1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: What Is Up?

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Up Podcast. Finish the Home and Home with the Philadelphia Phillies,

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: and it was terrible. It was awful. It could have

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: been worse, and honestly, I'm even I'm like, I'm in

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: such a weird spot with this team. I wanted to

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 2: come on and scream and yell, but I can't really

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: do that because they won the last game. So I'm

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: almost mad at them because I don't even get to

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: get it out. I want to just spew nonsense to

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: you guys, but they won the last game, so it

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: kind of comedy down a little bit. And the Rangers

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 2: one end, we got a big game for the next

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: coming up this week. Those are the bigger games going

15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: on right now. But of course we are going to

16
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: talk about everything that happened in this series, all the

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: stuff going on in Mets world. Uncle Stevie had a

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: tweet that was deleted and is the talk of the

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: town because if you like to read the tea leaves,

20
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: you might be able to read a little bit into

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: what Steve Cohen's talking about there. But yeah, you guys

Speaker 2: So if you ever want to be involved, there's your chance.

33
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: All right, James got the Rangers jersey on. The Mets

34
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: get a win. It's a big night for New York.

35
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: How are we feeling?

36
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: Rangers game was so incredible. I know it's probably not

37
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: the most crossover Mets and Rangers fans out there. I

38
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: think it's probably more Mets Islanders significantly, even probably smathering

39
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: ofo Mets Devils. But everything else going on New York

40
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: sports are now is incredible. I mean, get jealous of

41
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: the Yankees. They're having a magical start to the season,

42
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: but Nicks and Rangers simultaneously. Rangers moving out to the

43
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference Finals, Nicks hold our heart in their hands

44
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: on Friday Night. But big Mets series, talk about it's

45
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: been a long time since we talked about you guys,

46
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: and feel like a lot has happened just because of

47
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: how hectic and chaotic a four game series with your

48
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: biggest rival is moving cities midway through it. I was

49
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: even in the house on Monday night, and if that

50
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: feels like a lifetime would go in of itself. Also, guys,

51
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: this episode, we're just there's so much Mets to talk about.

52
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna skip the Prospect Report for a week. The

53
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: original plan that I rolled up was to like, because

54
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: we get the Prospect Report just doing the same thing

55
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: every week, I was gonna talk about struggling prospects. Thought

56
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: that was a little too much misery for this episode.

57
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: So we're just gonna keep it to the major league

58
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: team for this week. Gonna come back with a big, juicy,

59
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 3: beefy prospect report next week. Of course, have a little

60
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: nuggets on of the share with you guys here at

61
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: the end, but we won't keep everything on the field

62
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: because there's just there's concerns growing with this Mets team.

63
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: They still fought in every single game. They truthfully had

64
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: a chance to win all four games of this series

65
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: and it wouldn't have been us, even though they got

66
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 3: that got beat pretty badly on Wednesday, Like there were

67
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: opportunities early in a game to blow the open against

68
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: Regis War is just lack of execution, Like that's really it.

69
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: Lack of execution, just guys who are not playing up

70
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: to the standard that us or they expect.

71
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just really frustrating watching this team. And like

72
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: I again, I wanted to come on and scream and

73
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: yell about how this team is a bunch of losers

74
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: and they suck and this and that, and then like

75
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: they they end up like scrapping out this win where

76
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz was rough in this series Blue two games,

77
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: Blue game four again, but then they picked him up,

78
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: And that's the kind of stuff that I'm like, fuck,

79
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: like damn it, Like that's what good teams do. Good

80
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: teams pick up each other's players. And like Lindor was horrendous,

81
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: horrendous this series. I think he was over fifteen or

82
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: over sixteen the entire series. Peter A. Lonzo has been

83
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: swinging the bat well. I got a home run this one.

84
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Brett Batty had a nice double in the game, Jadie

85
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: Martinez swinging the bat well like there's things that are

86
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: going right, but it does feel like nothing's going right

87
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: at the same time. I don't know if that makes sense.

88
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: I tweeted out after the first Edwin Diaz saved that

89
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: he blew in Game one. I was so negative that day.

90
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: It was crazy. I couldn't believe how awful I felt

91
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: watching this game. But I was, like, the Mets are

92
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: gonna knock years off of my life. Mets pitching has

93
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: been great, every other aspect of this team has been

94
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: disrespectfully bad. Hard to watch this team play right now,

95
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: and then talked about some other stuff that will bring

96
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: up later on in the podcast. But like they really

97
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: take take everything away from whether or not you think

98
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: this team is good, whether you think this team is bad.

99
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: They don't play enjoyable baseball to watch. Not a fun

100
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: team to watch play every single night. It is agonizing

101
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: to watch this team play at times.

102
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: It's not really a fun team to watch. It's kind

103
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: of boring ish baseball at times, Like most of the

104
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: pitchers in the rotation kind of just throw like loopy curveballs.

105
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: In ninety three Miles an hour and just try to

106
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: nibble around the edges of the strike zone. The Lukes

107
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 3: start was like exactly Lucas start you expect on Wednesday,

108
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: Kintana on Thursday. Mendoza just keeps leaving these guys in

109
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: for the third time to the oiler, and I get

110
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: that the bullpen is strapped. Not that many guys in

111
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: rotation go deep into games, but it's just it's like

112
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: clockwork every single time. But these guys get the third

113
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: time around the oiler, the other team starts to hit

114
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: them immediately the next inning. So it's just like maybe

115
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: one time, just don't let that happen first, like be

116
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: proactivist to the reactive. It's just it's so block and

117
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: especially like this is for some reason, Pee Lins over

118
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: Cisco Indor can't hit well at the same time. I

119
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: don't know how the second that Pete started hitting, Francisco

120
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: Indor just went cold again, just totally stop his batting.

121
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: Averages drop back under two hundred. The Lindorks are back

122
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: in full force online like it's an absolute onslaught right now.

123
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: It's hard.

124
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: It's hard to play defense ever sing guy in this

125
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: team at once. It's hard to be like Edwin Diaz

126
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: is still good, but he's not the best, believe of anymore,

127
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: and he went through an unbelievably serious injury like a

128
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: year and a half ago, so it's still probably it's

129
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: just so it's just they can't just put it together.

130
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: They can't melt, they can't blend. It seems like rather

131
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: than like, I don't know, I don't want to say

132
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: enough fighting through, because they are fighting through, but there's

133
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: just always been this overwhelming idea for this team, going

134
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: back to last year, that it's like, we're not gonna

135
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: let this happen. We know we're better than this, and

136
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: it just seems like now if you look back at

137
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: the last five years of the Mets, like the one

138
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: good year is the aperration for this core, not they

139
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: the four bad ones. Like Mendoza had a quote like,

140
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: you know, when we get hot, it's gonna be really scary,

141
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: and so I think Martell or Lindora Mendoza said something else.

142
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: They were like, you know, we're not gonna let what

143
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: happened last year happened again, Like we're too good for that.

144
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: It's like, I mean, maybe maybe a little too good

145
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: for that, but it's just like there it's there's like this,

146
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: there's like this reserve confidence that it's nice, it's objectively good,

147
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: but it's not. It wasn't totally earned. It's like there's

148
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: this revenance right now, like we know we're better than this.

149
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: It's like the Astros will say that because they have

150
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: won what three out of five, three out of seven championships,

151
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 3: and like it's just it's just different. Even the Rays,

152
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: the team that's been over five hundred for I think

153
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: six years in a row now, but like this Mets

154
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: core that has had again, these are good players and

155
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: they have had success, but there's been one winning season

156
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: in four years. Twenty team was a winning season. I

157
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: forget that, but it was like a winning season. I

158
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: still didn't even reach the playoffs. But in five full season,

159
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: you know, over five hundred twice, you made the playoffs

160
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: once and it's like there's this unshakable confidence for some reason,

161
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: but it's never it hasn't been born out in the

162
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: field yet.

163
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: This year. Yeah, the Mets the way I think I've

164
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: said this on the podcast before, but the Mets don't

165
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: go out and get it. The Mets like play baseball

166
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: and hope the good things happen. Rather than make the

167
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: good things happen. And I felt it like I was

168
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: so pumped with the Rangers game tonight that was so

169
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: awesome that made me not want to start like just

170
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: screaming and yelling at the TV about the Mets because

171
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: the Rangers come back was incredible. But Chris Krider and

172
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: I think you told me this off the podcast before,

173
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: apparently after this second period and it went into the

174
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: locker room, was like, I'm getting one next period. I

175
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: don't care someone else has to get one too, like

176
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: someone else has to step up. I'm getting one. And

177
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: then he had a hat trick in the third period,

178
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: scored all scored three goals in the third period. He

179
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: went out and got that. And I know hockey is

180
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: different than baseball. You can't make an impact because you

181
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: only have your at bats a certain amount of time

182
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: as a game, and you can only make so many

183
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: plays because the balls are hit to you or you're

184
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: pitching whatever it is. But there's just it doesn't feel

185
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: like there's anybody on the Mets that's like, fuck you,

186
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: I'm going out. I'm better than you. Were missing that edge.

187
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: And this is something we've talked about forever. We have

188
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: missed an edge on this New York Mets team. There's

189
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: nobody that's a fuck you guy. There's nobody that's a

190
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm a better than you guy. It's a lot of

191
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: we'll figure it out, things will be okay. Fuck that,

192
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: go out and be better. It's so frustrating, Like the

193
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: juxtaposition of celebrating Chris Krider scoring those goals and being

194
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: the fucking dog that he was and being like that

195
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: dude's single handedly put the Rangers on his back and

196
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: won that game for them to go to the Eastern

197
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: Conference Finals, while also me being like, god damn it,

198
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: the Mets don't have a single guy like this on

199
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: the roster. That frustrates the hell out of me.

