Speaker 1: put them at his kitchen table or whatever his dining

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: They're like, why did you put their names on? There? Goes,

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: I get confused sometimes I need to remember what you

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: look like. He's an absolute electric factor. He sent me

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: a personal video of him feeding us the food. I mean,

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: Frankie Pepper's You're one of a kind. Can't wait to

34
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: hear what he has to say about the series here

35
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: at the end. But James, how are you feeling? What

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: do you got to say?

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: I feel great, Loopy. This is one of our latest

38
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: recordings in a while. We're starting off here at midnight.

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: We're having a good time. Just come off a cheft,

40
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Mark have fantasy football draft. We're just feeling good. And

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: also we did it a great, great night at the

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: ballpark on Tuesday, one of our best Nights of the

43
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: Ballpark at the year, just an amazing sweet. Mark had

44
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: a couple of cors lattes just dipped by the hand

45
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: right into his bucket.

46
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: No, don't. They might have listened. They don't just listen.

47
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: We're on the field. It appears they're listening off the

48
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: field too, because those cours lights they were crisp, they

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: were cold, and they were out the tap, which respect

50
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: that I know germs this time.

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: All right, that's amazing. But that's a fucking rolling right now.

52
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: Seven wins in a row. We truthfully needed a win

53
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: streak like this, just because you had to keep pace

54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: with all these teams playing so well. And the Mets

55
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: have responded with some major heat. They dissed themselves from

56
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: the Cubs, distance themselves from the Cardinals, and we're just

57
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: ready ready for the Braves to play. One good team,

58
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: play one good team and let us just make up

59
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: some damn ground here. Even the Padres just or I

60
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: just watched them raise of five nothing leaders waiting for

61
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: the fantasier fantasy draft. The Diamondbacks early leading the Giants.

62
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: These teams don't lose, but doesn't matter because right now

63
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: we don't lose either. Amazing sweet against the Red Sox

64
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: team that I think objectively sucks.

65
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, uh, they they looked really bad. I know

66
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: that they have exceeded expectations this season, and you were,

67
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: you were a little more hip to the Red Sox

68
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: than most of that, they would be able to at

69
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: least be better than a count of five. Yeah, than

70
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: a complete basement dweller like push. But they don't particularly

71
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: play good baseball, and watching them play this series, you

72
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: could see that their bullpen kind of similar to the Mets,

73
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: where they just walked everybody in. They don't particularly play

74
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: good defense. They don't faces that well. They're aggressive, but

75
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: they don't really run the bases that well, and their

76
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: lineup is just weak top to bottom. They have good hitters,

77
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: but then like you sprinkle in Rob Refsnyder and you're like, listen,

78
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: he might be playing well, but I have no fear

79
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: when that guy get steps to the plate.

80
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam with Roe, m Gonzalez, Daniel Jansen, So don

81
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 2: Rafael though that a lot of people seem to love.

82
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: I think he's just an okay guy.

83
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Did you hear Gary keith Ron? Again? I love them,

84
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I love GKR. But they were talking about like who's

85
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: gonna be the rookie of the year in the American League.

86
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: And they're like, Rafael has got a good shot. I'm like,

87
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: will here a bray you is on the same team

88
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: has an OPS one hundred points higher. Is just a

89
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: better player? What is the fascination with sad Don Rafael, who,

90
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes is a twenty fifth, twenty

91
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: sixth man on most rosters. Like he's fast, is that it?

92
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: He's a little bit in twenty through twenty six man?

93
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: He still plays. He plays shortstop. Not again, he plays shortstop.

94
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: He does that. He's he's quite a good center field there,

95
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 2: even though they really have one of their team. He's again,

96
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: Raphael is a fine player. But I just think a

97
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: guy like him who's like, wow, fourteen home or seventeen

98
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: steals gets kind of trapped in like the uh in

99
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: all like the narrative base discussions too much is out.

100
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Of the nine hole. Don't forget that that's start that

101
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: the old guys can have.

102
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: Guys are good batting average and scoring position. But also

103
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: it doesn't take a walk. But stuff about this Red

104
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: Sox team, they're they're they're just very bizarre. I don't

105
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: know what. I don't even know what their path forward is.

106
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: They got a lot of good prospects, but who knows

107
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: where the hell this team winds up in a few years.

108
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: Talk about the Mets. This was another fantastic series by

109
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor, by the starting pitching, by the bullpen by

110
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: Jesse Winker. It's just people are coming at at the

111
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: left and right, trying to trying to make an impact

112
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: for this team, and it happens for everywhere.

113
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's start off with Game one, Labor Day, a

114
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: little nighttime Labor Day game, Luis Severino going up against

115
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: Brian BeO, and it was it was a bit of

116
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: a picture's rule for the first shootings, but luckily the

117
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: Mets to get to Bao, who his stuff. I get it.

118
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: It's it's nasty. It moves so much, and I don't

119
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: understand how he gets hit like he does. But got

120
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: off Francisco ind Door, Shout out Luis Terrenz, shout out

121
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Nemo. Like Frans, coins had a bunch of big

122
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: hits when we needed it. It was a relatively easy win,

123
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: which was which was nice. It was calm, it was cool.

124
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: If I remember correctly, we didn't trail in this series.

125
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Uh, I think we never.

126
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: We never trailed Monday. We never trailed Monday, we never

127
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: trailed Wednesday. We might have trailed Tuesday briefly, but I

128
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: also don't know if we didn't.

129
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: Because Lindor had to our on home run two. Nothing there.

130
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: It is true.

131
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: Yes, I've never trailed in the series. So wow, that's

132
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: that's it. I guess it was pretty easy. Also, this

133
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: Monday game, he mentioned Terrenz interesting that this was the

134
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: first time he started back to back games in about

135
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: two months, and he had two doubles for it, and

136
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: then Alvas came off the bench, and then Wednesday he

137
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: had this two hitsy. I looks like put together a

138
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: couple more at bats, a lot of singles that we

139
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: know Eric Chavs loved. But again, it's just it's they

140
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: just won. It was kind of easy. Lindor a couple

141
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: of hits go, He's just he's just so fucking good. Also,

142
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: Marte the double play early Nimot a couple of a

143
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: couple of doubles. Marte just got another annoying series. I

144
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: think now we're getting to a point with Winker where

145
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: he's hitting so well. That's causing some It's definitely causing

146
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: some interesting debates with cars. Mendoza draws up the lineup card,

147
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: especially with how bad Bata is playing, because you kind

148
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: of can't take Winkraft lineup anymore. He's almost too good.

149
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: I think against lefties, you probably never.

150
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll never play against left, ye'll against right.

151
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: But now it's a conversation with Marte or Tyrone Taylor,

152
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: because Tyrone's been just getting like big hits like he does.

153
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: I know he's still not consistent enough, but neither really is.

154
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: Starling Marte and Tyrone Taylor does give you just so

155
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: much better defense. And when this lineup is hitting as

156
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: well as it has been for the last couple of weeks,

157
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: you probably just take the defense over the bat in

158
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: that spot. Right.

159
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, because you could kind of feel

160
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: the difference between those two things between Monday and Monday

161
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: and Wednesday. When Monday the defense was bad because Nima

162
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: was playing centerfield, Nim also starting center field Tuesday, you

163
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: could just see that he's not he's not a bad

164
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: center fielder, but he's definitely not even as good as

165
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: he was probably two years ago. And Harrison Better is

166
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: gonna say out there, Yes, he looks a lot worse

167
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: compared to Bata. There's not having enough to be in

168
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: the line up. But the Mets outfield defense on Wednesday,

169
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: they cut off three balls in the gap that all

170
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: would have been I mean, then we'll had the one

171
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: down the line there with the tow and center field

172
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: by Bay there. McNeil had the really nice play down

173
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: the line too. On Tuesday nights, you could feel the differences,

174
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: like the oscillations in the defense, like the but this

175
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: is loop episod. I'm sorry, guys midnight, but you could

176
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: feel how up and down this outfield defense can go,

177
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: just literally depending on if Harrison Beata's standing on the

178
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: field and if talking today is standing on the field.

179
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: They're not. And that's that part is like you could

180
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: see it and annoying, but I see the logic between

181
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: all the decisions.

182
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: I think what's really cool too is and this is

183
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: something that we've talked about for years now, like the

184
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: Mets using all twenty six men on their roster to

185
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: their full stability, and the fact that they've got McGill

186
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: second base, they move them to the outfield. They bring

187
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: Beata and they got Tyrone Taylor, you can bring Marte Winker.

188
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: Like all these guys are moving around and being used

189
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: in such the right ways and the right situations. Again,

190
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: we've we've talked about Mendoza at times has tried to

191
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: push the button a little bit too perfectly. But in

192
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: that same regard, they do have a team that is

193
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: full of players, and it seems like Mendoza is going

194
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: to use these guys every single game possible as long

195
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: as the situation fits, and even goes to the bullpen

196
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: with Danny Young. He spoke to I think Tim Healy, Yeah,

197
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: to Tim Healey after the game on Thursday night, because

198
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: he got some huge outs in this series. Danny Young,

199
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: he pitched really really well. Be getting huge ass for

200
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: a month strike, I know, but he was, I mean

201
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: like he was coming in the eighth inning in these situations,

202
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: and that's something that I think one if you told

203
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Danny Young at the beginning of the year, he would

204
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: have laughed. He's like, I'm trying to make the team,

205
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: let alone pitch the fifth inning when we're down five.

206
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: But he came in, got some huge outs, getting Raphael

207
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: Devers out, getting Tristan Cossas out, but also in the

208
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: same regard, he talked about how Carlos Mendoza, as soon

209
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: as Danny Young was on the team in May, making

210
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: his first appearance, said I'm gonna use you whenever you

211
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: could come in the fifth, you could come in sixth, seventh, eighth,

212
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: when the lefties are in the game, you have a

213
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: chance to be in. And Danny Young talked about how

214
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: refreshing that was and how comforting it was to know

215
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: that at any moment he could be used. So you

216
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: have to be ready at all times, and that's something

217
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: that we've seen with Mendoza. He will use anybody in

218
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: any situation. Went to Automotovino in games, he went to

219
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: Oscar Bras bonding games. This team has been very fluid

220
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: and it's refreshing to see them use all twenty six men.

