Speaker 1: here for episode number forty nine of the met stub podcast.

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm your co host Draftneckmark here with James Sheiano.

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Jeter had no range talking about the New York Mets,

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: and specifically the subway series that just wrapped up against

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. Might be one of the best

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: played subway series of all time, might be one of

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: the most entertaining ones, Whether you're a Mets or a

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Yankees fan, I think that was very enjoyable baseball to

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: watch on both sides. Obviously a little more enjoyable for

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: us here as the Mets fans and Queens, but I

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: think even if you're a Yankee fan, you can and

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: you can watch those games, you could say that was

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: really good baseball either way. Back and forth. A lot

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: of storylines, a lot of little juicy gossip going on,

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: a little bit of cheating accusations being thrown around. This

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: one was one of the best of all time as

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: a subway series. So we're gonna talk about it. We're

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna go through everything. We're gonna talk about the huge

33
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: Lindor performance, three home runs in one game. We got

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: Lindor calling out the Yankees for cheating as well. We'll

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: hob you bias, John Carlow, Stanton scuffle, a little bit

36
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: of Game two drama. Game one, we had someone throw

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: a beer at Aaron Judge. I mean, there was a

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: lot going on this series. We're gonna talk about it

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: as always. I will say this last episode was down.

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I was out, said the season's over. I'm back, I'm

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: back on the ball, I'm back on the horse. I'm

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: back on the bandwagon. The season is not over. This

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: team's playing good baseball, and when Francisco Indoor plays like this,

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: we can't lose many games, so we're gonna go through it.

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: for my shameless plugging. James, how you feeling. I know

55
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: you were at Game one, so I can imagine the

56
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: vibes were just electric.

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: I agree with everything you said.

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 3: This is one of the best series of the entire

59
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: season across all of baseball.

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,559
Speaker 2: This felt like those.

61
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: Dodgers Padre series, like got really hot at the end

62
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: of last year. So playoff atmosphere every single game. That's

63
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: really all you can ask for when you're watching September baseball.

64
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: It was engaging, it was exciting. There was clutch performances,

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: there was pressure pack situations, guys blue, the game got

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: saved the game. It was everything you could want for

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: a baseball series, including the Yankees losing.

68
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, because the Yankees losing is just the

69
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: cherry on top of everything. It feels like baseball had

70
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: been a little quiet the last few weeks. We got

71
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: a little college football back, we got a little bit

72
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: of the NFL season starting as well this weekend, but

73
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: it feels like it. But it felt like that the

74
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Mets in this Yankee series was able to kind of

75
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: take over the narrative. I mean, the Mets got the

76
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: back page of the paper today, and that's what the

77
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Jets and Giants both having games that they definitely could

78
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: have done some headlines on, so I think that's pretty big.

79
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: The Jets and Giants also both played like pure dog shit.

80
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: Well that's why I think they could have gotten the headline,

81
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: because they were just bad. I mean, we're not a

82
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: football podcast here, but I know that's not good. That's

83
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: not good football.

84
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: No, it's bad football, very bad football. But Game one

85
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: I wasn't attendance. Just to move into the game breakdowns.

86
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: Here was in attendance with my dad and a couple

87
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: of friends. Went to Peter Lucas beforehand will Fall's Day treat.

88
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: It was a wonderful day of baseball, nice weather, it

89
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: was awesome. Broke out the helf New Jersey, got a

90
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: few laughs one and oh, also, I want to know

91
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: from the helf New Jerseys. We're gonna keep that going

92
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks.

93
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: And first win for the Mets in the New Black Jerseys,

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: first win as much as the black bucket hat might

95
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: have been, you know, the thing that cursed us, the

96
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: black Hefner Jersey, that's the thing that's bringing us back.

97
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

98
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: And because it was a Black Jersey game, that mess

99
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: gave up run the first inning, because they've done that

100
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: every single Black Jersey game without fail, three of those

101
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: that I've been at, and I've seen it happen.

102
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 2: So that's okay.

103
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: Just to start breaking down the game, Jeff McNeil had

104
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: absolutely no business diving for that. Brett Gardner Blooper just

105
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: gave him two extra basis for no good reason.

106
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: Just a few episodes after we were lagging.

107
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: McNeil's outfield defense now underrated is. I think he had

108
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: a pretty rough series out there.

109
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: He was definitely trying to make something happen, which I

110
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: think sometimes that can be good if you're Byron Buxton,

111
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: if you're one of the elite outfielders in Major League Baseball. Defensively,

112
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: for Jeff McNeil, who is an average to above average

113
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: left fielder, especially compared to what we've had recently out there,

114
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: he just got to be able to almost play the

115
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: game a little safe for us there, try not to

116
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: make too many things happen. But I get it. Jeff's

117
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: not doing too much with the bat right now, so

118
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: he's trying to make an impact in the field. It

119
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: just was in this first inning with Brett Gardner a

120
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: little bit too much. I mean, breck Gardner's not getting

121
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: a double on that if you just keep it in

122
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: front of you, there's no way. That's the only reason

123
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: you would to doe for it if it was like

124
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: a double no matter what, and it just wasn't.

125
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: It's also just fucking ridiculous that the Yankees have this

126
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: batting order with a lot of good hitters subjectively, and

127
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: Brett Gardner is in the two hole.

128
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you answer that question for me?

129
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Why, I'm gonna give the same answer that I would

130
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: give if the Mets had an order like this, which

131
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: we have seen. As much as I think Aaron Boone

132
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: is a moron and a terrible manager to play Devil's

133
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: Advocate here, I give Louis Rojas a lot of slack

134
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to the lineup, because I don't think

135
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: he designs it. So I'm assuming that Brian Cashman is

136
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: doing the same thing, especially when it was so blatantly

137
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: obvious that Aaron Boone was brought into be a pawn

138
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: piece and to not really make any decisions. It seems

139
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: like whatever he does, they definitely go wrong, which we'll

140
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: talk about a little bit later in this But yeah,

141
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: the fact that Brett Gardner hits anywhere besides ninth in

142
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: this order unless Tyler Wade's playing that day, I mean,

143
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: it's disgusting, It's despicable.

144
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: He doesn't even walk like, I don't get it, Like

145
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: the left handed right handed matchups are not important enough

146
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 3: to put Brett Gardner in the fucking two hole.

147
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: They're just not.

148
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: There's no way he doesn't get on base. En of

149
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: you him for any power whatsoever. He's a bad baseball

150
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: player at this point in his career, and all the

151
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: Yankee fans sitting in my section agreed with me wholeheartedly.

152
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: I think anybody who's got a clue about baseball understands

153
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: that Brett Gardner has existed on this Yankees team somehow.

154
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what dirt he has on the front office,

155
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: Brian Cashman, whatever he's doing behind closed doors, but Brett

156
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: Gardner has continuously been getting paid by this team. I

157
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: made a big joke about it in the offseason when

158
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: they traded Ottavino to save those four million dollars or

159
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and I was like, I can't wait

160
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: to see them spend that four million dollars on resigning

161
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: Brett Gardner. And up like a week later, what do

162
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, they re signed Brett Gardner. And I think

163
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: the other guy they got was Justin Wilson too, ooh

164
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: so scary, Like, I don't understand how he keeps getting

165
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: this much playing time. He's gotta be the luckiest guy

166
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: in Yankee's history that he stayed on this team for

167
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: what fifteen years of his career.

168
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: At least he looks exactly the same if you show

169
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: a picture of Brett Gardner in two thousand and nine

170
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 3: a picture of Brett Gardner today, he looks exactly the

171
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: same person.

172
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: Is it crazy to say that he might be getting better?

173
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: It's just he was not very good to begin with,

174
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: so he might have been having his best years towards

175
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: the end.

176
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: Here he's just can be completely the same the whole time, literally,

177
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: But yeah.

178
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: He made an impact, of course, because we don't get

179
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: bad left handed hitters out that are slap hitters aka

180
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: Andrew Stevenson. So it doesn't really surprise me that Bret

181
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: Gardner was a thorn on our side here in Game one.

182
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. As good as the Yankees might

183
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: have appeared, I think we're starting to realize that they're

184
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: just not as good as a team as we thought.

185
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: And in the same hand, we kind of did this

186
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: with the Mets too. We thought this Mets team had

187
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: a World Series potential, and as we've watched more and

188
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: more games, we do realize that there's issues here. I

189
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: think the Mets and the Yankees are one and the

190
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: same in that a little bit over hyped, underperforming a

191
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: little bit.

192
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to make that direct comparison right now,

193
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: because could you even imagine where the Yankees would be

194
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: without Garrett Cole And that's how the Mets have existed

195
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: for two months.

196
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Now without Jacob de Gram.

197
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: That is true, and the Yankees realistically, as the series concludes,

198
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: our fifteen games over five hundred with a thirteen game

199
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: winning streak mixed in. If you literally cut out those

200
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: two weeks where the Yankees were just world beatres and

201
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: on fire, they're a five hundred team. And again, you

202
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: need win streaks like that to get yourself to the playoffs.

203
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: That elevates your floor. We talked about this when the

204
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: Mets had that like seven game win streak in May.

205
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: Thank god we had that, Lord knows where we would

206
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: have been two weeks ago. But the Yanks is just

207
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: like a fine team who has an ace and got

208
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: really fucking hot for two weeks.

209
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: There's definitely some like serious holes in that team and

210
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: that lineup and how they play the game. I mean,

211
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: some of the guys that they throw out there, like

212
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: we talked about Gardner, and that Tyler Wade plays as

213
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: much as he does is also insane because Tyler Wade

214
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: is just not a good baseball player. By any means.

215
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: Also the fact that they just have a catcher who

216
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: is inept on defense and Gary Sanchez.

217
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: I was so happy to see that tag. I was

218
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: so happy. I'm like, oh, there he fucking is. There's

219
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez, that shitty, awful defensive catcher. As bad as

220
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: McCann's been this year, I've been hearing it from Yankee

221
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: fans all year long. Oh McCanns thinks we got Gary Sanchez.

