00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: What is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast.

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: The Mets won a game for the first time in

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 2: over a week.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: It's been a couple episodes since we talked to you,

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: guys where we can talk about a win, but we

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: got one game. Three p Alonzo walk off home run

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: series wasn't pretty again, but at least the Mets won

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: a game, and as crazy as it's gonna sound, we're

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: gonna have gained ground, which is insane to say after

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: you lose a series. That's how bad the National League

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: Wildcard race is right now that the Mets just gained

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: a game despite losing two of three this weekend. Guys,

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: James, I was in the ballpark for all three.

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: How did Noel McClean look on Sunday, Because again he

22
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: just shoved He looked awesome. Thing about McClain, and I

23
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: said this after his last start. I'm gonna say that

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: after this one, he might say that to his next one.

25
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't even feel that sharp sometimes, and hitters can't

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: really do anything against him. He has organized his repertoire

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: in such a way where hitters have so little opportunity

28
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: to actually do serious damage that he has to really

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: miss his pitch as badly for I think anything to

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: be advantageously, for anyone had to have a chance to

31
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: actually put like a real swing on the ball, put

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: the ball and play that actually something bad could happen.

33
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Because in this game half the balls and play with grounders.

34
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: He had six or seven strikeouts, a couple pop ups,

35
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: there were four or five balls, and play the entire

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: game that something actually could have happened. So unless you

37
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: can stack them as the opposing team, you're really not

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna do much. Yeah, I mean, he is the stopper.

39
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: I know we've all been asking for a stopper in

40
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: this rotation. As crazy as it sounds, was this four

41
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: or five starts into his career. How many are you

42
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: in now? Six? He's the stopper. He's the best pitcher

43
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: on in this rotation. If the Mets were lucky enough

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: to make to the playoffs. He's the Game one starter,

45
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: I think undoubtedly.

46
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: I think so too. He's the lowest d.

47
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Through six career starts for any Met in history. The

48
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: only guys threw six Stars with more strikeouts were Nolan

49
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: Ryan and Matt Harvey.

50
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: Like it's just it's ridiculous, but it really is.

51
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: Like it's funny that how much his pitches have changed,

52
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: even since he's come to the majors, because I still

53
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: get tons and tons of people on Twitter being like, ridiculous,

54
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: we didn't get this guy called up sooner. I don't

55
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: want to change anything about it is Nolan McClain. Thing

56
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: has gone like it's happened so perfectly. He got just

57
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: enough season in Triple A. The way he changed his

58
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: release point, the way it changes pitch movement a little

59
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: bit towards the end of it. And now even these

60
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: first two starts to the majors, remember that started against

61
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: the Mariners. We were at how important the curveball was

62
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: so good. Doesn't throw it anymore, doesn't even have to

63
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: do didn't need to. I mean the Rangers did. They

64
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of lefties say, is what Jack Peterson

65
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: and Josh Smith. No, that was kind of it. Peterson Smith,

66
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Alejandro Laudyre soon as a lefty, and I think Cody

67
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Freeman is he lefty as well. I don't think life

68
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: actually of guys that can actually do damage, and that's

69
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: probably a big reason why. Yeah, Raley's lefty as well. No,

70
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: of course it is. But it's funny that it's just

71
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: it's happened that way. It's just it comes back to

72
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: that sinker. We've been talking about a sinker so much

73
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: as fiend and singer goes, it drops down so damn

74
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: much he dropped. It's become so much better for him

75
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: that he threw almost two times as many sinkers than

76
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: four seams against the lefties today, just because he's so

77
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: confident to drop on that pitch and what can happen?

78
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: He was dotting it on the edges a lot.

79
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure you couldn't see that in the ballpark, which

80
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: is really picking off edges, whether it's so many called

81
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: strikes on it like it's it's incredible and again like

82
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: you just can't really you can't really hurt them, like

83
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: he fell behind the first five batters too. Oh, he

84
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: only got four swings, misses the entire game and he

85
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: still wins six inning, seven strikeouts, no runs. Yeah, he's

86
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: really good. It's really comforting to watch him pitch. I

87
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: don't feel nervous when he gets into trouble. He gets

88
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: those ground balls because of that sinker, because of the sweeper.

89
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: The defense behind him was great, Like you said, fifty

90
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: percent ground balls was insane to see in a game,

91
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: and getting those big double plays, the defense was clean.

92
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad he kept this game close, because of course

93
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: it's the Mets. Can't score too many runs if we're

94
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: starting to get good pitching.

95
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, especially not.

96
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: And the one thing that we also said that would

97
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: turn McClain like into a demon, which I think is

98
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: a demon he's becoming, is he can bang that front

99
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: hip syncer now on the left eas like. That's why

100
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: again he's been able to use more of those than

101
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: the four seamers because it's a better pitch way. He

102
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: can do so many things, and it's just ice in

103
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: his veins non stop, like the crazy pois he has.

104
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: He didn't cover first base on a plates there was

105
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: a step light two. That was a little disappointing, but

106
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: we kind of it seems like every pitcher on a

107
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: roster kind of does that, which is a problem in

108
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: of itself. But he's just he's he has so many

109
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: ways to get hitters out. It's amazing to watch him pitch. Yeah,

110
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: the Mets aren't necessarily the most prepared team and feels

111
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: like to say, yeah, fundamentally not prepared approach wise, mentally,

112
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like they're always necessarily prepared.

113
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if the coaching is always prepared.

114
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: We know that Mendoz has been sleeping at times, doesn't

115
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: make the right pitching change, or seems like he forgets

116
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: that he can take a picture out of a game

117
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: when they should be out of a game, which was

118
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: frustrating because we saw it again in this series.

119
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: It's just, uh, you know, at least.

120
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: There's one bright spot right now, which is Nolan McLain,

121
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: who looks awesome, and honestly, there's a couple of bright

122
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: spots too. I'm not I shouldn't say there's only one

123
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: bright spot, but he was the bright spot in this game,

124
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: along with the fact that Pete Alonzo hit that walk

125
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: off through run home run with such ease. I was screaming.

126
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that one we couldn't touch the Rangers

127
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: bullp It felt like all series couldn't hit Sean Armstrong.

128
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Does he have anything, James, because watching him in the stadium,

129
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: it's like ninety poo and I don't know he has

130
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: a sub one whip though, like that's.

131
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: Good, he's not.

132
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: He mixes well for a reliever because he's got the fastball,

133
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: the color, the sweeper, and his sweeper is kind of nutty.

134
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: You probably couldn't tell from the ballpark. The sweeper just

135
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: handto it's got a lot of vertical rise on it,

136
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: like it's a sweeper that it's kind of like a

137
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: much harder sweeper, but it still has a lot of

138
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: horizontal actions.

139
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: So that's kind of a weird one.

140
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: But he also has the fastball, the color, and the sinker,

141
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: so it's it's a bit of a confusing at bat.

142
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: While the stuff isn't tremendous like it's it's ninety four,

143
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: so it's not it's blow average for red especially righty reliever,

144
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: but he's really good at against suppressing the heart contact

145
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: because those that fastball triangle is a good especially for

146
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: a reliever.

147
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: It's a good thing to keep hitters off balance.

148
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we couldn't touch Hoby Milner. We could,

149
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, luckily we hit what was it, Carvello. I

150
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: don't I don't even know who. What his first name is,

151
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: he Leaves Cavello. He's been in the league for like

152
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Yeah, okay, that's exactly why. And he

153
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: doesn't really have much. But it was the chances that

154
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the Mets had in that one. We're frustrating that we

155
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: couldn't cash in. Sodo came up a couple of times.

156
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Love soda, this is not anti soda, but he came

157
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: up a couple of times. Couldn't get the job done. Luckily,

158
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Pete got it done when they intentionally walk Sodo, and

159
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: you know that's win that game. Yeah, Pete had a

160
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: few early in the game too, didn't come through. It's

161
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: nice seem to do at the end. But this also

162
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: as the game progressed, just because the start you got

163
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: from McClain, because you jumped out to the early lead,

164
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: almost at deja vous from Saturday, you got the solo

165
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: home run for the insurance run from a left handed bat.

166
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: There's strange, strange coincidence. But even once they came back

167
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: and tied the game. We'll talk about the ball come

168
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: the bullpen shortcomings that made that happen. When Ryan Stanley

169
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: clutches up in that tenth inning and you get a

170
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: scoreless tenth inning, you get to that bomb of the tent,

171
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: you have to win that game on the spot right there.

172
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: You had absolutely no choice. This was a must win

173
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: from the first pitch that was thrown. It was a

174
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: must win once you got the start from mcclan got

175
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: the lead. Once you're in that position, you need one

176
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: run to win the game. As early guy in second

177
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: base after losing eight in row, you absolutely had to

178
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: do it.

179
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: So thankfully it did happen.

180
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: But this would have been almost the worst spiral than

181
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: the last episode if that wouldn't have happened. Ooh yeah,

182
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean I said, no more crashouts, noshout.

183
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have crashed out. Got it out.

184
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: You guys seem to enjoy it did really well on YouTube,

185
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: So shout everybody who was watching over there. Shout to

186
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: the audio people too. We appreciate you. Yeah, I mean,

187
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Stanic had to come in the game. I didn't love it.

188
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: I didn't feel great in the ballpark. Had a pit

189
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: in my stomach. The fact that he has to pitch

190
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: with a runnerund him like this guy can't get having

191
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: any and clean with nobody on. Now you're gonna put

192
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: a guy on second basis, guy surely has to come

193
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: into score.

194
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: What was that noise? Helped firework? Okay, that was quite loud.

195
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I hope a firework as well, And

196
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: didn't even think about what the other hot come could be.

197
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Couldn't believe he got out of it. Couldn't believe it.

198
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: But one thing, because I was texting you during the game,

199
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: as I always do a little sneak sneak preview behind

200
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: the curtains for you guys. I was texting James like

201
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: this team has no intensity. That was the word that

202
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: I was using a lot today. Intensity. I felt a

203
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: lack of intensity from the team start to bottom everywhere,

204
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: and Ryan Stanley came off the mountain, went fucking ballistic.

205
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: And while there are moments where you don't need that,

206
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: it's good but give or take wherever you want to

207
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: be in that moment. To see Ryan saying show that

208
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: team need that Ryan stank needed. I love seeing that

209
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of emotion. These games are big games. We cannot act.

210
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: We can't act like this is just the regular season anymore.

