Speaker 1: you doing man.

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: I'll do good Man funny to see the Mets this

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: weekend in Colorado and the snow in a blizzard while

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: we've had a legitimate heat wave in New York City.

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Did you see the snow that was on the field.

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Did you see the preparation that they had just to

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: get the double header in That was insane how much

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: it's snow landed in Colorado.

44
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: I was with them my friends yesterday out on the town.

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: He's a big skier and he was showing me videos

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: from Breckenridge Vale Aspen, one of the mountains in Colorado

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: that's like near Denver, but not in Denver, but one

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: of the ones that's within shot of Denver. They did

49
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: one of those time laps snow things of like just

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: the day of snow on Friday. It was like a

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: whole entire foot of snow is ridiculous.

52
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I mean I saw them like working on

53
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: the field before the game. First off, it's crazy that

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: they hand shovel almost all the snow because the cours

55
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Field grounds crew doesn't want to ruin the field, so

56
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: they almost hand shovel everything. Along with they only had

57
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: one tractor that seemed to be able to push the

58
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: snow back and forth, which that seems like just shearing

59
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: competence on the Rocky side. And to be fair, it

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: is the Rockies organization. Dick Monford is their owner, so

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of to be expected. But to their credit,

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: they got the field ready and it honestly looked like

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: it never even snowed there. The field looked beautiful despite

64
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: insane weather that happened just twelve hours before.

65
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: Even twelve hours before it was snowing. There's still Saturday morning,

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: and they were still able to get both of those

67
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: games at double heather off completely unfeathered, which again very

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: impressive from the crew and also that kind of need

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: to do that. You can't really expect machinery to work

70
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: on a baseball field like that because if you are

71
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: ripping up grass underneath snow, you'll you'll ruin the field

72
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: even worse than the snow being on it, Like you

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: have to do that. I'm glad the Rocky is one

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: of the few teams, probably the only teams in baseball

75
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: that actually has to deal with legitimate snow removal like

76
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: Rockies Minnesota. I guess that's it maybe Chicago. Certain times

77
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 2: a year.

78
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: They were saying they're one of the few fields in

79
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball that has heated ground, that the ground

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: is able, they're able to control the temperature of the

81
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: ground because they didn't want it to go below or

82
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: above sixty five degrees fahrenheit because that would ruin the

83
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: soil of the field. There was a lot of soil

84
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: talk this weekend on the S and Y broadcast, and honestly,

85
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm here for it.

86
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: Well, now we know why Dick Matfoy's no money to

87
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: spend in free agency every year. He's got Chris Bryan

88
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: former top draft picks and warm soil like we got.

89
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: We can't ruin this.

90
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Dude's worried about the soil. Let's get going though into

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: that double header, of course, and it's the first game

92
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: because of the snow out. Game one though, doubleheader. Carlos

93
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: carrasco on the mound, and he looked pretty good again,

94
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: which is nice to see, especially in Colorado. I think

95
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: this was his first ever starting quarters as well. And

96
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: for a dude who maybe has had some susceptibility to

97
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: the long ball in the past, he was able to

98
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: limit really really well.

99
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: He definitely was. But if we're talking about game one

100
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: and double head, I wanted to first start with Starling

101
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: Marte first game off the breathment list, first at bat

102
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: off the breathment list, hit a one hundred and nine

103
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: mile no hour piss missile out of the park first

104
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: home run, and with felt like what three weeks now.

105
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's been a while, especially because of

106
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: that time that he did miss, and it was nice

107
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: to see one him back on the field to it

108
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: seemed like it was really really tough for him to

109
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: be back on the field. When they were talking to

110
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: him after game one, he was super super choked up

111
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: and finding it hard to get the correct wording as

112
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: that what it felt like to be out on the

113
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: field and what had just happened to him. I mean,

114
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: the dude has been through so so much. You feel

115
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: for this guy so immensely.

116
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: He saw the emotion on his face even when he

117
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: like rounded the bases and came into the dugout and

118
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: was greeted by his teammates. It's kind of amazing to

119
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: see how much the team has taken a guy like Martie.

120
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: It's only been with the organization for less than three

121
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: months now, and how he's erealy to become kind of

122
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: this like emotional I almost say an emotional leader, but

123
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: kind of like an emotional sparkplug for this team. That's

124
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: always the player he has been, always the guys has been.

125
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: It's always with the white people regard him major League Baseball.

126
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: But hitting that home run his first at bat off

127
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: the briefment list just even a hither missing a week

128
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: of baseball in general, your timing missing a week, going

129
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: through the emotional turmoil that he'd been through this week,

130
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: it was I was so happy for Starling Marte, and

131
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: I thought that was one of the best ways I've

132
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: seen a baseball game begin in a long time. Second

133
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: batter of the game, first at bat, off the briefment

134
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: list right out.

135
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dude's been through just such an insane amount.

136
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: He was explaining too that his mom died at a

137
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: really young age too, and he was basically raised from

138
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: his grandma when he was nine years old on and

139
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: then obviously stuff to have with his wife, and then

140
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: his grandma dies almost to the two year anniversary when

141
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: his wife tragically passed away. Like, the guy was going

142
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: through so much. And I think Buck even you know,

143
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: before and after the game was second like, yeah, if

144
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: he needs to step away again, like base no one's

145
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: going to be upset with him, Like we know everything

146
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: he's been through. And it's really nice because it does

147
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: seem like this New York Mets team, like everyone seems

148
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: to have each other's back. It seems to be a

149
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: really tight knit crew. You know group of guys. So

150
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: it's good that Starling Marte seems to be at least

151
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: in this environment because it seems like everyone's very much

152
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: accepting and making sure that he's gonna be okay. And

153
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: it helped that he also hit a home run in

154
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: the first sitting, because it's kind of all we needed

155
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: as well.

156
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: Yes, the game where the Mets only gave up I

157
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: don't even know if they gave no runs or one run.

158
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: I think gave up one run in this game, which

159
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: was I think the first time in eighty four games

160
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: at Coors Field that the Rockies had scored less than

161
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: two runs in a ball game. So if you want

162
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, the Rockies haven't been great

163
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: the last few years, but to give up one run

164
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: to any team in Cores is an impeccable feet And

165
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Carlos Carrasco, like I mentioned at the start of this segment,

166
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: was kind of clicking from the start. He was pretty good.

167
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 2: No, I very much clicked. Grasco threw five nue thirds innings,

168
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: gave up seven hit one earned four strikeouts. La Lahrt

169
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: hit balls. But this was still course field. Having a

170
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: game like that in course fields as much as you

171
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: can possibly hope to give your team. And the big

172
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: adjustment of Carrasco, something I've talked about a lot during

173
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: his recent starts in this show was the fact that

174
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: he hadn't in a few weeks put together two secondary

175
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: pitches together in a single adding the start he did

176
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: do that, he married the slyther and changer for the

177
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: first time in almost entire month. This was the first

178
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: time isince April twenty seventh, actually, that he threw each

179
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: of them at least twenty percent of the time. It

180
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: was very clear that he had each of them in

181
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: their like specified roles doing what they had to do.

182
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: His change up location was perfect all night. He was

183
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: very consistently burying them in the bottom of the zone

184
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: to the point where the Rockies heads are just kind

185
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: of just putting into the ground consistently over and over

186
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: again the pitch that they really couldn't do much damage on.

187
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: And then his slider had four whists and four more

188
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: call strikes. Put those two pitches together with really good

189
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: fastball location. That's how Carrasco is going to continue to

190
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: be successful, and as a guy who's now become very

191
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: quickly are the number two man in this rotation need

192
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: more starts like this. I'm happy he started off in

193
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: a tough situation in course field, giving us at least

194
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: some length and very effective.

195
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if Carls Carrasco every five days right now

196
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: can go five and the third innings for us, that

197
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. Without Cherzer, into Gram and

198
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: even McGill in this rotation, it's immensely important to get

199
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: that length. I know, five innings isn't like, whoa wow,

200
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: what a crazy start. He went five innings, the minimum

201
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: to get a win in terms of major league stats,

202
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: but in cours on a doubleheader, this was huge. He

203
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: really nutted up for us, and it was it was important.

204
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: It was really nice. It got us rolling, along with

205
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: the fact that on top of the staging Marte home run,

206
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: how about our boy Patrick Mezika, he might just be

207
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: a hitter like this, This might be a real thing.

208
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: Pull back to kimono. I picked up Patrick mzek in

209
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: a fantasy league for this upcoming week because I have

210
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 2: Salvador Perez. He went in the IL with looks like

211
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: a short term injury and I was like, I need

212
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: to stream a catcher. It's a sixteen team league. It's

213
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: very deep, so it's not a lot of cutchers available.

214
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: I just look at who's getting at bats and who's

215
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: hitting the ball. And Patrick Mozka is playing every other

216
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 2: day basically at this point, and he gets a hit

217
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: every single game, Like he just goes up there with

218
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: a plan and he does damage.

219
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: Dude, the defense does not matter in fantasy, and honestly,

220
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't even been that bad defensively behind the plate,

221
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: Like I think, I'm not really sure what his calling

222
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: card is, but he's swinging the bats so much better

223
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: than I'd ever expect for a guy who swing. Let's

224
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: be honest, we've said it before, looks a little bit.

225
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: Funny, and at the end of the day, like we're

226
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: not expecting Patrick Musk, it become like this grand catcher

227
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: is going to exist here for a decade, kind of

228
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: similar to how Tomas Neither had that crazy hot streak

229
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: in the middle of last year. Sometimes you just kind

230
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: of need it and someone's gonna give it to you,

231
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: especially someone who these major league pitchers don't have very

232
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: much tape on. I'm sure there's a massive hole in

233
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: Patrick Mazeka swing a someone's gonna find out within like

234
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: two or three weeks. But as he's hitting, he's hitting

235
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: again to run home run followed by the two run double.

236
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: Crassc only gave up one Aaron, This was an easy one.

237
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: How about our boy Drew Smith throw Drew Chains who's

238
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: had a little bit of issues the last few starts,

239
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: some long ball susceptibility recently. But before we even talk

240
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: about really what happened in this game, how about you

241
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: talk about Drew Chains over on Twitter right before the game,

242
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: which or right before the series started, Drew Chains was

243
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: he was shooting his shot, as they would.

244
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: Say, you talk about this one. You're mister online here.