222
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: First off, let's get off the Gary Sanchez train. That

223
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: thing is sailed. He is no longer even remotely in

224
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the conversation I think of a top ten catcher in baseball.

225
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: Think he's arguably a top ten catchers because he still

226
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: has such prolific power and the catcher position is such

227
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 3: a black hole offensively for most teams. A lot of

228
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: the organizations in baseball will be willing to sacrifice a

229
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: lot of defense for a lot of offense. But Gary

230
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: sanch just gives negative defense. It was really shown on

231
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: this tag play Jeff the listeners at home.

232
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 2: I think it was.

233
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: Confour though he smoked a single to Ma Bias.

234
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't remember.

235
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember who hit it, but VR is running because.

236
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the ball gets to Joey Gallo in left

237
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: field and it's in his glove, and Jonathan VR is

238
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: like a half step away from third base, and Gary

239
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: Disarcine is just letting that shoulder fly, just sending him

240
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: around for no goddamn reason, because like there were two outs,

241
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: so I think McNeil's also on deck against Jordian Montgomery.

242
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: The chance of jeff'neil getting a hit off Jordan Montgomery

243
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: at this point of the season and we're slimted on,

244
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: so fucking you make something happen Jonathan VR, he'll do

245
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 3: something crazy, And sure enough, Gary Sanchez just mad adored

246
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: the tag, just completely whifted, allowed Jonathan VR to slide

247
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: and tapped him on the head, which is if anyone

248
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: has played baseball as either catcher, like the middlanfield position,

249
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: just when you have to tag, that's the spot you're.

250
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: Not supposed to attack people to miss big miss.

251
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: Like watching it, I'm like, he got him on the head.

252
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: He literally can't be out. There's no way his foot

253
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: is going to beat getting touched on the head. Gary

254
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Sanchez is so inept behind the plate, he just I

255
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: don't know if he doesn't give a shit if he

256
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: doesn't care, or if he's like actually just untalented at

257
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: the position that he plays, whatever it is. Thank goodness

258
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: he's back there, because any other catcher in Major League Baseball,

259
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: and I mean anyone, maybe Wilson Ramos that might be

260
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: the only guy who doesn't do it, makes that tag

261
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: and the Mets are out of the inning, kills a rally.

262
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Vr, the juice man. I feel like he probably

263
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: just got in Gary Sanchez head a little bit because

264
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: he's crazy. I don't know what he's gonna do.

265
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: I was at the game with one of my friends

266
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: who was a high school catcher. Shout out Mike, and

267
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: he was just up in arms. He's like, how could

268
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: you do that? How could you miss that?

269
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: You go out there and get the guy?

270
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: Yes, Mike, Mike a very good defensive catcher, too fantastic.

271
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: It was just the throw beat him by literally six steps.

272
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: I've almost never seen a throw from an outfield beat

273
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 3: a guy by that much, just because Joey Gallow has

274
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: like a howitzer attached to his right arm.

275
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: The guy's a fucking monster, But like, what are you doing?

276
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: And of course Joey Gallow got his back the next

277
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: inning with a nuke moonshot.

278
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: He hasn't been hitting all year long since joining the Yankees.

279
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: The guy has been ice cold, and he will do this.

280
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: He will go through these just stretches where he cannot

281
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: touch a baseball. He's a three true outcome guy at

282
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: the absolute most, like basic level of it. Home run, walk, strikeout,

283
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: That's what Joey Gallow does. He just happened to hit

284
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: one of those home runs this time while in like

285
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: a oh for twenty something stretch. He was ice gold.

286
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: But I think it's imported to note that was basically

287
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 3: the only mistake that Tyler McGill made all night and

288
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: what I think was the best start of his young career.

289
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Which is crazy because you know, a couple of weeks ago,

290
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: we were being told that Tyler McGill is going to

291
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: become a maybe middle reliever at best. You know that

292
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: this guy doesn't have much, and he took down the

293
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: big and mighty New York Yankees. So I mean, we

294
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: gotta be talking about the Jacob de Gram hype train again,

295
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: right with Tyler McGill.

296
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 3: I mean, if Kate Felmon is listening to this, and

297
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: I know she is, like I think the most, the

298
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: brilliant baseball mind that she exists as like, I just

299
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: want an apology, maybe to Tyler McGill.

300
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: Maybe say you're sorry to the guy. Maybe don't compare

301
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: him to Jacob the Gram or maybe continue it, keep

302
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: talking trash. Maybe it's what fires him up because he's pitching.

303
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: Well, I bet it does, because he was like stalking

304
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: around the mound that game.

305
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: He was like snapping the glove.

306
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: He was showing some emotion, even though that's by the

307
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: time this game like god to the middle innings winning

308
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: by a lot of runs, and we'll talk about that later,

309
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: but he was just so in command. At one point

310
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: between the third, fourth and fifth or fourth, fifth and

311
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: six innings, he retired eleven out of twelve batthers. I

312
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: guess another inning probably the third, fourth, fifth, sixth. That

313
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: was it retired eleven out of twelve Yankees. He wound

314
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: up with seven through seven innings with ten strikeouts, only

315
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: gave up four hits, one walk, two earned runs. Two

316
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: of those hits were in the first inning as well.

317
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: It was just fucking economical. It was a beautiful, beautiful start,

318
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 3: and especially a game that was like kind of out

319
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: of control for the first three or four innings. There

320
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: was a lot of emotion, There was a lot of energy,

321
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 3: there were a lot of base runners on both sides.

322
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: He just really tapered everything down and put the Mets very,

323
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: very in control to win a game. And a big

324
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: reason for that was that the umpire had a very

325
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: wide zone. It seemed like, I don't know how it

326
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: looked on television, but there were some very blatantly obvious

327
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 3: strike calls that I thought should not have been strikes

328
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: early on in this game.

329
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the umpiring was rough all round. I mean, anytime

330
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: you have the crew chief or I don't even know

331
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: if he was a crew chief, but anytime you have

332
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: Angel Hernandez on the umpiring staff, which he was in

333
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: this game. He wasn't behind the plate for Game one.

334
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: He was behind it for I think Game three.

335
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: Maybe it was first base in game one because my

336
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: friend Mike, who knows like six players in Major League Baseball,

337
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: he says it was the first Mets game he'd been

338
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: two in years. Four guys in the team we're sitting

339
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: in the upper deck on the first base side, and

340
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: he points, he goes, that's Angel Hernandz' is the first

341
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: base We're like, how the fuck.

342
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Did you know that?

343
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: And we looked it up and it was Angel Hernanz

344
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: at first base.

345
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: He went out and ran out to right field and

346
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: told him to turn off the lights because Fox Sports

347
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: lights were just on during the first sitting. That's why

348
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: there was that big delay. In case anyone, yeah, that

349
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: was the reason for that. But yeah, bad umpiring crew

350
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: for sure. I don't care. Helped us out. You're gonna

351
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: help us win. I'm not gonna complain never. I will

352
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: not do that. I will be that fan it helps me.

353
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: I'm happy one hundred percent.

354
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: And then, just to wrap up, like McGill's analysis here,

355
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: he just ripped fastballs the thing he was doing before,

356
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: and this time it just worked. He threw him two

357
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: thirds of the time sixty six at ninety eight pitches,

358
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: which is kind of hilarious amount just gasing ninety five,

359
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: and the Yankees couldn't really touch it. He was dotting

360
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: him up corners, high, low, mixing everywhere.

361
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: Weirdly, this seemed to be a little bit of a

362
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: theme with the Mets against the Yankees this weekend. I

363
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: feel like there was a lot of fastballs, especially from

364
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: relief pitchers, which we will get to at one point.

365
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: No, there was.

366
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: I'll get to that after because also because Carrasco and

367
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: Taiwan threw a lot of forcene fastballs. Carasco especially, who

368
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: wasn't not really a guy who wins with velosity. But

369
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: again we'll talk about it after. But the thing about

370
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: mcguil with throwing that many fastballs, he was really good

371
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: at using his off speed stuff to catch the Yankees

372
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: off guard. He threw fourteen change ups and seventeen sliders,

373
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: which is a pretty small amount, like relative to what

374
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: he usually does, but each of them got at.

375
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: Least fifty percent whiffs.

376
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: That's great.

377
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: So when you're riding that and you're diting up your

378
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 3: four teamer on the black, can't lose.

379
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: He did his fucking job, and he did it.

380
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: We may not know what kind of picture he ultimately

381
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: ends up being. I think this type of start assures

382
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: you that he will be a starting pitcher. I think

383
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: that it shows that he's got what it takes. One

384
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: thing that's for sure, he has got all the freaking

385
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: confidence in the world. This dude, like you said, owns

386
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: the mound. And it's such a breath of fresh air

387
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: when we've had guys like Matts and David Peterson who

388
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: can be a little bit down on themselves, a little

389
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: bit like e Wor on the mound where she's like,

390
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: oh woe is me? Like mcgil gets in trouble, he's like,

391
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: not fuck you, I'm coming back out here. Let's go.

392
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,239
Speaker 1: Like he battles, he fights.

393
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.

394
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: And while he was out there battling and fighting, the

395
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: Mets offense was out there battling of fighting. We just

396
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: were scoring so many bullshit runs every single inning because

397
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: the Yankees, like we said, are bad baseball. We had

398
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: an entire ass rally and I think it was the

399
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: third inning where the Mets only hit one ball hard

400
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: and it was from James McCann. We scored four runs.

401
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: We got infield singles, walks, Glaber made an error, Jevon

402
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: Yourschella made an error. It was just it looked like

403
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: a litle league team out there for half the game.

404
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: Well, the Yankees just don't play a defense. They were like, they.

405
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: Have a bad defensive alignment.

406
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: They have a defensive alignment as reminiscent of what the

407
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: Mets would throw out on a field.