211
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: This is the postseason right now for the Mets. This

212
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: at this exact moment is our postseason. And if we

213
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: want to continue to play and make it to the

214
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: next round, you gotta keep winning baseball games, and luckily

215
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: they did. Similar to a postseason, you kind of have

216
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: to win two out of three then, like two out

217
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: of the next three games, three out of the next

218
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: five games, like four at the next seven games. We

219
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: actually have to do that. But you said you didn't

220
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: really want to see Ryan Staney come in this game.

221
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I want to play again, not I want to play

222
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: a game right now. I want to take the entire

223
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: Mets bullpen. Minu Sean and I were gonna talk about.

224
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: And I moving to the bullpen.

225
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: I want you to rank them by trust. I want

226
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: we can go back and forth here too.

227
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: That we can do.

228
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: We can make our own circle of trust right now,

229
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: because Carlton's got a lot of shit for bringing Rigaranto

230
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: that game too.

231
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: With men on base, he pitched poorly.

232
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Again Again, I don't know who the other options are

233
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: at this point, because the way this bullpen's constructed, you

234
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: really don't have much to work with at all. So

235
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz at the top for sure. Edwin he has

236
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: number one. He's one to one. He's in the league

237
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: of his own. I know he struggled in Game two,

238
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: but he hadn't pitched it in fucking ten days. Yeah, well,

239
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that against the Game two as well.

240
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: Next tier, I know Tyler Rodgers hasn't been perfect, but

241
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: he's still going there because it's just it's soft contact

242
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: after soft contact after soft contact. I think he's doing

243
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: the job. It's just falling because our outfield defense is terrible.

244
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: So Tyler Rodgers is gonna be number two. I'm gonna

245
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: go number three, Brooks Raley. Brooks Raley is the best

246
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: lefty in this bullpen. We know, I'm not a huge

247
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: fan of Gregor Risoto, and it seems like every opportunity

248
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: that's any sort of close, Gregory Soto blows it. So

249
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm going Raley three. Then we drop down another tier,

250
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: and this is where it gets. This makes me sick

251
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: to my stomach and I feel uncomfortable. And this is

252
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: the decision that had to have been made in this game,

253
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: because when Bryce Raley lest these guys on base, who

254
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: do you bring up? Truthfully? Because I again I understand

255
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: like chastising Mendoza, because it does seem like every time

256
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: Ree Garrett's come in, he's blown the game.

257
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: I just didn't know what other option there was.

258
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Soto would have been the only choice

259
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: that I would have been okay with. I know, I

260
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: just said I don't like him, but I do like

261
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: him more than Ryan Stannick. I think it's probably like

262
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: him and Staniic are next, but they both feel not good. Yeah,

263
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: they don't feel good. And then obviously I have zero

264
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: faith in Ryan Helsley. I have zero faith in Reid

265
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Garrett and Dom Hammill. I don't know if he'll ever

266
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: actually pitch throw a pitch, but he will be on

267
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: this team again at some point, whether he ever makes

268
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: an appearance or I was a major league that's yet

269
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: to be seen.

270
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: You know what I want to do with the trust tree.

271
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: I want to see one of these actual minor league

272
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: relievers come up. I would put Chris Davinski ahead of

273
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Ryan Helsley and Read Garrett right now.

274
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: I'd put Austin Warren ahead of him. Who's look good.

275
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I've put Kevin hurganet ahead of him, like those guys

276
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: will be throwing strikes at least read Garrett. The biggest

277
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: problem is he can't fucking throw strikes. And then when

278
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: he gives up the big hit because the stuff's not

279
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: getting swings and misses, it's there's damage. And he always

280
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: comes on with runners on base.

281
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: He can't do it.

282
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: We can't put him on with runners and on base anymore.

283
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: He struggles every single time. Give me Ryan Lamber, give

284
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: me Dylan Ross. Rie Garrett has an option. We are

285
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: at the point in the season where I think I

286
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: think it's over for Ried Garrett.

287
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: Wipe your hands done. Not on this team this season.

288
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: The rest of the way.

289
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: He has an option. You could have him if you

290
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: still believe in him next year. But we at least

291
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: have to exercise all the other options of Dylan Ross

292
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: or Ryan Lamber or Davinski or Austin somebody else. Because

316
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: It's so frustrating that inning too, because Garrett comes in

317
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: to face Why Langford, the right handed batter, and he

318
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: gets up on him oh too oh on a really

319
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: nice sweeper and a really nice building. You're like, okay, nice,

320
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: this is our read, Garrett, and he misses badly with

321
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: a few pitches after that, and Why Langford takes a

322
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: few tough pitches and then then you get to Jock Peuison,

323
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: which is a bit of an easy at bad I

324
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: think for Jock Peus and he gets the gallagery here.

325
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.

326
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Also, a lot of people are clamoring for Dylan Ross

327
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: and Ryan Lambert. I think Ryan Lambert is zero percent chance.

328
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: I think you should, I think, but I just think

329
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: that he hasn't pitched triple A yet. I just don't

330
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: think we're going to do a double jump. And with

331
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: Dylan Ross, he is right, but he is for the

332
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Man too by this winter. He has to be on

333
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: there by December. So I think there has been some

334
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: conversation about how tight the forty man roster's gotten because

335
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: we've added Sprote, McLain and Tong to it.

336
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: You have to put Ross on.

337
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: The forty man anyway before December happens. We know there

338
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: has to be a shuffling with the sixty day IL

339
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: guys have to go back onto the official forty man

340
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: at some point. It's just I'm there, probably work, yes, yeah,

341
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean Brandon Waddell doesn't need to be on this

342
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: doesn't He doesn't have to be on the forty man.

343
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Pintaro doesn't have to be on the forty man.

344
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: A cool story, doesn't need to be there. Kevin Hurget

345
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be there. He was just in trust, sure,

346
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: but he doesn't need to be there. Alex Correo doesn't

347
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: need to be there. I think we've seen what the

348
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: deal is with him. And then if you want to

349
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: look at some of the sixty day Iel guys, I

350
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: know you're not going to do this right now, but like,

351
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: does dead Neille Nuni has ever throw another pitch for

352
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: the Mets, don't know, I don't know.

353
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: Does Drew Smith?

354
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I think he probably well, actually yeah he might.

355
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, like these are these are the

356
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: conversation to have.

357
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: But there there are guys on this roster, without a doubt,

358
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: that don't really need.

359
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: To be on this roster much longer.

360
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dylan rosson Triple A hasn't given up an earned

361
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: run since August thirteenth.

362
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: Again, I think Whersey throw. What's his deal? There's one

363
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: hundred two miles an hour.

364
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: That's all I need to know? Great? Ok, yeah, No,

365
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: that's that's all you have to That's it, that's all

366
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: I need to know. Yeah, I'll give you some more

367
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: pitch mix stuff right here from Triple As. I scrolled

368
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: down and grab it's it's a fastball. He says ninety seven,

369
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: but he gets to one hundred. He also has a

370
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: split cool cool and sounds like you could be a

371
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: major league believer to me in eighty a mile and

372
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: iur slide. I think he definitely can be. I do

373
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: think that this might be one of situations where they

374
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: could be possibly overthinking some of this forty man stuff,

375
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: but knowing that he has to be on the forty

376
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: man by this December. Anyway, it feels like, if you

377
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: think he's good enough, he's also a Georgia guy. I didn't

378
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: know that, but if he I'll also say this reed

379
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: Garrett could be that open spot too.

380
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: The version that we've seen of him.

381
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll cut him right now though, Yes, but if

382
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: if you were stressed so badly and read Garrett's decision,

383
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: the forty man decision on read Garrett is whether you

384
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: could possibly make the playoffs or not. I think you

385
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: have to take the chance that you miss on read Garrett,

386
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: who's now shown two years in a row he cannot

387
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: make it past August.

388
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: Pre Guartt did snap back one pitch one in the playoffs.

389
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: So much what we're talking about with standing now, because

390
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: I also I want to do the exercise. Just talk

391
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: about how we've been critical of Mendoza a lot. I

392
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: think he deserved it recently. But in terms of the

393
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: bullpen management, oh there's no there's no fucking options.

394
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: So I don't want to do that.

395
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: You either either get a pile of ship or fucking

396
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: load of ship. There's no real option, or just a

397
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: bunch of piss. But that regard last ten appearances to

398
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: nine e R and twenty five percent, strike got right.

399
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: So again, in terms of what the inherited runners that

400
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: have scored, I want those. This is why you're becoming

401
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: an era man. I I'm right now because I just

402
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: want to say something that can give Ryan Sannick a

403
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: half step in the right direction, because in terms of

404
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: everyone else out there, it's it's really fucking bad. It's

405
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: just is And the problem is with the way this

406
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: bullpen's aligned. Hellsley's the guy that is the stot. He's

407
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: the he's the he's the constipation right now in this bullpen.

408
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: We can't he can't pitch in games at all. He

409
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: got through schools ending after a guy getting thrown out

410
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: on double play on Friday night. But it's just it's

411
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: not it's really bad, like that's we were like we

412
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: were talking another group chat today about the aggressives of

413
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: David Stearns and how the season reflect poorly on him.

414
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: That was just such a fucking aggressive move. He just

415
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: can't He just forgot how to pitch like that. That

416
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: was one I just for sure can't hold that against him.

417
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: But again, he's the one that's kind of stopping us.

418
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't have an option. He can't pitch in close games,

419
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: he can't give you length. Like he's a fucking huge

420
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: issue right now. He's you're kind of nursing him through,

421
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: Like Ryan standing's ahead of him in the PEC. Mordan

422
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: right now.

423
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: By far.

424
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: It really sucks that, Like, what's exactly gonna happen is

425
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Hell's is gonna figure it out just in time for

426
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: him to leave us? Yeah, definitely, Or you know that's

427
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: your resigning. People are gonna lose their minds. Oh people,

428
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: I'd lose my fucking mind if we resign Ryan Helser.

429
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: You kidding me? Right now he's fighting for a spring

430
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: training invite. Would you be more upset about if we

431
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: resigned Ryan Helser if we signed Devin Williams Paul Man.

432
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you two relievers are gonna be in the

433
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: best radu of this offseason. Get ready for that conversation?

434
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: God that, why don't I'm not answering that right now.

435
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: I want to do this to me. We want a

436
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: game today. I'm trying to relax.

437
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: People happy screaming at us with their headphones in right now.

438
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: So someone's gonna drive into the back of a car

439
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: on purpose because they're gonna can't believe you just asked

440
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: that question. But yeah, I just want to start posting

441
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: some of these questions because again, our bullpen is fucking

442
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: awful right now. It's very bad top to butt and

443
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: even like that, I guess we're gonna move backwards chronologically

444
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: in this episode. The game on Saturday, Edwin was terrible.