245
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, yues, I had mister online here. So

246
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: the Sports Illustrate swimsuit models were at the game that

247
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: me and you were at, which was what but Wednesday night,

248
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: right against the Cardinals, I believe.

249
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wednesday night before the Thursday day game.

250
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're at the game Wednesday night, and they

251
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: threw out the first pitch and one of the models

252
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: threw out the first pitch to Drew Smith, and Drew

253
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: Smith was very chumbly, as he would be for a

254
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: young twenty year old Major League baseball player, he's got

255
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: the swag. He's one of the best relievers on this

256
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: New York Mets team. The guys field himself and he

257
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: really took a shot and he was like, hey, let

258
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: me know when you're trying to come out to a

259
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: next Mets game, just let me know, like I'll be here.

260
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: Gave her the eyes emoji. I started a trend then,

261
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: which was to continuously brag about how good of a

262
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: guy Drew Smith was. Earned the Drew Smith follow on Twitter.

263
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: Dunk ali, oop, slam, dunk, whatever they say. It was

264
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: a beast move there, and everyone jumped on board. I mean,

265
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: all the Mets personalities on Twitter soon followed after. I

266
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: believe my tweet was thanks Drew for letting me borrow

267
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: your Lamborghini to pick up my grandma really came in clutch.

268
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: You're the man. And it just followed with that so

269
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: much so that she replied and said, let me know

270
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: when you need a good luck charm at your next game,

271
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: let's go Drew Smith get some Yeah.

272
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: I love that Drew Smith. I mean, we'll see how

273
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: this goes from here, will monster. We know Drew Shanees

274
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: is a bit of a looker, and we know he

275
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: has the swag and the talent to back it up,

276
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: and speak of the talent. Clean outing first time, second time,

277
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: second time in a row, second time in a row.

278
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: After the three in a row, gave up the home run,

279
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: very nice, very easy, uneventful. Drew Smith inning as he

280
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: joins the A team of the bullpen.

281
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Drew Smith was clean. And then he led

282
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: us to Lugo, who ended up going two huge innings

283
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: for us, which is not something that we've seen Lugo

284
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: do a lot this year. We know in the past

285
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: he's been able to go multiple innings for us. It

286
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: was nice to see him go too in Colorado, a

287
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: place where his best pitch doesn't really work, which is

288
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: his curveball, and he kind of there was no stress.

289
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: It was pretty easy for Lugo. He looked really, really

290
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: good and it kind of shuts down all those concerns

291
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: and worries that we had at the start of the season.

292
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: He just has continued to pitch well since then.

293
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good pitcher. I mean, I don't think

294
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: he'll ever be the guy we saw two or three

295
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: years ago. Again, maybe just pitching for all these years

296
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: with a partially torn ucl after all those years of

297
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: being snip snap snip snap between the bullpen and the

298
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: rotation and coming older in general. But Seth Lugo's an

299
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: important piece of this bullpen. I'm happy to be able

300
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 2: to trust him.

301
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he's an absolute beast. And the Mets win

302
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: this game pretty easy. Of course, we have to talk

303
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: about Francisco Indoor because you know, everyone hates the Francisco

304
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Indoor out there except that the smart Mets fans. And yes,

305
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: I am willing to make that shot right now. Shocker

306
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: got an RBI single because well, he's really good.

307
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was all over the field the series. We'll

308
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: talk about him a little later, but let's move on quickly.

309
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: The game too is move through these game recaps. The

310
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: phrase that we've coined a month ago, it is a

311
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: poop fest. Mets having one of these series exactly won

312
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: every series, and it was this was just a big

313
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: poop fest.

314
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: Hot pile of shit this game. It was bad from

315
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: the start. Trevor Williams got hit hard, he got hit early.

316
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: And the thing that was weird to me, and I

317
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: even texted you about it early, was the Mets pitchers

318
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: in particular seem to be throwing a curveball more than

319
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: we've seen them ever throw all year long. And as

320
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: we know, curveballs simply do not work in Colorado. The

321
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: elevation screws that pitch up, and it seemed like every

322
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: time there was a new kid to the outfield, it

323
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: was off a curveball. This game.

324
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: That's just Jeremy Hefner swagman. Jeremy Hefter does not care

325
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: about altitude. Jeremy Heffer does not care about airdentity. Jeremy

326
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Hefner says, these are my pitcher's best pitches and we're

327
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: gonna throw them. I don't give a shit where we are.

328
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: Was was it that successful in this game? No, it

329
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: was not. But like you said, Trevor Williams got hit

330
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: hard and then we threw a Donnads Medina to the Wolves.

331
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: He's the one who had to become victim to that

332
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: seven run Colorado winning Jason Shreeve came in to try

333
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: and bail him out, did not bail him out. The

334
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: fire kept raging on. This is just a game you lose.

335
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: Is a game you lose. The Rockies lineup also isn't

336
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 2: really bad at all.

337
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: It's not good, but it's not bad. Like if you

338
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: talk about like, let's just talk about National League lineups,

339
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: by no means is gonna be like those top five.

340
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: You never go ooh the Colorado Rockies scared, but you

341
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: don't see them and you don't go like, oh, the

342
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Washington when I've in the Washington National because they have

343
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: won SOTA, but you're not like, oh, this is the

344
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates.

345
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: Certainly not, but I do think they stack up better

346
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: than you're giving the credit for against many other lineups

347
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: in the National League. Mets fans got a first hand

348
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: look at how good of a hitter CJ. Cron is

349
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: in this series. The guy's that's freak of nature. He's

350
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: always takes good at bats even though the power hasn't

351
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: really come this year. Shocker the Giant said the guy

352
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: was bad, and he actually bad after the Rockies gave

353
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: him a brinkstruck and Jonathan Dawson the two hole is

354
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: kind of weird, like classic like stupid team two hole

355
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: hither but he makes contact with everything. Connor Joe was

356
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: probably one of the most underrated players in baseball, who,

357
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: if he was playing in a big mark would probably

358
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: a household name. He's got the long hair, he hits

359
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: the piss out of the ball. He's really fast, good defender,

360
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: does a lot of things well.

361
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon's a good ballplayer.

362
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: Football player. Brendan Rodgers had a tough starts in the seasons.

363
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: He's been coming around getting really hot in the last

364
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: few weeks.

365
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: In this game, Brian Servan Servant, I think, in his

366
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: like second ever MLB start, hit two friggin' home runs.

367
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I was getting out here. But

368
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: we're talking about all these really good Rockies hitters, and

369
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: of course the twenty seven year old rookie catcher who

370
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: comes up for one of his first major league games

371
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: pops two home runs to really extend this game out

372
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: of reach. But this is kind of just a symptom

373
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: of when you're pitching, depth is shot, Like you're going

374
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: to have a game like this because a donnas Medina,

375
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: well he does have good stuff and he has helped

376
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: the mess out a lot this year. No one is

377
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: going to look twice at donnas Medina and think that

378
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: you're sitting on a pitcher who, like he's gonna say,

379
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: be on a playoff roster all things considered, like chasing

380
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: treeve he's pitched very well this year, but there's a

381
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: reason every year, asides to the major league minimum. He's good,

382
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: but he's not really sustainable or consistently good. Jagree pitch

383
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: a cleaning in this one. Joelle cleaned up at the end,

384
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: but that was really when the game was out of reach. Personally,

385
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: I had like a on Saturday, like a day party,

386
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: a break in the middle, then went out at night.

387
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: So I just took a nice prey to take a

388
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: nice seasonable nap in my air condition room, tried to

389
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: refresh everything, and I had dozed off while watching this

390
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: Mets game in bed, and when I went to sleep,

391
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: it was like still like four to two, and I

392
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: woke up forty five minutes later. I was like, what eleven?

393
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that happened. It happened so quickly. But I gotta say,

394
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: like us Mets fans, it is nice to see that.

395
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: Everybody on Twitter and even like my dad and myself,

396
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: even when we were down seven, were like, well, it's

397
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: this course and we did it in Philly. Like this

398
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: game wasn't over. I mean it was. We didn't really

399
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: put up much of a fight, and that's okay. I

400
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: don't blame the Mets like it. By no means is

401
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: this a game that I'm gonna lose any sleepover You

402
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: got beat That happens plenty of times, and especially like

403
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: you said, when you have Trevor Williams and a Dons

404
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Medina and Chasing True, they by no means beat our

405
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: best by any stance of that word. This was our

406
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: B and or C team, which starts another conversation do

407
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: we need to bolster that a little bit more? But

408
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this is kind of what you expect in

409
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: the doubleheader when your best pitchers aren't going.

410
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: Also, the team's third double heather in thirteen days, going

411
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: back to that Philly series and then the Cardinals double

412
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: header from this week is just a lot on a

413
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: bullpen rotation that's already being tested like as far as

414
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: it can go. And this again, the double heather being

415
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: in course field, that just exacerbates the problem. I don't

416
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: think that a Dods Medina or Chasing Shriever as bad

417
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: as they looked on Saturday, just combination of the fatigue

418
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: and being in course field. These guys are still decent

419
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: third string relievers. But if we're gonna keep having double heathers,

420
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: it's we're gonna get exposed in one of the games, probably, dude.

421
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: And honestly like even watching them at hitters in this game,

422
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: because I know they only scored what like three or

423
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: four runs in this one, but they were hitting hard

424
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: outs all over the place. Like the Rockies outfielders, they

425
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: clearly know how to play defense there. They basically play

426
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: no doubles. They're like a couple feet away from the

427
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: warning track. Anything that's gonna bloop in front of them,

428
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: you'll be able to get a double. But they're not

429
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna let it beat it over their head because if

430
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: it hit over their head, it's a home run. Basically,

431
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: in that park, they played a really good outfield. Connor

432
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: Joe made some plays. Sam Hilliard made a sick play

433
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: to start the game, thrown out Nimmo at second. Basic

434
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: it's just going to happen. And sometimes I think, because

435
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: we end up winning Game three, nobody's freaking out about

436
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: this game. But this feels like that if we don't

437
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: win Game three and if we don't win the series,

438
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: people look back at game two and say, how did

439
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: this happen?

440
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also how that happen? Because the Rockies through

441
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: Ashington gudo in this game. Who's just like if they

442
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: combined every other pitcher in their rotation and turned them

443
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: into one person ty block. Yeah, these are guys you

444
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: should hit off of. It's don't again fatigue travel. The

445
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: Mets dealing with snow Like, there's a lot that plays

446
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: into a team having one bad game in a series.