221
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: It's funny too, because even going all the way back

222
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: to Carlos Mendoz's introductory press conference, when once up by

223
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: a time had had the media credential still and I

224
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: was there and I had a hand up, and that

225
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 2: should that should have known. That was the beginning and

226
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: the end, because the Mets pr did not call on

227
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: me when I have my hand up to ask a question,

228
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: and that when that I had to talk now of course,

229
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: not no way, not not their own podcast person, but

230
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: the thing that David Star has kept going back to

231
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: about why Mendoz was the guy, why Mendoza was the

232
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: guy for his ability to communicate, and that seems so

233
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: evident every single day that things happen with this team,

234
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: and every single time that we think something's going wrong

235
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: or we think something's not on the right spot, they

236
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: always find a way. Like, yeah, Mendoza said this. Mendoza

237
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 2: said that just that that openness, you could feel it

238
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 2: with the entire team. Winker talked a lot about it

239
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 2: that after the game on Wednesday too, where he was

240
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: just like I've never been a clubhouse like this. Like

241
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: every single day we can't wait to get to the

242
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: ballpark and like be together and like work together and

243
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: hang out and do things. You could just feel the

244
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: joy from all the entire roster. That's like eminated. They

245
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: had picture day on Tuesday, and these dudes were hilarious,

246
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: Like they were like, let's do a silly one, like

247
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: I don't think most playoff teams like let's take a

248
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: silly picture like it's just it's it's crazy, it's working,

249
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: and it's to lean into it because that is something

250
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: that's really, really, really important to this team right now.

251
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and everybody is stepping up. Everybody that comes to

252
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: the game is doing something impactful. Like on Monday night again,

253
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: Severino was great. I'm sure you're gonna talk about him

254
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more on the pitching side, but Danny

255
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: Young to get those two strikeouts, big outs in the

256
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: eighth and then philm Mayton filling in as the closer

257
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: because Edwin he hasn't been used three days in a row,

258
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: he'd been used four out of five days, whatever it

259
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: had been. Pilm Mayton came in and it was one, two, three,

260
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: two strikeouts. Like all these guys are stepping up. And

261
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: this is what's so great about David Stern's teams, about

262
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: modern baseball built teams. You just you fit the pieces

263
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: of the puzzle in and it doesn't really matter if

264
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: guys have specific roles or not. The guys step up

265
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: when they're called upon.

266
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: And more things that Stern said in the offseason that

267
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: have come through so heavily in the season. Everyone said

268
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: about Stern's like he seems like sneakier, like a snake,

269
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: and like you can't really read what he's saying. He

270
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: is so honest and he is so forthright. Every single

271
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: thing he says is like, that's exactly what's happening. He

272
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: gave that quote at the Winter Meetings that I had

273
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 2: dubbed into them into the podcast a few months ago,

274
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: where he was like, the truth with the mother bullpens,

275
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: like it's like a it's like an organism, it's a

276
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: live Like your bullpen in April is not same as

277
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: your bullpen June bullpen jew is not same as one

278
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: in August, and no one's gonna know what the ball

279
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: is gonna look like in September. That's exactly what's happened

280
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: with this bullpen. Like and you could feel that with

281
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: Danny Young. Listen to this the bullpen right now. This

282
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 2: is the bullpen for the Mets right now.

283
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: And then I'll pull up opening day bullpen, so Edwin Diaz,

284
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Jose Budo, Film Maton Reidgarrett, Danny Young, Ottavino, Stank, Alex Young,

285
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: Wasascar Brazo. Bon Let me let me find the opening

286
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: day bullpen, because it is going to be what only

287
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe two guys that were on the opening day roster

288
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: and Diaz and Ottavino, go figure.

289
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of them shouldn't be Oh yeah, try and

290
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: find that. But just it's it's so like he said

291
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: that and he's delivered. It's exactly what has happened, like

292
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: very in front of our eyes, like happening on the

293
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: fly altogether. And still I still don't think this bullpen

294
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: is necessarily good. No, but but we went through three

295
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: games this series with the bullpen, gave up one total

296
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: run and it was just that one. Jose Buda rum

297
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: would my Dozes tried, he got the bullpen.

298
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: I've got the bullpen. Brooks Raley, Jake Diekman, Jorge Lopez,

299
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: Drew Smith, Michael Tonkin, Johann Ramirez. None of them are here.

300
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: I know Brooks Rally is because of injury. But literally

301
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: the only guys from opening day still in this bullpen

302
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz, Adam Adovino. One of them is one of

303
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the best closer in the legue. One of them is

304
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: hanging on by the skin of his teeth. But you

305
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: know what pitched.

306
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, definitely. And Winker actually I don't know if

307
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: you saw it, but he lets a comment slip about

308
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: the bullpen to Galvezy moon Face after the game. It

309
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: was like, you know, how does it feel like like

310
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: in the late innings are that rally? He was like,

311
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: you know, we always want to get more runs with

312
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: this bullpen. I was like, oh, he didn't. Definitely didn't

313
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: mean to say that, but it's not untrue like it was.

314
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: We were texting about it, like you didn't feel very

315
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: comfortable in that game with four runs. It felt like

316
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: if the Mets are either willing to score their fifth

317
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: run and win, or they weren't and this game is

318
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: going to either go to the extratings and they were

319
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 2: going to lose it and they wind up having the

320
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: rally and doing that and winning that. But back to

321
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: the game. One day, I just talked about SEVENO. It's

322
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: amazing what he's been able to do this year, bouncing

323
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: back and being a legitimate workhorse, Like the fact that

324
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 2: he is where he is an innings pitch. I want

325
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: to get the exact number right now because I think

326
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: he's like, he looks like he's on pace to approach

327
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: about two hundred, which for a guy like Severino who

328
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: has not done that in forever. I want to get

329
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: exactly where's at right now. He's at one fifty nine

330
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: to third right now. So let's say he makes he

331
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: makes five more starts, he's gonna get about one a

332
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: minimum between one ad and one ninety five. He hasn't

333
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: thrown a hundred and niney innings since twenty eighteen. Twenty

334
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: eighteen mark six years ago. You still had a year

335
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: of college left.

336
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Yes, I did. I was.

337
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: I was in the first senior year during the first

338
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: in your year. But he's been able to do that.

339
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: I know sometimes effectingness goes up and down, but you

340
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: cannot understate how much one hundred and sixty really solid

341
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 2: game like keep you in the keep you in a

342
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: game innings count for a team over the course of

343
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: a year. And the fact that the met side of

344
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, you're gonna sign this guy Severino. You

345
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: need pitchers who are actually gonna pitch. Doesn't fucking matter that.

346
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: We don't know if pass injuries don't always digt their

347
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: future injuries. Sometimes they make them more likely for sure.

348
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: But another thing David Stern said, we think we know

349
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: how to keep him healthy. Maybe he was just fucking

350
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: flapping his gums and it's a bunch of nonsense bullshit,

351
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: but it was true because they've kept him healthy. And

352
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 2: the other thing with Severino, which I harped on like

353
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: a month ago and I'm back to it now, it's

354
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 2: the fucking sweepers.

355
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: Yep.

356
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: That pitch is disgusting, and every time he throws that pitch,

357
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: at least fifteen times in the game, he's awesome. Nineteen

358
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: times on Monday shut down the Red Sox line It's clockwork.

359
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: When he throws that pitch, he strikes out more batters,

360
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: he allows for your base runners, and he lasts fewer runs.

361
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: And this Red Sox lineup was loaded with lefties Jared Duran,

362
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: William bre You, Devers, Cosas, Yoshida, Emmanuel Valdez. Like six

363
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: of the nine batters I think in this lineup were lefty,

364
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: and he was still so effective being able to use

365
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: that sweeper. We talk about this every episode, but the

366
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Mets are really fucking up this pitching market for free

367
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: agency because they're just having a bunch of guys that

368
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're gonna be like Luis Severino

369
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five hundred eighty inchs Sean and

370
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: I one hundred and seventy five hundred eighty innings and

371
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: you were not expecting those guys to come on to

372
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: the free agent market and b dudes who are gonna

373
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: be looking for multi year deals and deserve them deserve

374
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: like based on how they performed easily.

375
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Jeffer Heffarn, David ser is making a lot

376
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: of the guys a lot of money for probably other teams.

377
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: So but Sevriana Wilson this game, it wasn't even like

378
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: he had pinpoint command. He was just throwing pitches. They

379
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: were just missing it, like he was just like it

380
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: was like fuck you several like old school Severino, And

381
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: he doesn't have that kind of stuff anymore. So I

382
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: definitely don't want him to have this approach against better teams.

383
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: But if he's still just sitting ninety eight and he's

384
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: drowing this kind of stuff, like literally, why the fuck not?

385
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, why the fuck not? So yeah, Monday, great game,

386
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: good win. Tuesday, great game, good ballpark. Boys in the ballpark,

387
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: Like we said, five dollars Beers, Coors Lights, five dollars

388
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: hot Dogs. Also, don't forget Kate Corner three dollars Corters

389
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: lights before the game.

390
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: No one knows that. And Kay Corner actually put on

391
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: music this time for the first time I think all season.

392
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: They were playing sexy Red.

393
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, sexy Red, and then they also switched it up

394
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: to like that teddy guy. I don't know what his

395
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: name is, but he seems like a very like folky

396
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: love song or something like that, a lot of a

397
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: lot of pain and anguish in his voice.

398
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounded the orchestral. Also, I just remember were talking

399
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: about music. I want to shout out the boy Jordan Jr.

400
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: Simpson On Monday, he came and sang before the game,

401
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: like the little stage that they put mess up like

402
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: near the Apple in front of the Cydney Field, with

403
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: what he said was his favorite band. Who's also some

404
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Lawrence the Band. So that was really cool.

405
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: Jeorge the man, he's one of the best people in

406
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: the Mets community, and I was I was just happy

407
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: to see how happy he was, like he's our friend.

408
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: That was great.

409
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: Now, as for the game, where do you want to

410
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: start first? You want to talk about Peterson first, or

411
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the offense first. I'm gonna

412
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: let you pick here.

413
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk about the vibe in the stadium because

414
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: I thought it was really great. People were locked into

415
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: this game. I didn't. I don't think it was the

416
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: biggest crowd because still, you know Tuesday night when school

417
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: starting up so hard, people just commute and get to

418
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: get to the ballpark all the time September, but man,

419
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: people were feeling it. Those home runs like you could

420
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: feel it, the MVP chance for Ciscal Indoor, you could

421
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: feel it. David Peterson's strike out numbers are going up,

422
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: and you could feel it. People were on the on

423
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: the money at this game. The Mets had a bunch

424
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: of new graphics on the board to a bunch of

425
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: new animations. They're ready for the stretch run as well.

426
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: It's just you could feel a lot of nice things

427
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: coalescing right now, and that's I think that is something

428
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: that's really exciting for this team.

429
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: Shout out Josh Rosenman. The new graphics were great. Those

430
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: were fantastic. We know his grad at department. They were

431
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: really good. And they were doing let's go Mets chance,

432
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: which I liked. We had the MVP chance. They brought

433
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: back the old guy who I don't I don't know

434
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: what it's from, but He's like, it's.

435
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: Not back to the future, is I don't think so,

436
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 2: He's like streaming.

