1
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Well, what is up, Mets Up listeners, We are here

2
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: for episode. I can't believe it, but we're already at

3
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: episode number twenty here on the Mets Sub podcast. I'm

4
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: your co host Draftneckmark, Mark Louino here with James Sheiano.

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Jeter had no range on Twitter, talking New York Mets

6
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: baseball as we do after every single series. Just finished up.

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: A series in Arizona against the Diamondbacks started off great,

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: a little bumpy in between, but we ended up winning

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: the series, getting the victory over the Diamondbacks in the

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: three game series. We grab two on our way to

11
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: San Diego a little bit later tonight, and we got

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about here because there have been

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: some great things going on in New York Mets baseball,

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: and there's a couple of things that are a little

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: bit of a concern. The farm is doing went well,

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: so we are covering all the bases in episode number twenty,

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: A big milestone for us. Not gonna lie. I didn't

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: know if we'd get to twenty episodes when I first started.

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: I've never done a podcast like this before, and typically

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm not great at really sticking on things like I

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: did series on my channel years ago, and I'd go

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: like fifteen sixteen episodes and then I go, I'm kind

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: of done with it the podcast game. I'm addicted, and

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm happy that we made it to twenty James, how

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: you feeling great?

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Appreciate that? And I feel a little weird you saying

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: you didn't think we'd make it to twenty. That's kind

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: of insulting. But this is fun. Nonetheless, No, it wasn't

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: more It.

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Wasn't really like a you know, you know, James wasn't

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna do good enough. It was more so of like

32
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: me being like, do I even like podcasting? I don't know,

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: but I've definitely caught a little bit of a bug here.

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Need to tell you guys before we get going into

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: the game. Of course, where to follow us social media

Speaker 1: to the Twitter. We hit one thousand followers on the Twitter.

45
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: That's a huge milestone for us, considering that this has

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: basically like been brought up from the ground up here

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: with really nothing besides like my social media presence and

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: James really killing it on the memes and everything like that.

49
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: So thank you for all the guys and all the

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: girls that have been following us, listening to us, and

51
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: showing us the support. We really do appreciate it. But

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: I think we're ready to start talking about what happened

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: in this series, right.

54
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely before we get into real baseball. I kind

55
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: of want I give a lot of weird stats every

56
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: single episode, with every single segment, I want to.

57
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: Give a weird stat about our listens.

58
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: As of earlier this afternoon, probably around twelve nonish, we

59
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: had the exact same amount of listens on Spotify and

60
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: Apple Music.

61
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: On this podcast.

62
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Wow, that is weird. How bizarre is that exactly split

63
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: down the middle? I'm assuming it's not fifty to fifty

64
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: what is it?

65
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: No, it's forty five, forty five and a couple of

66
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: Google podcasts and some other weird ones. I only remember

67
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: right now because they have us all on there and

68
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: you mentioned them before, so I will retch actively said

69
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: that we mentioned them.

70
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you guys for the listens. It's been growing

71
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: really steadily, which is nice, and I'm super excited to

72
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: see where this goes in the future. Game one Arizona Diamondbacks.

73
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: We're feeling good. We had Jacob de Gram on the

74
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: mound and he did Jacob de Gram things. He degominated again.

75
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, degomination was the word for. That was Monday. That

76
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: was too, Yeah, that was Monday.

77
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: Monday, Yeah, Monday.

78
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

79
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: It was one of those weird games. I kind of

80
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: remember it from the Harvey runs from back in the

81
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: day where you just had a no hitler vibe from

82
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: like the first inning of this game. Yeah, Like he

83
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: opened up the game with a couple of breaking balls,

84
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: I think the couple of slider here and there, and

85
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: then he had ten consecutive fastballs that rounded up two

86
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour right off the bat.

87
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: First ending of the game.

88
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was pumping early on throwing the fastballs as

89
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: he has pretty much all season long. In the first

90
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: inning he really does like to go with the fastball

91
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: heavy that ending and with these Arizona diamonback hitters. I

92
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: mean literally from pitch one, they looked completely overpowered. Like

93
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: you said, we thought it was gonna be no hitter

94
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: type night stuff. Obviously it didn't end up that way.

95
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I honestly don't even think that if he was throwing

96
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: a no hitter that they would have led him, because

97
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: I still think they want to kind of ease him

98
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: back a little bit. But he had no hitter stuff.

99
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: We say this, I feel like every time he's on

100
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: the mound. But I think the comparison to Harvey back

101
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: when we were in Arizona and he had like those

102
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: great few starts, I think that's a really good comparison

103
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: because that's what it felt like. It just he had

104
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: that aura around him where it's like you're just not

105
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: touching me.

106
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pure just domination from the jump. You

107
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: mentioned just now that he likes to like limit, like

108
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: you only use the fastball early in the game. He

109
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: kind of did that this entire game. He toyed with

110
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: this lineup and really like only was throwing fastballs in

111
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: some sliders. He only threw two pitches that weren't a

112
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: fastball and slider. The whole night, one change up and

113
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: one curve ball, his first curve ball the year. That

114
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: was nasty, even though he hasn't thrown it all year.

115
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: Dropped it them for a call strike, which is like,

116
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: that's not even fair.

117
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: It was at like ninety two, wasn't it as well?

118
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: Like it was like a fast curve ball.

119
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: It was like crazy, it was like really hard cutting too,

120
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: and just dropped right in the corner. It's like, how

121
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: can you do this? He only threw the fastball and

122
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: the slider. Like I said, they got the six innings AK,

123
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: two hits, no walks, and no runs. Of course, because

124
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gram he averaged one hundred miles an hour

125
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: on his fastball on Monday night. That's like I can't

126
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: even only have any words for that, Like what the fuck?

127
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: No, he's not human. He literally isn't human. Like it's

128
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: so great too, because there had always been like the

129
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, fear by some people in the baseball world

130
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: that Jacob de Gram's injury wasn't originally what the Mets

131
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: were saying. He's shown that. No, it really was like

132
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the was it. I don't know what this muscle's called

133
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: over here, that his lat or whatever it was, was

134
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: just sore. It's really just what it came down to.

135
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: Everything else seems to be fine and working great for him.

136
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: So all the people who were like all the Mets

137
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: are hiding stuff. Uh yeah, shove it. Jacob de Gram

138
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: looks sick. Best picture in baseball. And he just continued,

139
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: I just read one of the notes that you put here. Yeah,

140
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,559
Speaker 1: back to Domingo Laba. Yeah, that wasn't that literally wasn't fair.

141
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: No, I wrote those criminal because it was like Jacob

142
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: de Gram should go to the jail for what he did.

143
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: So it was named Domingo Leba, Dominica, Domingo Labia. Yeah,

144
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: Domingo Labia messed up after dark. But he just he

145
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: threw him three sliders in the exact same spot, basically

146
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: just varying their like height a little bit.

147
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 3: And their depth.

148
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: And after the first one that like started at the

149
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: bottom of the zone, it cut to his bank back ankle,

150
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: Labla stepped out of the box and was like fixing

151
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: his bat and gloves and he was like staring at

152
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: the Grom like all right, yeah.

153
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: I'm ready for this.