447
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: And the best part about this Mets team is they

448
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: only ever allowed themselves to have one bad game per series. Like,

449
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: that's the best thing this team shows fight. There was

450
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: a stat after the game. We're gonna talk about Game

451
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 2: three right now, but you guys already know probably that

452
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: we won it. The Mets have now won fourteen games

453
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: in a row coming off of a loss.

454
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: That's sick.

455
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: That's the longest such streak in Major League Baseball in

456
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: eleven full years.

457
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: Wait, that's crazy. Fourteen row coming off of a loss. Yeah,

458
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: which is also weird because the Mets are they have

459
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: such a good record, but they lose so many games

460
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: but continue to win after That's a weird perfect storm

461
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: of Like, I think it's staff that matters and also doesn't,

462
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: but it does a little bit, if that makes sense.

463
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: No, I think I agree with what you just said

464
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: one percent. It doesn't matter, but it does matter kind of.

465
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: And you got to give some credit here to Buck

466
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: Shoalter on that. As much as every single old person

467
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: on Earth, especially in the media, gives credit for every

468
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: single good thing the Mets do, a lot of the

469
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: credit for Buck Shoalter has to come with being able

470
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: to keep these guys mentally sharp on a regular basis

471
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: and being able to bounce back after every single loss.

472
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: That's as good of an indication of that as possible.

473
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: The only time the Mets lost two games in a

474
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: row was early in the year when they lost those

475
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: back to back bull blowing bullpen games against the Phillies.

476
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: And who was the one after that that's eluding me.

477
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: A first game of the series, like first week of April, Washington, Yes, Washington,

478
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: then Philly goes back to back games. Mets only have

479
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: fifteen losses this year, and the last fourteen they've won

480
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: the next game, Like, that's how you maintain a six

481
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: to fifty winning Percentage's sick.

482
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: Buck has definitely done a great job in that aspect.

483
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: And there's something I want to talk about in Game

484
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: three two, which is just I think the hustle. This

485
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: is like another like such an old man thing to say,

486
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: But the Mets really do play hard baseball start to finish,

487
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: no doubt. And that's something that I think we've seen

488
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: at the start of the year with older teams under

489
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Mickey Callaway and Luis Rojas that ended up dwindling out

490
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. But it seems like Buck's,

491
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, leadership along with all the guys on the team.

492
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: These are guys who we've seen they say, never say die,

493
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: the game's never over till it's over, and they bust

494
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: their ass on every single play and you see it

495
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: all throughout the game, whether it's a ground ball to

496
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: shortstop and Brandon Nimo running it out as hard as

497
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: he can, or even running it out on a walk

498
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: because he's a little bit of a psychopath, or just

499
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: the fact that when he hit a line drive to

500
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: right fielding Randall Gritchid botched it in this Game three

501
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: and he was able to get a triple off of that.

502
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, those are things that I think winning teams

503
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: do that can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. And

504
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: as someone who said, if Buck does stuff well, we

505
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: will give him plenty of credit. And I know we

506
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: were a little bit tougher on him when he first

507
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: got hired. I do think a lot of that lies

508
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: on Buck Show Walter Shoulders, and I think he's done

509
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: a great job this far.

510
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 2: And a lot of the two you alluded to the

511
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: mets last two inexperienced managers. Another big difference between this

512
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: team and those teams are the assortment of veterans on

513
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: the roster. Like over the offseason, the Mets pulled five

514
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: major league veterans where they combined over four the years

515
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: of major league service time, Like that's not lost on

516
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: a roster five to twenty six guys, like that's a

517
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: pretty big junk of your team. Along with the fact

518
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: that a lot of this homegrown core has been the

519
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 2: league now for a few years, you're just seeing guys

520
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: who are more accountable, guys who are willing to work harder,

521
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: guys who have one goal in mind, and guys who

522
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: are very able to put things that happen, even in

523
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: the recent past behind them and be able to play

524
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: well afterwards. We still have't even talked about the actual

525
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: game three, but afterwards there were interviews with Luis Guillorme

526
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: and Francisco Lindor with the media, and both of them

527
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: as away from all the other stuff that they said,

528
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: we're just talking about like we have to have short

529
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 2: memories in this game is always about the game we're playing.

530
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 2: It's not about the game the day before, and it's

531
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: not about the game day after. We are here to

532
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: play baseball. On the day, we're here to play, and

533
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: that is such a just a welcome sign for a

534
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: ball club.

535
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's very clear, like the classic like, well,

536
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna the best hitters fail seventy percent of the time,

537
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: but like it is true. Even a guy like Jeff mcgeal,

538
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: who I think is almost the epitome for this mindset

539
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: changing this roster. We remember the last few years, every

540
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: time he'd get out, he'd slam his helmet, he'd just

541
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: start dropping f bombs and he'd be screaming. This year,

542
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: the granted, he's playing a lot better, so I think

543
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: that helps too. But even on his outs where you're like,

544
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, he's a lot calmer, he's

545
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot more relaxed. It seems like he's able to

546
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: put those things behind him. Doesn't come out with him

547
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: in the field, he knows that he's able to make

548
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: an impact even if he doesn't always get a hit.

549
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's something that this team really carries on,

550
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: is just let me make an impact any way that

551
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: I can, and if I don't, it's not the end

552
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: of the world. Just try to do it another way.

553
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 2: These are all the little things that add up to

554
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: the Mets winning so many more of these fifty to

555
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: fifty games, and we've seen them win the last few years.

556
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: And Sunday was a fifty to fifty game. Through and through,

557
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 2: a game where your incoorse field and it's not at

558
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: zero until the sixth inning. That's truly a tossive game

559
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: that anybody could win.

560
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: And we got to talk about Taywan Walker too, because Taiwan,

561
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: who's a guy that we see said gotta keep an

562
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: eye out for He's gonna be big, He's gonna be

563
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: important here, especially with the two big guys being down

564
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: in Tyler or McGill. And he really really stepped up

565
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: this game in course, which is never an easy place

566
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: to pitch.

567
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 2: No, he stepped up in a massive, massive, massive way.

568
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: Gave a seven innings day after a double heather ahead

569
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 2: of a big three game set with the Giants with

570
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: no off day in between five hits, two walks, six strikeouts,

571
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: and that was just again to be more cliche. It

572
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: is like the most cliche episode we've ever had, exactly

573
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: what the doctor ordered. That's awful, but this is true,

574
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: Like Taiwan, Walker was so cool in this game. He

575
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: did every single thing possible to put this team in

576
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: a position to win. No Rocky reached third base after

577
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: the first inning against Taiwan only time it happened all game,

578
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: and only one of the time that they get in

579
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: scoring position. I talked last episode about tywe Walker split change,

580
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 2: had that pitch as he's an X factor now for

581
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: this rotation over the next six weeks. That pitch is

582
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: the X factor for him personally, and it was on

583
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: the money on Sunday thirty one percent usage rate, second

584
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: most Pitchy through in the day, only behind his four

585
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 2: seamed fastball and ahead of his curve ball. It really

586
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 2: just us three pitch makes this game, and that curveball

587
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: replaces a slider from last game, which, yeah, again, I

588
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: don't know, weird. Maybe they had some numbers nobody else

589
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: has because they kind of did hold the Rockies down

590
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: this whole series.

591
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean outside of Game two, the Rockies scored

592
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: two runs in two games, which doesn't happen.

593
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: Outside of one inning. They scored eight and three games.

594
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like, dude, wasn't even two runs. They

595
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: scored one run in two games. They scored twelve runs

596
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: in three which is like pretty impressive to go into

597
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: cours and hold him to four runs a game.

598
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, right back to that split change had thirty three

599
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: percent whiffs, died along with his fastball, got a lot

600
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: of called strikes, Like he just really painted a very

601
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: good picture to not allow the Rockies to do anything.

602
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: And even with that, like his location wasn't pinpoint looking

603
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: just watching the game, there wasn't really a lot of black.

604
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 2: It was large pitches that weren't being hit, but also

605
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 2: weren't not manly hit that hard. Like he just may

606
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: have found a way to subdue hard contact more effectively

607
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: than he has in recent years. And this is just

608
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: a good game against someone else. Say again, is I

609
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: think an underraded lineup in baseball? And another big part

610
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: of this game that helped tywe Walker out a lot

611
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 2: was the defense really really really really stepped up behind him.

612
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: Ty one Walker's recipe for his successes ground balls, even

613
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: without the two seamo or singer, whoever you want to

614
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 2: classify it. Thirteen of the nineteen balls and play by

615
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 2: Rockies hitters on Sunday were on the ground, and the

616
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: Mets put out their best possible infield defense for him,

617
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: with Luiski Yormy at third, Francisco Lindor at short, Jeff

618
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: McNeil second, Donde coming for the end. But just those

619
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: three right there, lind Or, McNeil, Giormey, you could just

620
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: see how much of an impact that a plus plus

621
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: infield defense will have on a picture like Tywe Walker.

622
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember what ending it was, but your may

623
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: made an unbelievable play. The Spinnerama said the Spinerama, which

624
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: Gary loves to call it. I love that nickname for

625
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: just a spin throw. But he really made such a

626
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: nice play.

627
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: He's so he's so good.

628
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: Let's can we talk about Luiski or Mama, I'm excited

629
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: to talk about him, or he got something else to you.

630
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: But before that happened, that was in the seventh inning,

631
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: Ty one Walker's last ning going around this lineup for

632
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: a third time, which is the time that any pitcher,

633
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: especially Tymon Walker, has an opportunity to struggle. And before

634
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 2: that Spinarama by Guillorme, lindorm McNeil turned a very very

635
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: snazzy double play too, just to keep every single thing

636
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: at bay. Here in a game that was very very close.

637
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: The mess had just taken the lead. Actually know the

638
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: domestic the lead in the top of the six, well, they.

639
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: Had the leads still, it was the lead.

640
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: The lead was at least new, The lead was very

641
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: new to the ballgame, and Tylan Walker kept him down

642
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: to start with that double play. Than Luis Jormey made

643
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: the crazy spinner around with the end of it. And

644
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 2: now we're gonna talk about it, but Luis Kiorme is

645
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: so freaking good. And we talked a lot about the

646
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: Robinson Cano DFA being more of an opportunity for the

647
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: guys like j D. Daves and Dob Smith to get

648
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: a batch. Really, what that DFA did was turned Luis g.