408
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: Labor Torre is playing shortstop. He's just not a good shortstop.

409
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: He's not really much of a great second basement either.

410
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: He's fine at that position. You move him to shortstop,

411
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: he's lost. He has no clue, no range, is stonehands awful.

412
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: People like to talk about Gioe Orchella, Oh you should

413
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: win a goal. Glove Joe Rochelle is like defensive metric

414
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: numbers are just really not that good. He does not

415
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: make the routine plays. He'll make the spectacular play every

416
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: once in a while, but he struggles on some routine balls.

417
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: He is, by no means this fielding wizard in the

418
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: likes of Matt Chapman, Nolan Aaronatto. He's not in that

419
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: same category, which some Yankee fans would like to tell you.

420
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: And it really showed in this game.

421
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: That throw he made home with bases loaded one out

422
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: was so off targeted, like wasn't even funny.

423
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: It was just it was a ground ball. He had

424
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: to move to his glove side like he got dirty.

425
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: I believe it wasn't like an easy play, but also

426
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: wasn't the hardest I've ever seen, And it was just

427
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: he was an ept.

428
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: It completely air mail.

429
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: This game would have been totally different if Giuvoni Herchell was

430
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: able to make that throw home and get the guy

431
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: and could they could have turned out play the first base,

432
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: but he couldn't. And then the Mets shows went gangbusters

433
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: after that.

434
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: Yup Lindor home run Hovey double. I mean, it was

435
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: super nice to see those guys hitting together and playing well.

436
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: And boy have these guys been playing well, especially since

437
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: they've come back with each other. I mean, Hovey has

438
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: the highest OPS among all the Cubs that were trade

439
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: at the deadline. I think he's like a nine to eleven,

440
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: which is like weird, that might be the number nine

441
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: twenty three. Okay, nine to twenty three since the trade,

442
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: it is one hundred points higher than the next guy,

443
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: which I think is Chris Bryant. Because Rizzo has been

444
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit here, Haavey bay Is is playing himself

445
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: into what feels like is going to be a contract

446
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: extension with the New York Mets. I feel like I'm

447
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: starting to agree with you too. He still did his

448
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: hobby stuff where he got thrown He got thrown out

449
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: at third base and back to back innings, which is

450
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: just outrageous.

451
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: He tried to steal third with one out. Off of

452
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: Jordan Montgomery right before McCann hit the doubles. We could

453
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: have got an additional run for that, but he was literally

454
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 3: just walking off the base. Thus he was in literally

455
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: no man's land, and one company turns around was like.

456
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: What are you doing? He just like ran on him

457
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: with the ball. How he just like stood there. He

458
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: was like shuffling.

459
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 3: It's bizarre to watch him play every day, but you

460
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: cannot argue with the type of production he's had. He

461
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: has a one hundred and fifty WRC plus and nine

462
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: to twenty three ops, like we just said since the trade,

463
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 3: with seven home runs in twenty nine games to go

464
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: along with twenty three runs scored and thirteen RBIs. This

465
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: is exactly what we were talking about when the trade happened.

466
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 3: At We didn't know if he could do it, but

467
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 3: at least he can do it like it's possible. He

468
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: has something in his body that can turn him into

469
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 3: one of the best players in baseball. He's not able

470
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: to do on a consistent basis and you can't really

471
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: count on it, but it's in there and it's showing.

472
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: Also, he's i think doubled his walk rate since coming

473
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: to the Mets. He's got five walks in one hundred

474
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: and twenty one played appearances as opposed to fifteen and

475
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: three sixty one. So if we've got a little more

476
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: patient Hobby here, it's something to talk about.

477
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: And his couz k rate by ten percent between his

478
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: time with the Helps us here in time with the Mets,

479
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: thirty six percent with the Cubs, and I think twenty

480
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: six percent with the Mets.

481
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: Well, something that we talked about was that this Mets

482
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: seem struggled to make people pay on their mistakes. Hobby Bias,

483
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: you make a mistake, he is crushing it and he's

484
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: been doing that recently, which is like such a breath

485
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: of fresh air. We talked about VRB and the juice man.

486
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: Hobby Bias brings a lot of juice as well. The

487
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: thumbs down thing that's over and forgotten about now, who

488
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: gives a shit because the guy's playing out of his

489
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: mind and the team's starting to win again.

490
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 3: I had a pretty awful thought when I was leaving

491
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 3: this game on Friday, would you have what if we

492
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: also got Jose Brios the trade deadline? I know, like,

493
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: especially when that report came out afterwards, that the Mets

494
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: didn't want to give up Dom Smith or Jeff McNeil.

495
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dom's the one that I really scratched my head.

496
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: You couldn't You couldn't have traded like Dom and Mauricio,

497
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 3: two of our guys. But you couldn't have traded Dom

498
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 3: and Mauricio for Jose Burrios. And even if you ended

499
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: up trading Dom McNeil, you couldn't give him peanuts for

500
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: Adam Duval or Eddie Rosario or Corey Dickerson and filled

501
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: that corner afield spot like that.

502
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: It would have been nice if the Mets just really

503
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: they pushed for it, but I think the front office

504
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: got a little prudent. I think they got a little

505
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: prudent for yep.

506
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: But that's Game one.

507
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Game one, good win, good victory by the Mets, good vibes,

508
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: especially after what was the just absolute train wreck in Miami.

509
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Needed something to pick our spirits up here and it did,

510
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: and that led us into Game two, which was, you know,

511
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: one of the more I guess emotional games of the year,

512
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: just because twentieth anniversary of nine to eleven Mets first Yankees.

513
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: You saw them all get on the line with each

514
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: other like in between Mets Yankees, Mets Yankees flip flopping.

515
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of solidarity to teams bringing everybody together.

516
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: It was nice, it was good, and it was a

517
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: rollercoaster of a game. This game was all over the place.

518
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: You were obviously all over the place too. You're in

519
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: the city. You came to our apartment. We were out

520
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: in Queen's all over the place watching the game. We

521
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: thought it was over. Then James McCann decides he's gonna

522
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: be Superman. I mean, we have so much to talk

523
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: about here. Let's just start off from the rip first.

524
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: Yankees went up big early. That's that's the big story.

525
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: Taiwan just couldn't really get any of the Yankees out early.

526
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is very good. Carl Stantons the ball very hard.

527
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: KYLEI Gashioko, who I hate for some reason, just like

528
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: you can't let that guy hit the home run.

529
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: The home run Stroka Kyle Higashioka. That's one of the

530
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: best calls.

531
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: That I wish he hit more home runs so we

532
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: could hear that more often.

533
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: It's pretty electric. I will say that he may not

534
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: know what's happening on the field, but no one gives

535
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: you a better home run call than job Runroka, Kyle.

536
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean that guy is essentially like somewhat almost turned

537
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: into Garyan, where he's like I will hit one eighty,

538
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: I will hit home runs, but I play good defense. Yes,

539
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: that is where I have the extra value.

540
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: He's the poor man's Mike's Nino. Yeah.

541
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: That Oh, that's such a good comparison, very.

542
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 3: Very good, especially because Mike's is like the poor man's

543
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: like Yasmini Granda.

544
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about this game, though, is we talked about,

545
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, Judge standing all these guys hitting early. We

546
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: got a little development after Game three, which is that

547
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: the Yankees might have been picking up some pitches that

548
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: Taiwan was tipping. That Taiwan could have been tipping them.

549
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: There's apparently a little bit of whistle that comes out,

550
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: and apparently the Mets took a liking to it, which

551
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: we will talk about more in game three. But I

552
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: mean Taiwan got shelled. I could see it. I'm not

553
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: one to accuse, we I have no and even Lindor said,

554
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: I have no proof. I'm not going to accuse, but

555
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: I could see it.

556
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: Also because the offense seemed to curtail after this first

557
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 3: few innings, yes, once something was called out, it seemed

558
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: like Taiwan was in control, especially because otherwise Taiwan was

559
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: in control. Like he got a ton of whis this game.

560
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: All three of the primary pitches. He threw his four seamers,

561
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: slide on, his splitter, had the call swing striker over

562
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: thirty three percent.

563
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: He had eight strike gas of six innings. They just

564
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: actually teed off early.

565
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: They were just really hitting the ball hard, and they

566
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: weren't hitting the ball hard yank I think at five

567
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: balls and played this game above one hundred and four

568
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 3: miles an hour. They were crushing it. It happened, but

569
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: it seemed like he was more in control after that.

570
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 3: Then it looked like he would have been the way

571
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: the Yankees were hitting the ball.

572
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: Early, which is like so traditionally like the opposite of

573
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: what happens in a game, especially for Taiwan. Third time

574
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: through the order, you're supposed to start seeing a little

575
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: bit more pressure and stuff, and seemed like he just

576
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: got more comfortable. So maybe we made a tweak, maybe

577
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: there was no whistling going on. Whatever it was. We

578
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: got to come back though with a rally, which was

579
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: crazy because we were led by Pillar, McCann and Taiwan

580
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: with the bats. Which that's not a sentence I ever

581
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: expected to say in the season. Maybe one time in

582
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: June when we had a triple A lineup. Not here

583
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: in September playing the Yankees.

584
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: Dude, Kevin Pilar is actually hot right now.

585
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: He will give you that. He will. He will just

586
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: get hot like this.

587
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: He had the hardest ball in play for the Mets

588
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: for the fifth time in the last nine games.

589
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: That just doesn't feel right, but it happens.

590
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: He has a nine to fifty ops sin September first,

591
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: But five extra base hits and eleven RBIs.

592
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: That's not even two weeks of baseball.

593
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: No, that's that's really good. That's like huge production that

594
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: we definitely need, especially for an offense or a team

595
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: that's offense has been struggling. It's been crazy that we

596
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: could look to Kevin Pillar to give us some RBIs

597
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: and extra bass hits and McCann double dip and he

598
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: hit the big home run off. Lucas was the guy's name,

599
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: Luther Ja Luki Luky Lutherja, No Lucas Luki Lucas Luca.