154
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm ready for this, and he proceeded to whiff at

155
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: the next two pitches that were exactly the same as

156
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: the first one. He had no chance. The booth was laughing.

157
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Keith was doing the game and he

158
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: was like, oh, this poor kid doesn't have a shot.

159
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: And he even entered the game without a hit on

160
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: the season. I think he's left this series still without

161
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: a hit on the season. It was just it wasn't fair.

162
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: No, they were so filthy that, like, there was just

163
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: no physical way Domingo Laba was going to touch those.

164
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: It looked like it was almost going to hit him.

165
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: That's how filthy they were that. I was like, dude,

166
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: you might have a better chance just standing there than

167
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: actually trying to physically hit the baseballs because it looked

168
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: like blitz balls, looks like whiffle balls, whatever you want

169
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: to call it. He was sick, and of course the

170
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: gram also does it with the bat because why not?

171
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: And now he gets it, Lady single.

172
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: That was so dumb one hundred and six miles an

173
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: hour off nuts.

174
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: What was the tweet you put up about that that

175
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: banged for you?

176
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a great tweet.

177
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: I got about almost over eleven hundred likes, which is

178
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: pretty cool and near my top of all time. But

179
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: I said that Jacob de Gram had the base hit

180
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and five point six off the bat his

181
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: hardest hip ball of the year, And then I said

182
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: that Anthony Renda's hardest hip ball of the year is

183
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: one hundred five point four miles an hour. So Jacob

184
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: de Gram has hit a ball hard than Anthony Rendon

185
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: this year. Anthony Rendon of MVP caliber third baseman formerly

186
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: the Nationals now with d Angels. Just to show how

187
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: hard da Graham actually hit that ball, how much you

188
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: earned that single? I think he's nine for nineteen on

189
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: the season as it stands right now.

190
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: I think nine for nineteen or nine for twenty, which

191
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: is disgusting because he's basically hitting five hundred.

192
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: So we have to get the guy qualified for the

193
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: batting title. He should DH whenever we play the American

194
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: League teams.

195
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 1: That would be so funny if like Jacob de Gram

196
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: somehow gets the minimum at bats to qualify and it's

197
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: like he's hitting four to seventy five, what are we

198
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: gonna do?

199
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: How could Jacob de grams wrs through the.

200
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: Roof and not only his bat but the entire bats.

201
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: They woke up the bats were hot. We talked about

202
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: it's a great stadium and a great team to go

203
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: into swinging the bat well, and the Mets continue to

204
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: swing the batwell all series long. And it got started

205
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: in Game one. Pete first game back was huge for

206
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: RBIs and he was just smoking the ball all over

207
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: the place.

208
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can't even describe how important it has been

209
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: these last three days to get Pete Alonzo back with

210
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: this team. We saw it today firsthand, which we'll get

211
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: to as we return. But he put the team on

212
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: his back. Monday night, when the offense was fine, but

213
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: they weren't really getting the clutch hits. He came through

214
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: with four RBIs. He put two balls in play at

215
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: least one hundred and seven miles an hour. Like, that's

216
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: what we need Pete to do. He needs to be

217
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: the bopper in the middle of our order, who's driving

218
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: people in, getting people home.

219
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 3: We need that in his line so bad.

220
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: We've been missing that for a couple of weeks now

221
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: since he's been out and a lot of the other

222
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: guys have been out, especially good four though, and him

223
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: filling that void was monumental.

224
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: We got some runs off of McCann and Lindoor as well,

225
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: who were swinging the bat very well. Lindor putting one

226
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: off the top of the out in the left center

227
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: field that's like four hundred and fifteen feet away. He

228
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: had to find the deepest part of the park. But

229
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Lindor started swinging the bat really really well this series.

230
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: Game one, got it started, had some really good swings,

231
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: really good at bats. He's still not one hundred percent there,

232
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: but we're getting closer and closer. It's good to see

233
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: that we're starting to get the middle of our order

234
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: really like back into the groove of things. Even Dom

235
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: was getting hits. McCann Like I said, those guys getting

236
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: hits allows the dudes in the bottom of the order

237
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: to be the bottom of the order guys, they don't

238
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: have to step up as much. And then when they do,

239
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: you get a game like Game one where you're able

240
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: to get the win. Because that's what happened. Everybody on

241
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: this team stepped up Game one.

242
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody.

243
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: I think what we're trying to get tough right now

244
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: is Billy Bomb's Billy McKinney being like this scrappy bottom

245
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: of the other type of guy that a guy like

246
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: Billy McKinney can be who becomes very important to this

247
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: team when he had to clutch home run the late

248
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: innings and it lifts everybody up. Your tweet, bangs, when

249
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: you said that Billy Bombs, you may up a nickname.

250
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Billy Bombs. He will only be called that for

251
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. We like the nickname over

252
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: here as well, that he's a competent major league based player,

253
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: which is eventually going to become a T shirt I think.

254
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: But Billy Bombs is a ballplayer. He's really like. He

255
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: is another one of those guys that he's gonna give

256
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Al Moore a run for his money for that lake

257
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: last outfielder spot on this team when everybody's healthy, and

258
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: even a guy like Mason Williams looked really good this weekend.

259
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: He got a nice hit in Game one. He plays

260
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: a good center field, made that sick catch against Domingo Laba,

261
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: who absolutely smoked the ball to center. We didn't see

262
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: it because the camera angles were terrible in Arizona. But

263
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: all these guys really stepped up in Game one, and

264
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Billy Bombs was one of the bigger guys to do it.

265
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: Definitely, we probably don't I mean, I don't want to.

266
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: Say we don't win that game because we were winning anyway,

267
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: but his home run actually made it become comfortable. And

268
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: another guy you forgot to mention Piazza Raza pa two

269
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: balls and play over ninety five miles an hour too,

270
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: a couple hits like he has been very important to

271
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: the way this team is running, the way this bomb

272
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: the order continues to turn. That continues to help us

273
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: win games as our offense has lifted up in the

274
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks and now we've become one of

275
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: the better teams in baseball runners and scoring position. It's

276
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: funny how that garbage stat works.

277
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: And then we also got to talk about the Ilar brothers.

278
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan VR just continuing to be a maniac. He got

279
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: picked off in the first inning again, which was the

280
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: theme of the series. But he's getting on base, which

281
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: is just something Jonathan VR doesn't do. He's doing that.

282
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: And then we got the return of Kevin Pillar and

283
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: he got a hit because why not, because Kevin Pilar

284
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: is Rip Hamilton except he's actually Psycho.

285
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: And how he's gotten a couple hits.

286
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: How we had a great comment about Jonathan VR during

287
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: the call today where he said Jonathan VR has actually

288
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: assumed two very important roles for this team. Where he's

289
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: become theday every day third baseman, which is something this

290
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 2: team lacked heading into the season, and that's very important

291
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: and he's done that admirably. But also he's assumed the

292
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: leadoff role that's been vacant since Nimo went down, and

293
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: I wasn't extremely confident Jonathan VR would be able to

294
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: take on that role, especially given his free swinging nature

295
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: and kind of rambunctious past, and we've seen a lot

296
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: of that as he's been.

297
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: On this team. But he's been great. He's been fantastic.

