Christian Scott called up. We 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: got to watch a little baseball. The boys got sun kissed. 10 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: If you can see the faces on YouTube. Me especially, 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: I got the raccoon eyes going because I was wearing 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: the sunglasses all day. But a nice win to end 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the series and split with the Cubs after what was 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: a pretty abysmal offensive showing in the first three games. 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Francisco lindoor flu game breaks us out. Lots of good 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: things going on. James, how you feeling. How's it feel 17 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: to be back? It feels good to be back. It 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: feels great to be in the city fields for a 19 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: day game. First winning the season, which is really nice 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: to be because I was that Opening Day which was horrible, 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: and last Friday, which was also horrible. First win in 22 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: the States for a game. Yes, first win for me. 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: States had the game and just a really fun Mets game. 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: Because we we planned to go this day game. My 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: buddy Levon's here. He is in town. He's never been 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: a city field he so we were like, all right, 27 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: we want to go Wednesdays. That I was the Budeau 28 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: Show to Imanaga game and then we play trivia on Wednesdays, 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: so we're like, all right, we might as well go 30 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: the day game. Nice nice and nice son out there. 31 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: And we got the most exciting game this series, which 32 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: is amazing and really saved the series for the Mets 33 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: because there were to have lost this game as disappointingly 34 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: as they were playing it through the first five and 35 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: a half six innings, it would have been a really 36 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: bad taste our mouths for the series, the home stand, 37 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: the episode, but this kind of saved it. Now give 38 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: us like an uplifting feeling as we had the Tampa 39 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: Bay for the weekend. Yeah, Howser was pitching terribly. I 40 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: pushed back and I don't think it was that bad day. 41 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: He gave the home run. He wasn't that good. He's 42 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: still nibbling, he's still walking. Basically a guy par ending 43 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: he has to throw. I think I saw the meek 44 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: Phil tweet. I think thirty consecutive scoreless innings to get 45 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: Era below four. Yeah, he's not that great. But now 46 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: it also was so serendipitous, so hilarious that christians got 47 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: the call up leaked during the game. Well that yeah, 48 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: because I tweeted out after Houser give up the home 49 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: run to Christopher Morel, I tweeted out, call up Christian Scott, 50 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: and like five to ten minutes later Christian Scott the 51 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: call up news broke. Obviously, he's not gonna be on 52 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: the roster until Saturday. That'd be stupid because he's not 53 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: pitching until then. But it seems like it's pretty official, 54 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: like Chris Christian Scott's gonna be pitching on Saturday. We 55 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: were coming home from City Field. We accidentally got on 56 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: the train that went to Flushing. But yeah, and we 57 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: e think got separated on train cars weirdly. But Mendoz 58 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: said after the game he Christian Scott will be pitching Saturday. 59 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: Official nice press release did come out yet. No, I mean, 60 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're allowed to say that if 61 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: you're a member of the organization. The press release is 62 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: and out yet. I wonder if PR is gonna really 63 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: get on Mendoza for that. Oh me. Doza has been 64 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: very honest though always in these press commerce It's really amazing. 65 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just the way he 66 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: is or if the Messes haven't sunk their claws into 67 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: him yet to tell him to shut the fuck up sometimes, 68 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: but I love it, especially the candidness of the way 69 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: the game ended on Wednesday night. A lot of good 70 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: things from Doza early, but we're just we're having a 71 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: lot of fun. We'll go game by game now kind 72 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: of briefly, but more talk about basically me just talking 73 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: about pitching than just talk about where the team is 74 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: right now. Because we are a month into the season, 75 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: We're in May. Yeah, everything starts to feel a little 76 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: more real. Sample sizes are big. There's not a playoff 77 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: picture yet, but you kind of see where a lot 78 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: of the teams in the National League are stacking up. Again, 79 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: we'd be a little bit more than halfway through. That's 80 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: what the twenty twenty season is. Crazy as a Dodgers 81 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: fake one, but frustrating series overall. Monday was super frustrating. 82 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: Both the losses and even the win almost was very frustrating, 83 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: but just again happy we got these done. Yeah. I mean, 84 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: the offense just has bad. It's been abysmal. Uh Lindor 85 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: hadn't really done much until the last game. Until the 86 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: Flu game, starrymore Te came back, didn't look good. Pete 87 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Alonzo is in just such a rut. He's doing the 88 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: thing that I think we've said on this podcast a bunch, 89 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: and maybe I've just really said it is I hate 90 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: when Pete is worried about batting average because that's when 91 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: he's not good. That's not when he's at his best. 92 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't If pet A Lonso is a two seventy hitter, 93 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: that's a bonus, that's a plus. If Pete Alonso his 94 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: forty five home runs, I don't care what the number 95 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: is with the batting average, forty five home runs, one 96 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: hundred RBIs every year happy with that performance and sometimes 97 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: especially when he gets into these ruts like we're seeing 98 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: right now, I think his batting average has dropped fifty 99 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: points in like two weeks. He was at two seventy 100 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: at one point. He's down to twenty right now, maybe 101 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: even lower. And I think it's because he's fishing for 102 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: hits rather than going up there and taking aggressive swings, 103 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: which at the ballpark today specifically, his swings were horrendous. 104 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: It's even weird th next, I'll never even look at 105 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: Peelum's bating average sometimes that'll never matter to me. But 106 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,119 Speaker 1: the fact that the ops is dropping, like Pete should 107 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: be aiming for that nine hundred ops because he he 108 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: has everything. He has everything in his bag to be 109 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: a five to fifty slug guy to three fifty on 110 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: base guy, and the fact that maybe singles are his 111 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: way to get to three fifty on base, but probably 112 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: the player he is and the player that we wanted 113 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: to become as the Ages again depending on this contract, 114 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: whatever happens nex few months, because I feel like that 115 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: is also definitely looming over his head. And we know 116 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: the way that Pete thinks and the way that he 117 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: gets nervous and anxious about everything in life. But I 118 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: just want that nine hundred oops. Now. I think after 119 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: the game it got to like seven sixty. Yay, He's 120 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: definitely not He's just not hitting for power, he's not 121 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: getting on base, and again he sometimes just also hits 122 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: better way from the city field. I don't know if 123 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: the stats bear that out, but this homestand is the 124 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: only hit he has the entire homestand was a two 125 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: hundred home run. Yes, the only one he had the 126 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: entire homestand, So that sucks. But I don't know, I 127 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: know he would be okay. So I'm gonna worried about 128 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: pe Alonzo cold streaks. But just doesn't feel like his 129 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: his approach, his demeanors, everything is like that of a 130 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: very comfortable player. No, he's been missing hangers, he's been 131 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: taking good pitches, he's been swinging at bad ones like 132 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: he can't get away from chasing right now either. The 133 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: first that bat of the bottom of the tenth inning 134 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: today in the game again, the Mets eventually won, but 135 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: with a man on second, the Mets held thanks to 136 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: Starling Marte and Edwin Diaz held. The colub the Cubs. 137 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: I keep thinking everyone, they can give them my n 138 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: essential teams. Confused, It's well, we're done with them now. Yeah, No, 139 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: we'll get the Cardinals next week. Oh yeah, we're going 140 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: back to Saint Louisah, going to Saint Louis. They the 141 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: greatest fans in baseball. But p just hit like a 142 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: lazy ground ball to the shortstop, which is there's one 143 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: thing you really can't do in that situation, especially as 144 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: the four hitter, you just can't. You can't do that. 145 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: And he did that and again nothing didn't run, no 146 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: matter he got picked up by his team, but just 147 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: bad homestand for him, bad homestand at the plate for 148 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: Starling Marte defensively awesome. I love him. Incredible. The cannon 149 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: today in Game four was incredible. Yeah, his arm was 150 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: he let go of those two throws. The first one 151 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god. The second was like 152 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: holy shit. I was like, he is firing those things. 153 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: It wasn't a crazy spiny means, but I think he 154 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: got up to ninety seven on both of those throws, 155 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: which that's a friggin' hose. Did you see that baseball 156 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: savant had like a not baseball but someone was passing 157 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: around a fake breathing of an Ellie de la Cruz 158 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: throat Yo cruise about one of those sick the hardest 159 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: for whatever, it wasn't true and every time it was 160 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: sighted in tweets. I give Mike Petrial a lot of 161 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: credit for this because it's his day that he was 162 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: like no, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not. 163 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: It counts about like three hundred. Followers were tweeting like, 164 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: oh my god, the best row of Milli Cruise Mike 165 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: Petreal like sorry, it was wrong, that's not true. Don't 166 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: don't cite this information, but a lot of respect for that. 167 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: But that second throw from Marte on the when Madrigal 168 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: was coming around the magical hit, No magic was coming around, 169 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: Madrigal was coming around. The first one, the sack fly. 170 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: I almost kind of expected it because it was it 171 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: was a pretty shallow fly ball and he had lots 172 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: of time to get behind it. Yeah, it was. It 173 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: was perfect momentum and he threw a strike. But the 174 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: other one, the Madrigal one, I almost didn't expect it. 175 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: My eyes were elsewhere on the field and I saw 176 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: the throw coming like out of my peripherle. Was like, 177 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: oh my god. And then a great pick by Devised. 178 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: We given Omares a lot of crap. He's not hitting 179 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: wall right now. He's not fielding well at all. The Mets, 180 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: I think as a team thrown out fewer than two 181 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: percent of base runners this year. I think they've only 182 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: thrown out one. I think it's one out of forty 183 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: two base run and it was from Masnito's first game back. Yes, 184 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: so it's by far the most stolen bases allowed and 185 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: by far the worst olen a cost stealing percent in 186 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: the league. But credit words, do he saved the game 187 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: with that pick and maybe then save the game because 188 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: we did win the game with no outs, but it 189 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: still happens, still happened the games over. We don't know 190 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: what happened, but good pick by Devis in that play 191 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: wait and not block the plate, way to not block 192 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the play. Those cheating bastard Chicago Cubs. They we don't 193 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: really have to make that a huge story of this 194 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: episode because it's really such a non story, but we 195 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: will talk about it now. I guess even want to 196 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: like start going back now beginning the series, because a 197 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: lot of this has been a long series. Monday feels 198 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: like a lifetime ago ago, but a lot of fun 199 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: things happened, mainly Luis, you know, like flirting with and 200 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: no hitter. So for context, James, what were you doing 201 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: on Monday night? I was just I was at dinner 202 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: with some friends I hadn't see in a while. Like 203 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: my friends were home shout out Connor. He listens to 204 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: every episode. Connor is a man, Dan the Man and Mike. 205 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: So we were just we were out in Hoboken. I 206 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: was on my way back from Jersey. Spent the weekend 207 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: in Jersey with family and wedding on Saturday. So I 208 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: was just with them and I was like going to 209 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: track the game on my phone. We were just having 210 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: a fun dinner. We were being boisterous. I was telling 211 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: them about my trip, They're telling me about their lives. 