Speaker 1: host draftneck Mark Mark Luiso here with James Sheiano. Jeter

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: had no range talking about the New York Mets series

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: finishing it up against the Atlanta Braves last night. I

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: guess you guys are gonna hear this in the morning,

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: and it was another weird series. The Mets offense has

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: been all over the place. We got some more injury

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: news here, we got guys making debuts, we got guys

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: coming back from the Il McNeil confordo back Nimo on

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: the way. It's been a really, really weird week as

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: a Mets fan, and I think it's gonna get better.

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Game four, we ended up winning. As a

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: little spoiler for those of you who didn't watch, but

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: you're all big Mets fans, you've watched the games. But

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: we had a good start and a good end to

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: the series. The middle was not so much. So we

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about here. Of course, as

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,720

Speaker 1: the YouTube channel Mets Up Podcast. No video this week

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: because I am currently in North Carolina at the MLB

36
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Draft combine and the internet at the Comfort Suites is

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: not particularly great, so me and James had to cancel

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: the video portion because it was just lagging so badly.

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do audio only this time, but for

40
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: the next episode, I should be in a place with

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: stable internet, so we should get videos back then, So

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: apologies for that. At make sure if you are listening

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Whatever that thing actually is, that's a mystery. But after

48
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: that long winded intro, James, how you doing, how's New

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: York treating you? How's how's the city feel with the

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: Mets being in such an interesting scenario right now?

51
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: The city's great man. There is tons of people walking

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: on the street every single day, Mets hats, Mets shirts,

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: Mets jerseys. I love Let's go metsing a stranger. It's

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: one of my favorite past times to do in New York. Really,

55
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: anywhere where I see anyone wearing Mets here, it gets

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: a good gets a weird look like twenty five percent

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: of the time, but just you build a lot more

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: more love for the team that way.

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: You usually like catch people off guard and they're like, oh, yeah,

60
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: that's right, I'm wearing Mets stuff. I was very tempted

61
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: to do it to the Mets scout today at the

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Draft combine. I saw him. He was decked out in

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: full Mets gear, and I was about to be like,

64
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: let's go mess. I'm like, he honestly probably doesn't care,

65
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: so you know what, I'm gonna not be awkward.

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: Dude. Also, like, at what point is like that guy

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: is not even a fan, Like he's just at work.

68
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's at work, and he cares about getting young

69
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: guys that will eventually make it, and I'm sure once

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: they do. He's like, I did my job, and as

71
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: long as I'm still here, I'm feeling good.

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: Exactly.

73
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: So let's happ into Game one here, because we had

74
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: de Gram back, and we had the weird doubleheader of course,

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: the seven inning games, but that's been a little bit

76
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: of a specialty of the Mets this year, and luckily

77
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: for us. In Game one, like I said, we had

78
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: de Gram and de Grom was so sick again, Like

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: this guy, it doesn't make any sense coming off of

80
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: his shoulder injury, coming off of the elbow injury. It

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he's ever gonna slow down. Everything he

82
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: was doing was fantastic.

83
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: Again, dude, so fantastic, even just from the first inning

84
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: on Monday. It was Monday after noon, which feels like

85
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: a lifetime ago. He was so locked in and ready

86
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: to rock, Like especially the beginning to top of that

87
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: Braves order is terrifying. From Acuna Freeman Albees, like, I

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: don't know if there's any team in baseball with a

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: better one two three.

90
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: I was literally just about to say that is probably

91
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: one of the best one two threes in baseball, like

92
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: top five at worst.

93
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: Dude, one of the best I even remember, like in

94
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: our lifetimes. And he just dominated them off the jump

95
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: and you're like, all right, we're back. Everything's good. That

96
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: at bat to all Bees in the first inning on

97
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Monday really put into perspective like what was happening and

98
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: just the fact that Jake was okay. It was similar

99
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: to that Domingo Laba at bat in Arizona by the

100
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: month ago, which started Arizona skid, which is crazy think

101
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: about that was a month ago and Arizona still losing

102
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: games from that. It's like to pack also were comparing

103
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: Domingo Laba like someone who basically doesn't belong in the

104
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: major leagues to Azzi Albi's a perennial All Star. Is funny,

105
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: but Jake did the same thing to him, where he

106
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: just dropped Slyther Slyder Slyder on his back foot, and

107
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: he was completely clueless.

108
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just de Gram has the ability to

109
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: make some of the best hitterers in baseball look like

110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: they don't actually know what sport they're playing. That's what

111
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: he did to the Braves in Game one. What's crazy, too,

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: is because he had those three perfect innings from his

113
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: last start, and he I think had another what like

114
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: two or three perfect innings in this game. Right he

115
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: was en route or on route to technically get a

116
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: perfect game at some point, and I think I don't

117
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: remember who broke it up, but he was like he

118
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: was doing stuff that You're like, this dude's just having

119
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: one of those days. Yes, he's not gonna be able

120
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: to throw a no hitter or a perfect game because

121
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: of the seven h inning doubleheader rule, and you get

122
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the massive Bumgarner thing going on here with the no

123
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: hitter can't officially count, but he was just so dominant.

124
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Was like, I think you'd allow it because of the

125
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: three perfect innings from the game before, and then if

126
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: he did like another six perfect You're like, that's that's

127
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: a perfect game in my eyes.

128
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that'll definitely count he actually has retired. I

129
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 2: think it was thirty four consecutive batthers in the first inning,

130
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: which is more outs than a perfect game.

131
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: That's so silly. That's so silly. And he hasn't allowed

132
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: a run. And how long I know he had a

133
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: streak going.

134
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: I think it is also in the thirties thirty something innings.

135
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: He was also the first pitcher in baseball history to

136
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: allow one or zero runs in twelve consecutive starts, not

137
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: his first twelve starts this season. He's definitely the first

138
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: pitcher to ever do that, but the only pitcher in

139
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: the history of baseball to allow one or zero runs

140
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: in any twelve consecutive starts.

141
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Like I always love to mention it on my channel that,

142
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: like when we watch Mike Trout, we're watching the best

143
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: player in baseball, but also one of the greatest to

144
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: ever play the game, if not the best. With Jacob

145
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: de Gram, we're not watching just the best pitcher in baseball.

146
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: We're watching possibly one of the greatest to ever do it.

147
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: There's every single time he goes out on the field,

148
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: he has the ability to do something special and you

149
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: should seriously stop what you're doing, turn on the Mets

150
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: and at least watch Jacob deGrom when he's on the mat.

151
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: I've had no reservations about saying that either. I think

152
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: Jacob deGrom right now is in the midst of one

153
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: of the best pitching runs the baseball world has ever seen.

154
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: He's not even right, Like there were times on Mondy

155
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: where he kind of lost control, like the people the

156
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: Braids were starting to hit the ball a little bit,

157
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: I say, third fourth, fifth inning. For somehow, he walked

158
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: Kyle Muller after he was ahead of him. He just could.

159
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: He just like was absolutely like steadfast and on throwing

160
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: slythers and getting them over and he was so stubborn.

161
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: They weren't snapping the right way and he kept throwing

162
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: them and he walked him. It just doesn't matter. Whenever

163
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: he is focused and like he's concentrating and he's all

164
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: in like no one can touch him.

165
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think even Ronnie brought it up on the broadcast,

166
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: like he's such a different animal that that Kyle Muller

167
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: at bat was super weird. First off, random, Kyle Muller

168
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: is a house. That dude is a monster of a

169
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: human being. He made Pete Alonzo look like a child

170
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: when he stood next to him on first base. But

171
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: the other point that Ron made was that de Gram

172
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: kept going to that slider. He's like, it's almost as

173
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: if he knew that he couldn't get hurt, so he

174
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: was going to throw it and throw it and throw

175
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: it to get it right so that he could get

176
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: the next guy out.

177
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just had to make sure that the slytherer

178
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: was the way it should be for the future.

179
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's just that's like the kind of thousand

180
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: IQ galaxy brain that Jacob is. Like, he doesn't care

181
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: about necessarily pitching to the picture appropriately. It's like, it's fine,

182
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: I need to make sure I'm good for the next guy.

183
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to make sure this slider works around

184
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: the couna. I don't really care about Kyle Butler whether

185
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: he's on base or not, Like I have to get

186
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: around the Kunya out. It was also funny in this

187
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: game when he just he swung caught that liner off

188
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: of I don't even remember who hit it. There was

189
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: just like a hot shot right back through the box

190
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: and de Gram just super casually, no emotion, just stuck

191
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: his glove out and bang right then like nothing he

192
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: just circled, circled the mound. He came right back.

193
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. A lot of times when guys like catch those,

194
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: it's a big like, oh look what I found. Yeah,

195
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: but da Gram consciously made the effort of like, oh,

196
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: a line drive mine, like he went out and grabbed it.

197
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: He's the game is in slow motion for him. I

198
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: heard Mark Derozawell was watching MB Central talk about jord

199
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: On Alvarez at the plate and how the game looks

200
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: like it's in slow motion for him. When de Gram's

201
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: on the mound, it looks like everything around him is

202
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: moving in slow motion, like he's just in a different world.

203
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: Definitely. I would even say that the game moves in

204
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: slow motion for de Gram when he's at the plate

205
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: as well, because that that bad he had. I think

206
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: it was the second inning where it was second and third,

207
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: two outs, like you could see that he was like

208
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: grimacing the fact that he couldn't swing, like he knew

209
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: he wasn't supposed to swing the way he's used to swinging,

210
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: like he wasn't supposed to do like the full body swing,

211
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: and he was just trying to like swat at the ball,

212
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: and he actually made decent contact and hit a fly

213
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: ball to left field. But you could like see in

214
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: his eyes it was killing him he couldn't drive in

215
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: a couple of runs for the team.

216
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he knows that this Mets team has an

217
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: inability to score runs for him typically, And how many

218
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: games this year has he been the leading force behind

219
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: the offense when he's pitching. So he's got to be

220
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: aware that, like, hey, if I don't score, we might

221
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: not score.

222
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: You guys don't want me to swing. I'm really good hitting.

223
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you want me to swing.

224
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm the best hitter on this team. I have him

225
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: hitting five hundred.

226
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: At that time at that time, but it was still

227
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: not smooth sailing for the offense on Monday. We were

228
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: very lucky to get that VR run in the first inning.

229
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 2: He just really worked out some old school baseball shit

230
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: a walk, Lindor accidentally bunted them over, like not accidentally

231
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: bunting them on the doors, bunting for a hit. It

232
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 2: wounds up being a sacrifice if you had to super

233
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: heads up play to tag from second to third on

234
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: a fly ball to left field, which no one in

235
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: baseball has the balls to do that. But he saw

236
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: that Almante. I'll remember his first name is at Yance.

237
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Abraham Abraham Abraham Abraham.

238
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: Almonte kind of caught the ball awkwardly moving back towards

239
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: the line, so VR hustled back to the bag and

240
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: then he touched up, hustled the third made it in

241
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: a slide, and he scored in a while pitch like

242
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: that's manufacturing a run the definition of it.

243
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the Jonathan VR we like to see when

244
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: he's playing that heads up kind of baseball, like a

245
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: little scrappy almost just stuff that like a lot of

246
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: players don't typically do. It helps that Jonathan VR is

247
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: also a madman on the bass Pats because, like you said,

248
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: no one tags from left field, no to third base.

249
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: He's a little bit of a crazy person. If he

250
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: didn't do that, we wouldn't have scored, and during the

251
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: duration of this game, we would not have been ahead,

252
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: and things would have been different. Because the Braves did

253
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: get to de Gram like more so than most other people.

254
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: We say they got to Gram as in, they got

255
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: two men on base at the same time. No one scored,

256
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: of course, but there was that weird ball that dropped

257
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: in between Alma and Domly remember the bomb.

258
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Of the or there's someone it was Kevin Smith.