298
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: This is a guy who's had h like was known

299
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: around the league for having bad at bats, and seemingly

300
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: he's become very patient but like aggressive. He's selective, you know,

301
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: and that's something that you would have never said about

302
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan VR prior to this season. The weird thing that

303
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: did happen in this game, though, was we got Trevor

304
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: May coming off another rough outing. Miguel Castro had to

305
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: clean it up for him. May's just really not feeling

306
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: it right now. I don't know. I haven't been able

307
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: to look at it. Deeply. I don't know if it's

308
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: a mechanical thing. I don't know if it's pitch selection.

309
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just hey, listen, some guys

310
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: are just hitting him. Sometimes you get unlucky. But he

311
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: hasn't had a clean appearance in what feels like a

312
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.

313
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I talked about it a little bit on Twitter.

314
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: I think that was yesterday. It's been a long week.

315
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: But he just it hasn't seemed to be able to

316
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: locate his fastball since the calendar turned, which is kind

317
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: of ironic because we gave him our messed up podcast

318
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: Macho med of the Month last month.

319
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: No one needs to know that anymore.

320
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, because now I gave it to n

321
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: though too coming into this month, and he's also had

322
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: two pretty bad days since it happened, and he's being.

323
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: Usurped by James mccannon again.

324
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: But May just isn't really finding the tight location on

325
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: his fastball that he was very good at doing the

326
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: first month of the season, where he was just peppering, peppering, peppering, bank, bank, bank,

327
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: top of his zone.

328
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: Top middle.

329
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: No one was hitting it because he throws gas and

330
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: has tons of ride, which is very effective.

331
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: He's either been like putting.

332
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: A two high or two inside now, which is getting

333
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: him behind and counts just slightly more. That forces him

334
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: to probably get a little more scared, throw us fastball

335
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: down the middle, try to use more of his off

336
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: speed stuff, which is not really his bread and butter,

337
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: and that's causing him to be less effective, probably causing

338
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: him to get a little tighter, a little tenser.

339
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's all playing into it.

340
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: I haven't dove deeply into it similarly to you, but

341
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: there's clearly something wrong and I think that starts a

342
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: fastball location.

343
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: And we saw that again in Game two.

344
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Game two was Yeah, that one hurt. That was

345
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: a loss that kind of ripped your heart out a

346
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: little bit. That was a very winnable game by the Mets.

347
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: Everything was going right at the start. We got off

348
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: to a fantastic start. Dom hit a home run in

349
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: the fourth, crushed it, which is great because Dom finally

350
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: used his fucking hips and what do you know, Dom

351
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: crushed it. He was able to elevate the ball drive.

352
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: It was a right center field He hit it onto

353
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: like that like weird upper deck thing. Absolutely destroyed it.

354
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: We got a triple from Lindor in the sixth, Dom

355
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: got another sack fly Vr was hitting the baseball around

356
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: the park. I mean like everything was clicking again offensively

357
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: for this team. Guys were starting to look better. Stroman

358
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: was pitching good, and then the little spat happened with

359
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: Josh Rojas. And as much as we love that Stroman

360
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: wears his hard on the sleeve, sometimes it seems like

361
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: it can maybe be a negative because it seemed like

362
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: after that happened, Stroman lost his focus a little bit.

363
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

364
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this was a Diamonbacks team that had lost fourteen

365
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: out of fifteen games, and they were again getting crushed

366
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: as the fourth inning was ending on Tuesday night. I

367
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: just again, it's so important that Dom and Lindor have

368
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: been hitting well. We've been banging this drum for a

369
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: couple weeks now. Those guys being good, like being what

370
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: they are, being what they should be and what they

371
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: could be, We'll take this team where it will be.

372
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: Do that.

373
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: But after the game last night, Josh Rojas admitted to

374
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: the media that he really didn't have any problem with

375
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: anything going on. He just wanted to create some animosity

376
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: to start something just to get his team riled up,

377
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: and it did exactly that, exactly that, and I guess

378
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: you respect as a baseball fan something like that happening.

379
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: I was watching just as a weird tangent. I was

380
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: watching Pedro Martinez highlights earlier today because tomorrow, today, hopefully

381
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: when you guys are listening to this, or possibly yesterday,

382
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: is going to be the twenty six year anniversary of

383
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: Pedro's ten income perfect game that was blown because the

384
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: Expos couldn't get a hit.

385
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: So I just was down a YouTube rabbit hole of.

386
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Pedro highlights, and there was a game where he was

387
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: I think it was They're playing the Phillies, and he

388
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: hit a guy, Jeffries, right in the ribs a game

389
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: the end of the season, probably just the past, I

390
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: don't remember. Greig Jeffries, Dalt Jefferies, adult Jefers, a gay

391
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: in the A's who cares whatever hit him in the

392
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: rips happens, nineties baseball whatever. Next that bat, Pedro's up

393
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: with a sack, trying to sack bump with a guy

394
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: on first pitcher throws one right at pagri knees.

395
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: He's like, WHOA every easy?

396
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: There? He looks at him, He stares him down, drops

397
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: the bat, ump ump warns Pedro, ump warns the pitcher, YadA, YadA.

398
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: Next pitch behind Pedro's back, he looks at the guy,

399
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: takes off his helmet, chucks it at him, and just

400
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: a bear hug and just both betches clear going at

401
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: it like sometimes you just gotta get the guys fired up.

402
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: You can't let your team get batted down like that

403
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: without creating some fire. And johnf Rowa has created fire

404
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: and it really changed this game.

405
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it changed the game. We saw Pavin Smith hit

406
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: an at Paven Pavin. I think it's Pavin, right, I

407
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: think it's Paving.

408
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: It could be Pavin, I don't know.

409
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Whatever, whatever it is, Pavin Smith, I'm gonna call him.

410
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: First off, he's a ballplayer. He's very good. He's one

411
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: of the most underrated rookies in this league because no

412
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: one's talking about him when you're talking about the young

413
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: town in baseball right now. He's really good. First off,

414
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: his eye that plate is incredible. He has just got

415
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: really really good discipline, works walks, and we got to

416
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: see a little bit of that power in Game two

417
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: where he crushed a home run off Stroman three run

418
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: homer made a four to three game changed everything, Like

419
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: the they definitely got a little you know, fired up

420
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: from Osh Rojas and whatever appened there the kerfuffle between

421
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: him and Shroman. But then Peven Smith's home run was like, oh,

422
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: we got a ball game again, Like there was a

423
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: there was a good chance that Met's coulda put this

424
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: team to bed real quickly.

425
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

426
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: And this can take me into my Marcus Stroman breakdown

427
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: because that inning, I believe that happened in the sixth

428
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: that was top six. Yeah, that was That was the

429
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: beginning of the third time through the order for Marcus Stroman.

430
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: And something that we've we've spoken about a lot with

431
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 2: Stroman this year is mixing up his pitches and he

432
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: did not do that yesterday. It was sinker, sinker and sinker.

433
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: Almost half of his pitches the entire game were sinkers.

434
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: And that inning, with the top of the order coming up,

435
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: he gave up back to back singles to Marte and Escobar.

436
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't back to back to the might have been

437
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: someone else top of that word that he got out

438
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: because I don't think it was.

439
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Maybe like Tim Lacastro or something.

440
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, maybe he could have even been Rojas.