437
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: From the windows or whatever. Let's go Mets. That was great,

438
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: good vibes all around, and it also started because David

439
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: Peterson on the mound.

440
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: Fucking dude, dude.

441
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: What what the fuck is happening? What is going on?

442
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: This is like, this is crazy. I've been doing it

443
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: to you purposely his last four starts. I don't know

444
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: if you know this. I'm like, all this dead David

445
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: piece is finally an all kind yeah, Michelle, but but

446
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

447
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: I feel the exact same thing.

448
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: I I feel it a little bit. But now these

449
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: last few starts, it is starting to feel, I think,

450
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: significantly different. And I think a big reason is because

451
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: now David Peterson is suddenly just striking the entire world

452
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: out eleven strikeouts, most he's had in a game in

453
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: his career, twenty swings and missed the second most had

454
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: in a game his career. Do you remember the time

455
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: he had the most swings and missus in his career?

456
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: Raise It wasn't. That was the third most. This was

457
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: a game against the Braves September nineteenth. Gaves two thousand

458
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: think you said raise two who So we must have

459
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: been just sitting in that sitting that apartment in a

460
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: story of watching this game. I literally don't have a

461
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: recollection of this game. I don't not even one. September

462
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty oh. Also again, just we're gonna talk

463
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: about the Dodgers fans a little bit towards the end

464
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: of the episode, but just to just to remember how

465
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: stupid the sixty game season really was, because if the

466
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: Mets played sixty game season, we were what like twenty

467
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: one and twenty and like twenty nine or something. That's

468
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 2: not that's fifty games, that's not sixty games, but we

469
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: were under five hundred. We with the suck. Nothing is

470
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: what happened sixty games. Just to go to show you

471
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: how stupid anything anyone who ever talks about anything that

472
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: happened in sixty game season could possibly be. But back

473
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: to David Peterson, this is just it. It's fucking crazy

474
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: was happening. This guy. The Mets are fourteen three and

475
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: games he started fourteen three And this is gonna come

476
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: with a bit of a caveat because something my dad

477
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 2: told me, I think you experienced this too, where sometimes

478
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: my dad tells me things and I'm like, that's probably true,

479
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: Like I think you definitely read it somewhere, but I

480
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: don't know exactly where you read it, because sometimes again

481
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: you've told me your dad struggles is too my dad's twether,

482
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: you're down on Facebook where it's just like you'll see something.

483
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: And we we were born in the dark age the Internet,

484
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: like we understand how they go through the go through

485
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: the muck because we were built by it. But the

486
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: older generation they don't really always know that. Sometimes it's

487
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: hard to tell, like trade deadline season is bad. My

488
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 2: dad told me a couple of months ago, who what

489
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: trade was it? And were sitting into the field that

490
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: was ridiculous, like sow it was like South Forrilick for

491
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: AJ Puck or something.

492
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: I think it was South for like someone not good

493
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: And we're like, no, they did that.

494
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: Je Buck's been amazing since trade deadline. But back to that.

495
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: But so, David Pearson came back late this season because

496
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: he had the hip surgery. Apparently he has said V

497
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: and my dad probably via the Daily News, so seventy

498
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 2: percent chances is true that he said he would get

499
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: very tired later in games with this hip, it was

500
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: harder for him to sustain his energie and would get

501
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: fatigued more easily. And I wanted to, like pars through

502
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: some data that's parts of some information, and look through

503
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: to see if it is actually true. I went to

504
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: uh Fangrafts. I checked his his pitch velocity graphs, and

505
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: he has much tighter velocity bands and it starts this

506
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: year compared to any time in his career. So other

507
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: times his career he did have higher highs, but he

508
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: had much lower lows. For this year it's much Tiger's

509
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: Keepan's losci more level. And I went back to check

510
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: David Pearson's famous fifth because that was always the ending

511
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: where David Peterson was stop wood would fall apart to

512
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: stop pitching well. And this year he's throwing about a

513
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: mile prower harder both his fourteen fastball and his slider

514
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: specifically in that fifth inning, and sustaining that through the sixth, seventh,

515
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: and eighth innings compared to where he'd been in his career.

516
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: So I think there's some truth to that. And it

517
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 2: seems like Peterson is just literally stronger. He looked stronger

518
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: on the mount physically. He looked stronger on the mount. Mentally,

519
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 2: his command has been fucking incredible. He seemed like he

520
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: figured out or maybe this was the game play going

521
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: into early in this Star on Tuesday, I'm going to

522
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: attack these Red Sox hit. There's lefty and righty with

523
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: fastballs high in the zone, and he kept that fastball

524
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: high in the zone. He only threw two below the

525
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: belt that entire game, and I'm sure those two are

526
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: accidents based on how he was going, what the game

527
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: plan was like. That pitch got fourteen swings and misses

528
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: on twenty swings, fourteen whiffs on twenty swings. David Peens

529
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: fastball seventy percent with fray for David Peterson's ninety three

530
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: mile an hour fastball that doesn't have good vertical action

531
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: or vertical movement at all, but he has incredible extension

532
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: similar to Manaia. So there must be something that the

533
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: mess figure that out video wise with these lefties with extension.

534
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: And also piggyback on that the Red Sox are the

535
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: worst team baseball against left handed pitching. You mentioned to

536
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: all the best haders I left you before, some of

537
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: them don't even play against lefties. Never struggles lie against

538
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: leftist highest strike down in the league and bottom five

539
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: wOBA against lefties in the entire league besides all the

540
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: horrible teams. So I think that was part of the two.

541
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: But it was fastballs high, it was sinkers to the

542
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: lefties low and in. It was change ups away to

543
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: the righties. It was curveballs, dropping for a lot of

544
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: call strikes against guys from both sides of the plate,

545
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: and mixing in the slider when he had to, and

546
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 2: he had all five pitches working both sides of the plate.

547
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: It was it was fucking beautiful. And it's like his

548
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: start like this as like, oh, maybe he's kind of

549
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: good now.

550
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: And I think the thing to me that just stood

551
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: out the most, like you mentioned it earlier, is mentally strong.

552
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: Because Peterson had the ability to sulk a little bit

553
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: at times, it look bad body language at certain areas,

554
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: and he just looks way more confident. I think that's

555
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: even shown in the fact that he's pounding the zone.

556
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: We looked up at the found fifth sixth inning. He

557
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: had fifty five pitches and I think nine of them

558
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: were balls, and I'm like, that's uncharacteristic for David Peterson,

559
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: sort because something he's done in the past is just

560
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: nibble nibble, and it seems like now whatever is happening,

561
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: whatever is going on, whatever the game plan is, he's

562
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: much more confident, attacking the zone a lot more and

563
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: the stuff is working. Whatever this is, I want to

564
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: see this forever. I want to see confident David Peterson.

565
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: He is going to get hit. I'm saying this right now.

566
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: There's going to be a game wheredanid. Peterson is going

567
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: to get hit. He's human, he is not Jacob de Gram.

568
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: But the way that he's pitching right now is just

569
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: such a better version than we've ever seen of David Peterson.

570
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: And it's so refreshing because we got glimpses before that

571
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: slider was so nasty back in twenty twenty two. He's

572
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: had the ability to have these kind of appearances where

573
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: he's a really, really good pitcher and gives you a

574
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: chance to win. But now it seems like it's all

575
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: finally coming together and it goes back to I'm sure

576
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: the health, I'm sure a little bit of Jeremy Hefner,

577
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: and pitching is hard. Sometimes it takes time, and just

578
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: like with all these other mets, guys and a lot

579
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: of pictures. It might just be starting to click right

580
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: now for David Peterson.

581
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: It's also such a thing with specifically tall lefties that

582
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 2: just takes a long time for these guys to click

583
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: and come together. Famously, Randy Johnson wasn't good until he

584
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: was what twenty nine thirty years old. I know, no, no,

585
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm not comparing these two guys. I'm just saying in general,

586
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 2: like into terms of baseball history, tall lefties, it takes

587
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: more time for them to find themselves, repeat their mechanics,

588
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: and find their way. Also, in this game, eighty nine

589
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: pitchers from David Peterson, sixty five of them were strikes,

590
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 2: and yeah, something amazing just the lack of mistakes. He

591
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 2: threw one pitch the entire game to right handed bat

592
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: it that was middle in, and even that pitch that

593
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: was middle in, it was kind of up towards the corner.

594
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 2: So it's just he's not he's executing, his mechanics are

595
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: finally repeatable for seemingly the first time in his career.

596
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: He's showing real positive emotion on the mound, like he

597
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: had a couple times in this game where he like

598
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: screened like exalted, like let out a roar, which I

599
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: don't really remember him ever doing. It's truly fucking awesome.

600
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: This team wouldn't be near where they are without him stepping.

601
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: Up this season, definitely, And just to finish off like

602
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: the pitching side of things from this game too, Jose

603
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: Budo come in the game against big strikeouts, struggled in

604
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: his next inning, but Mendoza pulled him, went to read

605
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: Garrett and read Garrett has been pretty good since coming back.

606
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: He had yeah, really weird stretch with Oakland Miami where

607
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: he gave up those runs. But since what August twenty second, reed,

608
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: Garrett has now made how many appearances this He made

609
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: five innings, six appearances, three strikeouts nowhere and runs, two hits,

610
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: one walk. And that splitter is back to where it

611
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: was at the beginning of the year. He's able to

612
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: get the swings and miss, he's able to get the chases,

613
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: he's able to get that weak contact. He's been really

614
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: big and I don't think we can understand how huge

615
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: that is for this bullpen to have him as a

616
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: useful reliever again.

617
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the big part of that is that he

618
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: is throwing that splitter more because he was throwing it

619
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: a ton of Earlien season. He went away from it

620
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 2: when he stopped being able to put in the zone.

621
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: And now he's throwing it in the zone slightly more,

622
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 2: but it's enough in the zone more to make them

623
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: have to chase to swing at it. And he's mixing

624
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: in a lot more colors. He's fine. He's confident in

625
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 2: a sweeper. He's had a couple of a things. Has been

626
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: really confident in the fastball. There's not that many relievers

627
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: out there. He could comfortably be like, yeah, I can

628
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: go to four different pitches, and it's cool that Garrett's

629
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: able to do that. Also, I didn't know Si because

630
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: we were in the ballpark, but you were talking before

631
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: about just all the lineup flexibility. Suddenly with this team.

632
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 2: Jeff nhil played three positions on us on Tuesday night

633
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: and I was looking up some brains them just stuff

634
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: for Fantasy baseball and content the other day. Jeff McNeil

635
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: since July first is a is about two weighty hither

636
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: with about three fifty on base percent and five WRSC plus.

637
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: So that's staff. Suddenly, guy are like, oh okay, he

638
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: makes twelve million dollars next year, like I don't want

639
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: I don't hate that at all. I mean I don't.