259
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: I think I think it was Kevin Smith because Heredia

260
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: was on bass and he was already hustling around third

261
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: and when I hopped over the fence from the warning track,

262
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: ridiculous angle in that bounce. What a miracle that was.

263
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: They kept the braves off the board and allowed us

264
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: to have a big rally in the fifth and more

265
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: or less put this game away.

266
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nice to see that McNeil came up

267
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: and immediately swung at the first pitch, because of course

268
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: that's Jeff McNeil. Do we expect anything less. The thing

269
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: that was super frustrating about that ending, though, was Lindor

270
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: the three to ozho swing ah in his wheelhouse and

271
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: he just popped up lazy to right field. Like I

272
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: respect the idea of being aggressive three to zero and

273
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: trying to jump on the pitch, but it was what

274
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: basses loaded right and three to oh.

275
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: There baces loaded?

276
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, basses loaded three to zero And like, was

277
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: it still Kyle Muller at the time who was pitching,

278
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't even remember, but whoever it was was not

279
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: around the strike zone.

280
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: That was Shane Green so they had brought Shane Green

281
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: in for Mueller after the fourth, So Shane Green started

282
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: the fifth, and Shane Green, one of the who I've

283
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: been saying for years is awful, continues to just be awful.

284
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was supposed to be the saving grace of

285
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: that terrible Atlanta Braves bullpen and shot. He he hasn't

286
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: saved it at all because that bullpen still sinks. But yeah,

287
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: Lindor bailed him out. Like he wasn't around the around

288
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: the strike zone at all. He's swing at three zero

289
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: pitch that was like technically a good pitch to swing at,

290
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: but I think he got to read the room a

291
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: little bit more there, and you just gotta take which

292
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: I am saying I know, but like you, if you're

293
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna swing three to zero in that situation with the

294
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: bases loaded, you have to get a hit. You have

295
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: to and I know you can't ever guarantee that when

296
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: you swing, but like it's it's just got to be better.

297
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: I'll play Devil's advocate just from the fact that Lindor

298
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: was still kind of off the shine from his big

299
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: game on Saturday, and he has been swinging a hot

300
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: bat relative to how he's been swinging the rest of

301
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 2: the season, So I kind of I don't want to

302
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: say respect it, but I understand that he wanted he

303
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: wanted to get a hit rather than a walk. And

304
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people this year have given Lindor flak

305
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: for seemingly looking to walk rather than hit. So I

306
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: like the aggressiveness. And he did get a pitch to hit.

307
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: He just simply missed it, and he knew he missed it.

308
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: Everyone knew he missed it. It was the same pitch

309
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: he hit out tonight, just to jump ahead today's game

310
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 2: for a second. It was that low end that the

311
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: left handed swing just pops that right out and he

312
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: just missed it. I don't hate that process, the fact

313
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: that he was aggressive and took that hack. It's fine.

314
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 2: And luckily he was bailed out by our boy Dom Smith.

315
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Who that was just such a bad at bat. And

316
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: boy did we swung at what like three balls basically

317
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: like he should have been walked and it was two

318
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: to two.

319
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: It was like a high fastball outside slide. And especially

320
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: like when shaw Newcomb comes in the game, like we

321
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: know who Shaw Newcomb is at this point, the guy

322
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 2: is allergic. He's allergic to strikes.

323
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: He's allergic to being anything but a bad pitcher. He's

324
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: just like I've I've completely like sold out on the

325
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: idea that this guy can be anything that's like worth

326
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: a damn. He's just bad and he doesn't throw strikes.

327
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: The Braid's bullpen all together is so ridiculously bad. The

328
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: Braids bullpen is like a bunch of guys who met

329
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 2: at like a Luke Colmbs concert and they're like, hey,

330
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: we can let's pitch Will Smith, A J. Minter, Chris Martin,

331
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: Shane Green, Luke Jackson. Are you guys kidding me? Did

332
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: you guys all go like we're in the same fraternity

333
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: at Kentucky? Like, how did you guys find each other?

334
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: Why are you all this team together?

335
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we know how much I love to give

336
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: the Braves bullpen shit. It's just like it's crazy that

337
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: this bullpen is so bad. And they fans thought it

338
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: was good at the beginning of the year and were

339
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: upset when I said it was gonna be a big problem.

340
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: What do you know? Their bullpen was a problem because

341
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: it blew this game for them. They weren't winning, but

342
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: it kept them out of it.

343
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: It's crazy that the Braves like last year, would have

344
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: gone to the World Series if they had even a

345
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: competent bullpen, and they managed to make it worse in

346
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: the offseason.

347
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they lost their three best arms from that not

348
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: very good bullpen in Milanson who is fake good, Darren

349
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: O'Day who's legit good. And then who was the third

350
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: guy was? I mean it was technically Shane Green.

351
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now they brought him back, but they screwed

352
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: him up because the guy basically lost the spring training.

353
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: You tried to bring him on in mid May, and

354
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: now he's pitched a few haphazard innings and he sucks.

355
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Like that's not easier Kimberl.

356
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: Look what happened to Craig Kimberl Exactly. Yeah, like that guy,

357
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: it took him two full years to get back to

358
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: being good. It's so important for these pitchers to get

359
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: ready the right way. You can't rush you back.

360
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also to backtrack that I wouldn't say those

361
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: are the three best guys in this ballpen. It was

362
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: definitely Milanson, Smith and Martin Still maybe Oday sneaking in

363
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: and Matt Sick has proven to be like okay, but

364
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: it's like malpractice what this front office did to this bullpen.

365
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: It's it's fucked up, to be honest.

366
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: No, it's not good, especially when they don't have the

367
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: starters either that can go deep into the game. Like, yes,

368
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: you got Charlie Morton, but Charlie Morton hasn't gone deep

369
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: into a game since twenty eighteen with the Houston Astros.

370
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: So that's not the same Charlie Morton. He's a completely

371
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: different pitcher. Now you get five out of him, you're

372
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: feeling good. Granted later in this series, as we do

373
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: a little foreshadowing, he went more than five and pitched

374
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: pretty well against the metso so well. I also think

375
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of help from the Mets offense

376
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: being abysmal, because pretty much after this inning there was

377
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: no offense for the rest of the series until Game four.

378
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: No, literally, the Mets scored four runs on Monday, and

379
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: then we did not score again until Wednesday. To that

380
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: yet Wednesday.

381
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and of course, just to wrap up Game one here,

382
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: Lugo not particularly great. I don't know if you saw

383
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: anything in particular of concern. I just think like that's

384
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: gonna be something that happens he's gonna get hit at

385
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: some point.

386
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: So I think that his usage has been kind of

387
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: strange as there hasn't really been doesn't see. I mean,

388
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: from the outside, doesn't seem like there's been much of

389
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: a plan or any type of consistency with the way

390
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: that he's been coming into games or being warmed up,

391
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: and I think that's worn on him if I'm being honest,

392
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: Like he just looked really out of sorts on Monday afternoon,

393
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: like something just looked wrong, similarly to the last time

394
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: he pitched, which I believe was Friday, where it just

395
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: looked like things were more difficult than they should have been.

396
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: So maybe they just have to get everyone's getting the

397
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: same page, Like this is gonna happen, as we've been

398
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: back two weeks now. Once he gets in a groove,

399
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: once a rhythm is established, I believe he will be better.

400
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: But all his pitches were fine. He still looked good

401
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: lastly was there. So I'm not concerned about Seth Lugo

402
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: at all. Just something to monitor how he's being used.

403
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a guy like to go back to the

404
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: old regime under the bbw DA's like it was very

405
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: well known when Seth Lugo is going to be pitching,

406
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: like I think it was like before he came to

407
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: the park, Like, Lugo, you're pitching today, and he knew

408
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: what days he had off. Maybe we need to go

409
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: back a little bit to that. I hope we don't

410
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: have to. I'd like to be able to use and

411
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: whenever we want.

412
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: I think I think it's kind of like like, let's

413
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: say you have your whole group of friends. Everyone's really tight,

414
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: everyone knows the role, and like let's say you guys

415
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: all play pick up sports together, you play basketball, football, baseball, whatever,

416
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: someone breaks, they're like they missed four months of playing

417
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: outside with their friends. They come back after those months,

418
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: their leg is healed. But everyone has slightly different roles now,

419
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: so you have to get yours back, see where you fit.

420
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of where Lugo is, Like we

421
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: don't exactly know where he fits in this new bullpen puzzle.

422
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: It's a great puzzle. It's a beautiful picture when it's

423
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: all working together, and we just have to make sure

424
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: he is the right piece.

425
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely, because Diaz has just been lights out still

426
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: and he was great again in Game one, closed the door,

427
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: no problems.

428
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, mm hmm. We kind of tore this game

429
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: to shreds for even the notes we had on it.

430
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: But there's not much to say about it. And think he's

431
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: just super reliable, consistent, and one of the best relief

432
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: pitches in baseball. Say they confidently. We say every episode

433
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: like there's no doubt with Edwin DS anymore.

434
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think part of the reason we tour

435
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: Game one to shreds two is we just have a little,

436
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, apprehension to talk about Game two and three

437
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: because it's pretty pretty dark stuff, pretty disgusting.

438
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

439
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: It started to get a little gloom and doom in

440
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: the Mets world. And I will say to myself, I

441
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: was feeling a little gloom and doom after watching Game

442
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: two and three. Game two not so much. But once

443
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: you saw the Game three performance, that's when you went,

444
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: oh God, But let's talk about Game two first. Jared

445
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: Yikoff made his New York Mets debut. He pitched. That's

446
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: something he pitched.

447
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 2: He definitely pitched.

448
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to see him pitch

449
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: much more.

450
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 2: But I have I have bad news for you.

451
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 1: He's going too Yeah, I mean like, I guess the

452
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: one positive is like, hey, he didn't do terribly.

453
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: No, I think that he was. He did as well

454
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: as we could possibly have hoped or expected given his

455
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: recent outcomes in the minor leagues and spring training and

456
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: just the last few years, he can pitch in the

457
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: majors like he got through innings. Nothing was pretty. This

458
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: was This was a big a game where you can

459
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: see the different generations of fans budding heads. Because after

460
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: he finished, I believe it was the second or third inning,

461
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: I was watching with my dad. I was like, take

462
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: him out. You cannot let him keep pitching this game.

463
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: The fact that he's gotten as far as a miracle.

464
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: I don't want anyone to see him again, Like take

465
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: him out. My Dad's like, ah, he's getting in the rhythm,

466
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: he's just settling in, Like let him work into it.

467
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: I was like, absolutely not. And Gary and Keith and

468
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: Ron I was actually Ron and Keith. I mixed up

469
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: Gary and Ron. They had this point today where in

470
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: old school baseball, managers and coaches were looking for any

471
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 2: reason they had to keep a pitcher in the game.

472
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: Modern baseball, we're looking for any reason to take someone

473
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: out of the game. And Jared leycough gave us a

474
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: billion reasons take him out of the game. Literally from

475
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: the first inning, every guy which is getting on base,

476
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: Like he only pitched four innings and he left six

477
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: guys on base. The maximum of players he could have

478
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: left on base was twelve.

479
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he left out fifty of the possible runners on base.

480
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 2: It's not even statistic. We can't even track that because

481
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 2: no one would even care. But for this outing in particular,

482
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: it was strange, like he had three strikeouts, three walks, like,

483
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: that's not gonna be sustainable. The one shining light was

484
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 2: that his slider, actually I thought looked pretty good. It's

485
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: a new pitch because he used to be a curveball guy,

486
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: right like if I remember correctly with the Phillies, So that, yeah,

487
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: it was nice. It was It wasn't even like slurvy

488
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: like it was actually like a hard like I was

489
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: not gonna say hardcau Jerio Coff doesn't there hard. But

490
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: it was a sharper sharper slider. Had seven whiffs on

491
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: fifteen swings, Like, that's that's tolerable with just with that

492
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: pitch and a fastball that you can command moderately, you

493
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 2: could be a three inning guy like Jared Dyacoff. Could

494
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: pitch three innings a week, that's fine, five sometimes when

495
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: he pitches on Monday maybe, which is.