441
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 2: But he gave up those base knocks, both to Katel

442
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: and Eduardo Escobar on sinkers. And this was a theme

443
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: because he was throwing sinkers all night. Sixteen of the

444
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: first pitches of at bats in that game yesterday were sinkers.

445
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: He goes very rarely behind in the count, but even

446
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: when he was over, sixty percent of the pitches behind

447
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: the count were sinkers. And again I'm now seeing in

448
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: the notes that smith home run was also on a sinker.

449
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: So all three of those hits Bang Bang Bang were

450
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: sinker sinker sinker sinkers.

451
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: Like I wish with a.

452
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: Guy like Stroman, who has so many good pitches, who

453
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: we've seen all his pitches on display so many times

454
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: this season, just use a couple more. This Diamondbacks lineup

455
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 2: is not very good, so you would think you can

456
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: get by with against them with a very sinker heavy

457
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: Arsenal trying to keep your pitch count down like we

458
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: saw him do in Colorado back in April, that series

459
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: of cores. But this lineup does have a few hitters

460
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: who can hurt you and that sixth inning. Those three

461
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 2: guys Kutelles Kutel Marte, Eduardo Wescobar and Pavin Smith. Those

462
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: are three guys who have proven they can hurt you,

463
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: and they hurt him on sinkers, and I just don't

464
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: get why he was sticking with that pitch for so long.

465
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was especially against like all lefties two, which

466
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: was interesting as well to note that inning they're all

467
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: swinging left handed because they're all switchy switch hitters, and

468
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: then Peven Smith is a right or lefty. Just in general,

469
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: he really felt like he's cruising and I guess you're right,

470
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: like he just probably got a little too predictable. And

471
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: they are those three guys are good major League baseball players.

472
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: I know you're not a huge EDWARDO wesco bar guy,

473
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: but he's playing well.

474
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 2: I know he's a good hitter. Like at the end,

475
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I don't think he's like I don't know.

476
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: There are people on Metz Twitler saying like this is

477
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: a guy the metrico after like we was trying to

478
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: get a wire the rescue bar. He could be like

479
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: a real third basement moving forward, He's not that he

480
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: oscillates a lot, he strikes out too much, doesn't make

481
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: enough hard contact. He's an extra base in machine, though

482
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: he leads the league of rbs, which I've said time

483
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: and time agains him. Was Useles stat in baseball, but

484
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: he still doesn't. And he's I mean, he's playing the

485
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: ball in gaps a decent amount. He's a fine player,

486
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: fine player. He's a two to three win player most years.

487
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: After the guy though that you can't just be throwing

488
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: sinkers too constantly. Same thing with k Tell Marte, who's

489
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: just he was hot before he got on the IL

490
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: and he's been hot since he got off of it.

491
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: Could tell Marte is a bona fide star.

492
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: If he wasn't playing in Arizona, everybody would think that

493
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 2: he's one of the better players in baseball. I think

494
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: back to our MLB the show franchise we ran last

495
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: year during Quarantine, where he was the leadoff hitter on

496
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: your Yankees for a collection of years. The guy is

497
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: a star. But Stroman, you just can't have this deviation,

498
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: of this lack of deviation among his pitches. He threw

499
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: forty one sinkers seventeen slide. There's twelve splithers, which is cool.

500
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: He threw twelve splitthers, second most any outing this year,

501
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: but twelve colors seven fastballs.

502
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: That you can't have that scale. You can't have that scale.

503
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: You're not going to be successful against, as we've said,

504
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: competent major league kickers, which those guys.

505
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: Are, and it was just it was tough, but we

506
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: still had the lead. Familiar I think came in next, right.

507
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: I think Familiar was the next guy of the pen,

508
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: and Familia is my boy. We know, I'm a big

509
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: familiar guy here. He's back, he's good, his tough is filthy.

510
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: He threw I don't remember what sinker or who it

511
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: was like. I think for a strikeout through a sinker

512
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: that looked like it was about like a curve ball,

513
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: the way that it moved, how much it broke. But

514
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: it came in at ninety nine miles an hour. He

515
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: started at the guy's belt and ended at his feet.

516
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: When Familia is clicking and has that velo and has

517
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: that movement, you simply cannot hit the ball hard against him. Now,

518
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: of course, it's still kind of vintage Jerry's Familia, as

519
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: you said, because there was an error, there were some

520
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: doinky hits here and there, and like that's just kind

521
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: of what happens. But he still gets the job done.

522
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: Definitely. I just wanted to reference the whole vintage.

523
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: Familiar thing that people say all the time, especially the

524
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, as he's been very good, which

525
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: in a sense is vintage familia, because he had some

526
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: very good seasons for the Mets twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,

527
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 2: beginning of twenty sixteen, one of I'm gonna say, one

528
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: of the better relievers in baseball, but a very good reliever.

529
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: No, he was during the time. He was one of

530
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: the better.

531
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe yeah, top fifteen, top half. No, he was

532
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: top five, top five? Are you outside of your mind?

533
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: He's top five?

534
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: All right, we'll maybe talk about so off air because

535
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: I'll have his statistics to back this up.

536
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: Whatever.

537
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: But this whole vintage Familia line cracks me up because

538
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: it's all it's only brought up when he has an

539
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: inning that makes me want to die and it's like

540
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: second and third, one out, one count, or it's like,

541
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: what's happening right now? I can never get comfortable your's

542
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: familia on the mount. He gets the job done. He's

543
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: been doing it this year, but he makes me want

544
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: to gouge my eyes out most of the time because

545
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: I'm just terrified for my life.

546
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: As I never doubt outing never doubt Jerry's familia. That

547
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: is my boy. He's been killing it. He's been good.

548
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: And then we got to get Loop in to face

549
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: lefties for what seems like the first time ever. Also

550
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: diving back is to a horrible job of spreading out

551
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: their lefties throughout that lineup. They love to stack like

552
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: four in a row, and it's like, you don't need to, Like,

553
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: you have the switch hitters too that are so talented.

554
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: Just put him up a little bit. But Lup did good,

555
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: which was nice because he'd been I don't want to

556
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: say struggling a little bit, because he's still having a

557
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: very solid season for the Mets, but it hadn't been

558
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: as lights out as you would hope, which I guess

559
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of also not fair to really say.

560
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you asked a Mets fan at random, especially

561
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: one in the age bracket between forty and fifty five,

562
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: they would tell you that Aaron Loup has a five.

563
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: R Oh yeah, no, they have no clue. He said,

564
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: what two to three. I think he is four.

565
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been awesome his walks.

566
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: I think he like hasn't given up any hits and

567
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: he's striking out like more than a batter every inning.

568
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: So it's like the stuff is there. It's just he's

569
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: our you know, tenth guy or eighth guy on of

570
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: the bullpen, whatever it is, but he's not.

571
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 3: He's kind of the fifth I guess I get.

572
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: Just for lefties though, yeah.

573
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: I know. But again, it was good to see him

574
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: actually use the situation where he could use that. I

575
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: think they call it a color even though it's kind

576
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: of a slyder against the it's great.

577
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: It's great to watch him do that.

578
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: He's underrated, he's unherald it, and I think he's gonna

579
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: be big piece moving forward that we're gonna get to

580
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: the bad part of this game.