200
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: Crowder is also it's like he's an all time Ranger,

201
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: Like his number will be retired.

202
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: No one's gonna wear at number twenty.

203
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: Ever.

204
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: Again, it's gonna be in a Madter Square garden the

205
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: rest of our lives. But it is different. Again, it's

206
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: a different sport. But I almost feel like sometimes the

207
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: way the Mets players and Mendoza talk after game, it's

208
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: almost the way you'd expect front office.

209
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: People to speak, yes, being like we know We're better

210
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: than this. Our process is there? Yeah, pr people, I

211
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: mean again, and this another thing that comes back to

212
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: this organization. It's just like there's so much an an

213
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: imputus on marketing.

214
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 3: I was at the game on Monday night and the

215
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: vibes are not good in the city fields, similar to Saturday.

216
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: It's it's crazy, but the Pete leaked contract has kind

217
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: of turned the tides a little bit in the way,

218
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: especially the way again he's been really good the last

219
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: few weeks now, but kind of turning the tides away

220
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: a little bit on the way that he hit.

221
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: This is the way he's being viewed this season.

222
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: And I even could see it in the first like

223
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: very obvious way again in the stadium Saturday Monday, felt

224
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: that people were hackling him like a lot habitually. But

225
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: tonight tweet it like Pete's been blazing hot for like

226
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: a week now again he's about to go.

227
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: He's back. Don't love him in the two hole, by

228
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 2: the way, I love him in the two hole. He's

229
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: about to go. One of the p nuclear streaks.

230
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: And all of the responses to this tweet that I

231
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: didn't retweet, you didn't retweet either, right, which one, the

232
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: don't let Pilanza get hot.

233
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: No, I didn't do anything.

234
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: So every single response it was, don't let Pilansa get hot.

235
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 3: Don't worry, nobody will lol Lol, he's real scary. Put

236
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 3: the team on his back and keep you guys in

237
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: fourth place.

238
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: Trade him? Now? Why not? He's not that good.

239
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: Nobody's worried about him getting hot. I don't have to worry.

240
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: He's sporadic at best. These tweets won't age. Well, don't worry,

241
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: he won't Dave Kingman, Okay, is he even going to

242
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: hit two forty this month?

243
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: That would be a hot month for him. Two for

244
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: these major league league average batting average, it's actually high

245
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: than If there's anything guys, please and I'm ninety nine

246
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: percent sure everybody who listens to this understands, but like,

247
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: if there's anything you'll ever take from us, please stop

248
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: with the batting average shit. It does not fucking matter

249
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: at all.

250
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: I just it's it's it's crazy to me how much

251
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: this Tide has turned out Pilanzo. Once that contract got

252
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: leaked and the fact he's had he had like four

253
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: pretty bad weeks.

254
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: I've done a three sixty. The whole contract thing with Pete.

255
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: I actually think I can rationalize why he said no.

256
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: I think it's stupid. I think it might be a

257
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: little bit of Boris getting his little meaty clause all

258
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: over this as well. But I can tell, like, for me,

259
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: Pete saying no is not because Pete doesn't want to

260
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: be in New York ready for this spin zone. Pete

261
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: says no because he wants to be in New York.

262
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: And the reason being is that the seven year contract

263
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: gives him to like thirty seven, meaning that he's gonna

264
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: have to hit free agency probably one or two more times,

265
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: sign one or two more contracts whenever this one that

266
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: was theoretically given in the offseason ends, because he will

267
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 2: have probably two or three years left, especially if he's

268
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: chasing a certain home run number that he could be

269
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: looking at some point in his career. And I can

270
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: see Pete being like, I want nine or ten years

271
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: because I want to sign this contract and I never

272
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: want to think about who I'm going to play for again.

273
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to have to sign for another team.

274
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: That was actually the report that the money was fine,

275
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: but they wanted more years, and it was also the

276
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: timeline was we're in the report, and I had this

277
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: conversation with somebody in my DMS. I forgot who, but

278
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 3: it wasn't really clear when whether when that contract was

279
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: officially offered to Petem right, So like that could have

280
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: been Billy Eppler, not David Stearns, that could have been

281
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: Pete to old agents and not Scott Boris. Like, yeah,

282
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: Pete time with Boris in October, which is when Stearns

283
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: came in. So it would make a lot of logical

284
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: sense that would have happened like winter meetings this time.

285
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: But we don't know for sure because we don't know

286
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: Joe Schruman just dropped that. But just it's been interesting

287
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: to me to see how this tide has turned, where

288
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: these same Mets fans who are like good riddens to

289
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 3: pi Alonzo seventy five days ago were like if Pilonzo

290
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: ever plays a game of different uniforms and embarrassing me

291
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: to the Mets organization.

292
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: I mean that I will say I was never I

293
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: was never on that side of things, like fuck Pete

294
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: for not taking this, but I have found myself more

295
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: and more being on the side of it's probably time

296
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: to trade him. If this team's not gonna do anything

297
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: but think shout out, shout out Clay, shout out. Mckits

298
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: texted us this morning. I was on a ledge, I

299
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: was ready to jump, and he was like, there's still

300
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: only one game out of the wild card. Again, it's

301
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: early in the year. But like as horrible and terrible

302
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: and all the awful words I have to say about

303
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: this team are, they're not out of it. Eddie means

304
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: it's still so early in the season, which is also

305
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: such loser talk, and I feel like we're the PR

306
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: department just spewing nonsense again, but relatively speaking, the sky

307
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: is falling, but it's not at the same time.

308
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: And again, also like the league right now fucking sucks

309
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: on all sense sucks. It seems like Major League Baseball

310
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: manipulate the ball again, and I'm so mad at myself.

311
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: I didn't see this coming for fantasy and just like

312
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: making content because last year all the pitcher sucks and

313
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: all the pitchers can play in League ERA was like

314
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: four to four and all and the league, I think

315
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: the league ops was like seven thirty or something. No, yeah,

316
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: seven thirty four, I haven't in front of me. So

317
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: they league was like, okay, we need to help the

318
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: pitchers out a little bit. Let's kill the ball again.

319
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: We know all the balls are going in play. We

320
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: have that point of data from last year, and now

321
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: all the balls were going to play, it'll be no

322
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: more home runs. They'll make everything even. But right now,

323
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: the league wide triple slash. So this is league average,

324
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: every single player in baseball boiled down to the numbers

325
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: two thirty nine, batting average, three twelve on base percentage

326
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: three eighty five, slugging six ninety seven OPS. That's almost

327
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: a forty point drop in OPS from one year from

328
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three twenty twenty four. So we see these

329
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: Mets struggling. Then you look around the league, and I'm

330
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: sure a lot of Mets fans don't look around.

331
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: The league that often.

332
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: You're seeing teams like the Cardinals, the Pirates, the Red

333
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: Sox can't hit. They only even have good hit as

334
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: they can't hit. The Blue Jays are a complete fucking

335
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: dumpster fire at the play in the field, everything, the Padres,

336
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 3: of course, Shros, the Astros are fit ten games under

337
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 3: five hundred like most of the league right now, basically

338
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: besides the Yankees. Well, I was gonna say the Twins

339
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: until the Yankees just whipped the shit out of him. Again,

340
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: will I tell you this that yesterday, I think they're

341
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirteen and I think forty nine. Yeah, whatever,

342
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: the Yankees the last hundred sixty two games against the Twins,

343
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: including playoffs, it would be the best win loss record

344
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: ever in the major league season. But it's basically just

345
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: the Yankees, the Phillies, the Braves, the Dodgers right now, Like,

346
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: those are the teams hitting. That's that's it. And uh yeah,

347
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: now the managers aren't hitting. Oh in the A's, the

348
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: A's are hitting, so that's yeah.

349
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 2: But they've lost like seven straight I think since they

350
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: got hot, so.

351
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: The whole league nobody can hit right now. That's what's

352
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: happening in baseball right now. And the fact that the

353
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: Mets are just kind of grinding through these games pitching.

354
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: And again I said the last time as Mets starting

355
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: pitching is taking a major step back in the last

356
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: two weeks. Like we now have the eighth highest starting

357
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: pitching ERA in the league. We have the highest walk

358
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: rate for starting pitchers in the league by so much, guys,

359
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 3: only three teams in Major League Baseball have a walk

360
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: right from the start, there's over ten percent and the

361
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: Mets is twelve percent. It's really bad, and lukezy start

362
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: didn't help. Like Nie Nibbles every time, I just to me,

363
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: it's like, I don't know if this organizational like the teams.

364
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: The team is telling these guys who really aren't that

365
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: good be careful. But then the other side of that,

366
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: as like were playing a huge ballpark it's still cold

367
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: as hell on the East Coast, lean into some contact,

368
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: not playing these guys on base because the guys on

369
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: base was killing us. And we have allowed the second

370
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: few his home runs per nine and in frenny starting

371
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: staff in baseball. So I think those two things are

372
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: definitely very closely related. And one of the lowest batting

373
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: averages of the balls to play, so a lot of things.

374
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: And the Mets will haven't had one ending pitch by

375
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: the race this year, so and that again they have

376
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: They've had a few Christian Scott don't yeah, Christian Scot, Yeah,

377
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: I still still call the over Scott, but just this

378
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: season's gone like shit, and after this win, they're technically

379
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: it doesn't fucking matter because we're for the ish games

380
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: through the season. We're like basically in a playoff spots.