640
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 2: I still don't. I don't love it. No, I don't

641
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 2: love it. It's okay, it's now palatable, but that's that's that's critical.

642
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: And if Yet's hit the big home run, we desperately

643
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: need an insurance run. Pete hit the home run late

644
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: because the game was already out of reach, so he

645
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: can relax and get this big hit.

646
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: I called it.

647
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: You did call it. Ryan Standick looked and not disgustingly bad.

648
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 2: That was cool.

649
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: He looked like a picture. He looked like a guy

650
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: would throw innings at some point.

651
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's back ahead. He's now ahead of out of the

652
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: out of the Veno, in the in the bullpen stink race,

653
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 2: which is great because I think he's significantly better than

654
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: out the Veno. Lindor stole a base because apparently stolen

655
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: base are really important for the MVP race, so he's

656
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: got to try and steal as many as he can,

657
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: despite his legs probably being tired from being in the

658
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: field for nine innings every single game. You know a

659
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: lot of guys a lot of times if a player

660
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: is not in the field, they have a lot more

661
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: energy to steal bases. I figure, so like I think

662
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 2: in the field, you gotta work on that. Like that

663
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: like strength.

664
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: Shout out Buck show Walter. I'm shouting him out again

665
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: for a second episode. He was on MB network and

666
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: listen didn't love Buck as a manager. He says crazy

667
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: stuff on MB network, but he gives you good sound clips.

668
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: I will say that the guy's got some entertainment value

669
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 1: on there, because you don't know what he's gonna say.

670
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: It didn't give him more.

671
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: The reason he was a manager of this team is

672
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 2: entertainment value.

673
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: Of course.

674
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he was a name that everybody knew. He

675
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: was a bad manager. But he's pretty decent on MB network.

676
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't agree with him, but he's good entertainment. He's

677
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: talking about the MVP racing and he's like Lindor's my MVP.

678
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: He goes he can go oh for four and he

679
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: can make an impact still because he's on the field.

680
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: He's playing the field. He's like Shoetani. If he's not

681
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: gonna if he's oh for four, he did nothing for you.

682
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: He didn't help your team one bit. Now I don't

683
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: think has probably gone over four all year, but.

684
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: It probably has how many times I'm gonna do I'll

685
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: look it up the play and we're gonna do it.

686
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna Lindor a glaze suckfest at the end of

687
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 2: this episode.

688
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: But I got, oh god, he's.

689
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: The fucking man. But I was gonna of something else

690
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: about Buck. I was gonna give my favorite, like bucka

691
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 2: fun facts right now. I think a couple of rabble

692
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: him off. One my favorite by far, Buck Showalter was

693
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: fired before either of us were born as a major

694
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: league manager. That's huge, Buck Showalter for three consecutive teams

695
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: he left, and they went to a World Series within

696
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: five years. I think that's really huge. And Mets are

697
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: still in play for that. By the way, we could

698
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: still do that, but don't get me wrong here and

699
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: next fun fact, everyone on this podcast right now is

700
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: tied with Buck Showalter, who wins the championship series? True,

701
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: that's critical. My last Buck show Walter fact he managed

702
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: the last team that the Yankees defeated in the playoffs

703
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: in a full series that was not from the Al Central.

704
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: There is you love that one.

705
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: That's my best, My favorite fun fact in baseball twenty

706
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: thirteen or his baby. Last time Yankees want to play

707
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 2: out series against the team not from the Central There

708
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: it is there.

709
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: It is good game overall, loved it, great time, awesome,

710
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: so good, give me a cheap beer. I'm a happy man.

711
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: I know it's a really good game. When Mark turns

712
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 2: to me on the on the seven train going back,

713
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: when he's like a couple stops to Queensburg, it's like, hey,

714
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 2: you want to go out?

715
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, itching, and I was like, oh man,

716
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: I would love to go out right now. I'm feeling good.

717
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: No, you can't just go out. That's like I gotta

718
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: do it a little bit too. Thinks to where they

719
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 2: go out right now. But fucking great game right now

720
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: at the ballpark. I'm so excited to be back to

721
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: this whole month because these games are freaking important. It's

722
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: awesome they are.

723
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: And then finishing up the series here putting a little

724
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: bow on it Thursday night. Weird game, but.

725
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: Great game, kind of easy, but kind of scary.

726
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we got out to an early lead four

727
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: runs in the first sitting thanks to big Jesse Winker

728
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: and that grand slam. You see he waved to the fans.

729
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: He did a little little homage to the og Jesse

730
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: Winker clip where he waved to the fans after he

731
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: made the catch and hit the home run, hit the

732
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: Grand Slam as he's walking back to the dugout, gives

733
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: a wave.

734
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: He's just so.

735
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Incredibly locked into right now. It's gotta be really refreshing

736
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: for a guy like him to pick like going to

737
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: the Nationals right earlier in the season because he's gonna

738
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: get the playing time, he's gonna get the at bats.

739
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: He's a guy who struggled the last couple of years,

740
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: played really well. You get reward, you get trade to

741
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: a team in the postseason run and you're you're making

742
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: an impact, You're playing meaningful baseball along with getting paid

743
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: like this has to be something that is so great

744
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: for him. After he's hit that home after he hit

745
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: the first metalme run, it seems to have taken a

746
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a monkey off his back, and he's

747
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: just been so awesome at the play. Is at bats,

748
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: even when he doesn't get hits, some of the best

749
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: at bats I've seen in a really long time from

750
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: a Mets player.

751
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: Totally because he goes up. I don't know, I hate

752
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: I hate using this term because we all know we're

753
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: not in the room. But it feels like he always

754
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: goes up with a plan, yes, and he also has

755
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: such an unbelievable mastery of the strike, so he doesn't

756
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: he doesn't expand his own really ever. He kind of

757
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: started that bullshit rally against Kenley Jansen the eighth inning

758
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: by taking two very borderline pitches, two pitches that were

759
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: probably at least one of them where it was a strike,

760
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: those low and inside colors key like a little front door,

761
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 2: little front door guys, sinker color whatever that was. But

762
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: I was sick. I sinker front door. But it's it's

763
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: amazing we've done last fifteen games. Jesse Winker three homers,

764
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: eight run score, ten RBIs since he finally just fucking

765
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 2: clicked coffee from the Boys episode.

766
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: But it's the late one.

767
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: It's a light one. He's great to watch him play baseball,

768
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: and it seems like now that he's, like I said before,

769
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: forcing himself into this lineup. This is the ninth straight

770
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: game he started against the right handed bather after he

771
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: was kind of still platuning a little bit with Starling

772
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: Marte coming back to Tyrone Taylor, Harrison Bay there, But now,

773
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: especially this last couple of days with j D. Martinez

774
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: on the paternity list, He's just I don't I don't

775
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: really want to have a game against the rioty of

776
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: Jesse Winkers. Not then, No, he.

777
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: Simply has to be in the lineup every single time,

778
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: already is on the mound. You can't, you can't not

779
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: have him there. You mentioned the rest of this team

780
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: as well, playing really well, Lindor continuing again, we will

781
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: we will glaze fest or suck fest as James said,

782
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: which I hate that terminology. That's just absolutely worse. But

783
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: it did get a little bit harry because in the

784
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: third inning, Tyler or McGill did the or McGill thing,

785
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: and for a moment because he started the game nice

786
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: started the game a couple of and I was like,

787
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: there he is, are you up? But I'm like, I'm awake,

788
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm here, Tyler.

789
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: He faced seventeen batters in this game and you got

790
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 2: fourteen swings and misses.

791
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: How the fuck did he do that?

792
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: Because his color was awesome. I don't know what he

793
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: did in this game, but the command of that color

794
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: was amazing. He finally, he just he doesn't have like

795
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: a secondary toolbox because like the last game, that game

796
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: against them, the White Sox just shouldn't have counted. But

797
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: the White Sox don't have enough players like actually platoon guys,

798
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: so it was lineup like full of radies. So he

799
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: was just throwing sinker two seamer, two seam or two

800
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: seam or two seamer on the hands. It was a

801
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: great pitch this game. The Red Sox have mostly lefties anyway,

802
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: and stuck a lot more in the lineup against Micguil anyway,

803
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: So he didn't actually throw one of those two seamers

804
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: because they were all lefties. But he threw a lot

805
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: of high fastballs that had a lot of life and

806
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: a lot of those colors. But the slider's not there,

807
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: the curveball's not there, and the splither has never developed.

808
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: So really just became like, get throw enough of those curveballs,

809
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: mix the fastballs, throw those colors low and in. But

810
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: then once the two times around the lineup, because that

811
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: that rally in the third ending came when they saw

812
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: him the second time. Yes, so then Carlson knows like

813
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm not leting see him at their time. This would

814
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: be ridiculous, But again it wasn't like, I don't know,

815
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: he's just he's just quadruple Tyler. That's just Tyler. That's

816
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: kind of it.

817
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: He is an that like maybe it clicks at some point,

818
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: maybe he can like he's a spot starter. But like, truthfully, God,

819
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be so good in the bullpen when he

820
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: gets there.

821
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna be so if he ever actually commits to

822
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 2: doing that mentally, he'll he'll be fantastic there.

823
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: He'll be lights out like his brother.

824
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: You'll have you don't have to face anybody second time

825
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: in the you can out of the bullpen just thir

826
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: ninety eight mile an hour fastball and colors. You will

827
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: get everybody. And then two seamers against lefties you will

828
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: get everybody. Other righties, you'll get everybody out.

829
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: Literally will dominate.

830
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, so he came in. That happened, and

831
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: it got Harry because we couldn't score another run Tanner.

832
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: How wow, talk about fucking settling in. He gives up

833
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: the green, gives up the Grand Slam. Jesse Winker retires

834
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: thirteen bathers with seven straight strikeouts. In the middle of that,

835
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: he looked incredible and I think me you Gary Keith

836
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: Ron was that sex Ning came and he came out.

837
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: I was like, oh nice, thank god he's out of

838
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: this game. We did that low rally in in the fifth,

839
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: but was really happy to see Tanner. How leave this

840
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: game to the eighty four pitches. It still took a

841
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: couple of innings to score, but then we finally just

842
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: we just we just walked around the bases enough to

843
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: enough to win this one.

844
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nice to see another team do this

845
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: to us. Kenley Jansen future Hall of Famer Kenley Jensen

846
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: comes into the game, can't get anybody out, gave up

847
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: a hit, four walks or three walks for in runs,

848
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: and then they brought in fucking they carried him in,

849
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, in a coffin Rich Hill, And I respect

850
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,239
Speaker 1: the fuck out of rich Hill. That guy is a

851
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: baseball lifer. He's an all some dude dick Mountain. But

852
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: there is no world where he is he sturuld be

853
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: on major league roster at all.