445
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: He was missing pitches left and right. That ball under

446
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: why Yeah. But then also you think about it because

447
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: also similarly in this game, Brett Baby was caught sleeping

448
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: badly at second base. These guys haven't played enough baseball

449
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 1: in the last week, especially relative to how good they

450
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: are compared to the other options on this team, and

451
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: that part of it sucks, Like that Rally Till has

452
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: ground rule double. That was a slide that's just sat

453
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: middle middle, because sometimes Edwin cond just throws those cement mixers.

454
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes they work well enough because I say this a

455
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: lot the slide, they're kind of actually a change up.

456
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: Fredwin doesn't exactly have horizontal break. It's more of just

457
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: like a it's it's different spin, it's different speed like

458
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of what that slidely represents.

459
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: And even the.

460
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: Single to why Lang for two, it was a fastball

461
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: just right down in the middle. A lot of times

462
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Edwin is good enough throw fastballs right down the middle.

463
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: In that case, he was not, and that's how you

464
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: wind up blowing that game. It sucks that he was

465
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: the one to blow it. But at the same time,

466
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: guy's barely pitching a week, Like I understand him not

467
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: being crisp and sharp, and he has not come into games,

468
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: yeah since September fifth, so since he changed the cleats

469
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: right in Cincinnati. Yeah, that was the last game we

470
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: won before today. That was the last game. For god,

471
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: this is the last game we won. Jesus.

472
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: He pitched one time before that.

473
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: In that time stretch from September fifth to September thirteenth,

474
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: Edwin d has had pitched one inning. And I know

475
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: the Mets were losing, but we know that there are

476
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: times that Windy Haz could come into these games when

477
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: the Mets are losing and still keep this game close

478
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: or than it has been.

479
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: Because right now, that's another thing too.

480
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: You gotta keep games close, and the Mets haven't been

481
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: able to a lot of times them been able to

482
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: keep them close. When we've seen Hellsy come into games

483
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: and blower. We see this, we see that all of

484
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, five three becomes eight three, and you're like, well,

485
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: we definitely can't win now, Oh.

486
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: Toy, do you want to get mad?

487
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? Eric Schavas Instagram story, Oh don't you fucking say

488
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: that to me. God damn it, let me see.

489
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: Don't even tell me. Don't even tell me you want

490
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: a live reaction, all right?

491
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: Eric Schavez Instagram story, he posted the fucking Pete thing

492
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: and said, ha ha ha, I felt like I was

493
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: surfing on top of a dragon there. All right, that

494
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: one doesn't bother me as much. But with the Bitmoji laughing,

495
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean the bit Mooji's insane, but that okay, I

496
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna take credit. He's being supportive of Pete,

497
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: not not infuriating to me. That good vibes. Eric Shabaz there,

498
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: I'll give you that one, but still fucking don't like them.

499
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: All right. Back to the game Saturday, all the disaster

500
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: in that game again, like you you blow that game,

501
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of guys who haven't been playing

502
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: much recently who felt like they weren't really prepared for

503
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: the moment at all. Sure, but also Edwin, I give

504
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: more more leeway to Babe getting picked off there was inexcusable.

505
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: Time off is like not a good excuse for him there,

506
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: I think time off is good for like him, maybe

507
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: not being as sharp as sharp as at the plate,

508
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: but him getting picked off.

509
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: There was crazy off of a pitching chains.

510
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: He he just literally was not prepared, which has been

511
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things to say about this team

512
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: all year. Yeah, that was, but that wasn't exactly like

513
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: the moment anything turns in this game. But that was

514
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: like an oh, this is like the beginning of things.

515
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: I feel like they could start going wrong again. And

516
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: that was when the game could have gotten out of

517
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: hand for.

518
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: Us, kind of not.

519
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: We still want nothing for two more innings and so

520
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: did hit the home run before anything could even happen

521
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: for the Rangers deeper into this game. Sure, but that

522
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: was that was that was our step on the throw

523
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: mone we had first and second, there was a pitching change,

524
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: nobody out, and then all of a sudden you get

525
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: to pick off the play aginning over. It was all

526
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean again, it was another just weird Mendoza game

527
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of different for a lot of different reasons.

528
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't believe when Acuna came into play third base.

529
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: I really couldn't believe that at of course, not that

530
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: was shocking.

531
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't understand the fascination with playing Louise on Helicunya

532
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: as much as he plays. I don't. I don't understand it.

533
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: He has value on the expanded roster running and late

534
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: late innings defense at second at second, not.

535
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: At third base, where he doesn't play.

536
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: Because Langford also smashed that double by him, I don't

537
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: think it was a one that anyone would have got like,

538
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: I definitely not.

539
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone was just it was a well

540
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: struck ball.

541
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I was just like, it

542
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: is weird that he is playing there, Like Brett Baity

543
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: has like nine more inches of reaching Louis on Helocuni

544
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: does like.

545
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: It could have been third base.

546
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: It's pos it's more possible and also to the catcher's

547
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: inference to have a catcher's inference in the game. But

548
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: you get it got picked off second base. We keep

549
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: getting these catches and inferences happened the most far. It

550
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: happens for Sus squealvers more than I think most other

551
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: catchers in the league. Like it's it's a really really

552
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: really frustrating things that could frustrating thing that has happened

553
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: to the team more than usual this season. I feel

554
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: like every single time it's best in the ass. I

555
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: thought it was also pretty cool how the Mets had

556
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: eleven hits and scored two runs because ten of those

557
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: hits were singles, and just for the songlest crowd out there, Yes,

558
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: and it was nice for all for also for the

559
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: crowd of the one. So the stat pat like that

560
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: win the moment that was a very important home run.

561
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: And then night when Alva, when Lindor and Alonso both

562
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: did not show up to there at bats like, so

563
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: those one who got the single got the third and

564
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: the Ronnie hit and you still can't do that. Also

565
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: want to just absolutely just shed light on the Cedric

566
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Mullins at bat in the eight. That was one of

567
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: the worst I've seen by any player in any team

568
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: all season. Absolutely, Barney, No, he's been a him and

569
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: him and Hellesley probably just can't play in New York.

570
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 2: It seems like it's.

571
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: Just I think that when things got better and now

572
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: they've been piled on, it seems like they've both been

573
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: mentally broken.

574
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 2: At least.

575
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: Mall has got another hit in this game on Sunday,

576
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: but like he got two, he got three fat curve

577
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: balls from film Aiton right down the middle. The only

578
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: weekend was a hitting coach who played in the Majors

579
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: and was a left handed hitter when he was playing.

580
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: That could maybe help out this guy with his left

581
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: handed swing right now, if only it was watching the

582
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: end of that game, we do. I feel like in

583
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: the ballparks they're blowing that game. Well, I had to

584
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: leave early because I had to go watch South Carolina,

585
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: so I might not be it was I was. I've

586
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: had a miserable sports week. The Mets didn't win for

587
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: a week straight. They lost eight straight games. South Carolina

588
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: gets blown out by Vandy and Diego Pavia and the

589
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: Commanders lose on Thursday night. I up until this game,

590
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: game three win, I hadn't seen a win in a week.

591
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: I just wanted to see one go through. I was

592
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: looking to win anything.

593
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: It also kind of feels like that's what the Mets

594
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: feeling right now too, Like they kind of also seemed

595
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: like they had to see one go through, like seeing

596
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: the way they I don't know, maybe not, like maybe

597
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: they're just getting over the skis after one win. This

598
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: is like the classic now, oh now we're fixed. Now

599
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: we're protending we're right.

600
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: But did it did feel very for them?

601
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: Fuck it dark for me as a fan, like to

602
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: actually Pete at the helm run and just like, take

603
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: a deep breath as a team, right now, just relax

604
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: for a second.

605
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 2: I liked that how they celebrate the home run too.

606
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: I know that sounds crazy for a walk off homer,

607
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: but it felt like very much like a like let's

608
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: fucking go, Like we did this, Finally it happened, we

609
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: got to hit. Pete threw his helmet off, which I've

610
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: actually never seen anybody do before they start getting close

611
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: to homeplate. He threw it off at home plate. He celebrated.

612
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: People were jumping, screaming, going around the bases. He talked about,

613
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: like I said in Eric Chobas's Instagram post, he felt

614
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: like he was riding a dragon, which I do believe.

615
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: When you say you're riding the dragon, isn't that a

616
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: euphemism for like like doing cocaine, not doing cocaine, like

617
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: doing heroin. Isn't that called like ryan the dragon or

618
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: chasing the dragon?

619
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: Sounds right? It feels very sixties seventies like motif right there.

620
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it did feel like I hope it feels

621
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: like that's the thing that can help them get over

622
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: this fucking loser streak that they've had. Because this team

623
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: has felt like they didn't believe that they could win

624
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: baseball games.

625
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe this helps.

626
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: But they say after every game, we do believe we

627
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: can win. I think this also was the first because

628
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: they say it, no, you're to say anything. This weekend,

629
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: they also were starting to get more the emotional is

630
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: not the word, but a little bit more like I

631
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: don't know, honest in some of these press conferences, like

632
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: Nemo was basically like we're we're like not happy in

633
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: this in the locker room, like think this is really badman,

634
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: those sad guys.

635
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: In turn, they're showing frustration.

636
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: We saw Solo slam a helmet the at bat before

637
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: the home run on Saturday. When he did when he

638
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: had to pop up against Patrick corban fastball, it just

639
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: seems so fat coming into him.

640
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: He was so attisted.

641
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: He couldn't hit Patrick Corbant. Every at bat you saw

642
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: him like, oh my god, I can't hit this guy.

643
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: What's going on?

644
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: But the frustration has seemed more apparent. Even felt like Pete,

645
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: let me know if you rewatch this and you get

646
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: this read. It felt like he was extra emotional after

647
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: that home run as well, like they felt like there

648
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: was like a quiver voice, like legitimate. No. We saw

649
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: Tom Based almost crying in his media availability on Friday,

650
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: like this team seems like, well I wanted to do

651
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: spro first. We're going full backwards, yes, of course, yeah,

652
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: so I will talk about spro too. Sproke in that

653
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: game Saturday was also awesome. Again awesome, and it was

654
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: cool to watch him as we work backwards, the juxtaposition

655
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: of him versus tongue, and I think that Ronnie was

656
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: really describing it well doing this game on Saturday, just

657
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: being like he's pitching with for lack of a better term,

658
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: huge balls like Brandon. Sprot had absolutely no fear out there,

659
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: like he was just going after guys, going after guys,

660
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: going after guys. Fifteen to twenty three first pitch strikes

661
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: for him. He was just absolutely establishing the inside against

662
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: the riotys that because that sinker the two seamers awesome

663
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: for that, and he was just burying it on their

664
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: hands over and over again. Ten he faced thirteen right

665
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: handed battles in this game, ten of them got first

666
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: pitch sinkers, and also said that the sweeper really really

667
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: well and a sweeper was kind of only with pitch

668
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: so setting that that outside sweeper against the Riotys was

669
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: awesome because it was disgusting moving out there. It's like

670
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: he's just that not being afraid was really nice to

671
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: see from Sproke, just as I try and hit it

672
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: a dare you. Similarly, he felt very in control.