381
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: Who cares does about that Dodgers championship was mickey mouse.

382
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: Six game seasons doesn't isn't real, But it's just it sucks.

383
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: But it's also it's fucking may like the season didn't

384
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: even start now it hasn't. I just like, again, this

385
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: this win tonight calmed me down. I was I was

386
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: so hot. I was so hot because nothing.

387
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: It feels like everything that could have gone wrong in

388
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: this series did because again, these these games were very winnable.

389
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: That's could have Metts could have swept this series four games,

390
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: just like the Phillies could have. Yeah, and to see

391
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: the way that we were losing it, like Diaz obviously

392
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: is just not Edwin Diaz right now, He's he's going

393
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: through it and he's hit that metaphorical wall of where

394
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: like the stuff has not come back yet. You see,

395
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: he's pressing, he's now not having the good results, and

396
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: people are getting at him. I mean, I was even

397
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: a little frustrating. I'm like, fuck, I'm getting PTSD from

398
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen watching Edwin Diaz right now, like that home

399
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: run to Bryson Stott, Oh my god. And then on

400
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: fro on the fourth game, blowing that one too, and

401
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: the way that he did. I don't know. It's dude,

402
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: like people go to other teams, you root for other teams,

403
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: You watch other teams, players come in there, they play well.

404
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: It's like they come to the Mets and it's like,

405
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: never fucking easy. It's never easy except for Joannas Sesspez

406
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: And it wasn't even easy for him because he fell

407
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: in a fucking hole because he was chasing a warhow

408
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: around his fucking facility whatever he was on. What the

409
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: fuck are you talking about?

410
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: But never comes I don't think again, I think that

411
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: was my point in my last lots, Tyrie. I don't

412
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: think it's that easy for other teams either, Like I

413
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: don't think teams really have it easy.

414
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: Maybe this year in a vacuum, but like they fucking do.

415
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: The Yankees Gotjuan Soto and they're the best team in

416
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: baseball now, Like fuck them, I know, But again, they're

417
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: the best team baseball in May. Two years of the

418
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: year ago, they're the best team baseball in May also,

419
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: and they had a catastrophic collapse. The only difference is

420
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: they got one. So though for bits and pieces, of

421
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: their roster. But just you gotta keep me level. I'm

422
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: talking myself in a spiral here. It is like the

423
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: team's playing well right now. Are the Phillies who again

424
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: like watching this series, think about what you were talking

425
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: about in the top of the episode, just like having

426
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: a fuck you guy, like Bryce Harper's a fuck you guy.

427
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper's a fuck you guy. Kyle Schwarber' is a

428
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: fuck you guy. That guy hits one eighty and takes

429
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: the hardest swings of the plate every single time. I

430
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: love it, Like I hate the phil with a passion.

431
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: I hate that fucking city. I hate everything, But god

432
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: damn it, do I respect a lot of the players

433
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: on that team.

434
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: Phillis are a fucking super well run organization. The Phillies

435
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: are like have had this like three to four year

436
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 3: run here where they've become one of the most like surefire,

437
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 3: like bulletproof organizations in baseball. And they did it in

438
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: like the most hilarious way possible, where they have a

439
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 3: three headed monster at the top of the front office

440
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: where the top the President Baseball Operation is Dave don

441
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: Braski and Dave Don Browski is He's like, what thirty

442
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: years in the game, he's got multiple championships. He got

443
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 3: a ring with the Marlins. He took the Tigers as

444
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 3: far as they possibly could have gone, got the ring

445
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: with the Red Sox. Now he's in the Phillies team

446
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: and he's he's just circling the wagon again. For another

447
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: ring was fourth organization, which is insane. As the head

448
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 3: executive he might have had some before his minor executive.

449
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: And below him they have Sam Folds assistant GM. Sam Folds,

450
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: you guys might have remembered them. He was kind of

451
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 3: like utility the outfielder back in the day, fourth outfielder type,

452
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 3: cerebral player, knows numbers really well, and he's like the

453
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 3: kind of the liaison between players and numbers. And then

454
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: the guy right next to him, Sam Fold. I forget

455
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: his name.

456
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: Ah God, can you look up the one of the

457
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: Phillies front office directory from me right now? But I

458
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: talked about him this podcast years ago because it's just fascinating.

459
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: The Phillies hired him at like twenty eight or twenty nine.

460
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: He I think it was an actual areal scientists or

461
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: just a pure data scientists. I don't know if he's

462
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: ever even touched or sniffed a baseball. I don't know

463
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: if he's ever had dirt on his pants, but he

464
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: is just a fucking freak. And they have this three

465
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: head monster of like old school exactly if you can

466
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: do anything baseball player who's knows numbers and then just

467
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: complete savant. What's this position that we're looking for.

468
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: I think he's I think he's either a GM or

469
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: now he's like vice president. You know how they change

470
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: around the names, so he should be like their other

471
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: fourth in command. I think his name appears Indian.

472
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: Okay, because there's nobody that appears Indian right now at

473
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: the top of their thing.

474
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: Maybe got taken away in the off season or maybe

475
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: just like runs like day there or something.

476
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: Oh, baseball operations here it is here. It is annerude colombie.

477
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: That's him and rude. Yes.

478
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: They again like they have these three guys running the

479
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: organization and they did it perfectly. And then you see

480
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: him the roster.

481
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: Like they have a mix of dogs, they have a

482
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: mix of analytics, and they have just this mix of

483
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: baseball players who you just don't want to see on

484
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: the other side of the field. Like it's they they

485
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: have a really really good team, and we gave some

486
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: shit to them kind of like yeah, tongue in cheek,

487
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: but they're a fucking really good team and they're gonna

488
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: be around this whole year, and just it sucks that

489
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 2: we had two games won on them and two other

490
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: games that we were super in and just got you

491
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: lose another series and you can't keep stacking up these

492
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: series losses. No, And I don't know if you guys,

493
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: if you're watching on YouTube, you probably saw me like

494
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: cringe and get her a little mad, like randomly while

495
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: James was talking. Has nothing to do with that. I

496
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: was trying to make a point about how like even

497
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: just go back to like twenty nineteen, right, the Mets

498
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: from that team have like Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimo, Pete Alonzo,

499
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: like the guys that are that were around during that team,

500
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: and you're like, holy shit, if we can add some

501
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: pieces around these guys, we're gonna make some noise like

502
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 2: that year, like we had a chance, we couldn't get

503
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: it done. It's like, Wow, we had Francisco Lindo or

504
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: we're bringing the we have this great closer now Edwin Diaz.

505
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: We have all these things going on, and then you

506
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 2: look at the Phillies team. The Mets record and Phillies

507
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: record were pretty similar in twenty nineteen, eighty one wins

508
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: for the Phillies. The Phillies from that team have kept

509
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: j t Ra Muto, Bryce Harper, and then on the

510
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: pitching side, Aaron Nola. I think that's pretty much it

511
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 2: in terms of the guy that are still around from

512
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: that twenty nineteen team, and yet they're the one that

513
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: is just completely catapulted past us, which is crazy because

514
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: it's like, you look at those two at that moment,

515
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 2: you'd be like, Mets just need a few pieces, Phillies

516
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: are far away, and they fucking couldn't have gone opposite directions.

517
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 3: Baseball twitl the legend Jaku, though he had a great

518
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: tweet tonight on this day three years ago. Here are

519
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 3: the first place teams in Major League Baseball. Red Sox,

520
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: White Sox, Athletics, Mets, Cardinals, Giants, Nice. It happens fast,

521
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: like baseball.

522
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: It like people.

523
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 3: They're like at the top, it feels like there's not

524
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: a lot of parody because it just always feels like Braves, Dodgers, Yankees.

525
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: But the middle changes a lot. The middle class of

526
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: baseball moves around a lot, especially just golden age of

527
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: data that we're in, Like there's so many ways that

528
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: you can attack the market, attack free agency. The Phillies

529
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: built this team in trades free agency. Now they're finally

530
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: the players of elements catching up in like a little

531
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: bit kind of relievers at least. It's just a Ryan kirkering,

532
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: what the fucking pitcher of that guy is?

533
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: That was nasty?

534
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 3: He looks pretty so good. He made physical indoor look horrible.

535
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: And if everybody did this series, he was over Yeah,

536
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 2: fucking sixteen whatever it was.

537
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 3: But we just were just rambling, ranting, and ravenn I

538
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: want to talk about Diaz, like specifically for a little while,

539
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: because there is a moment that I think a lot

540
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: of Mets fans together are starting to feel a little nervous.

541
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: Like he's blown three saves in the last four appearances

542
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 3: this year. His fastball has not got above ninety eight

543
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: miles an hour. His fastball's also lost a few inches

544
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 3: of life of ride of carry on it. It's it's

545
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 3: very bad. I put a picture on Twitter on Monday

546
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: night at the game. My sister snapped it me when

547
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: Bryce and Stott hit.

548
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: It was was the gohead run.

549
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 3: I think it was the go ahead run. I think

550
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 3: it was the hit by pitch with boom. She took

551
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: his picture of me. I was just my hands were

552
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 3: on my head. It was just like yeah, and I

553
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: was like the moment you realized Edwin Diaz isn't the same,

554
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: because he's not. And that game on Monday, like it

555
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: does suck like that wit Merrifield pitch, like he was

556
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: struck out the bomb hit by pitch that was like

557
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: centimeters of difference for hitting the knob of his bat

558
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: with two strikes or his or his pinky finger. But

559
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: it's also just like he had no command. Stott nailed

560
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: a fastball in him put into the seats, and then

561
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 3: he walked. I think he gave two straight singles to

562
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: the next guy. He walked theother guy, and he hit

563
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: another guy. It's just he's all over the place right now.