212 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: We're having a good time. I had a couple of 213 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: cocktails and I started getting a flood of texts at 214 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: about nine fifteen, nine ten, like what's going on? Keep talking? 215 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: I just gott to lower your mic vollula. Okay, that's why. 216 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: What's going on in that game right now? And then 217 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: I open him like, oh my god, Louise Averrinna throwing 218 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: a no hitter and whatever. The opposite of a shadow 219 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: is moon face? Steve gelps for the Sins of the Year. 220 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: What that hells? We had to put a four line 221 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: quote tweet on this, Like everyone's trying to not say it, 222 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: and you just start saying it. What are you doing 223 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: to be fair? I'm totally of the ilk of I'm 224 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: gonna say it. I'm totally a say guy tradition. It's tradition. 225 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: I get it. Gary's a Saya guy too. But when 226 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: I text you him, like were you have you been 227 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: watching this game, You're like, nah, I've been outs. Like 228 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: Louis Saverrino's throwing it at no hitter, it was like, 229 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: have you seen what's going on? You're like, shut the 230 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: fuck up, Like there's no way he was. He was phenomenal. 231 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: He was great. He wasn't getting necessarily like the swing 232 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: of the strikeout stuff that you would expect when you 233 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: hear no hitter. But it's the new Louis Severena where 234 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: he still has that good stuff and he's just getting 235 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: really really weak contact. There's two things Severenna's doing this 236 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: year that I think have allowed him to kind of 237 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: be comfortable and get himself into this groove that we've 238 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,599 Speaker 1: now seen him in where he has one of the 239 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: lowest eras in the National League through a month of 240 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: the season. And it's that he's pounding the strike zone. 241 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: He's like a sixty percent zone right in some of 242 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: these starts, and this star was like that the same 243 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: and he's pounding fastball. Sixty four percent of his pitches 244 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: on Monday were either fastballs or sinkers. And just from 245 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: that first pitch, like he just felt like he was very, very, 246 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: just very locked in. I watched back all the pitches, 247 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: a guys, so of course I'm watching these and then 248 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: as second as all this happen, I put the game 249 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: on my phone. Ivoren on the table, Yes, Ivory, you know. 250 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: But it's also really interesting right now he's using a 251 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: singer because that's a pitch I told you guys about 252 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: in the off season. That was something he introduced last year. 253 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: He threw it like ten percent in time September, but 254 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: then even started throwing it into the middle of summer. 255 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: Wounded up being a three percent pitch for him on 256 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: the year. But now this year, now it's his second 257 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: most thrown pitch. And that's the thing that he still 258 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: has good velocity, but he's lost a lot of life 259 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: on his fastball shape. It's lost some Ivy bey On, 260 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: that lost that rising action that made him the freak 261 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: of nature he was when he first came into the league. 262 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: But he's just going right out to and he's throwing 263 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: the sinker significantly more off in the righties and lefties, 264 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: which is a weird thing that we've talked about. Yes, 265 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: the pitch, the moving profile of the sinker. You kind 266 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: of want to throw more off in the lefties and 267 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: rioties because it can bleed more over the middle, more 268 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: over to the barrel when you throw it to a riety. No, 269 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: you want to throw it to Ray. You don't want 270 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: to throw to He wants a righty rdy singer. Yes, yeah, 271 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: oh really, because it comes into the right hand, it 272 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: comes back into them, It comes into the right handed 273 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: batter into them. Yeah. Yeah. I for a lefty, it 274 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: comes back over the plate. For righty, it comes into 275 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: their hands. This is a whole conversation that we had 276 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: about opposite handedness for a sinkers. I just don't think 277 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: you get it. Maybe I don't get it. It's it's 278 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: always going armside, So righty, righty, it's gonna go into 279 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: the right handed batter. That's what he's doing. He's bearing 280 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: it on their hands and getting a lot of contact 281 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: with it, and it's awesomely why but again, that's the 282 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: big change right now, that's singer's second most Throwe betch 283 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: you're throwing at almost twenty percent in the time last year 284 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: is barely two percent, and it's huge right now, touch 285 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: just off contact, limiting damage. It's definitely has been the 286 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: key form nearly going this season. Yeah, and what sucks 287 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: is the Mets really wasted this performance because of the 288 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: typical fashion. Jameis and Tyne through a gem of a game, 289 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: the most fake gem ever. He went what seven innings, 290 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: one strikeout, four hits. The Mets put the ball in 291 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: play a ton, but there was no oom and there's 292 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: really outside like Brandon Nemo and I guess Pete when 293 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: he hits the ball, he's just not doing it that 294 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: often right now. But there's just not a lot of 295 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: oomph right now in this lineup consistently enough, Like Jeff 296 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: mcgiale's not hitting the ball very hard. Lindor on the 297 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: right hand side is hitting the ball hard. Game four 298 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: is a little bit different. DJ Stewart hits the ball hard, 299 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: but he's swings and misses a lot. Like there's just 300 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: been a lot of lack of good contact being made 301 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: by this team. And we've talked about this in the 302 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: past before. They are kind of built around singles. This 303 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: is what happens when you have a team built like this. 304 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: So for all you old people out there who are 305 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: obsessed the Mets are trying to hit too many home runs, 306 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: it's the exact opposite. The Mets are trying to hit 307 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: almost no home runs. It seems like, I know, but 308 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: I'm saying, like the philosophy doesn't seem like the Mets 309 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: are lift the ball hit home runs, which I think 310 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: the old heads would say, like, too obsessed with the 311 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: home runs. That's why they can't score. Got to put the 312 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: ball in play. No, the Mets need to hit the 313 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: ball hard and then you let the things happen. This 314 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: game was a lot of fake good contact because if 315 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: you look at the box score, the Mets had a 316 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: lot of hard hit balls against James and Time, but 317 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot of them are beating to the ground and 318 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: also a lot of them were just kind of stuck 319 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: between that, like ninety five two hundred zone, which is 320 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: technically a hard hit ball, but now the ball that 321 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: if you hit the heart you're necessarily going to damage, 322 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: especially when you're not really lifting it. Not barrel technically, yeah, 323 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: not barrel. Not a lot of barrels in this game. 324 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: But also then we just have talk about the Joey 325 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: Wendall play because now the entire the entire Mets fan 326 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: base is fully turned down Joey wendo list. There's some 327 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,119 Speaker 1: great jokes about him being made as expense, which sucks. 328 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: He's a human being, just like and I. But after 329 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: today's game, Thursday's game, Tim Healy talked to Lindor and 330 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: he said that he had to come out of the 331 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: game on Wednesday because he was scared he was gonna 332 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: throw up or do number two a short stop and 333 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: shit in your pants would be a bad look in 334 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: the white pants. And someone responded, I think Joey Wendaway 335 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: number two a short stop and said which he kind 336 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: of did this, yeares And Monday was the start of that. Yeah, 337 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: he was playing third base on Monday. He was playing it, 338 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: filling in for a baby over at third, and there 339 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: was a ground ball hit to him. There was I 340 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: believe bases loaded guy on third breaks for home. He 341 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: had him out by It might not have been base alad, 342 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: it might have been first and third. Actually you need 343 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: to be attack would have been attacked, but he had 344 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: him out by thirty feet. I mean, it wasn't even 345 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: close at the time where he got the ball where 346 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: the guy was not even close, decides to try and 347 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,599 Speaker 1: go for two instead of course the Metsicone turn. It 348 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: ends up being the deciding run in this game, the 349 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: only run in this game, And it was just one 350 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: of those things where it's like, not the only run, well, 351 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, technically not the only run, but the 352 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: big run here, Yeah, this one. It just made it 353 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult for the team. And the 354 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: frustrating thing with Joey Wendall is that he's supposed to 355 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: be this heads up player. He's supposed to be the 356 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: good defensive guy, the guy who makes all these little plays, 357 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: makes the right plays, and right now he's just not 358 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: doing it. And you said it in the offseason, you 359 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: were not a huge fan of the Joey Wendell signing. 360 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: I was okay with it just because it's two million 361 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: dollars and it's like, whatever, he's probably better than Luis 362 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: gi or May, and I do stand by that Luis 363 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: gi or May is not really doing much and you're 364 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna pay either whatever. But the same time, the writing 365 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: was on the wall, like he's stunk with the Marlins 366 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: last year. It's not like he had a great season 367 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: and we got like this, like deal off the scrap heap. 368 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: He really was someone that they jumped the gun on early. 369 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: And unfortunately the Mets just don't have the organizational depth 370 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: right now to have anybody else play there because they 371 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: still need someone who can play shortstop. God forbid, something 372 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: happens to Francisco indoor and that's what we saw. I mean, 373 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: luckily it wasn't serious. He just says the flu he's 374 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: gonna shit his pants. But if Joey Wendle's not on 375 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: this team, who legitimately plays shortstopp there's nobody, no one. 376 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: It would be Jeff McNeil. I don't really, I don't want. 377 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: And then we actually traded the Zach short during the series, 378 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: which is fine, and signed Mike Barsola to take that 379 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: I think for the mass spot. I'm not sure if 380 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: you actually got a for the man spot. He's in 381 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: the organization now. The only guy who would take this 382 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: job is Jose Glaciers, who is hitting now a little 383 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: bit better at Triple A, but Triple is playing fake 384 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: baseball with a fake baseball, so I don't know. He's 385 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: probably maybe a little better than him. He might not 386 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: be actually better than him, but I think just right now, 387 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: the fact that Joey Wendell had the worst season of 388 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: his career last year, the worst defensive metrics had in 389 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: his career ever, and now he's kind of parlayed that 390 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: into continuing to not be a stout defender like who's 391 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: expected to be. And also, funny, Mets fans, I got 392 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: a lot of shit in the offseason because I said 393 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: the one guy who I think fits that last roster 394 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: spot the best was one Ahmed Rosario. Yes, so it's 395 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: a weird feeling for us because he was our top prospect. 