1
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: Sweep sweep Phillies, no wins at City Field in almost

2
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: a full calendar year. The Mets own that ass. They

3
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: own that ass in City Field. The Phillies got nothing,

4
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: and they absolutely beat the piss out of them mentally, physically, emotionally.

5
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: It's back. The NLES is back on. We got four

6
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: games against the Phillies. Next week. We got this Marlin

7
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: series coming up. Keep playing good baseball and wild card

8
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: is not enough. We can go out and get that

9
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: NLES from the Phillies, which is that's That's where I've

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: got my eyeset on. I am so one hundred and

11
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: seventy five percent back in on this team. They showed up.

12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: This series absolutely dominated the Phillies and it was phenomenal

13
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: start to finish with the little Ryan Helsley drama in between,

14
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: but everything else was awesome. This years we're going to

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: talk about it as always was in the ballpark for

16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: all three games. Couldn't miss us. Must watch baseball, You

26
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: fucking electric.

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: Right incredible. I was upset just to not even be

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: there on Wednesday, but being able to watch the Nolan

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: McLean dominance and mastery from the beautiful view of television,

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: listening to Gary, Keith and Ryland just pontificate about what

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 2: they're watching on the mound. This was a special series

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: by the Mets. We've been saying for the last few weeks,

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: as you guys have so eloquently told us in the

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: YouTube comments, that we go completely bipolar every single week

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: with the team, because how could we not, Like you've

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: seen this team play, but we said defiantly that we

37
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: need this team to show us that they were back,

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: they're ready, that they were had to kind of regain

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: our trust in a serious way. And these back to

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: back series against the Braves and the Phillies, especially the

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: way they just completely trounced this Phillies team in a

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: way to literally get them back in the NA least.

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Like you said at the top, like this is this

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: is the proof we needed and now it feels a

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: lot different as we're about to head into September.

46
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially shout out the Dodgers for helping us out

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: sweeping the Reds as well. So that's just like a

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: what a double positive for the Mets to gain three

49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: games on the Phillies, three games on the Reds. We

50
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: now set four and a half up on the National

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: League Wildcard for the last spot, and we're four back

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: of the Phillies. It is a great spot for the

53
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Mets to be. Could be better. Wish it was, they

54
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: had opportunities, But now we're here and they're playing good

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: baseball and start to finish. The hitting has been great,

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: the pitching has been great, runs the scoring position has

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: been great. The only complaint I literally have is Ryan Helsley.

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Otherwise everything else has been really good. Mendoza did a

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: great job managing this game as well, Like things just

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: feel like they're finally starting to click with this team again.

61
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: Very much starting to click and click in a big way.

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: And I do think again, you were at the ballparks,

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: you couldn't hear Gary, Keith and Ron a lot of

64
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: this resurgence. You can point directly to Nolan McLain. Yes,

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: oddly enough, as a rookie starting pitcher who's only been

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: on this team for eleven days now twelve days, and

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: you guys are listening to.

68
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: This, I would, honestly, I want to interject, I would

69
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: point a lot of this to Frankie Pepper's Bolognies because

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: we know the.

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: Bol is hot, the Bollignais is hot. Chat all you guys.

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: We've got like nine or ten Bolognier's pictures sent into us.

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Trust the Sauce. This is I think this is the shot.

74
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: If if we see it in the comments section or

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: you tweeted us, we'll make the Trust the Shot Sauce

76
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: shirts ready for the postseason.

77
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and again, if you guys want to know how

78
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: to make Bolonniers two episodes ago, we pinned it in

79
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: YouTube comments and it's pinned I think on Frankie Pepper's

80
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: Twitter right now, and if not, I'll send him a text,

81
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: so we pins it going forward for you guys. But

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: it's just it is night and day, like we It

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: was probably very annoying through those horrible months of June

84
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: July when we were talking about the hitting and the

85
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: run just scoring position stuff and kind of harping on

86
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: the Mets approach and being like, while it's not good

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: right now, there's no way it can stay this bad

88
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: for this long. And now we're at the point where

89
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: since July first, the Mets are the second best team

90
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: with their batting average runs the scoring position on the year,

91
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: on the entire season. Do you know where we're at

92
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: runnings the scoring position WRC plus wise.

93
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: In terms of I'm like, where we rank in the

94
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: league or what the number is We're both. I'm gonna

95
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: say the number is gonna be one oh three WRC

96
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: plus and I'm gonna say we are seventeenth in baseball.

97
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: It is one twelve. WHOA that was before the game

98
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, in the game where we went five for

99
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: eight runs scoring position.

100
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: So we and that's fourth.

101
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: So we might be well first, second, or third of

102
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: every team in baseball in the twenty twenty five season

103
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: with our WRC plus runs scoring position. And with that,

104
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: the batting average is up, the ops is up, like

105
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: we are all of the process things. Again, we're probably

106
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: so annoying to hear. We understand that put their hand

107
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: up for that. It's now just avalanched in a massive way,

108
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: and we seems like for a week straight we've gotten

109
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: almost every single timely hit.

110
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I

111
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: never doubted Eric Schavez and Jeremy Barnes. I knew that,

112
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: I knew that those were the guys that should be

113
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: in charge. Never doubt them for a second. I knew

114
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: Eric Chavez was right on Chavez was right, Barnes was right.

115
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: We always showed them the utmost respect on this show.

116
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just glad that we were on the right

117
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: side of history with that one.

118
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and again, to be tongue in cheek, I think

119
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: there were so many like tiny little moments in that bats,

120
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: in these games specifically, where you could feel like the

121
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: things that we've talked about the process come about in

122
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: a huge way. My favorite, if we just want to

123
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: talk about some of our favorite big hits from the series, Yeah,

124
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: the Pete Alonzo doubled to take the lead off of

125
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: Ryan Kirkering in the fifth inning of Tuesday's game. He

126
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: we were talking about like kind of lamenting the fact

127
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: that Kirkering was coming into face Alonzo because he's kind

128
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: of has his number in the past, and we know

129
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: he just has the nasty sweeper and the good sinker

130
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: of the work off that, and we kind of expected

131
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: Pete the way he's been going over the last two months,

132
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: basically the chase of sweeper, put himself in the hole

133
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: and kind of not have a good at bat again

134
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: with one out and a guy's scoring position. He gets

135
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: that really tough sweep for the first pitch, spits on

136
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: it an inch off the edge. Next pitch, you gets

137
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: the sinker on his hands and he just yanks it

138
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: right into the gap for a double. Ops Field for

139
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: a double. No, yeah, put in the left center gap

140
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: for a double and you take the lead on that

141
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: Citnyfield goes into a fucking raucus. And that was just

142
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: a moment where I was like, oh wow, that was

143
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: an executed plan that definitely someone came to the play

144
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: knowing what the pitcher's going to do them they do it,

145
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: you're ready for it, and then you attack it.

146
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: And I know the Mets got a lot of singles

147
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: in these moments too, but I do feel like the

148
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Mets were hitting the ball hard. It wasn't like trying

149
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: to just flick the ball to opposite field for a single.

150
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: I know we got a couple like Brett Baty did

151
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: kind of get lucky with that blue But sometimes we

152
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: need that. Sometimes you just have to have that that's baseball,

153
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: like we have been getting that against us so much.

154
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: So it's nicely that hit drive. But like I know

155
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: a lot of people are making fun of me because

156
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: Brandon imgg walk Off hit to left center field, but

157
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: he smoked the baseball. I just want you hitting the

158
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: ball hard. The reason we say pulled so much is

159
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: because you hit the ball harder. And you've heard Daniel

160
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Murphy on this podcast even talk about pull the ball

161
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: over the infielders. You only got one guy to beat.

162
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: You gotta beat that right field if you're a left

163
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: handed batter. So that's why we talk about it. But

164
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: if you hit the baseball hard, regardless of where you

165
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: hit it, you have a very good chance to get

166
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: a hit. It's the quality of contact, and the Mets

167
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: right now we're making high quality of contact.

168
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: And on the flip side of that, also continuing to

169
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: channel Murph, it's this idea that this team I think

170
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: has gotten a lot better recently at playing the scoreboard,

171
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: understanding situation, doing what you have to do. And I

172
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: oddly think a lot of that has kind of trickled

173
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: down from Starling Marte, who I just can't believe how

174
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: how good he's been, how good he's been, how important

175
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: he's been, how Lucy's.

176
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Kept every They never doubted my king. I loved it

177
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: when I loved when we signed him. And then I

178
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: let I let a little of you creep in, let

179
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of you, because you've been a little

180
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: anti Marte at times I have, I let it creep in.

181
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: I doubted my boy, and he proved me wrong. In

182
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: shout out Starling Marte, because this team is nowhere without

183
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: him this year, and I didn't think that was possible.

184
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: No, it's different. Ron Solo has some great quotes about

185
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: Marte after the game, about like how Lucy's kept the guys,

186
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: how much of a either he's been, how if anybody

187
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: has something to talk about, like Marte has been the

188
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: guy that kind of absorb all that, Like it's like,

189
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous how important he's been to this team. Another

190
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: huge hand up the out wrong goes. That was the

191
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 2: most wrong I've ever been by anything in my life,

192
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: private life, personal life, baseball life. It's not even close.

193
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: It's about how important Starling might today is to this team,

194
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: because I don't even know where they are without him.

195
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: He's just playing really good baseball, and hitting him three

196
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: to this day still feels bananas, but it's working. So

197
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: who cares? Like I don't care as long as things work.

198
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: Who gives a shit if it's the right way. Who

199
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: gives a shit if it's the proper way or the

200
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: analytical thinking way or whatever it is. Like Pete Alonso

201
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: clearly has to hit fourth. There's something mentally with Pete's

202
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: head where when he hits fourth he plays better because

203
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: when you hit starting Marte third, Pete fourth, he gets

204
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: four hits in the game.

205
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: And he also he also had a good game on Wednesday,

206
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: So hitting third like hit the hard a few times,

207
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 2: wasn't like the best game, wasn't like what he was

208
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: able to do on on Tuesday. But like it's just

209
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: it's the click right now with this lineup is the

210
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: thing that we've kind of just been waiting for and

211
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: oh somewhat hoping for the whole year. It's a good

212
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: lesson for all of us as sometimes you don't have

213
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: to see something to know it's actually possible. Because we

214
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: knew how good these guys were, and everything that they

215
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: said and we commented did feel like bullshit the whole time.

216
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: But at this point, like you kind of look back

217
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: and applaud the confidence these guys were able to maintain

218
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: in themselves that they didn't know that they had the

219
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: ability to like cause this avalanche at some point, and

220
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: now that it's here, if you can sustain this kind

221
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: of bats like I know that frisis Squealber's got hit

222
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: on the hand again by a pitch, waiting for confirmation

223
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: on that, But then we saw Jesse Winkern a rehab

224
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: game too, Like Mark Fiento's just absolutely plastering the ball,

225
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: especially against lefties. Bred Bay hitting well, brand Nemog giving

226
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: huge props to Baty after his walkoff him on Tuesday.

227
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: It's like, there's it's a deep, complete lineup right now,

228
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: more so in this felt at any point this season.

229
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: Shout out Mark Viento's He's been playing so well, I know, uh,

230
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: spot out shout out the intern for posting the picture

231
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: of Viento's with his lady friend. But like since he

232
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: got that lady friend, the guy's been on absolute fire.