564
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: And then like that extra innings was horrible thought. I

565
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 3: think that it was before the Mets made these roster shakeups.

566
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: And I think Mendoza was pressing himself as well because

567
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: it happened over the weekend and it happened last week too,

568
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: where he would take out Brett Bailey to pinch hit

569
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: Tyron Taylor against a left handed pitcher like okay, in

570
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 3: a vacuum. That doesn't make tons of sense, but the

571
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: way the Mets had their bench lined up, then you're

572
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: then burning two bench players in one shot, like before

573
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: the ninth inning. So in Tyron Taylor pinch hits, he's

574
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: dead man. That was Joey Wendall comes in the game,

575
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: and then you have to use Dave dj Stewart as

576
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: a pinch runner when they're down by one and he

577
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: Joey went to bunting when you can't bunt. But you

578
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: said the last inning, you're managing to win the game,

579
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: but then you're trying to bunt with the man on base,

580
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 3: which just that Monday game was like a low point

581
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 3: for me this season. It was horrible, but I thought

582
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: it was Ron Darling had some good insight about Edwin

583
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 3: before the game on Tuesday, which then turned out to

584
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: be an even lower point. Then Wednesday turned out to

585
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: be even a lower point, But we'll get to that.

586
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 3: Just said that, like Edwin knows he's not the same

587
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: guy right now, Like his injury was very very serious.

588
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of history for pitchers of this

589
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: caliber who throw this hard to tear their potent tended.

590
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 3: It's not even a very common baseball injury, I think.

591
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 2: Ever.

592
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: I remember Dustin Fowler, Yankees prospect or Rocky's prospect. Yeah,

593
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: Yankees prospect. The only guy that could even find who

594
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: even tours. He wasn't a picture Stroman tours ACL Mets

595
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: Twitter pariah. I guess as I'm gonna call him John

596
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: Mncone Like he talked about tearing his ACL. I think

597
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 3: it's like a single a pitcher probably through eighty seven

598
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: miles an hour, like not the same as Edmond High School.

599
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: That's so yeah, it's just it's an injury that very

600
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: clearly like he's just he's not there yet. And Ronnie

601
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: specifically was like he could just feels mechanics a out

602
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 3: of the whack because he wants to get that fastball

603
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: to where it is with the life and the velocity

604
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: because he can't get into that spot. But then when

605
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: he tries to throw that hard, he's putting his lower

606
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: body out and he doesn't where the pitch is going.

607
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 3: He's had some bad wild pitches, some bad walks, wild

608
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: pitcher and a walk again did him in on the

609
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: Thursday night. It's just it's so hypast us right now

610
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 3: for him, and you could feel him pressing. You can

611
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: feel all of it. And I think again, he's still

612
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: a fine reliever every single thing. That's like everything. Yeah,

613
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: he's still probably one of the ten best relief pitchers

614
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: in base probably comfortably fifteen even at best, I'll give you.

615
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 3: But it's just he's no longer the clear defined best

616
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: picture by far, and that feels like a huge step down.

617
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Mendoze even gave us a little insight to after

618
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: the game in Game four talking to the press, and

619
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: he was like, yeah, Edwin, especially with his fastball, is

620
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: feeling a little bit of pressure and that the game

621
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 2: has felt fast to him for the first time in

622
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: a while, which kind of is obvious too. Like he

623
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 2: didn't even remotely hold on Bryce and Side or that

624
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: wasn't actually that was another guy, but he didn't hold

625
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: on somebody and they yeah, they stole second base easily,

626
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, what are we doing, Like we

627
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: can't just be giving up base runners like this. I

628
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 2: know the Bets refuse to throw out runners, but like

629
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: his head clearly is very focused on trying to get

630
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: this velo back, trying to get the fastball to snap.

631
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: From my perspective, what it looks like mechanically is that

632
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: he's just not really using his lower half as much.

633
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: It feels like it is all arms, all shoulders, all

634
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: all upper half, which is why he's missing high and away.

635
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: His arm is just kind of rushing through because he's

636
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: trying to throw so much harder rather than using that

637
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: lower half, which of course is going to be the

638
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: hardest thing for him to figure out and get back

639
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: because he blew out his fucking knee the last time

640
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: he pitched when he used his lower half. So I

641
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: get it mentally, and I don't think, like, I don't

642
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: think there's an injury with him. I don't think that

643
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: there's a mental block. I think this is just something

644
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: that happens when you blow out your knee, especially the

645
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: teller tendon of it's like the thickest tended in your knee, right.

646
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 2: I believe it's like maybe the biggest one you have.

647
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: It's incredibly rare entry in a baseball player. Yeah, So

648
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: I think there's just a combination of all that along

649
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: with the pressure that he's feeling, along with the fact

650
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 2: that he himself probably knows I'm not as good as

651
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: I have been. That's all culminating into this awful, awful

652
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: week that's happened, and I'm hoping we can put it

653
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: behind us because it's I'm not worried about Edwin Diaz,

654
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 2: as much as that makes sense. The only thing I

655
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: am worried about is the mental side of things right

656
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: now for him. I want him to be mentally strong,

657
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: and it seems like we're getting a little a couple

658
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: of cracks in there which are a little concerning to me.

659
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 3: I think you're a little foolish not to also care

660
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 3: about the physical side of it. Again, Like I don't

661
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: think there's anything wrong with him, but it's just he's

662
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 3: thirty years old. He has a massive, serious lower half injury,

663
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 3: and like that lower half is really important pitchering. I

664
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 3: feel like people hear lower like leg injury for pitching

665
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: and you're like, Okay, he's back, he's back. Yeah, yeah,

666
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: Like that's it's so important. I think it probably just

667
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 3: will take a long time for all this to be back,

668
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 3: and this is probably get a lot of Jeremy half

669
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 3: right now to get him in a ballpen and get

670
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: those mechanics back. He's fixed them once. He get fixed

671
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: them again. But it's just it's a lot. It's something

672
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: that used to be such a thing that we have

673
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: to think about, such a foregone conclusion, such a such

674
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: a comfort of this team is not there right now.

675
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 3: And again, everyone just has to pick him up. Everyone

676
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: has to pick him up. It's on the rest of

677
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: the guys now. Because he's done it for you, you

678
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 3: have to do it for him.

679
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, which shout out to him for doing that in

680
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: the fourth game of the series, because I really, I

681
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: really thought that game was over. I thought there was

682
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: no shot there were winning. That's just a real real mess. Yeah,

683
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: they fall back twelve back, which I don't even know.

684
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 2: I feel Bay Martinez. It was good.

685
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 3: It was good rallies and they had the wild pitch

686
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 3: for Pete that was another miracle. But yeah, just it's

687
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 3: off the raft Buck, Yes, off the raft Bucks. Jose Alvarado.

688
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: They it's such a weird team, such weird games. Like

689
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 3: the series was bizarre. I thought Aaron Old was gonna

690
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 3: throw a perfect game on.

691
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 2: To his afternoon. I really did.

692
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: I mean, he was coming through the Mets like like

693
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: a knife through brother like and then it was just

694
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: that that was the end of the homestand and like

695
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 3: the home stand with six five games against your rival,

696
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: you go one and four and just I had a

697
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 3: little tweet and the Mets had have had such a

698
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: trouble scoring at City Field this year, it's it's a

699
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 3: complete disaster. They're four and eight in their last twelve

700
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: home games. Three of those victories where the Viano's walk

701
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: off home runing against the Cardinals, the Nimo walk off

702
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: home runing against the Braves, and the miracle Francisco Indoor

703
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 3: flew games staling Marty throwing at two guys playing next

704
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 3: innings that we were there.

705
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: That was three of their last four home wins like that,

706
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: All those were miracles. Any one of those games they

707
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: could have lost. They scored thirty three runs in their

708
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: last twelve home games. That's under three runs per game.

709
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: Like's you're not gonna win baseball like that. And again

710
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: I hate that, like it's magnifying something's happening, like Carls

711
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: Mendez's decision making or the pen's effectiveness.

712
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: When it's like it just comes down to this offense.

713
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: You guys have to score four runs.

714
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: You have to. I mean that, and I mean you

715
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: have you seen the Mets record since Timmy Trumpets a

716
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: step in the building. I mean, we got got the

717
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: Timmy Trumpets curse here a little bit. The Mets are

718
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: currently pulling it up real quick. I haven't go for it.

719
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: They're one thirteen, one twenty three since Timmy trump has

720
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 3: stepped in the building. And it's not completely Edwin Diez's fault,

721
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 3: but he only has eight saves and twenty five appearances

722
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: since that happened. And I think it's just kind of

723
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 3: endemic to a broader issue with this Mets organization where

724
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: it's just like, what.

725
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 2: What do we think?

726
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: Like there's so much happening. There's so much happening right now.

727
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: My sister at the game on Monday, we're there together,

728
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: shout out my sister, Julie is the best. But she

729
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: was just like watching the game, she was like, there's

730
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: too much going on in the stadium. She was like,

731
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 3: there's so much happening here. She was like, like, you'll

732
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: just forget about it, Like she actually said this, so

733
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: I thought was hilarious. She's like, you forget about the

734
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: baseball game. And I feel like she's the exact kind

735
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: of person.

736
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: Who they want you to right about the baseball game.