581
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: Things we have to discuss.

582
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: Our bats went dead quiet against a poor Diamondbacks bullpen,

583
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: and it left us with our hinds uncovered in a situation.

584
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: Redmond Diez was on in a one run game, something

585
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: he's been very good at this year. He hadn't blown

586
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: to save it all coming into the night, and then

587
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: I guess I'll let you take this from here, because

588
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 2: it's this point you've been harping on.

589
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there was a play. Who hit it? I

590
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: don't remember who exactly does was it? It was someone

591
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: who hit it down the line. I think it was

592
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: a writing Maybe it was Nickamed. It was Nickamed. So

593
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: Nikamed's up in the ninth inning, and like a baseball

594
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: cardinal rule or whatever, some one of these unwritten rule things.

595
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: But it's just like kind of like playing no doubles

596
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: outfield in the defense and or no doubles outfield, no

597
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: doubles defense in the outfield. Oh my god, I struggle

598
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: with that. It's kind of like doing that with the infield.

599
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: You guard the lines. And this is the thing you'll

600
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: hear Keith talk about NonStop in the ninth inning when

601
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: he sees teams not doing it. Oh geez, not guarding

602
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: the lines in the ninth inning, like you couldn't catch

603
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: me dead. And I agree with him. And it ended

604
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: up hurting us this sitting because Nikomed squirted one down

605
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: the first base line. It ended up getting to the wall.

606
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: McKinney made the error and that's really what turned it

607
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: from a single into a double. But it was also

608
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: a ball that was preventable from getting a hit because

609
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: if you guard the lines like you do in baseball,

610
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: typically it's not a hit at all. Pete A. Lonzos

611
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: takes one step to the left field, it throw it first,

612
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: he's out. So me and James were having this argument here,

613
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: and you know argument, it's lighthearted, not really that mad,

614
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: but James is very much on the side of one.

615
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: McKinney's got to make that play, which I agree. I

616
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: definitely agree on that. I think McKinney can't make that

617
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: air there. It's huge. But he's saying that we have

618
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: all this information and that knowing where these guys hit

619
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: and having all that information and it's worked for us

620
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: all year, don't start doing guarding the lines, and especially

621
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: because it would have stopped the next guy who hit

622
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: one in the hole. And if your guarden lines, p

623
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have gotten there. So it ends up kind

624
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: of becoming a mood point because it doesn't really matter.

625
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: But I'm still guarding the lines, James is, you know,

626
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: listen to the shifts, listen to the numbers. I'm interested

627
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: to hear what you guys think. So tweet us at

628
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: mets up let us know, if you're four guarding the

629
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: lines or if you want to stick with the shifts,

630
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: live and die by it, it's a good way to

631
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: drive some interaction there.

632
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: James.

633
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: I'll let you say you're a piece here though, because

634
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: I feel like I talked for you a little bit.

635
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've taken most of the words out of my mouth,

636
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: so I appreciate that. But I just I don't know.

637
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: The shift has been so instrumentally important to the Mets

638
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: defense of success this season, and we have so much

639
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 2: data at our disposal. Not we are, but the modern

640
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: baseball organization. They the modern baseball organization is more advanced

641
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: than financial organizations even ten years ago. Like we have

642
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: that much of their finger they have that much of

643
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: their fingertips. So I think that I kind of think

644
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 2: that the old guarding the Lions mantra is something that

645
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: is done in lower levels of baseball, be a little league,

646
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: high school ball, club ball, when you don't really have

647
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: an awareness of every single ball. The guy on the

648
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: other side of the field is put in play every

649
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: single time he's been the plate in his adult life.

650
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: So you do that because you don't have another defensive

651
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: move to make like that is my chess move at

652
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: this point in the game. Rather than perfectly lining my

653
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: defense to where you always hit the ball, I'm guarding

654
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: the lions because that's like an overarching defensive strategy. The

655
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: way we shift in baseball now is that you are

656
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: guarding hits every single play. And we saw that the

657
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: next a bat when Pete just made a nice one

658
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: hot pick in the exact same position on the next

659
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 2: ball and the corners of the outfield were still pinched on.

660
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: Then nick I met that bat, and that's how Bill

661
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: mca and he was able to cut that ball off

662
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: with plenty of space to the wall. And if he

663
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 2: just puts that ball in his glove and throws to

664
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: the cutoff man, Nick got Messina on second base the

665
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: single by I don't remember.

666
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: I think it was.

667
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Well, it would have been double play on the peak

668
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Alonzo grandble Ah. Well he would have help hold him up.

669
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying, no matter what, then the guy who got

670
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: the hit, it wouldn't have driven in a run.

671
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: No.

672
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: So I support the process of having our defense aligned

673
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: where we where the Mets think they should be aligned

674
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: every single play, rather than guarding the alliance. And that

675
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: maybe against like the old baseball tenements. Keith would not

676
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: be happy if he ever heard this. I know he's listening,

677
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry to Keith Hernandez, but I'm very fine

678
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: with the process that allowed that run to score.

679
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Honestly, though, like at the end of the day, it

680
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: saved one hit, it didn't save another. Whatever it would

681
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: have been. Diaz just didn't have his best stuff last night,

682
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: which is okay because he really has been so cash

683
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: money in all slave save situations. If there was a

684
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: game to do it, sure, whatever ripped my heart out.

685
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: It was terrible, it was miserable. But the Mets then

686
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: got a chance in the tenth and my guy James

687
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 1: McCann coming through with a little number of a double.

688
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't call it a number, but he

689
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: just smacked it, got a little smacker and he got

690
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: a nice little double there was able to drive in

691
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: a run give us a one run lead. Unfortunately, in

692
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: classic Mets fashion, we kept him at second base. We

693
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: didn't score him because we do tends up with runners

694
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: in scoring position. But then we got to the tenth

695
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: and Trevor mey Camen, which was to everyone's surprise, and

696
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were expecting Lugo. I

697
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: know I was. I don't know if were you expecting Lugo.

698
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting Lugo just because I figured they wouldn't

699
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: bring him back in a high leverage situation, even though

700
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 2: they didn't bring him back a Monday in a low

701
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: leverage situation. So I guess they were looking for the

702
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: medium leverage which they got today, which.

703
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: Also wasn't though medium leverage, like it was only medium

704
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: leverage because it was what the fifth and sixth inning,

705
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: but like he got so much stressful at bats in

706
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: a tight game. So to me, it felt like if

707
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: Lugo wasn't ready to pitch in those high leverage situations,

708
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: is which which is what we need him for, don't

709
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 1: activate him yet, Like there was no reason that they

710
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: had to have had him activated Monday and Tuesday if

711
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: they weren't going to use him, And that to me

712
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: felt a little foolish one hundred percent.

713
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: But I think there are two issues far greater than

714
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: not using Seth Lugo. On the first issue, which I

715
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: touched on before, is the Mets needed to do better

716
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: against his Dimbeck's bullpen.

717
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Yes we didn't.

718
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: Again, you need to get more than one run in

719
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: the tenth inning, especially when you get a lead offt double.