649
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: Jormey into the everyday player he deserves to be. And

650
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: he's passed the test with flying colors. I'm gonna give

651
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: credit to our boy worthy NYM. He had that take

652
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: on Twitter.

653
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm justly look credit to us too.

654
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: We've been saying this for two years now. We've been

655
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: banging the Luis Ki or May drum forever, and we

656
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: said that, like, if you're gonna give these at bats

657
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: either Robinson Cano or Luis Ki or May, it has

658
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: to be yor May. He's a better fielder and he's

659
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: a better hitter right now, and he showed it this series.

660
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: What do you go like nine for fourteen or ten

661
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: for forteen something crazy. The dude is never going to

662
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 1: hit twenty home runs. He's never probably gonna hit ten

663
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: home runs. If we see him at five. What a

664
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: year for Luis Giormey. But what he is gonna do

665
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 1: is put the ball and play consistently, have crazy good

666
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: at bats. He had it in this game. There was

667
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: like a nine pitch at bat. He ended up getting

668
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: a hanging slider from Adam Gomber, who's left lesson. That's

669
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: a Austin Gomer, Yeah, Adam Gomber. That's not a person.

670
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: Austin Gomber who cares.

671
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: He sucks.

672
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't care about Austin Gomer anyway. But he ended

673
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: up getting a hanging slider on what was either the

674
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: ninth or tenth pitch of the bat served a right

675
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: into left field. And that's the kind of stuff that

676
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: like you never see that in war, you never see

677
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: that in barrel rate, you never see that in a

678
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: lot of like those stats that really do give you

679
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: the true value of a player. But that's something that

680
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: he saw. More pitches, made him battle, made it more

681
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: stressful for him, and he ended up winning it. Like

682
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: he is such a good player. He's so old school.

683
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: He's so old school. And Buck even talked about it

684
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: before the game. I think he confirmed Giormey might be

685
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: his favorite guy on this team. He's like yor May

686
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: has been begging me to get behind the plate. And

687
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: you know what, if Luis Giormey wants to catch out with,

688
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: let him. I'm sure he's great at it.

689
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the growth the point where we realized Luis

690
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: Kiomi can everything, and this team is worse when he's

691
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 2: not in the field, like simply put, there's no other

692
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: way to say it. And you talked about stats not

693
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: really being so kind to Luis Kiorme, but this year

694
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: they kind of have. He didn't get a hit for

695
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: us first, I want to say eleven or fifteen, eighteen

696
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: at bats something like that. And then he shaved the

697
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: beard a day that I will live in Mets, live

698
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: in Mets lore, probably for a little while as his

699
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: hot streak continues, because since alwiski orm May shave that beard,

700
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: he is hitting over four hundred with a WRC plus

701
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: over two hundred, and an ops over one thousand.

702
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: That's sick. That's like three weeks too.

703
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: That's a big sample size for luiski Ormy, not a

704
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: sample size to make any of those stats actually indicative

705
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: of anything. But you just can't sneeze the fact that

706
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: he's been not just an above average hither, he has

707
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: been a well above average hither. He's been hitting hilariously

708
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: at an all star level for almost a month now.

709
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Let's get let's start stuff in the ballot

710
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: box with lawiski or May.

711
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm all for leading the Luis Ki or May

712
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: All Star ballot push, whatever that does come. You gotta

713
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: also respect anybody who's willing to just say f the

714
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: physical appearance to get hits. I mean, we talked about

715
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: it before that Luis go May shaving the beard, that's huge,

716
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: that's huge props there. We talked about it even last year.

717
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: Remember when Cody Balinger said I'm shaving my head because

718
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm not getting hit with the lettis, We're like, ooh,

719
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: that's big props for his game. Granted he still stinks. Yeah,

720
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: he's still bad, but Luiski or may looked like Buzz

721
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: Lightyear without the beard. That's a lot more of a

722
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: risk that Cody Bellinger's shaving.

723
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: His hair full beard back so easy he's hitting. Now

724
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: he's a beard again.

725
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: When when when he's so good, he's he really is.

726
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: He is such a valuable player to this team despite

727
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: not probably ever going to have the greatest stats, even

728
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: though the sample size he just said was fantastic. We

729
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: know what it's gonna end up looking like probably at

730
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: the end of the year realistically, but he is better

731
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: than we've seen. He continues to, I think, surprise people

732
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: because he's not just hitting singles anymore. He is barreling

733
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: up the baseball a little bit more or at least

734
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: getting hard contact, which is something that kind of eluded

735
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: him in the past.

736
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: And the end of the day, like you say, we

737
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: know how it's gonna look at the end of the season,

738
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: but there's almost no doubt that he's going to be

739
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: a guy who's technically going to be better than the

740
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: league average by the end of the year in terms

741
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: of the rate stats WRC plus and OPS plus, just

742
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: simply because of how often he gets on base and.

743
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: With the glove. The glove too, that's a huge, huge

744
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: bonus that I don't think it's talked about enough.

745
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm only talking about as bat right now. Like I

746
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: think he's actually in above average bat in this league,

747
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: and his glove is one of the best infield gloves,

748
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: I will say, in the entire league. It's just it is.

749
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: If you watch him day and day out, you see

750
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: he makes every single play like he even makes the

751
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: hard plays look easy, and he makes the impossible plays

752
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: just look hard, like he's that good of a defender.

753
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: It's it's a marvel you said last episode. If he

754
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: played in the sixties, he'd be a Hall of Famer.

755
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: It's true.

756
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, like we probably should have known when

757
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 1: our first glimpse of Luis Giorme was him catching a

758
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: thrown bat from a dany Etcheveria and on the bench

759
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: as if nothing happened. He was just like, oh bat, okay,

760
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: I got it, like caught. It was like, here, take

761
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: it back the dudes. The dude's a wizard. He's he's

762
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: got something magic going on. He had that twenty two

763
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: pitch at bat last year that they had to change

764
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: pictures midway through. Like he just brings something else to

765
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: this team that they desperately needed. Siden we talked about that.

766
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 1: We remember, like coming into the season, We're like, we

767
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: don't really have a backup shortstop. We don't really have

768
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: a guy who can play third base, a guy who

769
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: can play second Basic, what do we do if Cano

770
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: isn't good? What do we do if Jade Davis isn't

771
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: competent at third base? You know what we do? We

772
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: play Louis Fucking you or May because King Louis is

773
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: a beast.

774
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: No, it's all we need and just continue on this game.

775
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: Tyler bow on it. Francisco Indoor had the big RBI

776
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: single to put us ahead originally. And he's also again,

777
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: like we say, really good. Since his infamous strikeout wing

778
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: against Giovanni Diego's last Tuesday, he's been on base more

779
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: than half of the time with a three hundred batting

780
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 2: average for all the batting average heads out there, and

781
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 2: he scores. He scored six runs in five games.

782
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: No, dude, you must I don't think you're watching the

783
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: right game. Francisco Indoor is good? Is that what you're

784
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: trying to tell me? Really good, dude? I've I thought

785
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: everyone on Twitter said that this guy is bad, he's mid.

786
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: Wait, but did you know he makes thirty four million

787
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: dollars a year? Oh?

788
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: All that changes everything? Yeah, dude, five hundred on base percentage.

789
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: You get thirty four million dollars a year. How about

790
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: you hit five hundred home runs in two weeks?

791
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: What about that? I mean, if he wanted to earn

792
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: his money, it's exactly what you should do. Yeah, God,

793
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: stealing money from the New York people.

794
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: Mark. I keep seeing more and more tweets every single

795
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: day of people trying to con vince guys that he's mid,

796
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like it, almost this is almost the barometer

797
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: for baseball IQ right now is what do you think

798
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: of Francis school Indoor. Do you think he's a good player,

799
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: a mid player, or a bad player? And if you

800
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: answer anything besides good, I don't think you need to

801
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: say he's MVP or he's the best shortstop in the league,

802
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: because I think that would be over exaggerated. He'd be hyperbole.

803
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: But if you think he's anything less than good, I

804
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: probably don't want to hear anything you have to say

805
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: about baseball. Ever.

806
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: Again, these aren't like those lies that get perpetrated. This

807
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: will happen more before the Internet. But those like little

808
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: rumors that would cross like middle schools across the nation,

809
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: like fifteen years ago, where people know things but no

810
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: one can really trace them back, like when everyone heard

811
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: that Marilyn Manson used to used to give himself oral

812
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: sex by taking out a rib. Like that was just

813
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: this rumor that like perpetuayed through the early two thousands

814
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: school hallways and never went away, and no one really

815
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: knew how or why got there, but always existed. For

816
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: some reason, the people across America think Francisco Indoor is

817
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: bad at baseball, and it's just not true.

818
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: No, it's patently incorrect. Like we said last time, he's

819
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: a good ball player, five hundred on base percentage over

820
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: last you know, six or seven games. Man would really

821
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: hate to have that on this roster. It really he might.

822
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: He must really be killing this Yeah, he must be

823
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: killing this team.

824
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: Well we didn't even mention it, but this was another

825
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: game where Buck Showalter actually put the Mets four best

826
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: hitters in the first fourth spots to line up. Of course,

827
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: Pete still fourth, even though he probably the second best

828
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 2: hader in this team or the first best header in

829
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: this team, because you gotta give Buck Showalter one non

830
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: analytics decision to make on his own. And he's like,

831
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: is he that strong, chubby guy over there hits the

832
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: home run, that's my first basement. He's might clean up hire.

833
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: No way, fans or butts, have you noticed this the

834
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: last few games to Buckets said, f the lefty righty's thing.

835
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: He's just putting guys where he wants them.

836
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: Now.

837
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: I think the Bets had like four righties in a

838
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: row today.

839
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they also didn't do that top of the

840
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: order because they went Neimo lindor McNeil Pete still, so

841
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: that is still lefty righty left you're righty or lefty

842
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: lefty switch left you righty.

843
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like he's a little bit less, like

844
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, sticking to the has to be lefty righty

845
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: every spot in the order.

846
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: Maybe also because they knew they were playing against the

847
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: Colorado Rockies and a ball pen that's not really want

848
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: to fear. I don't know about the lefty righty specialists

849
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: coming out of his bullpen and Brols in course field.

850
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't really care as much about left you righty here.