737
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: But I feel like she's the exact kind of person

738
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: that like they're trying to be like this city field

739
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: is amazing. Look at city field right now, where it's

740
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: like she's like, this is just this is too much happening.

741
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: Like the intensity of Edmund Diaz his walkout right now

742
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: is a lot and it's really cool. Don't get me wrong,

743
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: it is sick. It's so awesome. But then it's just

744
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: like this is.

745
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: Like is this more important than that the guy who

746
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: liked his health and is pitching in the role he's in,

747
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: Like do they feel like they can't demo and maybe

748
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: have him work some seventh and eighth innings while he

749
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: fixes his mechanics because of the song that they play

750
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: when he leaves the bullpen, like or it is reed

751
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: Garrett's cana have to walk out to Latin trumpet after this?

752
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: Like how like how do we organize this right now?

753
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: Like what's actually important here? It even felt like during

754
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: that off season like a huge reason he came back

755
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: to this team, but the money he did was because

756
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: we had to preserved the intro and the intro is

757
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: a complete worldwide phenomenon. To give the Mest organization a

758
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: lot of credit for developing this because like I think

759
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: they've even changed the way that bullpen entrances have gone

760
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: around baseball now, like everyone I feel like it's trying

761
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: to do something like this. And again like Marian Rivera

762
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: did it for a while, Trevor hoff And had a

763
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: cool one like but this is the feel like the

764
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: first one of the new generation. That's like crazy, you

765
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: know the song because how many how many closer songs

766
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: do you know besides Enter sam Man and Hell's Bells,

767
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: those are like the two big ones of course, Yeah,

768
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: that's it.

769
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: And again like this is the this is the new

770
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: one where it's crazy and it's it's transcended to even

771
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: other sports and every every stadium plays this song now.

772
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: But it's just like take a breather for a second.

773
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: Like the guy who like we're doing this big intro

774
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: for like he is struggling, like he's too hot, like

775
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: his heart's beating too fast. Maybe just play a lower volume,

776
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: maybe kill the led lights for a week or something like,

777
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: maybe don't Every single time a Philly reliever came into

778
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: the game, they did this huge subway animation objective, the

779
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: great graphic design, but like these relievers are coming in

780
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: and blowing our brains out of the place. It's like

781
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: this doesn't feel like good anymore. Guys, we can add

782
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: onto this lead. I gotta here's my hot question for you.

783
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: Do you do you retire the trumpets until he came back?

784
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: You can't do that because it's just like that's not

785
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: then then you look even worse.

786
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

787
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: The Met all this stuff back themselves a new corner,

788
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 3: and I feel like this organization does this sometimes, these Mets,

789
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: they overdo these things like these marketing and engagement, like

790
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: Queen's Crew.

791
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: You said the Phillies were laughing at the Queen's Crew, right,

792
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: or my dad the brain you know, we're laughing at

793
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 2: the Queen's Crew. Like if there's just certain things that

794
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: the Mets do that other teams don't, And it's okay

795
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: if you win, but we don't. We lose a lot.

796
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: Even like today I was I call the Philly broadcast.

797
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: I couldn't low an SNY stream and I was much

798
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: more focused on the Rangers anyway, Like Philly fanatic was

799
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: just smashing the Mets. Helme then I was like, damn,

800
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: it's great. They'll just be this three times in a row.

801
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 3: They're fifteen games ahead of us in the stances.

802
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: The Mets a little too curvy and they take away

803
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: her Twitter account and now it's combined with the mister

804
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: Met like we can't have any fun as she tries

805
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: to go for the Mets at the Mascot Hall of Fame.

806
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: Not right, not right. We we we support women in

807
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: the Mess Up Podcast. We will never silence them ever.

808
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: But it's just it's so much happening right now. It's

809
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: just like, guys, this team is like a seventy five

810
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 2: win team. It's just like just fucking chill with all

811
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: this stuff. Like I again, I sound like an old

812
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: Manuel and a cloud, but like at some point I

813
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: want to focus on baseball. Like Matt Olson was like

814
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: pointing at the creas crew laughing on the field. Ozzy

815
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: Albi's was like trying to say something to him. He's like,

816
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: I can't hear you, and he's like pointing to the speakers.

817
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: It's just like there's so much going on in that stadium,

818
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: and it's like you got a deep fried, fucking seven

819
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: layer cookie, you have a burger with Lobster on it.

820
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: It's like, I can't even figure out what's happening in there.

821
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: I'd love to, uh, I don't know. Just start it over,

822
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: just be like, okay, forget everything that happened in twenty

823
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: twenty two. Let's all let's get the men in Black thing,

824
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: shock it, forget it. The season starts now. You wouldn't

825
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: be doing the stuff that the Mets are doing. There's

826
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: no way they're still carrying like off the coattails of

827
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, which is the worst thing they could

828
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: possibly do, because that's two fucking years ago. It's so

829
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: long ago, and there was a team that achieved nothing.

830
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: They didn't win that division, they didn't win a playoff round,

831
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: they achieved literally nothing. They literally were a massive choke

832
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: with that team. And again, that Timmy trumpet felt like

833
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: it was the beginning of the end of that season too,

834
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: Like the second that happened, it was like that was

835
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: the peak, like that was the moment, and it's just

836
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 2: like like put a target on their backs that they

837
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: didn't really need. It was like, oh, you're gonna bring

838
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: out a guy to play the fucking trumpets during the

839
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: game on the field because your reliever came out like

840
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: it was cool. I'm not saying it was. It was cool,

841
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: it was awesome, But fuck, I wish we never did

842
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: that because it just like you have to be the best,

843
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 2: and we're not.

844
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: No in the fact that happen against the Dodgers, who

845
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: like are the class of baseball. The Braves be the

846
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: ship us after that, and they kept they keep a

847
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: little brothering us since then. It's just this team isn't

848
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: in a position right now. Again like maybe maybe like

849
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 3: where we don't realize it, like maybe you have to

850
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: be able to market that way if you just want

851
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 3: to get yourself to a point eventually.

852
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: But it's also like god, like I just I just

853
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: wish that there was a little more impathus on on

854
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: the what's going on on the field.

855
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: It's just not it's just not that good. But also

856
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: maybe like if you wait for the team to get good,

857
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: like then you just never do marketing. Like I don't know,

858
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: like what the Nationals have a horribling game, exp what

859
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: the marketing is winning when.

860
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: Fucking baseball games? We got playoff games? Like all all this, Uh, James,

861
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: how how full was the stadium the other night? Just

862
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: want to know, because all this marketing that's going on,

863
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 2: surely there must be tons of people there completely empty.

864
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: The Mets are actually one of the teams I've seen

865
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: that I've lost the most attendance this season, And what

866
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: do you think the reasoning behind that is? Again, because

867
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: marketing would tell you we spend on the marketing, we

868
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: have cool things. They're gonna show up. What the team

869
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: sucks ass? Team sucks ass, and no one gives.

870
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: I'm just mad right now. But team team's fine. The

871
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: team is good. Is a is a team that's going

872
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 3: to be slightly below five hundred.

873
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: That's what they are. It's what they seem to be.

874
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 2: The one thing they killed in marketing was the fucking

875
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: these guys right here.

876
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: We got murdered for it. But I don't even know.

877
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: It's just there's just such like a prod sky we

878
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: just again, we just we're rabving. We're not talking about

879
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 3: base moneymore. We should talk about like the massive roster

880
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 3: shakeups that happened.

881
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 2: This team, and then they will lead into uh, Steve

882
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 2: Colin as well, Yeah exactly. So it's I like that

883
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: we're aggressive in season, Like Steve Cohen's had a propensity

884
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: to be like, I don't care about that money.

885
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: Like if something's not working, it's not working, just get

886
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 3: rid of it. And David Stearns also seems like now

887
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 3: like having this like shortly leash because he actually has

888
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 3: some money behind him, he's willing to make some more moves.

889
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 3: So after Aaron Nola bent us over on Tuesday afternoon

890
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: almost through a perfect game, it was terrible.

891
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: It was It's just terrible. They fa Joey.

892
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: Wendell, Chinese Buddy Yeah, sent down Jose Budo, which hurt

893
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 3: me in my core, called up Lukes, who has now

894
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: been sent down for Josh Walker, DFA Johan Ramirez for

895
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 3: the second time this year, and called up Grant Heartwick.

896
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: It was a lot.

897
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: Again, the shakeups are nice and it's just I think

898
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 3: it did give this team a little jolt like Viano's

899
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, he had a big RBA double right in

900
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 3: the game star that for Angishwaraz, one of the game's

901
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: best run stoppers this year. Mark Fans also had two

902
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: deplorably bad plays at third base, one of them which

903
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 3: completely opened the floodgates for the Phillies in this game.

904
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: So again that's it.

905
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: It's like, what we say this stuff because I know

906
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people who listen to the

907
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 2: podcast and like it but disagree with a lot of

908
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: things that we say at times, and Viento seems to

909
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: be a big one where I'm I've always been like,

910
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 2: and you too, like you can't play third base, Guys,

911
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: he can't do it. This isn't just us saying it

912
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: because we we want to be right. This is the fact.

913
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 2: And you've seen he can't play third base. He might

914
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: be a better hitter than I give him credit for,

915
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: or that you give him credit for ever said he's

916
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: not a good hit there. He's a fine he can

917
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: he can hit them out. He cannot play third base.

918
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: I don't see where it's coming to get any better either.

919
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 3: Just brokele Southern accent out. But just it does feel

920
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: like the fact that like this team's backs against the wall,

921
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 3: they're like Mark Fianto's right.