396 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: He left the team in disgrace, not disgrace, We left 397 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: him fiscal door trade, just never really realized his potential 398 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: and wind up being traded on tender this and that's 399 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: crushing the bar and race. He's not playing a lot 400 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: of shortstop, but we know he can't play shortstop. Similar 401 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: with Joey Wendell, he would be much more valuable player 402 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: than joy one. He would be like if Joey Wendell 403 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: was faster, hit the ball, harder, was more athletic, was younger, 404 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: everything that was d was Joey went And again, like 405 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: I still think Joey Wendell. Everything David Sturt has said 406 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: about him is positive. It was just the fear of that. 407 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: Like it seems like that the bounce back didn't happen. 408 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: It probably won't happen. I don't know where the replacement 409 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: for someone who can play five mill in field comes from, 410 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: because I don't his rosspots should be coming into question. 411 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: But again, like Mark said, there's not really the organizational 412 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: depth to push push him out of it. Yeah, until 413 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: somebody makes that roster spot questionable, he's not going anywhere, 414 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: which is unfortunate. I don't like saying that because again, 415 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: it's a guy's job. But like, realistically, he's not adding 416 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: anything to this team right now, and it's tough to 417 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: see him go out there. There's different circumstances. Today had 418 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: to play because the Lindor didn't end up hurting us. 419 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: But his bats have been bad. He's bad in the field. 420 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: It's just not been a good season for Joey wend 421 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: But whatsoever, No, that's kind of put this game to bed, 422 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: because then the end of the game whatever, Yeah, end 423 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: of the game whatever, all right? Game two ninety two 424 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: mile an hour ball, Yes, sir, yes, sir. Have your 425 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: side for Sean Manaiah, this is just so funny. We 426 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: always have these magic points a week because the Mets 427 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: have manaiaan Houser in the rotation, Tana and Katana. They 428 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: have a lot of guys and they do not throw 429 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: over ninety four miles an hour, and every other team 430 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: will have like one or two or three of these 431 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: guys as well, So these guys get matched up as 432 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: the best I know listening to the show. Maddaddy loves 433 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: that too, But it's just so funny. These guys are 434 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: going back and forth, just little little sinkers, little colors, 435 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: a little tiny fastballs, a little changes. I think it 436 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: was the best Manaia's changed up looked all year, and 437 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: he had to lean on it the most because the 438 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: only left in the Cubs lineup was Mike Talkmans. They 439 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: really neutralized his sweeper, which has been really good pitch 440 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: for him, so it was just fastballs and change was 441 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: fastball and change ups high and low from Anaya and 442 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: it wounded up being a pretty good outing for him. 443 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: Another one was weird games where he missed tons of bats. 444 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: He has sixteen swings and misses he allowed I think 445 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: one or no runs. Trying to remember right now. He 446 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: also only had three or four strikeouts, and I think 447 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: it was four walks in three strikeouts. So it's just 448 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: like he was getting ahead of these guys, but he 449 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have that pull away pitch, which is kind of 450 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: the thing with especially already. Yes, because we're lying in 451 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: that change up and the change can get him strict one, 452 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: he can get them strack two, but it's not great 453 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: getting him strike three. So then especially when it's sliding 454 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: and sweeper neutralized. So still a good start, kept the 455 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: runs off the board, and put the team position to 456 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: win the game, which is all he could ask. Yeah, 457 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: and luckily, our King DJ Stewart came up to the plate. 458 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: One thing you gotta love about DJ Stewart that dude 459 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: does not get cheated when he comes up to the plate, 460 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: and that's something that I think a lot of Mets 461 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: players do get cheated with. There's some bad swings at times, 462 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: but DJ Stewart, whether he hits the ball, he swings 463 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: and misses, he's taking the same swing and he's going 464 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: for the fences. And luckily for us, he connected hit 465 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: a bomb up until the Coca Cola corner and right field. 466 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: It was just great. His statline this year has been phenomenal. 467 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: To talking about it at the game today, Like, yeah, 468 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: he's hitting two ten, but he's a three eighty three 469 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: ninety on base percent. I think he walked again in 470 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: Game four. He just is an on base machine with 471 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: some power. This is what we thought Daniel Logoback was 472 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: gonna be. It's kind of funy. I didn't even think 473 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: about that, But it's also funny to like break down 474 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: DJ Stewart. It's like what he's done this year and 475 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: just take every stat individually. He has four home runs, 476 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: five singles, two doubles, fourteen RBIs, fifteen walks modern baseball 477 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: baby age fifty oh ps three of the on base Like, 478 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: that's the best we can ask for from a dhtad 479 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: is making no money at all and plays a few 480 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: days a week and the left handed batter, Yeah, he's 481 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: ready to play every single day. He has good at bats, 482 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: like I know in Game three he kind of had 483 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: a weird one against Hector Naris where they had an 484 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: opportunity to jump all over him. I think he came 485 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: into pinchhit and just kind of got taken down one, two, three, 486 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: but one Yeah, we've got to talk about that decision. 487 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: I think it's like it's a little minu show that 488 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: we'll talk about for a minute here, But I think 489 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: it will have been a bigger story if we lost another game, 490 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: We'll spent more time on it. We had less fun 491 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: things to talk about. But in fact, the Mets pinch 492 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: hit Stewart for Tyron Taylor. Yeah, I thought that was 493 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: interesting because Darren Taylor is a guy who's kind of 494 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: had an for the big hit this year. He's just 495 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: been kind of hot, even though he doesn't played very often. 496 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: At this time, DJ Stewart was on a bit of 497 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: a colder streak. And I don't know wh I think 498 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: about Tyrone Taylor splits, but I just know the fact 499 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: that Hector Narry's has a pitcher who's a fastball splither guy. 500 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: Spliter is not really a pitch that has tremendous splits. 501 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: Like the reason the split has become such a popular 502 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: pitches because it's very effective. It's hitters from both sides 503 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: of the plate. So I thought it was a little peculiar. 504 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: I thought it was like a bit of overmanagement from 505 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Carls Mendoza, who regardless still has an a on the season. 506 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: He's still been sensational everything he's done. But just I 507 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: thought it was a little bit of trying to do 508 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: too much. Take take taking a guy who's cold off 509 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: the bench the guys warm on the field. Yeah, I 510 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: think it's if you don't go to DJ Stewart. There, 511 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: you're saying, why don't you bring the lefty? If Tyrone 512 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: Taylor gets out, if t J Stewart gets a hit master, 513 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you probably just can't win. 514 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: So you're just gonna go with the numbers. And I'm 515 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: assuming the numbers said for them, let's get the left 516 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: and DJ Seward is rocking a three to eighty on base. 517 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: That's the absolute worst for a guy who was struggling 518 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: with control at the time. Too. Maybe we get a 519 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: walk out of it from him. Yeah, no, right, Yeah, 520 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: it's a little thing I want to talk about for 521 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: thirty sconds those times decisions. So we love DJ, Yeah, 522 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: I love DJ. I still love Mendoz. Just keep a 523 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: track of everything. Mendoz has been great. Game three now 524 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: moving on, we're moving through these games quickly here, Jose Budo, man, 525 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: why don't we just start having the conversation that he's 526 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: just like a good picture. I mean, I think the 527 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: conversation has been had in this show for a very 528 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: long time. But I've been telling you guys, I think 529 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: just every single time he's on the mound, every single 530 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: thing he does, I think it's just a little more 531 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: proof that he is actually quite good. And this star 532 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: is another one. But this, to me is gonna sound weird, 533 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: maybe because it wasn't didn't it wasn't like a star 534 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: where he looked at best or wasn't start he was 535 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: the most control, wasn't start, We missed the most bats. 536 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: But to me, this was I think his most impressive start. 537 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: Interesting because I think this start laid a really good 538 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: foundation to how he takes his next step and how 539 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: he becomes like a true like mainstay in this rotation, 540 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: Like how he becomes this generation's g niece, even with 541 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: a little bit more flair on top of it, and 542 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: John becoming start talking to me like that, I'm saying, like, 543 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: becoming a guy who like, okay, for the next four years, 544 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: we could be like, this is a guy in our 545 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: rotation who doesn't cost any money, who can rely on 546 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: to be efficient. We can rely on him to be effective, 547 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: and we know that what we're going to get every 548 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: time out. These are the kind of guys six stings 549 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: every time he are the kind of guys that are 550 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: on winning baseball team, especially teams I wind up making 551 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: the playoffs through the season because again you bring them 552 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: up through your system. They're guys that everybody loves. They're 553 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: guys that work really hard. Rough him to the bullpen 554 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Throwing the bullpen in the playoffs will 555 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: be awesome. But again, the thing that he did here 556 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: was two things. One nice bounce back because last two 557 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: Stars weren't very good. Last tear stars take command issues, 558 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: he had some home run issues. It was definitely his 559 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: worst two stars since he came back through the rotation 560 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: late last season. But the other thing that he did, 561 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: which is amazing, because Budo was a guy who has 562 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: four weapons as his pitches. He has a fastball, he 563 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: has a change up, he has a sinker, and he 564 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: has a slider, and he also has a sweeper, but 565 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: sweep is still not really there yet, but it's on 566 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: the way, and none of them are really elite. The 567 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: change up is very good, doesn't get great very well, 568 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: but misses the most bads. Slider's good, the fastball's fine, 569 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: the sinker's fine. What he did was he put all 570 