233
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Now take that for what it is whatever. The confidence

234
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: that he currently has right now is exactly what we

235
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: saw last year and a weird thing that he's doing that.

236
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: Maybe this is just the version of Viento's and sometimes

237
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: this is a detriment to players we've seen guys in

238
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: the past. I'm not comparing Mark Viano's to Joe Vado

239
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: by any means, but we've seen Joey Vado at times

240
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: get way, way, way too passive to an extreme level.

241
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: Viento's is not walking at all. He's not walking at

242
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: all or striking out or striking out because he's putting

243
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: the ball in play. He's being aggressive on pitches in

244
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: the zone, he's attacking, he's taking really good at bats.

245
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: And maybe that's just the player he needs to be,

246
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: a guy who is going to be aggressive at the plate, swing,

247
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: make contact, put the ball in play. And I'm cool

248
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: with it because this version of Viento's is what we

249
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: saw last year. He's hitting the ball with authority. He's

250
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: pulling the baseball in the air, which we love to

251
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: see he's been hitting some bombs of home runs, and

252
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: when the pitches are on the outside part of the zone,

253
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: he's able to take it the other way to get

254
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: those hits deep into counts when he's behind.

255
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 2: I think that's the coolest thing about what he's done.

256
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: Seems like every single time he's gone one of these

257
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: big hits, he's gone with the pitch. It seems like

258
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: there's probably a lot of coaching that happened with Vanto's

259
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: and the things that we've been critical of him for

260
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: in the past. Again, not walking enough, striking out a

261
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: bit too much, needing to pull the baseball more. Sometimes

262
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: you kind of just have to be yourself. I think

263
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: that's the most important thing with coaching with athletes, with

264
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: people with everything in the world. And like that that

265
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: bat that he had against Taiwan Walker in the fifth

266
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: inning for that insurance run to make a four nothing.

267
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: That was I think one of like the bats that

268
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: really just should inspire us about what he could be

269
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: the rest of the season because he saw four pitches.

270
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: Now that bat two win the strike zone, two out

271
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 2: of the strike zone to two ata strike zone. He

272
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: did not swing the two win the strike zone. He

273
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: swung at in that sinker that he eventually hit directly

274
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: back through the box up the middle, that Tylan Walker

275
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: almost let break his hand on the way through.

276
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: Which was insane.

277
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: It's just he perfectly stuck with and went that pitch.

278
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: He had the great oposic field hit in the game

279
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: before he pulled the home run off the lefty late

280
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: in the game on Wednesday. Now he's a four hundred

281
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: batting average against lefties with seven extra base hits or

282
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: six extra base hits since August first, when the Lady

283
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 2: friend appeared on his Instagram story. It's just every single

284
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: little thing he's doing right in such a magnificent way

285
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: right now. And can I give you some Can I

286
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: give you some wsc pluses and ops's with runs to

287
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: score position for the Mets.

288
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: Sure, let me just chiming with a little Vento's thing,

289
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: by the way, because you guys know, I love to

290
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: look at where guys standing in the box. Bientto has

291
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: made an adjustment in the August There is an adjustment.

292
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: He's further back in the box that he's been this year.

293
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: He's closer to the plate, which is an interesting one.

294
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: Further back in the box closer to the plate. But

295
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: the big one is that he has made his feet

296
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: a lot closer together. Right now, he's not as wide

297
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: as he was. There's about an inch and a half difference.

298
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: And I will tell you, while the other ones might

299
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: are minuscule and maybe not something that's a true like

300
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: actual thought process of where he's standing in the box,

301
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: the difference between the distances in his feet is something.

302
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: There is clearly an adjustment that was made balance why

303
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: seeing the pitch whatever it is, And.

304
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great thing. I also wrote about Starling Marte

305
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: from NBC Sports in my weekly article on Tuesday. In

306
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: the past week, he's had his four hardest hit pulls

307
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: fly balls of this season. On three of those pole

308
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: fly balls, it was his three fastest swing on any

309
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: poll fly balls he's had this entire season, and his

310
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: bat speed has trended up. It was around seventy miles

311
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: per hour through April and May. He got up over

312
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: seventy two right before he heard his hamstring, and only

313
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: thirty swings in June, and then since She'll began it

314
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: was seventy one and a half and right now it's

315
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: about seventy two. And last year he was right there,

316
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: just a hair under seventy two miles prou on his batspeed.

317
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: So a Lotto two batspeed up as well. I'm talking

318
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: about Vantos oh, you said, Marte.

319
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm at Fianto's my ball on that. But that

320
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: is all that coming together. It's we're seeing a lot

321
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: of the similarities with the guy from last year. So

322
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: while we were very critical Vanto's and you guys have

323
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: really destroyed us on Twitter for being critical Fiano's, we're

324
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: seeing material change and he's falling to it. And now

325
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely ready to play him every single day because

326
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: he's y.

327
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: Listen, haters fuel people. Sometimes maybe we're inspired Mark Fiento's

328
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: to be like, fuck these guys, I'll show him. I'm

329
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: good still.

330
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give you some metsa ops's runs of

331
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: his scorn positions since July first.

332
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Ready for these, I'm ready for it.

333
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: So the two guys who are still kind of bringing

334
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: up the rear but still playing pretty well, Pee Alonzo

335
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: and Brandon Immo bal seven thirty one exactly heading into

336
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: the game on Wednesday, seven thirty one OT League average

337
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Francisco indoor A twelve Mark Fianto's eight thirteen, Brett Baty

338
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: eight nineteen, Juan so Though eight fifty. Could you guys

339
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: believe that? I can't believe that Wan so Though is

340
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: really go run the corp position. Can't believe how it's possible,

341
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: and then want to know the big one Starling Marte

342
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: a thousand with a three sixty batting average runs scoring

343
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: positions since July first.

344
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: It's uh, it helps, it helps a lot. This is

345
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: one of the few times where it's like batting average

346
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: with thrones in scoring position. It is important. It is important.

347
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: It's just it's important. It's important in the way that

348
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: the results wind up. It's not important about the way

349
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: that things could go in the future. And that was

350
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: kind of the point we always tried to make, and

351
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: that whole thing of like, these guys are good hitters,

352
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: they have to hit good and that's kind of the

353
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: spot we've gone to. Now it feels like every guy

354
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: in this team that's just taking great that bats great, hacks,

355
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: it's not it really feels like when these pitchers have

356
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: to get through this lineup. Besides for Hayden Sanger, there's

357
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: not a weak spot. And then Luis Terrenz had a

358
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: great series as well.

359
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Louise Terrenz. And as much as Hayden Sanger can't hit,

360
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: and that's probably never going to change. He's been getting

361
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: sack flies, he's been laying down bunts. He's been doing

362
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: his job as the nine hitter. They've been treating him

363
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of like the pitcher, and it's been working out.

364
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: He had a great butt but single where Taiwan jumped

365
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: off the mound and completely missed the ball. I don't

366
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: know how he missed it. I don't know what it

367
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: looked like on TV, but at the game it was like,

368
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: what in the world just happened? Do his job? Get

369
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: on base like that, make little plays. He doesn't need

370
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: to be the impact bad. He's just got to turn

371
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: the lineup over.

372
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: Is the time for the Nolan McClain power Hour.

373
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's please talk about this kid, because holy shit,

374
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: so shout out. My best friend Alex came to his

375
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: first Mets game of the year. What a game for

376
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: him to pick. We got through like the seven inks

377
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: because Noel McLain had what like sixty pitches through the

378
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: first seven and he's like, this game's going fast, and like,

379
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: you asshole, you Dick, Why did you say that? And

380
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: he had a big smile. He's like, you see how

381
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: this guy's pitch. He's like, this guy's amazing. He's so good.

382
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: He is noticeably amazing. To someone who doesn't watch baseball

383
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: like we do, you can just watch him pitch and go.

384
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: He's a little bit different than what the met's have

385
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: been having.

386
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: He is. He was surgical for the second start in

387
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: a row. It is funny how he pitched in that

388
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: first game against the Mariners, or it was just breaking balls,

389
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: breaking balls, breaking balls in like a shocking way and

390
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: getting through guys because now this is the pitcher that

391
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: was a little bit more advertised where it's just the

392
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: nasty sinker sweeper. And then against the lefties, just everything

393
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: we got against them. But it worked so unbelievably well.

394
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: He only faced one three ball count in this game

395
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: until there were two outs in the seventh inning. He

396
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: was perfect and not perfect. He faced the minimum through

397
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: this first six and two thirds innings as well.

398
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: He threw I think twenty eight pitches, which is technically

399
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: like three immaculate innings. I know it's not, but technically

400
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: it is.

401
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: But it's just is over and over and over again.

402
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: He was executing every single pitch against every single battery.

403
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: That curveball he broke off against Harper, and that was

404
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: at the fourth inning. The way he got both of

405
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: those guys, Harper and oh schwarbro curveballs and colors in

406
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: the first inning, the he guy.

407
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: Felt easy, man, it felt easy.

408
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: He threw all Six's pitches in this game. Sweeper, the sinker,

409
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: the curve, the fastball, the change up in the color.

410
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: All six forced multiple swings and misses like that. Seth Lugo,

411
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: you darbish type of deep arsenal shit. And this is

412
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: this is his third career start, even getting into that

413
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: situation trusting first of all men, those are trusting him

414
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: for the eighth inning, I thought was a great call.

415
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: As I thought there the chances didn't come back ot

416
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: for the ninth. He still like that he didn't come

417
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: out for the ninth.

418
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: I really liked he didn't.

419
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: But the fact that there were first and third with

420
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 2: nobody out got in trouble for the first time kind

421
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: of as a pro basically since like the fourth since

422
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: he since he made the behind the back play against

423
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: the Mariners, and he just toughed up hard and got

424
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: two week fly balls and jump off the man and

425
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: made a great play to end that eighth inning. I

426
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: was just like the fucking poise on a kid in

427
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: his third start against the biggest rival, with two guys on,

428
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: no outs in the eighth inning of a major league

429
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: baseball game.

430
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out Alec Bohm for being you know, so

431
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: fucking slow because.

432
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: Yep, if we haven't talked about Boone yet, yeah, I.

433
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: Mean we'll talk about him in a second a little bit more.

434
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: But like the fact that he's one of the slowest

435
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: players in baseball was huge as well. Shout out him

436
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: for being such a stud over there at third base.

437
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: He couldn't tag up on either of those balls. He

438
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: would have been hosed on the Sodo one. Nimo has

439
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: a noodle, has a bad arm, but he could have

440
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: Probably it would have been kind of close if they

441
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: sent him on that. But you couldn't because he's a

442
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: horrible athlete and he can't move, he's got heavy feet,

443
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: he's run with some men issues. But like it was

444
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: just that moment him being able to get through there,

445
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: like you said, to show that, to show that confidence,

446
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: to show the calmness. There's a quiet confidence with Noel

447
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: McLean where he just walks out on the mounds like

448
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm good, I got all the pitches and try

449
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: to hit them. He attacked the batters today, like you mentioned,

450
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: didn't get behind at all almost in this game. He's awesome.

451
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: He is must watch television, and I'm getting like silly,

452
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: silly excited about what this guy could look like for

453
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: the future.

454
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: Gary keithan Ron mentioned Matt Harvey's name multiple times.