922
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: Sure, it's just And and the fact that he went

923
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: into the lineup higher like they rearranged the lineup to

924
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: that day and he hit ahead of Starling Marte who

925
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: had been hitting two long. Yeah. I saw your tweet.

926
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I replied that to Tim Healy, and he quotes

927
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 3: with me, I was like, nice, but yeah, just the

928
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 3: logic of the fact that Starring Marte hit second on Tuesday,

929
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: Mark Fianto's and triple A on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Mark

930
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: Fiantos is hitting fifth at Starring Marte's hitting sixth, where

931
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 3: it's like this, okay.

932
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: Second time in Mark Vantos is really short career. The

933
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: Mets have been like, we have problems, fix it Mark

934
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 2: on you.

935
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: But I want to talk briefly about my got Boodo

936
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: getting sent down too, because it was a bad few

937
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 3: starts for Boodough. But I also think it's just a

938
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 3: weird moment for the Mets in terms of roster management,

939
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 3: where he pitched on Tuesday, and the Mets have been

940
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: saying they're going to transition to six man rotation just

941
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 3: to keep everybody fresh, to get ready for Sanyanga and

942
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: to keep scot because he was also want a six

943
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 3: man rotation.

944
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: Down the minor leagues.

945
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: So they we're gonna put Houser in the rotation and

946
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 3: we were dreading that and luckily didn't get put in

947
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: the rotation because on Tuesday he just he just he

948
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: just got warmed up, like I can't can't pitch tomorrow

949
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: anymore then Wednesday. He actually did pitch a relief, but

950
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: when he pitched Wednesday in relief, that was on five

951
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 3: days rest from the last time. So he is on

952
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 3: schedule to pitch Monday. And now Mendoza said that McGill

953
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 3: is gonna come up and pitch either Sunday or Monday.

954
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 3: So it seems like those are the two guys are

955
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: gonna be in rotation because Ukase went back down and

956
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 3: shocker Joe Lucaz didn't didn't really have a very good start.

957
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 3: He got to the third time through the rotation, and

958
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 3: then Pryce Harper and Alec Bohoma Jay did.

959
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: He removed to with piss missiles often and it makes sense,

960
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 2: but Bullo hasn't been good, but also I think he

961
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: might still be better than half of these guys. Like

962
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: his last twenty six innings since the case, he started

963
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: twenty three strikeouts in seventeen walks. It's really pad, you

964
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: can't that many walks. You can't do that. And something

965
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: that we lauded Budo for was his aggressiveness, his willingness

966
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 2: to attack hitters. But I think that was just something

967
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 2: that we thought I looked not born out in the

968
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: day that at all forty two percent zone rate this

969
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: season on pristack cast. That is the lowest rate in

970
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: the major leagues of all starting pitchers the least amount

971
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: of pitches throwing the zone. That's tied with Stroman. But

972
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: the rest of the bottom five guys in zone rate

973
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: are actually all having fantastic seasons. Stroman Gallon, Trevor Williams,

974
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: the goat wish man, Trevor Williams and this team, and

975
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: Reese Olsen who doesn't give up hits or runs ever

976
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: No and Jose Bulu's chase rate was in line with

977
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 2: all those guys. I think just something happened that Dodgers

978
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: start where he got to figure out a little bit

979
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: with the change up, because the change up is a

980
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 2: whiff pitch, but people aren't swinging at It's just it's

981
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: not cann get withhed anymorecause I don't think it's that

982
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: great of a pitch. I think it just worked well

983
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: off as fastball, so then the whiffs have dried up,

984
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: the chases have drive up a little bit, and then

985
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: that's how the walks have happened. So I think he

986
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: just has to go back down triplay for a little

987
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 2: bit like get more, get his head right than anything else.

988
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: Just attack the zone again. But the Mets are again

989
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: this weird.

990
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: Spot and roster construction right now, where they have this

991
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: whole bullpen that's pitching fine objectively, nobody really has options

992
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 3: behind besides one spot to keep flipping around this rotation.

993
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: Now Houser Stank subjectively is terrible. There's get another shot

994
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 3: because he has a contract. Kintana righted the ship slightly

995
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: on Thursday, but he's also been really bad. He's probably

996
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 3: two months away from having a hard conversation. And then

997
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: you have Miguil Peterson coming back, Sanga hopefully coming back.

998
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 3: Scott's here, he better not fucking go anywhere. No, Severino's

999
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 3: pitching great, and then Boodo and then you em and I, yeah,

1000
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: we're not as pitching well too. But you'd you'd love

1001
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 3: to be able to keep like the Budo Peterson McGill

1002
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: guys all on the roster together to like soak up

1003
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: the innings in the middle of the bullpen. But because

1004
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 3: none of these relievers have any minor league options, you

1005
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: can't take him off the roster anymore. The Cory Lopez

1006
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 3: is too good, Rid Garrett has an option, but he's

1007
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,959
Speaker 3: not going anywhere. Drew Smith's coming back out of Veno

1008
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 3: of course, not like there's just just too like suddenly

1009
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 3: too many guys in this both like I wouldn't even

1010
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: surprise the Mets try to like actually trade the reliever

1011
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 3: to clear this up and let.

1012
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: One of these star.

1013
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 3: There's like be the glue guy in this roster. But

1014
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 3: we have too many pictures but also now the pitcher.

1015
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: It's very weird. What's happened? Well, yeah we have. We

1016
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: have too many pictures, but not enough to make a

1017
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: decision of who those pictures should be. That's really what

1018
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: it comes down to is like, well, I mean we

1019
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: know who one of them shouldn't be. It shouldn't be

1020
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: Adrian Hawser. And again, like you said, he's probably could

1021
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 2: be making his last appearance. And if it goes poorly

1022
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: again another knee, how get ready to learn Chinese? Buddy,

1023
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 2: Like he's just he's probably being cut. He's gonna stick around.

1024
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't think this teams can give up about Joey

1025
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 2: Wendall too, and he's gone.

1026
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 3: Well, I think Joey Wands is different. Joey Ones on

1027
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 3: a one year contract. I think Adrian hows are actually

1028
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 3: like two years of control.

1029
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 2: I think he's a free agent. I'm I'm I'm gonna

1030
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 2: call you out on that one, but I might be wrong.

1031
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 3: He is a free agent at the end of the year. Okay,

1032
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 3: so he is someone that actually could be cut that.

1033
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: But again, teams, teams hate to give up assets for free,

1034
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 3: especially one that's like an actual starting pitcher in the

1035
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: league with like a four to oh career gra.

1036
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, so is Jared Iykoff. He was his actual

1037
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: starting pitcher too. I guess no. I mean, I mean

1038
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: I caught here and like houses here, which shows you

1039
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 2: where we think of Jared Yacoff. But it's just teams

1040
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 2: don't want to give assets like that. It just that's

1041
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 2: the way that these Major league teams operate. Like why

1042
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: I give you something for free if I could get

1043
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: anything from it from you?

1044
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 3: Any Rockies, I don't know, I was got. It's a

1045
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: strange situation right now. I don't know how they're gonna

1046
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 3: line up all these guys come back. Miguel's coming back.

1047
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 3: I guess, I don't know. I'm not gonna pretend to

1048
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: be excited about but I'm also I'll give him another chance,

1049
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 3: Like why not? I said he had made some changes

1050
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: in the prospect of port last week.

1051
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1052
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 3: But then as this all happened, Wednesday was as clusterfuck

1053
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 3: as the game as the Mets had had. They had

1054
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,959
Speaker 3: met on base four of the five things against Rangers Wirez.

1055
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 3: They could not get a big hit. Joe Lucasey fell

1056
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 3: apart in the fifth with some bad defense. He walked

1057
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: the seven eight hitres ahead of the great top of

1058
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 3: Phillies lineup. Then Mark Fantos didn't get back to third

1059
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: base soon enough on a sacond Phillies gave you. Now

1060
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 3: Mark Fvantos didn't get back to their base s sooon up.

1061
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 3: Lukasey was aggressive, but he had the guy third. It

1062
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 3: was bad fluggeates open, then door may and error and

1063
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 3: McNeil may and error. It was just it was fucking

1064
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 3: It was gross. See that game was gross. It was

1065
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 3: hard to watch. It was one of the least It

1066
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 3: was the worst MET game, I think, one of the

1067
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: worst MET games this year.

1068
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we got a deleted tweet from Uncle Steve

1069
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: Steve Cohen at eight thirty nine pm, tweeted out after

1070
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: someone sent to May it appears like their blog about

1071
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: the Mets, and blowing it up looks like an old

1072
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: man who was writing a blog about the Mets. I

1073
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 2: don't know why Steve Cohen was replying to this guy

1074
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: in the first place. It feels weird, but he said

1075
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: all in the future, not much we can do until

1076
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: trade deadline, and it got twenty three thousand years before

1077
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 2: it got deleted. Luckily, James was hot on the case,

1078
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: got the screen, I got it out on Mets up.

1079
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: But it does start the conversation of is this what

1080
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: we're Is this what Steve Cohen's thinking. Is this a

1081
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 2: sign of Pete alnso could be on the move? Is

1082
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 2: this a sign of Jeff McNeil maybe could be on

1083
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: the move. Is this a sign of basically, if you're

1084
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: a guy who's expendable, probably I think the three guys

1085
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: you can guarantee are not going anywhere in terms of offense,

1086
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: Brandon Mo, Francisco Alverus, Francisco, Lindor. I think those three

1087
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: guys are locked in for the foreseeable future with this

1088
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 2: team not going anywhere. But that tweet to me signals

1089
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 2: that basically everybody else is if we can get something

1090
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: back and then on the pitching side, like you're not

1091
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: moving Christian Scott kind of thing, but everybody else is available,

1092
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: could be available depending on trade deadline. We're super jumping

1093
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: the gun.