673
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: He felt very in command you.

674
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: I felt very confident on the mound, And unlike McLean

675
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: and Tonge who Sprots had the hype but not of

676
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: recent sprot is a little I don't I want to

677
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: say he's like a calming presence out there. I don't

678
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: get a ton of emotion from him. Maybe on the

679
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: broadcast it looked a little bit different, but like he's

680
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: just out there. His wind ups like super normal, Like

681
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: his fundamentals are very very like if you found a picture,

682
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: this is kind of what it would look like. There's

683
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: one hundred, which is really cool. Yeah, but he got

684
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: again a lot of soft contact. I just felt like

685
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: the Mets really desperately needed that kind of performance, based

686
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: on how the night before went with Joda Tongue basically

687
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: only going get.

688
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 4: In it, crats, I'm gonna still a line right from

689
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: the top here about me Undies a cut for every butt.

690
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 4: I took a line that I feel like you would enjoy,

691
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: but then you stole my thunder with show and tell.

692
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 3: What do you have there.

693
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 5: Besides a huge Baduka dunk. This is my pair of

694
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 5: Meundies that I got. I'm not gonna show you the

695
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 5: other pair right now because I got them on. But

696
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 5: it doesn't even feel like you have him on, super soft,

697
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 5: flexible and yet holding everything together.

698
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: I love the twenty different styles, one hundred different colors

699
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: and prints, and the micro modal fabric is what you're

700
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,800

707
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, two outs, but it was saying he was in control.

708
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: Was true? Sproll only had one three ball count that

709
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: entire game, and that one three ball count was right

710
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: after that Jonaheim double in.

711
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: The fifth when he did have to tighten up.

712
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: So it was kind of thing where he was feeling

713
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: a little bit freer, looser and easier. Then there's the

714
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: man on the go ahead runner on base at that time.

715
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: I remember if that was in the tying runner, the

716
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: go ahead guy. No, yeah, we had we had to

717
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: be scored yet No, I don't think we scored you. No,

718
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: we actually scored the bomb thening. So it would have

719
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: been to put them up ahead. That was when he

720
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: tightened up and got a little bit more careful. But

721
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: it's just he's he's just he got it was. It

722
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: was like a confidence about him that was nice to see.

723
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Would you have pulled them after six? Because I thought

724
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: that was an interesting decision.

725
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: I thought at that at the time, I was pretty

726
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: okay with it.

727
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: The good guy. I knew we had the off day

728
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: Monday and it was all hands on deck. Also, his

729
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: velocity was kind of waning on everything through that sixth inning,

730
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: and he just wasn't missing bats. So like when a

731
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: guy's not missing bats and you're getting around the order

732
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: for that third time, I do tend to get a

733
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: little nervous, like that's I think that's just it. I

734
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: I thought that it wasn't a perfect decision. I almost

735
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: would have rather to see him McClain get pushed the

736
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: extra inning on Sunday interesting and then having seen sprode

737
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: through the extra inning and yesterday, I really just think

738
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: it was it was just he got the middle of

739
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: the order out, but they were hitting the ball much

740
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: harder at that inning. The two guys were on base

741
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: and there were two sharp line drives to get out

742
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: of it, and you saw them jumping on him like

743
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: absolutely every single at that for that buyer with the

744
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: Rangers in that in that sixth inning, three hitters and

745
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: ros swunk the first pitch and all three of them

746
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of tattooed the ball. So just seeing that, seeing

747
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: that he hadn't got any swings and misses, I think

748
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: we get a little obsessed with the hundred pitches as fans.

749
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: As people, we'd be like, you gotta get to one hundred,

750
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: get to a hundred. I think it's a little stupid.

751
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: I think that we shouldn't even managers. I think this

752
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: happens to it's shortcong by some people.

753
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: I feel like we.

754
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: Shouldn't hold this strange milestone because the nice, pretty round

755
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: number like today McLain, the way he was. I would

756
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: have been cool to see him go to a hundred

757
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: and ten sprote yesterday. I was really happy to seeing

758
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: Boaldland he was.

759
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

760
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: My my biggest issue was just that I did I

761
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: know he you know, had some hard contact. I felt

762
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: like he was still rolling. And the fact that I

763
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: don't trust anybody in this bullpen. That's the other problem too.

764
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: But again, once I saw those Rangers heads this third

765
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: time around three straight guys, bang bang bang swing At

766
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: the first.

767
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: Pitch he came out for. Who would have been the

768
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: next batter? Up? Was it Josh junger Osuna? Which one

769
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: was due up?

770
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: It was? Whoever pinch it it was? It was o

771
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: soon and he'd been pitched at Delamore. But again I

772
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: would I would have let Yeah, I probably would have

773
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: him faced one more. But ultimately at the end of

774
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: the day then you just push guys back an inning.

775
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: Brooks Raley pitches that one. This was, you know, and

776
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: it's probably still the end of the day. We still

777
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: lose this game. We scored two runs, no hundred like

778
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: this in that game. A big problem with he has

779
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: not being sharped. He has becoming to this game. No

780
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: matter what that was, it so okay, I thought, seeing

781
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: the velosoity dip, seeing how aggressive the Rangers hitters had become.

782
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: They were aggressive the whole game, but that was the

783
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: first time they started. I felt like really getting around

784
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: on him, like it's just he sprose pitching right now,

785
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: a lot more moxie than stuff. I think that's cool,

786
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: but sometimes you get deeper into a game like the

787
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: moxie can only take you so far. Juxtaposition with what

788
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: happened on Friday night where Jonah Toong was more stuff

789
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: and had zero moxie in that game, Maxie.

790
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: Lest this was a weird one.

791
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: This is when this is probably the first time ever

792
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: in the history of this podcast think a moment be

793
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: critical of Jeremy after there ever, first time ever, because

794
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: it seemed like there was a real change in game

795
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: planning between what happened Jonah Tong's first two starts and

796
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: what happened in this start. Last week against the Reds,

797
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: seventeen of his first twenty pitches were fastballs. In this start,

798
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: the first two pitches of the game were fastballs, he

799
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: missed with both of them, and then ten of the

800
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: next twelve pitches were not fastballs, and then interesting after

801
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: that third battered, when those twelve pitches were up, came

802
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: out for a mountain visit, and then he threw two

803
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: fastballs again and then no more fastballs after that. So

804
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: it seemed like, I don't know if this was a

805
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: half your thing, go away from the fastball, so if

806
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: this was a tong thing fearing the fastball, but did

807
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: seem like there was some kind of disconnect and that's

808
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: how this whole thing kind of a.

809
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: Rode it very fast. Yeah, it was. It was a

810
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: very scared start.

811
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: It felt like from Jonah tom Yeah, he wasn't attacking,

812
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: felt like he was worried about the home runs that

813
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: he gave up in Cincinnati.

814
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: He didn't want to give up fast home runs.

815
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: Yet didn't want to give up the home runs, wanted

816
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: to go deep into this game. This was the fear

817
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: of calling up a pitcher like Jonah Toong at the

818
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: time that we did because he is so young in

819
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: his pitching career, so young in his adult life, he's

820
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: twenty two years old. That was the worry was maybe

821
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: there would be games that were a little too big

822
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: for him at the moment, and it felt like this one,

823
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: especially with the gram coming back that the conversation of

824
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: the Graham handing off the torch to Jonah Tong, He's

825
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: the next you know, he's the next future A. So

826
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: this roster they have the same birthday. We've done it,

827
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: We've you know, we've even hyped it up a little bit.

828
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: Felt like the moment was a little bit too big

829
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: for him. This does not change. I think about Jonah

830
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Toong as a pitcher for the rest of his career,

831
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: but this season, I'm not quite sure what his role

832
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: should be on this team. The rest of the year,

833
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: I think you should be on this roster. I think

834
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: he's maybe the bullpen is the best spot for him

835
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: just for now. Is that crazy? Ronnie had an amazing

836
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: comment on Saturday talking about the difference again because I

837
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: think it was cool to see these three guys pitch

838
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: day after day after day and cool just see the

839
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: difference in the mentality of pitching between Sprot and Tongue

840
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: and these back to back games. And he said, Triple A,

841
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: especially the upper miners, it's you really do you season

842
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: your craft? You face higher level hitters in Double A

843
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: more than anything else. He said, that was where he

844
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: specifically and he's talked about other pictures with this learn

845
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: how to lose is where you learn how to wear it.

846
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like tong Well, of course he's never

847
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: done that. He basically didn't have any bad starts ever

848
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues, like he didn't really ever have

849
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: to learn to lose because no one could touch anything.

850
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: And it did seem like this was a start where

851
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: he couldn't really get himself over that mental hurdle of

852
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: maybe not having your best stuff, maybe not having your

853
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: best command. But sometimes you kind of just have to

854
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: let them play them play hope things go well. And

855
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: there were a couples the Rangers weren't exactly hit smacking

856
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: the ball around the yard that Friday night against Tongue.

857
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I mean.

858
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: Brand Nimma let that ball drop in front of him

859
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: in the left field. That was like, well, I screamed

860
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: from the seats in I was like, how do you

861
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: not get there? One dropped in front of Solo too.

862
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: That a great corner of outfield that probably gets that.

863
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: But they seemed like they had a plan to swing

864
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: at the fastball and he got scared to put in

865
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: his zone seven. The Rangers only swung eight times. In

866
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: that first inning, Johan tong threw forty pitches, they scored

867
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: six runs. Rangers only swung at two of the first

868
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: twenty pitches that Tongue threw SAE And on top of that,

869
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: seven of their eight total swings came against the fastball.

870
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: But none of those balls and play again were hard

871
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: hit balls. They found grass. That's what that's what the

872
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: goal is. And then all of the run scoring hits

873
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: came against that fastball. He threw ten fast balls in

874
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: his zone, they swung at seven of them, and there

875
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: was only one total swing in miss and no chases

876
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: outside the strike zone. Not great, not great, But again

877
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: I think it was like a fear like we saw

878
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: him leading the fastball in those first couple of starts,

879
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: and while he wasn't missing the bad same way, it's

880
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: still difficult pitches score because of like the illusion of

881
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: the rising it has on it. It's it's probably a

882
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: lesson for all of us too, for stat line scouting.