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: those four pitches in cornucopia and he makes them all 571 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: pretty even, so hitters weren't really know what was coming out. 572 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: He threw twenty four fastballs, twenty three change ups, twenty 573 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: two sinkers, twenty sliders, and then six sweepers, and it 574 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: wasn't really very dissimilar to how he was attacking the 575 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: lefties and the Rioties in this one. We talked about 576 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: that with his change up being a pitch that could 577 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: work against both sides because he doesn't have a lot of 578 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: faith on it, just kind of more of right up 579 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: and down. It almost acts more like a splither. Yeah, 580 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: he grips it and has intent to throw it more 581 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: like a change up. But having all that feel for 582 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: those four pitches, there's another start where I thought his 583 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: command wasn't even great either. It was just lower zone 584 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: rates so far this season when thirty five percent of 585 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: his pitches were in the strike zone, they just got 586 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: a lot of chases, and he was really good at 587 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 1: picking off edges, especially with that slitherer and change up, 588 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 1: especially to Rythy's and just each of those pitches had 589 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: six whifths. They're definitely his two best pitches, especially terms 590 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: vass speed. Only three hard hit balls for the Cubs 591 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: in total. It was just he got burned by the 592 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: bottom of the order that nervous double, the wild pitch 593 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: and the piko arms strong sack fly. But was just 594 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: it was a game where he went toe to toe 595 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: with the person who's pitching literally the best in baseball 596 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: right now. Show its at Imanaga true. Asof I told 597 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: you guys about showed up in the off season Mark 598 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: Mark was wrong about I gotta be a hater. We 599 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: can't just agree on everything. I have to hate sometimes. 600 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: But just very cool to see him do that in 601 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: that game against the lineup that has been hitting well, 602 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: used some new wrinkles to attack hitterres in some new ways, 603 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: and just be a pitcher that was mostly unpredictable and 604 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: guys couldn't really figure that out. In the cups. Even 605 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: when he didn't have good command, only thirty five percent 606 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: of his pitches were in the strike zone, the cup 607 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: still couldn't touch him, and he wasn't walking guys either. 608 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: He just won walf That's how my dad was describing 609 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: the game to me because we were obviously at trivia, 610 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: so we were catching some highlights here and there. Didn't 611 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: get to see every pitch, you know, last night until 612 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: this morning, and my dad was like he was kind 613 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: of a little all over the place, but he was 614 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: in control all over the place. He bulldogged a little bit. 615 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: And the best thing about Buddo is that he seems 616 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: to have this kind of innate sense in him, which 617 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: I love with pictures, where if things are getting tough, 618 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: he knows how to respond to the moment. So like 619 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: when he would fall behind the count, he would make 620 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: a pitch. When he had a two to two pitch, 621 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: he would make a pitch. And it was just like 622 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: that kind of sense that he has is like this 623 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: is this is gonna be our mid rotation king, And 624 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm really confident him every single time. He's Love Jose Buddo, 625 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: Love Jose Buddo. Of course we didn't hit show it 626 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: to Atmanaga. He was disgusting. He dominated the hitters. I 627 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: want to give some flowers to him because he's become 628 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: a few flowers. One of the best pitches basebar right now. 629 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: Through the first six starts of a major League career, 630 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: he had the second lowest RA ever, only behind Fernando Alanzuela. Yes, 631 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: Fernando Mania. So the showtime Mania point seven to eight 632 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: for his point three to three, which point through three 633 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: to six starts, and I think he was about twenty 634 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: one years old, Yeah, three years old. Different shows as 635 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: a man. He's been pitching professionally for the decade now. 636 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: But also show Team Naga more wins than earned runs allowed. Wow, 637 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: five verses three. It's almost as many wins. The Chicago 638 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: White Sox almost as many. Well, it's tied for as 639 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: many wins as Regarrett ties for as many wins is 640 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: regaratt so ties him for a maybe league lead man 641 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: might be second now, but the Mintera is five wins too. Really, 642 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: I can't wait for a reliever lead the leaguean wins. 643 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing, gonna break people's from the brains, 644 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: desroy their brains. But yeah, we just didn't hit. The 645 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: bullpen did well out of you know, hasn't allowed to 646 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: hit since Riley greenhome run, which is crazy because I 647 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: chastised them for that as four countries four countries ago 648 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: for me, Yeah you were where were you? It was Italy, 649 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: then Italy, then Italy. Then he's been great. Deacman's still 650 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: been really good. Like this bullpen has been locked down, 651 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: especially with Drew Smith and Brooks Raley both on the IL. 652 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: Two things I think can't be understated. We're missing two 653 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: of our biggest arms, and the bullpen's held it together. 654 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: Some really cool stats about the bullpen this game as well. 655 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: Before we gets all the nonsense. In the ninth inning, 656 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: h Deakman was the only reliever yesterday for the Mets 657 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: in four innings of relief total to gut down one 658 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: zero in account. Wow, the only reliever and did exactly 659 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: one time to throw first first pitch ball in account 660 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: and two to one was the most behind in account 661 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: any reliever was yesterday at all. We have the best 662 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: whip for any bullpen national league. We have the best 663 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: earn run average FRAY bullpen national league with the best 664 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: opponent's batting average, and we have the best earned run 665 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: average by over half of a run and the best 666 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: stuff plus the best strikeout rate. This bullpen was built 667 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: by David Stearns four David Stearns in his image. We 668 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: told you guys about it. We spend hours and hours 669 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: and hours and hours in January and February. Like Dabo, 670 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: we play, we play in this program and in God's 671 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: image and likeness. I don't do that. But with this building. 672 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: We talked about this ballpen way too much in the offseason, 673 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: but this is why, because Horry Lope is a one 674 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: point sixty r hasn't given up a hit in a month. 675 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: Like these guys are the bawling right now and this 676 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: season in a world where Edwin Diaz still isn't Diaz, 677 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: and like, we don't know if I think that guy's coming, 678 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: but it's still not happening a little bit right now. 679 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: Give up the big home run that we just refuse 680 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: talk about Christo Moral and two big home runs this series. 681 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: Everyone blame Mark for that one because he's an asshole. 682 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: But it's amazing with this bullpen do right now regards 683 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: to a big part of it, Daz, a big part 684 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: of it. Hefner, Stearns, and all these other guys who 685 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: are pitching so well every single night, Lopez, Smith and 686 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Railey when they're healthy. Out of the endow, of course, 687 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: Danny Young today and Young today got the wins first 688 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: major league appearance, but just amazing what these guys are 689 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: doing as a collective eater right out of the backbone of 690 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: this team. Let's talk about that ninth inning though, we 691 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: have Pete Alonso on third base, get a little rally going, 692 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: sacfly hit the left field b Jeff McNeil, and Peter 693 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: Alonso thrown out at the plate. I mean, you guys 694 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 1: have saw the play, You've seen it on Twitter, You've 695 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: seen the discourse. The big argument here is not whether 696 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: or not that Pete touched home plate. I think we 697 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: all can agree he did not touch home plate, did 698 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: not missed it. I don't know how he did it, 699 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: no clue. It's Pete Alonso. It's He's gonna do some 700 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: things that make you scratch your head sometimes. But the 701 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: conversation was whether or not Miguel Maya was blocking the plate. Now, 702 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: from a catcher perspective, he did a beautiful job. That 703 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: was about as bad as well as you could have 704 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: blocked the plate the appropriate way. The problem lies where 705 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: the rule is for Major League Baseball and the way 706 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: that the rule is written. One is unbelievably vague, and 707 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: two it's subjective. And I can't wrap my head around 708 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: the idea of having subjective rules, it's not really a 709 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: rule then it's more of a hey, what do you think? 710 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: What's your opinion on what just happened? Actually, the fact 711 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: that we wound up with one of the longest reviews 712 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: that I think anyone has seen since we started doing 713 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: replay in baseball for six seven years now. It took 714 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: minutes and minutes. People in the ballpark were literally like there, 715 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: it was funny to successmu As Barbecue was there. A 716 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: friend like Polic was like, literally, what the hell's going 717 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: on right now? How can this not be resolved? And 718 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: then when the call was made that he did not 719 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: block the plan, Carls Mendoza came out and we had 720 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: a hot mic on him, those great best mess hot 721 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: mic moment a decade and eight years since Terry Collins, 722 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: and he literally wasting on the guy. A's bullshit, that's bullshit, 723 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: that's bullshit. He was like, tell me the problem, and 724 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: the umpire said, taking up to the league office and 725 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: he's not the umpire in that scenario is not wrong, Like, 726 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: but the problem wasn't. I love the Carls Mendoza said this. 727 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, but you guys made the out 728 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: call though on the field yeah, he was like, that's 729 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: where I have the problem with you. That's where the 730 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: beef is, because if you called it was the unfortunate 731 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: case of if he was called safe on the field 732 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: because of blocking the plate, he's going to be safe 733 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: upon replay review. But because he was called out, it 734 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: was later no confirmed or denied that he didn't block 735 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: the plate or whatever the stupid fucking shit is that 736 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: they were talking about. But Carlos Mendoza's scific we had 737 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: beef because he said that there was a memo sent 738 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: out by Major League Brief Baseball during spring training with 739 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: images of what exactly you could and could not do 740 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: when blocking the plate. I will push back and say 741 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: the images that were said that Andy Martine went super 742 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: viral because again he's a whiny bitch, and he was 743 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: talking about these images sent them out, he said the 744 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: actual memo that was sent out, which yes, I don't 745 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: know why he has that memot that memo. I mean, 746 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: he could have asked Carlos Mendoze for it. Carl for 747 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: I can't believe that's that Schemy little bastard. The cattle. Yeah, 748 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: the cat. He's done, great job, a great career for 749 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: anytin it's big, beautiful sandwiches in the press box, in 750 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: the press room before the games. These monsters spent plus 751 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: money at the stadium in the mere I mean me especially, 752 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: not probably the same as me, but the fact that 753 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: all the pictures that people were showing were this were 754 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: not things that Michelmaya was doing. And because the pictures 755 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: were you have to have a foot in front of 756 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: the plate, or you have to be in the inside 757 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: of the baseline straddling the plate. Those things are technically 758 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: not allowed. And knowing the verbiage of it, it said 759 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: you can't be on the plate. But Miguel Maya was 760 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: on the plate. There is no ending fully on the plate. 