455
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you could mention him. You could mention like

456
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: you can mention a lot of great Mets pictures. He's

457
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: doing some stuff that you don't see often.

458
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: It's the feeling, too, of the fact that there were

459
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: expectations and he's very quickly delivering in a magnificent way

460
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: in a pressure pack situation. And again he's doing it

461
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: with so many different weapons. Six different pitches he threw

462
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: against lefties in this game. He threw all six between

463
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: thirteen and twenty times.

464
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

465
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: That's a disgusting depth of repertoire. Like I don't even

466
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: know how the like with accolade to give that like

467
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: that is like literally like you did the U Darvis

468
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: Seth Lugo shit, and they didn't have that when they

469
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: were twenty four years old. That came with time. It's

470
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: like this wide of an arsenal with disability to spin

471
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: the ball, and we can still see that. The command

472
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: for Nolan McLain does go in out like you could

473
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: feel that, because he feels like he's just such a

474
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: good athlete. It feels like he's so strong that sometimes

475
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 2: especially it was in that seventh inning when he let

476
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: the single go through. It was his first time pitching

477
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 2: out of stretch basically the whole game. So I think

478
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: he threw one pitch out of stretch before getting that

479
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: double play. When Bom got the single in the second

480
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: or third whatever that was, and he lost his command

481
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: a little bit and Se'd Buckner bailed him Out'm not

482
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 2: sure if could see hi that TV wouldn't tell it

483
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: was a three to zero fastball or sinker whatever was.

484
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: He threw the JT real Muto two, which is off

485
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: the plate. He gave him a A and JT went who okay,

486
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: and then he got back in the zone. He got

487
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: the out and I was like, oh, nice, like being

488
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: able to take advantage of the benefit that was given

489
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 2: to you. Also, no walk two straight starts like there's

490
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: we could just keep saying Nolan McLain's stats back and

491
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: forth to each other. We could probably do that for

492
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: the next twenty minutes.

493
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: He is so good. I mean, he's the best picture

494
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: in this rotation. I mean, is that crazy three starts?

495
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: We said that after the first and we forgot about

496
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: David Peterson. So I think, just as sticking with myself

497
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 2: the having to disrespect David Pearson to keep him good,

498
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: I'll say yes, McLain is the best hitter in this rotation.

499
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: But again, it's just like seeing the weapons that he has,

500
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: especially now seeing that the major league level for multiple starts,

501
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: being able to see the day, this scene, the way

502
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: hitters are responding seeing that, I'll have uncomfortable these phillies.

503
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: Guys.

504
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 2: Look in the box. If you scroll Pitching Ninjas Twitter

505
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: right now, it was half Nolan McClain tonight. Over He

506
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: gave him an overlay. He was talking about curve balls,

507
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: he was talking about sweepers like he He featured three

508
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 2: different Nolan McLain pitches on the page tonight. It's just

509
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: it's uncomfortable at bad. It's a kid who's confidence. It

510
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: just has to be through the fucking roof.

511
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you could tell, but like

512
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: his first at bat against Trey Turner, how he made

513
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: Trey Turner look absolutely foolish in that one. I was like, uh,

514
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: I think we might be in for a really good

515
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: game from Noel McLain, and I didn't think it was

516
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: gonna be anywhere even close to what he gave us.

517
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: I thought we'd get like six strong innings, maybe at

518
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: one or two runs to go eight give up zero

519
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: like that against the Phillies lineup a complete team as

520
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: so deemed by James Ciano most complete team in the league,

521
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: was complete team in the league, as he says, I.

522
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: Stand by that. I stand by that one hundred percent.

523
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: But it's also like to do this two times in

524
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: a row against the Braves and Phillies.

525
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: Like our two are are two fucking our biggest fucking rivals.

526
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: Like talk about getting thrown into the fucking fire, and

527
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: also doing some reflection about like how like a little

528
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: frustrated we might have been about mclin not being here

529
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: for those couple of months when we were struggling, But

530
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: at the same time, there's always such a butterfly effect

531
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 2: with these things. And we do know that he has

532
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: made some changes with his armslot and the movement on

533
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: the curb on the cover, especially like consistency of those

534
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: pictures wasn't really as there through those summer months. And

535
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: again like at this point, I wouldn't want to change

536
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: anything in the space time continuum that brought Nolan McLain

537
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: to this moment. I wouldn't want to change a breakfast

538
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: that he ate in twenty nineteen, like I don't want

539
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: to like I don't want to change a shirt that

540
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: he wore in twenty twenty two.

541
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: He was saying he was late to high school in

542
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, or wherever he was still in high school.

543
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: Like, no moment from Nolan McLain's life to this point

544
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: any kind of change could have benefited how he's been

545
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: these first three starts, because it's like top of the

546
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 2: career type stuff, first met starting picture ever to win

547
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: their first three starts.

548
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he feels, uh, feels a little different, feels a

549
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: little exciting. I don't know about you guys, but every

550
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: time he pitches at City Field, I'm gonna make sure

551
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: I am there.

552
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh, totally got another work up Friday, I know Jojah.

553
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 2: This is also the thing where so much shit was

554
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: thrown at David Searn's over the middle months of the season, Like,

555
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: how could this guy have not gotten a picture? I

556
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: can't believe this is happening. And then you look around

557
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: the league right now and Corbyn Burns blew out of

558
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: his arm. Blake Snell's really he's dealt with injuries this

559
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: year and he's not been super effective. Nathan Valdi just

560
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: broke down finally, possibly for the last time. Jack flair

561
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: the's fucking turbo dog shit. Heyy suseless? Are those ra's

562
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: approaching five? Like seriously?

563
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: Like it turnball dog Shit's crazy?

564
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: All of the pictures that were the big name guys

565
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: this offseason. You look around and you're like, oh, I

566
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 2: don't really want any of my team this badly.

567
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty is turbo dog shit.

568
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: You think I'm lying about this stuff. I'm the number

569
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: one Jack flairty hate that.

570
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I thought you had like a r

571
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: at like three to eight. Oh dude, no, it's like

572
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: five and eight.

573
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah right now? Oh oh turbo dog shit.

574
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: Turbo Dogshit's being nice jesus, Yeah, I mean like again,

575
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: Matt Boyd was the missing people would have fucking gone

576
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: ballistic if Matt Board was the big sign of this offseason.

577
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure even Katana's hurt right now. And again,

578
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: we're still almost on the one year anniversary of Katana's

579
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: hot streak beginning when last year he had a five

580
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: ERA through four months of the season. Everyone that conveniently forgets,

581
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: but it's just I feel like, knowing these demons were here,

582
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: just absolutely waiting until the last moment, not shooting, so

583
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: they saw the whites of their eyes.

584
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: I am gonna give some flowers as well. I saw

585
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: this in the comment section, and people were right. Billy Eppler, Oh,

586
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: for sure, draft him, drafted him, drafted Jonah toong. Listen, David.

587
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: I think David Stearns got really good clay and he

588
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 1: sculpted it into a masterpiece. But he didn't get that

589
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: play without Billy Eeppler. Billy Eppler shout out to him,

590
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: He's done a lot, weirdly for this team as well

591
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: to be as good as they are.

592
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: And also shout out the skying department, the amateur scouts,

593
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: like the people in charge of player development, like.

594
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: Chris Christie's kid. Right, what's his name Angela or something,

595
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: and there's Andrew Christie.

596
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: Let's go through the directory right now, because every one

597
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 2: of these guys deserves a shout out.

598
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: Each they're smack and they're crushing.

599
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: And also, like it seems like, again, we should probably

600
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: know exactly who these guys have been, how long they

601
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: have these jobs. But there's continuity in the Mets concepts

602
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 2: in these drafts, like yes, getting a Nolan McClain two

603
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: way guy, getting you Carson Bench two way guy, getting

604
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: a bitch Boy two way guy in three consecutive drafts,

605
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: Like it does seem like again, there is this continuity

606
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: where tongue is the alien that's totally separate.

607
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: It was a seventh round pick, like they just they

608
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: were like, let's let's throw this dart at a board

609
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: and then they were like, oh shit, it's a good dart.

610
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: They might have they might have gotten tongue because of

611
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: the forty man caveat that Matt Eddie we talked to

612
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: about now. He wrote into an article this week about

613
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: the birth month of guys between May and June for

614
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: nineteen year old draftees pushing their forty man clock back

615
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 2: a full calendar year, where it's like, oh, I know,

616
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 2: I can develop this guy for one extra year before

617
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: I actually have to bring it in the roster.

618
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: We know Billy Upper likes to manipulate.

619
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: Oh, we do know he loves to manipulat. I'm sure.

620
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: And again, well we'll never know whatever happened with the

621
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: billiy up on manipulation who was out to get them?

622
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: But again Andy Green, Chris Gross, tom Atanus, who's been

623
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: here for a million years right now, Again, like there's

624
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: been a lot while there has been turnover in that

625
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: lead executive, the Mets actually have begun to for the

626
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 2: first time. I mean like there's this consistency this process.

627
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: Like Kyleer McDaniel just named this number one farm system

628
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: in baseball, which is fucking sick.

629
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Which remember when this year started, we were both like

630
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: we're not getting enough shine for how good this farm is.

631
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: We're like, this is a top ten form system. No doubt.

632
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: Baseball America was hip, of course, shout Matt Eddie shot

633
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: everybody over there. Baseball America was hip, but Pipeline had

634
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: us still in the middle of the pack, towards the

635
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: bottom half. ESPN was behind. It was like, we have data,

636
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: we have numbers, you can see things. This was so

637
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: fucking obvious that we have one of the best farm systems.

638
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: It was buster Onney. It was like a year ago.

639
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 2: Oh he went online. He said, the mets have no

640
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: pictures in their system, and I don't know how they're

641
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: going to build a rotation.

642
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: It's like, you, are you that fucking stupid? Are you

643
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: that dense? I mean, we know he.

644
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: Is, but I mean does probably come back to the

645
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: fact that a lot of those guys they're not in

646
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: the weeds like us for individual teams like which is.

647
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: Okay, but like also has to be able to do that.

648
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: I also tell you this, you say that we're blessed, right,

649
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: what else do they do all day? They do the

650
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: same job.

651
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right about that, But again it's the

652
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: same resources. So much about this is just knowing where

653
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 2: the look simply that. And it's the same thing as

654
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 2: what's going out with shopas in Barnes. How well can

655
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: you relay the information? How well can you take it

656
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: in and then put it back out? Because that's what

657
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 2: this is, and it's just I don't know. Now I'm

658
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 2: getting like cocky about the pharmacistics. Oh yeah, Jacob Rhymer

659
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 2: is destroying double A. Adrian Ewing is destroying double A.

660
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: Jack Weddinger looks like a like a like a piece,

661
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: like the whole thing. Ie.

662
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: It's getting crazy and like I mean, if you want

663
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: to look at one of the other top farm systems

664
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: right now in baseball, it's where David Seartns just came from.

665
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: The Brewers are just pumping out fucking units prospects. It's crazy.

666
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Luis Panya and Jesus Made are like nineteen years old.

667
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: They might be in the majors by next year.

668
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 2: So it's even like the guys who are contributing like

669
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: at the major league level came out of nowhere, Guys

670
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 2: like Blake Perkins, Monasterium, Isaac fucking Collins. Isaac Collins was

671
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: cut by the Rockies as a minor leaguer. Released by

672
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: the Rockies the best player. Yeah, the thirty thirty season.