496
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Like very much the role that we thought Lukes was

497
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna be in. Jordan Yamamoto, Sean reed fully like a

498
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: bunch of these guys. So it's not really a problem

499
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: to have him as a possible three inning guy. It's

500
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: just that now based on what we see with the rotation,

501
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: could possibly looked like his Lukez's on the sixty day

502
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: il we lost his Selman as well. To the sixty

503
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: day il I coffs been he gonna be getting a

504
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: few more innings than just three.

505
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need him. We need your out to just

506
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: to pitch just the eve innings. We need him to

507
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: put on his bib, take out the fork, and just

508
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: eat some goddamn innings. That's gonna happen. Also, because Elmen

509
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: just went out for the year, no one's even spoken

510
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: about it. Torn lat I believe, yeah, you'd like, that's

511
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: super serious injury for a pitcher that kept Sindergard almost

512
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: had a whole year a couple of years ago.

513
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: He's a dude who can't catch a break. It seems

514
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: like just when things always start to go right for him,

515
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: like one like freak injury out of nowhere and the

516
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: dude's done.

517
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. And also, as we're on this topic of

518
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: the Mets multi inning swing men, Sean Rifoley again did

519
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: not look right this game.

520
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: So what was his pitch breakdown? Because I don't remember.

521
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Monday feels like literally I was traveling all day. It

522
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: feels like, you know, centuries ago. Was his pitch breakdown?

523
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: Because I know in the previous two that we talked about,

524
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: they struggled. He was throwing a lot of fastballs, but

525
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: he also came in games that like we're a little different.

526
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: So what was he looking at?

527
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 2: Like he only pitched one inning, He only threw fifteen pitches,

528
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: So like I just say he looked shaky because he

529
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: wasn't really. I think just there were like two very

530
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: hard hit balls or maybe three I'm trying to remember now,

531
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 2: but he threw two thirds fastballs, one third slide. There's

532
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: literally ten to fifteen. No one swung a miss at

533
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: the slider, which that's a bad sign for him, and

534
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: like I don't know, he touched ninety five with it.

535
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: He just he cut the change up altogether. Something just

536
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: seemed off with him. It's maybe like just the tape

537
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 2: that went out. I'm thinking that the Mets probably made

538
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 2: an adjustment with him when he first came to the

539
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: team and they were catching teams off guard. Now it

540
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 2: seems like maybe the league is caught up and now

541
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: the Mets need to make an additional adjustment because his

542
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: mediocre stuff seems to just be getting hit.

543
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Braves have also seen That was the

544
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: second time the Braves saw him too, So you could

545
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: chop that up to a little bit of you know,

546
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: a second angle there on Sean Reed Foley, who, let's

547
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: be honest, his role again has always been this like

548
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: swing man, roll a little bit, eat some innings out

549
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: of the pen when we need it. He's not a

550
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: guy who has nasty stuff. We didn't trade Steven Mass

551
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: for him because we're like, Sean Reid Foley, this is

552
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy that we're gonna sculpt into the

553
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: next Jacob de Grom.

554
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: Again, like there's at least still the foundation there and

555
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: we just need Sean Reid Foley to give us innings.

556
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: I know he was optioned today, but it's just literally

557
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: because he has options, like he's gonna swap with Coreo's

558
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: Walt anytime in the next seventy two hours, Lord knows when,

559
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: and he's gonna pitch again immediately when he comes back up.

560
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: Because we need more guys like Sean reach Fall, you're

561
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: gonna be able to come in and have the capability

562
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: that give us multiple innings. So we're gonna get to

563
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: our new multi ending reliever, I guess in game three.

564
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: But before we wrap up Game two, I just want

565
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: to want to say I feel bad for Migaul Castro

566
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: that Acunya just did it to him. Just yeah, took

567
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: over the game. He did the same thing on Sunday

568
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: night in the second game with the double header against

569
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: the Cardinals where it was I think also zero zero

570
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: game and Acunya hit a home run. He just he

571
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: just bodied them. That's what Ronald Acunya does.

572
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: He's just good. He's just one of the best five

573
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: players in the league. Well, you know, one of them

574
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: is on our team, one of them is on the Braves.

575
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: It just so happens that Ronald Acuna gets to play

576
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: every day, so you really have to be careful with him.

577
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to beat him. Not many people do, so

578
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: I can't get upset with Capcher like you said, like

579
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Acunya just he just did it. It's gonna happen to him.

580
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: It's funny to look at a guy like Akunya stats

581
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: see like he has, like I think it's twenty home

582
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 2: runs now, that was the twentieth home run of the season,

583
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: and be like, when the fuck is someone on this

584
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: team going to reach twenty home runs like September.

585
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lindor hit the home run tonight and he has

586
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: nine and that leads the team.

587
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: The Mets stats are abysmal, like just as a unit,

588
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: it's crazy.

589
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything outside of pitching is pretty pretty atrocious. Speaking

590
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: of which, pitching, Trevor May. Yeah, so looking really.

591
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: Good, completely back, He's just fucking He's a fickle dude.

592
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: No one touched Trevor May's fastball on Monday. He threw

593
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: it seven times, two of them were balls. He had

594
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: four whiffs on four swings, and he got one called strike.

595
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: Like that's the Trevor May we need. The fastball was

596
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: jumping out of his hand, he was putting where he

597
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: wanted it to go. This is a high leverage reliever.

598
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: This is the guy we signed.

599
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: That was a guy we staw at the beginning of

600
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: the year two when he won our Mets Macho Man

601
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: of the Month or whatever it was like that was

602
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: that was the MA and it was and it's good

603
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: to see him getting back to that form.

604
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: That the award is the kiss of death. I'm scared

605
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: to give it out for you, terrified.

606
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna stop because you gave it to

607
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: Neo and you know it was also on the IL.

608
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: No, well you got I think was that Game two

609
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: or was that Game one? You got hit by the

610
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 2: pitch on the wrist? That was it?

611
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, retroactive or whatever, that was game That was game

612
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: one of the double double.

613
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: Heather. I remember like being terrified, being like, we don't

614
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: have a catcher, like a backup catcher for the same game.

615
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 2: Is double headed, Like if something happened to James McCann

616
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil first game off, the IL is gonna have

617
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: to put the pads on because he's the emergency catcher.

618
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: Yes, he has confirmed that on Twitter as well, that

619
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: he is the emergency catcher when I tweeted it out

620
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: this year. But really the whole story of Game two

621
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: was just the offense and we ran ourselves out of

622
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: multiple innings. Like Parazza killed us when he came in

623
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: for VR who got hurt, which that's also a little

624
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: bit of a story, but Paraza killed us on that

625
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: base running there, Pete going first to third on Ronald

626
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: of Kunya's arm, like ron and Garrett Keith didn't hate

627
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: it because they were like, it's aggresive base running. It's fine,

628
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: but also like you have to the Mets have to

629
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: be smarter, like Pete is going to listen to his coaches.

630
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: The coaching staff needs to know that ronaldy Kunu is

631
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: in right field. Pete runs like I don't know molasses.

632
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: He's not a very fast flight fleet of foot.

633
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 2: Dude, it's not molasses. Pete isn't slow. He just runs

634
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: like he's still like figuring out puberty. Like I am,

635
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: I am too big for my legs and something needs

636
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: to hold me up. I won't hold Pete super accountable

637
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 2: for that, just because, like it was a hit and run,

638
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: and when you have a hit and run, like in

639
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: your mind, baseball SATs automatic. I'm going for first to third.

640
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: Roley Kunya is just a freak. Of nature. And that

641
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: was also like like the perfectly hit single where he

642
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 2: basically caught it on three bounces and just came up firing,

643
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: and he was coming in like his momentum is the

644
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: right way, and he was still only thrown out by

645
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: about step and a half.

646
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: And to be fair, Austin Riley did make a good

647
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: tag two coming up to get the ball, which a

648
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: lot of people don't do.

649
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: Can I just say fuck Austin Riley for this game?

650
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: This entire game, he acted like Nolan Arnado.

651
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: He made so many sick plays, including the one in

652
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: the ninth with or the seventh I guess it technically

653
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: was where Polar roped it down the line and that

654
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: would have the Mets win the game. The Mets win

655
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: the game if the won the game.

656
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: And also I think there was one in the fourth

657
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: and the fifth. I don't remember who hit it. I

658
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: remember sharply hit ball. Maybe it was like the second

659
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: that Austin Riley moved to his left and made a

660
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 2: delightful play. Gary was like, oh, Austin Riley not known

661
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: for his defense?

662
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he is the worst defensive third basement in baseball.

663
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: I think alc Bowe might be the only worst one.

664
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: But he's like number two worst defensively among OAA third baseman,

665
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: which is like, my god, only against the Mets, man.

666
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 2: Literally only against the Mets. But we just couldn't get

667
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: a timely hit. Yeah, their heads up, our asses running

668
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: the bases. This was This was a low point, and

669
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: this low point definitely continued into the beginning of Game three.

670
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: The beginning of Game three probably like seven the game

671
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: star seven thirty five. So by eight o'clock PM on

672
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: Tuesday was the lowest I've been all season with the Mets.

673
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank god. I was busy watching high school kids

674
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: take BP because I was getting text from you and

675
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: my dad and it was not good. It was not good.

676
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: My dad was my dad was super negative. You were

677
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: just giving me information that was negative.

678
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: I was just I was texting you some dark shit

679
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: and the dark shit was just like Stroman's leaving the game,

680
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: what the fuck?

681
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: Which is always terrifying because he's been so good for us.

682
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: But we got good news today that the MRI came

683
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: back negative. They're putting him on the IL or are

684
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: they not.

685
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: I didn't I saw that they were not. He's simply

686
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: day to day I'm going to the double Heather on Friday,

687
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: so I was hoping he would pull like a similar

688
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 2: to what he did after the rain out against Miami

689
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: in April. He was like, just give me the ball,

690
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: give me the ball back. He's not doing it.

691
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: That'll be nice. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean you got

692
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: to treat him with some Kiddi gloves too here with the.

693
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: Hip thing and no, no, do to be careful. And

694
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: he did it looked like he did hyper extend it.

695
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: He was like doing that thing you do when your

696
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: hip hurts, where you like stretch your back, but like

697
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: clearly like you can't fix your hip that way. And

698
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: he tried to throw a pitch and I think he

699
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: was like I could figure it out. And McCann came

700
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: to the mound. He was like, you have to leave

701
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: the game, Like we really can't lose you for good.

702
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we need Stroman here.

703
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: There's no levity in this situation, like you can't you

704
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: cannot get hurt. It's not allowed, Like if you might

705
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: be hurt, you just have to walk off the field

706
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: right now and get yourself right because to lose Marcus Stroman,

707
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: my self proclaimed most important player in this team would

708
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: be such a catastrophic loss based on the innings he's

709
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: given us. He's the only Mets star who has not

710
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: been on the IL.

711
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: That's crazy, not to shocking shockingly. Oh my god, that's

712
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: so bad. I don't even want to think about it.

713
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Good news is he seems to be okay. Yenzi came

714
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: in and you've been a big Z guy. You liked him,

715
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: and I remember you texted me and again you and

716
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: my dad were in sync with each other. You texted me,

717
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: yen Z didn't warm up enough. My dad goes he's

718
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: ice cold.

719
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: He looked flustered this from the second he ran in,

720
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: but he hustled in. I saw he was like panting

721
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: and he had like wide eyes looking at mccannon Rojas.