600
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 2: That guys, and you pronounced that Luki Luky.

601
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. I'm gonna say Luther Jay I like luj

602
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: a lot better. But mcat hit the home run off him.

603
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 3: And he's also just like kind of in a baby

604
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 3: hot streak right now because he's been so bad for

605
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: months that we just he's due for a tiny baby

606
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 3: hot streak, Like he had a couple. Uh, he had

607
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 3: one in July. He had when he's like first base

608
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 3: in May. He's due for a little bit two weeks,

609
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: two weeks with the bat.

610
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: Well, how about not just the home run, he had

611
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: a freaking triple. Well that was in the rally with Pillar.

612
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: I thought we talked about that. Well, no, I don't

613
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: think we even talked about it. That James McCann had

614
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: a home run in a triple in this game, which

615
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: might be the most production that he's given this team ever. Ever,

616
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: when we were hanging out, we were on cycle watch, we

617
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: were we thought that there was a chance that James

618
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: McCann could hit for this cycle, which is not I

619
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: think i'd ever say to speak a little bit more

620
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: on James McCann here, it's just so blatantly obvious. We

621
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: need a left handed catcher because James McCann actually hits

622
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: left handed pitching pretty well, especially for the catcher position.

623
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: He just simply has no idea what to do against righties.

624
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: Against lefties this year one hundred and seven plained appearances

625
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: two sixty nine average, three fifty five on base four

626
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: to forty one slavaging seven ninety six ops. That is

627
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: a very very serviceable catcher split platoon right there, Is

628
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: there someone with the left hand bat that we could

629
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: find it hit the righties, because against the Riots he's

630
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: got six to twenty two ops. He has no clue

631
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: what's going on there.

632
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: That's a real shame because that's like the one position

633
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: you just can't platoon. We just need to find a

634
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: rity who could hit Righty's really what we need to find.

635
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 3: He's a good catcher that McCann can platooned with.

636
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: Well. Like now that like you know, we've got Francisco

637
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Alvarez coming up. Let's try to like maximize that catcher

638
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: position a little bit here. We just just find one

639
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: left handed back. There's gotta be somebody. Jason Castro does

640
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: he hit right as well. Jason Castro is even he's

641
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: on the Angels still. Yeah, I know that he was

642
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: a platoton guy for a while. With like Martin Maldonado.

643
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: I would take Maldonado just to be a really good

644
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: defensive player for one hundred games and let mcannon just

645
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 3: bash lefties.

646
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I mean again lefty this game. There you go,

647
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: James McCann smashing lefties.

648
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: Lucas Nicky lefty on Friday, Joan Montgomery.

649
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: Yep, so he's definitely got something against the lefties here,

650
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: something keep an eye out for, for sure. The Mets rallied.

651
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: We really did that, being said, just gave it, gave

652
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: it right back, gave it right back, give it right back.

653
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: It took a few winnings like we were winning through

654
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: the sixth into the seventh. Lugo had a very clean ending.

655
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: Kevin another RBS single tacked one on, and then Trevor

656
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 3: May came in and Aaron Judge in the moonshot.

657
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: Trevor May was doing this weird thing right where he

658
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: was just throwing like all fastballs only and I know

659
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 1: that was the Mets, like seemed to be their mL

660
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: this weekend was fastball, fastball, fastball. But Trevor May's fastball

661
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: like is just not good enough. And I feel like

662
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: this is something we've accused of him in the past.

663
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's too much fastball that it gets hit, especially

664
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: when his command's not on, and it just it got

665
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: smacked around.

666
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: This fastball is good, though, Like, if you're gonna make

667
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: a mistake, at least make it one hundred miles an hour,

668
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 3: which is what he does, and he's been pretty consistent

669
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: over the last month or two. Just your reliever sometimes

670
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 3: high Aron's goldn't give up a home run to Aaron Judge.

671
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: It's such a shame that fucking breck Gardner was on

672
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: base again for this fucking home run, because for some

673
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 3: reason it just worked out him hitting the two hole

674
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 3: this series.

675
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: It was just kind of how the Yankees have been

676
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: rolling always since Breck Gardner seems to be a two

677
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: hole hitter for them for the last like three years

678
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: for some reason. It doesn't make sense. It sucked that

679
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: one was deflating. That was like, oh man, we really

680
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: had a chance to like bury this team, especially because

681
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: like to build onto this like narrative of the Yankees

682
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: choking away the playoffs saincase the Blue Jays were winning

683
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: that day, the As might have been winning, Like there

684
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: was a world, where like, well, the Yankees were in

685
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: real trouble. Could have been a little bit one of

686
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: the nails in the coffin. But also at this point

687
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: in the game we were not yet losing.

688
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: May've gave up a hit the stand.

689
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 3: First third consecutive base runner brought Loop in the game,

690
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 3: who I don't want to say Aaron Loop is regressing.

691
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: He definitely seems to be much more mortal. His first

692
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 3: battery faced Anthony Rizzo put one to the warning track

693
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 3: that looked like it was probably going out. I think

694
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: labor Torre has got a dig kiel infield single and

695
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: then Loup got the double play ball he was.

696
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: Looking for, and Hovey just couldn't complete the return.

697
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: He just couldn't a little clean on the transfer. I

698
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: guess that is technically right the transfer. I think return transfer,

699
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: whatever it is, stunk really could have used. It really

700
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: would have been big, especially because Yankee's went ahead, but

701
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: it happened. I don't know how to feel about this one.

702
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: It was just it was a little deflating a little bit.

703
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: I was worried, but also like I was still in

704
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: the mindset of the season's over, so let's just have

705
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: fun and enjoy it while it lasts, and the Mets did.

706
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: They did fight. They did fight in this game, no doubt,

707
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: like there was no giving up. They played hard. I

708
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: couldn't be upset.

709
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: Oh definitely.

710
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 3: Pete has that bat in the eighth inning when VR

711
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 3: and lindul Ron I thought something's gonna happen.

712
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: JD.

713
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: Davis is the ground ul double and the ninth off

714
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: of Chapman. Because Chapman is also just super mortal at

715
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 3: this point in his career. The Mets have really showed

716
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 3: that once back in fourth July, we just could get

717
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: the big hit, and he gotten some big hits over

718
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: the last few weeks, like not including the Marlin series

719
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: of course, but it happened.

720
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 2: Whatever. Lose a game, you lose.

721
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: A game, lose a game, it's gonna happen again. They're

722
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: a good team. They still are. Like on paper, it's

723
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to beat the Yankees. You're not playing

724
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: again the Pittsburgh Pirates, who you lose a game like

725
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: that to. The Pirates were upset, as you've seen from us,

726
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: and they did in the past. Yeah, and they have

727
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: Game three. Now, let's talk about this one, because Wow,

728
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: game of the year for the Mets. I think maybe

729
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: one of the games of the year for all of baseball.

730
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: This was an incredibly exciting game to watch. It was

731
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: a damn shame it was on Sunday Night Baseball. The

732
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: only good thing that came out of it was Matt

733
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: fask Ursion was losing his goddamn mind every single time

734
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: the ball went into the air.

735
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: Mad Vaskursion just jump ahead to some notes I had, like,

736
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: we're end up talking about Lindor a lot. When he

737
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: hit the first home run the second inning, Matt vask

738
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: Version was screaming at the top of the lungs that

739
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor just found his signature Mets moment.

740
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: Bro, it's the second fucking inning, are you joking? Or

741
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: the third whatever?

742
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: That one was.

743
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: Little did he know that he would somehow be right

744
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: about the date for the signature moment. Just not that

745
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: home run, not that inning. I just couldn't believe. He

746
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, Fret's is gold door year of turboil

747
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: has done it.

748
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 3: His metsings is bro, we have six more innings to play.

749
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: How could you think this game is over? Of course

750
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 3: it was far from over. Last show was going on.

751
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: But again, back to the beginning of the game, d J. L.

752
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 3: May who walked to start the game for back to

753
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 3: the second time, and as many Knights and came around

754
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: to score after leadoff walk for the second time and

755
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: as many nights cross Grasco first sitting, Like, I don't

756
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 3: want to like pick on this narrative, but it's like

757
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: the truest shit, Like you can't really.

758
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: Do much about it.

759
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: Every time, every single time he gives up around the

760
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: first sitting, it's like, we'll see, we'll see what it

761
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: is next year. I'm not looking too much into it.

762
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: Like you said, we don't want to build this narrative,

763
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: but we can't not talk about it. We just won't

764
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: get worried.

765
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 3: I think he threw a fat pitch of John Carlos

766
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,239
Speaker 3: stand for that double. I don't know why he threw

767
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: him a fastball. I guess the book is just throw

768
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: fastballs against the Yankees. I would have preferred that maybe

769
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: to be in a different spot or more like a

770
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: low because it's still too two and Crasco has good

771
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: enough commands that you could dot a change up or

772
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: a slide or whenever you want it. He hit a

773
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: fucking bullet one hundred and fourteen miles now off the bat,

774
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: it was just it's like kind of awe striking, how

775
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: hard John Carlos stance and can hit the ball.

776
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's got a different sound. I went to a

777
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: game where he was on the Marlins, and I was

778
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: in Arizona so indoor stadium, so the roofs closed, and

779
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: he hit balls that sounded like a gun was being fired.

780
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: I was like, that just sounds so different. We see

781
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso hit some hard balls. We've been seeing Kevin

782
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: Pillar hit some hard balls. John Carlos stand is just

783
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: on a different level.

784
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: Literally, since the stackcast era, he leads all of Major

785
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: League Baseball and hits ball'sn't play over one hundred and

786
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: ten miles now and over one hundred and fifteen miles

787
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: an hour. And I say that because the stack cast

788
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: era began twenty fifteen. Dr Carls Stand has played some

789
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 3: incomplete seasons since then, and he still leads all Major

790
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 3: League Baseball in both of the statistics.