673
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: The miners they were like, fuck it, we're out, Like

674
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: what do you so? It's that that's like, at the

675
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 2: end of the day, just having the consistency of the process.

676
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: The adults in the room, like we say all the time,

677
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: it means so much when you can stack up these

678
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: good days, good weeks, good months, and good years on

679
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: top of each other.

680
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: Now you can see the machine forming. It's crazy what

681
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: winning will do to my mental process.

682
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: And say, imagine, imagine we imagine after that Mariners game

683
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: to right now, it's been thirteen days, twelve days.

684
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: It's been like two weeks, basically two weeks, two weeks.

685
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: On Friday, twelve days.

686
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's pretty It feels good to

687
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 1: be a Met fan right now again, which is not

688
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: something that we had felt in the minute. No.

689
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: And again it's so funny too, like we were so bad,

690
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: so bad for two months, so good for two months.

691
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: Even last week we blew those horrible games against the.

692
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: Washington Actually we blew a horrible game in this series.

693
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: We got we got it back though, got it back.

694
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: Still still know ninth inning, comeback from down down in

695
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: the ninth inning, but fuck that. I mean, it's kind

696
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: of it's an insane status.

697
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: It is, you know what, at some point you just

698
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 2: you just bluck out a one run game.

699
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: Probably although the games are running out, Mets might not

700
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: do it for an entire season. Regular season.

701
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: Make the first one the playoffs.

702
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: You know, you know who.

703
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: It's the season added today. You know what, we know

704
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: what would happen.

705
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: That's would be in the playoffs we play the Phillies.

706
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: We play the Phillies, but we would be in Citizens

707
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Bank Park. We gotta we gotta get that game in

708
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: city Field because we know flip it. We know that

709
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: the article. I don't know who wrote it, James, but

710
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: you were telling me you showed it to me, the

711
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: article about the Phillies and how they were in their

712
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: fucking heads. I talked mentally, how we physically beat them down,

713
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: emotionally beat them down. The craziest one is how mentally

714
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: destroyed this Phillies team is when they play, specifically in

715
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: City Field, talking about how they think the Mets have

716
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: this like deep, deep dive into all the little quirks

717
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: that the Phillies pitchers and players could be doing about

718
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: where j t row Mutto sets up in the box.

719
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: It's it's a level of paranoia I've truly never seen

720
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: outside of the Yankees and the Astros, and.

721
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: It's it's funny paranoia because it's the same thing that

722
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: we talked about with the Braves over the last few years.

723
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: That feels like now and they've helped us get over

724
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: it because they suck.

725
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: They think you like.

726
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: I hope hopefully they can give the Phillies a good

727
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: series this week and keep making up some ground. But

728
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: it's braves, let's go braves, baby. It's that disbelief of

729
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: what's actually happening on the field in front of them.

730
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: And you could see it so obviously one in that

731
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: playoff series last year. Yes, and we began to feel

732
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: that during that amazing four game series Tyler McGill, Yes,

733
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: the Tyler McGill Zach Wheeler game, But that was when

734
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: it's when the ball hit the fucking bass.

735
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: Remember, it's when the ball hit the base. All of

736
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, shit turned our way, and.

737
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: The Phillies fans keep talking like the Mets keep looping

738
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: their way to the victory. And someone in the met

739
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: in the Mets community quote tweet it with a picture

740
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: of all the Mets hard hit balls like and that

741
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: against Duran, Like, hey man, we were smacking them like.

742
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: That pieced them up.

743
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: It's the excuses that are like the fact that, oh,

744
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: you guys actually really can't believe this, And then I

745
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: don't think there's been a better metaphor image for all

746
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: of that. Then your favorite Philly, My favorite Philly. At

747
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: this point too, Alec Bohm pointing out to a little

748
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: microphone that's been on the center field fence in city Field.

749
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: We have potone video edens dating back to I believe

750
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen that's been there, Diana, shout out, Diana and

751
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: the Queen of Mets twenteen. Found a double that Alec

752
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: Boum hit with that microphone up a few seasons ago

753
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: in city Field. But for some reason, even after an

754
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: RBI single, all of a sudden, now I can't see

755
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 2: the baseball. We need a twenty minute lay. My dad

756
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: has to leave the game early to go catch the

757
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: NJ transit because Alec Bohma has to be a little

758
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: whiny bitch. And then all of a sudden they must

759
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: go thirteen unanswered runts.

760
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's crazy that he did that, because

761
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: I think even Philly fans were like, shut the fuck up, dude.

762
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: Did you see the post the postgame, Phillies. I've been

763
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: watching it all week. NBC Sports Philadelphia does the best

764
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: job in the world. As not a fan of the Phillies,

765
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: and maybe even as a fan of the Phillies, you

766
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: love it. Too, because they live and die with every

767
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: winning loss. Like you you turn on that game, whether

768
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: they win or lose, you have no idea what the

769
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: record is on the season. Like the way that they

770
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: react to losing these games against the Mets. You would

771
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: think that, like the Phillies are in dead last and

772
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: that they haven't won a game in weeks, But that's

773
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: also they haven't won a game in Cityfield in a year,

774
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: in a full calendar year. It's gonna be the last

775
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: time that they won a game in City Field. Like

776
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: hearing Ricky Batalico go off for a good five to

777
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes about how Alec Boma is such a baby

778
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: to make that call and how dare he delay the

779
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: game for twenty minutes. It fucked up Christiopher Sanchez too.

780
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: That was one of the underrated things in that as well.

781
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: Oh with ice him, it kept him on the bench longer,

782
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: and that's that's very annoying, especially an ending that nothing's

783
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: really happening, like to have a long ending as a pitcher,

784
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: you can kind of get over mentally if you're stilling runs.

785
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: I think you got some runs. I'm feeling good right now.

786
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: But then he comes back after that twenty minute light

787
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: first time, he's the last five runs all season, Like

788
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: something happened with that with the Mets where it.

789
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: Was I'll tell you what it is. What James Ciano

790
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: give him the pitching breakdowns. It's it's working, It's fucking working.

791
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: I nailed him again too, Christopher Sanchez, swing early, haystlaz

792
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: Are the wait, Taiwan Walker. There's gonna be colors in

793
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: the other half to the left. He just said on

794
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: those and it's also what was the guys gonna say.

795
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: I love also always watching these Phillies badcasts. I think

796
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: they are good. Like if I'm watching a road game,

797
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 2: I tune in all the times McCarthy and McCarthy does

798
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: a great job, and Crook is their Keith Crook is

799
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: Crook is also incredible, and their homers, but their homers, appropriately,

800
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: baseball announcers should be homers. There should be a regional

801
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: element of baseball. That's how the sport was built, That's

802
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: how the sport feels like. I love hearing accents when

803
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: I'm watching games of that region, but listening back and

804
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: everyone puts on tweather. Shot of the guy allatroll for

805
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: putting on our tweather as well listening to them call,

806
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: especially the Brandon Nimo walk off single on Tuesday, it's

807
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: like one of their cats died.

808
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, a tragedy.

809
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: I think he said the nightmare continues for the Phillies

810
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: and City Field. So I do think it's like twenty

811
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: two out of twenty six the Mets have won in

812
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: City Field over the Phillies nine in a row. It's

813
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: just they were talking about Nolan McLain in the post

814
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: game of a Wednesday's game, like he was Steve Carlton,

815
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: like it's absolutely unbelievable to praise their giving. And again,

816
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: I think there is a situation with the Phillies of

817
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: an Alec Bohm Like, I don't think they love him

818
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: anyone there, I don't.

819
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't know who likes Alec Bob truefully. Besides like

820
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: his family, sure.

821
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: His mother loves him deep Yeah, but it's just he

822
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: kind of plays bad defense.

823
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: He's never ever he botched develops in this series too.

824
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: He couldn't he I shouldn't say he botched the balls,

825
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: but he cannot make a play that's not hit directly

826
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: out him and slow.

827
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: No, he there was a couple of whell go on

828
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: the ground but then the ball like bounced over like

829
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: his neck. You're trying to roop it with his glove.

830
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 2: I also told he picked up a glazy one late

831
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: in the game and a high game on Tuesday night

832
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: after the Harris. We'll get the negative in the second. Guys,

833
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: we're still just got to make fun of Fel. There's

834
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: only one, now there's three.

835
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, I forgot what we were talking about.

836
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he went after a ball and

837
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: just kind of like picked at it with his one hand,

838
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: didn't come didn't get behind it, came around it. No

839
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: second hand. I was like, that guy gets on base.

840
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: It's a different ball game. I couldn't believe the way

841
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: he went after a ball. I remember last year in

842
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs when he got fucking benched for Edmundo Sosa. Yeah,

843
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: Munds I think is pretty good ball Player's kind of

844
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: be in the glue of this, the infield taking over

845
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: Bryce and stot So, so he's playing against lefties for him.

846
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: But it's just it's it's beautiful to see how much

847
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: they now hate us because this has been a change

848
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: from when we grew up, and the fact that it's

849
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: so deep. Christopher San just kicked the water cooler, like

850
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 2: it's so deeply thick. The body language and these guys

851
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: at the end of the game on Tuesday was miserable

852
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: Jesus Sozarto fucking screaming at Soda for throwing the ball away, and.

853
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: The chirp and the up again ejected yeah, like they're

854
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: this team is pressing, and it's it's weird when you

855
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: press when you have the lead that they do in

856
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: the division, with how many games you have to play.

857
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: If I'm a Phillies fan, I feel very uncomfortable right now.

858
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: Macarthy or was one of the guys in the postgame

859
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 2: show after the Tuesday game, was referencing the tiebreaker and one.

860
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: Of the guys, Oh, we got it now.

861
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: They're like, why are you talking about a tie breaker?

862
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 2: It's a five game lead. He's like, if you watch

863
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: this team play, this team, like, I have no confidence that.

864
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 2: And someone's like, you know, we hit the Malays against

865
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 2: the Mets, but the Mets hit the Malays against everybody else,

866
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 2: which those are also fighting words. It's just it's it's

867
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: and the only guy in this Phillies team that seems

868
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: to have the vibes right now, oddly is Harrison Bader, Yeah,

869
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: who came from the Mets. It feels like he he

870
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 2: had an amazing series in city field this week and

871
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: crush this week.

872
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: I mean he I told you Harrison Baber was gonna

873
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: be a good pick up, like he decent ball player.

874
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: And I mean that throw he made to get lind

875
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: Door at second today was like it was also playing

876
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: off the wall. Yeah, he's He's one of the most

877
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: fun defensive outfielders you can truly watch. He Also, he.

878
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: Definitely has the biggest hat in the league. I've not

879
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: had not seen him make a catch this series this

880
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 2: season is I do watch too many Phillies games where

881
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: that hat stayed on his head every time he runs

882
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 2: against the ball and then he goes back, gets the hat,

883
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: thing goes to.

884
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: The ducks the funnel.

885
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the whole thing. It's just I'm I don't know.

886
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm so pumped by this series. Like every all, I

887
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 2: mean not everything, then three things that are not good happen.

888
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: But seeing the by language of these guys, seeing the

889
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: way the Mets are playing, seeing the joy, the consistency,

890
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: how it is hot, everybody is like it is fucking awesome.

891
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Can I can I just with a little DraftKings player

892
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 1: spotlight real quick?