720
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: So even with one run in, it says if the

721
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: extra ending rule was still intact, where we had a

722
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: guy in second, no outs and the Mets did not score,

723
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: which they've made a habit of doing over the last

724
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: few weeks, where even with the triple A lineup, the

725
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: Mets have been putting out and now the quadruple lineup

726
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: that we've upgraded to, it's not good enough.

727
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: It's just not good enough.

728
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 2: And going into that tenth where you allow that tenth

729
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: where you knew I rote eleventh on here, it was

730
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: the tenth where you knew Castor was burned. Diaz was burned,

731
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: and May had a twenty six pitch ending the night before.

732
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: That was stressful, and he was ineffective. Again he's been

733
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: repeatedly ineffective. It wasn't going to be enough and just

734
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: proved not to be enough. You just got beat. Mets

735
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: got beat one of those classes West Coast games, and

736
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: the Mets seem to lose every single season.

737
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: Usually it's in May.

738
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: This year it happened to be in June barely, but

739
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: he just got beat and it's so Josh Reddick.

740
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate that bastard, such a schmuck, a cheater.

741
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: He's a cheater, and that ball was foul. That ball's foul.

742
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: Can I like it's it's modern, it's twenty twenty one,

743
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: and we can't get a camera angle that is in

744
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: every stadium that's on the fucking foul line. The angles

745
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: that we were getting from the Diamondbacks. You're like, where

746
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: are these behind the seats in the left in left field?

747
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: Like why are we one so far away from the line,

748
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: And two you're not straight on with it. So even

749
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: if you do get a good view of the ball,

750
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: you don't actually know if it's on that line or

751
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: to the left of it. Also, one of the problems

752
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: with playing on turf field the lines aren't painted. It's

753
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: not chalk, they're painted on there. So when it hits

754
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing that comes up. It's just simply like I

755
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: hope it hit white or I hope it hit green,

756
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: Like that's it. That was a foul ball. But also whatever.

757
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: But also it's like poetic justice on the anniversary of

758
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: Johanns No hit it, yeah, no, which is kind of funny.

759
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: It's like irony like ten outs. Ten Mets fans of like,

760
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: I'll take them. Not Hey, they're over the d Backs

761
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: game in June.

762
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, thousand, Yeah, I mean we didn't have one. I'll

763
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: take one. We lose, we lose to the Diamonbacks all

764
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: the time, whatever, or we beat them. I guess, yeah, the.

765
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: DIA Every year every year the Mets lose at least

766
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: the games of Diamonbacks.

767
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: I'll take it. This had to be it.

768
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: Whatever, I don't really care happens.

769
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: And luckily for us Game three.

770
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's move on to game three.

771
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: I think one of the key stories in this game

772
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: is this being a YouTube game, one of the few

773
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: that MLB puts out every year. Our boy Mark had

774
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: a feature spot in the chat which was a ton

775
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: of fun talking to Omar Menaya, former general manager.

776
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: Got to talk to Omar me and him go way back.

777
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: A little fun story here about Omar Manaya. I went

778
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: to a Man City Chelsea game at Yankee Stadium. Shout

779
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: out to Cole Phillips. His dad was VP of Legends

780
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: at the time. We showed up early to the game

781
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: because we had a suite, and when we walked in,

782
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, who are these fourteen year old kids?

783
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: Cole goes, oh, my dad is you know? And he

784
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: says the dad's name, and they freaked out. They had

785
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: a panic attack because they're like, oh my god, this

786
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: is my boss, Like we have to get these guys

787
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: exactly where they need to be. Everyone was supposed to

788
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: get one Chelsea flag. They handed us like a palette

789
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: of them. We each gave him home with like twenty

790
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: five thirty flags. And after the game, we're riding the

791
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: elevator down from the suite. Omar Mania and his son

792
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: get on the on the elevator with us, and I go,

793
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,239
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's Omar Manaiah. Like as even as

794
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old, I knew who that guy was,

795
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: put together the great two thousand and six Mets. But

796
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: him and his son go, where'd you guys get those flags?

797
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: We didn't get any. I go, Omar, I got like thirty, dude,

798
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: take them, like please. So I gave Omar Maranaya and

799
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 1: his son, Justin Manaya, who's now a basketball player at

800
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Another weird connection there, gave him some flags.

801
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: So it's good to talk to Omar again. Talking some

802
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: farm a lot of people ask him good questions about

803
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: what it's like to be a GM, even though he's

804
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: not that anymore. But it was cool. It's always interesting,

805
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: and you know, really, I don't want to say like

806
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: cool because that's the kind of lame, but like, it's

807
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: it's fun to interact with guys that do have such

808
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: an insight on like the everyday like intertwinings of the

809
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: New York Mets organization, especially a guy who was so

810
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: impactful in two thousand and six. So that was cool.

811
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fascinating.

812
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 2: Lamarm and I, while he called a lot of flak,

813
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: built some great Mets teams, and he created like a

814
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: real foundation of youth that the Mets didn't regain until.

815
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: This current core.

816
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: So it's you have to kind of give some credit

817
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: words due it's Omar and I and his team building process.

818
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: And one of the I thought, one of the really

819
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: cool things that he said was that one of the

820
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: hardest things about being a GM was that he loved scouting,

821
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: that that's his true passion is scouting talent, and that

822
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: when he was a GM, he couldn't really go out

823
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: and scout too much because he was too busy handling

824
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: like day to day operations, So I thought that was

825
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: one really cool thing, and I think the Mets have

826
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: kept him around as a scout. I think he's still

827
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: part of the organization.

828
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: He was definitely part of the organization during the Brothy years,

829
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: and he was chatting today from the New York Mets

830
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: official handle, so he's at least affiliated with the team

831
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: in some capacity, which is fine. I like having Omar around.

832
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: He got some talent. But now back to the game.

833
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: It was like poetic justice, like an exorcism to jump

834
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: on mass a Bumgarner early.

835
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: It was beautiful.

836
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: It felt so good, like, oh, they came out and

837
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: they got I think six straight hits. Fuck you Bob

838
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: Knight and Gale. He tweeted out six straight hits by

839
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: the Mets immediately a double play, So fuck that guy.

840
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: You want to do the Bower shit, then you're gonna

841
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: do this. Fuck you Bob Knight and Gale stand by that.

842
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: But everybody was swinging the bat. Well, VR getting off

843
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: to a hot start, smoked it off the wall and

844
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: left field somehow only got a single, but it's literally

845
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: because he hit it too hard and La Castro played

846
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: it perfectly. So he started off with a very long single,

847
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: fought up by Lindor roping a ball for a single.

848
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: We got Pete Alonso coming up. He got a single,

849
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: I believe, or no or James McCann, James A. Ka

850
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: was sitting three. Yes, James McCann crushes it. Yard Donger

851
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: destroyed my boy.

852
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: James McCann has five extra base hits in his last

853
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: five games. The catcher I always knew was in there.

854
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 2: The hitter I always knew was in there. It's great

855
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: to have him back.

856
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: I think he's hitting close to five hundred over the

857
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: last like seven days, which is great.

858
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: Because like seven for seventeen or something crazy like that.

859
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 2: Five games hit lacing the ball, his.

860
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: Average is up to like two thirty. Yeah, just like

861
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: that one game. Yeah, so he he had a really

862
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: solid game. We then got a hit from Dom and

863
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: then who was hitting five? Remember who's hitting five today?