851
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: That's a point too. Yeah, I guess I didn't think

852
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 1: about You also have to think about the team and

853
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: be like it, does it really matter who who pitches

854
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: in the Rockies bullpen? I really they pitched this series

855
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: and I don't even think I can name more justin Lawrence.

856
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: I think is one Daniel Bard That should be a game.

857
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Can you name the Rockies bullpen? You got another name

858
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: for me besides those two.

859
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 2: Robert Stevenson, who I for rout about him.

860
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: He's actually kind of good m hm.

861
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: He's kind of good. Past that I don't even have

862
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: much anymore, Ashton goodough, Ashton god, and he technically does

863
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: he started kind of.

864
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: He's horrible. He's terrible. I don't care what he is.

865
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: The years and years of this team developing pitchers and

866
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: they still haven't gotten one.

867
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I literally haven't gotten a single one. It's shocking.

868
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: And nobody, like we said, has ever left Cours and

869
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: been good either.

870
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: No, it's just they did they They don't just like

871
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: make it tough to play when you're there. They break

872
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: you mentally, physically, everything about it.

873
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: That's what it has to be. It has to be

874
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: a mental breaking point of like, man, I'm so fucked

875
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: up from playing here, I'll just never be good. There

876
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: was a little bit of drama though in this game.

877
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: Ottavino got a little bit into trouble. He was able

878
00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: to get out of it though with the help of

879
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: Joelle because well, Joellie rocks and he's great and also Ross.

880
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: Was that a pun?

881
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because you was sitting on the side. I

882
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: didn't even think about it.

883
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: He was sitting in the rocks, she said, a great

884
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: place of enjoy her red bull.

885
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: When I saw that picture on Twitter, I didn't think

886
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: it was real. I thought that was like a meme,

887
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, like the meme of like Bernie Sanders sitting

888
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: and they would like move him around places. That's what

889
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: it felt like.

890
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 2: Wait, did you even see what was Mama McGill compared

891
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: the way he was sitting to the Bernie Sanders meme.

892
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: Literally, I didn't even see that. I was a graduation party.

893
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: She was like, that looks like the picture of Bernie

894
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: with the mittens.

895
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: That's awesome, Mamma McGill coming to the rescue. One mind,

896
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: but I would I would imagine the same people I

897
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: think Joelli still thinks are also very There's gotta be

898
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: like e vent diagram, a lot of overlaps.

899
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: Once they were being bad. Yeah, for sure, but I mean,

900
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: you know, God the troublely got out of it. Joelle

901
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 2: the king of the one pitch, one pitch out. He

902
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: just comes in, one pitch, gets to the bench, get

903
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 2: the showers guy, and then edwind di has got another

904
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: clean safe and that's a series. Did you know this?

905
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: They were zooming in Edwin's back cleat, so as a

906
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: right that was his right cleat. Edward's just pitching with

907
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: a hole on the top of his shoe from his

908
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: drastic hole, like he has to be sucking up his toe.

909
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: He basically doesn't throw the ball from the mound like

910
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: he's over the way, which honestly could make sense as

911
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: to why maybe his fast ball, like I know he

912
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: throws one hundred still, but why he gets so much

913
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 2: swing and misses. Like the perceived value that's or perceived

914
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: velocity that's talked about a lot with Jake d Grom

915
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 2: because he gets such good extension and that his one

916
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: oh one looks even faster.

917
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: Maybe Edwin Diaz, who throws the ball from I don't know,

918
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: fifty five feet away, it seems like when he eventually

919
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: releases it, maybe that plays into also why he's so nasty,

920
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: because he's not throwing the ball from the mound. He's

921
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: not even close. I think it's a good place for

922
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: us to move into the mail bag portion of this episode.

923
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: Something we like to do every once in a while

924
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: is just take your guys questions on social media. Make

925
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: sure you're following us at mets up. So we just asked,

926
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, give us your thoughts, give us your opinions,

927
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: and I feel like a lot of the questions were

928
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: relatively similar, so we will do our best chance to

929
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: shout out everybody. We're not gonna be able to. There

930
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: was like fifty or sixty replies, so it's just simply impossible.

931
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: But we're gonna go ahead and give some shouts to

932
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: some people and answer your guys questions. And the first

933
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: one to me, I think is gonna come in from

934
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: Ryan at R J. Murphy seventy two. What would a

935
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: basket extension look like. Because if you guys didn't catch

936
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: the news today, the Mets and Chris Bassett avoided arbitration.

937
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: They agreed on a deal outside of the courtroom for

938
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: about eight million dollars. I think this upcoming year with

939
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: a mutual option twenty twenty three for nineteen million dollars.

940
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: I know, James, I mentioned it to you earlier and

941
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: you were like, Eh, the mutual option doesn't really matter

942
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: to me. I'm excited. I think that means that there's

943
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: a good chance Bassett comes back, and at nineteen million dollars,

944
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: it is pretty cheap.

945
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: I think the mutual option is more than anything else,

946
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: just like a respect thing between the Mets and Bassett.

947
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: Usually mutual options aren't something that are not something that

948
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: very often picked up because there's just so many moving

949
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: parts in the mutual option that's very easy for that

950
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: to fall apart by the end. Really, what the mutual

951
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: option looks like to me is almost like a respect

952
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: enough to not go through the qualifying offer process. But

953
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: it is very positive that Chris Bassett did accept this

954
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 2: deal from the Mets with at least an expectation, whether

955
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: it's tangible or not, to be back next season, and

956
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: I thought that what he said about signing the deal

957
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: was almost more important than the deal itself, saying that

958
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 2: this being so good, he didn't want to waste time

959
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 2: arguing about what they're going to wind up being pennies

960
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: on the dollar for what this contract's actually worth. He said,

961
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: this team is good and I want to be on

962
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 2: the field doing as much as we can.

963
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, which I love. I love. I mean me and

964
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: you have both been saying we want Chris Bassett back

965
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 1: next year. We think he's a really good picture, that impressive.

966
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: Well you've done so thus far. I think there's a

967
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: very realistic chance that we extend him coming up after

968
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: the season. I know we have the da Gram contract

969
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: to worry about as well, but Bassett good picture not

970
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: gonna cost you a lot. I think it'd be a

971
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: no break.

972
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, there's a guy who you want your

973
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 2: team as far as Wally does on the field and

974
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: really does off the field.

975
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's go to our guy, Jenny Mets

976
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: at Jenny Mets on Twitter, which starting pitchers slash d

977
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: h's do you think we should target? So we're gonna

978
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: pick one from him. We'll talk about you know both

979
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: sides here, but let's talk about starting pictures. We mentioned

980
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: a little bit last episode. There's some obvious big names

981
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: that we can mention, Louis Castillo, Frankie Montas, the names

982
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: you've been here in all year. But I know, James,

983
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: you've definitely done a little bit of digging into who

984
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: could be maybe guys on expiring contracts here, Give me

985
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: some names. What do you got for me?

986
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: Excited, very very little bit the digging, and I have

987
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: bad news. It's not going to acit. You've very much.

988
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: If the Mets want to get one of those aces,

989
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to part away with Ronnie Mauricio plus

990
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: I'm assuming, if not Bret Bailey plus depending on which

991
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: team will value either of those guys more, which will

992
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: be a lot for a guy you're not guaranteed to extend.

993
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: And we kind of saw the harmon acquiring rentals the

994
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 2: deadline last season, as you're signing Javier Bayez, not making

995
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 2: a playoff push and now watching Pekrow Armstrong blossom in Loway.

996
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: It's only low Way though, so I'm not gonna hold

997
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: it that much yet. If this gets to double A,

998
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: then as Mets fans we can start to be worried

999
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 2: that we let another potential superstar center fielder go. But

1000
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: as far as guys the Mets can trade for another

1001
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: Red Sox have gotten hot over the last week. But

1002
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 2: the name Nathanvaldi is the one really striking me the

1003
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: most right now. As a guy who is a rental

1004
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: from a team who probably will be selling and will

1005
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: be happy to get out from under some money, Nathanvaldi

1006
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: is someone who has been very consistent over the last

1007
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: few years after rocket beginning to his career and Tommy

1008
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: John surgery. He throws the ball hard, he has multiple

1009
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: secondary pitches, he gets strikeouts. He's pitched in a very

1010
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 2: difficult division and a very difficult ballpark with results. You're

1011
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: gonna switch both of those and get those much better

1012
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 2: very quickly. Nathan Valdey's the kind of guy who could

1013
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 2: act as something of a lightning rod if he was

1014
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: acquired by a contender. And I'm sure a lot of

1015
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: teams are going to be signing up to try and

1016
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: get a shot in Nathan Valdi. So he also, even

1017
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: as a rental with a history of arm trouble, will

1018
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: also not come cheap.

1019
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was one of the guys who I

1020
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: thought was like one of the more undergrated pitchers coming

1021
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: into the season this year, a guy who quietly was

1022
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: one of like the ten best pitchers may maybe in

1023
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: baseball last season alone, he looked really, really sharp. He

1024
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: doesn't walk anybody, like you said, pounds of the strike zone,

1025
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: got good stuff, And we know in big games, Nathan

1026
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: Evaldi shows up.

1027
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. I mean again, that's one of those

1028
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: things to our narrative episode, I guess, so that we'll

1029
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 2: say it might not be true. He had that one

1030
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 2: great game that will always remember the rest of my life,

1031
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: and it's given him this tag forever, which is good

1032
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: for Nathan because a lot of other pitchers who have

1033
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: done far more in far bigger circumstances, who have never

1034
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: gotten that kind of recognition. But if Aldy is a

1035
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: guy who I think could be wildly important to any contender,

1036
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Mets have already inquired about him. But otherwise,

1037
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 2: guys on one year deals, there's only really two other

1038
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: that stick out in my mind. One is Chad Cool,

1039
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: who we know is not very good, but he's not cool.

1040
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: Now check Cool is not cool, but he has a

1041
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: very good slider. It's one of the bettert sliders in baseball,

1042
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: but like, it's not that exciting. Besides that, if you

1043
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 2: acquired Chad Coole, you probably can't expect a traditional starting pitcher.