893
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: Sure, throw it up.

894
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: Jonah Toong is simply the player spotlight making his debut

895
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: on Friday against the Marlins against Ury Press, which is

896
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: also going to be I can't believe we're not gonna

897
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: be at this. Yeah, it's infuriating. Ainst a baseball fan

898
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: watching it on TV. Is also gonna be awesome because

899
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: these are two of the best young pitchers in baseball,

900
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: two of the most exciting guys. Urie Presz is a freak.

901
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: But like we said, the player spotlights on Joanahtong making

902
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: his debut, and I think, similarly to McLain, I think

903
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna let him ride, like see what he's got.

904
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be any kiddie gloves with

905
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: joy Zong.

906
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: Oh yea, that's why he's here. And I listened back

907
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: to David Searn's press conference from the other day and

908
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: they were asking questions about Tongue, like the things that

909
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 2: he's done to be so impressive, and he highlighted a

910
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: lot of things that we've been talking about, but one

911
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: that we aren't really able to have because we don't

912
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: get to watch these minor league games a day in

913
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 2: and day out. But one thing he said that he

914
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: has the fastball, Like that's unbelieving, Like they know for

915
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: a fact this fastball should play against major league killers.

916
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: Like it's that good, it's that that fast. He locates

917
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: it well enough, like everything there. But they talked about

918
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: something else that we were talking about, McLain, that we

919
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: can see with McLain something I've talked about with you

920
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: a few times. Remember I had that low conversation Brince

921
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: Shroum for years ago. He said, this was a big thing.

922
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 2: It's the poise. It's the response in bad situations. It's

923
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: using it's doing different things in the now when you're

924
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 2: behind count. It's not having bad bi language, just something

925
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 2: that's out of your control. You don't respond to back

926
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: calls from the um if a guy makes a bad

927
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: play behind you, you shake it off. Like having that

928
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: that maturity that the strong mentals sket your mentals right,

929
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: gets your chicken right. Marshawn Lynch, it's that's the thing

930
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: that especially as a twenty two year old kid who's

931
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 2: slown through the miners, that could set him apart right away.

932
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really excited to what he can do to

933
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: this Marlins lineup because we talked about how they're missing

934
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: their best left handed hitter and Kyle Stowers. This team

935
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have Jesus Sanchez anymore. If you're looking at the

936
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: left handed hitters in this lineup that can do damage,

937
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: it's not a scary lineup of lefties that Jonah Toan

938
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: would have to face. So he's gonna have a really

939
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: good situation to come out and hopefully shove against this

940
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: Marlins team. And similarly to Noel McLean, I'm gonna be

941
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: taking the over on whatever the outs are gonna be,

942
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming it's gonna be around fifteen point five.

943
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: So that seems to be the line usually for these

944
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: guys making their debut. And if he has anything like

945
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: Noel McLean, which he's been better than he was in

946
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: the miners, i mean, Jonah Tong should be really sat

947
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: in the world on fire.

948
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 2: Possibly no Jordan tongk different from McClain, didn't have such

949
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: a pronounced left you ready split in the minor leagues.

950
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: That was the thing with McLain. That's why he had

951
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: to get over that hurlle got called up. But he

952
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 2: has a whip under one against both guys and the

953
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: minus this.

954
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: Year, and like a whip under one for like for

955
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: everything six hundred days straight.

956
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 2: Like literally, and it's like he's definitely strikes out more radies.

957
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: But I think that's just like how well you can

958
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 2: see the fastball thing, like it is silly. I'm curious

959
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: about where DraftKings puts the strikeouts in a debut like this,

960
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 2: Like that's gonna be interesting to me, Like if it's

961
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: fifteen and a half outs six and a half, k's

962
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 2: for I got start.

963
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna probably be in that five and

964
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: a half range. I think you're gonna play the one

965
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: inning and one inning you're rena at two. I think

966
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of the play from Draftking side five and

967
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: a half with juice. Yeah, I'll take it.

968
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, five and half minus one thirty.

969
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's probably where you sit. So I mean,

970
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: either of those though, I think are winning bets, and

971
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: those would be ones that I'd be picking.

972
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm scared that we're selling them too high, but I'm

973
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: also not scared from looking at his stuff.

Speaker 1: Draftings Player Spotlight, there is Jonah Toong. You knew it

991
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: we are going to have to talk a little bit

992
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: about the negatives that we saw. Good bit keep us even.

993
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: That's why you listen to the mess of the podcast,

994
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: the good, the bad, the ugly. There was some bad

995
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: and there was definitely some ugly. Where do you want

996
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: to start, James the bat or the ugly.

997
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 2: Let's just start with the ugly. Is w Repper right off?

998
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Helsley sucks. Yeah, he's really bad. And I don't know,

999
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: like I hate narrative stuff because he still throws one

1000
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: hundred and two and the slider is still nasty, it

1001
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: still moves a ton. He just might not be able

1002
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: to pitch in New York and I'm really I'm really

1003
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: starting to get that feeling. Also, we have to kill

1004
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: Hell's bells. We can't keep doing this.

1005
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 2: I So I've been flipping back and forth on this

1006
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: whole healthy thing a lot over the last few days.

1007
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: We talked about it because we were at both of

1008
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 2: these games on Monday and Tuesday when he came into both. Monday,

1009
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: I went to the bathroom during his ending. It's like,

1010
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 2: I don't want to watch this, No, separently, I don't.

1011
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to be a part of this at all.

1012
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: But Tuesday one, I was at these two things the

1013
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: same time, completely shocked that Carls Mendoza went to him

1014
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: in a two run game because between I know he

1015
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: was warming up on Monday when the game was a

1016
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: little bit closer, but not this close. And then on

1017
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: Friday we saw him pitching a low leverge spot, so

1018
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 2: I figured that he was going to stick with low

1019
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: leverage until he proved himself dragging himself out of it

1020
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: the flip side. If this is his entrance, we know

1021
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: how mental relieving is pitching and relief if and we

1022
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 2: know his confidence is already fucking shaken because we saw

1023
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: that video of every single guy in the team patting

1024
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: him on the back, congratulating him after he came out

1025
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: of the game on Monday. You have to keep his

1026
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: confidence up. So if this is his songs that get

1027
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: some hype, you gotta do it. And also at the

1028
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: same time, I told just the game, I don't have

1029
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: any proof of this. I saw a Twitter threat going around.

1030
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: I didn't really see any the proof of them there either.

1031
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 2: I think there's at least a chance he's tipping these pitches.

1032
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Gotta be because like my hypothesis too, is that because

1033
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: he only throws the fastball up and the sinker is

1034
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: only down. But how it's binzho career though, Sure, but

1035
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: maybe teams are just getting hip to it. Maybe maybe

1036
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: after three years now they're hip. Sure, I don't know.

1037
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: He pitched the NL Central like for most of those

1038
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: years that division had one good team, So like, I

1039
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: don't know, there is something weird, and maybe in big

1040
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: game moments like you mentioned, there could be there could

1041
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: be a tip. There could be you could read the

1042
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: ball of his hands easy, like maybe maybe in city

1043
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: field you see the ball better out of his hands

1044
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: than when you did when you were in Bush Stadium.

1045
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but my hypothesis is

1046
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: that because those two pitches are so drastically different as

1047
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: to where he throws them, that you can kind of

1048
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: just pick one and he's not throwing the slider for

1049
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,959
Speaker 1: strikes at all unless he happens to hang one, which

1050
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: he usually surprises people. So if you see a pitch

1051
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the zone, you could almost just

1052
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: spit on it because you're like, chances are that things

1053
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: going to be a ball. And it felt like the

1054
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: Phillies hitters were just dead red fastball. You're not gonna

1055
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: beat with a fastball.

1056
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: Very funny that the only guy that he was able

1057
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: to get out was Alec Baum on a strikeouts after

1058
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: he fell behind two oh. Like in Helsy's career, he

1059
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: has put the slider ball spots even this year as well.

1060
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 2: He's thrown it first strike. He's also thrown in the dirt

1061
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 2: the swings and misses, and he threw one in that

1062
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 2: inning to Castianos that for a second because it was

1063
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: it was the first pitch of his at bat. Yes,

1064
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: right after he struck out Bomb gone back from two

1065
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 2: oh and first pitch he dropped a disgusting slider that

1066
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: bounced to cast was like whoa, and I was like, please, please,

1067
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: dear Lord, let him be back. But then after that

1068
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: he missed badly with a few and the fastball is

1069
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 2: in his zone like in the last two outings to

1070
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: find any shred of conference whatsoever. It was still fastballs

1071
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 2: above the bell, sliders below. So like, if you're able

1072
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: to keep those starting in the same spot until the

1073
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: last second, which he was able to do for a moment,

1074
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 2: it's there.

1075
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: But he's shot.

1076
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: Mentally, Harrison Baither knew exactly what was going to come,

1077
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: and he's going to get a fastball middle end, like.

1078
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: Everybody in the stadium knew that was going to happen.

1079
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: And he was so ahead and hit that pitch so

1080
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: far that Helsy threw him it was with that ball

1081
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 2: was a moonshot and it really briefly sucked the life

1082
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: out of that ballpark.

1083
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was.

1084
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: I was just show yeah, freaking out.

1085
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: I was mad because it's just like a tantrum, don't

1086
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times we can see this

1087
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: happen over and over again against the insanity thing. It's like,

1088
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, And guess what, Ryan Helsley's going to

1089
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: pitch big games in the playoffs, and Ryan Helsley's going

1090
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: to get big outs. I actually have no doubt in it.

1091
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: But right now he's broken. Like Ryan Stanek was unpitchable

1092
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: last year, he was horrible. Phil Mayton at one point

1093
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: was terrible, and then they got major outs in the

1094
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: postseason for us, like they were huge. So in the moment,

1095
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: my like DFA Hill's tweet, like I was, I was

1096
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: throwing a tantrum. I was having a meltdown. One hundred percent.

1097
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: He can't keep getting away with this. But at the

1098
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: same time, he still throws one hundred and two. He can't,

1099
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 1: he can't actually suck. He just might suck right now.

1100
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: Yes, And that's I think that's the part that we

1101
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: all have to take with this and that that's important

1102
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: here because just like the lesson we've taken from the

1103
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 2: hitting over the last few months, you know it's in

1104
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 2: there somewhere. Yes, you just have to find it. And again,

1105
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: like understanding Whomandoes is as a manager, it's a player's manager.

1106
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: He knows that to get Hellsley back right's he got

1107
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: to keep the confidence up and to keep his confidence

1108
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 2: back up, you play the stupid fucking song and you

1109
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 2: bring him in the eighth inning, your two run days.

1110
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: You can't do Hell's bells anymore.

1111
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 2: And he was It was again it was. There was

1112
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 2: a brief moment in that inning when he threw that

1113
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,479
Speaker 2: first lighte to Castiano, for I was like, oh my god.

1114
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 2: And then maybe it was a pitch calling things he

1115
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: threw him.

1116
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: Then he threw him two straight sliders that were both

1117
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: close spit on him though.

1118
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 2: I know. That was where I was like, what's actually

1119
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: going on here? Casios also is the kind of guy

1120
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 2: who would pick up something like that and would be

1121
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 2: able to pass that along, you know what I mean? Yeah,

1122
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: like I I respect I don't have was the word

1123
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: here I'm looking for.