722
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: I was like a fuck. And then he like the

723
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: commercial break was short. I was like, shit, Hey threw

724
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: the first pitch and ninety one. I was like, you

725
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: have to be kidding me.

726
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, ninety one is not what you want to

727
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: see from yenz. He's not a fireballer, but ninety one slow, No.

728
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: My guy sits like ninety four ninety six and he

729
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: immediately walked the first guy. I think it might have

730
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: been our or could have been on Monte, I don't

731
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: recall whatever, yeah, yeah, yeah, nonsense, Minutia and then someone

732
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: had an infield single walked the next guy and he

733
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: just looked like a deer in the headlights, and Lindor

734
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 2: walked over to him, put his arm around him, pat

735
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: him on chest a few times. I don't know, maybe

736
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: he had some spider attack on him or something. Who

737
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: knows what Lindor gave. The NZD has the confidence, the

738
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: lion's heart, the power of a thousand suns, but damn,

739
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: he just diced up the bottom of the braves order

740
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 2: and then spinning it around to Ronald Acuna struck out

741
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: the side to get out of a ridiculous basis loaded

742
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: nobody out.

743
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: Jam Yeah, Lindor, I think it's definitely like taking the

744
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: role of the leader with this team, which is kind

745
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: of interesting because he is coming into a team that

746
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: was like pretty well knit and like close. But it

747
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: seems like almost the injuries allowed for him to take

748
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: a leadership role quicker than we expected. De Gram's the

749
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: leader based on his performance in play, but I do

750
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: think like Lindor is like that the captain of this

751
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: team almost in that like he's always hyping guys up.

752
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: He's getting people, folks punching Jeff McNeil in the face

753
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: maybe whatever it is, but he gets these guys playing right.

754
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: And he did it with Enzi.

755
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: I think that this Mets team was devoid of a

756
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: leader before he got here. Like, while there were a

757
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: lot of guys who've been here for a while, none

758
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: of them really struck, ever struck me as leaders simply

759
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 2: just because everyone was a little bit younger, and even

760
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: the guys who had been here longer, like specifically thinking

761
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: about Confordough was not particularly outspoken, like Pete was the

762
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: vocal leader, but he's a bit of a dufus And

763
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gromd just doesn't play every day like a

764
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: starting pitchers just really can't be a leader of a

765
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: baseball team because they only played twenty percent of the

766
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: games if that. So it's kind of hard to anoint

767
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: someone like that as a leader. So you kind of

768
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: need the guy like Lindor who's been to multiple All

769
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: Star Games, who's played in a World Series, who is

770
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: the shortstop, who's at where is the defensive captain to

771
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: be the leader. And it worked out.

772
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: It did. Now unfortunately, gave up a three run bomb

773
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: later in the game, but did get out of it early.

774
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: The fact that he gave up that three run bomb

775
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: and it was the only offense for the entire game

776
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: game sucks because he pitched well. Besides that, he like

777
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: channeled his avatar state to get out of the second inning,

778
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: and Dazy Swanson got went out by the fucking grid

779
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: of his teeth like first like second row on those

780
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: new seats that we put in to move that leftfield

781
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: wall in, and he did get all of it, like

782
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: it was a nice shot. But it's like, the real

783
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: story wasn't that we gave it through a home run.

784
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: The real story is our offense gave us nothing. Only

785
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: hit we had in this game until two outs in

786
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: the ninth inning was Jared Iikoff an infield single.

787
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's embarrassing when Gerard Ikough, the pitcher Gerrod

788
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: is getting hits before our actual major league baseball hitters.

789
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: The most fucked up part of the bat that was

790
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: Ikof wasn't even the first Mets pitcher to pinch hit.

791
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: Like we were playing with such a short bench because

792
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 2: neither was still active and VR had the calf tightness

793
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: or whatever it was that Peterson actually pinch hit the

794
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: inning before I cough, Like are you kidding me? Like

795
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: is this a fucking joke right now? Like why don't

796
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: we have players on the bench. You send Neo to

797
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: the eye today, You couldn't have sent him the al yesterday. Like,

798
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: get guys on this team. We need bats, we need help.

799
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: The team hasn't been hitting. The team has scored like

800
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: what four runs in the past three games? Like why

801
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 2: are we trying to get cute? I couldn't understand that.

802
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: The worst part for me was Alonzo didn't start this game,

803
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: which I guess just day off whatever. I don't know why.

804
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense when your team is slumping and

805
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: you put your best power bat on the bench. It

806
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: seemed like the Mets were just continuously waiting for the

807
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: best moment to get him in that bat, and it

808
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: just never came, and we lost this game and Pete

809
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: never never stepped to the plate.

810
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: It feels like to me, when they give Pete the

811
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: day off, it's not necessarily because of a rest thing.

812
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: It seems like more of a mental thing, because Pete

813
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: has looked pretty horrible at the plate the last like

814
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: six to seven games. He's been pretty lost from what

815
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: it looks like. It seems like when they do these

816
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: rest days for Pete, it's a mental rest day and

817
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: they're really really trying not to get him in unless

818
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: they have to, which builds into what you were saying,

819
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: looking for the perfect scenario.

820
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: It was because like also just decide that I just

821
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: killed a miski though we were talking, I'm really jacked up.

822
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 2: He was flying around me this whole podcast. I'm really pumped.

823
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: But like we were down by three, and there was

824
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: a couple instances where there was a man on and

825
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 2: Pete was like warming up. He had a helmet, he

826
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 2: had a bat like, he looked like he was like

827
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: getting loose, and then we just never brought him to

828
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: the plate, and then he was in the on deck circle.

829
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: I believe it was the sixth to the seventh inning.

830
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: There was a man on and the eighth, whoever was

831
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: hitting eighth, was up and never happened, and Piazza led

832
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: off the next inning and have hit like a lazy

833
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: line drive to get out. But just this comes back

834
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 2: to the thing that has been nagging me with Rojas

835
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: most of the season, not that he's made bad decisions,

836
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: but he's tried to thread the kneed a little too often.

837
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: I think that comes from being a young, inexperienced manager,

838
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 2: where you look for things to be perfect. I fall

839
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: victims to this MLB the show, or at least I

840
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 2: had when I played the game where I wanted to

841
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 2: just work out perfectly. I want to go from my

842
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: starter to my eighth to my ninth guy, Like I

843
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: want this guy to finish the inning like I want.

844
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just have to, like let Pilanza get to

845
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: the plate, because if you're down three, it's a lot

846
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: easier to win a game than you're down one, you know,

847
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: or down at least give us the opportunity. Yet give

848
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: us the opportunity to score runs, like put p Linzo

849
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: with the plate, Like I know you want Pete to

850
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: have the shot it through r on home run, but

851
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 2: you talk about the mental rest day that makes us

852
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: resting way more difficult. When you're like, hey Pete, when

853
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: you guys get on, you're gonna save us. Like that's

854
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: not a rest day, that's the opposite.

855
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: No, that's true. That's a good point. Like if you

856
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: really did care about the rest day, you'd throw him

857
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: up there instantly so he could get back to not

858
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: worrying about it.

859
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, just let getting that bat. Let him take a

860
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: couple of hacks if he's gonna pinch it anyway. And

861
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 2: also there's no way that he was getting the full

862
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: day off when you already knew that neither of VR

863
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: were unavailable and on the bench.

864
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just it was a bad offensive game.

865
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: And this is when I, like I mentioned the gloom

866
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: and doom. It was getting really gloom and doom. People

867
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter were bad, which we've talked about before. But

868
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: it was like kind of the first time that I

869
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: felt myself also being a little bit like gloom and doom.

870
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: But I wasn't. I wasn't gloom and doom. I was

871
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: just like so done with the performance that I stopped caring.

872
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: You know, Oh, I'm the opposite. I was very much caring.

873
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 2: I've been like harp harping on the fact that we

874
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: have just been unlucky at the plate rather than bad,

875
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 2: Like the Mets are still near the top of the league,

876
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: and a lot of expected stats as a team, we're

877
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 2: not striking out the whole lot. We're putting a lot

878
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: of hard hit balls in play. Great defense being played

879
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: against us a regular basis, which I'll get to in

880
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: a moment, but this game was off. We only had

881
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: five hard hit balls the entire game. We made Charlie

882
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: Mooreton look like twenty seventeen Charlie Morton, Like this was

883
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: Houston Astros Charlie Morton. This was a vintage performance from

884
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 2: the old guy and had just it had Keith, Gary

885
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: and Ronn just buzzing about it because they love Charlie Morton.

886
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: We know Ronnie loves Charlie Mooreton. He thinks one of

887
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: the best five pitchers in baseball.

888
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that, which is just so insanely wrong. And you know,

889
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: Keith is just dying at any point to give like

890
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: an old guy who plays baseball like it was the eighties,

891
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: Like give him a shout out, because Keith is becoming

892
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: a little crotchety, which is sad to say, but.

893
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: Keith has been crotchety for years. I don't know where you've.

894
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Been, but I think his crotchety near this though, is

895
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: like really coming to an all time high. Like he

896
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: hates how baseball's played right now, and he's making it

897
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: very well known.

898
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: I think Keith, like probably many of us just kind

899
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: of lament the products. There's the fact that at some

900
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: point this product sucks, Like there's not a lot of

901
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: balls that are put in play. There isn't a lot

902
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: of great opportunities for strong defenders to make you go wow,

903
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: it just doesn't happen. Again. The Mets of this game

904
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: had two hits. One came with two outs and ninth inning.

905
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: The other one was Jerry Lekoff and a dribbler five

906
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: hard hit balls? Were you kidding me? And also one

907
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: of those came with two outs in the ninth inning?

908
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 2: Like it was ridiculous.

909
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's bad.

910
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: The silver lining I was able to pull from this

911
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: game was our boy, Drew Flow looked fucking nice.

912
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. You even mentioned to me that you think that

913
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: the metsic can possibly st stretch out Drew Flow to

914
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: be maybe a swingman, maybe even a starter.

915
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 2: Dude, I really truly, honestly think so. Like he broke

916
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: out of the change up on Tuesday night, where I

917
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: was like, where the fuck did that come from? And

918
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: it was nice. He threw it six times out of

919
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: his twenty nine pitches, it got two whiffs on two swings,

920
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 2: Like there was something tangible with that pitch. He was

921
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: still ripping his four steamer. He was guessing that thing

922
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: in ninety five. Baby color looked good pressing ninety a

923
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: couple times. I loved Drew Smith as the pre eminent

924
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: Drew Smith podcast in the world. Like this was a

925
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 2: big knight for us. He looked great. And also Aaron

926
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: Loop Wow put the team on his back. He's like,

927
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 2: you guys need the innings. I got you for innings,

928
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 2: Aaron Aw.

929
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Loup's been a really quiet, good reliever for us,

930
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: A very solid pickup by the boys in the front office.

931
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: Did you see I'm sure you didn't because you've been busy.

932
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 2: Did you see his press conference after the game?

933
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Loop talked after the game. I don't know what

934
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: this guy sounds like at all.

935
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 2: Aaron Loup walked on the Zoom press conference with a

936
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 2: with a bush light in front of him.

937
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: That's electric, crazy, that's electric. I have just gained so

938
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: much more respect for Aaron Lop for just openly drinking

939
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: after a game.

940
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: We threw forty pitches. It's like a lifetime for the guy.

941
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: That's like, so, what was it like twenty twelve Boston

942
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Like drinking some beers and stuff. That's that's crazy.

943
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah he was wearing camo hat too. It's just like, yeah,

944
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: Bush American beer Bush the game when Jared Lacoff has

945
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: your only hit until the twenty sixth out, Like this

946
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: is what you have to clink to Aaron Lup throwing

947
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: forty pitches and saving your bullpen for another day.

948
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: But luckily we can put this behind us and forget

949
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: the gloom and dune because, oh, the offense is so back, baby,

950
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: let's go.