883
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people like like the statline scout,

884
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: but that we've been kind of talking about the fact

885
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: that Tongu is missing a piece of this repertoire that

886
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: he's going to need to take him to the next level,

887
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: whether that be some kind of other slider, whether that

888
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: be the tightening of that curve ball, something else, because

889
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: there's just nothing in between the big fastball to change

890
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: up the low curveball. And as you can tell that,

891
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: these hitthers are just waiting for that fastball.

892
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: They know it's coming. I do think he's going to

893
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: figure it out too.

894
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: I think he's going to make his next star and

895
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: I think he might pitch really well on that one.

896
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: I just think that does You just can't like, I

897
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know again, if it was the fear by him,

898
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: if Heffner tried to change something up a lot or

899
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: a tongue got scared that they're missing with those first

900
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: couple of fastballs. Maybe that's why have amount visit. The

901
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: third battery of the game is crazy too. That was

902
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: good for Hefner for I think going out early and

903
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: getting him. So many people were critical of Jeremy Hafner

904
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: for not giving a mount visit, and it was like, yo,

905
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: he gave one. They're bad of the game. You guys

906
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: just said that to you. Yeah, I like you said it.

907
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: I was like, you go talk to him please, and

908
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: you're like, here they did, but that I've never seen

909
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: him out its early in a game. But I do

910
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: think that watching Tong miss those first two fastballs, then

911
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: put changes in the zone, and then after after comes out,

912
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: he again throws fastballs, misses them again, he was probably like, hey, man,

913
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: throw the fastball, and Tong's like, I think I think

914
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: talking about God, I think it was a little bit

915
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: again like started the saying it was critical Hesner, but

916
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: did seemed like there was maybe some kind of disconnect

917
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: with Tong, kind of fearing doing something wrong rather than

918
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: wanting to do something right, which is kind of the

919
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: entire tenor of what's happened with this team of the

920
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: last few weeks as well, a fear of failure rather

921
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: than like the joy of potential success. Yeah, no, this

922
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: team fears failure. They don't they're not excited to win.

923
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: That's that's not like fair to say that they're not

924
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: excited to win. But I think you can understand what

925
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying and that this isn't a team that's like,

926
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: how can we do every single thing that we possibly

927
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: can to win? We're gonna win. We want to win.

928
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: They're more like, oh shit, I hope we don't lose.

929
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: That's kind of what this team feels like. And you

930
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: feel that a lot with some of these defensive swings

931
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: that have happened last few days, well, like were talked

932
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: about them allins a bad Saturday. It's literally it seemed

933
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: like he was just absolutely trying so hard not to

934
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: strike out because he just doesn't want to keep hearing

935
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: this is like one of the worst one of the

936
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: worst times is literally entire relatives successful major league pretyxcess

937
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: major career, especially since he stopped switch hitting because when

938
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: he switched hit, he did this all the time because

939
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: he couldn't hit from the right side. But yeah, it did.

940
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: What did he just start switch hitting? Yeah, they start

941
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: switch hitting again. Maybe maybe you just start hitting right here.

942
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 2: Starting rights to figure it out.

943
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: But it just did feel like and this is something

944
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: that was always gonna happen with tongue jump, making the

945
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: jump that he did, being as young as he is,

946
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: like it, I thought Ronnie said it really well. I

947
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: thought the fact that it's so cool having the three

948
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: of them do these games like they're so good and

949
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: the three of them are together, there was so much

950
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: insight that he was giving into tongue. I thought that

951
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: comment about learning how lose in the upper minders was

952
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: really really insightful from Ron. What else we want to

953
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: talk about this game? Shout Oscar Brasabon did phenomenal at

954
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: of the bullpen and yeah bo too.

955
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: Brasbon also didn't cover first base.

956
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: Hated that, sure, but luckily it didn't end up really

957
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: doing too too much for us, which was not that bad.

958
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: But those guys giving us five innings of rulers. Baseball

959
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: didn't have that in my scorecard. No. I also thought

960
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: it was it was kind of funny, like I know

961
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: this is who this guy is, but it's strange as

962
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: a fan and also watching the opposing teams by language,

963
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: was funny to see when Alvarez laced that home run

964
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: against a Gram to make it six to one in

965
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: the third inning, and he was just going nuts around

966
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: the base, his crazy bat flip flexing, like putting the

967
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: arm up, going past the Rangers dugout. Josh Young was

968
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: looking at him like are you joking? Dude? Like do

969
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: you see the score? Do you see what was happening

970
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: with your team right now? I like, literally, how could

971
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: you be doing this? I know that's who Alvarez is

972
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: I understand how it could ruffle people's feathers. Well, at

973
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: the same time, it's amazing with Doo right now, he's

974
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: been so consistently good. He's been so much more consistent

975
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: at the plate. He's been a really good force to

976
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: bottom of the lineup. He was the main hither in

977
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: that game for the Mets on Friday Night.

978
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 2: And also we got a round on to Grom.

979
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: We had thirteen hard hit balls, we only had two strikeouts,

980
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: We only swung in miss five times against him, and

981
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: it was just that was kind of like the all

982
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: of the luck that de Gram didn't have our on

983
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: the mound with us. He kind of got though. That

984
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: was like a cosmic force that was helping to Grom

985
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: be lucky in that game.

986
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a weird one. Definitely felt weird.

987
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: Especially de Gram starting at film Aton getting to end

988
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: multiple games for us in this series is insane because

989
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: that guy is not very good, but he's getting he's

990
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: getting big out to get in some way somehow.

991
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: I've been a great year.

992
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: If you look at the last like six years of

993
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: film Aiton's four very good years and two bad ways.

994
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, it's just a good believer.

995
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how. I still don't know how

996
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: he blows ninety ninety by our guys as if he's

997
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: throwing one hundred and two miles an hour. I've never

998
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: seen it before. Yeah, this game kind of was after

999
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: the first inning, the whole place was so shell shocked.

1000
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: But ass yeah, major ass. We were just sitting in

1001
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: our seats like we can't even believe it's happy right now.

1002
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: I do want to bring it to another part of

1003
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: this game, though. It'd be a bit of a media

1004
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: Marvel's first move done a while, and this is going

1005
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: to be choose your own adventure, few guys, whether you

1006
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: want a media Marvel, Mark and I or whether you

00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: or you can media Marvel the Mets, So choose your

1009
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: Also shout out S and Y because we got to

1010
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: hear what they're about to say, and also shout John

1011
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: Demarcico liked my tweet on this situation as well, so

1012
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: I feel like we're on the right side here.

1013
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, like likes a private but interesting for you to

1014
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: share that one.

1015
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: So it was really talked about de Groam making this

1016
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: return of the City Field. I delayed my MINBC shift

1017
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: for hours just to go and watch the grand pitch

1018
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: of City Field one more time so he might never

1019
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: get that chance again. And we were in the ballpark early.

1020
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: A lot of people were not in the ballpark early.

1021
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: This was the first time, especially this series, this was

1022
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: the first time it felt like all season where City

1023
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: not that it wasn't rocking. So the people where they're

1024
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: still brought the heat, but wasn't packed in like it

1025
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: had been this entire season. And it's not difficult to

1026
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: realize why that is. But at the same time, the

1027
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: stadium wasn't very full. Jacob de Grom, like clockwork, like

1028
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: he always used to do, goes to the outfield six forty five,

1029
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes before first pitch, and he starts to

1030
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: throw his his like his he starts to kind of

1031
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: like tighten up his mechanics, throw like not long toss,

1032
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: medium toss, but some philosophy, some zip in the outfield.

1033
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: In that moment at six forty five, the Mets played

1034
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: simple Man and play the tribute to de Gram on

1035
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: the thing they showed them on. So they show them

1036
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: on the thing he gave a hat tip and that

1037
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: was what happened six forty five. Yeah, they played the

1038
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: tribute video, which the right time to play it, right

1039
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: before the game, like that perfect great time to play

1040
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: the tribute video where I get upset, where James gets upset,

1041
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: and where you guys are gonna get upset at us

1042
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: in the comment section because boyle boy, did I see

1043
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: it on Twitter?

1044
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: Got crushed was.

1045
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: I thought it was super lame that Jake de Grom

1046
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: did not get to walk out onto the mound to

1047
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: warm up in the first scene to simple Man. I

1048
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: thought that was super super lame, especially with the context

1049
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: that when Matt Harvey came back for the Orioles he

1050
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: had his stuff.

1051
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: Harrison.

1052
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, when Harrison Bader had an at bat on the

1053
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: Phillies against US, they played a Bay Bay, which was

1054
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: his walk up song. They played simple Man before the game.

1055
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: James he played at six forty five. Everybody was there

1056
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: and ready. You know what it is. Maybe this is

1057
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: me being selfish and wanted to live as a Jig

1058
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: de Gram fan one more time on city field, and

1059
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to see fucking simple Man. I think so too,

1060
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: And again we boll tweeted this out because I love

1061
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: Keith when when when Jake de Gram started running out

1062
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: of the mound, I think they expected that, and then

1063
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden ca yeah, the DJ playing like

1064
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: boping music, like the part of the time music. At

1065
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: the same time, we just went down six to nothing

1066
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: in the first inning. We're fucking shell shocked. And that's

1067
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: the other thing too, is that it was a combination

1068
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: of the horrible, horrible start of the game. Maybe the

1069
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: Mets had a plan to do it, and because they

1070
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: went down six nothing, maybe they were like, fuck, that

1071
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: feels bad.

1072
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. More reason, in my opinion,

1073
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: to do it.

1074
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Give me something to forget about what just happened. Let

1075
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: me appreciate Jake de Gram watch that game. Also, like

1076
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 1: there's music playing. Jacob de Gram is warming up to music.

1077
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: It's not like it's silent. It's not like they're doing

1078
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: trivia in between the first inning. Instead, I had to

1079
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: hear and I this is not a shot at whoever's DJing.

1080
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: That's a cool opportunity for them, Oh, happy for them,

1081
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: But we have to listen to whatever fucking DJ is

1082
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: playing in the first inning, and it's like a mash

1083
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 1: up between like Abba and Chapel Roone.

1084
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 2: And then also they're throwing in like Lil Wayne, and.

1085
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: You're like the Chainsmokers, like it's pop, it's like pop

1086
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: DJ music, and it's it's it's safe ballpark music.

1087
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: And I think there's a time and place for it.