854
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 2: Where Ah, We're gonna remember Richell for like the rest

855
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: of our lives. Like we're we're like we're gonna do

856
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 2: the game when we're like in our fifties, like sitting

857
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: around naming athletes and like, Richell's gonna comeupa be like, oh,

858
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: fucking Rich Hill was the man. Richell's gonna be ninety

859
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: at that point. Remember when Rachel had that perfect game

860
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: through nine against the against the Pirates and the zero

861
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: zero game, I think was a good dueling show that

862
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 2: with Mitch Keller. I was like, I fucking love Richell, dude, Like,

863
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: but yeah, he came into that game immediately walks McNeil

864
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: on four pitches and then Alvarez draw the seven pitch walk,

865
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: and then Harrison Bather shout out, Harrison Bayther after three

866
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: straight walks, Rachel can't throw a strike. You fucking swing

867
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: the first.

868
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: And it was a ball. It was not gonna be

869
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: called a strike.

870
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: It was a borderline pitch. But I fucking love Harrison

871
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: Bather for that, because you know what, Harrison bay is

872
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 2: a guys like we're winning by four runs. I'm just

873
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: gonna get my I'm gonna get mine right here. I

874
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: can't get a hit. I need to get back in

875
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: the starting lineup. I got probably got the game. I'm

876
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: gonna get mine right here. I'm gonna get it. And

877
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: it was a good sackfly Yeah, Stack fly wound up

878
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: working at that bats.

879
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: Looked better today. His it bats before it looked really bad.

880
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: His bats looked a little more in control, a little

881
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: more of a plan today.

882
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

883
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: Keith said that Baither has been taking like doing hitting

884
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: every single day in the cage with Eric Chavez, like

885
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: every single and yeah, and I think it's at Jeremy

886
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: Barnes as well. And he did a couple after the

887
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: games like, hey, come here, guys, like watch my swing,

888
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: asked me, tell me I'm doing wrong, tell me about

889
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: the approach, tign but everything. I just have to find

890
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: a way to get back on track here. And maybe

891
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: that's part of getting back on track. But that was

892
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: just it was a nice way to relax because this

893
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,959
Speaker 2: game felt tight for a while and then we could

894
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: take a breath and be like, okay, now we have

895
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: an easy win and wait, edwin quick, edwin stuff.

896
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna shout out the bullpen.

897
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: There you go, shout when you shout the bullpen before.

898
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: I won't want to earn run over I think it

899
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 2: was it was that was three two and then.

900
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: Five math, what are you saying?

901
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: One run over nine innings this series of the bay

902
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: There you go you're just naming numbers loopy episode, loopy episode. Uh,

903
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: this was the first time in this night thin because

904
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: Edwin came in. He walked the first batter on four pitches,

905
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 2: which I couldn't even put You text me, well, that's

907
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: on four pitches.

00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: You said, quote Edwind, what the fuck, dude? Was this

909
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: a joke?

910
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 2: And then you look great after that. First time since

911
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,040

Speaker 2: over a true hundred mile an hour. The Messed Up

913
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: podcast does not round up on pitch velocity. We will

00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: Was that one of those series in earlyist that might

925
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: have been the Dodgers series and early September they get

926
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 2: that less save from the eighth inning when Buck brum

927
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: in the eighth thing the one thing, one thing, Yeah,

928
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: the rally had the rally bum the one thing that

929
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: Buck did where he was like, I'm gonna grab I

930
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: think I think a lot of people do this, maybe

931
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: not all of them, Like have jobs and professional sports

932
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: were like, I'm gonna pick one smart like thing that

933
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: I hear and I'm gonna stick to that. It's like

934
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 2: football startings again. There's gonna be a guy at your

935
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: hang at the bar. A team's gonna be down by fourteen,

936
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: score a touchdown. He's gonna be like a go for two,

937
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: go for two. The numbers tell you got to go

938
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: for two here and like all the old school stuff

939
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: tell he never works. That was a Buck day with

940
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 2: bringing Edwin the eighth inning that year. I'm gonna bring

941
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: him in the eighth inning and again I'm gonna let

942
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: him get the three hitterout. That was great and also

943
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 2: through Edward through his fast pitched the season at one

944
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: hundred point eight miles an hour.

945
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I love to see that from Edwins. And

946
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: you know what, shout out the bullpen again. Alex Young

947
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: good job did his job was oban never enough, never

948
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: feel comfortable. He puckered asshole when he comes into the game,

949
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: but he got it done, got a big double play.

950
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: Danny Young, Danny Young, fantastic year right down to two

951
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: seven to film Aton doing the film Aaton experience, throwing

952
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: eighty seven and blowing it by guys, Absolutely love to

953
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: see it. Great series win by the Mets. Three big

954
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: double are a couple of big double plays in this

955
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: game which were huge when the game three in a

956
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: row in the game without them, don't win the game

957
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: without him. Good defense, that's why you play it, That's

958
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: why it's important. Overall, fantastic series by the Mets. One

959
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: of the best played series they've.

960
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: Had all year, truthfully, and it feels good to now

961
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: because it feels like as we get through the season,

962
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: the Mets row twelve gas over five hundred. Now beat

963
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: a team easily that's not a bad team, but that

964
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: you're a tier ahead of Yes, you know what I mean,

965
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: Like see what I'm saying. They're like, yeah, like we're

966
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 2: better than the Red Sox. And now in this years

967
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: you could watch series and be like, we're better than

968
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: the Red Sox. And I think it was either tam

969
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: or Deacomo had that quote about Raffield Devers after the

970
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 2: game on Tuesday, that he just stayed in his uniform

971
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: with the bat in his hands, like staring at his

972
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: locker for like thirty minutes after the game. I was like,

973
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: that kind of sucks, but we've definitely been there before

974
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 2: as Mets fans, so I'm not. I don't feel bad

975
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: for Afield Devers, but definitely sucks to see that happening.

976
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: And I think that's basically it for the series. We

977
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: forget anything obvious here.

978
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: You mentioned Jaye Martinez paternity. I'm assuming he's back this

979
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: weekend because the baby girl was born. I believe in

980
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: Miami flew all the way down there for that, so

981
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: glad to hear that. For JD and his family. Get

982
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: him back in the lineup.

983
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: Days off are great. We win with days off with

984
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: JD even better. Get those legs fresh, those new cleats

985
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: for the weekend against the Reds. We will be previewing

986
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: that series here in a second, But we would be

987
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: doing you guys a disservice if we didn't talk about

988
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: Francis's skull indoor MVP, because it's only getting stronger and

989
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: stronger now. Granted, Joeyotani's also playing still incredibly.

990
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: Good because he's he's crazy. But I know James is

991
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: ready to spit some takes here about why do school

992
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: Indoor is the MVP over show, Heyotani. So I'm just

993
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: gonna let the floor be yours and I'll chime in

994
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: when I feel it's appropriate.

995
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm just fucking tired of this ship. Like, I'm so

996
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: tired of having to go out and defend Francisco Indoor

997
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 2: with my sword in my shield every single day for

998
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: years now. We had the conversation with a high school

999
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: buddy that we ran into outside City Field on a Tuesday,

1000
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 2: and it was him and his buddy and his buddy

1001
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 2: but they're both they're both big Mets fans.

1002
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: But like Murray, shoutout Ferraros and Westfield.

1003
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn gonna say his last name, but yeh,

1004
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: shout out great great, great business. Everyone should go get

1005
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: go get a dish of pasta there if you're if

1006
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 2: you're happy to be in Union County in New Jersey. However,

1007
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: he's definitely more of a casual Mets fan surely, like

1008
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: a lot of Mets fans are. And he was saying

1009
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: that he'd definitely liked Francisco Indoor last few years. He

1010
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: didn't think he was that good or worth the contract.

1011
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: He likes see players with higher batting averages. And his

1012
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 2: friend was like, dude, stop, I've been telling you for

1013
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: years that this is it. Now he's full finally to

1014
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: come to be like, all right, this guy's great. But

1015
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: I think there's finally it's it's finally over. It feels

1016
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 2: like it's finally over. The national discussion is now all

1017
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 2: the way on board of Jessicalendor having the best season

1018
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: of his career carrying this Mets team to the playoffs.

1019
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: Ron Darling was on MLB Network on Wednesday afternoon spitting

1020
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: saying how much for Cisco Indoor deserves the MVP war

1021
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: the over show, Heyotani, everyone is getting in the conversation now.

1022
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 2: I want to just have a couple of things here

1023
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 2: to talk about with Lindor and Otani for a second.

1024
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 2: One is just simply it's going to be really dumb.

1025
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 2: It's innings that these players have been on a baseball

1026
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 2: field this year, all right, yes, yeah, And you want

1027
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: to know the difference in how many innings have been

1028
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: the baseball field this year yet tell.

1029
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: Me, I'm not looking at the notes, so I will

1030
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: be shocked.

1031
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Otani has had six hundred twenty six played appearances

1032
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 2: this year, and five of those play appearances come in

1033
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: innings where his Dodgers battle the round. So he's been

1034
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: on a baseball field for six hundred and twenty one

1035
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: innings this baseball season. Okay. Francisco Indors has six hundred

1036
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: thirty three played appearances this year because you know, also,

1037
00:39:58,880 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: I didn't include the five.

1038
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: You could even count those. Cut those in half because

1039
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: he's not playing the field. It's only hitting. He's played

1040
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: half innings, Shoho Tani.

1041
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: I guess that's true. Halfpenings. Yeah, I'm just gonna say

1042
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: amount of Yeah, Okay, so we're only talking about halpenings,

1043
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 2: half innings that his feet have been on dirt. That's

1044
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: all we're talking about right now. So Shoyotani, it's six

1045
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one half innings that his feet have

1046
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: been on dirt the whole season for Cisco and Dory

1047
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: had six hundred thirty eight play appearances. From what I saw,

1048
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: it was quick and I'm loopy. Three times he's come

1049
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: up on the mess of bath around the season to

1050
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: push that back down to six thirty five, and then,

1051
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: oh my god, will didn't you know it? Twelve hundred

1052
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: and twenty four to two thirds innings that he's been on

1053
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 2: the field, which I don't know how he's been only

1054
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: been on the field for two thirds of an innings.

1055
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: I don't remember him ever this year coming on or

1056
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: off an inning with an out right, Yeah, I remember

1057
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: that one. Don't remember that at all, but that was

1058
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: the Fangraft said. So I don't know whatever we're going

1059
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: with it, but imagine that he's been on the field

1060
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: for two thirds more innings than Shoeo Tani's been on

1061
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 2: the field this year. Then his feet had been on dirt.

1062
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: Shoatani's feet had been on dirt probably his entire baseball season.