951
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: We're one hundred percent back this. I know we've been

952
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: talking about the most recent game on this podcast for

953
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: the last few episodes. I think we're gonna keep doing

954
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: that in the future. But this series was so stark

955
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: and different in the first three games compared to tonight.

956
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: We wanted to lead into the happiness. We want to

957
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: reel you guys in with sorrow and sadness before we

958
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: dropped the hammer that our offense is so fucking back.

959
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: We're so goddamn back.

960
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: Having good Fodo back is so so huge. That just

961
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: lengthens that lineup so much. I'd love it.

962
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 2: He just fits so snugly right in the middle. When

963
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 2: he smacked that double one hundred and ten off the

964
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 2: bat in the first inning. I like got out of

965
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: my chair. I was like, we're back, We're completely back.

966
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: Like there he is. There's the guy. McNeil was even

967
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: smacking the ball around today. Really well. Should have had

968
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: a home run on that first.

969
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: Dude, that ball died.

970
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: I can't.

971
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 2: That ball had a seven to seventy expected batting average

972
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: and endurance RDE. The rat fuck made it look like

973
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: a can of corn. I was frustrated at that moment. Yeah, frustrated.

974
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: You know what, though, we got in CRDA back because

975
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: he tried to catch Rob luiski Orme's home run. But no,

976
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: you don't do that to our king, not Luise, not

977
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: half of the g unit right there with Luis gi

978
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: or May Grant did still stop the home run, but

979
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: it was a double, which we take.

980
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 2: He botched it, and I mean we could we can

981
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: do our NCRTA as long as well, but he did.

982
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: He did that the last laugh because he's just the

983
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 2: fucking worst.

984
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the home run, Like, this dude is

985
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: not a major League baseball player by any means anymore.

986
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: He hits the ball so soft it's shocking how soft

987
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: he hits the ball consistently, and he refuses to do

988
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: anything except when he plays the New York Mets, he

989
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: gets a sip from the Fountain of Youth and remembers, oh, yeah,

990
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 1: I was good at one point. It just like gives

991
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: the guy life. It's so frustrating. It's upsetting.

992
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, it's awful.

993
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: I hate it, like you'll never forget when he robbed

994
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: that Cesspa's home run and he kissed the ball after

995
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: rat fuck.

996
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 2: They showed they showed that clip. I think yesterday I

997
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: was like you, I was triggered, I was gaslighted.

998
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Send the TV just punched right through the screen.

999
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: Kidding me, how can you put this on right now,

1000
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 2: right now? Damn, especially as bad as the office was playing.

1001
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: And then right after the highlight, I think made a

1002
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: nice play, then he like bunted for a hit. I

1003
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 2: was like, are you fucking serious with this guy? Like,

1004
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: oh my god, he was. He hasn't even been playing

1005
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: most of this year and they just dust him off

1006
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: in the Mets games.

1007
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: I guess it's truly because Christian Pace is not capable

1008
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: of hitting at the major league level even slightly.

1009
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: No, which is a shame because I kind of like

1010
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: I didn't like him as like a prospect, but I

1011
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: figured he would. He just he plays such a fun

1012
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 2: brand of baseball between like the energy, the speed, the

1013
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: center field. Like I'd like to see that guy in

1014
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: the lineup. I just I will do anything to get

1015
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 2: end Er NCR Day unemployed, anything, anything possible, whatever, whatever

1016
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: to take food out of that guy's mouth. I'll do it.

1017
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: Calling him baseball player unemployed just it really sent me.

1018
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: I really like that. But anyway, this is the Ender

1019
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: in CR Day podcast. Let's talk about more positive from

1020
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: the Mets. Lindor, our boy, the three hundred million dollar man,

1021
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: huge home run. I gotta tell you something my dad

1022
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: the other day. Yeah, Dad, I hope you're listening to

1023
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: this because you need to be. It needs to be

1024
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: aired out there. I gave him so much crap because

1025
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 1: he was so negative on Lindor. He's like, oh, he's

1026
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: not gonna last in this city. He's gonna request a

1027
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: trade to the Dodgers. This guy thinks he's awful. And

1028
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: I go, when the Mets are lifting the World Series

1029
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: Trophy and Lindor wins the MVP, you're not allowed to

1030
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: enjoy it. So when he texted me that Lindor hit

1031
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: the home run tonight, I said, you better not be celebrating.

1032
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to. This guy stinks.

1033
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: It's pretty funny. Honestly, my dad is soured on Lindor

1034
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: a little bit, and not to the same degree. My uncle,

1035
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: who I spent father this day with, he was like,

1036
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 2: some guys just can't make it in the city. I've

1037
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: seen it a thousand times. I was like, what the

1038
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: fuck are you talking about.

1039
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: My dad dropped Jason Bay. I was like, it's not

1040
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: even close.

1041
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 2: That's fucked up. That's really fucked up. Mister Louiino. If

1042
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: you're listening to this, that's wrong. You can't say that.

1043
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 2: You never say that name.

1044
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, Lindor home run. And he got a couple

1045
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: of hits like another hit in the game too, like

1046
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: the swings.

1047
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: Geyeh hit the RB he hit the RBI late. That

1048
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: let us like kind of relax, be like, all right,

1049
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: we have this game under control. Nothing bad can happen. Now.

1050
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,479
Speaker 2: We also have the patented walk in the first inning

1051
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 2: before the confour though strung double. Just what he does.

1052
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: He just got a couple of hits, got on base,

1053
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: some good defense, like this guy's really good. We were

1054
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: just the whole team was lacing the ball all game.

1055
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 2: McNeil had put three balls in play over one hundred

1056
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: miles an hour. The team in general play I think

1057
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 2: eight balls and play over one hundred miles an hour.

1058
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: He Ormy had two. Crushy had two smacks. Also the

1059
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: beautiful drag bunt, the old lost art. He just got

1060
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 2: a hit so easily, not even that fast. He really

1061
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 2: isn't that fast. Pete put a couple of nice balls

1062
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 2: and play down for a couple of nice balls and

1063
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 2: play and four though both of his hits were laced

1064
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: like McCann, Yeah, McCann, I told the guy by mcamcann

1065
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 2: the RBI late as well. He had the double in

1066
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: the mid innings. We were just moving. This was the

1067
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 2: first time in a month where I looked at the

1068
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: Mets lineup before the game. I didn't like laugh or

1069
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: like pinch myself, because like I have to try and

1070
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: see if this is real. But this was real.

1071
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Wright's not a good pitcher, and the Mets made

1072
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: him look like not a good pitcher. When we love

1073
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: to make guys look better than they are, we've seen

1074
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: it this week. Luckily, the Bats woke up and we

1075
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: made Kyle Wright look like the pitcher he truly is.

1076
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: I'll never quit on Kyle Right, just the fact that

1077
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 2: he went to Vanderbilt and he was a high draft

1078
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: pick and he throws hard with multiple off spat pitches.

1079
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 2: The second he gets off of this Braves team, which

1080
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 2: seems like they're just bad at developing pitchers.

1081
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just have no ability to develop any sort Yeah,

1082
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: based on their.

1083
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: Lack of depth. Y once he finds his way to

1084
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 2: like the Astros, the Dodgers, the Padres, or the Mets

1085
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: as a free agent, I'm so win on Kyle right.

1086
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: Kyle Ret's can have a great second prime. You can

1087
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: put the James Ciano pitching stamp on that right now.

1088
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 2: Kyle Wright is gonna have a great second prime. But dude,

1089
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 2: our offense like talking about it early in this episode.

1090
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: I've talked about it for a couple of shows in

1091
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: Row Now, we just continued to hit the ball really

1092
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: hard and not get lucky. Like Derek Carley. If and

1093
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: no one follows him on Twitter is aware of him,

1094
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: you should check him out. He is the creator of

1095
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: the bat x projection system. It has been proven over

1096
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: the last two seasons to be the most accurate projection

1097
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 2: system public projection system that we have available to us

1098
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: as fans. You can find it on fangrafts. If you

1099
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 2: want to win your fantasy baseball league, just go to

1100
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: the bad X, go to the hitters, click wOBA and

1101
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: get the guys who are the top of it. Run

1102
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 2: your league out of the water. But he ranks the

1103
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: Mets based on his system, as the eighth best offense

1104
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: in baseball. That's based on the results we've had, not

1105
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 2: the results we expect. This team has still been hitting

1106
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: the ball, we just haven't been finding it. Like these

1107
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: are going to drop. The water's gonna find its level.

1108
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: We're going to even out. Like based on his his metric,

1109
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 2: we're the fifth least lucky team in baseball. Which that's

1110
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 2: that's a little bit of that mumbo jumpo I understand.

1111
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: But watching these games night in night out, like I

1112
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 2: feel that like balls continue to find gloves. Austin Riley

1113
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: made three diving plays at one game the other day.

1114
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: The guy's made a diving place since he was junior high.

1115
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 2: Like there's a joke.

1116
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are gonna start to click we're gonna start

1117
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: to click. We're getting more legitimate bats back, which lengthens

1118
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: that lineup, puts more pressures on these pitchers. They have

1119
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: to make pitches. You essentially every night with the Mets

1120
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: lineup recently, got a few free outs, whether it was

1121
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: from Nido recently, which pains me to say, Nido, the pitcher,

1122
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: Mason Williams, Albert al Mora, whatever it's gonna be. There

1123
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: was a spot at some point where you knew you

1124
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: could just get out of a gym if you were

1125
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: in it. The Mets getting their guys back, that makes

1126
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: it a lot harder.

1127
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: Now you remember janeshwief Fargas, Remember that week.

1128
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: Jenesh Vifargas, Cameron Maybon starting at the same time Cameron

1129
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: Meygan been playing a week and not having a hit.

1130
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 2: Cash money made than Khalil Lee Yoh, I forgot about

1131
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: Khalil Lee. These guys were part of our team for

1132
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: an extended period of.

1133
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: Time, and we will Fredo Tovar, Jake Hager.

1134
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: Fredo Tovar, Jake Jay Geger, will Fredo Tovar, you can

1135
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: say what you want about them. Damn those guys. Crosh

1136
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 2: Triple I pitching, I was looking at some Triple A

1137
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 2: stats for a prospect report. They're gonna get to it

1138
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 2: in a little bit, but god damn, were those guys

1139
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 2: all over the all over the field at Syracuse.

1140
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think this transitions nicely into it.

1141
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the guy who came up from Triple

1142
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: A and made the start in his major league debut.

1143
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: You've been hyping him up. Oh yeah, we now know

1144
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: it's ty Lore McGill.

1145
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: Tyler Tyler McGill. Tyler McGill really impressed me today. He

1146
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: got into trouble in the fifth, which was his third

1147
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: time around the other, but I don't even care. He

1148
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 2: looked pretty goddamn good he did. He looked just really good.

1149
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: The NCRTA home run was basically the only blemish on

1150
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: his entire ledger. He was imposing, he seemed in can.

1151
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: He had a very good demeanor. He was throwing hard

1152
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: with command, like he was touching ninety seven, which is

1153
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 2: barely even a part of the scathing report. And that

1154
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: fastball was jumping out of his hand, jumping.

1155
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you love to hear that. I really do

1156
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: love a pitcher that's got a good fastball. And it

1157
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: seems like McGill does, because we've seen what Jeremy Hefner

1158
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: can do. He'll sprinkle that magic on you and he'll

1159
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 1: make those other pitches good. All of a sudden, while

1160
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: that fastball was good, he was like definitely relying on it.

1161
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: So this is something that the league will catch up too.

1162
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: After a start or two.