1124
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 1: I do I respect Nicks player?

1125
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: I do at this point in cast career, he doesn't

1126
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 2: have that much physically he can offer this team anymore.

1127
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: But as a ballplayer, like he is absolutely a cosmic

1128
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: professional on the field, like he'd be the guy that

1129
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: picks something like that up. And then I was also

1130
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: pissed because after that Bay their home run, the third

1131
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: bat at the inning, for some reason, cars he did

1132
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 2: leave him in the game. And yeah, the first pitch

1133
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 2: against Bryce is dot he threw over the backstop, and

1134
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: then he wounded to walking him, and then Edwin comes

1135
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: in and and Bryce Staciel's two basis and you have

1136
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: to be a magician to get out of it. But

1137
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: then he is a magician. I don't think we've even

1138
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: given him enough credit for how good he's been this season.

1139
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: What about if he comes out the Highway to Hell,

1140
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: like we could we get a different Hell song? Hell

1141
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: Raizer by Ozzy Osbourne, Hell Knight by Pousche Heisty. I

1142
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: doubt he's gonna put on there Hell of a Life

1143
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: Kanye West. I mean, could he just maybe a different

1144
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 1: Hell song because Hell's bells ain't working.

1145
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 2: I'm down for everything, you know what, Let's see what

1146
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: happens is Marlin series but I think road trip will

1147
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: not be the worst thing for Helsi right now.

1148
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, it would be a good one. Rev theory

1149
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: shoutout to the Mountain State. That would be a killer.

1150
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: Walk, a good one and also the beauty of this game.

1151
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: Though on the flip side, we did the same thing

1152
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: Joan Duran. We actually did the worst to him. He

1153
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 2: didn't even get it out. Ryan Helsey got it out.

1154
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: Joan Duran got no outs, even forcing goals to lose.

1155
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: What was interesting is he threw those splitters early on

1156
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: and nobody touched him, and then it felt like he

1157
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: just went away from it and was like fastball curveball,

1158
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: which I don't I don't know why he would do that.

1159
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: I just he also was a little too in the zone.

1160
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 2: I felt like, I feel like a guy like Duran

1161
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: just you could just kind of put that. I mean,

1162
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, like we just this was another time

1163
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: where it felt like there was a plan that was.

1164
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: Execute Also maybe yeah, I was gonna say tip the

1165
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 1: cap Mets hitters were better, Like sometimes the hitters are better.

1166
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: That can happen. We saw it with Edwin Diaz for years.

1167
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: The hitters could be better.

1168
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: And a cool little moment for this Mets team to

1169
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 2: not let the hell's the implosion, because we know how

1170
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 2: many bullpen implosions this team has seen over the past

1171
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 2: two months. Not let that get in their heads. Pick

1172
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 2: their guy up. Let the story be a dramatic walk

1173
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 2: off victory and not Ryan Helsey disaster. That was the

1174
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: part of the story, no doubt about that. But it's

1175
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 2: really cool that we got to change that narrative in

1176
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 2: real time.

1177
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: Okay, so now to the bad, right, some more bad? Yeah,

1178
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: Code I Sanga looks bad, cooked, terrible, but silver lining

1179
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe six day maybe six day or six man rotation

1180
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: will really help because right now he is incapable. I'm

1181
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: pitching on normal's rest.

1182
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: He kind of always has been. We went into this start,

1183
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 2: you were not talking that afternoon ting like I don't

1184
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 2: think there's any way Code is going to pitch good,

1185
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: and we're like, all right, so for us to win

1186
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: this game, we have to bomb Chris for Sanchez, Like

1187
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 2: we're not gonna bomb Chris for Sanchez for the stupid

1188
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 2: we all did, but we did bomb Chris for Sanchez.

1189
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: All worked out, but at least with cod I, there

1190
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: was a moment in this game where he did something

1191
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: really relevant to have helped this team, and that was

1192
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: in that fourth inning, he gives up an infield single

1193
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: to Bay there's the eight hitter and a walk to

1194
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: Bryce's styles nine hither and already down three nothing. The

1195
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 2: Phillies had two on, none out and the top of

1196
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 2: the other coming up, and he toughed up. He got Turner,

1197
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 2: Schwarber Harper one, two three to end that inning. Struck

1198
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: out Harper with a curt. He threw him this sixty

1199
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 2: eight mile an hour curveball, sixty four mile our curve.

1200
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 2: All the first pitch, the whole stadium went whoa. And

1201
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 2: that was moment you're like, all right, cool, this is

1202
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: the Code I pitch ability.

1203
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: That was Remember the moment that shout out Clay. We're

1204
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 1: sitting together. I said, if code I saying it strikes

1205
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: out Bryce Harper right now, the Mets win this baseball game.

1206
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: Bang nailed it.

1207
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: And the immediately we take the momentum back. Want those

1208
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: singles start the next sending sorry about to race him

1209
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 2: on double play, then again single double, single, walk, single,

1210
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 2: we take back over. And also like looking back through

1211
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 2: Code I I hate to like try Monday morning to

1212
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: quarterback these things, but everyone calls me Monday moning quarterbacks

1213
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: from going to do it anyway. Trey Turner triples to

1214
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 2: start the game. Tyron Taylor dope for a ball that

1215
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: was twelve feet away from you.

1216
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: Wasn't even close.

1217
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 2: He just plays out in a balance. That's that's probably

1218
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: a double, but like you could even hold and tell

1219
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 2: him to a single, and then like that ends up

1220
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 2: bringing him a run a ground ball, and then Alec

1221
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: Bohm hits a dinky ass single to drive into two runs.

1222
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: Also before that the classic Alec bom ops field single

1223
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 2: and the outside fastball you love so much so it

1224
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: was it's still bad. Like watching CODEI, you can still

1225
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: see that he just looks so predictable with a sequencing

1226
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: his fastball color, and then he tries to do a four.

1227
00:48:58,600 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: If he gets a head, try to do another four.

1228
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 2: He just can't look at the fastball of the color

1229
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 2: like it is definitely bad, and it's been bad since

1230
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: he came off the injured list. But he's another guy

1231
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: similar to Helsley, where if it just snapped in one second,

1232
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked either. I can see the light

1233
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: at the end of the tunnel with him, I don't

1234
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: see it just yet with Helsley until he actually like

1235
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 2: does anything good for us, because he hasn't really done

1236
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 2: that yet. Where with Code, I'm like, the ghost fork

1237
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: is still one of the best pitches in baseball. Like

1238
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 2: it seems like it's just like a tighten things up

1239
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 2: a little bit. And I don't mean like him tighten

1240
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 2: up as a player, but like tighten up the pitch command,

1241
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 2: tighten up the sequencing, like you mentioned, it's just little

1242
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 2: tweaks that probably are the difference for a guy like

1243
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 2: Code I because right now you mentioned it perfectly.

1244
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: He's not fooling anybody, no, and this.

1245
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: Was the first start. He then fool them a teeny

1246
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 2: tiny bit more. The over fifty percent Chase ray on

1247
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 2: that ghost fork is like one month high for Kaldie,

1248
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 2: which again, these are the little things we're trying to

1249
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 2: watch out for. But also similar to the next guy

1250
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about, Sean and I and it

1251
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: just feels like a wall gets hit. Yeah, and again

1252
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 2: like this kind of the opposite we're saying Kardi because

1253
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: he did toughen up in that fourth, but then even

1254
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: coming back out for the fifth, like after that seemed

1255
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 2: like he did leaves all out there because then he

1256
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 2: has an eight pitch battle real mutol. He hits him

1257
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 2: with two strikes and then then Jose Cassio gets a

1258
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: double play and all hell winds up breaking loose with

1259
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 2: the microphone center field.

1260
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, which you know, we scored some runs, so we're

1261
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: feeling that one's not that bad. But Shrum and I

1262
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: was also a little bit concerning too, because it's he's

1263
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: back to barely being a five and dive guy right now.

1264
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: He is so good through the first four and he

1265
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: got finished five can't fish it like eight strikeouts fantastic.

1266
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: He was getting whips like it's it is always so

1267
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: surprising to watch because he does it in such an

1268
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: unconventional way. It's because he has that weird arm slot.

1269
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: Like we know, I don't want to say the gimmicks,

1270
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: but we know all the reasons why Sean and I

1271
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: is able to be better than what you'd expect. But

1272
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 1: the fact that he cannot give any sort of length

1273
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: and it's continuous, like it's been a month and a

1274
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: half now where he's not getting going any deeper into games.

1275
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: Maybe is this thing where the Mets just gotta be like,

1276
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: because I told you coming into the game. I was like, four,

1277
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: good in get him out of there, Like I don't

1278
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't need him to push it to the fifth.

1279
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: We have the bullpen, but we keep trying it because

1280
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: you probably do need it. But I don't know. It's weird.

1281
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 2: It was. It's the same thing that kind of happens

1282
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 2: every time. It's that seventy seventy five pitch mark, and

1283
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he goes away. Manaia's velocity peaked

1284
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: in this game and ninety four miles per hour in

1285
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 2: the third inning, late in the third inning, and then

1286
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 2: he just trickled down all the way until the end.

1287
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: He's able to get the tiny spikes. But when he

1288
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 2: gets the spikes, he gives us some command, He give

1289
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: us some mechanics to do it. He also had like

1290
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: a ten mile per hour almost gradient with the sweeper

1291
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 2: in this game, which is really strange. I know, sometimes

1292
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 2: he gets more movement less movement takes something off that

1293
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 2: he's good at manipulating that pitch, especially when he has

1294
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 2: to throw it against the right of these but it's

1295
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 2: just it feels like he's so clearly pitching injured and

1296
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 2: knowing that it's okay to just treat him as a

1297
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,919
Speaker 2: seventy five pitch guy. Like, I think that maybe there's

1298
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 2: not lack of communication happening between him and the team,

1299
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: because it seems like knowing these things, seeing these things,

1300
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 2: if we can see these things, they can see these

1301
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: teams these things, and at the same time with that

1302
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 2: they know more than us. So maybe there is a

1303
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 2: communication happing at that we're not aware of. But it's

1304
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 2: just he came out for that fifth inning and immediately

1305
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: like he's got nothing. Yeah, it comes and goes like that.

1306
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: You could feel it.

1307
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 2: Everyone knows it. He's not getting any more fastballs above

1308
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 2: ninety one. It's just banged there all of a sudden,

1309
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 2: just hitting him every which way. And then also I

1310
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 2: thought it was right that they pulled him when he

1311
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 2: did yes, for to bring in Gregory Solo for Swarburn Harper.

1312
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: So that did not get the job done, but that

1313
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: was the right process. Yeah, no, I agree. I thought

1314
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: that was the exact right time to you. So that's

1315
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: why you got him there. You literally got him for

1316
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: Schwarber Harper, Like, that's why he is on this team

1317
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: because as much as we love Brooks Raley gregorysau is

1318
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: much tougher at bad against lefties than Brooks.

1319
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 2: Raley is going to be absolutely and I know he

1320
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: walked s Forbur. That was the problem walking Shwarbur going

1321
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 2: down three against him. You don't want to do that.

1322
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 2: Once you're down three zero against coyleege Swarbur and there's

1323
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: already someone on second base like, I'm fine, which is

1324
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: letting that happen? Put the Harper at that He's buried

1325
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 2: the sink around his hands, and Harper just nubbed it

1326
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 2: out there like just good piece of hitting from a

1327
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. It's just you tip the cat.