1044
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: You're beginning another guy who kind of blends into that

1045
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 2: to the four inning role that we've seen taken baseball

1046
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: by storm over the last eighteen months. Now. Also this

1047
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: new brave world for the Mets, We're gonna see a

1048
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: lot more of those kind of guys. But the other

1049
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: name I found it interesting who has completely eluded me

1050
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: so far this season. I totally forgot it back because

1051
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: he was on the Eel's Wade Miley, someone who makes

1052
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 2: a little bit of the money so he probably won't

1053
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 2: have the most acquisition cost, and also plays in the Cubs,

1054
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: who are not a good team, and who I'm not

1055
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: going to tell you the Wade Miley's world be the

1056
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: Randy Means. But Wade Miley does that Bassett thing where

1057
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 2: he'll throw a ton of pitches, keep the ball down

1058
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: the zone, allow a lot of soft contact, and pitching

1059
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 2: in a place like a city field. With the Mets defense,

1060
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: I think Wade Miley could be a worthwhile innings either

1061
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: for this team for a portion of the second half.

1062
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of people throw these names around,

1063
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: and I know what the answer is going to be.

1064
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: I know what my answer is. But a Stroman Cinderguard union.

1065
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: There absolutely not. After the things that we've heard from

1066
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: people about those two guys with the Mets, there's no

1067
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: way either of them are ever coming back.

1068
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna put those to rest. For one, the

1069
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: Angels are competing, they're not rid of one of their

1070
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: premier pitchers, who's one of their best pitchers in their rotation.

1071
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: And two, Stroman might just not be a.

1072
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: Good fit with this team.

1073
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: It seems like at the end of all things that

1074
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: Stroman maybe isn't cut for the New York Mets right now.

1075
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: No, it does seem like this locker room again, cause

1076
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: correlation is not equal causation. But those two guys are

1077
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: not here anymore, and this locker room seems to be

1078
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 2: much more focused, concentrated then together. But I'm not gonna

1079
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna just say that's for sure the reason why.

1080
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: But that happened, then this happened. Otherwise, guys, we're gonna

1081
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: be pitching the rest of this year. And two year deals.

1082
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: Kyle Hendricks, who a lot of Mets fans are talking about. Who.

1083
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 2: I just think I think you're if you get Kyle Hendrix,

1084
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 2: you're kind of paying more for Wade Miley while probably

1085
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: still getting Wade miley ish results. Don't you feel that way?

1086
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like he's been he's been pretty bad

1087
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: now for it seems like the last two years.

1088
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's all fixed things.

1089
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: A little bit last year, but he's really bad.

1090
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: He is, but he's also just like not that bad.

1091
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: And the Cubs pitching development has kind of only been

1092
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: invented in the last like eighteen months, so they quickly

1093
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 2: have moved from a Pendan pencil team to a team

1094
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: that now is decent but with development.

1095
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: You also know with Kyle Hendricks too though that in

1096
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: the past, like you watch him pitch and you go, man,

1097
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: really unimpressive. It was always like one of those things

1098
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: where it's like he gets the job done, but you

1099
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: don't really know why because nothing is particularly good. Like

1100
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: the change.

1101
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know why is because he throws pitches with

1102
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: pinpoint accuracy, and he tunnels off his pitches very well,

1103
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 2: Like his change up in his sinker look exactly the

1104
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: same coming out of his hand, but they move in

1105
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 2: slightly different directions at different speeds, and that's how keeps

1106
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 2: it up. Bounce, That's how he did it for so long.

1107
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna chastise Kyle Hendricks. Is he did it

1108
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: so well for so long. I'm never gonna say a

1109
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 2: guy like that was smoking mirrors for like six full years.

1110
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: It's clearly he has taken a step back. So if

1111
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 2: you like, if you call the Cubs and Miley and

1112
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: Hendricks at the same price or within a relatively similar range,

1113
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: I'd probably opt for Hendrix. But I think that if

1114
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: you're getting a discount on Mildly, which I'd expect just

1115
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 2: for having less of a track record and also being

1116
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: I mean, Miley was so good last year, but it

1117
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 2: was a really weird feeling, and he's had one good

1118
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: start one bad start off the eel so far this year.

1119
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 2: But I think those two guys are people to focus on,

1120
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: and I think he's a good chance to mess inquire

1121
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 2: in each otherwise. Other guys in two year deals Mike

1122
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 2: Miner from Sin Sandy Reds, who has not pitched yet

1123
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: this year. He was acquired. That was it the mere

1124
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 2: Garrett Trade in one of the Reds vexing moves from

1125
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 2: late in the offseason, the second stage of the offseason.

1126
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 2: His guy I've always been a fan of. He has

1127
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 2: good stuff. He had that funny two hundred strikeout season

1128
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: with Texas a few years back. His slider's still good,

1129
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: his fastball is still about average. He's someone who you

1130
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 2: bring him to a big park like this. With Jeremy Hefner,

1131
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: I have a feeling that he would be effective. Meatly

1132
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: Jordan Lyles is another guy who's similarly unimpressive, but will

1133
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: just be okay in a big park like this the

1134
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: et innings. He will perform a valuable service if this

1135
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: mess team really needs it coming down the wire here.

1136
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: Same with Brad Keller, someone who is the least exciting

1137
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 2: guy could they ever even think of, but he still

1138
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: throws hard and has multiple off speed pitches that he throws.

1139
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: They're not the most effective things in the world, but

1140
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: he's someone who you bring him to an organization who

1141
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 2: can actually develop a pitcher and you might get a

1142
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: gear for Brad Keller, a the else have always searched for.

1143
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the Mets pitching problems or

1144
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: necessity for trading for a picture two comes with if

1145
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: de grom Insurres are are ready to go. I think

1146
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: if those guys are ready to go in the month

1147
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: of July and we get them before the trade deadline,

1148
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as much of a like we

1149
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: need to get somebody because we don't have anybody. If

1150
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: those guys come back and they look all right, I

1151
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: think we'll be relatively I don't want to say passive

1152
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the pitching market at the deadline, but

1153
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't think there will be like calling for Luis

1154
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: Castillo and Frankie Montas like there is right now.

1155
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think there still might be, just

1156
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: because with older pitchers like those two who have already

1157
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 2: been injured this year, you can't ever be too careful.

1158
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 2: And if you want to win a World Series, you

1159
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: need guys like that, like if Castillo, when mantas are

1160
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: made available, you can get them from Mauricio plus a

1161
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: little bit. You have to pull that trigger just because

1162
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: like you want to win a World series like those

1163
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,479
Speaker 2: are the types of guys you need on your roster

1164
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: to do it. And as much as I hate to

1165
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 2: say it, we can't really count Jacob the Graham right now,

1166
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: like we're all expecting to be back and everything that's

1167
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: coming out is positive, and we're all as Mets fans

1168
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: wishing on this magical to Grom second half, but getting

1169
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 2: anything from Jicular Grom in the second half this year

1170
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: will be a victory in of itself. And I think

1171
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: that they need to have the infrastructure built in to

1172
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: be ready to face a world about him for the

1173
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: entire year. And I think even with meshers are coming

1174
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: back off of a significant oblique strain and Tyler McGill

1175
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: still being on the il with ominously no worry about

1176
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 2: him whatsoever. I think that no matter what happens and

1177
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: met they're going to look to acquire a picture. It

1178
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: just depends on the caliber of pitcher that comes in.

1179
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 2: Another guy who I think is interesting, who will be available,

1180
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 2: who's been talked about a lot more recently, is Tyler Molly,

1181
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: also from the Reds. He's a guy who pitches so

1182
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: well on the road, but he's such a flyball pitcher

1183
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: that when he gets in Cincinnati you can't get people

1184
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: out because the fly balls that go out that are

1185
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 2: just cougher outs, and road parks are off and over

1186
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: the fence in the Great American Ballpark like for the

1187
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: last two years. His era at home is over four

1188
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 2: and on the road it's about like two and a half.

1189
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 1: Would love to see him and says me, it'd be great.

1190
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 2: Especially Reds have good pitching development, Mets have good pitching development.

1191
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: Molly's always had great stuff. Took him a little longer

1192
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 2: to get to the bigs, but now he's gotten there.

1193
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: He's proven to be durable, he's proven to be effective,

1194
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 2: he's proven to be consistent. He's a guy who I

1195
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 2: think on a two year deal you'd probably be able

1196
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: to pry away from the Reds. It will probably cost

1197
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: more than you'd like it to cost. I don't know

1198
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: if it'd be Mauricio Range, but there's a chance, honestly

1199
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 2: maybe which it would be a tough pill of swallow.

1200
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about it now. With all,

1201
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: do you have to ask me in a month because

1202
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 2: these trades. Also, as much as all these Mets fans

1203
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: are asking us about trades, trades like this just don't

1204
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: happen in May. They very rarely happen in June as well.

1205
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 2: It is a seller's market right now. And you, like

1206
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 2: we said last episode, are going to be taking advantage

1207
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: of if you try to enter it right now. And

1208
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 2: with that, I think the Mets are gonna do every

1209
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 2: single thing they can to exhaust their internal options before

1210
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: they approach trade candidates. Besides a guy like Chad Coole

1211
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: who likely won't cost much and even won't be that

1212
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 2: good when you get him. Yeah, it's like a Rich

1213
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 2: Hill pick up, like he significantly works in richell. How

1214
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: dare you say that about Rich Hill in this program?

1215
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: No, but I'm saying the idea of the package that

1216
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: we're giving up is that it's gonna be not for sure.

1217
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: But again, how dare you let's get Rich Hill? He's

1218
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: not when you deal with the red sucks.

1219
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: I think I think he really likes being I think

1220
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: so too.

1221
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: But tell me to catch two months in New York

1222
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 2: with this great team, you know, Rich Hill and Showalter.

1223
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: Imagine being a fly in the road.

1224
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're about the same age. I'm sure they could

1225
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: talk about what it was like to watch black and white.

1226
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 2: TV like Like with that, you're gonna see Thomas A.

1227
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: Puckey this week.

1228
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna mention briefly in the Giants preview, He's expected

1229
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 2: to pitch Wednesday's game. David Peterson's coming back for Monday's game. Like,

1230
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 2: these are the guys who were going to see. Like

1231
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: I said before, Mike Montgomery, you're gonna get a taste

1232
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 2: of Trevor K. Hill, We're gonna sae Yncdz back again.

1233
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 2: The Mets are gonna do every single thing they can

1234
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: to make improvements internally.