1163
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 2: It was. It counted for sixty percent of all the

1164
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: pitches he threw and only had one whiff on twenty

1165
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 2: one swings, which is way worse than I expected, especially

1166
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 2: watching it felt like there were a couple more. But

1167
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 2: the pitch did have thirteen calls strikes. He was putting

1168
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 2: it where he needed to, he was varying the counts

1169
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 2: he was using it in, and most importantly, he used

1170
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 2: it to set up all of his off speed secondary

1171
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 2: stuff very well. He used that changeup that we spoke

1172
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: about a couple weeks ago, the first time we even

1173
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 2: mentioned McGill a lot, like, way more than I expected.

1174
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 2: Like it was the second most thrown pitch tied with

1175
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 2: his color, which based on every scathing report, every Twitter thread,

1176
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 2: everything I've heard, Reade listened to talked about it about

1177
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 2: McGill like that was a pitch that is like his

1178
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 2: difference maker. That was the one that's been developmental. That's

1179
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 2: the one that's gonna be the difference between him being

1180
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 2: like a bullpen guy or a starter, or probably a

1181
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 2: difference just between a major leaguer and triple and a

1182
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 2: quadruple A guy. And it worked like he threw it confidently,

1183
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: like he mixed it in a couple two strike counts.

1184
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: I saw him using a couple of three ball counts like.

1185
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 2: It impressed me. And also the fact that he had

1186
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 2: the balls to use it.

1187
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he really pitched a very good game. You

1188
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: had two polar opposites there. He had Kyle Wright, who

1189
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: is the highly touted guy, has all this stuff in

1190
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: the world, but he's a thrower right now. He doesn't

1191
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: really understand how to pitch. Tyler McGill. Granted, I'm not

1192
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: gonna make some crazy outlandish callouts yet.

1193
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: But he pitched.

1194
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: He pitched, he pitched, He used the stuff that he had,

1195
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: and he used it to his advantage, where Kyle Wright

1196
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: on the other side, just throws one hundred and twenty

1197
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: percent every single time and it doesn't work.

1198
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I do have a really creepy McGill stat

1199
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 2: Gary actually mentioned on the broadcast for anyone who was watching,

1200
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't think you were, so I'm gonna share it

1201
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 2: right now. Tyler McGill debuted at the exact same age

1202
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 2: as Jacob de Gram to the day.

1203
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's weird.

1204
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: It's like some Kismet scary, like freaky astrology shit. Twenty

1205
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 2: five years, ten months, twenty seven days, Jacob de Gram

1206
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 2: and Tyler McGill threw their first pitch for the New

1207
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: York Mets.

1208
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: And you know what's really interesting about Jacob de Gram's

1209
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: debut too, came like out of nowhere, really just needed

1210
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: him from an emergency, and he had a nice little

1211
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: first start.

1212
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, against the Yankees. And I have a funny personal

1213
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: story about that. I was looking to go to a

1214
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: Subway Series game that year with my dad. I think

1215
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 2: I was still in high school, you know, I want

1216
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 2: to go to game, hang out with dad. Yaha yahda.

1217
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: And on back to back days, Jacob de Gram was

1218
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: debuting and the day before, Rafael Montero was debuting, and

1219
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 2: Rafael Montero was the big prospect at the time. The

1220
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 2: Gram was a No namer, Montero had the height, Montero

1221
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 2: had the fame, Montero had to shine. He was like,

1222
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: let's go to one of these games, which when you

1223
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: want to go to and I was like, let's go

1224
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: to Montero. He's the more highly talent prospect. Montero lost

1225
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 2: to Masahiro Tanako through I believe a complete game shutout

1226
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: against the Mets made this look foolish and to Grom, like,

1227
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: you guys know happened, Jacob de Gram after that never

1228
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 2: went back down.

1229
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rest is history.

1230
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

1231
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: One is arguably one of the best pitchers of all

1232
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: time and the other is rafae Al Montero.

1233
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 2: So he's a member. He's a member of Mets West.

1234
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: Yes, the Seattle Mariners. You can connect the dots on

1235
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: that one. And there's no real hide in that answer.

1236
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: There.

1237
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: The weird thing in this game, though, was Corey O's Walt.

1238
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: Now Coriol's Wall's gonna have to pitch. He got called up.

1239
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest corey Oswalt fans. You've been a

1240
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: little higher on him than I have. You're not a

1241
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: huge Corio's Walt guy. I'm not gonna slander your opinions here.

1242
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 2: I prefer that you didn't attach my name to corios Wald,

1243
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: thank you very much.

1244
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: But in you know, last year we were living together,

1245
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: like we saw him and You're like, I think he

1246
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: could be okay, and I was like, no, he was okay.

1247
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 2: Today he was fine. He was fine. I feel like

1248
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 2: they used him because they just literally had to, Like

1249
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 2: the rest of the bullpen was kind of shot, and

1250
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 2: they use Castro to get out of the fifth inning jam,

1251
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 2: like they use him as a stopper, which I thought

1252
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 2: was nice, Like that was the proper use of gal

1253
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: Castro in that situation. And they told Coreo's waal just

1254
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: like as many acts as you can figure that out,

1255
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: he'll be optioned probably tomorrow, even if he has options left.

1256
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 2: I'll know they might just be okay. DF and Corio's

1257
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: weal at this point now that we signed a Nick

1258
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 2: Tropiano and and uh goggle legend Vance Warley.

1259
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,479
Speaker 1: It's crazy, but he is out there. Yeah, I can't be.

1260
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: Picked him up. He was pitching in like the Independent

1261
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: League or something, but I don't know it was walt

1262
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 2: Like he got outs, Like at some point this Mets team,

1263
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 2: we just need to find a couple of outs, like

1264
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 2: the fastball touched ninety four, Like that's Okay, I remember

1265
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 2: a couple of spring trains ago, which is the whole

1266
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: reason I ever said I liked him, was that he

1267
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: touched like ninety seven. I was like, if you touch

1268
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 2: ninety seven, he could do something. If that's inside of

1269
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 2: Coreo's wall, I would appreciate if it came out at

1270
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 2: some point like that would make him a better picture.

1271
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: But that's all I got about Corio's wall.

1272
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: To all the negatives that were saying about him, I

1273
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: think it's we gotta give us some props. Though. He

1274
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: did give us two and a third innings, and he

1275
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: kept the game where it was. Really, he didn't cost us,

1276
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: he didn't make it more uncomfortable. Really by any means.

1277
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 2: We owe Brian Snicker a death of gratitude for that,

1278
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: because when he was on the ropes and a time

1279
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 2: run came to the plate with a pinch hitter, he

1280
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 2: opted to use Drew Smiley Woo, the feared bat that

1281
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: we all know and love. Drew Smiley, the power hit there,

1282
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 2: the cleanup hitler. Usually when he pitches right, doesn't it doesn't.

1283
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: Trew Smiley hit fourth for the Braids.

1284
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, shoho, tany Drew Smiley.

1285
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: He really bailed us out and it was kind of

1286
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: chilling after that until we got to the eighth and

1287
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: then Edward Diez was cleaned it up like he.

1288
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: Does because he's just so good in save situations. I know,

1289
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: I don't think it was. It wasn't technically a safe

1290
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: situation yet because he got i think his sixteenth save

1291
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: of the year. He's just money. He doesn't mess up.

1292
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's because when we came in it

1293
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 2: was a three run game and we scored the seventh

1294
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 2: run the top of the ninth.

1295
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: Yes, you're right, you're right, So yeah, save situation. I mean, Edwin,

1296
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: we don't need to talk about him too much. You

1297
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: guys know the drill by Now. He's just good.

1298
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 2: That's it, super good. He's great. He's one of the

1299
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: best closes in baseball. And this kind of put a

1300
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 2: nice tight bow on what could have been a disastrous

1301
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 2: series like splitting and having a convincing last game win

1302
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 2: as opposed to losing three games in a row to

1303
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 2: the Braves after losing three out of four to the Nationals,

1304
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 2: would have had this in a bit of a tail spin.

1305
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: But I feel good right now. I'm positive, I'm up.

1306
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 2: It's mystic I feel pretty happy about where this team's at.

1307
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: Dude, it's crazy looking at the National League's standings right now,

1308
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: because the Mets are still in first and then you've

1309
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: got the Nationals in second place, who was a team

1310
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: that you thought was you know, getting taken behind the

1311
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: barn and put out out of their misery. They're now

1312
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: in second place, four games back. The Braves are in third,

1313
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: and those Phillies are in fourth place, where they belong

1314
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: because they're a fourth place team. As I always say,

1315
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: this NL least is far from over. But the Nationals

1316
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: are playing good baseball and they're doing weird stuff. I

1317
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: don't know.

1318
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: The Nationals and the Phillies played I think was probably

1319
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: the game of the year today. I think it ended

1320
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: up thirteen.

1321
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: Twelve after the Max scherz Er incidents last night, like

1322
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: they've had a wild series.

1323
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 2: Dad, I know where a Mets podcast, but I did

1324
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 2: want to tos like talk for a minute about like

1325
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 2: the hoopla that's been ensuing this week with the sticky

1326
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: stuff enforcement, just because I think it's fucking ridiculous that

1327
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball like seemingly has made a mockery of

1328
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 2: their own product as they've done time and time again

1329
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 2: for my lifetime, at least where I feel like they're

1330
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 2: purposefully embassy the people they employ. It's really ridiculous.

1331
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: It seems like Rob Manford doesn't like baseball. Whenever you

1332
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: see these things, you go you you don't like it right,

1333
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: Like you're just you're seeing what you could try to like,

1334
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: see how long we'll stick around. Because yes, like the

1335
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: sticky stuff. I think it did need to be addressed.

1336
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: I think it should have gotten fixed. But this is

1337
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: before the season or after the season. If you're gonna

1338
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: do it during the season, it's got to be handled

1339
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: better than what's happening. Because we got pictures getting butt

1340
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: ass naked on the mound because you're like, you.

1341
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: Want to pants.

1342
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: It's getting laugh out loud funny because it's it's embarrassing you.

1343
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: You laugh because you're uncomfortable, because you go, this is

1344
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: such a fucking joke.

1345
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 2: You just said it should be the beginning of the season,

1346
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 2: ort the end of the season. You'll want to do

1347
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 2: this in the middle of the season. I don't support

1348
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 2: the use of like spidertack. I think pittures probably need

1349
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 2: a little bit of YadA YadA on their hands. Just

1350
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 2: to make the game flow better, Like, I don't know,

1351
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 2: batters use pine tar and these grips to keep the

1352
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: bats tight. Whatever. But even if you're gonn do a

1353
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 2: mid season, he couldn't have waited three weeks until we

1354
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,359
Speaker 2: reached the All Star break and we had five weeks off,

1355
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 2: and guys could have actually had a plan of action here,

1356
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 2: and you could have had like a legitimate conference with

1357
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 2: the umpires and everyone could have been on the same

1358
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 2: page and not been a part of this fucking clown

1359
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 2: circus that we've been doing the last couple of days.

1360
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 2: Joe Jurdy tried to fight Max Cherzer last night. I

1361
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: know that in John Boys Breakdown it was Joe Gurardi

1362
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 2: was trying to fight Kevin Long, but it was because

1363
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 2: he was antagonized by Max Scherzer. A manager was antagonized

1364
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 2: by a player on the other team. Like, how the

1365
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 2: fuck can you let this happen as a commissioner of

1366
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 2: the league.

1367
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: No, it's an absolute joke. It's a shit show. And

1368
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: even to talk about Game four, McGill comes off the

1369
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: mound standing ovation. Everybody's pumped.

1370
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 2: Pause.

1371
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: You gotta check him for sakey stuff, Like what a

1372
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: friggin joke.

1373
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 2: Man.

1374
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy how you can have so you can

1375
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: be so distant from the game that you literally run.

1376
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 2: And the most ironic part about this shit is that

1377
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: we've been so obsessed with pace of play for the

1378
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 2: last couple of years, and every game this week has

1379
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 2: been slower because every half ending they're checking both pitchers

1380
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: for fucking sticky shit.