1094
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 3: There's two months and I think the Mets are technically

1095
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: like in a playoff spot right now, which is really

1096
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 3: funny to have this conversation. But it's just like you

1097
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 3: can get pretty penny for Luis ever, you know, like

1098
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 3: you really could, Like you could. Someone would want Sean

1099
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 3: and Ia, someone might give you a bag of balls

1100
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 3: for Joseik and Tana. But I think i'm I'm ha

1101
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 3: in the case on the Steve Cohens tweet, because he

1102
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 3: immediately did the he he saved the day, talked to

1103
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: everyone's favorite journals Andy Martinez afterwards, Steve Cohen's favorite journals especially.

1104
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 2: Like hey, like it was a mistake.

1105
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 3: I meant to this being a direct message, like of

1106
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 3: course I still expect the team to compete and make

1107
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 3: the postseason. Like it's still May, it's early in the season.

1108
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: I have a hot take, what is it? I think

1109
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 3: Steve Cohen has, if not a burner, many burners. I

1110
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: think I think that Uncle Stevie's active on Twitter because

1111
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 3: this is a classic case of I thought I was

1112
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 3: on a different account, and you are.

1113
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: You are got some multiple accounts out there.

1114
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 3: I don't like talking to any of them, but I

1115
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 3: use them just like be able to look at different

1116
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: things and see different stuff.

1117
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: I think some people need it.

1118
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't like me and blocking a few places, so

1119
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 3: I like to keep tabs, but.

1120
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: That's stups my burner. I get to see John Ayman's

1121
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: tweat because I'm blocked, exactly. But I I have I

1122
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 2: have some I have some experience with some some like

1123
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 2: really nitty gritty research in my past, and I'm I'm

1124
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 2: I'm on the case. Guys.

1125
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 3: If Steve Cohen has a burner, like give give me

1126
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: a week here, I'm gonna find it. I found one

1127
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: account today because I will tell you, guys how I

1128
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: did it. But I found an account that's that's just

1129
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 3: an egg. It's been exist since for about two years

1130
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 3: and the only things that tweets about are stocks and

1131
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: the mets. Replying to a lot of the Beat reporters

1132
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: replying to a lot of these like old school blocker

1133
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 3: type guys. It's just I don't think it's conclusive yet.

1134
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 3: I want, I need to get more in here. I'm

1135
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: I'm like the forensic Twitter guy. But it seems to

1136
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 3: me like because he said they said it was a

1137
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 3: direct message, there's no way he thought that was direct message.

1138
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 3: He came direct messaging that account Mets Links.

1139
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: And News, like there's no fucking way about his personal blog. That.

1140
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: I mean, with all due respect, I can't imagine that

1141
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: it's getting that many clicks to the point where someone

1142
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 2: would freaking out.

1143
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 3: What that account is a Mets news aggregator, Mets News

1144
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 3: and Links, so they gather a lot of things and

1145
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 3: people say about it even weirder than to send it

1146
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: to a links account. But that's what I mean. This

1147
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: was an intentional reply, but from the wrong account. And

1148
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 3: we know that Steve is active on Twitter, like there's

1149
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 3: no billionaire in the world. Yeah, it's literally besides the

1150
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 3: asshole that owns it, there's no one else who's no

1151
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 3: one with as much money who's as active on Twitter.

1152
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 3: So clearly he's like in the know a little bit.

1153
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: And when you're on Twitter, you want to say some stuff.

1154
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 3: I said, my dad put Twitter kind of for years ago.

1155
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 3: He tweets all the time.

1156
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: My dad too.

1157
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 3: It's just fun to like I can say some stuff

1158
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 3: into the world right now. So it's just crazy that

1159
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: we have an owner that's like talking about trade deadline

1160
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 3: plans accidentally on the internet on May fifteenth. But yeah,

1161
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 3: I also I don't think it's like the worst thing

1162
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 3: in the world, Like, I don't think it's that bad

1163
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 3: that he's like, oh, there's another lost season. We're again

1164
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 3: going to trade in assets and again build up a

1165
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 3: farm system that we just took from bottom ten to

1166
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 3: top ten. Let's keep pushing on it, especially the way

1167
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 3: that we're developing pictures right now, like keep going whatever,

1168
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 3: it's the last season. Yeah, it's just not there yet.

1169
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 3: It's definitely something to look into, definitely something that Detective

1170
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: James Shechiano will be on the case all season. Let

1171
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 3: me tell you, the day you have definitive evidence, we're

1172
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: getting on the podcast, we're ripping it and you're making

1173
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: bold claims. We're putting that shit on TikTok, we're putting

1174
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 3: on Instagram, YouTube shorts. We're blowing it up, and it's

1175
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 3: gonna it's gonna be our most viewed clip.

1176
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: Ever for sure. Totally. The bridges already burned. Now we

1177
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 2: can just have some time we're not going back to it.

1178
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: They're not hiring us back now. Ever.

1179
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 3: Again for everything I have to with this, Like I

1180
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 3: really don't think it's that bad that he's like tweeting

1181
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 3: it out to trade deadline, Like, yeah, I don't know,

1182
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 3: we have we have, we still have to assess, and

1183
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 3: like I do think that he probably still thinks because

1184
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 3: I'm sure the numbers of people in front office people

1185
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: are like, you know, we still have like a very

1186
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 3: similar playoff percentage as we did on opening day. Not

1187
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 3: much has changed. We got three games under five hundred.

1188
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 3: There's two teams are a division who are amazing. The

1189
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 3: rest of the National League is quite literal dog shit.

1190
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 3: I think the whole National League is four teams over

1191
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 3: five hundred. Like it's just there's an opening here, no

1192
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 3: one can hit.

1193
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: It still came out. That's this thing.

1194
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 3: It's still freezing in New York where they saying it

1195
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 3: hasn't pitched it and Christian Scott's only pitched I think thirteen.

1196
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: It's thirteen and a third or something.

1197
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 2: It's just it's a long way to go here.

1198
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 3: Like Francis condor'sitything one ninety eight, that's not gonna happen

1199
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 3: all season, Like, I think this team still has ample

1200
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 3: chance to make the playoffs. But it's just it's crazy

1201
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 3: that we live in a world we root for a

1202
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: team where the owner is yeah, trade deadline, will see

1203
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:44,919
Speaker 3: what happens. You can't blow it all up yet.

1204
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a pretty pretty crazy world for sure. This

1205
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 2: Mets team, this is this is gonna be a weird year.

1206
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 2: This could be so weird already, Like we know what,

1207
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: you know what it comes back to. We couldn't have

1208
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 2: been more right. They already they're exactly what we thought

1209
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: they were. But we like to get upset, we like

1210
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 2: to get excited. That's what Mets fans do. We overreact

1211
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: to the good, we overreact to the bad. And at

1212
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 2: the end of the day, they're a five hundred baseball

1213
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 2: team and right now they're what three games under five hundred.

1214
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 2: We might be looking next week and they might be

1215
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: twenty four and twenty three.

1216
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:20,479
Speaker 3: Like it's so ridiculous, And the schedule's being like objectively hard,

1217
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 3: like relative to the league, Like we already had to

1218
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 3: go out west the Braves and we already had six

1219
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 3: games against the Braves. That's four games against the Phillies

1220
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 3: for some of the best teams in the league. We

1221
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: haven't played the Marlins yet. Guy's just as we start

1222
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 3: transitioning to the season, the series preview going down to Miami.

1223
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 3: But it's just it's not it's not crazy yet, and

1224
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 3: the team's playing like shit and they're still hanging around

1225
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 3: like exactly where we expected them to hang around this

1226
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 3: like crazy love mostcycle going past my house, I won

1227
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 3: if you like dirt bike even oh they do this

1228
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 3: every single night, like between ten thirty and two. It's

1229
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,919
Speaker 3: just like see how fast you can go down James Stream,

1230
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: which like I'm sure, sure they're pushing one hundred miles

1231
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: an hour, But it's just I don't know, guys, Like,

1232
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: if you want to, like, I understand that, I think

1233
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 3: a lot of people have taken this amazing, amazing runs

1234
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 3: by the Knicks and the Rangers to be like, all.

1235
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 2: Right, let me give me a good month off the Mets.

1236
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: But we're not like that.

1237
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: We're second the head. If you guys listening to this,

1238
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 3: we appreciate you taking the ride with us. But once

1239
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 3: we got to June July, like, I don't think this

1240
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: team is again I'm echoing all the bullshit the Mets

1241
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 3: are saying. I don't think they're bad enough to just

1242
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 3: fall out. I think there's too many good players and

1243
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 3: this team to fall out, especially because again, National League

1244
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: fucking sucks.

1245
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 2: You gotta be fine stuck.

1246
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 3: As long as you just avoid these five game losing streaks.

1247
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 3: You find the five game winning streak here and there,

1248
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 3: like it's the same shit, You're gonna be right there.

1249
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 3: It's two games out on August fifteenth, Like, that's where

1250
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 3: it's gonna be. So just if you want to mentally

1251
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 3: fast forward to there, like, I respect you for it,

1252
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 3: but it's gonna be weirdly topsy turvy this whole way

1253
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 3: to go.