1063
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: What like a couple of hours, Yeah, definitely not too long. Serious, like, man,

1064
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: what like two hours and ninety three? Two hours? In

1065
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: like twenty seven minutes.

1066
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: James, If you want to have a tweet that will

1067
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: bang incredibly hard, this is what you have to Yet

1068
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: you have to.

1069
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: You have to time it.

1070
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a catastrophic banger.

1071
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: How many how many minutes Otani's feet have been on

1072
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: dirt this season.

1073
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: You that might be one of the most like baseball

1074
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: tweets ever.

1075
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: But we're talking about twelve hundred more half innings to

1076
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: show her. That's more than double the amount of half innings.

1077
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: So Tani's participated in. It's it's fucking delusional that and

1078
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 2: this is I think the reason why it designated hitter

1079
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 2: has never won the MVP Award because you're not really

1080
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 2: playing that much baseball.

1081
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: Buck Showalter said it best. If you go over four,

1082
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: you do nothing.

1083
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: And we're gonna give Lindor all of his credit after this,

1084
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: but first, I'm gonna keep cognhit by showing Otani so

1085
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: uh shoo.

1086
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: Is difficult to do. I don't know how you're gonna

1087
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: do this, but.

1088
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 2: Well, I'm I don't give a fuck. I'm gonna do

1089
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 2: it right now. I'm gonna I'm gonna throw a nuclear

1090
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: take at your face. Right, Oh, jesus, I don't think

1091
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: it's the most valuable player in the Dodgers.

1092
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: Wow, nuclear, I don't think so.

1093
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: He I'm not even kidding.

1094
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: Don't make me defend him, come on, I do.

1095
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: My old thing is I think I think playing the

1096
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: field is monumentally important. I think most people don't really

1097
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: that most people listen to this podcasts do. Because we

1098
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: watch Fysical and Doorva Single Dame. We see how good

1099
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 2: he is the Dodgers this season without without Mookie best

1100
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 2: in the line for twenty six and twenty it's kind

1101
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 2: of a mid team with Mookie Bester fifty eight and

1102
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 2: thirty five.

1103
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty good.

1104
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: I think that there's a kid. There's a monumental difference

1105
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: between those two things. While Cholo time has been the

1106
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 2: field for all of those games, for some reason, they're

1107
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,959
Speaker 2: they're they're like a seven hundred winning percentage of Mookie

1108
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: bets and like a five to fifty winning percentage without him.

1109
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 2: I think that is kind of a realistic point here

1110
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: with with Lindora Atire for the MVP. The last big

1111
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 2: thing here with Otani again, O Time's fucking amazing. He's

1112
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: probably the most talented baseball player any of us are

1113
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 2: ever going to see, literally in our entire lives. He's

1114
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 2: probably the most talented athlete and what's going to see

1115
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: in our entire lives. A big reason for that is

1116
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: the pitching, with the hitting not doing the pitching this year,

1117
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: so chierott Tani can walk into the ballpark every single day,

1118
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: and he's doing video analysis every single pitcher he's facing.

1119
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: He's looking at pitch, he's looking at game planning, how

1120
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: he's going to be attacked, how they pitch other similar

1121
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: left handed power hitters, inside outside pitch MIxS and different

1122
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: counts in that, And you can also spend a lot

1123
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: of his time watching videos if these guys approach, these guys,

1124
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: set up these guys, pickoff moves, and understanding how to

1125
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 2: steal these basis, because stealing bases, I think, is a

1126
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: mental game that most people don't realize more than a

1127
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: physical game. Just being fast doesn't let you steal basis.

1128
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 2: Stealing basis, you have to know every single step these

1129
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 2: pitchers take and how to do that. Otani is such

1130
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 2: a freak they probably doesn't have to do that as much.

1131
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: He could just wipe the basis because he's so fast

1132
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 2: and so just simply so long he can get the

1133
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: second base and less strides than most people. But the

1134
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: fact that he can spend all that time doing that,

1135
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: where will endors come to the ballpark. He can't spend

1136
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: that time doing that. He has to spend time on defense.

1137
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 2: He spends time with leadership, He spends time with his

1138
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: wonderful dental cherry that he was doing. He did the

1139
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 2: event on Tuesday afternoon too. It's everything is coming together here,

1140
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 2: Like if Ludor didn't play the field, he could probably

1141
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: hit more home runs a steel more basis, don't you think?

1142
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, good chance, right, the theory, the hypothesis

1143
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: tells me he would, so with you maybe maybe he's

1144
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty probably not maybe, And then we talk

1145
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 2: about the fact that, like we do arbitrary end points

1146
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 2: all the time, I get that, of course. Second, ever

1147
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: since Lindor was installed as the metal lead off either

1148
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: I think that was May thirteenth, was the exact day

1149
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: May eighteenth made? I think it was May eighteenth. He's

1150
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: worth almost two war more than show Heyotani, that is

1151
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: such a big difference. I talk about all the time

1152
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: that you know, war is not the best stat I

1153
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: think the way people use war now is a little

1154
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 2: bit flawed because people are like checking the leaderboard every

1155
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: single day this year, who's ahead by a tenth? Like

1156
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 2: Mike Mayer's tweeting them out, like Joe the Mayor's tweeting

1157
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 2: them out. Everyone's like, here's here's who's winning for the

1158
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: war staft by point two.

1159
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: I do my Luis a Rias thing where I just

1160
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 1: take the guys have more war than I'm like, they're better,

1161
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. But that's a that's a that's

1162
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: past the point of error, whereas Francisco Lindor is so

1163
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: much more valuable and show Atani over a strong period

1164
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: of time, this hard is hard to find, Tanya. Anyway,

1165
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: Now we're even getting to a point where the full season,

1166
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: because Lindor has been so blazing hot, it's getting to

1167
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: that point too. He's worth over a half more win

1168
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: than Otani. So now we're getting past the point of

1169
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: error there with WARS. And then even since that point

1170
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: where he's he he's he's been hitting leadoff. He's within

1171
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: eyeshot of Otani's WRC plus he was in five points

1172
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: of it. He's hitting three hundred, Yes, he's hitting three

1173
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: hundred since that point too, with nearly four hundred that

1174
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: base percentage and a five hundred seven percentage. This is

1175
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: this is hitting.

1176
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 2: That is I don't think it's being talked about enough

1177
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: because how awful Star of the season was. Of course,

1178
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: so Lindrort didn't start the year one for forty. I

1179
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 2: don't even think this would be a fucking debate. I

1180
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: think he'd be running away with this and not part

1181
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: of the kind of sucks. But Tani has these cute,

1182
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: amazing numbers, and he has better stats. He's just not

1183
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: more valuable on Forcisco indors. He's not.

1184
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, I'll give you. I'll give you

1185
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: one to help you out too. We love the Fangrafts

1186
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: dollar thing. We've used that in the past and proved

1187
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: how Francisco and is worth so much more than his

1188
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: contract is even valued at because people like to say

1189
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: he's thirty million dollars his worst season with the Mets

1190
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: thirty one point five million dollars in terms of value

1191
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: according to Fangrafts this year, his value on September fifth

1192
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: fifty seven point five million dollars. That's how much he

1193
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: is worth as a player this season, So twenty five

1194
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: million more than he's getting paid. Connie fifty home runs,

1195
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: fifty stole and base all that good stuff worth less

1196
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: money fifty three point four millions, So even the money side, theoretically,

1197
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: Francisco Lidor is worth more. So if this is a

1198
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: true if this is a true value award, which we

1199
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: know it's not half popularity contest, half narrative half there's

1200
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: three half stats, half stats, and the counting numbers are

1201
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: always gonna win.

1202
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 2: That was the jogis and that could be a good

1203
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: sweeed for you.

1204
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: The m V.

1205
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 2: The MVP is fifty percent stats, fifty percent narrative, and

1206
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 2: fifty percent popularity.

1207
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. There we go, and Francisco Indor is

1208
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: more valuable statistically than show. Heyotani right now, now here's

1209
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say this before

1210
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 1: you you go off on show again. Kind of fucking

1211
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: insane that he's he's noticed Francisco Indoor and all he

1212
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: does is hit it.

1213
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 2: It's no, it's unbelievable for Shoe Tani right now purely

1214
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 2: as a hitter is having one of the best seasons

1215
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 2: we've seen the mine era. Basically true. And I'll put

1216
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 2: my hand up and say that.

1217
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: And simply just hitting He's he's basically the same value

1218
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: as Francisco and Door. Kind of crazy, kind of nuts

1219
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: is the other m VP.

1220
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 2: That's insane. That's nothing. I'll I'll tell you this if

1221
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: if Francisco and Doors sat on the bench for two

1222
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 2: hours and twenty minutes every single night. Is like be

1223
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: a lot fresh to steal more bases. There it is,

1224
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: there it is, and another part we're not good enough

1225
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 2: in math. I don't know how valuable stolen base really is.

1226
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: I think it's quite valuable, but it's definitely less valuable

1227
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 2: than like a double. I don't know. You can't just

1228
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,479
Speaker 2: add all those singles to like. I think stole bases

1229
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,479
Speaker 2: are cool, but I don't think they're like just because

1230
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 2: the guy stole fifty bags. I mean, I had this.

1231
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: I I'll tell you this. I I'm true. I'm true

1232
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 2: to my word. I was the same way last year

1233
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 2: with the Cooney vers Mookie Bets. I told you with

1234
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: tooth and Nail, I thought Moki besher than the MVP,

1235
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: And now.

1236
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: Should say that you are. You are true to your word.

1237
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 5: And it's because you play fucking shortstop first stops insane.

1238
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 5: It's so hard to play shortstop be one of the

1239
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 5: best at every single day, and the Door does that.

1240
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 5: And this Mets would fucking suck. Without Francisco, we would

1241
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 5: be horrible. It's the same doggsids I gave to you

1242
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 5: last time.

1243
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 2: I gave it to Eric Simwalsky My Coast and the

1244
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 2: Royal World Fancy Baseball Show today and he was stunned

1245
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 2: by the question. Stupefied. He couldn't even answer it. I

1246
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 2: was like, if you switch the door on Tani right

1247
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: now and their teams, like, how much each of those

1248
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: teams records change? Dodgers maybe a shade better, Mets probably

1249
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 2: about five ten games worst?

1250
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: Truthful, definitely, there definitely would be worse. It doesn't conceptually

1251
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: make sense, but it's it's correct.

1252
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 2: I just he's more valuable. But the big part of

1253
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 2: this come back, bring this full circle. Absolutely none of

1254
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: this means jack shitinn Let's the mess make the playoffs.

1255
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if the Mes's missed the playoffs. Lindor

1256
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: should not win the MVP. No, I'll say that whole hardly,

1257
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: but the Mets do make the playoffs. I find it

1258
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: hard to believe he won't. I mean, I fin hard

1259
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 2: to believe he shouldn't.