1088
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: But I'd much rather just just see simple Man give

1089
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: Jacob de gramm Is one more time. I'm not saying

1090
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: to do it in the second inning, the third and

1091
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: the fourth thing, and the fifth inning the next time

1092
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: he's here.

1093
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: I just wanted one more time.

1094
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: It was his first time back, and for one of

1095
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: the greatest players in this franchise history, I think he

1096
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: deserved much more than he got. I agree with you

1097
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: how we said it. During the seventh or eighth ending

1098
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: of the game. He was saying that he was a

1099
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,479
Speaker 1: little bit surprised that Jake didn't get more, And again

1100
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: I think ask and why I was expecting something because

1101
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: they stuck through a commercial break and had a camera

1102
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: on to ground warming up right behind him, just like

1103
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: they used to do when he pitched, and you would

1104
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: hear simple Man on the broadcast because that was something

1105
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: that was so relevant that they are Mets Baseball again.

1106
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: A lot of people were kind of freaking out about

1107
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: that on Twitter. We both got rep for some reason irated.

1108
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: I think that people get butt hurt when players leave

1109
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: their teams, even even though we know that Jacob Mgraham

1110
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: got a much better offer and we're happy that he

1111
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: got the offer that like was apparently on the table

1112
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: for the Mets, right, was around one hundred and twenty

1113
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: million dollars for like either.

1114
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 2: Three or four years. Was four something like that? One

1115
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty million dollars total?

1116
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: Right, he got one hundred and eighty from the Texas Rangers.

1117
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 1: Sixty million dollars more. Right there, that's a fifty percent increase.

1118
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: What if I went into your job without taxes, that's

1119
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: that's just borderline base numbers, not having to think about anything,

1120
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: run any calculations. Wouldn't you like to get paid fifty

1121
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: percent more for the work that you're doing every single day?

1122
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: I would? And when that fifty percent is sixty million dollars,

1123
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'll pitch for the Yankees. I'll do whatever

1124
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: you want. Sixty mil is such a big difference. I

1125
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: think like the narrative that Jake didn't want to be here,

1126
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: I think that too much. Wfan listening that's just not

1127
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be here. It's untrue. It's untrue.

1128
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: He's never once said that these are all people hypothesizing

1129
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: as they the same fucking idiots who hypothesize that Wan

1130
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: Soto hates being a Met and doesn't like being here

1131
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: and isn't having fun. It's having the best season, arguably

1132
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: of his career. I hate when like these narratives come

1133
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: from nothing, from sure conjecture, And that's what seems like.

1134
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: Happy with Jacob de Gram and how Mets fans treat

1135
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: him now and listening to Jacob de Gram after the game,

1136
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: he said he was so nervous to come back and

1137
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: pitch a city field. He felt like he wanted to

1138
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: throw up, Like this was a big moment for him,

1139
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: like he and again like there definitely was some things

1140
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: that happened internally with de Gram and the Mets that

1141
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: probably could have slightly pushed him out the door. But

1142
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: if they offered them more money, I think one hundred

1143
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: percent chance he was stayed. It was just a money thing.

1144
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: At the same time, I think we're all pretty okay.

1145
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: With not giving Jacob Grimm that contract.

1146
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: Then that moment, Jake, this is Jacob Gram's first full

1147
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: season in six years.

1148
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, my heart hurts.

1149
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: I wish he was here forever, and I wish he

1150
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: was ours and he never had to put on another jersey.

1151
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: But would would that have been a good contract for

1152
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: the Mets to give out? Probably not we I'll be honest.

1153
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: It probably would have made an impact of how likely

1154
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: we were to get Wan Sodo.

1155
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: So like, who do I want Wan Soda?

1156
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: Right now? We're Jacob de Gram. I think we know

1157
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: where I'm going there. So again I think that some

1158
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: people were a bit I also like again, people had

1159
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: the point of he's a competitor. I would want our

1160
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: opt to feel comfortable, like you're being a little bit

1161
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: too ridiculous.

1162
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: Right now, Like yeah, again the fact.

1163
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: And also if the Mets didn't give other people their music,

1164
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: I would have been okay with that too, like one

1165
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: hundred percent. If Harrison Bayer didn't get his walk up song,

1166
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: people look, oh it's different for Hitter for his picture.

1167
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 2: I guess it is a little bit.

1168
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: The one thing I will hear is that we might

1169
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: have asked it because we were really losing six nothing.

1170
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: If you John Tongs won you three first ending and

1171
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: you play simple man, that that might have actually been

1172
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: on the table.

1173
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:24,479
Speaker 2: I'd love to know what, but then.

1174
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: People would also get pissed, and it's a close game.

1175
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: You can't play that shit.

1176
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 2: I was own.

1177
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: I would love to have been there for those production

1178
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: meetings when they were talking about about because it was

1179
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: definitely something that was that that came up.

1180
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was considered.

1181
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: We know the people that work there. They're smart people

1182
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: like they're really good at their jobs. So that's why

1183
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: it was even so shocking that this isn't something that happened,

1184
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: especially because we know that in like views, impressions, all

1185
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff is so big in the social

1186
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: media space and how organizations and companies work. This was

1187
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: the freeest, freest impressions of all time a Jaca grom

1188
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: simple man, whalle but six nothing might have definitely hurt that.

1189
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: That's the one thing I would have sear that, But

1190
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: also that's probably what happened. That probably is what happens.

1191
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: That is probably it's funny to look back at. Again,

1192
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: we were just a little emotional, and again by not

1193
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: playing it, they did win the public perception because most people,

1194
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: it seems like, didn't actually want to hear the or

1195
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: even expect at all we happened. People are upset, you

1196
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: know me, you, Keith Hernandez, Howie Rose, MAT's Matt Rushmore

1197
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: right there. We happened to be in we happened in

1198
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: the minority expecting it to happen. And I think that

1199
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: maybe that's our fault for being a little bit nostalgic

1200
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: about something like this. But oh, I mean you gott

1201
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: We talked about a last episode. I was like, I

1202
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear Simple Man with him warming up.

1203
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: It didn't happen, and I felt like I was robbed

1204
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: of a moment that I will never get.

1205
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 2: I'll never get it again.

1206
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not going to fucking global A Field

1207
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: to watch it warm up to Simple Man. I want

1208
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: to see it at goddamn city Field. No, it just

1209
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: felt like that he for how he for how important

1210
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: he was this franchise for all those years, for how

1211
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: for how much he accomplished, Like it did feel like

1212
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: it was a little bit lacking by the end of it.

1213
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: On the flip side here, I don't know about your replies,

1214
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,479
Speaker 1: but a lot of my replies were like, this team's

1215
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 1: down six nothing, why don't you complain this much about

1216
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: the team on the field. I'm like, have you not

1217
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: listened to Eddything or seed Ednything that either of us

1218
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 1: have said. I'm like, I don't know why two things

1219
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: can't be true? Why could I not be pissed that

1220
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: Jacob de Groom didn't get to walk out the simple man?

1221
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: And also still think the team stinks right now? Everyone's like, what,

1222
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: you're not complaining about the team's performance.

1223
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: Sorry, man, So I don't want to.

1224
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: Be talked about getting her teeth kicked in again for

1225
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: the fucking sixth straight game. Ye know, my most people

1226
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: people call tell me I'm a loser because I wanted to.

1227
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 1: I want the opposing pictures. Whe of my favorite players

1228
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: ever get his song because he's a franchise icon, the

1229
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: same thing that again, all the Mets announcers were a

1230
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,959
Speaker 1: little bit surprised by so Gram even had a comment

1231
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 1: after the game about how cool would if his number

1232
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: ever got retired here like he loves better, they should,

1233
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: he should, his numbers should be retired. As New York

1234
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: met fifty to fifty, I think, no, ring it's a

1235
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty.

1236
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: He won three so young I would like.

1237
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: It to be, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't,

1238
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: but I has to be it just it felt. It

1239
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: felt weird to me, how much hate there was for

1240
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: him in my replies. I was, I was truthfully shocked

1241
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: by it. If you are a Jacob de Grim hate,

1242
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: you are a weird, oh Mets fan. I have no

1243
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: other way to say, you are fucking weird. No sympathy whatsoever.

1244
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: I think that's the end of the media Marvel again.

1245
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: That's choose your on Evntion, Media Marvel. You can eat

1246
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: a mediaval Mark and I or the Mets. I want

1247
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to someone who replied twenty

1248
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: your tweets, Kurt, Remember you sent me that tweet about

1249
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: wan Soto because the conversation about Wansta doesn't hit big

1250
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: home runs Wan Sodo, It's never clutch a guy by

1251
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: the name of Kurt, He's all over the Mets, the

1252
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: Mets media world. And I replies, Yeah, Kurt won one,

1253
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 1: two four. So he went through and compared wan Soto's

1254
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: numbers to two different points in the game. So his

1255
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: first tweet. Most of Somodo's home runs are in garbage time.

1256
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: Let's check forty home runs he's hit ten in a

1257
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: tie game this year, seven in a one run spread

1258
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: eight and a two run spread five and a three

1259
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: run spread five and a four run spread five and

1260
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: a five plus run spread.

1261
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 2: He goes, so he breaks it down even more.

1262
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: He's like, basically thirty five of his forty home runs

1263
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: have been in close games, and yet people want to

1264
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 1: pretend like he doesn't hit them big. I think it's

1265
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 1: super undervalue two at times when the team's up three,

1266
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: up four, to get that extra home run, get another

1267
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: run on the board, get another two. That's huge because

1268
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: her run Saturday was massive to extend that lead from

1269
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: one thing two nothing. And then Kurt one more tweet

1270
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: in response to this, he took every for the home

1271
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: run hit there in baseball this season, and he said,

1272
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: how many of their home runs have been hit when

1273
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: there was at least a five run difference in the

1274
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: score of that current game. So Aaron judge of his

1275
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: forty seven homers, eleven of them with at least a

1276
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 1: five run game read the direction. Eight for Schwarber, eight

1277
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: for Otani, eight for cal Rowley, eight for Junior Caminero,

1278
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: six for a Reno Suarez, only five for one.

1279
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: So though he doesn't hit big home runs James.

1280
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: People will always vilify one So because of how much

1281
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: money he makes. I think people always hate him for that,

1282
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: just because he's It's hard for people to rationalize that

1283
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: one Solo is better at baseball than probably most of

1284
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: us listening are right anything that we do, like Wan

1285
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: Solo's better at baseball, I think then I am at

1286
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: like breathing and walking.

1287
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure, right.

1288
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: I think I think maybe the only thing I could

1289
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: be better at than Juan Soto.

1290
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 6: Is like.

1291
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 2: YouTube titles and thumbnails not he's.