864
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know par was Pilar hitting five? Could

865
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: have been or went Polar five? And then Dom six whatever.

866
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: It was, six straight hits, fought up by a double play.

867
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: But we got off to a hot start, four to

868
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: nothing lead going into the first. So we go. This

869
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: is exactly what David Peterson needed, We needed the runs.

870
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: He's gonna feel comfortable out there, and boy were we wrong.

871
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: David Peterson was horrendous awful.

872
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: I had like a hysterical, like back and forth moment

873
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: this morning with David Peterson. I was writing my weekly

874
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: baseball gambling picks for pitcher lists and I've been ice

875
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: cold over the last like three or four weeks off

876
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: the cold, and I was like Peterson under Peterson doesn't

877
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: usually perform that well when he has more than a

878
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: week of rest.

879
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: I look back.

880
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, he actually had a couple of

881
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: good games a week of rest, Like, maybe he will

882
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 2: be okay. Dimbacks suck. Diamonbacks already saw him. He'll adjust

883
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: to them. Might they won't just back to him? So wrong?

884
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: Dimbacks had this guy's number.

885
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does not have a clue how to pitch

886
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: against them. I think I tweeted out two innings total

887
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: in two starts against the Diamonbacks, which is terrible from

888
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher. Two innings. I think he has six hits,

889
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: six walks, he gave up eight earned runs, So that's

890
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: good enough for an era I think at thirty one

891
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: point five and a whip of sixteen, oh my god,

892
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: or twelve sixteen or twelve, I don't remember what it was. Bad,

893
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: not good, very very bad numbers good thing we're done

894
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: with the Diamonbacks and we won't have to see David

895
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: Peterson pitch against them for a year. But I think

896
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: it brings up a real question as to whether or

897
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: not there's like a serious concern here with the way

898
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: David Peterson's pitching, because it does today, especially his mechanics

899
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: were gone. He did not know how to throw a strike,

900
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,479
Speaker 1: He didn't know where the ball was going.

901
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: No, he couldn't. He couldn't do anything that he wanted

902
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: to do. It seemed like everything looked difficult, like laborious,

903
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: that could be ur I sat were first time in.

904
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 3: A month, nice, but it just.

905
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: Looked awful, Like I don't even have a breakdown for Peterson.

906
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: He was just completely lost. And it does beg the

907
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: question as to what is next for this the back

908
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: end of this pitching staff, because now we know we

909
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 2: kind of been We've had in the back of our

910
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: minds that we had Cindergarthan Carrasco back by this time.

911
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 2: Maybe the saving grace to fill in the back of

912
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 2: this rotation and take this team to the next level.

913
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: Now we know that's not happening anytime soon. No, so

914
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: Peterson either has to just nut up, yeah, or we

915
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 2: need to make a change quickly because it's like three

916
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: out of four starts now where he's been completely lost.

917
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: And we can't afford especially like if this team misclicking

918
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: offensively to waste those games. No, And that's what it

919
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: felt like, was like, oh, great, here we go again.

920
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: That's it. Mets lost this one because we got our

921
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: pitcher knocked out in the first sitting. We're going to

922
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: get someone who has been good this year and actually

923
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: was good in this game, very good. But just felt

924
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: like the entire tide got shifted. If the Mets came

925
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: out there and put up a goose egg in that

926
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: first thing, they win that game easily. It's like such

927
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: a big thing, especially like shutdown innings in baseball, not

928
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: just at the major league level, but all levels. A

929
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: shutdown inning is huge. When your team goes out there

930
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: and puts up a crooked number. It's incredible what it

931
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: can do to another team's morale when you just go one, two, three,

932
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: or you don't even give him a shot. The worst

933
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: thing you can do is let a team hang around.

934
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: That's what the met let Mets let the Dimonbacks do.

935
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: Today, definitely, and I think a big reason they did

936
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: was because tal Marte, i said before, is an actual superstar. Yeah,

937
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: five for twelve this series. So we couldn't get the

938
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 2: guy out and he was roping the ball. There were

939
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 2: no cheap bos here. He hit that home run today

940
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: and as they made four hundred and fifty one feet,

941
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 2: that was a tank a donger, as we like to say.

942
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: He kills left handed pitching too. He owns it and

943
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: that's body. It wasn't a good recipe for success either.

944
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: That like the first four guys in the lineup all

945
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: kill left handed pitching. So Dave Peterson had a tough

946
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: start to begin with, but even more so because weirdly,

947
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: the Dimebacks just owned four guys that crush left handed pitching.

948
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: Definitely crush and that mix can't hate it, and they

949
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: just they crushed us.

950
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: But you mentioned it.

951
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: Gazelman was a savior yet again, cleaning up a mess

952
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 2: that was made. And he's been unsung hero for this team.

953
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how he does it. He's just throwing

954
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: that sinker and guys just are not hitting it hard.

955
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 2: Seventy two percent thinkers today, seventy two percent Twitter breakdown.

956
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: I remember who did it that He actually has a

957
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: much lower release point this year. So I guess for

958
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: a tall guy like Gazelman, he's getting more extension so

959
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 2: kind of as I'm extending into my camera. So I

960
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: guess that makes it seem like the ball's coming in

961
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 2: a little bit harder, and that probably helps its dip

962
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: a little bit. I don't know. I'm not a physicist.

963
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: I'm purely guessing on that. Educatedly guessing, but self contact. God,

964
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 2: there was only one ball in play by Diamondbacks today

965
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: on Gus Helman that.

966
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 3: Was over one hundred miles an hour.

967
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: He knows that liner right into Pete's glove.

968
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: They whipped the double play on which was roped ed.

969
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: Yes, and Guselman made a sick play as well for

970
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: himself that like little chopper off the mound, like he

971
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: turned into a little bit of it. He's always been,

972
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: I think, a good athlete, but that was that was

973
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: a very nice play by him that helped get him

974
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: out some trouble as well, because someone was huge. The

975
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: weird thing that happened. Was Vr got hurt because of

976
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: course he was having another great game hitting the ball well.

977
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: I think he was two for three to start the game.

978
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: And then because it's the twenty twenty one New York

979
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: Mets getting transported back to a little bit of the

980
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: two thousand and you know five thousand and six Mets

981
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: with are a hamstring injury, because that's gonna happen. It

982
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: seems like, I don't know what's going on. We're not

983
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: drinking enough water, we're not stretching, but we got to

984
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: fix this. Too many ham shrinks.

985
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: It's soft tissue injury. It's been a theme around baseball

986
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 2: this year. It's not gonna stop. We already have more

987
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 2: players on the injured list this season than at any

988
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 2: point in twenty nineteen or twenty twenty. This is gonna

989
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: happen every team in the league. It's hitting us worse

990
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: right now. Is it gonna hit everybody else? Probably not

991
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: as hard as us, but also very hard. So we

992
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: just got to continue to fight. You it seems to

993
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 2: be mentioning their grit a lot, how much everyone's picking

994
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: each other up. You love that team since but then

995
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: you look at the lineup and Travis Blankenhorn is hitting.

996
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: I texted you, when did we get Travis Blankenhorn.

997
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 2: That went completely over my head over the last forty

998
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 2: eight hours.

999
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: I missed that altogether.