1260
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: Don't.

1261
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 2: I still don't think he will, but I think he's

1262
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: much more deserving and a lot of people giving credit

1263
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 2: for it.

1264
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: Will simply be on the backs of Francisco Indoor. If

1265
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: they make it. What the hell is in this There's

1266
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: a huge bug. How do you even get in here?

1267
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: The windows are closed?

1268
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 2: He maybe he's been living in there, he's been growing,

1269
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: he's chilling.

1270
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 1: It looks like a moth. Shout out moths. Yeah, Lindor's

1271
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: incredible moths. Hit streak on bay streak thirty homers eighty four,

1272
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: twenty six sole base eight forty four oh ps two

1273
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: seventy four average for all the average people out there.

1274
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 2: Disgusting, whoa what moth?

1275
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 3: No.

1276
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: For his career, his career slash line two seventy four

1277
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: three forty two average on base right now this season

1278
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: two seventy four three forty three. It's pretty pretty good,

1279
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: hiro guess than his career slash.

1280
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: Line, by the way, and those career slash lines are

1281
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 2: played by the fucking crazy, crazy rabbit ball that was

1282
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 2: happening in twenty and twenty twenty ninety when he had

1283
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 2: the best seasons of his career.

1284
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: I was told he was I was told his best

1285
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: days were behind him.

1286
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: I was saying, it's just bullshit. It just it sucks

1287
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: that like I mean, it doesn't suck. It's like it's

1288
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: just part of the world. I love talking about baseball

1289
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: with everybody on earth, as we do in Twitter all

1290
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 2: day long. But it just sucks that a lot of

1291
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 2: guys this happened Lindor, this happened at Labor Torres. Probably

1292
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 2: has happened with Flat the first time. That happened Flat

1293
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 2: the first.

1294
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: Time Glabor, not as much it happened with It's happened

1295
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: with Flag. Glabor stinks now too, but yeah.

1296
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, it did happen with Glabor.

1297
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: I think people now this year has been horrible, but

1298
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: I think people were unfairly critical of him because he

1299
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 2: got a lot of stats that weren't real because correct,

1300
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: because Rob Manford changed the baseball, didn't tell anybody and

1301
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 2: for two years twenty eighteen twenty nineteen.

1302
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: Probably probably Peede Alonzo too, let's to be honest.

1303
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably Pilonzo a little bit too, But I digress.

1304
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 2: Pilonzo did it for one year. I mean, Aaron Judge,

1305
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 2: now he's so good, you stop it right now. That

1306
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,479
Speaker 2: was fucking around that one. But this also, this brings

1307
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 2: it back into as we do everything up, so it

1308
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 2: brings it back into focus how fucking good Jacob de

1309
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: Gram is because those two years so good. It was

1310
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: toisically the best season that Aaron pitching the history of baseball,

1311
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 2: and I'll stand by that because of howardiculous baseball was.

1312
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 2: But just on door having like the Alreadiot homers, like

1313
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 2: the forty five doubles, it wasn't real because of that baseball.

1314
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 2: But now it's like, this is much more indicative of

1315
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 2: how he is a hitter because it's always in terms

1316
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 2: of the rest of the league. In the fact that

1317
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: the OPS WRC plus all that stuff is bet than

1318
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 2: he's ever been and even better than the Korea's slash

1319
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,959
Speaker 2: line because of those years are inflated. It's just crazy.

1320
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 2: And also just a couple of other things. Two more

1321
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 2: three to five guys that went forty fourthy did not

1322
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 2: win mv pay or two of the five guys, so

1323
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 2: Pan and Barry Bonds lost the Ken Camminitty in ninety

1324
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: six somehow, Someway.

1325
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: That's why. That's honestly probably why he started juicing. He

1326
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: was like, that guy is cheating.

1327
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: That could be that could be the origin story. Also

1328
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 2: because Barry Bonds was a dick to reporters, and the

1329
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: reporters vote on the award, so that was reformed. And

1330
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: also I don't know. My dad told me the other day,

1331
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 2: and Ron Ron Darling talked about it to any other

1332
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 2: ENAB networker during the game tonight, and Ted Williams had

1333
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 2: four hundred, he did not win MV pay.

1334
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: That's fucked up.

1335
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 2: That's fucked up because Joe Demager of the fifty six

1336
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 2: yem History game, the MP for the history, and also

1337
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 2: because Ted Williams was a dick to reporters just going

1338
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 2: door is so nice to reports. He's so nice every

1339
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 2: single day of the reporters, you know who's not nice.

1340
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: I don't think that's not that nice to report this.

1341
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 2: I don't think that's true. I've heard great things about Show. Hey,

1342
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 2: I've heard he's kind of curmuntion me with the reporter.

1343
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 2: It's a little bit. I've heard he's very closed off

1344
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 2: in the past.

1345
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: He's probably he's a private man. I won't I won't

1346
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: slander show Tony's person. No, I'm not gonna Slanders person

1347
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: at all.

1348
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that, you know, I think you know,

1349
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: give the guy who plays the full game. No thh

1350
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: has ever won the MVP awards. Mister smile but everything

1351
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 2: asterisk mets have to make the playoffs, and right now

1352
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 2: they're not in the playoffs, so he's not the MVP yet. True, right,

1353
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: But let's keep fucking going.

1354

Speaker 2: be a celebratory day, momentous occasion.

1378
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: All right, James, do you got the pitching matchups for

1379
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: this Cincinnati Reds team? I actually, I genuinely don't know

1380
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: who's really pitching for them because Hunter Green's hurting. Is

1381
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: Nicolodola hurt?

1382
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure he is, Yeah, Nicoldole's hurt. So as of

1383
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 2: right now, the Reds have not announced, we don't have

1384
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 2: any pictures from the schedule, but I think it's going

1385
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 2: as of right now, we think just based on who's

1386
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 2: pitch the last few days for them. And I'm a

1387
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 2: sick out because I know who's been pitching last few

1388
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 2: days for Cincinnati Reds. But we're gonna have Nick Martinez

1389
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 2: probably pitch against us, and Julian Agie are who Yeah,

1390
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 2: and then the other one I don't know.

1391
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: Carson Spears maybe maybe Tony.

1392
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 2: Spears has beginning boy blitz.

1393
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: We have a chance to get Rett Louder or Brandon Williamson.

1394
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 2: Maybe, Oh, I think we will get red because he

1395
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 2: pitched Sunday.

1396
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: No, Ret's pitching tomorrow against the Astros. What it says, so.

1397
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna miss Rett, So we're gonna miss Rett Lodolo.

1398
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 2: I think it's also on the IL because he's always

1399
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 2: on the Al Hunter Greens on the I l yeah,

1400
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know if this Reds team even

1401
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 2: though who they're where they're gonna pitch possibly this weekend.

1402
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: Possibly what I call somebody up all right, and then

1403
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: for us we've got what Kintana Manaya Severino.

1404
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 2: Again, Catana Mana Manaya, Cantana Severino. They switched Manaya up

1405
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 2: a day and then pushed Severino back the day. No, yeah,

1406
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 2: I push, no move Cantana back a day. I guess

1407
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: given that your day a round, I'll just keep keep

1408
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: an eye on five days. Because he is just so

1409
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 2: fucking locked in right now.

1410
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: Let him cook, of course, to talk about on the offense,

1411
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: Elie de la Cruz most electric player arguably in baseball

1412
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, I think to Homer's sixty one stolen

1413
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: bases eight nineteen oh ps, he's just he's a firecracker.

1414
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: Dude's pistol. He's gonna run really fast, he's gonna hit

1415
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: balls really far. He's gonna make a lot of bad

1416
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 1: plays at shortstop. He's gonna make crazy plays. He's gonna

1417
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: make something that make you go, wow, how do you

1418
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,479
Speaker 1: do that? He's gonna make a lot go or you go, whoa, how.

1419
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: Do you do that?

1420
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: The wrong way? But he's gonna steal, He's gonna cause chaos.

1421
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: Just you can't let him get on base, and you

1422
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: gotta throw the ball out of the zone because he

1423
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 1: will chase. That's a big thing with Ellie here.

1424
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 2: Offishally, I went to a different website. They're saying that

1425
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna actually not get Nick Martinez, gonna be Brandon Williamson,

1426
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 2: and then Jacob Junis, whoa slider guy, and long term

1427
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 2: Jacob jun Is back throw throw sixty five percent slies

1428
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 2: against us. But I think Ellie, I think Ellie gets

1429
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 2: some unnecessary shit with defense because he's such a freak

1430
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: athlete that he gets to so many balls that most

1431
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 2: other human beings would not get to. It's the anti

1432
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 2: Derek Jeter, yes, where he he just gets to everything,

1433
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,479
Speaker 2: but then he just yeah, and then he just Ellie

1434
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 2: has so much rache be my next to other handle.

1435
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 2: But he tries to do things that are like just crazy,

1436
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: Like he'll get the ball in the hole and he'll

1437
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 2: just throw it a million miles an hour with the

1438
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 2: first base and it just probably won't be near the bag.

1439
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,959
Speaker 2: Like that's just that's the way all the Dela Cruz plays.

1440
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 2: But I think he actually stills in that positive on

1441
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 2: defense because yes, like in terms of the numbers, because

1442
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 2: he gets to everything, but it's just he's he's right

1443
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 2: now kind of like just to use one of your

1444
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 2: favorite albums, he's like a bit. He's like a teenage giraffe,

1445
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 2: Like he's an adolescent giraffe. He he's finally getting his

1446
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 2: might and he's feeling his fury, but he's not full grown.

1447
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't really know how to get up to his

1448
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 2: proper speed yet the right way. Yeah, he's he's he's

1449
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 2: a lot of it's still a lot of limbs and

1450
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 2: a lot of chaos. But when he gets to his

1451
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: final evolution, I think that he's he's gonna I think

1452
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 2: next year he's running one year behind the Bobby Wit timeline,

1453
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: just based on when they debuted and literally how old

1454
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 2: they are. I think next year are gonna see Allie

1455
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: the other Cruise play baseball, Like what the fuck just happens? Yeah,

1456
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: like this is this is nally in a short time,

1457
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 2: he's a.

1458
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: Super special player. Might become a centerfielder, I think in

1459
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: the future, especially because the Reds don't really have centerfield.

1460
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 2: But you know, you know, and he's ninetieth penental and

1461
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 2: that's about average short stuff.

1462
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: That's great. Well because I think the arm. I think

1463
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it too, is his arm

1464
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: is so good, but he's he does make a ton

1465
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: of errors, so I don't know how that that lines

1466
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: up or he makes I see a lot of people

1467
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: complain about his defense that watch the Reds, which is

1468
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: confusing because he also is easily your best player.