1292
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: Better at baseball than I am at that. I've I

1293
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: got Twitter fifty thousand subscribers. I ain't shit, But like,

1294
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe, like having Crohn's disease, I might

1295
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: be better at that than him playing baseball because I

1296
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: physically can't do anything about it.

1297
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: He's again, the.

1298
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: Money will always be the thing with so Though, where

1299
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: the money's the least important thing ever in the conversations

1300
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: about Wan so Though, it's couldn't care less. It's a

1301
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: miracle he's on this team, happy is here, and it's

1302
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: just as you start to close this out, one more

1303
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: conversation's gotta happen. We finally got the official announcement that

1304
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: seanm and I is moving to the bullpen yes on Tuesday.

1305
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: The plan as of right now is he's going to

1306
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: piggyback off of Clay Holmes and so happy that's finally happened.

1307
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know why it took till September fourteenth for

1308
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: this to happen when we knew. We should have known

1309
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: when seaman I's first appearance went so well when he

1310
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: piggybacked off of code I right or Clay Holmes, which

1311
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: one was that it was off of Clay Holmes.

1312
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 2: Coded I pissed that Friday.

1313
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: You're right, so off of Clay Holmes. We should have

1314
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: known that that should have been the recipe the entire season.

1315
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: They both looked great in their smaller stints bass to

1316
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: the wall for seventy pitches. I'm really excited to see

1317
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: what this looks like because the only time that we've

1318
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: seen it it looked fantastic. Yeah, literally, and I think

1319
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: that it could help him mentally, maybe help him with

1320
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: the warm up, maybe just there has to just be

1321
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: something that has to change with the way he's been pitching.

1322
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: And say, mccle holmes, if you tell those guys. You

1323
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: guys together, get me seven innings. That's really cool. Maybe

1324
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: someone gets you so you can wind up getting eight.

1325
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: Like it's that's That's the other part of this too

1326
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: that I think people kind of forget about is like

1327
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: you hear that they're gonna piggy back each other, and

1328
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: you're like, well, they still have to go five each, right,

1329
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: even though that's all ten. But that's probably what people's

1330
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: head goes to. These guys combined for six, we're cooking. Wow,

1331
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: well Warren just gave up six runs in the first inning. Wow,

1332
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: what a shame. That swung a full fantasy game in

1333
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: our redraft league. But that I again, we're in a

1334
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: spot in the season where now we have to get creative,

1335
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: Like we have off days next couple of weeks. We

1336
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: know we google the five man rotation, which is what

1337
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: spurned this changed to happen. If someone doesn't have it

1338
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: two three innings, get him out of a game, get

1339
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: him out a game, get him at a game figured out.

1340
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: Like I was even thinking with Joanatong, why can you

1341
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: come back and pitch and relief? I was thinking that

1342
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: for a Tuesday when like you know what I mean,

1343
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: Like it's you kind of have to start thinking about

1344
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: this in much looser and broader terms than we have

1345
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: because the playoffs have to be gotten for the Mets.

1346
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that, Like, this is. This is

1347
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs right now, this is this is the to

1348
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: get to the wild Card round.

1349
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: And if anybody thinks that.

1350
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: These games aren't or shouldn't be treated lake playoff games, again,

1351
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 1: your season might be over in a couple of weeks.

1352
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: So these are our playoff games right now. We have

1353
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: two off days left this year, so we have Monday,

1354
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: so today, when day next two mondays, all hands on deck.

1355
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: It's all hands on deck the rest of the season.

1356
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: And from a lineup perspective, it's got to be the

1357
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: best lineup every single game has to be Brett Baity

1358
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: has to be playing pretty much every single day, I think,

1359
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: in my opinion totally. I also don't know the next

1360
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: We don't face a lefty until Mitchell Parker on Sunday,

1361
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: so we got a nice brighty weeks. We'll actually get

1362
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: Bret Baty line up every single days. Nice go ahead,

1363
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: give us our give us our little Padres series preview year,

1364
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: starting the series off on Tuesday, Hispanic heritage to day.

1365
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: Nice love that.

1366
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: So Tuesday TBS game, but also I'm sure, so why

1367
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: we'll still have it Holmes with the piggyback Sean and

1368
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: I against Michael King Wednesday seven to ten David Peterson

1369
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: versus Nick Pavetta, and then Thursday afternoon one o'clock Mattinee

1370
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: Joonatong versus Randy Vasquez. Okay, so James, you're gonna have

1371
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: to tell the people the Mets didn't hit this weekend.

1372
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: So we got we got to get some pitching breakdowns.

1373
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: Michael King, Nick Povetta, Randy Vasquez, take us one by one?

1374
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 2: What do you got on him?

1375
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,959
Speaker 1: All right? So Michael King, Michael He's been battling crazy

1376
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: injuries all season. He had an elbow and then he

1377
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: just had a knee or a groan or something, and

1378
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: he's missed time. He's come back and he hasn't been sharp.

1379
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: So oftentimes, if I was doing a Michael King breakdown,

1380
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: I would be telling you that the number one thing

1381
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: that Michael King is the best at, better than most

1382
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: other guys in the league, is command. He attacks the

1383
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: strike zone in in strange ways ways the other right

1384
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: handed pitchers can't attack his own like he's so good

1385
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: at the front hip two seam or sinker against the lefties.

1386
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 2: He's exceptional at that.

1387
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: He's really good at using a change up that runs

1388
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: away from righty's like he's runs into the righties, like

1389
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: he can use these pitches in different ways because his

1390
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: command's often so good. But being in and out this much,

1391
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: dealing with these injuries. He's made two starts since May twentieth,

1392
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: he hasn't had that command in those two stars that

1393
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: have come back. The last one he made against the Reds,

1394
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: he was a littlebell over the place that sinker that

1395
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: he was trying to that two seamen. He was trying

1396
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: to front hip on the lefties oftentimes to bled over

1397
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: the heart of the plate. So why would be telling

1398
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: these guys if you see something hard, you gotta swing

1399
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 1: at it like this is knowing that stuff, knowing where

1400
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: Michael King's at right now, knowing how much he still

1401
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: avoids walks down when he stays running strike zone, especially

1402
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: the lefties, the uber uber aggressive on him because he's

1403
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: going to use that change up as basically a slider

1404
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: against them to run away from them. Because he has

1405
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: so much horse he'll to break on it. He's going

1406
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: to try and pepper sinkers inside to you look like

1407
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna come at you. Just be ready to take

1408
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: that hack. Like there's going to be a big a

1409
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: couple of big two seamers that Solo's going to get that.

1410
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: They're going to start a little bit in it, but

1411
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: not in enough, and they're going to bleed to the

1412
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 1: middle of the plate and he's going to be taking

1413
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: monstrous war hacks against them.

1414
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 2: Also a little bit of a revenge game mon soo

1415
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: former Padre. Also mon So Michael King credit for each other.

1416
00:54:56,040 --> 00:55:01,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Randy Vasquez, Wow, Yeah, that's crazy. Big parts

1417
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: of the ones on the trade and then we just

1418
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: played Kyle got you Okay this weekend, all the ones

1419
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: on the trade happening once here. But Paveda is the

1420
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: one who's gonna be interesting because Pavetta has been a

1421
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: hoss this year. He's like quietly become one of the

1422
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: most underrated pitchers in all of baseball. If he wasn't

1423
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: a Padre this season, I don't even know where they'd be.

1424
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: He's been the only guy that started like every fifth

1425
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: day for them, besides sees pass sucks. He's been the

1426
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: worst pitches in baseball. Testically like he's outrageously good. I

1427
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: have to interrupt you. Yeah, Jose Glacias, what kind of

1428
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 1: video and walk up song? This? He gets OMG right

1429
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: when he comes up to the plate. If Jose Glaciers

1430
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: gets OMG, I was gonna add so much more fuel

1431
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: to my fire about this STI ground situation.

1432
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: I think he does get OMG for sure, why not?

1433
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 2: And he should him cool with it?

1434
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: He should.

1435
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 2: That's also the side I want to be on.

1436
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: But I was looking at the roster and I forgot

1437
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: for a second that Jose Glasias was on this team,

1438
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: just for a quick second, because you were talking so

1439
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 1: much pitching. And if you're watching on YouTube, you will

1440
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: see my meaner change. I was like, oh shit, I

1441
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna go crazy. I thought you were

1442
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: gonna call me out for not knowing that derated means again.

1443
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: But if I just called Nick Vetta, guys in baseball, Nick.

1444
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 2: Povetta is one of the most underrated pittchers in baseball.

1445
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: It's very good.

1446
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: I've been hearing you talk about him literally since we

1447
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: ever lived together back in twenty twenty, so.

1448
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 2: I have even been before that.

1449
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: But he's Nick Vetta has he's good. I mean, that's

1450
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: also the fun thing about pitching. You just break out

1451
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: at thirty two, like you just kind of have him. Yeah, right,

1452
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: granky took a while, But it's gonna be funny too

1453
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: because all the same people that got met at us

1454
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 1: for wanting more to Gram are going to be so happy.

1455
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 2: And Glacies gets his song so pumped. That's gonna enragements.

1456
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: You want to know why, because we didn't want him.

1457
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: He wanted to be here. We didn't want him. De

1458
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: Gram didn't want to be here, James, you didn't under

1459
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: don't don't look at how much he got paid by

1460
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: the Rangers. He didn't want to be here. Don't look

1461
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: at it. So he's now talking about Pavetta, how to

1462
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: prepare for him. He's another guy stays around his on

1463
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: a lot, very low walker in. Nick Pavetta is Padrick's pictuer.

1464
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: Besides me, Vasquez walks the world. We'll talk abou him

1465
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: in a second. Pavetta will just he'll be throwing a

1466
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: lot of high fastballs. Paveetic gets up a lot of

1467
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: fly balls. The way to beat Nick Pavetta is home runs.

1468
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: So I'll say this. You guys are gonna hate this,

1469
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: that it's a daddy hack game when anytime you get

1470
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: picture of Nick Pavetta, you just out of try and

1471
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: fucking kill it. Like as right, these lefties don't matter.

1472
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: Hopefully the wind's blowing out that night, Like that's the

1473
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: game where you win. You beat Nick Poveda with home runs.

1474
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: That's been the absolute Bugaboo's entire career. That's what held

1475
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: him back when he kind of before he became this guy.

1476
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: It was the command as well, mostly too, but also

1477
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: when the pitches were in the zone, they were hit

1478
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: hard because he's got that great cut right fastball. It

1479
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: lives the top of the zone. It's a good pitch

1480
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: to get under. If you get enough barrel on that,

1481
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna go a long way.