1328
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: But that's probably also just like being a teammate and

1329
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: just knowing Soto a little bit too totally.

1330
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he's gonna come innce me. I just

1331
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 2: gotta get my hands inside this ball and just literally

1332
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 2: try to drop it behind the infielder. That's what he did.

1333
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 2: It was great and we still won.

1334
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Still one. The one thing I'm gonna say about

1335
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: Maniya to going back to the four inning thing is

1336
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: that I know there's a lot of negative connotation around

1337
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: not being able to go five innings, for sure, but

1338
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: if going if pushing to five innings means that you

1339
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: give the team less of a chance to win. Then

1340
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: if you go four, it doesn't matter. You go four,

1341
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: that's the right choice.

1342
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 2: And this is now five consecutive starts where he's giving

1343
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: up runs exactly in the fourth or fifth innings.

1344
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean basically since Cleveland right at the beginning

1345
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: of the month.

1346
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: I think was the first one that started the game

1347
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 2: before that.

1348
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Cleveland technically he did go five

1349
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: to two thirds, so it might be the Milwaukee one then.

1350
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there was the one. I think maybe the

1351
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 2: Cleveland one because that was when we were in the ballpark.

1352
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 2: I saw Nay nine at points to you, I was like,

1353
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 2: he's done.

1354
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: It's it.

1355
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 2: But also yeah, nineteen swings and misses heye had they strikeouts,

1356
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 2: like we see the upside of them. For Nia, that's still there,

1357
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 2: but it's just not the stamina of he had last season.

1358
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day it might just

1359
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 2: be okay, and there's reinforcements coming again. Tongs pitching on Friday,

1360
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill's bout through eighty pitches and rehab start. He's

1361
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 2: been decimating minor league kiers for that role. He's going

1362
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 2: to be in Like, that's a lot of volume that

1363
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 2: you can add to this pitching staff in the spot

1364
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: and you can begin to get creative.

1365
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: Now. I know Mania has been pitching in the minors

1366
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: before this, but at the major league level, he's pitched

1367
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: since July thirteenth, right, so it's a little over it's

1368
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: about a month and a half. We'll say, yeah, this

1369
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: is gonna be a weird take that I'm gonna have,

1370
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: but I'm just just bear with me. It's per training,

1371
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: spring training, is it? This is spring training? I think

1372
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: that I listen. I want the training wheels to come

1373
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: off very soon. I would like to see Sean and

1374
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: I go if they can go back to the Shawan

1375
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: and Iya that we know he can be based on

1376
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: what he is last year. But maybe this is just

1377
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: all the build up for when the games matter at

1378
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: the end, and we might get a better version of

1379
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: him maybe at the end of September than we do

1380
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: right now, because it's just he didn't have spring training.

1381
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: He did not have it. It's it's an objectable truth,

1382
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of like we said Blake Snell in the past

1383
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: two not comparing the two as actual quality pitchers, but

1384
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: the process of being that his season was delayed, and

1385
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: it does feel like, I mean, you look at spring

1386
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: training starts, you get like seventy seventy five by the

1387
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: end of spring training, and then opening day you hope

1388
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: to get to eighty ninety and then by the mid

1389
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: season you're in one.

1390
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: Hundred level totally. And this also probably is a bit

1391
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 2: of a pride thing for Sham and I. Yes, he's

1392
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 2: the kind of guy who signs the contract he signed

1393
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: after the season he had last year, and he's basically

1394
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: like my main raised no bitch, like I'm here if

1395
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 2: he's a game, I say, I'm here to give this

1396
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 2: team innings like he was the innings either last year.

1397
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 2: They might just don't make the playoffs last year without

1398
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 2: Shawan and I going deep into every single one of

1399
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,959
Speaker 2: those games after I drink the Master July, like, that's

1400
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 2: that is who he is. So and there's also kind

1401
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 2: of a thing where I'll also say this too, it

1402
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: took him four months to be able to go seven innings.

1403
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 1: It might just take him a long fucking time. Maybe

1404
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: that's it. Shawm and I.

1405
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 2: Also in the past, he's talked about this himself that

1406
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 2: he kind of struggles sometimes with taking care of his body,

1407
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 2: so I could see the layoff like that, especially with

1408
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 2: all the arms probably had, Like there's a lot of

1409
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 2: conflicting factors here. And also this is the thing where

1410
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people sometimes think that David

1411
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 2: Searns is like a full puppet master running this team

1412
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 2: from the top. Yes, this seems like a clear and

1413
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 2: obvious situation or Carols from Dosa's making these decisions. Yes,

1414
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 2: because it feels like David Stearns would be like four innings,

1415
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 2: thank you so much, im out, thank you.

1416
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: He has no problem doing that. He's done that many times.

1417
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 2: Pushing Seman and Knife through the fifth inning every single

1418
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 2: time is the exact same thing, a different moment in

1419
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,479
Speaker 2: the game as Carls from Doza still giving grind Hellsey

1420
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 2: the eighth inning. That's my guy, That's what I know

1421
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: he wants to do. I want to build his confidence,

1422
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 2: like this is the opposite of the Blakes now Kevin Cash,

1423
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 2: and I think that probably is a part of that.

1424
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: You know what, maybe it's like the Bats, where you

1425
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 2: got to go through a bunch of this bullshit and

1426
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 2: once you do good over the hump, there's exponential rewards.

1427
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think that's very well said. Anything else

1428
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: to talk about this or I think that's pretty muchure.

1429
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 3: Right.

1430
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 2: We did a full hour on the Philly series, and

1431
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 2: now I feel like we could just do more. We

1432
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 2: can even do much more, but we gotta move on.

1433
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 4: AJM on my phone right now in Arena Club, and

1434
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,759

1438
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 4: Get you to buy to me.

1439
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't have it.

1440
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 4: You know you have to get a slab pack.

1441
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 2: No, I don't have that, And give me your slab pack.

1442
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:11,960

Speaker 1: Buy slab pack, Scott, so I can get the Bobby

1444
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: with Junior Gold Refractor twenty twenty Bowman Chrome Auto.

1445
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 2: Because that sounds.

1446
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 4: Awesome and it's worth a lot.

1447
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: It's worth a lot. He's a stud, he's not going down.

1448
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: Get a grill. Get a grill. I want a grils good,

1449
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,479
Speaker 2: give me the holy grill. You do it.

1450
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 4: To do that, you must get yourself a slab pack.

1451
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 4: In Arena Club or if you want to get it

1452
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 4: for a friend, you can do that too. And right

1453
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 4: now you can get twenty percent off your first slab

1454
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 4: pack or your first card purchase. If you're going on

1455
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 4: there and you're just like, hey, I want a specific card.

1456
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 4: I find it there, I want to grab it for

1457
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 4: my showroom Arena club dot Com slash foul and use

1458
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 4: the code f O U L.

1459
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta move on. We got to preview the

1460
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: Marlins series. I haven't seen them in a minute now.

1461
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: This Marlins team has been better than we expected. Shout

1462
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: out James. These are James's Marlins. These are my mar

1463
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: because we know I'm a mega Marlins hater no reason,

1464
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: but this is still the team that we should be

1465
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: able to beat very simply and easily.

1466
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 2: Definitely, this team looks a lot different because of the

1467
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 2: loss of Kyle Stowers, like you talked about in the

1468
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 2: Jonah Tong segment we did like a half hour ago

1469
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 2: at this point, but it's more than anything else. This

1470
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 2: Marlins team is built on the back of what is

1471
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 2: and I told you the time, this was my take

1472
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 2: an objectively very good pitching staff, and we're going to

1473
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 2: get three really good pitchers in this series. It's gonna

1474
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 2: be a really good test for what this met with

1475
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 2: this Mets offense is and can be and has shown

1476
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: of the last few weeks. But for pitching matchups. Four

1477
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 2: game series Thursday night seven o'clock Clay Holmes versus Adam Maser,

1478
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 2: Friday Night Bait of an asoff Joonatong, Visieri Perez, Saturday

1479
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 2: four pm Bit of an Asoff David Peerson versus My guy,

1480
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 2: Edward Cabrera, and then Sunday one for the coda Sanga

1481
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: first against the newly red high Sandi al Contra.

1482
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: Perfect just in time for him to throw a complete

1483
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: game shot.

1484
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: Out, perfect just in time from no one who traded

1485
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 2: for him.

1486
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have the high hopes of the pitching

1487
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: staff like you do. But that's why you're gonna tell us.

1488
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: Why right now, You're gonna tell us right now while

1489
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: they're so good, So give us, give us a little

1490
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: breakdown of what we're gonna see from these pictures.

1491
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 2: Adam Maser has h he was part of one of

1492
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 2: these trades and mons made last year because he.

1493
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: Always I'm gonna say he was. Oh he was. Tanner

1494
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: Scott and Brian Hoeing that was it. He was.

1495
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: He was along with Robbie Snelling, who's dominating the minor

1496
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 2: leagues right now.

1497
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Robbi Snelling's good, But what a what a bizarre

1498
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: trade Looking back.

1499
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 2: On that, now he has a funny one. But Tanniscott

1500
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 2: went a reliever and you got you got Robbi Snelling,

1501
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 2: who could legitimately be like a two or three starter

1502
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 2: for years to come. But Maser has a strike throwing problem.

1503
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 2: He is breaking balls, breaking balls, breaking balls, and he

1504
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 2: just kind of hopes to get ahead of you with them,

1505
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 2: and then he can sneak in the fast ball in

1506
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 2: the sinker. It's a wild arsenal, but it's nothing that

1507
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 2: is the most impressive stuff wise. It's a weight. He's

1508
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 2: a wait and see pitcher. You wear him out and

1509
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 2: you get to this modelins bullpen.

1510
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: This is a little interesting background on Adam Maser. First off,

1511
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: middle named McKinley mc k i n n l e E.

1512
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Never seen McKinley spelled that way. Second funny thing, he's

1513
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: a Minnesota guy. Always cool to see cold weather state guys.

1514
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Ohs Iowa make it. And you know where he went

1515
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: before that, South Dakota State. This is like the most

1516
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: one of the most untraditional baseball paths, while also still

1517
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: being at major universities and also actually building a wide

1518
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: repertoire off of like pitching three months a year outdoors. Yeah,

1519
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive.

1520
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. But the other guys we're gonna see

1521
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 2: in the series are objectively monsters, like Juri Cabrera al Contra. Agree, Like,

1522
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 2: if you had to put up every top three nationalgue

1523
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 2: rotation right now, give me.

1524
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: McClain, give me Tom, give me Peterson.

1525
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 2: Those three have a claim, and they all do it

1526
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:49,439
Speaker 2: in like super different ways.

1527
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Also, it's gonna be funny. Oh no, I almost got it.

1528
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: He's been zipping around your.

1529
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Head and now I gotta find him. I gotta find

1530
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 2: the big buster miakihead. But again, at some point, Uri

1531
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Perez is an animal. He already you have one too.

1532
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: I think I did well.

1533
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 2: I think I accidentally got it when I clapped just

1534
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 2: now after an hour the mest of the podcast. He

1535
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: get bugs. He got bugs in the room. Bat remember

1536
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 2: the bad, Holy shit, the bad that was so funny,

1537
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 2: The bad live in the podcast couple times kind of.