1235
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: Now on the hitting side, this is something that I

1236
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are talking about too, the

1237
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: DH situation, because Dom and JD they're struggling. I know

1238
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: we talked about JD having like the highest ex wOBA.

1239
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: He's in that group of guys where we're like that

1240
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: it's crazy because those are some of the best players

1241
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: in baseball. But he just continues to not really perform

1242
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: well right now. And I don't think Game three really

1243
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: helped either, because he did into a double play and

1244
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: just kind of struggling a little bit. What are some

1245
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: DH options I think the Mets could pull in. This

1246
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: one came from Jack Ham or Jack him. A bunch

1247
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 1: of other people asked this question as well. Mike Davis.

1248
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people were getting involved. I think, I mean,

1249
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: we saw one guy that I think would be a

1250
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: lot of fun to bring in to play the DH spot,

1251
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: CJ Crone. That dude just mashes.

1252
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, cdre Crone would be sick. The only problem with

1253
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 2: CJ Crone is that the Mets just don't really need

1254
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: another first base move can't play the best defense. But

1255
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 2: if he's just gonna DH every single day, that's fine.

1256
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 2: And there's always those people who claim, like the guy

1257
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 2: leaves course and they'll be able to hit again, but

1258
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: that's proven to be incorrect over countless and countless examples

1259
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: of the last like five to ten years.

1260
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: It's just so funny how when a hitter leaps scor

1261
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 1: is he'll never be able to hit. When a pitcher

1262
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: leaps scores, he's going to get better, And it's just

1263
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: a complete yar.

1264
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 2: It's never ever been true in either direction. But he

1265
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 2: is someone who's interesting. I also just think the Rockies

1266
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 2: are so confused themselves that they think they're competing still

1267
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: and they want their MVP caliber first baseman lineup every day,

1268
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: which I'm sure Dig Malford thinks that, but otherwise trade

1269
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: pieces guys on one year deals. You have David Peralta,

1270
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: who is doing kind of that same JD. Davis thing

1271
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 2: where he is hitting, like making very good quality of contact.

1272
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 2: And he's another guy, he's a very wily veteran that'd

1273
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 2: be a great addition to this club. Ass a lot

1274
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 2: of these guys here. He's better than the Mets fourth

1275
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: outfielder now I think, I guess secondly that's Jeff McNeil.

1276
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 2: But he's also basically just the starting second basement. So

1277
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 2: you bring Peralta in, I think he just raises the

1278
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 2: floor of this roster a lot similar to the Peralta.

1279
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 2: You have Tyler Naquin from the Reds. He's just a

1280
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 2: good hitter. His stats are probably a little bit flaired

1281
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: right now being in that bandbox, great American ballpark, but

1282
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 2: he does a lot of things well, plays good defense.

1283
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 2: He's a guy who just he's a good piece to

1284
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 2: have on a roster. Similar guys to this who are

1285
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: like not sexy but also useful, Chad Pinder, Robbie Grossman,

1286
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 2: but like these guys, really, these guys really better than

1287
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 2: Daniel Pocket and Nick Plumberdill know, Colin Moran who's just terrible,

1288
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 2: Ben Gamble who actually draws a lot of walks, He

1289
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 2: has some power I think Gamble's at least a guy

1290
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 2: who would be a good bench bat on this team.

1291
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 2: I think he's a lefty two Gamble right, so that'd

1292
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 2: be a useful addition. And then there's a couple more

1293
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 2: interesting names out there. I just don't know how available

1294
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 2: they will become. Mitch Handeger is a guy who on

1295
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: expiring deal probably could be had as someone who would

1296
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 2: be able to slide into the DH bot and play

1297
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: it well. As the Mariners have a lot of outfield death,

1298
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 2: not really good place to put everybody if they're not

1299
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 2: competing for the wildcard spot by the deadline. Andrew ben

1300
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 2: Tendy in a similar ilk' He's never what he should

1301
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 2: have been, but he is a good baseball player at

1302
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 2: the end of the day. Like he won't make a

1303
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: baseball team better. And the name everyone's talking about right

1304
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: now is J. D. Martinez, which he wouldn't make them

1305
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 2: as DH spot better And it just depends on how

1306
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: much money the Mets are willing to fork over for

1307
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 2: half of a year of AARP Martinez.

1308
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, no's he's definitely not that JD. Martinez that we

1309
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: once saw, but yeah, he's better than what we have.

1310
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: He's still a very very good hitter. I kind of

1311
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: like that, mitche Aniger call, I kind of like that

1312
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: that could be fun. But there's also a world where

1313
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: the Mariners the right back and they aren't in dead

1314
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: last in the aost like they are currently.

1315
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 2: That's why he's very difficult to have these conversations in May.

1316
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: But of course we'resking listener mailback. People want to hear about TDEs,

1317
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 2: people hear about fun stuff. People hear about Frankie Mons,

1318
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 2: says Jadie Martinez, all this cool shit. Hanniger is a

1319
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 2: guy who if this is the writ, if the Mariners

1320
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 2: go thirteen and sixteen again in June, like by the

1321
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: time July rolls around, you like, can we really make

1322
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: this interesting? And even if we can make it interesting,

1323
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 2: do we really want to Seeing that most of our

1324
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: big pieces are really a year away from being monsters,

1325
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 2: a guy like George Kirby, Matt Brash I get another shot,

1326
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: Julio Rodgrie gets all those guys continue to ascend. Keltick

1327
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 2: maybe figures it out. As a team continues to ascend,

1328
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: you have to wonder how if they can get a

1329
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: legitimate piece for Mitch Haniger, whether or not they would

1330
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 2: do it also just because Jerry Deposo is the king

1331
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: of trades. Guy's got a couple months out of trade.

1332
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 2: I know he's dying to make one. So he's someone

1333
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 2: who hasn't been talked about very much because the team

1334
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: is expected to stay competitive, but there's a chance they don't.

1335
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 2: And I think he'd be very interesting and fit very

1336
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 2: well as a right handed power bet.

1337
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: I know this doesn't fit, you know, trying to find

1338
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: like an outfield piece by any means, but I'd love

1339
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: Daniel Vogelbach to be a piece for the Mets.

1340
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: Vocal back be fun. You just slim at the age.

1341
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 2: He'll sit against the tough lefties and he'll be just

1342
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: a shit ton of fun.

1343
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: And he gets on base, he hits nukes, and he's

1344
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: a big, large man, and you know everyone's gonna have fun.

1345
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 2: With another potential lely left hitter. To mix him with

1346
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 2: the Mets, which is.

1347
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: Also so crazy. Imagine going from Brandon him but to

1348
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Vogelbach in a game like hitting lead off this, Imagine.

1349
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 2: How sweet this line would be with a guy like

1350
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 2: vogel Back with crazy power and wicked on bass kills.

1351
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 2: As someone who's hitting like sixth, seventh or EIGHTHO. Gelly

1352
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: Gamble does that too. Gamil always has good at bat.

1353
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 2: Gamble has enough game power to get the ball out

1354
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: enough times where it's gonna make an impact. These are

1355
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 2: good hitters that who the Mets are gonna be targeting,

1356
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: probably more so than a J. D. Martinez. Similarly to

1357
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 2: how they're gonna look at guys like Keller and Minor

1358
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 2: over guys like Mantis against you.

1359
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not sexually, they're not fun, but that's probably realistic.

1360
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: And you know, we guys like to keep we like

1361
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: to keep it real with you guys out here on

1362
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: the Messed Up Podcast. I think we'll do two more

1363
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: questions here. This is a quick one. Michael mandelstam Hi,

1364
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: I listen to every podcast. Do you think someone on

1365
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: the New York metsic would win a batting title like

1366
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: McNeil or Brandon Nimo. I'll answer this one. I do.

1367
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: I do think Jeff McNeil can win a batting title.

1368
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Nimo, the way we're seeing him play,

1369
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: it's probably a little bit tougher, but I think these

1370
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: guys can probably hit three hundred and the current state

1371
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: of baseball. I think anybody who hits three hundred kind

1372
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: of has a chance to be in that conversation. No

1373
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: one's gonna hit three fifty for a full year. If

1374
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: you can hang around that three ten, three twenty mark,

1375
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: you have a good chance to win the batting title.

1376
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: I think both those guys could be.

1377
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 2: There this year. In otherwise, who in the National League

1378
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: are the big like batting time though competitors anyway, like

1379
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 2: the AL has Tim Anderson, Janda Franco. I don't think

1380
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 2: any hitters on this Mets team are gonna have a

1381
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 2: higher bating average of those two guys. But from the n L,

1382
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 2: Like who is the guy who's like gonna wear that crown?

1383
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: Like right now in the NL, Machado's hitting three sixty,

1384
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: gold Schmith's hitting three forty, Krone's hitting three thirty, and

1385
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: that's and Hawsmer's sitting three twenty four, So get rid

1386
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: of Hasmer. I think Crone could probably hit around three hundred,

1387
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: especially playing really, I.

1388
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 2: Think batting average is way lower than that, significantly lower

1389
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 2: than that. But it's cool. Even last year full season course,

1390
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 2: he wasn't even close to three hundred. He got hurt though, too,

1391
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 2: at one points, does w'll do that again?

1392
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably that's probably whatever wants because he get hurt

1393
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: at some point. Gold Schmidt could definitely hit three twenty

1394
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: no problem with the way that he's playing. And I

1395
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: think Machado could probably also hit three twenty two. I mean,

1396
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: those are some of the best hitters in the league.

1397
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be easy, but I think there's a

1398
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: world where the Mets hitters definitely are in this conversation, Yeah.

1399
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 2: I think that Jeff McNeil does enough, puts the bat

1400
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 2: on the ball consistently enough with quality contact to compete

1401
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: for a batting title. Don't forget our boy Luiski or

1402
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: Luiski or may give him, give him one hundred and

1403
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: fifty games, who even knows at this point, probably when.

1404
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: The m okay last question here, and this one I

1405
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: think is something we need to get ahead of here,

1406
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: because I've seen on social media a little bit too much.

1407
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: The meme's dead, guys, the meme is dead. But I'll

1408
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 1: bring it up. I'll bring it up, you win. Aaron

1409
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: Vaknin at Aaron Vacknin, would you even entertain the idea

1410
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: of bringing Bartolo Colone back? And if not, where would

1411
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: you look for pitching help outside the organization? We answered

1412
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: Part two, Part one, would I even entertain the.