791
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna lose those thrones anytime soon.

792
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: No, definitely, not definitely, not anytime soon. Luckily for us,

793
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: the Yankees had Clark Schmidt on the mound, which you know,

794
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of pain a second game cock. I

795
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: had to root against two game Cocks this series, which

796
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: that's pain for me as a South Carolina alumni. Who's

797
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: the second Jordan Montgomery?

798
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: Oh nice, I didn't even know that.

799
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a game COCKX going. I like Jordan Montgomery, Yeah, Gumby,

800
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 1: he's he's pretty good. But Clark Schmidt just hasn't been

801
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: it has not been it. There's like some hype around him,

802
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: but I don't really know what he's going to turn into.

803
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: Luckily for us, he was just not very good in

804
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: this game, and the Mets to take advantage of him early,

805
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: like we saw at that Lindor home run. It was

806
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: good to see.

807
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: The door home run was also big because he picked

808
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: up Jonathan VR after striking out with second and third,

809
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: then one out, because that's what Jonath VR does.

810
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: He's Jonathan Vire, the crazy cowboy guys on bass runners

811
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: in scoring position. He's gotta be. He's he leads off innings,

812
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: put the blinders on.

813
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: Don't see anything. To hit a single, get a walk,

814
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.

815
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: But that was important because I feel like if the

816
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: Metical have squandered that opportunity after being down early. It

817
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: could have sent the game down a different path. But

818
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 3: of course it didn't. Because Francisca Lindor's a beast.

819
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: He shows up when we need him. He has he

820
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: hits some big home runs early in the season. He

821
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: has gotten some big hits for us, even the one

822
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: like in Washington. He's really starting to heat up. And

823
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: I think if you're a Mets fan and you've really

824
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: been watching, you know that the numbers that you're seeing

825
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 1: right now in the you know, scorebook for a season,

826
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: that slash line is not really indicative of how he's

827
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: played this year. Ooh, one minute of the go breaking news.

828
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: My guy Tim Ryther just posted the video.

829
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: You could very clearly hear a whistle right before he

830
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: got Joka's home run.

831
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: Ooh, ooh, juicy, what do you got for me now,

832
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: John boy, you're gonna talk about that one. You're gonna

833
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: do a full breakdown.

834
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: Let's play it two days that.

835
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's so loud. I can hear it through zoom.

836
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play it again for the listeners at home.

837
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: Two days.

838
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, spicy. Now here's the thing. Let's just talk

839
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: about this now since you just brought it up, Lindor

840
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: accused the Yankees of whistling, And there is nothing wrong

841
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: with doing the whistle nothing if there is no h

842
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: peripheral equipment being used. Is that the right word peripheral?

843
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything extraneous.

844
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Yes, nothing, you know, outsourced here. If you're on second

845
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: base and the Mets are not doing a good job

846
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: changing up the signs and they're like hey, one and

847
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, that's a fastball. He literally only put

848
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: down one sign and you whistle, oh fastball. That's on

849
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: the Mets. If there's other stuff being used here to

850
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: find out these signs, that's where we draw an issue.

851
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: That's where we have a problem. Be interesting to see

852
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: how many games we can go back to now and

853
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: hears some whistles from the Yankees right before they hit

854
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: home runs.

855
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: I think it could be fun if maybe while I'm

856
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 3: editing this podcast trying to get up for the listeners

857
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: before ends of business today, maybe we could also do

858
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: so avoid breakdown of some whistling.

859
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: Uh, the Yankees whistling scandal. Comma a breakdown?

860
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be such a good idea. No one

861
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: say anything like that.

862
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: No, it feels pretty original. I think I think we're

863
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna roll with that. That might be my thing. We'll see

864
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: how we do.

865
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: All right.

866
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: Back to this game, though, Carrasco first inning runs, that's

867
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 3: the book here. He has now given up fifteen earned

868
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: runs in nine first innings this season.

869
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: Shocking.

870
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: It literally doesn't even make sense.

871
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: Because every single time he settles in after He only

872
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: allowed one base runner between the third, fourth and fifth

873
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: innings and just three total from the second inning on, like.

874
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: Because that's what he does.

875
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: He's like fucking good.

876
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: And like you mentioned before, he was very, very fastball

877
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: heavy fifty one percent four steamers and it was good.

878
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: Got five whiffs, nine called strikes. The only one that

879
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: was really bad was that once a Stanton, which I

880
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: think was just a bad decision or possibly bad location.

881
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: It was like low middle you never throw. John called

882
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: Sanda pitch a long middle. He hits that run one

883
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: hundred percent of the time.

884
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. We saw that later in the game too, with

885
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: a low low middle, fast game.

886
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, but that was also off the tee.

887
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

888
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 3: But again back to Grascow, real quickly, Slider got six

889
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: whists on eleven swings.

890
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: It was good. He had great command on it.

891
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: He was putting it in at the ground spot where

892
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 3: it's just low and outsides of the right handed hitters,

893
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: and they wave at it every single fucking time.

894
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: He's just really fucking good.

895
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: I'm so confident Carlos Carrasco for twenty twenty two, like

896
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: infinitely confident.

897
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: Kind of like Jonathan Vr. Nobody on base. He's cash money.

898
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: So we gotta somehow convince Carlos Carrasco that's the second inning.

899
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: Maybe we have him throw a little simulated game out

900
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. Maybe it comes out early and just

901
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 1: starts pitching on the mound before the game even starts.

902
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: Whatever it takes, because there's something going on there with

903
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: the first inning where he's like, I just I gotta

904
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: give up some I gotta give up something. I can't

905
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: be clean.

906
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: It's gotta like spin him around a few times. Yeah,

907
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: can spin him around as the story.

908
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: Gives him on the scoreboard. Maybe just put up second inning.

909
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 3: We also I forgot to mention that the Mets were

910
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: wearing their home whites for the first time in years

911
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: on Saturday night.

912
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: I totally forgot to talk about that.

913
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Yes, and they had a New York on the front,

914
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: which is something that the Mets have, I believe, not

915
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: done in a very long time, maybe not even ever. Yeah,

916
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: it was a nice, great uniform weekend.

917
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: I really like clean.

918
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: MLB allowed the Mets to wear their alternates. They all

919
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: wear the FDNY NYPD stuff on Saturday night and Sunday.

920
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: I believe it was very well done weekend by Major

921
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: League Baseball.

922
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: Yep, good job. They've butchered nine to eleven. You know

923
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: memorial stuff in the past where they wouldn't let the

924
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: Mets wear the NYPD or FDNY hats in years past,

925
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: and it's just like they're like, well find you. It's like,

926
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: Joe Torri, You're such an idiot, dude, Like you literally

927
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: were managing the Yankees when all this stuff happened. How

928
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: can you be so daft to not even understand like

929
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: how important this stuff is two people like it is.

930
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: It's super important to a lot of people.

931
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: That is the best word you've ever used on this podcast.

932
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: Daft. Yes, keep talking about the Mets. I mentioned Lindor

933
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: being hot. Let's talk about him here, because he stole

934
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: the night. He was incredible. He hit that home run

935
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: early and then he hit a second again, and he

936
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: put the Mets ahead even more, and as he was

937
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: round in the bases, he did the whistle thing, calling

938
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: it out, looking right at Stanton right in the eyes,

939
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: giving him the whistle. And this kind of built a

940
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a narrative for as the game went on,

941
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: because John Carlos Stanton then gets to the plate later

942
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: on hits an absolute nuke off of Brad Hand.

943
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: Because I want to talk about the context that led

944
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: to this John Carlos Stanton's home rogues, I think it's

945
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: very important.

946
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, Yeah, tell the context.

947
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 3: First, Earls, Carrasco finished his five innings because he had

948
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: the rough first, so he was done and it was fine.

949
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 3: He got like two at bats, which is too too

950
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: many for Carlos Carrasco's ever have. Miguel Castro came in

951
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: and pitched a clean No, he didn't come in first.

952
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: I think Familia may have started the sixth, and then

953
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: Castro came in to finish the job.

954
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 2: I believe that is it.

955
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: And then yeah, Familia gave up the nuke to Glaber Labor.

956
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: That was it, and Castro came in and cleaned up.

957
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: Okay, so Miguel Castro faced the last two badges of

958
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: the sixth inning. In terms of the new three battered

959
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: minimum rule, if you complete an inning, no matter how

960
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: many batteries.

961
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: You face, you're allowed to be done.

962
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 3: But for some reason, Luis row has likes to stretch

963
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: Miguel Castro, and he sent him out there to start

964
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 3: the seventh inning, and he immediately gave up the leadoff

965
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 3: single too. It was either the Mayhew or Rizzo, I

966
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: remember who, but someone gotta lead off base hit. So

967
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 3: now Brett Gardner, okay, it was La may Because now

968
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 3: Brett Gardner was up with was gallow on deck? I

969
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 3: think Calla was on deck? Because Judge didn't play with

970
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: the dizzyness.

971
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: Correct judge.

972
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: Judge got pulled for Gardner.

973
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: No for dizzyness. Yeah, yeah, because he's a child. He's

974
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 2: not he's not tough.

975
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: So Gardner is up with Joey Gallo on deck, John

976
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 3: Carlos Stanton hole and Anthony Rizzou. No, Anthony Rizzou in

977
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 3: the hole, then Stanton and then Joey Gallop. So you know,

978
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 3: based on a three battery minimum rule here that brad

979
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 3: Hand is going to face John Carlos Stanton.

980
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: It's a fucking guarantee.

981
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 3: When you bring him in with him up in three batters,

982
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 3: you have to face him, and of course he hits

983
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: a fucking nuke right off him because he threw a

984
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: low fastball like ninety three miles an hour on a

985
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: fucking tee that was put into the into orbit. And

986
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 3: I want to ask you if you will have allowed

987
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: Brad Hand to get that at bat or if you

988
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 3: will have walked Mike Stanton.