1538
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 2: Gary Perez is six foot eight. He's twenty two years old.

1539
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: He's, Oh, it's Tong younger than him.

1540
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 2: Tom might be the youngest pike pitcher in the league.

1541
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 2: Now that's funny. But six ft eight, like he's If

1542
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: you had to tell me in five years, tell me

1543
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 2: who the best pitcher in the league is his A

1544
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 2: good chance I would tell you it. Jerry Perez. He

1545
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 2: just the guy sits ninety eight. He's got an explosive fastball.

1546
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 2: He gets all the way down the mound on you

1547
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: like it's it's a monster.

1548
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: Tom younger, hie, let's go.

1549
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 2: This might be the first time you're ever started. Gets

1550
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 2: the guy youngest name. But Chong also has more extension

1551
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 2: than your even though he's seven inches shorter, which is

1552
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 2: really funny.

1553
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: I told Alex about his extension being six foot one.

1554
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: He's like, what's wrong with this guy? How can you

1555
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: do that? I'm like, we don't know, We have no clue.

1556
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 2: It's a little freak. But Ury, while he's been so

1557
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: dominant this year, like it's the three or four and

1558
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 2: the nine to eight whip in his first couple, like

1559
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 2: first half season back off Tommy John.

1560
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Surgery, Come on, he got it? Did you catch him?

1561
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Missed him?

1562
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 2: Ah?

1563
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Dang got him?

1564
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 2: No, I missed him kidding, I really thought I.

1565
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Got People just want to hear about Uri Perez.

1566
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 2: I know, and I'm just making him wait. It's explosive fastball.

1567
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 2: But the one thing he's not being able to do

1568
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 2: in return from Tommy John Surgery is really command the

1569
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 2: breaking ball. So strike one will be a really big

1570
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 2: pitch for Yury. How he sequences versus the Mets. How

1571
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 2: many fastballs he gets, especially to the lefties right away,

1572
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: it's it's that's how you can get him. He's had

1573
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 2: some good some bad recently. But that is the way

1574
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 2: to get Uri Press. If there is a way to

1575
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: get Ury Press.

1576
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: I imagine Keith is gonna be oogling and over Euri Press.

1577
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: Also the ment.

1578
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 2: We've been some of the staunchest supporters of Edward Cabrera

1579
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 2: during all the trial and tribulations the last few years.

1580
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 2: It's been me, it's been Ron, it's been Keith and

1581
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 2: his Bengary, the only people left in your Edward Cabrera's corner.

1582
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 2: And now he's finally turned the page and he's just

1583
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 2: despicably good again. You're gonna see ninety five Malin ever

1584
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: change for Edward cobre In this game. He's insanely good.

1585
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just trust you. I'm not gonna say anything.

1586
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean again, he definitely could have

1587
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: a low up start at the command's still bad. He

1588
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:10,919
Speaker 2: did the cool thing this year, made an adjustment where

1589
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 2: he was never able to throw any strikes that was

1590
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 2: problem for whatever. He slowly dropped his arm slot tiny bit,

1591
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 2: just a few degrees. That helped him get a little

1592
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 2: bit more drop on his sinker turn into a pitch

1593
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: that's now become his primary pitching his right handed bathers.

1594
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 2: Just in general, literally, if Edward Corbrera, the only thing

1595
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 2: he needed was strike one, because he throws one hundred

1596
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 2: miles an hour. He has the insane change up. I

1597
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 2: see him, Come on, you get him?

1598
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Yep? Now nice, Finally bag got his ass.

1599
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 2: Let's go. He's got the crazy slider, he's got the

1600
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 2: crazy change up, the curve ball like, there's so many

1601
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 2: weapons off of that and just dropping your arm slot

1602
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 2: teeny tiny bit and a little bit more drop on

1603
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 2: that sinker has just changed everything for him. He can

1604
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 2: get strike one.

1605
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Another thing to note, if Augustine Ramirez catches in this series,

1606
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: the Mets might steal ten bases in one game.

1607
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 2: You stole my next point, that's my guy. The Marlins

1608
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: given up twenty five more stolen bases and every team

1609
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 2: in the league at this point, August Ramirez gives up

1610
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 2: like one, like one point two stolen bases per start.

1611
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 2: He while he's been pretty exciting hither he hits the

1612
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 2: ball crazy hard, he lifted, he pulls it Mark hayshm

1613
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 2: because he used to be Yankee. He's a fucking abomination

1614
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 2: behind the plate.

1615
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: I can't even I don't even get to say my

1616
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: opinions because I don't want to do it right now,

1617
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: but I'll say it after the series.

1618
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 2: This is major rubber meat to the road because that's

1619
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 2: the most efficient based stealing team in the league and

1620
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 2: the Marlins give up by far the most stolen bases

1621
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: and all baseball.

1622
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rest of this team offensively is weird. Uh Yeah,

1623
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Jacob Marcy has been light in the world on fire.

1624
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I don't know how long it's

1625
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna last because under the hood, the stuff's not that sticky.

1626
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: With how hard he hits the baseball.

1627
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 2: Oh are you sure about that? He had one oh

1628
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 2: seven Max Exavilo, that's the max. I know, but he is,

1629
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 2: he's right now through. I think it's like twenty games

1630
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 2: now not also horrendous bat speed. Oh no, the bat speed,

1631
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 2: it's like the same as Mark Fantos. Yeah, seventy one

1632
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 2: miles per hour.

1633
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Bad, it's bad.

1634
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 2: But he's he's that kind of weird guy where he's

1635
01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: got the square up like. I don't think he's going

1636
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 2: to I think he MAXs out like a fifteen homer guy.

1637
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: Oh sure, sure, sure, yeah, I mean right now he's

1638
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: got eleven hundred ops. That was kind of what we're

1639
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: talking about.

1640
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 2: But I think he does have the upside to be

1641
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 2: like a near eight hundred ops guy because it's so

1642
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 2: much it's so much contact and he's so good to

1643
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 2: getting the bath head on the ball. He literally never

1644
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 2: ever chases.

1645
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: But he shrinks out thought.

1646
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 2: He swings a lot boys boys, A hacker.

1647
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he plays a nice center field, there's no

1648
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: doubt about that.

1649
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 2: And he's fastest shit. Another cold weather guy too. My

1650
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 2: boy Central Michigan Chippewa.

1651
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Eric Wagerman takes war hacks. If you guys want to

1652
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: see someone who's gonna take the hardest swings you'll ever see,

1653
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: He's up there, ery Berto or Hernandez. He was a

1654
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: guy who was fun. What was his original trade, because

1655
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: he was it was was basement Rangers.

1656
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 2: What was his name?

1657
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got traded for a basabe, so it was

1658
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: it was one before that wasn't it. No, was a

1659
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: slaves basabe to the Rays for Jake Gunther and Nathaniel Low.

1660
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 2: There was one originally too. I really think another one.

1661
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. I'm looking at his transactions.

1662
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 2: Oh, they word too.

1663
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: No, he came from the Rangers, went to the Raids.

1664
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 2: It was a fair Banks trader thin because he was

1665
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 2: range trade too.

1666
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: That went to the Rays and then the Rays had

1667
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: enough of him. So he's an interesting player. What do

1668
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: we got on him? Anything? He's like hitting well, oh

1669
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: he hits the ball hard.

1670
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 2: But he's a he's a hacker. You could just take

1671
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 2: war hacks warck sounds like, don't throw him strikes. Yeah,

1672
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 2: he doesn't chase, but he swings and misses all the time.

1673
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Anything else weird with this team? Oh they got Joey

1674
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Wimer up. Oh really, it's cool checking my boy Joey

1675
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Wimer and Maximo Acosta has been playing a little bit too.

1676
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know too much about him.

1677
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he's if you if you want to look

1678
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 2: for a Marlins guy, it's just a It's like a

1679
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 2: five to nine second base beer. So yeah, Hars knowing

1680
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 2: through two shutdown innings gets the Braves on it. On Wednesday,

1681
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 2: Xavier Edwards through he's been pretty hot over the second

1682
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 2: half after a really bad first half. Liam Hicks, the

1683
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 2: other catch on the Marlins, also like kind of having

1684
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 2: a good year. Yeah, rule five guy, he's maintaining a

1685
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 2: two sixty average and like a league average ops, which

1686
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 2: is pretty so fantastic. I the Lopez I remember, remember

1687
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 2: we saw him earli in season. People like is becoming

1688
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 2: a star? He's not.

1689
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: He's a good ballplayer.

1690
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 2: Sure, he plays a good he plays a good enough shortstop. Yeah,

1691
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 2: remember to catch day Meyers made or that Derek Hill.

1692
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 2: I say, fields man, that serious was the last time

1693
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 2: we played.

1694
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: I really don't like this question.

1695
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 2: No, I don't like this one.

1696
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: I pleaded the fifth.

1697
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 2: Alright, that's fine, fair, fair, But that last time we

1698
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 2: played this team was like forty one degrees. Give me

1699
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 2: the sense of how long.

1700
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: It was the last game that we played against him.

1701
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: I was sitting in the Cadillac Club with Wardy Yeah,

1702
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: freezing your ass off, yeah, which was insane. I couldn't

1703
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: believe that.

1704
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 2: But again, without Kyle Stowers, the lineup definitely lose a lot.

1705
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 2: But after Adam Maser Perez carbrera a contra, that's that's

1706
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 2: that's three. Those are three very serious, stunning pictures. Those

1707
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 2: are three startling pictures where if the Marlins get any

1708
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 2: luck with some of these guys they're developing or just

1709
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 2: a full year of stours and like Marci together possibly

1710
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: like a two three guys in the lineup, they're probably

1711
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 2: only like two if they could actually keep those guys.

1712
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Those pictures like probably two years away from actually like

1713
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 2: relatively competing to Marlin standards.

1714
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: Yea, and I mean get to that bullpen too. Puns hittable,

1715
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:01,959
Speaker 1: very very hittable.

1716
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 2: Incredibly hellable. But his time what?

1717
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, I misread who this guy was. Okay, I

1718
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: was confused for a second. Who was pitching?

1719
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 2: I think it's a I think it's time to close

1720
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 2: it out and the only way we know how to.

1721
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, I wasn't lying. I'm sorry. Hold on,

1722
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Zuber former met Twitter Ki, Yeah he is, Yeah,

1723
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: does on the Marlins, and also Tyler Phillips if you

1724
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: guys haven't seen the viral clips of him, beats the

1725
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: piss out of himself before he comes onto the field,

1726
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: slashs the shit out of himself.

1727
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 2: Slaps himself the face like a lot all right. Before

1728
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: we get to the long way to Frankie Peppers, who

1729
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 2: was once again saved the season with the Bolognes recipe.

1730
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 2: I want to shout out one listener who sent us

1731
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 2: a very nice DM on Instagram, Miss Jody.

1732
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: Shout Jody, Shout Out. Jodi.

1736
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 2: and knowledgeable about the game. You're both obviously educated and

1737
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 2: good men. I appreciate you. Most of the Mets podcast

1738
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:02,640

Speaker 2: man like that.

1741
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: That's it's a good one from an outside source, usually

1742
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: like your parents. But you're a good man totally.

1743
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 2: Maybe that's maybe just crush the six to sixty plus division.

1744
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: If you're a sixty plus woman, let us know if

1745
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:15,240