1469
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: Think I think this is it's because he makes a

1470
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: lot of bad throws. Yes, he makes a lot of

1471
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 2: bad throws, and he's just he gets to everything and

1472
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 2: then so sometimes he just gets to one to clanks

1473
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 2: off club, like make the play, but he just covered

1474
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 2: like six feet in a second and a half.

1475
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: You know, Ellie the Cruise on my favorite players in

1476
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. If I say anything negative about him,

1477
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: it's not because I dislike him. I just have to

1478
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: say both sides because I could. I could glaze the

1479
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: dude for hours basically.

1480
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 2: And you give him my flowers. I was think I

1481
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 2: was the first person on earth to Elie de Lacruz.

1482
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 2: It was four years ago. I watched him take Yeah,

1483
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 2: I watched him taking that bat in the DSL in

1484
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 2: the backfields, right after the pandemic, and I was like,

1485
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 2: this guy is going to be everything. I got him

1486
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 2: in every Dynasty team for that reason. I'm reaping the rewards.

1487
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: We have a former friend coming back to the friendly

1488
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: confines of City Field. That will be a med Rosario

1489
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 1: making an appearance. He has been playing for the Reds.

1490
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: Not particularly good, but he's playing.

1491
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: And also kind of sucks. Dom Smith was cut by

1492
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 2: the reds on Tuesday. Oh yeah, we almost got so

1493
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 2: within a week we almost had two. Shit, we had

1494
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: two shots at Dom Smith and we got Neither of

1495
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 2: them actually came through Beau. He was cut by the

1496
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 2: red Socks two weeks it got true.

1497
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: Wow, dang.

1498
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a shame. But otherwise this Reds team

1499
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 2: is just it's just really Ellie johnthan India.

1500
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: You'll hit a whole.

1501
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna get good Jonathan India content because his

1502
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 2: dad lives on Long Island. He has biceps bigger than

1503
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 2: Mark Andi's head, and he loves he loves the fucking Mets.

1504
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 2: So he's gonna be at this game ready to go.

1505
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: Probably get a little split jersey action. We're also going

1506
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 2: to get inundated with Diaz brother content.

1507
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: As we always do, and how the Met should trade

1508
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: for Alexis Das despite him being I think.

1509
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 2: Pretty horrible this year, uh, worse than he has been.

1510
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 2: He's rounded out a little bit after really bad for

1511
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 2: a few months, but definitely still not like, definitely not

1512
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 2: like one of the best relievers.

1513
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: In the league, some one we don't need to trade for.

1514
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: That's basically what I want to say.

1515
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, you can get definitely much better pitchers for

1516
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 2: much less than.

1517
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: Former Met Justin Wilson making an appearance, I did not

1518
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: realize he's still pitching. That's crazy.

1519
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 2: There you go. And then talking about Spencer Steer. Spencer

1520
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 2: Steers one of the unsung heroes in baseball this season,

1521
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 2: I guess, more so more so fantasy baseball, just because

1522
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: he's been a menace. He's floading the stats right now,

1523
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: He's he's twenty twenty guy just out of absolutely nowhere

1524
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: at Naples nineteen twenty three, thirty doubles, two triples. It's

1525
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 2: only him two thirty. So the batting of people are

1526
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 2: gonna hate that. But this is like the classic Ian

1527
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 2: Hap season and Spencer Steers doing it as a guy

1528
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 2: who the Reds got for was Tyler Moley. I think

1529
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 2: so that Tyler Moley trade is Tyler Male might have

1530
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 2: been him and Christian Ecarnassio, maybe both of them.

1531
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Stephen Jr.

1532
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: Which he's sor soon wherever that happens. But this Reds

1533
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 2: team is just it's just one of the baseball teams

1534
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 2: of all time. Jake Jake Frailey, ty Frantz actually hitting

1535
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: the ball. Well, my arch nemphasis t J. Friedo plays

1536
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 2: good ball, but he's been injured on off this whole year. Yeah,

1537
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: re signs as wild. He just hits the ball. He

1538
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 2: swings as hard as a cant every single time out,

1539
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 2: so a lot of times he misses. When he hits,

1540
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 2: it goes really far. Brinsey Brent toother David Sterens favorite. True,

1541
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 2: we know, we know he loves David Star, David Stearns.

1542
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: Those two are the best. Brent too, that will be

1543
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: a met at some point, probably the next few years.

1544
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 2: Just for no reason at all. I'm trying to find

1545
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 2: an interesting reliever in this in this ballpen, I'm striking

1546
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 2: a little bit. But Sam Mole, Sam Mall the Reds,

1547
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 2: he's a good believer. He slid. The Reds got him

1548
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: last year for Joe Boyle, which was like the A's

1549
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 2: and the Reds being like, let's trade problems and let's

1550
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: see if who could fix the other person. But Maul's

1551
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 2: a fun lefty. He just he throws ninety three. It's

1552
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 2: a lot of the sinker as this big sweeper left.

1553
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 2: He left these with sweepers. Though I'm never that like

1554
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: obsessed with I don't know, I don't see that much

1555
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 2: there right loud, there's fun. You got questions for us

1556
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: to appear in. So Emilia Pegan is still kicking out

1557
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 2: in that bullpen. It's it's it's one of the baseball

1558
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 2: teams of all time.

1559
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had enough of them. Well let's beat them.

1560
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: Let's beat the shit out.

1561
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 4: Of the Reds.

1562
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, beat the shit out of the Reds, all right,

1563
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: here's Peking interviews.

1564
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: While you load up Frankie Peppers, because of course we

1565
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: got to listen to our guy. We do have a

1566
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: couple reviews, and I don't think we've read these August oh, no,

1567
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: August nineteenth, I think that's the last, or August twenty first,

1568
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: maybe hmm, I'm gonna read this one straight shooter four

1569
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: one one. I feel like it's been a couple of weeks.

1570
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: Been listening to James and Mark since the beginning of

1571
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: the season, and can definitely say they're the best baseball

1572
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: podcasts I've tried out. They have great chemistry and incredibly

1573
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: deep baseball knowledge that makes every episode both funny and informative.

1574
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: Their insights into the nuances of pitching and the outlook

1575
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: of various prospect or some of the best in the business.

1576
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: I'd highly recommend this podcast to any fan of baseball,

1577
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: regardless of whether you support the Mets, which I appreciate it.

1578
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: And then this one I actually don't remember reading. Jero

1579
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: O nine says five stars, great stuff, great stuff. Hopefully

1580
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm not repeating myself because I don't see my review

1581
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: on the list. These guys are great. I listen to

1582
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: them through the good times and bad times. There are

1583
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: too many podcasts that want to be really negative when

1584
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: the Mets lose, but these guys sort of split the middle.

1585
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,479
Speaker 1: Trust me, I hate when the Mets lose a game

1586
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: they should have won, but they break it down really well.

1587
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Also love the Rock and Roller references, So shout out

1588
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: to you guys. Appreciate those reviews. I think we've basically

1589
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: gotten all the other ones. If you want to shout

1590
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: on the next episode drops a review, Yeah, totally.

1591
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Also just I'm looking back will Sam's had a good tweet.

1592
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 2: Metsign Dan Young for eight hundred twenty five thousand dollars.

1593
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: It's about right.

1594
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, minimum, it's probably someone listens to this podcast that

1595
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 2: makes more money than that.

1596
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Definitely. I think I actually know exactly what who does.

1597
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I think there's exactly one person, for sure

1598
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 2: listen to this podcast that makes more money than that.

1599
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: But those people are less.

1600
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the moment you guys have all been waiting for,

1601
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: Frankie Peppers is back with a vengeance. Sent me this

1602
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 2: ten twenty five. I think moments after the game ended.

1603
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: He's probably in bed right now.

1604
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, Frankie Pepper is how you doing.

1605
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 3: You see what happens when Frankie cooks for you sweep

1606
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 3: in a row.

1607
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that you know the.

1608
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 3: Mets swept because I cooked, but you know, not saying

1609
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 3: that the Mets swept because I cooked for you.

1610
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoyed.

1611
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 3: I worked really hard on and it was actually one

1612
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 3: of the better sausage of peppers I've ever made, so

1613
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 3: I hope you enjoyed it.

1614
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 4: The Bowl and is coming on Friday.

1615
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Don't you worry, James, And hopefully that also gives us

1616
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 3: some good energy going into the Red Series. Speaking of

1617
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 3: the Red Series, I'm actually going to be at the

1618
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 3: game on Saturday at four to ten. So perhaps if

1619
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 3: one of you boys, or maybe both your boys are there,

1620
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 3: the old Frankie can say hi, potentially, I don't know,

1621
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 3: maybe get you be or something. Anyway, boys, I will

1622
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 3: talk to you soon. Let's go, Mets.

1623
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 2: We are on one except we got part two.

1624
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: We have part two. There's more and.

1625
01:01:55,360 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 4: Forgive me, I almost forgot Francisco Lindor m VP. No

1626
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 4: questions asked, Thanks boys.

1627
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 2: No questions the alleged.

1628
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: Are we gonna be able to make it Saturday? It's

1629
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: a big college Football Day, but it's of a cupcake schedule.

1630
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: On Saturday.

1631
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 2: I'll say this, this could be bold. Michigan Texas is

1632
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 2: noon game starts at four. Wow, could twist my arm.

1633
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: Texas might blow out Michigan too if it's an early blowout.

1634
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, this is it's a It's definitely

1635
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 2: a wake up and check the weather game. Oh yeah, major,

1636
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 2: check the weather. I don't know what it looks like.

1637
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 2: I don't have the weather out look now I have

1638
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 2: not checked.

1639
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: But we need a weather guy for the podcast. I

1640
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: think just a guy who could just.

1641
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Tell us that could be next dude. When I used

1642
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 2: to do the First Pitch podcast for for Nick Pollock

1643
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: and Picture List, there was we had a weather guy

1644
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: who every single day, I think Nick new him for years,

1645
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 2: and he would literally send in like a thirty second

1646
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 2: snippet of him doing the weather and it was it

1647
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 2: was fucking electric.

1648
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah that's maybe maybe, maybe maybe Matt if he returns,

1649
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: maybe that's the weather guy.

1650
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 3: Now, could the.

1651
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 2: Weather guy give us the weather for the next series?

1652
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 2: The three day Outlook also a quick prospect port because

1653
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 2: we didn't give one. I'm kind of gonna probably chilling them.

1654
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Oser reports because we did the big twenty five top

1655
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 2: twenty five few weeks ago, and it's just it's fucking

1656
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 2: get it's get tough time in the regular seasons. We

1657
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,040

1658
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 2: his last thirteen games for Syracuse.

1659
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,760

1662
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 2: have a chiller series, but right now we're focused on