761 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: But in the pictures that they're showing, which the thing 762 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: that was going viral that everyone's complaining about was like 763 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: these this is a what he was doing, and what 764 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: he was doing, he was more behind the plate. It 765 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: was kind of playing it with the play. I guess 766 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: I thought I did a great job, but I don't 767 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: really have an issue with it. Anybody who's ever caught 768 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: would be like this beautiful job. That's like, you couldn't 769 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: catch the ball, drop the knee as well as he did. There. 770 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: It was perfectly timed, well executed. But the issue lies 771 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: again it's the rules. It's the rules of how this 772 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: this home plate blocking thing because Buster Posey broke his leg. 773 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: This is where it all comes back to. Yeah, well yeah, 774 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: I mean he's just an example. But I'm saying the 775 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: rules because Buster Posey snapped his leg. But the jonahinm 776 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: play is not the same. As much as I wish 777 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: it was, it's not the same. The only beef that 778 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: the Mets really have is that the rule does say 779 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: about being on home plate, and Miguelmaya was for sure 780 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: on home plate. Now, the conversation was also that the 781 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: front corner of the plate was technically open for that. 782 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: But then this leads into all these other stupid discussions 783 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: and problems. It's just that, literally, Pilonzo was blocked from 784 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: touching home plate. Yes, by the catcher's leg, and that's 785 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 1: supposed to be what the rule doesn't allow. So that 786 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: was until you have the ball. Yes, once you have 787 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: the ball, it's allowed, but it happened in a way 788 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: where he technically was blocking it before he had the ball, 789 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: and again swift motion. If this rule wasn't there, the 790 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: Mets would have no problem with this whatsoever, because it's 791 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: it's good baseball at the end of the day. But 792 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: because the rules in place and because it's subjective, the 793 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: Mets have legitimate beef here because there have been plenty 794 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: of times we've been called for stupid shit. I mean 795 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: Francisco and door Jeff Mamial on stolen bases, the second 796 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: been called for blocking the base. I think also this luckily, 797 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: like the fact that we won an exciting game helped 798 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: on Thursday. It helps a lot. And also the fact that, 799 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: like you said, like this isn't it wasn't bad baseball. 800 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: It's a good baseball. It was a play that was 801 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: made by and also the lot of credit to Ian 802 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: Happ and Nick Madrigal. I think he made the cutoff 803 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: or whoever may Yeah, it was just you don't really 804 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: often see and this is I mean, it's got a 805 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: bit of shot pe Alonso for run, like a bit 806 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: of an oath, but like you don't often see like 807 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: a cutoff throw come to home play and actually work, 808 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: especially that close, because usually if a cutoff comes to 809 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: home plate, it's the shortstop out in the short outfield, 810 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: like making a big time throw. But it was right 811 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: there that was a strike. Both guys made perfect throws, 812 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: need to be a perfect play. Still, when you look 813 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: at the replay, like from the outfielders perspective, cannot believe, 814 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: can't believe it that people's throw because he was like 815 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: nine feet from home play when Magical had the ball 816 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: in his hands. But it's hats off to the Cubs. 817 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: We got some great again. I almost think the baseball 818 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: got smiled enough stargging Martay today, showing out two base 819 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: runners at home play and extra innings himself. It was 820 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: just it was a weird play. It's funny that, like 821 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: so often that the Mets can capture the whole baseball 822 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: media's world in a moment in time. And they did 823 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: it again, and they do it again, and they do 824 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: it again, they do it again. We get clicks, we 825 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: know that. But crazy moment in time, crazy way in 826 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: the game. But the end of the day, you also 827 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: can't be that mad, because how the fuck do you win 828 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: a baseball game? Runs zero runs? It doesn't matter, that's 829 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: the story at the end. It's not our it's not 830 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: the umpire's fault. The Mets got shut out, the mess fault, 831 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: swing the bat like yeah, show Team Naga is a 832 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: good picture. We know that. But swing the bat please, like, 833 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: put some balls in play, get something going hard. Hold on, 834 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: I gotta answer this. The front door here we're ordering food. Wow. 835 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: We gotta get to the next game. We gotta get 836 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: to the next game today, nine o'clock, big game. Jack 837 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: Dempsy's Jack Dempsey's. But again, now just moving on there. 838 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: As they get through this, we can start talking about 839 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: the fun stuff. Christian Scott. Yeah, a game that felt 840 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: so awful. Ben Brown was dealing Adrian Howzard gave up 841 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: a huge home runs morell Yeah, we have negative to 842 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: start the game. I had half of mind that I 843 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, maybe should get out of here. 844 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: You know that was sixth ending. But like this sucks, 845 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: but superratt Well, I'll never leave a game early. Super happy. 846 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: We stayed, got down the field level, which was great, 847 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: and the comeback was awesome and all started by mister 848 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: flu game. Francisco Lindor Sir came out of the game 849 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Every I've never seen more tweets about the 850 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: same thing in my entire life. Every single person was 851 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: involved with Mets Tweather. We had, we had the we 852 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: had all the heads. We had Martinoz, we had Michael Meyer, 853 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: we had Heally, we had Britain, we had d Show, 854 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: we had to Coomo, we had Gallops, every single person, 855 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: we had all the networks. That's right, Gazzo, everybody, Regazzo. 856 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: Everyone was like, still just con door, lets gon door, 857 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: let's go door for flulox. Symtems out of the game 858 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: at the game. I get such a big deal because 859 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't miss games ever, and even hilarious that as 860 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: he like basically talked said after the game that he 861 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: was concerned about either throwing up on the field or 862 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: shitting his pants, that he still matches being both games 863 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: and still worked toward the one sixty two. We know 864 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: he's so proud of at the end of every year. Yeah. 865 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Lindor really did turn this game around because 866 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: the Mets started to rally in what was at the 867 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: fifth inning against Ben Brown, which his first two first 868 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: at bat Yeah, first at bat. Uh. And it was 869 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: funny because at that point Ben Brown had been throwing 870 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: a no hitter. They're going into that game and we're like, 871 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: I think I had a conversation with you, Like it 872 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: looks like the Mets don't even know what he throws like, 873 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: they look unprepared for what he's bringing to the plate. 874 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: And if someone can you grab that food for us, 875 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, appreciate it, thank you, Levon. We're 876 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: not editing that out staying in there. But once they 877 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: were able to get to Ben Brown, the game really 878 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: did turn around because they the Cubs put up that 879 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: three spot with the Christopher Morel home run, then the 880 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: Mets got two back that ending. Cubs got more in 881 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: the six, which it was just a little frustrating. But 882 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: then because that was the Jeff McNeil, Marte in between 883 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: end up being a double. Yeah, they came back with 884 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: three and it was like, okay, like there's some life 885 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: in this team. They got some hits. I mean, you 886 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: had two doubles from Francisco Indoor today, Nimo got the 887 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: double late in the game. You had four RBIs from 888 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: Francisco Indoor off the bench, Enjoy Wendel spot shout out 889 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: to him. Shout out to Carlos Mendez as well, putting 890 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: him in the game too. Always. So I think Lindor actually 891 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: was the sixth inning then not the fifth inning, because 892 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: he's got the two RBI double. Then he scored the 893 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: run time game. I believe this double would have been 894 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: or these rbs would have been Nemo. I think, yes, yes, 895 00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah, good call, good call. Yeah, we're running back 896 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: there rehashing through. But just every single time it feels 897 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: like this Mets team is either falling out or again 898 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: today was gonna be falling blow five hundred. There's not 899 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: playing well. They have where'd they go? Where you go, 900 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: where you go? Take it? Take it. I'm gonna go 901 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: to go look for him, go find him. But just 902 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: they have this inate ability as a team. We kind 903 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: of talk about the fact that they fight, the fact 904 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: they have this energy inside them. They just they never 905 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: actually totally fall down. Or every time it seems like 906 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: something really horrible is gonna happen with them. Is he 907 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: not there, he's not here? Where can he go on? Oh? 908 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: Thank god? All right, all right, he's there, but the 909 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: food's not here. Okay, you gotta come back. But just 910 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: anytime we think this is gonna get really bad and 911 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: kind of fall out of favor, they come back. They 912 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: won't die. And even even extra innings, the fact that 913 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: Martine threw the first guy at home and we have 914 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: the greatest thing in with the new rule in baseball, 915 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: where you're the home team and all you need is 916 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: one run to win the game, you have bet the 917 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: fifty percent chance of attaining that with the man's second base. 918 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: Nobody out found the way to blow that found the 919 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: way to give up a run. The first pitch of 920 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: the eleventh inning a double to Nick Madrigal, which is 921 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: like a little bloop shot double, but then that be 922 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: the only run to score because Starring Marte makes another 923 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: heroic throw and point in a point now in a 924 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: week where he's had his worst week offensively of the year, 925 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: makes two of the best defensive plays that we've seen 926 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: by Mets players this season. Basically. Also, Brett Bailey another 927 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: amazing day at third base, played really well. He was 928 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: a player that kind of save Adrian Hows' day where 929 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: there couple men on base and I think it was 930 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: the third inning, Oh yeah, and he made a diving 931 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: in the hall start of the double plays just he 932 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: could throw from Jeff and we even heard David Stern 933 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: has mentioned on Monday he had some media availability the 934 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: press conference that the big reason that Baby is still 935 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: the every day third basement is now defense, which the 936 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: bizarre world that we're living or Brett Bay is the 937 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: plus defensive third basement and it's still can get two 938 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: walks day, but still some bad bat slights and best strikeouts. 939 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: That ops is sinking like a stone. He has some 940 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: good foul ball home runs though, two foul ball home 941 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: runs today with one fall home run. Yeah, well he 942 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: had to himself. And then he also had one yesterday 943 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: foul ball home run by Brett Baby and Lindor had 944 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: the or was it Ladora dj or No, it was McNeil. 