989
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm a thousand percent walking Mike. Mike doesn't see

990
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: a pitch there. Jerry Blevins was talking about it on

991
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: Twitter too. He was like, you just have to be

992
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: smarter than that. You have to know that if you

993
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: are gonna throw a fastball, it's got to be two

994
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: feet off the plate. It can't be anywhere even close

995
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: to the strike zone. Bradhn put it on a fucking tee,

996
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: like you said, I mean, you couldn't have asked for

997
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: a better BP pitch. He threw a ninety min hour

998
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: fastball low and inside to John Carlos Stan and he

999
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: just absolutely demolished it because he's a strong human and

1000
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: he is a good baseball player.

1001
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 3: I got in a little fight with my uncle during

1002
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 3: this because I don't really love the intentional walk, especially

1003
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: with a guy like Joey Gallow on deck, who is

1004
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: even though he's struggling, he's very likely to hit a

1005
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 3: home run also off of brad Hand. At least if

1006
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: John Carlos stan hits a home run there, it's a

1007
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 3: guaranteed that would have been a one run deficit.

1008
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: Correct if Mike Standon hit home run, Yeah, because that

1009
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: was that did put this down one No, that's tied

1010
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: the game up, so ok, yeah, the.

1011
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: Tide the game. So that's what I'm saying.

1012
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: I don't want to put the winning run on base

1013
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: with Brad Hand on the mount. Get you, Joey Gallow

1014
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: can't come up with a chance to be leading as

1015
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 3: long as it could only be a tie, Like, I

1016
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: don't want to give the Yankees bas runners with these

1017
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: power hitters, even though Joey Gallow is supremely worse than

1018
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,479
Speaker 3: Mike Stanon right now, supremely And you want the lefty

1019
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 3: lefty match with Brad Hand, Joey.

1020
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: Gallow, I think that is two. I think that's flying

1021
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: too close.

1022
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: To the sun for me.

1023
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: Well, I think anytime you put brad Hand into the

1024
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: game right now, it's flying too close to anything. I mean,

1025
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: he's just so not good. I don't know what it's

1026
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: gonna take for people to start realizing this. But if

1027
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: you watch him play, you dive deeper into the numbers.

1028
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: You'll look at you look at everything about brad Hand

1029
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: right now, and you go, this guy stinks. He's horrible,

1030
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: and I can't believe. I can't believe he's being used

1031
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: in high leverage situations after the Blue Jays, who need

1032
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: all the bullpen up in the world, said nope, we

1033
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: don't want you. Smellulator, get out of Canada, don't come

1034
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: back to this country.

1035
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: I just more breaking news. Tim Ryder's really going through.

1036
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: We got a lot of whistles from last few weeks,

1037
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: from the last few weeks, A lot of whistles here,

1038
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: Tim Ryder, Baby, let's go Oriel series Toronto series.

1039
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: Of course, these raw games, the Yankees wind up losing,

1040
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: so whistles clearly are not helping very much. But the

1041
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 3: Yankees have been, I'll say it, cheating. Yankees have been

1042
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 3: cheating a breakdown.

1043
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: A breakdown I'm really interested to see. I mean, just

1044
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: to get a little on a tangent here, just to

1045
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: stir the pod a little bit more if we do

1046
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: have any Yankee listeners, and I hope someone clips this

1047
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: and tweets it. But remember when the astrois Chief scandal

1048
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: thing happened, and there was that mysterious camera in center

1049
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: field that was found for the New York Yankees, and

1050
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: that somehow got put under the radar. And then there's

1051
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: all those court documents that aren't allowed to be released

1052
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: to the public that everyone's trying to get released, and

1053
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: the Court's like, Eh, we can't say it. We're not

1054
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: saying that there anything is bad in here, but we're

1055
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: not saying that there is something does not adden up here.

1056
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: The Yankees' hands feel a little dirty.

1057
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 3: Right now, especially when you look at the way DJ

1058
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 3: lem Meyhew played between what was the first year the

1059
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: Yankees twenty nineteen direct.

1060
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: Especially when you look at the way he played Giovanni Orchello,

1061
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: who was a lifetime scrub before coming to the New

1062
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: York Yankees.

1063
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: Specifically, DJ lem Meyhew between is last year with the

1064
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: Rockies his first year with the Yankees, he cut his

1065
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 3: whiff rate on breaking balls by like fifty percent, if

1066
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: not more than that. So that was just a little

1067
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 3: stat that kept in the back of my mind for

1068
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 3: a few years, just in case something like this ever

1069
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: would have possibly come up, and.

1070
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 2: It looks like it might looks like it might be great.

1071
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: It'd be great to hear that they were cheating and

1072
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: still couldn't fucking win anything. That'd be so sick.

1073
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 3: So why the Yankee fans woud give over the fucking

1074
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 3: alcs that they had no business even winning anyway?

1075
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not whatever Past that pack or past that part.

1076
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about stant and running the bases, because

1077
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: he took about as long as humanly possible, and he

1078
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: started chirping with Hobby, started chirping with Lindor while the

1079
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: teams had to be separated and the benches cleared. There

1080
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: was no real scuffle, There was no real anything besides

1081
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: a lot of jawing back and forth. But it's interesting

1082
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: because our favorite Brett Gardner, that fucking moron is at

1083
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: third base. Give the thumbs down sign, played the Curb

1084
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: your Enthusiasm music, because uh yeah, that the game just

1085
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: turned right after that, immediately turned right back in the

1086
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: Mets favor. I don't think there's really much else to

1087
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: talk about besides that Francisco Lindoor in his third freaking

1088
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: home run of the game a nook. He crushed it,

1089
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: absolutely destroyed it. We didn't see it land.

1090
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 3: I literally couldn't believe it. Like this set the whole

1091
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: world off fire.

1092
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: It was I felt like I was just like I

1093
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: floated out of my seat. I ascended.

1094
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god.

1095
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: People were coming out of the woodwork to to say

1096
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: that Francisco Indor is a gret player, people who have

1097
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 3: been hating his guts all season long. And we'll get

1098
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: some more of this for our bad take.

1099
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: Of the week, but I want to because we remember

1100
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: who you are.

1101
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we keep proceeds.

1102
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 3: I'm very aware of all these fucking asshole the moncoloids

1103
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: of the world. But did you hear the Spanish call

1104
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 3: of this home run?

1105
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: I did not.

1106
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: It's fucking incredible.

1107
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to send me that on Twitter. I'm

1108
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: gonna have to give that a listen because I love

1109
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: one like the Spanish announcing And did he say I

1110
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: still love East baby? Oh that's so awesome, awesome. Wait

1111
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: was it the ESPN guy? Yeah, ESPN's Banish. Did he

1112
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: do that?

1113
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: I think he did?

1114
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: Oh that's electric. I got goosebumps right now.

1115
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 3: It was incredible, But again, third home run, second Met

1116
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: short stop to ever have three home runs.

1117
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 2: Jose Race was the other one.

1118
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: He did it on a nice, beautiful evening Insistens Bank

1119
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: Park in two thousand and six.

1120
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: I remember like it was yesterday.

1121
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 3: First Met ever to have three home runs in the

1122
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 3: Subway Series game, which I was honestly pretty surprised about,

1123
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 3: and the eleventh Met ever to have a home run

1124
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 3: from both sides of the plate.

1125
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: Just putting his stamp on his standing.

1126
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 2: As the face of this franchise.

1127
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people all year have been upset

1128
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: with his performance, have been set with upset with what

1129
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: he's doing. You've got some numbers for us. I saw

1130
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: these on Twitter earlier. Francisco Lindoor basically had about the

1131
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 1: worst two months you could ever have to start a season.

1132
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: But since June first, this guy has been exactly what

1133
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: we expected. He has been really freaking good.

1134
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: I would say, like arguably better than what we expected.

1135
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 3: And I picked the date June first, not by accident.

1136
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: It is because on June first, we're gonna move into

1137
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 3: our bad take of the week.

1138
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: Right now, we're doing We're doing Game three.

1139
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Mets when Edwin Diaz sealed the deal. He

1140
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: made it really interesting, but he got the job done.

1141
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: John Carlo Stanton, he gave me a little World Baseball

1142
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: Classic vibes. I'm gonna say and you knew I was

1143
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna say it. You were ready for this.

1144
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: I didn't even think you're gonna say that.

1145
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: No. I mean, he just came out and he was like,

1146
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw one hundred miles an hour down your

1147
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: throat and you're gonna beat me on my one hundred

1148
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: mile per hour fastball. And John Carlo took some war

1149
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 1: hacks and it was terrifying because when you see someone

1150
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: like John Carlo Stanton hit a foul ball like directly

1151
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: behind him, You're like, oh, he knows what's happening. He's

1152
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: just missing it. And luckily he got it inside enough.

1153
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: Jam don't pop up till Francisco Indoor. Mets win the game,

1154
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: Mets win the series, knock the Yankees out of the playoffs.

1155
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: As of right now, and the Mets are slowly building

1156
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: their way back towards maybe a little bit of a

1157
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: playoff run. Here. We are actually closer than the Wild

1158
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: Card than we are in the NL East. We're three

1159
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: and a half back in the wild card five in

1160
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: the NL East. So it looks like right now the

1161
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: wildcard might be our best shot, might be our best chance.

1162
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,479
Speaker 1: The best shot for the message is win the games.

1163
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: That's what I was about to say. Yes, we just

1164
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: have to be worried about winning, and if listen, if

1165
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: we win, I think we have what sixteen games left

1166
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: in the season, sixteen seventeen. If we win fifteen of

1167
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: those and we lose and we don't make the playoffs, damn,

1168
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: we got fucked. I don't know what to tell. You

1169
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: win them all, then we can't complain.

1170
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: That's pretty high praise there.