1381
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: Dude's just like, so he's so disconnected. He so doesn't

1382
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: have a clue that people running major League Baseball, like

1383
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: from the game operation side, really just don't get it.

1384
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: They have no clue.

1385
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 2: It sucks because they're just continuing to mangle a product

1386
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 2: that we all love and that like we all have

1387
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 2: like this affinity for like it's like Moneyball says, like

1388
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 2: it's hard not to be romantic about baseball, but they're

1389
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 2: just fucking making it hard. Every single year, new shit

1390
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 2: gets invoked them, Like why what is this game? What's happening?

1391
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: One of my friends who loves baseball to death, mister

1392
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 2: Ryan Kelly, he has told me he only watches the

1393
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 2: minor leagues. Now, I'm like, that is just it's just

1394
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: as a signal for depression. But like I get I

1395
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 2: get what you're saying, like this, the game has been mangled.

1396
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's really interesting. I saw this tweet about

1397
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: it that let it be known Rob Manford has gone

1398
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 1: after pitchers harder than he went after the Houston Astros.

1399
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 2: I think, well that was ro Don said that explicitly

1400
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 2: in an interview last week.

1401
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like, no one's been caught yet cheating,

1402
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: and if you do, you get to spend it ten games.

1403
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: Players on the Houston Astro those used cameras explicitly to

1404
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,919
Speaker 1: steal signs to help win a World series, not even

1405
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 1: a slap on the wrist. First round picks from the

1406
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: MLB draft.

1407
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 2: Which has a significant penalty, but no one with no

1408
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 2: players were penalized.

1409
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: No, it was just it was a joke.

1410
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 2: But anyway, back to the Mets, I guess I just

1411
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 2: wanted I want to get it off my chest. That

1412
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 2: was such a thing that happened yesterday. I was like

1413
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 2: just watching it unfold. It was shocking.

1414
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: It needed to be talked about. And I guess since

1415
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: we're going up against the Phillies too, do you want

1416
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: to do the preview of the Philly series before we

1417
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: do our prospect report?

1418
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 2: Here?

1419
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: To close out probably easily the longest episode of our

1420
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: podcast ever.

1421
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, I don't know how it's gone so long,

1422
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 2: but for sure.

1423
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. So let's talk about the Philly series. We actually

1424
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: have our one day off until the All Star break,

1425
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: which comes on Thursday, so we got a nice rest day.

1426
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: That's gonna be huge because the Mets need the rest

1427
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: because we've got another doubleheader on Friday going up against

1428
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: the Phillies. Shockingly, no starters have been announced for any

1429
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: game in this series, for the New York Mets and

1430
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: for the Phillies.

1431
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 2: I have I have all four starts being announced in

1432
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 2: front of me right now.

1433
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: See on Mets dot Com. I don't see a single one.

1434
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 2: ESPN has them all, and they announced him during the

1435
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 2: game today. They said at least the first three. ESPN

1436
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 2: has plugged in Stroman to pitch on Sunday, which it

1437
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 2: seems like him not being on the IL means we're

1438
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: trending that way, but we're staying on schedule for the

1439
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 2: first three games. Taiwan and Peterson are gonna pitch during

1440
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 2: the double Heather. I'm sure we're gonna maneuver. So Taiwan

1441
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: opposes Aaron Nola, Aaron Nola, who we've gotten to on

1442
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 2: multiple occasions this year, and then to gram Eflin on Saturday.

1443
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: This is a very winnable series. The Phillies have been

1444
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: playing terrible baseball. They're just not a very good team.

1445
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: All their shortcomings are coming forward right now. Oh crazy

1446
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: Hector Nourice stinks. Who could have told you that was coming?

1447
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: Who could have told you? This bullpen is terrible? And

1448
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: that outside of Zach Wheeler and Eron Nola they have

1449
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: no starting pitching. All their weaknesses are being exposed right now.

1450
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: I just hope that the Mets take this game four

1451
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: against the Braves that strong offensive production and push into

1452
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the series, because we really do have

1453
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: a chance to bury the Phillies, and I want to

1454
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: bury them.

1455
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: I would love to bury them. Three or four against

1456
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 2: the Phillies this weekend would really crush them. Especially beating

1457
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 2: Nola on Friday. That would really put this team down bad.

1458
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 2: I hope we do. Like I said before, I'm gonna

1459
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 2: be there. I'm very excited for a single mission double

1460
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 2: Heather on Friday. I'm gonna do the James Special. I'm

1461
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: gonna bring in like two sandwiches thing of cracker jacks,

1462
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: a banana, two bottles of water, and I'm gonna sit

1463
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 2: at City Field for five hours and enjoy every moment

1464
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 2: of it.

1465
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: Three of three out of the four games here puts

1466
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: the Phillies back seven. If we split, they stay at five. Like,

1467
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 1: that's so crazy, how one more win in a series

1468
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: can make such a big difference. But that's why it's important.

1469
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: You gotta win this one against the Phillies.

1470
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 2: I never want to be ahead of the Phillies by seven

1471
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 2: games again, never. I never want to do that.

1472
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so you want to go to and do this weekend,

1473
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: I'll just.

1474
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 2: Take all four, make it eight or nine, whatever will be.

1475
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: I'd be good with that as well. I'm very interested

1476
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: in the four game sweep, but we're probably getting a

1477
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: little ahead of ourselves here. Let's take one game at

1478
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: a time. Let's win the double header on Friday, and

1479
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: we'll see how the rest of the series goes. The

1480
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: Mets should beat this team. Now that we're healthy and

1481
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: if the offense is really what we saw today, we

1482
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: should have no reason, no not to beat this team.

1483
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Like maybe the Wheeler game, that's the one I'll give.

1484
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Apparently we're gonna have Stroman that game, so I trust

1485
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Stroman to at least go toe to toe with Wheeler

1486
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 2: for the time being. And I think our offense is

1487
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 2: better than the Phillies. So the fact that we have Stroman,

1488
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 2: to Grim and Walker all going in these four games,

1489
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 2: and Peterson, who has been pitching well like, I'm confident

1490
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 2: that will at least have an opportunity to win every game.

1491
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 2: The ball is gonna bounce, you know, something that's not

1492
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 2: gonna get a call. Some weird baseball shit's gonna happen.

1493
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 2: But I'm confident in the fact that we're gonna be

1494
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 2: in every game here, which is more than I've been

1495
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 2: able to say for a couple of these Mets games

1496
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks.

1497
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Yep, I think as bad as it felt early this week,

1498
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: we're back riding high, which if that's not a New

1499
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: York Mets fan, I don't know what is. We love

1500
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: to just really buy into this team when they're playing well.

1501
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: But they're also good this year, so I'm cool with it.

1502
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, we are good. The Mets are good. Everyone

1503
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 2: has to understand to get used to it is fucking happening.

1504
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 2: We're going for it. We're fucking going for it. Stevie

1505
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: is gonna make a trade sometime soon, and that's gonna

1506
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: pull us into our little prospect report here because some

1507
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 2: of these guys that we've been getting to know pretty

1508
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 2: well on this show other shows, Twitter, YadA, YadA, couple

1509
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 2: of guys arena to say bye too. I'm pretty confident

1510
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 2: that over the next month.

1511
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're gonna see one of the Big

1512
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: three moved.

1513
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 2: I think I think so too.

1514
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see one. I think it's not

1515
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna be Alvarez, so I should really say it's either

1516
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,959
Speaker 1: gonna be Baty and Mauricio. One of them is gonna

1517
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: be moved, and if I had to guess, it's gonna

1518
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: be Mauricio, which pains me because I've really start to

1519
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: like Mauricio.

1520
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 2: But on Tuesday night, when the Mets game, I actually

1521
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 2: think it was Milly afternoon, there was some trade chatter

1522
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 2: going around, especially like we were talking about it a

1523
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 2: lot on Sunday. Came out Monday whatever. I put the

1524
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 2: poll up on Mets up, Are you guys okay with

1525
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 2: trading either Mauricio or Baby. I also left at Alvarez

1526
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 2: because I love Francisco, I love untouchedle I don't want

1527
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 2: to trade him. Yeah, I think he is officially untouchable

1528
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 2: based on how he's performed at the next level. We'll

1529
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 2: get to it. In a moment, I said, would you

1530
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 2: move running Mauricio or Brett Baby if a meant getting

1531
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 2: a legit starting picture, and I listed Jose Berrios Max Shire.

1532
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: Is there a job means? And the vote ended up

1533
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 2: fifty one point eight to forty eight point two, with

1534
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 2: more than twenty five hundred volks counted.

1535
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,959
Speaker 1: What was it in favor of yes, they would trade?

1536
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 2: In favor of yes, yes they would trade one of

1537
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 2: those one of those two guys to get one of

1538
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 2: those three pitchers. Yes, so Mi, if you look, I

1539
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: was gonna say, if you look through the comments, most

1540
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 2: people said yes to Mauricio and know to Baby, like

1541
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 2: just based on like the words being said. People were like,

1542
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 2: I would definitely if I had to, I would trade

1543
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Mauricio for make getting one of those guys Baby. I

1544
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: would value him a little bit less than Baby.

1545
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Internally, I think a lot of people know that Lindor's

1546
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Mauricio is probably not gonna be the

1547
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: shortstop you know, anytime soon, he's gonna have to find

1548
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: a new position, that be third base or a corner

1549
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: olefield spot or second base, whatever it's gonna be. So

1550
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: I think people see him as a little more expendable

1551
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: and they would rather not have to teach a guy

1552
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: a new position. But that being said, he's done some

1553
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: stuff this year that like really opens your eyes and goes,

1554
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: there's that guy that they've been hyping up forever. That's

1555
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the dude we've been waiting for. So I don't know.

1556
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: My take has always been, if you're a team that

1557
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: can legitimately grab a good player, a guy who's going

1558
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: to help you win a World Series, you trade prospects.

1559
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I've always been like, that's always been my stance. You

1560
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: trade guys who aren't guaranteed to get that guaranteed guy.

1561
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,479
Speaker 1: So let's just say the scenarios. Max Schurzer, Yeah, no doubt,

1562
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,919
Speaker 1: you trade one of those guys. The scenarios. John Means,

1563
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: Jose Burrios, I think you got to pull the trigger.

1564
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: The Mets are so close, this is a World Series

1565
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: competing team that one of those guys could be the

1566
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: difference maker. And unfortunately for this team, Honestly, in the

1567
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: next two or three years, even Mauricio or Baby is

1568
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: not gonna really be the difference.

1569
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,479
Speaker 2: No, I think that we're probably looking at twenty twenty

1570
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 2: three for either of those guys to make their debut. Truthfully,

1571
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 2: I think Alfred is probably a little bit quicker because

1572
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 2: he's just proven to be so advanced, not even that

1573
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 2: he has better stats in bathing. Mauricio at Haya, even

1574
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 2: though he's slight, he kind of does. He just he's

1575
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: just he's just different, like he's built different to say,

1576
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 2: like some corny cliche and shit, but that he said,

1577
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 2: Mauricio has been blazing hot. He's probably has best like

1578
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 2: five or ten game stretch he's had all season. He's

1579
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: twelve for his last thirty right now tonight because we

1580
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: don't have those stats yet, which is one strikeout and

1581
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 2: for a guy who has struggle with strikeouts in the

1582
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 2: past and play discipline in general, like that is a

1583
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 2: massive development.

1584
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: Yep, he's been hot. Baity's been hot. Two six hits

1585
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: in his last seven games. Alvarez, you talked about being different.

1586
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: He struggled a little bit when he first got called up,

1587
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: but since then he's been really good. It just continues

1588
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: to mash. And he's hitting for power again too, which

1589
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: is really really nice. To see the three headed monster

1590
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: down there in Brooklyn. Is just it's so good it's scary.

1591
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: Alvarez since getting the call, has been fifty percent better

1592
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: than league average in Hia as.