945 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: McNeil had the home run. I'm telling you right now, 946 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: the Mets at the most foul ball home runs in 947 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: the league. It's not even close. It's funny because I 948 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: think I don't know if Baseball Savan has made the 949 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: change to add foul ball into exit velocity. But Jeff 950 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: McNeill's foulble home run today was his hardstedt ball this 951 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: year by four miles an hour, one hundred six off 952 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: the bats. I really hope that goes in the ledger. 953 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: But just a beautiful comeback stoling Marte Francisco Indoor being 954 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: the hero four I was off the bench in his 955 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: flu game. Amazing way to end this home stand because 956 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: it was kind of a hot and cold home stand. 957 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: Hot and colds since that Giant series when we're playing 958 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: after we had the series in LA. That game in 959 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: LA they lost ten nothing really just waked us right 960 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: back to goherre Intoto. Being a five team, you are 961 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: the New York Mets. But similar to some of these 962 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: other series we play agains National League teams. The Clubs 963 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: are team we're gonna be directly competing with. They feel 964 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: very comparable to them. They're going to be in a 965 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 1: dogfight with the Brewers and Reds all season for that division, 966 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: and the Pirates if they ever call up Paul Skeens. 967 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: But it's just their team that's going to be fighting 968 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: for playoffs about the whole season. It feels like we 969 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 1: are similar to them. I don't feel over matches all playing, 970 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: not even in the slightest I'd love to play them 971 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Yeah, but just love to get there again. 972 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: Love to get there. But nice to split that series 973 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: with team and Nash League we're competing with and just 974 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: get out of there again as a split because we 975 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: didn't play that well for most of these games and 976 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: move on to the next. Shout out Danny Young his 977 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,919 Speaker 1: first major league win. Today almost was a sleeper. Sale 978 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: didn't realize he pitched for the Braves. Could have done 979 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: his best Michael Tomkin impression and giving up the lead 980 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: in the extras. But luckily Danny Young's built different. He 981 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: actually wants to be on this team. Tonkin, you know 982 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 1: he's on the Yankees now, right or the defense? Wow? Yes, 983 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: he again came into extra innings, gave up two hundred 984 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: runs and was thefa the guy he's gonna be on 985 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: the Braves and he's gonna get big outs against the 986 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: Mets this year. You heard it here. Or it might 987 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: be coming back to the Mets. Who knows, because we 988 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: now have to send somebody down because our boy Mike 989 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: King Christian Scott leaked by Kylie McDaniel during the game 990 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: ten minutes. Like Mark said as the big top of 991 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: the show after the Tristow Morel home run, He's coming 992 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: up to the major leagues. He's gonna pitch on Saturday. 993 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: Talked about him so much with you guys this show, 994 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: so I don't even think I have to tell you 995 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: guys anymore. We could just talk about how excited we 996 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: are for Christians Colly. But again some of the new 997 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: people here. He's throwing ninety three to ninety six is 998 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: top of out, ninety seven ninety eight. He's got a 999 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: new sweeper that's awesome this year, sweeps right across his 1000 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: own that comes in low eighties. He has a gyro 1001 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: slider that he learned from axtuers Are originally years ago 1002 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: when he was still University of Florida. That's a Hiates 1003 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: pitch and he's got a nice split change but also 1004 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: comes in mid to hiaates. He's a beast on the mound. 1005 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: He works quickly, he has great extension. He has a 1006 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: really flat release, saying we'll get life on that fastball. 1007 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: He's the best pitching prospect the Mets are gonna have 1008 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: debut in a decade. Steven Mass is the last time 1009 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: that pitching prospects now as much fanfare as Christian Scott 1010 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,760 Speaker 1: will have these next few games. Yeah, I mean, he's 1011 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: he's hyped and the fact that it's happening in Tampa 1012 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: might not be the worst thing either. There's gonna be 1013 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: no fans there, there's gonna be is he from Florida, 1014 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: Christian Scott. I think he is from Florida. See, let's 1015 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: see where he's from. It's funny because I'm looking at 1016 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: their notes now that wrote this morning from for this 1017 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: podcast and Jeremy Heffner and media availability, so it's not 1018 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: a local Tampa, but it's closer than New York High 1019 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: School forul Florida though. Yeah, nice, but Calvary Christian powerhouse. 1020 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: We've talked about that before. Hell yeah, but it's funny 1021 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: that a couple of days ago, I think it might 1022 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: have actually been Wednesday. In his media availability, Jeremy Hefner 1023 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: said that Christian Scott's but we're gonna build him up 1024 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: like Reed Garrett, which is huge from my read. Garrett 1025 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: starting starting pitching agenda, but he said the time will come. 1026 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: And he just had another minor league starts this week 1027 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: where it's funny that he missed the least bats he's had, 1028 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 1: and then he started Triple A this year but also 1029 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: gave up exactly one home run and two hits and 1030 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: one in run because that's what he does. But it 1031 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,879 Speaker 1: just back to back starts to goa the same Triple 1032 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 1: A team, Columbus Clippers, which have commons Are is probably 1033 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: the best hitter in Triple A right now in general, 1034 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 1: but he was throwing a lot of change ups, which 1035 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: again I think that was the met directive, like, we 1036 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: want to see if this change up is ready, you 1037 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: think you're a major league pitcher. Baseball America also because 1038 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: now they're doing monthly updates, which is so cool for 1039 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: prospects list. That's the thing that most prospect lets miss. 1040 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: I mean, we love fangrass, we love prospectives, but they 1041 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 1: ont update very often. Emily pipeline updates once every three 1042 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: or four years. But the fact that Baseball America is 1043 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: doing every single month. Christian Scott in a month of 1044 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: Triple A data went from number one hundred number sixty two. Yep. 1045 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: It's a really relevant jump. And now he's coming up 1046 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: to the major leagues and I'm really excited about it. 1047 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: So I gonna be locked into sports on Saturday hopefully 1048 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: the next win game six years. It can sound bad. 1049 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: I know, they hopefully win games acually would have to 1050 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 1: worry about it. You could be hated. That's fine. I 1051 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: think Scot is gonna help us out. He's gonna be bleeds, 1052 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: orange and blue. I'm telling you, Scott Foster's a Nick fan. 1053 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 1: But if we got Christian Scott ed Nick's going on 1054 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: at the same time. I actually I don't know Saturday 1055 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: for the Mets of the day game or night game. 1056 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: But also relevant to Chrisian Scott called up Cars said 1057 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: team's gonna work on a six man rotations, So I 1058 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: was gonna bring up so Louis, everyone's gonna move back 1059 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: to pitch on Sunday, and then that puts Scott on 1060 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: on track to make his first home start next Friday 1061 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: night City Friday or Saturday. It's one of those. It'd 1062 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: be Friday because six man rotation. Oh, they have an 1063 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,760 Speaker 1: off day, an off day. Oh, so it'd be Saturday, okay, 1064 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: But next weekend against the Atlanta Breaks, which I mean 1065 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: you talk about throwing a kid into the fire, Christian Scott, 1066 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: you like pitching the majors, Well, guess what now you 1067 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: have to face the best lineup in baseball. Yeah. But honestly, 1068 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: I kind of like it because we've been telling you 1069 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: guys this, I've been saying it true talent, Christian Scott 1070 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: might be the best starting pitcher in this organization. And 1071 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: if not, right now, that's healthy. It's healthy. It's healthy. 1072 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 1: If not, he's second best behind Louis Averno. And also 1073 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,720 Speaker 1: we're getting some cod I we're personally can together rehab 1074 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: appearance soon. We hadn't throw a bullpen session on Monday 1075 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: into the field in the city connect Jersey, so we 1076 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: could be looking at like we've been saying all along, 1077 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: early June, which is the best case scenario for COLDI, 1078 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: which would be amazing. But and depending on Christian Scott pitches. 1079 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: If you pitches well, knee how to Adrian Hauser. But 1080 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: if he's not pitching that well, you can sum back 1081 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: down get him back going. I hope, I hope he 1082 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: makes Adrian Houser nih how I don't know if he 1083 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: has options. Check on fangers. Howser has options. I'm sure 1084 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: they moved in the bullpens to be the swing guy 1085 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: because we also have We've had some good Yeah, we've 1086 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: had some good rehab appearances by both Daved Pearson and 1087 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: Tyler McGill. So suddenly and joe the case he keeps 1088 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: pitching on triple at really well, he Joey Lucas's only 1089 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: really ever pitched while I was a Met, I know. 1090 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: So suddenly we have a situation where this never happened. 1091 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: Mets fans, I'm gonna say sand these guys. Never no 1092 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 1: options for Adrianauser. Okay, so he's not going to the 1093 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: madge Leagus. We almost have too much pitching. Don't say 1094 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: those words. We have a lot of guys right now. 1095 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: We got a lot of guys. It's gonna be crowded 1096 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: in this rotation. So again, these guys are probably a 1097 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: bullpensos besides for Daniel Nunias and Danny Young. But Fujinami, Yeah, dude, 1098 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: he's not finding horrible. It is my bad guy's hands 1099 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: up on that one. But you know what, he was free, 1100 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: and I think it's my co you might come around 1101 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: in July, July or something and just be good again. Yeah, 1102 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: he still throws a hundred miles an hour. We're still 1103 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: waiting for that first hundred guys. We're still waiting for 1104 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: that first hundred. Edwin's got up to what ninety seven, 1105 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 1: ninety eight, ninety eight is Max, We're like, I think 1106 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: we're like seven hundred days and now I think we're 1107 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: like five hundred something day. It's gonna be a hot 1108 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: June where Severino just touches ninety nine point eight. Now 1109 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: the town doesn't count, doesn't count. Now we're gonna get 1110 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: the hundred. But again, I don't even know how much 1111 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: more say about Christi Scott. Besides everything we've said for 1112 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: the last couple of months and we're excited becides that 1113 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: we're really fucking is excited. And this again like this 1114 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 1: is something that like message we should le be proud 1115 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: of this moment, be happy for this. This is the 1116 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: first real pitching prospect in a decade circle the date 1117 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: we did it. We're back, we made it, and we're 1118 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: gonna have some The pitching labs gonna keep moving.

But the fact that he has 1149 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: a fifty percent strike out rate nearly and is still 1150 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: not allowed to run, it's hard to fight. And he's 1151 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 1: still like a young kid, so he still has a 1152 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: projectable frame and he's getting these fastball whifs. Talk about 1153 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: you guys, last episode of the Highest Fastball with rates 1154 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: and everyone in the minor league.