1171
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 3: I wanted to let all the listeners know that the

1172
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 3: Mets lead the National League and run score in September.

1173
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: That's hilarious, super fun considering we played the Marlins at

1174
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: September and I was ready to jump off the roof

1175
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: of my building.

1176
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: That was the last episode.

1177
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, it was literally the last time we spoke.

1178
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 2: But Mets have juice.

1179
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 3: Things are happening, and I wanted to transition this into

1180
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: our bad take of the week. It's been a very

1181
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: long time since we did this because we've just been

1182
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: like kind of like overarching bad takes like telling people

1183
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 3: who are stupid, like to their faces, like through a microphone,

1184
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 3: of course, not actually to their faces. But this is

1185
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: the first time we're gonet very specific with it because

1186
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindoor has finally flipped a narrative on his season,

1187
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: in my opinion, and reminded everybody that he was one

1188
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 3: of the best players in baseball. And I know menu

1189
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 3: of you think that I'm gonna talk about Salakada for

1190
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 3: this bad take, because he had one of the worst

1191
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 3: takes I've ever seen. I'm gonna say it right now.

1192
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 3: Maybe it's me, but if my team was toast, large

1193
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 3: part because of my failures, I would keep my head down,

1194
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: mouth shut, and just round the bases. I love the passion,

1195
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 3: I like the fight. But outside at de Gram no

1196
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 3: one on the Mets can talk smack, especially to the Yankees.

1197
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 3: Why especially to the Yankees.

1198
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: The Yankees haven't done anything in the last ten years.

1199
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: The Yankees have been somewhat irrelevant outside the fact that

1200
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: they are the New York Yankees and they get clicks

1201
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: and they're the most popular team in the world. They

1202
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: haven't done shit. Especially the guys who are on this

1203
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: Yankees team have really done nothing. No one's from that

1204
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: on nine team besides Brett Gardner.

1205
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 3: Literally and again, I want to give Salakata his due

1206
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 3: credits for having one of the worst takes of the season.

1207
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 3: He's the leader of the Mongoloid Nation. He's a Willpond schill.

1208
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 3: He is one of the experts in this field of

1209
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 3: bad takes. Few people are better than Salakata, even at

1210
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 3: just having a name that sounds like like Regartta that's

1211
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: gone bad. Salakata sounds like awful cheese dripping off a spoon.

1212
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: I do gotta say it is pretty impressive. How like

1213
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: someone who just like really doesn't know anything about any

1214
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 1: sport whatsoever and talks about all of them like he does,

1215
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: continuously gets these jobs. I don't know how he does.

1216
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 3: I give Salakada all the credit in the world. To

1217
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 3: be this successful of a con man, you have to

1218
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 3: be talented, and he is.

1219
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 2: He's very good at his ruse.

1220
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 3: But I want to bring this attention back to the

1221
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 3: Washington Post because on June first of this year, twenty

1222
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 3: twenty one, Neil Greenberg, some fucking stupid loser, wrote an

1223
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 3: article that said Francisco Lindor was done.

1224
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: They said his career was over.

1225
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: This was probably the worst article ever written by like

1226
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: legitimately respected publication.

1227
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 2: Again, this is on June first.

1228
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 3: I want to bring everyone through the idiot translations that

1229
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 3: Neil Greenberg said to try and actually make himself sound

1230
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: like he knows about baseball. He said that Francisco Lindoor

1231
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: was creating runs at a rate that was sixteen percent

1232
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 3: lower than the league average after accounting for league and

1233
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: park effects. That directly translates to WRC plus for the

1234
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 3: listeners at home. He said that Francisco Lindoor was making

1235
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 3: an out seventy six percent of the time on balls

1236
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 3: and play. That's your babbib, he said, outrate. That means

1237
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 3: he's a fucking moron.

1238
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: He said.

1239
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindoor had three seasons of decline. That was two

1240
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 3: hundred and forty nine games at the time, a full

1241
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 3: season twenty nineteen, fifty games in twenty twenty and two

1242
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 3: months of baseball in twenty twenty one. Three seasons apparently

1243
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 3: two or three night games.

1244
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: By the way, this is not just a what's his

1245
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: name Neil Greenberg?

1246
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: Neil Greenberg.

1247
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: This is not Neil Greenberg thing. This is everybody on

1248
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: Twitter thing he's been bad for the last three years.

1249
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think you know how many games

1250
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: are in a baseball season, apparently, but.

1251
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 2: There are some more Neil Greenberk things.

1252
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 3: Because he called one of he said a batting average

1253
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 3: that we would expect, which directly translates to expected batting average.

1254
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 3: This guy plagiarized Francisco Lindora's Baseball savant profile and used

1255
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 3: the most stupid words in the world to try and

1256
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 3: hill word count for his stupid Washington Post editors.

1257
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: He's fucking so dumb.

1258
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 3: The worst part is that he compared Francisco Lindor's slide

1259
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 3: to Chris Davis.

1260
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: Who is I think undoubtedly the worst baseball player to

1261
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: come across the league in quite some time, in like

1262
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: this weird little time where he actually forgot how to

1263
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: play baseball, which included like an oh for sixty stretch

1264
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: for whatever he had, which doesn't even sound real. Disrespectful,

1265
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: unbelievably disrespectful to a guy like Francisco Lindor to compare

1266
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: him to Chris Davis.

1267
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 2: But he didn't even compare him directly.

1268
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 3: He compared him in a way that showed Chris Davis

1269
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 3: was better, and here's the quote. Whether Lindor can revert

1270
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 3: this trend remains to be seen. But there has been

1271
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 3: just one player, Chris Davis from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty,

1272
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 3: who saw a decline and barrel rate for three straight

1273
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 3: seasons while still qualifying for the batting title and stop

1274
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 3: that slide in the year four. Davis's drop off, however,

1275
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 3: was from seventeen percent to ten percent. The ladder mark

1276
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 3: is a higher bower rate than Lindor at his peak.

1277
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 3: So he said that Chris Davis is the only player

1278
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 3: to rebound from a slide like this in between the

1279
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 3: years of twenty fifteen twenty twenty. I can't even begin

1280
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 3: to comprehend or describe how stupid this article was. It's

1281
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 3: the Billy Madison quote. You have made everyone here dumber

1282
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 3: for having heard this.

1283
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's shocking. I remember you talking about it. Obviously,

1284
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: it feels like a year ago, because June first, I

1285
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: mean I could have been fifteen years old at that point.

1286
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't remember how long ago that was. But even

1287
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: when you told me you're like or Neil Greenberg, I

1288
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: don't why I'm calling him Evan Greenberg. I think I'm

1289
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: combined with him Evan Roberts, who's also part of our

1290
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: nation over here that we don't like. But I was like,

1291
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: didn't you talk about this guy's article already? You're like, oh,

1292
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: I'm going back to it. It's time. It's time to

1293
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: have receipts one hundred percent.

1294
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 3: But I want to also create the distinction that Neil

1295
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 3: Greenberg is not the same type of mongoloid as Evan

1296
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 3: Roberts in Salakata. He is like a special mongoloid. He's

1297
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 3: a mongoloi who thinks he's very smart. Lakata and Roberts

1298
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: understand their place as mongoloid's and they are very successful

1299
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 3: in that field. They're two high earning mongoloids. They're a

1300
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 3: great mongoloid lifestyle. Neil Greenberg believes he's smart, he's a

1301
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 3: secret mongoloid and since this stupid article on June first,

1302
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindoor has played in sixty one games.

1303
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 2: He has a two fifty.

1304
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 3: Four three forty four four ninety eight slash really good,

1305
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 3: thirteen home runs, forty two RBIs, a forty two runs scored,

1306
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 3: forty one RBIs, six dolen bases, eleven percent walk rate,

1307
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: eighteen percent strikeout.

1308
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: Rate, and a one to twenty nine WRC.

1309
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: Plus, not to mention plays stellar defense.

1310
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 3: He's really fucking good. He's a really good baseball can't

1311
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 3: reiterate this enough. And with him playing like this, and

1312
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 3: Hobby bye is playing like this, and most of our

1313
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 3: rotation pitching well and not having Jerlikoff on the mound,

1314
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 3: let's go on a fucking run.

1315
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: It's time.

1316
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: A healthy New York Mets team with Hobby Bias and

1317
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: Prancisco Lindoor playing like they have and playing like they

1318
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: should be is scary. I don't think you could have

1319
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: said it any better. I mean I literally just repeated

1320
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: what you said for a reason. That is a scary,

1321
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: scary combination. Now, the Mets are gonna have to go

1322
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: on quite a run. They're gonna have to do a lot,

1323
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: But they have a chance to help themselves right now

1324
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 1: in this next series, going up against the Saint Louis Cardinals,

1325
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: Who's a team who's directly above them right now. And

1326
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: we've been saying it all year long, the Cardinals teams

1327
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: just not that good. This is a very beatable team,

1328
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: and I think the Mets should beat them.

1329
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 3: I think so too, and we had a tough series

1330
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 3: in Saint Louis Beck in May, the series that got

1331
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: Chili Davis fired, and you just play. This team is

1332
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 3: really fucking annoying because their pitchers aren't very good. Most

1333
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: of their lineup is not very good. They have tons

1334
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: of star power with Arnado and Goldschmid. Tyler O'Neill's turning

1335
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 3: into a very good player. I think dyl Carlson will

1336
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 3: be as well. But there's no reason not to beat

1337
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 3: this team, especially because they have disarranged their bullpen right

1338
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 3: now between Alex ray Is forgetting how to get guys

1339
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 3: out and Givonni Gaego is just struggling relatively to how

1340
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 3: he usually is.

1341
00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit.

1342
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: Well, he got the guy who remember earlier in the

1343
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: year they made him change his hat shilt, Yeah, and

1344
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: sheilt freaked out. He was like, all right, he can't

1345
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: have suntan lotion on there. Turns out Giovanni Gayegos doesn't

1346
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: really know how to pitch without that suntan lotion.