1254
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: We appreciate you here with us for it. Yes, and

1255
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 2: we've got a series going against the Marlins this weekend,

1256
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: to which if the Mets sweep, be back to five

1257
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 2: hundred and this Marlins team is bad. I don't care

1258
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: about the jinks anymore. We have no impact on what

1259
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 2: goes on on the field. So I'm gonna talk about

1260
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 2: the Marlins as truthfully as possible. I have to be

1261
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: truthful in my sayings. They're thirteen to thirty two. They're

1262
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: one of the worst teams in baseball and have played

1263
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 2: like one of the worst teams in baseball.

1264
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 3: And they have one of the worst rosters in baseball.

1265
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: This team up and down, it's not it's just not

1266
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 3: impressive at all. But to give you guys some pitching

1267
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 3: matchups for the series, We're gonna be blessed with aceoff

1268
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 3: on Friday night, So if you guys are blessed with

1269
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 3: two televisions, you'll be able to watch the Nicks end

1270
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 3: Christian Scott versus Hayes loose Lazar though, then Saturday four

1271
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: to ten, Brax and Garrett fresh off the aisle, I

1272
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: think a second or third start back versus Louis Severino,

1273
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 3: and then Sunday Matinee won for the.

1274
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 2: Who the hell what sanchest six though? Oh he's starving.

1275
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, six, So Sanchez ver Sean and I another ace Off.

1276
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 3: Keep that in there, that's good. Oh my god, I'm

1277
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 3: definitely gonna keep that in there.

1278
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I thought, when did he take him out

1279
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 2: of the bullpen? What he's made two starts in a rouw?

1280
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: I think can't be good? No, terrible, awful?

1281
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: Okay, nice, Sorry, I like that, but we're going down

1282
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 3: to Miami. That's a place that no one ever wants

1283
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 3: to play because there's nine people in attendance there.

1284
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: It's dark and grand house. Yeah, I packed the house

1285
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 2: with like sixty five hundred people. But again, this this

1286
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 2: Marlins team, a team that made the playoffs last year,

1287
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: is I don't want to say they're just ray because

1288
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 2: I think they're like, they're better than that. But they

1289
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 2: traded Luis rise By two weeks ago. You guys know,

1290
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 2: we talked about that in the show. He was objectively

1291
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: their best hitter, like him in Jazz and Jazz has

1292
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: turned on. He's hitting pretty well. He's being regular Jazz chis.

1293
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 3: Home, Brian de la Cruz in the lineup every day

1294
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: and having the best, the best start to a season

1295
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 3: he's ever had.

1296
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 2: Hit a whole round.

1297
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah he I mean he has nine this season. He's

1298
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 3: like fifth in the league. So it's like he's yeah,

1299
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 3: he's he's having a really good year. He's slugg at

1300
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 3: seven fifty right now, which again, if you guys heard

1301
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 3: in the beginning of the shows plugging seven fifty now,

1302
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 3: he's like slugging like eight to seventy five last year,

1303
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 3: So he's crushing the ball. Tim Anderson plays every day

1304
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 3: for them. He is abysmos out.

1305
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: Oh he's out, Yeah, which is maybe a good thing

1306
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: for them, honestly.

1307
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, great thing for them. Jake Berger's had a tough

1308
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 3: start to the year. I'm sure he'll get hot this weekend.

1309
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 3: V del Brewhun is playing a little bit. He's a

1310
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 3: he's pesky, he's fast, he's athletic.

1311
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 2: I got a good one for you. Does Christian Bettencourt

1312
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 2: get his OPS plus above zero after this series? He

1313
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 2: is currently an OPS plus of zero through twenty four games.

1314
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 2: He is hitting one two with a three forty eight ops.

1315
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: Does it go above or below zero after the series?

1316
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: Above above? Okay? I like that. Give him the reverse chinks.

1317
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just can't like they're they're not good. I'm

1318
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 3: just gonna give a lot of credit to guys who

1319
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 3: aren't that good. Like Jazz is still fun. He's a

1320
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: guy I'd love for the Mets to trade for if

1321
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 3: they do get back in this thing like that, that'd

1322
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 3: be amazing.

1323
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

1324
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's too stupid to make

1325
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 3: trade content now. If I could have done it like

1326
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 3: the day after the Luise rise, like yeah, would have

1327
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 3: made sense. But I'd love the fact to the guy

1328
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 3: who can like play all the outfitel positions and the

1329
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 3: middle infield to fit onto this roster. Like that guy's

1330
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 3: like what we think the best version of lease on

1331
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 3: hellcun you could be if even had power, but small

1332
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 3: seemsnoying as hell. They moved Ajpuck back to the bullpen.

1333
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 3: He's a good reliever again like Shocker, but it's just

1334
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: they they say, suck. Please just play good baseball. Please

1335
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 3: just don't make errors, get a few timely hits likeciscal indoor,

1336
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 3: please please do something and just just.

1337
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: Get on these guys. Keeping out for Otto Lopez too.

1338
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 2: He is a guy that was I think from the

1339
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 2: Blue Jays originally. He's bounced around to a couple different teams.

1340
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: He's barreling the ball at an as sounding rate right now,

1341
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: very small sample, but he has five barrels and I

1342
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 2: think like twelve games and he has three home runs,

1343
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 2: which is the only three home runs of his career.

1344
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 2: So would be crazy to find power as a twenty

1345
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 2: five year old in Miami. But he's doing something really

1346
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 2: impressive right now. So keep an eye out for him too.

1347
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Andrew Nardi and the bullpen's had a

1348
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 3: great season for the Marlins. He's always had some good stuff.

1349
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 3: The Marlins just had this onslaught of like interesting relievers

1350
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 3: that half of them can't find.

1351
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 2: The play whitest names ever, Tanner, Declan Birch, Calvin Braxton.

1352
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 2: I'm so I'm so happy they went out on a

1353
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 2: limit against Tanner, Scott and fancy baseball season.

1354
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 3: He's walking over twenty percent of hitters right now. So yeah,

1355
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 3: he's just he just doesn't want to play this and

1356
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 3: they had they actually roster. I don't know if he's

1357
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 3: still on the team. I know he's main appearance for

1358
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 3: them this year old friend Vladimir Guieiras. You guys might

1359
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 3: remember Flatiemir glude Aras from years ago.

1360
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: The spider tattoo. Yeah, they actually they did DFA. He's back.

1361
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: He's on the Red Sox now.

1362
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: Damn.

1363
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 2: I would love to see. He's got big spider in

1364
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 2: his neck right here. It's the craziest tattoo ever.

1365
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this team again, there's no reason not to

1366
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 3: take two, I three of this against the team, if

1367
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 3: not sweep them, I just just please just play well,

1368
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 3: just have a have a normal series like there's I'm.

1369
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 2: So focused on the Knicks tomorrow. I just can't. I can't.

1370
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: I can't even deal with it.

1371
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm so locked in the Rangers and I took it

1372
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: all out in this week. Oh my god, I can't

1373
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 2: wait to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow and

1374
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 2: watch the Knicks like which may be famous last words,

1375
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 2: but god, I'm so excited for that game.

1376
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 3: I just I think, I think if necessary Sunday, like,

1377
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a war. It's gonna be a war

1378
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 3: the guy in the series. But that's just just just

1379
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 3: you know, guys, just just keep just keep the water

1380
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 3: out of the boat until until the until the Knicks

1381
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 3: and Rangers have their dual championships.

1382
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 2: In terms of new reviews, we've got a couple new

1383
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 2: ones here. James h did we read When was the

1384
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 2: last episode we did? When did they come out Sunday? Okay?

1385
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 2: So then we got Richie Dordas, He's a legend. He

1386
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 2: came back with Love the Show, Pete a Lonzo take

1387
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: five stars. Hey, Mark and James Love the Show. Just

1388
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 2: wanted to share an opinion I have. Are we sure

1389
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: signing Pete long term? As smart? He's a one dimensional

1390
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 2: player approaching thirty and history shows doesn't work out well,

1391
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: guys like Christian Walker and joshre Naylor can replace him

1392
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 2: for cheaper. Plus, if you were truly in the Wan

1393
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 2: Soda sweepstakes, it wouldn't make sense from a financial standpoint.

1394
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: Quick thoughts, I literally agree with everything you're saying. Yeah,

1395
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 2: really great thoughts. Who said that, Richie Dordas.

1396
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, doordus so much. That's an amazing it's amazing.

1397
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 2: It's all good takes.

1398
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 3: Everything is really true. Like, I don't know if signing

1399
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 3: PiZZ Leys thirty eight years old is a good idea.

1400
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 3: If you have to sign Pete, it means you can't

1401
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 3: sign one, so I think it's a bad idea. It's

1402
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 3: also probably no guarantee of that, so I don't know.

1403
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 3: It's no decision we're making. That's why it's why payt

1404
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 3: David Stearn is a big bucks yet he's a great executive.

1405
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what's gonna happen. We'll find out. We

1406
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,959
Speaker 2: got another one here from It's Sean Oh best Mets

1407
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 2: podcast and it's not close five stars. Appreciate you, Sean.

1408

1414
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,000

1415
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 2: just recaps and they really bring the fan aspect to it. All.

1416

1445
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,719

1446
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 3: to London now in a few weeks again, so it'd

1447
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 3: be fun to do some English episodes. Mark, what happened

1448
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 3: to your daily baseball live stream? And why don't you

00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 3: weeks last year and they totally stopped.

1455
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning playing counter Strike every day. I

1456
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 2: think that's making sure pretty unproductive, along with the fact

1457
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 2: that dude, the fucking the Nicks and Rangers really are

1458
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,560

1459
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm so tired. I don't want to

00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 3: Every game's award and then you add the Mets game