So what if Christians with If 1158 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: Jonah tong is ninety three ninety four becomes ninety six 1159 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: to ninety seven just like Christian Scott and then you're like, 1160 00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: oh fuck, then we have a beast. Then we have 1161 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: maybe a potential frontline starter again. So it's just everything 1162 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: is pitching. Lab is doing amazing protein in that kid. Yeah, 1163 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: the other guy we gotta talk about. I know you're 1164 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: gonna do the hitting today, but I want to talk 1165 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: about Nolan McLean because before it, Yeah, he get his 1166 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: third home run of the year for Brooklyn. He's got 1167 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,240 Speaker 1: a fifty percent strikeout rate and in eight to fifty 1168 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 1: ops in hy A right now, which is ridiculous. Noel 1169 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: Oltani eight twenty ops. The whole world's getting hit to him. 1170 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: Everyone's between you about him. If you guys are in 1171 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: deep dynasty leagues, he's got like forty man rosters. Pick 1172 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: him up because I started doing it. And just another 1173 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: nice little start Shorty, but the goody last week in Brooklyn. 1174 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: Three innings, two strikeouts, one hit, one walk, only thirty 1175 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: seven pitches by I'm trying to save the arm a 1176 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: little bit, still working becoming starter for the first time, 1177 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,280 Speaker 1: but he's becoming one of the most interesting, exciting prospects 1178 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: any position, any team the whole Major Leagues. Anytime you're 1179 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: hitting pitch, and I mean he has a fifty eight, 1180 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: so it's sure the hitting is you know, kind of 1181 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: with quotation works, but he's hitting home runs. He's doing 1182 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, which we know is not theist place to hit, 1183 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: Like really impressive stuff from Nolan McLean. He's looked phenomenal 1184 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: and we have a max ex of velocity Christia Joe 1185 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 1: Domato on him from the FCL backfield. I think during 1186 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 1: the spring the hundred thirteen miles now way harder than Nolan. 1187 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,720 Speaker 1: Aaronado's ever hit a ball ways, ever hit the baseball, 1188 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: which is pretty good. I was pretty good, not everything, 1189 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: but just we got stuff right now then you want 1190 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: to take your boy right there. I got no h 1191 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,800 Speaker 1: of course. Blade had his best appearance of the season 1192 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: six and two thirds nine k's one earned run, two hits, 1193 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: two walks. E's down to one point three five in Binghamton, 1194 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: and he's just doing that thing. And I think this 1195 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 1: might work for Blade because I think we've we've known 1196 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: from conversations we have people. He's not a big like 1197 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: all eyes on me personality, doesn't really care about being 1198 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: on the cameras, just wants to play baseball pitch. He's 1199 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: Blade did Well. I mean you could get that from 1200 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: the name. It's just like he's a country boy. And 1201 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: I think what's going on with him is really cool 1202 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: is that he's being really really good, but he's almost 1203 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: being slept on because the Mets have more exciting players 1204 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 1: that you didn't necessarily know their names of right now, 1205 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: like a Jonah Toong, like Nolan MacLean hitting and pitching, 1206 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: even Christian Scott getting the call up where Blade did 1207 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: Well has been one of the best minor league pitchers, 1208 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: of our best pitchers of minor league baseball as well 1209 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: this year, but you just don't hear it because of 1210 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: all the other hype of the guys. I love what 1211 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: he's doing. Again, was my favorite pitcher in that draft 1212 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: class and that's got him the second round. Just an 1213 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: absolute masterclass. Yeah, and again at one point three is 1214 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: one of the lowest in all the upper miners. And 1215 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: it's just he's he's just pitching well. He kind of 1216 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,919 Speaker 1: feels like, to me, another guy that winds up coming 1217 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 1: to this team and being mid rotation Stalworth, guy who 1218 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: could just pitch and pitch and pitch horse. I'm not 1219 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: gonna say he's not like Jordan Montgomery, but the idea 1220 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: I think to me is that like just a big 1221 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 1: dude is gonna come out and give you six innings and 1222 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: like eight, there's gonna be a couple of years. He 1223 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: has a three five yards is gonna be a couple 1224 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: years as a four. But like at the end of 1225 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: the day, you're gonna have reliable innings with some good 1226 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 1: stuff and you're not gonna be like, oh shit, here 1227 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 1: is Jaredikof. And again he's very cerebral on the mount 1228 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 1: so he's talking about a lot. He has six different 1229 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: pitches sometimes seven that he'll use per his starts, and 1230 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: he'll be able to mix and match them into matchups 1231 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: into games. Ever, he's feeling whatevery, he's not feelings. So 1232 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,839 Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's kind of like if Jordan 1233 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: Montgomery and like you, Darvish like kind of the mind 1234 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 1: meld did for a moment where he still gets that 1235 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: good velocity but is not a leade. He is a 1236 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: big boy, but he's not a lefty and he can 1237 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: just throw a lot of stuff at you and someone's 1238 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: gonna stick and you're not really gonna know what's coming. 1239 00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: I wonder because I see the other names that you 1240 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: have list here is prospect arms are doing crazy stuff. 1241 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: You want to read them out real quick before I 1242 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: give my opinion, but I'll do one just again. We're 1243 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: gonna shout out a few guys really briefly. We wanted 1244 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: to focus on Christian Scott a lot for this prospect report, 1245 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: but Austin Chrozer, Missouri guy we've talked about a lot 1246 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: who just has crazy gross sprit. We from throwing ninety 1247 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: to one hundred and during his time in college. Another 1248 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: great appearance for Port Saint Lucy nine strike outs of 1249 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 1: four to two thirds innings.

Four innings, ten strike 1257 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: guys his last appearance. Yeah, I piggyback David Peters's rehabs start. 1258 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: Where I was going to go with this off of 1259 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: the Blade thing is I wonder if the Mets, in 1260 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 1: their evaluation of players too, are looking for guys that 1261 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: are sponges like a Christian Scott, like a Blade Tidwill, 1262 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: like a Jonahan, guys who are going to be able 1263 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: to make those adjustments. Because of course there are guys 1264 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: that are coming out of college who probably have better stuff, 1265 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: coming out of high school probably have better stuff. But 1266 00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: one thing that has made this Mets pitching lap different 1267 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,760 Speaker 1: stuff that you've seen with the Rays and the Dodgers 1268 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: and the teams that have been successful with in the 1269 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: past is the ability to adapt. It's not just getting 1270 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: them and making their stuff that they have better, Guys 1271 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 1: are learning new pitches, guys are being told to do 1272 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 1: different things, and they've been comfortable with and seemingly the 1273 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 1: transition has been easy and smooth. Something There's something I've 1274 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: heard Kyle Bolly talk about. Who is the founder of 1275 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: drive Line, former pitching coordinator for the Reds, current pitching coordinator. Yeah, 1276 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 1: for well, I think he's I think is his protege, 1277 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 1: oh for the Red Sox. But I know Eric Gergis 1278 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: came from that early iteration of drive Line as well. 1279 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: But body talked specifically when he was the one who 1280 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: was kind of helping to craft their twenty twenty draft clots. 1281 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:38,800 Speaker 1: You remember some of the pictures the Reds took in 1282 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Top your head, cause I can't remember, but 1283 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: I know we talked about someone specifically where he said 1284 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: that this is a Christian roa or I don't know 1285 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: Minnesota look, but he was talking specifically about getting guys 1286 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 1: in new organization who were going to be cerebral, who 1287 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: were going too were ready and capable of learning new 1288 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: things and the ability to learn new pitches. I've heard 1289 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: people say that like the biggest ability pitcher could have 1290 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 1: is learning a new pitch, and there's some picture that 1291 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,280 Speaker 1: just simply have it and some pictures that just simply don't, 1292 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: which is a weird thing to think about, but just 1293 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 1: being able to Christian Row, that's Christian Row, Yeah, but 1294 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,719 Speaker 1: is anyone else there? Joe Boyle? I think it was 1295 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 1: specifically about Joe Boyle taking like a high upside arm 1296 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: who had need to be worked with, but was willing 1297 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: to be clay that right now exactly. It happened pretty quickly. 1298 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: Christian Rowe will be a major leaguer as well. A 1299 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 1: good picture, but it's just the fact that this is 1300 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 1: they're being able to learn and being able to apply 1301 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 1: the things you learn is a skill like that's something 1302 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: that not everyone has and a lot of people want 1303 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,320 Speaker 1: and probably something that will help you get to the 1304 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: major leagues and become more successful sooner. So maybe that 1305 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: is something that Mets have taken into their process of 1306 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: players development here and their process of scouting and analysis, 1307 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 1: because it does seem like all these guys could come 1308 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 1: into this Mets team are willing to accept the data, 1309 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: are willing to accept the training. A lot of the 1310 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 1: guys are learning new pitches on the fly, Scott Tidwell. 1311 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,359 Speaker 1: All these guys have done this Boodo, even someone who 1312 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 1: was a holdover but still in the organization already like 1313 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: they're learning new things, they're quickly applying them in games, 1314 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 1: and they're able to use them well almost immediately as 1315 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: we're buying in. I like that. That's something that organizational 1316 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: way smart and great to hear. Now, on the offensive 1317 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: side of things, we're gonna give you some different names. 1318 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,439 Speaker 1: We're not gonna necessarily talk about any of the big 1319 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 1: big ones. Ryan Clifford's gonna be the biggest one here. 1320 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 1: But I want to talk about Christopher Suerro with you 1321 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: guys from the Bronx. Twenty years old, five 't eleven 1322 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: to two hundred pounds. It's been raking in Port Saint 1323 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: Lucy from the Bronx. Bronx kid raking in Port Saint 1324 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: Lucy raked in the FCL last year, which is the 1325 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 1: Complex League, the Rookie League. And what's interesting about him 1326 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: is he's playing first base catcher in left field in 1327 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 1: Port Saint Lucy. That's an interesting combo of positions where 1328 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: they want to get that bat in the lineup. It 1329 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: seems like any way possible and they're trying to figure 1330 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 1: out what the position is gonna be best for him. 1331 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 1: He got up to one hundred and eight miles per 1332 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 1: hour in spring training this year, which is really big 1333 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: for a twenty year old, and right now three nineteen 1334 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: average four to forty seven on base, five to twenty 1335 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: two slugging with a one eighty six WRC plus and 1336 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: at two h three ISO. The dude is just absolutely 1337 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 1: smacking the ball, and from the few clips that I 1338 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: have seen of him, really nice compact swing, gets to 1339 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 1: the ball quickly. A lot of good things out of 1340 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 1: him for a guy that you probably haven't heard of 1341 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,839 Speaker 1: before today with Christopher Suerrow, no, totally, I had never 1342 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: heard of him. Fortunay, I'm looking for some hither stats 1343 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: in my twether, but you keep going. Nick LaRusso is 1344 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 1: another guy. He was a ninth round pick out of 1345 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 1: Maryland last year. Fun fact, he drove in one hundred 1346 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 1: RBIs at Maryland in the twenty twenty three season. Not 1347 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,280 Speaker 1: many people in college have ever done that, So dude 1348 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: just mashes. He plays first base in third base. He's 1349 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: currently in Brooklyn. He is a little bit technically old 1350 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 1: for the level, twenty three years old. Twenty two is 1351 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: kind of the average age in Brooklyn. But whatever. Hitting 1352 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: two ninety five with a three seventy five on base 1353 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: five point forty one, slugging nine to sixteen ops two 1354 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: home runs in Brooklyn. We know it's weird over there, 1355 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: but to see him hitting that well consistently is always nice. 1356 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: And he's a New York kid as well, from Carmel, 1357 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: New York and a big ten Carmel. Carmel, Carmel, Carmel, Carmel. 