1413
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: No, are you guys pitching that Bartol Colone was drowing

1414
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 2: eighty six miles an hour? What four years ago the

1415
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 2: last time he peered in the game for the Mets. Like,

1416
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 2: I don't understand why this absolute fascination with keeping this

1417
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 2: guy alive here, Like I love Big.

1418
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Sexy, I love him. He was great, he was an awesome,

1419
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: awesome meme. But in two days we're recording this on

1420
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: the twenty second, On the twenty fourth, you'll be turning

1421
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: forty nine years of age, to which we know may

1422
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: or may not be true for Bartolo Colone. There's a

1423
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: good chance Bartolo lied about that, just like he lied

1424
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: about having multiple families all over the place. I mean,

1425
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: the guy is by no means truthful. He took aeroids.

1426
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: Everyone forgets about this. The dude is a well known

1427
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: not telling the truth guy. He's a well known liar.

1428
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't want Bartolo Colone back. Let him pitch in

1429
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: the Old Timers game, that'd be great. That's the only

1430
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: way I want to see him back on city field

1431
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: is if he's pitching an old Timers Day. Otherwise, Bartolo

1432
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: should not get on the mount for the New York

1433
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: Mets as a major league pitcher. If that's happening, shit

1434
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: hit the fan weren't, and.

1435
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: Mets Twitter's fascination with this year after year just never

1436
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 2: continues to amaze me, Like I don't understand why Mess

1437
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 2: fans are so critical of some and so loving of

1438
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 2: others like Bartolo Cologne is just there's no possible way

1439
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 2: that Bartolo Coloone would show up right now in a

1440
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 2: major League baseball uniform and be very effective, Like there's

1441
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 2: literally there's no way at all, And the fact that

1442
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: this comes up every single year, like it's gonna be

1443
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 2: like twenty twenty seven and a fifty three Bartolo Coloone's

1444
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: gonna throw a bullpen session and Mess fans are gonna

1445
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 2: be like, bring back big Sexy, we need innings. It's crazy.

1446
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: Since leaving the Mets in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,

1447
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: the last two times he played it was with Atlanta

1448
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: Minnesota in Texas, he has a six point one to

1449
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: three er right in two hundred ninety innings pitch, so

1450
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: it's a very good sample. A fit at five point

1451
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: three to four a whip at one point four to

1452
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: sixty five. He strikes out five batters per nine. His

1453
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: k rate is just a little bit over I think

1454
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: fifteen percent in that time. His walk rate's great because

1455
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't walk anybody, but you wouldn't either if you

1456
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: threw eighty four miles an hour. And he also gives

1457
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: up eleven hits per nine and two home runs for nine.

1458
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: He was bad when he left the league. He's gonna

1459
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: be even worse if he comes back. Now. The good

1460
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: thing is, I don't think that this has any legs whatsoever.

1461
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a even chance. The Mets are

1462
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: way too smart. This is something that the will Ponds

1463
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: would do if the Mets were in last place, and

1464
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: we're like, how could we get some free money. Let's

1465
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: sign Bartolo Cologne and get some butts and seats. But

1466
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: the Cohens and the Mets organization is way too smart.

1467
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: I think if you put this on the table of

1468
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: anybody who had any sort of importance in the Mets organization,

1469
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: you lose your job immediately.

1470
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 2: I think there's a better chance that you or I

1471
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: gets called to pitch for the Mets ahead of Bartolo Clone.

1472
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 2: I'm not even kidding. I'm not trying to be facetious.

1473
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 2: There is just zero points zero zero percent chance at

1474
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 2: any Major League Baseball team gives Bartolo colone On a

1475
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 2: crack at a starting job. It's it would be one

1476
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 2: of the most shocking stories of this generation baseball.

1477
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: Guy who's been out of the league for four years,

1478
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: who's fifty years old, pitching again. Like he wasn't even

1479
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: that good when he left the lease. He's not like

1480
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 1: he left the league as Justin Verlander, who's doing crazy.

1481
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 2: He's gets so many likes and so many retweets every time,

1482
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous.

1483
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: It's just this easy, easy internet cloud. We'll tweet some

1484
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: We'll tweet something out for the Mess Up Podcast tonight.

00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:22,560

Speaker 1: Maybe we'll even do an Instagram post and see what

1490
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: the traction is. It might be one of our most

Speaker 2: We should plan it for like tomorrow afternoon, like Monday afternoons,

1496

00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 2: just see what it does. Yeah, and you guys will

1500

Speaker 2: be in the joke, so enjoy it.

1501
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and on the joke. And I think that's a

1502
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: great way to and the mail bag. Let's wrap it

1503
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: up here for episode number ninety four with a preview

1504
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: of the San Francisco Giant series heading out to San

1505
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: Francisco for three against the Giants, who I don't want

1506
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: to say are struggling, but by no means are playing

1507
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: particularly great baseball right now.

1508
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 2: They're definitely struggling. You just got Molly Wap in a

1509
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 2: Sunday game against the Padres, lost ten to one, and

1510
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 2: they ended up actually getting swept in that series out

1511
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: San Diego, losing three consecutive games to the Padres, giving

1512
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 2: up eight runs in one game, then losing to the

1513
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: one and all the game, like I just said, losing

1514
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 2: ten to one on Sunday. So this is a team

1515
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: that is reeling more so than we've seen them real

1516
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 2: in recent years. We still know how talented this roster is.

1517
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 2: We still know how talented this front offices and their

1518
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: coaching staff is, so I don't doubt that the team's

1519
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: going to stay down for long, even still struggling at

1520
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 2: twenty two and eighteen forty games into the season. But

1521
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 2: the Mets this series, more so than many others we've

1522
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 2: seen recently, are going to be at firm pitching disadvantage throughout,

1523
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 2: and that is something that worries me as a team

1524
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 2: who hasn't lost many series.

1525
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: What are the pitching matchups looking like for this series?

1526
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 2: Monday Night? In a game that it will build, it

1527
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 2: seems like it'll be hard to win. David Peterson making

1528
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: his return to the major leagues against Alex Cobb Tuesday.

1529
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: This is going to be a very good one, one

1530
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 2: that all baseball fans should be to pay attention to.

1531
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 2: Chris Bassett versus Logan Web and a Wednesday nice Happy

1532
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: Hour game if you will, three forty five star times.

1533
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 2: Thomas A. Pucky making his return after miss coming up

1534
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: last year, being effective and missing the rest of the

1535
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 2: season with injury. Against Jacob Junis, who've shouted out on

1536
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 2: this podcast a few times randomly just doesn't throw a fastballs.

1537
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: It's it's a marvelous watch.

1538
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, it's gonna be an interesting series to watch.

1539
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: Two teams that are good teams, one's not playing particularly well,

1540
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: one is. But as we know the Mets pitching is

1541
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: always going to be the question mark for the next

1542
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: six to eight weeks as we move forward here, we

1543
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: handle the Giants pretty well at home. Different looking team

1544
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, especially on the pitching side. But I

1545
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: don't want to say I'm nervous about the series because

1546
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't really feel that way really right now with

1547
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: the Mets, with how we've been playing and how this

1548
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: team has been. But it's definitely not going to be

1549
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: an easy one. I don't care how bad the Giants struggle.

1550
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: They are way too talented to just be like, oh,

1551
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: we'll walk all over this team. I mean, you mentioned

1552
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: three pretty solid pitchers right there that they're gonna throw

1553
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: out against.

1554
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 2: Them, two very soft pitchers and one guy who's just

1555
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 2: trying something. Always been good in the past, But Alex

1556
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 2: tom Logo, webar very very good pitchers and should not

1557
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 2: be trifled with.

1558
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and of course we get to see Wilmer Flores,

1559
00:59:58,280 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: who's one of the few guys on the Giants that

1560
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: are swinging the back particularly well. Darren Ruff has also

1561
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: been scalding hot. I think in the month of men,

1562
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,919
Speaker 1: it's all coming up against on Monday Night. That's gonna

1563
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: be a big game for Darren Ruff. All my daily

1564
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: fantasy players, Jack Peterson, Mikey stre.

1565
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 2: After his hot first three weeks of the season.

1566
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean all the guys that you expect, though,

1567
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: will still be there, still be dangerous, so they're not

1568
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: really missing anybody Like Brandon Crawford's kind of the one

1569
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: guy this year where you're like, oh, he's just not

1570
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: that good because he's one hundred, but he might he

1571
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: might turn it up.

1572
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Brandon Belt is still out. Evan Longoria came back off

1573
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 2: the i L last week.

1574
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: No belts back thought I saw earlier today.

1575
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 2: Belt was still on the ILS. He coming back for tomorrow.

1576
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: He is not listed on the IL on Baseball Reference right.

1577
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he went on today.

1578
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, maybe he went on today. I don't know.

1579
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not up to date with my Giants roster moves.

1580
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, three hours ago, place on the IL just moved league.

1581
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 2: I figured, I mean, dishonestly, not that much else to

1582
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: break down about this serious. We saw them a month ago.

1583
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 2: There's not that many new storylines from them. They're just

1584
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 2: they just really annoying. We're gonna have the PTSD from

1585
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 2: going there last year and getting our ass handed to us.

1586
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: But you gotta exercise those demons. Usually the Mets go

1587
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: to San Franz and they play poorly. You have to

1588
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 2: go there this time, be prepared for the challenge second

1589
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 2: leg of a West coast trip, and play well with

1590
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 2: the big series coming up next weekend at home against

1591
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 2: the Phillies.

1592
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: Different team too, different team than in the past. We

1593
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: have all the confidence of this Mets team and they

1594
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: should put together a very competitive series and hopefully continue

1595
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: to win series like we've seen them do all year long. James,

1596
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: any other comments here before we wrap it up.

1597
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 2: Good Man ready gets their conditioner back on. Sweating.

1598
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's wrap it up here. You guys don't know

1599
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: this. This has taken us an hour and thirty five minutes

1600
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: to record. There's been planes, trains, motorcycles, dirt bikes, people

1601
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: with loud music. Wherever James lives is crazy loud, along

1602
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: with the fact that it just gets crazy hot.

1603
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean, have air condition it works, it's just loud.

1604
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 2: I can't record it in the background. So we took

1605
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 2: a nice little twenty minute break so I could recool

1606
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: my room, only to get hot again. De sweat a

1607
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: little bit.

1608
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, it's so hot down here. My parents

1609