1593
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 2: A nineteen year old. He's nineteen. Still, there's guys on

1594
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 2: this team. We looked at the roster net. We went

1595
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 2: there like twenty three, twenty four, twenty five. Alverre is

1596
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 2: a child, he's a miner, he's two years away from

1597
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 2: a legal drink, and he is mashing, mashing.

1598
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's he's really good. He's the guy who's untouchable. Baty, Mauricio.

1599
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Them playing well is great because, like, awesome, we got

1600
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: these prospects, but it's also stinks because is now obviously,

1601
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: whenever we're involved in trade talks, people are gon be like,

1602
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: so how about Beatty and Mauricio, when maybe they might

1603
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: have looked at some other guys, because we do have

1604
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: some other guys that are pretty decent. One that's been

1605
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,439
Speaker 1: heating up in particular, Mark Vientos, who we've talked about

1606
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot on this podcast. We don't really know where

1607
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: he fits in. It feels like he doesn't, but him

1608
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: playing well is great because maybe he could be a

1609
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: guy that we ship out somewhere for someone who does

1610
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: fit in.

1611
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love for someone to call us asking

1612
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 2: him about Mark Fiento's because right now it doesn't look good.

1613
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 2: He has hits in eight of his last nine games,

1614
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: he said a couple home runs there. Like the power

1615
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 2: has always been his thing, and apart from the power

1616
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 2: being his thing, the strikeouts are his thing. Like even

1617
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 2: over this nine game stretch where he has heated up,

1618
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 2: he still struck out thirty three percent of the time

1619
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,439
Speaker 2: with a batting average over three hundred. Like I don't

1620
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 2: talk about batting average very offense a pretty archaic, outdated stat,

1621
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 2: but I think it's useful. And it's like this show

1622
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 2: guy like Vanto's it doesn't make contact very much, but

1623
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 2: even with a high batting average, he still just continues

1624
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 2: to strike out. We don't have EGXIT velocity numbers on him.

1625
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're through the roof because he's a big

1626
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 2: guy with power. So maybe he just develops into like

1627
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, like even like am else to know type,

1628
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 2: Like if you could play competent defense and hit like

1629
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 2: Miguel Sono. That's valuable ish just to get a guy

1630
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 2: who hits home runs once in a while, someone who

1631
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,479
Speaker 2: I beginning to become more impressed with. I even think

1632
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 2: he probably has a higher ceiling that Viano's at this point.

1633
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 2: Is your boy the game call Carlos Quartez. Carls Cortez

1634
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: hit safely in seventeen of his last nineteen games for

1635
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 2: the Rumble Ponies at Beginston.

1636
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: He's always been a dude that, like, even at South Carolina,

1637
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: could hit like that. Was always like he's a good hitter.

1638
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: And the reason he's like a switch thrower is because

1639
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: he had to find a way to get into the

1640
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: game at any point. So in the alfare he throws

1641
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: his lefty because he gets a little better arm, there

1642
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: gets a little more range. In the infield he plays righty. Obviously,

1643
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: you just got to find a way to get him

1644
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: into the line because this dude can hit.

1645
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 2: You know, I learned today during the broadcast that Billy

1646
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 2: Wagner was a righty at first.

1647
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't because he broke his arm. He learned how

1648
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: to throw lefty.

1649
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 2: You know, he had like like a freak injury or

1650
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: something and he could not throw righty anymore.

1651
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he just happened to throw one oh two

1652
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: with his left arm. Fuck you, Billy Wagner, but I

1653
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,959
Speaker 1: love you, but also fuck you. You get two guys

1654
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: touch or two arms from the gift of God.

1655
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 2: Two arms from the gift of God. Yeah, exactly, It's

1656
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 2: exactly what he had. And then those are the prospects

1657
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 2: who are doing well. I want to touch on a

1658
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: couple of guys who've kind of been stanking. Your boy.

1659
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 2: Jank Mangum has hit the skids at Double A big time.

1660
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 2: Oh for his last twenty nine with nine strikeouts. He

1661
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 2: did hit a home run tonight, so o for twenty

1662
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 2: nine was broken by tonight. But that was rough.

1663
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 1: And you know what, it's okay because we're starting to

1664
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 1: get our guys back here, so we're no longer.

1665
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does my emergency.

1666
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Who else do we got? So let Jake Mangum marinate

1667
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: a little bit there in Double A and trying to

1668
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: figure out that pitching a little more.

1669
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, just put in some Tarioki plastic bag in the fridge,

1670
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 2: let him hang out, let them just soak the juices up.

1671
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 2: The minor league pitching the other guy who's been stanking,

1672
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 2: which this is just has really upset me, and I

1673
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 2: even upset me, but just kind of I don't want

1674
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 2: to even say surprise me, but just spooky. He still

1675
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 2: hasn't pitched since we've last spoke, but I just still

1676
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 2: want to reference how crazy it is that Tyler McGill

1677
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 2: made his debut before Thomas Apooki A.

1678
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: Pooky's been in Triple A for years.

1679
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 2: Micguil had not thrown a pitch above Hya before or

1680
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 2: this before May first, and he's in the major leagues

1681
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 2: and Thomas a POOKI just cannot or I think it's

1682
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 2: a pucky. I heard someone says a pucky. It might

1683
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 2: be so pucky when he comes to the major leagues.

1684
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,959
Speaker 2: We'll hear Gary keithan Ron pronounce it. So I'll figure

1685
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 2: it out. But it's just crazy that this guy can't

1686
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 2: seem to get it right. I guess Triple A that's

1687
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 2: a really bad side.

1688
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 1: No, he's been he's been super struggling. And just to

1689
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: go back to previous Prospect reports, we talked about wanting

1690
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: the Mets to be aggressive with guys in the minor

1691
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 1: did with Tyler McGill, and look at it, it's paid off.

1692
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: It seems like being aggressive with him is going to

1693
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: end up paying dividends.

1694
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. McGill had like a thirty five percent

1695
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 2: k rate this year between two levels. Like this guy,

1696
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 2: he was no one could touch him. He was handling it.

1697
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 2: So Pucky doesn't have that. He had a couple of

1698
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,879
Speaker 2: nice starts early in the season, but the control is shot,

1699
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 2: the strikeouts are not there. He never really had velocity

1700
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 2: to begin with, Like he just might need some more

1701
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 2: like marinating, as you just mentioned.

1702
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Yes, gotta let him, Gotta let him marinate a little bit,

1703
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Throw him in the fridge. There's nothing, there's nothing wrong

1704
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: with it. There's your reason. You know, those tough pieces

1705
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: of meat, they get good with some flavor when you

1706
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: let him marinate. So Pooky and Mangum, they're just you

1707
01:08:58,840 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: know the flank stake.

1708
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 2: We know they Whenever you marinate, food always tastes better.

1709
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 2: You the one time you've actually done it, you're like, wow,

1710
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 2: this is good. I should do this all the time. Well,

1711
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 2: I plan my meals. Then what happens? Of course, you're

1712
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 2: not gonna plan your meals. You're you're a busy person.

1713
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 2: You're doing things. Life is happening, but it always taste better.

1714
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 2: Let these guys marinate, we might be able. I still

1715
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 2: think we're gonna see some pucky before the season's out,

1716
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping it is a nice run triple light

1717
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 2: to make it worth it. But before we go, I

1718
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 2: just want to talk about my guy, Alex Ramirez, eighteen

1719
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 2: year old in high and Low A, hitting his stride.

1720
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 2: Over his last ten games, He's hitting three oh four

1721
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 2: ops is over eight hundred, one twenty six WRC plus

1722
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 2: five extra base hits for my wiry eighteen year old

1723
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 2: in low A. I freaking love this guy. He's gonna

1724
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 2: he's gonna go all the way. He's gonna This guy's

1725
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 2: gonna be a top hundred prospects. I have no doubt

1726
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 2: about it.

1727
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you mentioned him at the start of

1728
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: the year because I really didn't know anybody besides Alvarez

1729
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: who was hanging around in like those low areas. Because

1730
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: the Mets really do have like a deficiency, and like

1731
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: we got the top guys and then there's the rest,

1732
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 1: and it's good to know that there's a little something

1733
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: down there in Alex Ramirez, a little nugget that could

1734
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: you know shine one day.

1735
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's flashy, he's got some he's got some plus attributes,

1736
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: which I love. My other guy, Junior Santos, has turned

1737
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,679
Speaker 2: into pretty good starts recently. My six seven hulking menace

1738
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 2: eleven eleven innings pitch is tour in runs like the

1739
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,560
Speaker 2: control is still shaky, they still let the walks, not

1740
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 2: a ton of strikeouts, but got philosophy. He's working on

1741
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 2: the off speed stuff. Like there's a guy who I

1742
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 2: think is really going to develop as well. He might

1743
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 2: not have like a super high ceiling unless everything actually

1744
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 2: sinks up, but there's a guy who I also believe

1745
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 2: will be a major leaguer one day. And also boy

1746
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 2: JT Jin mister Tanga Ray. First time he crossed that

1747
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 2: five innings threshold since he got time of John surgery,

1748
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: which is big. So clap it up for j T.

1749
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 2: He's making progress, he's moving, he's figuring it out. Really

1750
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 2: happy to see that from a guy with tons of potential,

1751
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 2: especially after we dealt with the name Josh Wolf and

1752
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 2: the Lindor deal.

1753
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: For those of you who have listened this long, I

1754
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: need someone to tweet at us. Is it jinner Gin

1755
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 1: because I honestly have never heard anyone pronounce it.

1756
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 2: He's j T. Tanger Ray.

1757
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, JD Tangerray. That's what we'll just call him. But yeah,

1758
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,120
Speaker 1: if you get to this point, tweet us Jeter had

1759
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 1: a no arrange draftnick Mark at metstup how to pronounce

1760
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: his name because I'd like to get it right because

1761
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good and he's gonna be a part

1762
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 1: of a Mets rotation in the future. I'm glad to

1763
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: see he's pitching well.

1764
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 2: The Rays do a cool thing in their website where

1765
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 2: they have a pronunciation section where you can see the

1766
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 2: way every name on the team is pronounced and is

1767
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 2: pronounced by those players. It's very cool. I wish more

1768
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 2: teams did that.

1769
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: I think you're start to see it.

1770
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 2: You have to just because I don't know. I want

1771
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: to say these guys' names right. I'm sure they want

1772
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 2: their names set right. I'm happy that Twitter finally after

1773
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 2: a couple of years, you can. Maybe it's just the

1774
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 2: keyboard have of the Mac, but you could hold down

1775
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 2: leathers and the accents pop up. I like spelling guys

1776
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 2: names right, like I would be upset solonmost spelled my

1777
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 2: name wrong repeatedly on the internet.

1778
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: It's like the whole Luis Robert Robert scenario.

1779
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 2: Like he even we still don't we still just don't know.

1780
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: He also doesn't give you a clear answer, like in

1781
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: his first ever interview talking about how to pronounce his name,

1782
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 1: He's like, and Cuba is Robert. He's like in America

1783
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: as Robert. And I was like, so what is it.

1784
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't care. It's like, no, you have

1785
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: to pick. Just say you don't care.

1786
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 2: It's like he says, half of the tea, half of

1787
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:00,520
Speaker 2: the tab.

1788
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: But anyway, sidetracked there.

1789
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're off topic. Now. We've been going for like

1790
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 2: an hour and ten.

1791
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: It's our twenty's. This is a late recording from US.

1792
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,839
Speaker 1: I am exhausted from watching high school players play baseball

1793
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: for about seven to eight hours today, and I have

1794
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: to be up early tomorrow to watch even more baseball.

1795
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: So I'm not complaining. I'm super pumped. I get to

1796
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: watch some of the best bright young stars show off

1797
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball teams and hopefully get a chance

1798
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: to get drafted high, which is exciting. A couple guys