1358 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,359 Speaker 1: That might be Carmel. That's no way, it's Carmel. No. 1359 00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: The only reason I say is because the Cooperstown. When 1360 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 1: I went to Coopertowns a twelve year old, the Carmel 1361 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 1: Cubs were there. Yeah, they cool Pittons. They just like 1362 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 1: a Carmel. They got smoked, they stunk. They're terrible Caramel. 1363 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: He wasn't on the team. He's a lot younger than us. 1364 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: Now for a big name for you guys, Ryan Clifford 1365 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: twenty three percent walk right in Brooklyn. Crazy awesome k rate, 1366 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: not awesome, not hitting for any average, not hitting for 1367 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,520 Speaker 1: any power. But of course we know as a left 1368 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: handed hitter in Brooklyn, you're hitting to the beach, you 1369 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,360 Speaker 1: were hitting off the waves, and especially in April, especially 1370 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: the April we've had in Brooklyn, it has been freezing cold, 1371 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: it has been windy. I can only imagine how many 1372 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: flag balls he's hit. Well that just go nowhere, and 1373 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,879 Speaker 1: he's probably fuck this place, And that play discipline tells 1374 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: me that there's like ultra passivity happening with Ryan Clifford, 1375 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: where it's probably again like a team directive. Make sure 1376 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 1: you find your pitch, make sure you're wait for your pitch, 1377 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,800 Speaker 1: like we want to see you do damage, so we 1378 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 1: want to see you swing as many pitches in the 1379 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: hardest zone as possible, which I'm sure like something like 1380 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 1: Ryan Clifford, you probably know that as the stuff is 1381 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: bad and you're such a big kid when you're growing 1382 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: up and playing mostly high school and like complex baseball, 1383 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: probably able to get to a lot of stuff. Yeah, 1384 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 1: with those arms, you're probably able to even a pitch 1385 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 1: that might not be the pitch, you're able to drive 1386 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: it a long way. But you keep going up in 1387 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: the level skill upro minors, eventually major leagues and likely 1388 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 1: won't happen anymore. So the passivity is something that's interesting, 1389 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: although that I'm not gonna say it's like go they're bad, 1390 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 1: but definitely something to watch. Yes, Nick mor Ribido, dog, 1391 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: your boy has been playing really, really well. Just to 1392 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: update you on his numbers, nineteen percent walk great, eighteen 1393 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 1: percent k rate, a two twelve WRC plus, which is 1394 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 1: I believe maybe the highest and all of minor league baseball. 1395 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:07,880 Speaker 1: Think it's top five in all of minor league baseball, 1396 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 1: which is pretty discussing three ninety one average, five one 1397 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: five twenty eight on base I'm sorry, Nick mor Beato, 1398 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 1: let me give you those seven points because you're getting 1399 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 1: on base more than you are getting out, which is ridiculous. 1400 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: A five point two slugging for a ten to fifty 1401 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 1: oh ps, I mean, what the fuck? That's insane. The 1402 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: thing more be those still is the fact that he's 1403 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: not getting to his power. He's hitting a lot of singles. 1404 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 1: He stills run it like a fifty percent hard hit rate, 1405 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 1: but he still hasn't gotten a ball in play over 1406 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: that like one hundred and five mile an hour with threshold. 1407 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: I really want to see this. He's a major league 1408 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,720 Speaker 1: power from him, but the fact he's making his contact, 1409 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 1: he's a great athletes using his legs like it's a 1410 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,640 Speaker 1: really good sign from one of the Mets high draft 1411 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,399 Speaker 1: picks the last few years. And then quick last slow 1412 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 1: shout to Jose Perozo, who's been a lifelong minor league 1413 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 1: with the Mets. He's twenty four years old out in Binghamton. 1414 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 1: I think he has an ops in eight hundred's a 1415 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: WRC plus at like one sixty one seventy playing first 1416 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: base and third base well in Binghamton. A guy who 1417 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't know whatever impact he will truly make it 1418 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: the major league level, but someone that could be a 1419 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 1: free player maybe that we use one day to fill 1420 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: in these Joey Wendel roles where we don't have to 1421 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 1: pay guy too million dollars instead totally, and I want 1422 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,919 Speaker 1: to shout out Twitter count is doing some cool minor 1423 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 1: league sackcast data.

So go through with James Easy. 1454 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 1: So pitching matchups for this weekend down in uh not 1455 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,480 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, in Saint Peter, Saint Petersburg. We got wow, 1456 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: give me another great ninety three mile hour bowl. On 1457 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 1: Friday night Jose Quintana versus Aaron Savali and Saturday the 1458 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: Big One seven fifteen on Fox. Cool. Yeah, all the 1459 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 1: big moments is you're no Gary keithan Ron. I know 1460 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,399 Speaker 1: it kind of sucks. I wish we had those guys 1461 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: on the I want to hear Ron. I haven't watched 1462 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: so much because I've been at games too. Yeah, but 1463 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 1: we have a true race off in this one. Louis 1464 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 1: Christian Scott of course versus Zach Lyttel. Zach Lytel is fascinating, 1465 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: key all over that guy. Yeah, for years I've been 1466 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 1: Zach club. I fucking dropped in one of my deepest times. 1467 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,440 Speaker 1: The leads me off season a roster crunch. I'm kicking 1468 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,839 Speaker 1: myself for it, but raise it's one of the most 1469 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: impressive things they've done as a franchise that they've converted him, 1470 00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,879 Speaker 1: who was like not a very good believer into a star. 1471 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,760 Speaker 1: Now he's an exceptional star. There just a heavy dosage 1472 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: of fastballs and sliders and it's just got that good 1473 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 1: action on them too, knows and throw them hard. But 1474 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 1: thence Sunday Mattine won for the Luisa runovs Rye Pepio 1475 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 1: another ace off. Pepio has been when the breakout stars 1476 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 1: this season. They got the Rays got him in the 1477 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,880 Speaker 1: Tyler Glastow trade, and he's looking like a high end 1478 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 1: starting pitcher already, which has a few small tweets, which 1479 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 1: is the Rays thing. He used to throw fastballs low 1480 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 1: and now he throws him high. It's basically it. I 1481 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 1: will say nothing demeaning about their offense, because nothing at all, 1482 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 1: but we we know what happened the last time we've 1483 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 1: done that. But YONDI Diaz is you know, go on 1484 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,200 Speaker 1: Baseball Reference, look at the Rays lineup. You can make 1485 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 1: your opinion, but I will tell you the facts. Yondi 1486 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,879 Speaker 1: Diaz is hitting two eleven with a two seventy nine 1487 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: on base two seventy six, five fifty six. Oh ps, 1488 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,879 Speaker 1: Jose Caballiro, your boy has been one of the better 1489 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 1: hitters weirdly enough about league average. Yeah, so take that 1490 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: for what it is. Amed Rosario is Pertz, Brooklyn's own 1491 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 1: Richie Pelasios has been great. He's such a been really 1492 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 1: really good getting the shot former Cardinals outfielders exactly. I 1493 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: was about to say that they And there's another thing 1494 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 1: where he went to drive line and worked some of 1495 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: the races coaches then too. In this offseas now he's 1496 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 1: getting too significantly more power than he ever had his 1497 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,840 Speaker 1: entire professional career, which it says a lot about the Cardinals. 1498 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: He's got Randy a rose Arena who's gonna make a 1499 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,759 Speaker 1: big play. Yeah, razaur and Raina is another guy who 1500 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: right now has played below what you expect of Randy 1501 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 1: Rosoranda usually it's all gonna say about him. Oh wait, No, 1502 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 1: they didn't send Jose Sirie down. Was he suspended because 1503 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 1: of the fight with adniry Rebay? Maybe I think he 1504 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,759 Speaker 1: was could have been. Yeah, that was a crazy fighting case. 1505 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 1: You guys didn't see it. I don't want to find that, 1506 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 1: Amy Rebey, No, No, it wouldn't be me. And then 1507 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: last guy shout out Easach Pres. Another guy just went 1508 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 1: and went to the Rays baseball lab and became a superstar. 1509 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 1: He's the man. I got a shout out. Shout out 1510 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: Phil Maiton all the idiot Mets fans who wanted to 1511 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 1: sign him this offseason. He's got a fat seven six 1512 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 1: r through ten innings, just saying no. And Rays right 1513 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: now are kind of stuck where they're not playing very well, 1514 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 1: but they're still kind of hanging around five hundred, which 1515 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 1: is where you want to play. For not playing well, 1516 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 1: I a little below five hundred now. I think I swept 1517 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 1: by the White Sox, I guess, but they have a 1518 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 1: lot of help on the way. TODs Bradley's dominating triple A. 1519 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 1: Shamee Bos on his way back too, So nice time 1520 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: to play the Rays right now. Will Sevenaro is probably 1521 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: gonna get called up soon. Junior Camerarra as a freak of 1522 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 1: nature and we don't have to see him. He hits 1523 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 1: home runs. I know the triple A baseball's bullshit, but 1524 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,279 Speaker 1: he hits home runs. I can't even fathom sometimes in 1525 00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 1: Triple A these highlights. But they're doing a thing right 1526 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 1: now where they basically have a rotation spot that's being 1527 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,280 Speaker 1: shared by like Tyler Alexander and Rosmo Ramirez. Yeah, it's 1528 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 1: embarrassing right now for them, but it's like they're gonna 1529 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 1: get these guys back. Sean Armstrong too, like they've they're 1530 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 1: dealing with some really really just it's just incomplete team 1531 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 1: right now, yes, which is kind of when you spend 1532 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 1: no money, like it's gonna wind up happening of the 1533 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: course season. Also Peter Fairbanks on the IL after his 1534 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 1: great rant about sucking Lewis saving against the Rangers a 1535 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 1: few weeks ago. But just this team isn't playing well, 1536 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: but they have a lot of talent. They are pesky, 1537 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 1: and we're facing their three best starting pitchers. I guess technically, 1538 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 1: bury them, just bury them, just enough of this bullshit. 1539 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 1: Two runs a game, score five six seven runs a game. 1540 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 1: Let's win. Yes, would like to see them win. And 1541 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: Christians got weekend. Christians gott weekend. Let's go ahead and 1542 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,600 Speaker 1: check to see if we have any reviews that we 1543 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 1: have not yet caught up on if on Apple podcasts. 1544 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: I go to here.