1347
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 3: It looks like he's still fine. He's just like not

1348
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 3: as good. He's a guy with the IRA that starts

1349
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 3: with three rather than like a two two. Yeah, but

1350
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 3: he doesn't scare me out of the bullpen.

1351
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: No, no, he's still good. I'm sure I get some

1352
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 2: key aps this series.

1353
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 3: But for the pitching matchups this week, we have the

1354
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 3: AARP Bowl tonight between Rich Hill and Adam Waynwright, which

1355
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 3: seeing Adam Wayne Wright.

1356
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 2: And cydey Field tonight is gonna send me to a

1357
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: different dimension.

1358
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: Just please, for the love of God, I need this

1359
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: for my own personal brand. I need Adam Waynwright to

1360
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: not pitch an eightitning complete game or nine in complete

1361
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 1: game shutout tonight because I've been saying all year long

1362
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: that he's just not really that good, like he's like

1363
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: fake good, like yeah RRA and stuff is like low.

1364
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: But he's by no means Gary's been doing this a lot.

1365
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: He's like he's in the cy Young conversations, like he's

1366
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: not let's let's stop that. Like he's as much in

1367
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: the conversation as Marcus Struman.

1368
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 3: I'll hear an argument for Wayne right, and so he's

1369
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 3: striking out more guys than he ever has in his career.

1370
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: But he is he better than the guys?

1371
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no four Like clear in the nast in

1372
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: the conversation doesn't mean like in the top three. I

1373
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 3: think Wayne Wright's probably gonna come in like seventh. He'll

1374
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 3: get down ballot votes, probably very some of the Marcus

1375
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 3: stroman but the past that we do a Marcus strom

1376
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,479
Speaker 3: pitching on Tuesday against Jake Woodford, who we better.

1377
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 2: We better hit that guy.

1378
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: And on Wednesday it's gonna be a hilarious matchup between

1379
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill and John Lester. Oh my god, I hope

1380
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 3: those two shake each other's hand before the game. I

1381
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 3: would love Tyler gill learn a thing or two of

1382
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 3: that from John Lester.

1383
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Cardinals did that interesting thing where they didn't

1384
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: go for it at the deadline and somehow paid off.

1385
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: They were traded for John Lester and Jay hap who

1386
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: are two not very good pitchers anymore. Really, yeah, he

1387
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: has I mean, get Jay Happ back in the National

1388
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: League in a big ballpark like Busch Stadium, and you

1389
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: you could find a.

1390
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: Way to be successful.

1391
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: Give up some deep fly balls and like he would

1392
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: like only one year ago, Jay Happ was formidable. I

1393
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: just I feel like if you're a fan of your

1394
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: baseball team, I feel like Cardinals fans would admit this too.

1395
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: You couldn't have been happy when you're like, oh, we're

1396
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: maybe could fight for a playoff spot. Who we get

1397
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: John Lester and Jay Happ to add to Kwang Young

1398
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: Kim and Adam Wayne Wright, all guys with exactly the

1399
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: same But it's been working recently. They've been playing some

1400
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: good baseball.

1401
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 3: Before Jig Woodford came back from injury and rejoined this rotation.

1402
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 3: Jay Happ had the hardest average fastball philosophy in this rotation.

1403
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 3: I think I dropped that like a month ago, but

1404
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 3: I just want to remind everyone.

1405
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: Because of how ridiculous that sentences ninety one about ninety

1406
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: and a half God, which which as we know, is

1407
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: the kryptonite of the New York mess. We got a

1408
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: lot of soft Austars this series. I just thought about that.

1409
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about John Lester and Wednesday

1410
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: evening he's coming in throwing eighty six. That's gonna be

1411
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to hit. Didn't we have John

1412
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: Lester bet this year?

1413
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 2: Maybe it could be someone else, could be someone else.

1414
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 3: I'll check my receiats later, But before we finished this preview,

1415
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 3: I have a really fun stat about tonight's matchup Chrissy

1416
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 3: of Sarah Langs slangs on sports on Twitter, great follow.

1417
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: I think she's like one of the best baseball Twitter personalities.

1418
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 3: Right now, Richell and Adam Win, Right, we'll start against

1419
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 3: each other tonight for the first time since May second,

1420
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight. That's four eight hundred and eighty

1421
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 3: two days in between matchups.

1422
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 2: We were twelve, twelve, and that's not even the longest

1423
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: of all time. That's the third longest.

1424
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: All right, what are what's the longest?

1425
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 2: The longest? All right? Here're the two longest.

1426
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 3: Second longest John Smalton Greg Maddox between July tenth, nineteen

1427
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 3: ninety two and May ninth, two thousand and seven. Yep,

1428
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 3: and the longest over one thousand days longer, six four

1429
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty nine days between matchups Jamie Moore versus

1430
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 3: Randy Johnson between September twenty first, nineteen eighty nine, the.

1431
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: Eighties, oh my god, and crazy enough, May ninth, two

1432
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, the same day that John Smalton Greg

1433
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: maddicks faced each other. So the two longest stretches between

1434
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: starting pitchers facing each other ended on the same day

1435
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: when we were twelve. Baseball does some weird shit man

1436
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: baseball will have like those weird Quince's coincidences, weird stats,

1437
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: weird stories. This is going to be, uh hopefully an

1438
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: exciting game to watch for as a Mets fan. Hopefully

1439
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of runs. Hopefully we smack around Adam Waynwright,

1440
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: as we know he kind of owns us He's We're

1441
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: kinda just can't get over that Adam Waynewright hill. But

1442
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: there's no reason we shouldn't be able to hit him

1443
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: the way that we've been swinging the bat recently, with

1444
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: Lindor being hot coming off the best game of his

1445
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: New York Mets career, with Hovey being hot, Pete was

1446
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: hot before swinging the bat. Well, there's a way that

1447
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: this Mets team can definitely take this series. It shouldn't

1448
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: be too difficult. That being said, we know how the

1449
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: season's gone, We know that the Cardinals are playing good baseball.

1450
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: If the Mets want to continue on this playoff push,

1451
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: on this playoff path, you gotta take two of three

1452
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: from Saint Louis.

1453
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 3: I was about to say, you probably have to sweep.

1454
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit worried about the night's game, just

1455
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 3: because again Wayne Wright but the Mets have been so

1456
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 3: good at home is ye, and so bad on the

1457
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 3: road that they really have to take advantage of this

1458
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 3: nine game Homestand the Mets are forty three and twenty

1459
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: eight this year at home and twenty nine and forty four.

1460
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 2: Away from it. Wow, massive difference.

1461
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 3: The only team I'm not doing any math right now,

1462
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 3: but the only team I could see with that big

1463
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 3: of a difference in win percentage, just again from the

1464
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 3: E test is the White Sox, who are twenty three

1465
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 3: games over five hundred at home and two under on

1466
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 3: the road.

1467
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: And the Rockies.

1468
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: But I've talked about that a lot in the show.

1469
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: The Rockies just cannot lose at home and they cannot

1470
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: win the road. No, they refuse, although they have been

1471
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: helping us out beating the Phillies round, which was yeah.

1472
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 3: But again we have a nine game homestand here just

1473
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 3: to carry the Now we have the Cardinals in the Phillies,

1474
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 3: the two teams directly ahead of us in the wildcard race,

1475
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 3: at home, with a healthy pitching staff and a lineup

1476
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 3: that's blazing hot, and we have to take advantage.

1477
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 2: This is it. Put up a shut up time.

1478
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: This is the week. This is the week. This is

1479
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,959
Speaker 1: the one that can make or break the season. Right now,

1480
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: win the series, win one game at a time, come

1481
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 1: out swinging the basketball, play good baseball. Can't be upset.

1482
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: The Mets somehow talked me off the ledge, because of

1483
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: course they did. I was done after the Marlin series.

1484
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: I was ready to throw in the towel. I did,

1485
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: and they just pulled me the fuck back in. You

1486
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna enjoy it. I'm gonna watch these games.

1487
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a nice beer. I'm gonna be happy.

1488
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, hey, we're getting meaningful games in September.

1489
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: This isn't what I hoped for, but I will take

1490
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 1: it based on what we had been seeing and again,

1491
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: just enjoy baseball. Enjoy it. We're trying to keep it

1492
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: positive here now on the Mets the Podcast, as we

1493
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: have all season long. You got one super super negative episode.

1494
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 2: We had one tantrum.

1495
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: It happens, has to happen. We were due. It was

1496
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: a boiling point. We lost the fucking Marlins, and we

1497
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: lost in spectacular fashion. I mean, plus brad Han pitching

1498
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: brad Hand. Anytime that guy comes on the mound, I

1499
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: will say this. I will not be pleased any time

1500
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: he comes out onto the mount. Thank God that if

1501
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: there is a world where the Mets make the playoffs,

1502
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: brad Hand physically can't be on the roster. That's one

1503
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 1: positive to take.

1504
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,720
Speaker 2: I just think I get this guy off the team. No,

1505
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 2: no ifans or butts.

1506
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: No ifans are butts and rojas, please, for the love

1507
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: of God, because I think he makes the bullpen decisions.

1508
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: I do.

1509
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you can't have that come from the GM.

1510
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 2: No, no doubt.

1511
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: Stop going to him. Stop going to him in games

1512
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: that we're winning, if we're down four, Let brad han

1513
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: pitch five, let his arm fall off. Don't care about

1514
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: the health of his left arm at all.

1515
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 2: I could not care less about the rest of Bradhand's career.

1516
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: And you know what, brad Hand, he kind of needs

1517
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: it to Maybe that might be the best way for

1518
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: him to maybe get a little check to walk away

1519
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: from baseball. But my god, stop using him in games

1520
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: where we're winning and it's close late in games. I

1521
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: can't handle it. I can't I can't do it. So yeah, guys,