1482
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 2: Electric. Now give us Randy Vasquez before we start talking

1483
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 2: about the hitting.

1484
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: How a would you give Randy Vasquez? You this one

1485
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: of your favorite guys in the whole league. Yeah, but see,

1486
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: I can't give a real scouting report because all I'm

1487
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna say is this guy's got nothing, jump all over

1488
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: his ass and be paid.

1489
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: This is the guy to be patient.

1490
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, let him get behind in the count because he's

1491
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: going to because he walks the world. He doesn't get

1492
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: any strikeouts, no swing and missing. Randy Vasquez a game whatsoever,

1493
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: throws like ninety poo. Again, he doesn't throw very hard.

1494
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: It's a lot of junk. It's a lot of nonsense.

1495
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: Let him get behind and then fucking jump all over

1496
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: him because he is not good. I see a lot

1497
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: of luck metrics to go around Fantasy Baseball Twitter. He's

1498
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: been one of the luckiest pitchers baseball this year. Him

1499
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: and Trevor Rodgers, which are funny, Gause Andrew Rabbits some

1500
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: of the luckiest guys in the league. But yeah, Vascaz.

1501
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: He lets you put the ball in play. He does.

1502
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: He tries not to let you barrel it, but you

1503
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: still will be able to barrel it. He doesn't strike

1504
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 1: anybody out. He allows tons of hard contact. The one

1505
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,919
Speaker 1: thing that he can do, and I give him credit

1506
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: for this, is he can mix a lot of pitches

1507
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: you don't really know what's coming at you, especially against

1508
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: the lefties. He uses the color and fastball off of

1509
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 1: each other. He makes him ton a Mets, Yeah, the Mets.

1510
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: But again he'll make He'll tunnel that fastball in color

1511
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: and make you make a decision on that pitch. He'll

1512
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: barely miss. It's gonna piss you off, but that's kind

1513
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: of how it goes. And then the curve ball is

1514
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: also it's it's toleer ball's fine. Same with the changeup,

1515
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: like it's enough. He mixes enough pitches to make you

1516
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: guess two times around the Padres get him out of there.

1517
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 2: But that's kind of thing.

1518
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: Brandy Vasquez waight though, just wait, he doesn't even get

1519
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: He gets no ground balls, He has no extension.

1520
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 2: He thinks the most barrels in the league.

1521
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: He has the worst whift rate, the second percentile k rate,

1522
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty eighth percent. Tyle walkerate, I've never seen so much

1523
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: blue on a guy who's gonna throw one hundred and

1524
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: fifty innings this year at the major league level.

1525
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

1526
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: One hundred things with three seven yards a right eer

1527
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: a baby ye a podcast a podcast. I was saying,

1528
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: he for the Padres. He's been very functional this season.

1529
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: Next stops playing in that ballpark too, But yeah, that's

1530
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: a big thing.

1531
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 2: Paveta as well.

1532
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: It's a home it's a ballpark supressed home run. So

1533
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: he feels not a great hitters ballpark needed, but it's

1534
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to hit home runs. So it's

1535
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: you gotta with Vasquez.

1536
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 2: You just can't.

1537
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: Really, I would even say it, don't get frustrated because

1538
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: if you just if you just barely miss one, don't

1539
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: let that get in your head. I thought, I thought

1540
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: I saw the Mets get very frustrated against Corbyn. He

1541
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: ate up some of the hitters alive, like he really

1542
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: had Alvarez in a blender, just throwing that little fucking

1543
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: amazing sweeper down below the zone. But with Vasquez, like

1544
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: he will be around the zone enough, but he'll also

1545
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: walk if you let him do that. Just don't stay

1546
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: within yourself. Don't get pissed off of Randy Vascus. He's

1547
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 1: the guy I'm fining to play single ball against Randy

1548
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: Vasquez for sure.

1549
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 2: The other football and play paveda daddy hacks.

1550
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that good scouting report Curtsey of James Chiano.

1551
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: The bullpen's nasty, so we gotta get a lead. Yeah,

1552
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: gotta get a lead against this before the bullpen comes in,

1553
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: because if they have a lead, we're we're probably losing

1554
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: the skate. Sorry you transition to me mid sith No,

1555
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: but it's they're unbelievable. They got two guys in Bolvean

1556
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: throw over a hundred miles an hour, Robert Suarez and

1557
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Mason Miller.

1558
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Mason Miller's obscene.

1559
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: He's insane. They sold the farm to get him. Usually

1560
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: don't sell the farmer. Jeremiah Shrotter right, and Jeremyshrad throws

1561
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: one hundred two. Andrew Marholmes was ninety six from the

1562
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: left side, like in terms of left he's like he's

1563
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: absolutely lights out, like he's a I clicked the Dodgers

1564
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: roster rehoorse and said, damn fangrass. But the Yuki Matt Suey, Yeah,

1565
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know his deal, he's like got the

1566
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Padres hostage. No, they like send him down. There's like

1567
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: there's like crazy contract stipulations if he ever gets sent

1568
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: down where he just gets a funck ton of money.

1569
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 2: I kind of love that.

1570
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: They also have a couple of funny Yankee relievers from Yesteryear,

1571
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Ron Marinaccio and Magic Quanzi Peralta.

1572
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: Which is fun baseball. Yeah, this is that that back

1573
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 2: into the bullpen.

1574
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: The one guy who has been susceptible though, and has

1575
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: happened two years in a row is Robert Suarez. Robert Suarez,

1576
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: he's old, he's almost thirty five already, and he throws

1577
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: a hundred, so but he keeps running out of gas

1578
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,439
Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. So I wonder. It's

1579
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: just I'm dying for the Mess to have that ninth

1580
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: and the comeback, and it's gonna happen at some point.

1581
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: It literally has to happen that it can't let this

1582
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: not happen as much as it has not happened.

1583
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 2: So I'm just ready.

1584
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: But also if we don't get one and we went

1585
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: out the rest of the year because we didn't have

1586
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: to come back in the ninth thing, it's really really

1587
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: cool with that. If that's how we miss it because

1588
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: we don't go down in the ninth ever, again, I'm

1589
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: cool with that as well. The big thing, too, is

1590
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: to talk about is that the offense for the Padres

1591
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: is really good. They have a great lineup now. They've

1592
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: improved a lot since we last played them, adding Ryan O'Hearn,

1593
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: adding Ramon Loriano, even Freddie forer Meen, who is not

1594
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: a great hitter by any stretch, of the imagination is

1595
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: significantly better than Martin Maldonado or Earlis Diaz. So they've

1596
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: gotten better. And Jackson Merrill's healthy, He's gone on a

1597
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a power surge. I think he's hit

1598
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: like three home runs in the last week. Tatis is

1599
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: a good Ballplayerto. He's also finally found a power search

1600
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Child was also great future.

1601
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:50,919
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer.

1602
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Like it's good, there's a good team. It's a very

1603
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: good team, very good team. Drake Cronin wore. It's like

1604
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: a little just fucking baseball rat Like we're going to

1605
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: see Jose Gleisias and then you're going to see this

1606
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: weird bench they have of a kind of a lot

1607
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: of nonsense of Mason McCoy, Will Wagner, Bryce Johnson, all

1608
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: of them just are contact guys. They put the ball

1609
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: in play and you will have a pretty annoying at

1610
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: that definitely meant on base in this series against one

1611
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: of those guys for like Riegerrett or something. One game

1612
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: at a time, Let's win Tuesday. I'm not even gonna

1613
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: consider what the outcome needs to be on Wednesday. Besides win,

1614
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean win every game. Win every game in the

1615
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:21,959
Speaker 1: rest of the season. If I'll tell you this, guys,

1616
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,919
Speaker 1: if the Mets win out, they're making the postseason. So

1617
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: let's just let's just win every game the rest of

1618
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: the year and we don't have to worry about this

1619
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: nonsense with the wildcard. But shout out to the Giants

1620
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: and Reds for losing on Sunday that was so big

1621
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: massive again like this is this is Rob Manford's basterization

1622
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: of the game.

1623
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: We love Like this Mets team.

1624
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Sucks, not deserve to be in the playoffs. None of

1625
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: these teams deserves to make the playoffs, and one of

1626
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: them will be, So I just I still hope that's us.

1627
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: That's the other thing this is there's a subsection of

1628
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: this fan base that always in my replies like we

1629
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: don't deserve to make the playoffs. I don't want to

1630
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: go fuck that. What do you mean you don't want

1631
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: this is a sport. We want to make the Playoffs's

1632
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: how it?

1633
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 2: Will you go? Move to England if you don't want

1634
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: someone to make the playoffs. I was a little disappointed.

1635
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Love Evan Roberts, but he was talking about how he

1636
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: bet he made the bet that the Mets won't make

1637
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: the play off, So I'm like, I don't really really

1638
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: like that. That's bad vibes. Mets can't have that. Don't

1639
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: do that, don't be that Met fan. Root for the playoffs.

1640
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: We got Frankie Pepper is a ready Yeah, Frankie Pepper,

1641
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: send us out.

1642
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 6: Just how you're doing. I guess those one win is fine.

1643
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: I was at a wedding.

1644
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 6: He wasn't paying much attention.

1645
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: But maybe maybe maybe.

1646
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 6: I'll I'll let myself live in a world where it's

1647
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 6: this is the game that's gonna turn him around. If

1648
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 6: I don't believe that, then what's the point, right, this

1649
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 6: is the game that's gonna turn him around.

1650
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Uh?

1651
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 2: I hope we'll see.

1652
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 6: I was at a wedding this weekend. That was I

1653
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 6: was thinking of you boys. I was talking about you

1654
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 6: boys to us some wedding guests, and they said, who

1655
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 6: are those people that they don't listen to podcasts and

1656
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 6: they're not Mets fans. So it's not even like a

1657
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 6: knock on you boys. It's just talking to people about them.

1658
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 6: That's well. I hope this recording Cashee at time. I

1659
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 6: know that you're probably almost done, so you might hear

1660
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 6: this almost in real time. If you able to listen

1661
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 6: to that, still talk to these shoe boys. Let's go Mets,

1662
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 6: and I guess just keep them men. I'm going.

1663
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Please Frankie Peppers doesn't laugh, doesn't miss Franki Peppers. You

1664
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: got anything else you want to talk about.

1665
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 2: James, No, I'm ready to go. This team just gotta

1666
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 2: look like a ball.

1667
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: If you can win two out through in the Padres,

1668
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I'll be all the way back in sure. And I

1669
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: honestly just went on Tuesday right now, win Tuesday when Tuesday.

1670
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 2: I hope the Mets are thinking that same way.

1671