1000
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was. He was part of the lineup the

1001
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: other night. He was on the bench. They're like, newly

1002
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: acquired Travis blanken Or couldn't tell you where they got

1003
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: him from. He couldn't tell you anything about him. But

1004
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: he's got a great last name. So hopefully he gets

1005
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: a big hit so we can do something with that,

1006
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: because that sounds fun.

1007
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: It's Marcos Kulero with the disguise.

1008
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: Yes, uh, Lugo came back. This was his first appearance

1009
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: of the season off of the elbow surgery. And oh

1010
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: yeah he's good. He's really good.

1011
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy everyone forgets is like just one of

1012
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 2: the best relievers in baseball. Oh now we have him

1013
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 2: back in our best ballpen in baseball, top ten in

1014
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 2: K minus walk percentage since the beginning of twenty nineteen.

1015
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: Up there with the names like Hay the Hendrix, Like

1016
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: that's how good he is. That's who seth Lugo is.

1017
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: He is one of the best relievers in baseball. He

1018
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 2: came back today. With a vengeance. That curve his bread

1019
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: and butter already today, his first outing of the year

1020
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: had the most RPMs of any curve in baseball.

1021
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: Nasty. It was I think like thirty three hundred or

1022
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: something like that right that.

1023
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we don't know exactly how much our pm

1024
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 2: like that. There's not like a direct correlation with it

1025
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: being good, but with Lugo's it definitely is, because I

1026
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 2: think it's a breaker.

1027
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: What's the only thing that's kept him or even caught

1028
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: an eye of somebody was that he had such hard

1029
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: high rpm. That's the only reason he's even a major

1030
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: league baseball players, because they're like, man, he knows how

1031
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: to snap a curveball. He was good, ran into a

1032
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: little bit of trouble, gave up a run, but really

1033
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: for his first appearance, going two innings, he did a

1034
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: pretty fine job. Like I'm I'm really happy to have

1035
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: this guy back. He was going to help lengthen this

1036
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: bullpen even more than it already has been. And especially

1037
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: when a guy like May right now is struggling. We

1038
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: couldn't get Lugo back at a better time.

1039
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: Definitely, it's everyone picking each other up. It's gonna keep

1040
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: doing it. And I think it is important that the

1041
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: Mets waited for a spot for Lugo to give them

1042
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: length because given the struggles that Peterson's had, and given

1043
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: the fact that we still don't have a fifth starter,

1044
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 2: because Joey Lukasey has not earned that title, at least

1045
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: not in my mind, We're gonna need more guys to

1046
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: give multiple innings, and Lugo is going to be one

1047
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: of those guys.

1048
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: Yes, which that moves us to the ninth inning where

1049
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: we were tied up, right, I think at this point

1050
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: we were tied up, Yes, tied up, and Lindor, my guy,

1051
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: he's coming through. He hit balls hard again today. He

1052
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: got a huge hit for us, turned a single into

1053
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: a double. But he was thinking to the entire time.

1054
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: But I think they called an error right on the outfielder,

1055
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: which is a crazy call by the scoresman.

1056
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: We're calling out a double.

1057
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: The official scoring of the Mets Stuff podcast is a

1058
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: double Lindor's fourth consecutive game when extra base hit his

1059
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: ops back over six hundred. That's the real scoring, not

1060
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: just my scoring. Because I am off the hook again.

1061
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: My firstborn will have a normal name. Probably not sure

1062
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 2: lupa batman, so they a weird name of my choosing potentially,

1063
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 2: but that's fine. And then Pete drove him in, Big

1064
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: me Pete.

1065
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: Back, Big me Pete's back. They didn't walk him, which

1066
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 1: is crazy. I don't know how you not. You don't

1067
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: walk them when there's an empty base in one out,

1068
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: you could have gotten out thegating with a double play,

1069
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: didn't walk them. Big hit Edwin dis comes in and

1070
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: shuts the door. Mets win.

1071
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 2: It was so important for this team to come into

1072
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 2: today hot, score in the first hitting and just close

1073
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 2: the door and get this win. Even if the Diamondbacks

1074
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: came back after the gut wrenching loss on Tuesday, showed

1075
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: a lot of determination perseverance. It really gives me a

1076
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 2: different taste in my mouth about the direction of this

1077
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: team moving forward.

1078
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just the bats being alive is so nice

1079
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: to see Lindor hitting, Pete hitting, McCann hitting Dom hitting.

1080
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: Four guys who really hadn't hit together at all this

1081
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: year seemingly did it in two games, which is fantastic.

1082
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: And those are the two games we won.

1083
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: Go figure definitely, And we were talking about how good

1084
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 2: the bullpen is with Lugo. Coming back to before, I

1085
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: just found a quick stat in the moment about this

1086
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 2: from Andrew Perpetois, who's developed the x stat system. Is

1087
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 2: not a problem to remember of Mets toiler, but he

1088
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: lurks and he's a brilliant guy. Doesn't follow me back.

1089
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: Was upsetn because he interacts with me a lot. It's

1090
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 2: just sad. But coming in today, the Mets bullpen FIP

1091
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: is three point one six Since the year of nineteen seventy,

1092
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 2: that would be the forty second best FIP of any bullpen.

1093
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 2: So that's fifty years of bullpens. We're in the top.

1094
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: Fifty, top fifty. It's like one of the best of ever.

1095
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 2: Who cares, one of the better bullpens in the modern

1096
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: era through however, how many games we've played fifty six

1097
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 2: right now, fifty seven.

1098
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. We're in the low fifties, I

1099
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: think here.

1100
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 2: So almost played the full twenty twenty and one of

1101
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: the best bullpens of all time, So take that as

1102
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: you will.

1103
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 1: Mets are looking really strong. Good series victory over the Dimbacks,

1104
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: which could have easily been a series loss, but this

1105
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: team scrapped it out, won it, and we're sitting in

1106
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: first place. Still, watch out, Braves and Phillies. We're starting

1107
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: to get away a little bit. We're serting to distance ourselves,

1108
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: making that gap bigger. Love to see it because this

1109
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: Mets team's only going to get stronger as we get going. Now,

1110
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the guys that aren't currently

1111
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: on the Mets. Let's talk about the farm. This is

1112
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: something that you told me you want to do during

1113
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: the midweek episodes after a series well farm report, So James,

1114
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you take the reins on this one. Here,

1115
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 1: tell me about the young guys coming up.

1116
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty excited about the Mets farm right now.

1117
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 2: Again, we're going to do this every single week or

1118
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,959
Speaker 2: in mid week episode, so get used to us talking

1119
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: about the kids. Something that's awesome going on in the

1120
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: Mets farm system right now is the fact that Ronnie Mauricio,

1121
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 2: Francisco Alvarez, and Brett Baby, whoever you want to slice it,

1122
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: those are probably the Mets one, two, and three best

1123
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 2: prospects in the entire system are all playing right now

1124
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: with the Brooklyn cyclone. So all of our fellow New

1125
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: Yorkers out there, get down this Coney Island, go to

1126
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: Nathan's for a dog ride the Cyclone and watch the

1127
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 2: future of the Mets.

1128
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 3: Just bang some homers.

1129
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: Right through isleve Ren with recently renamed Amodities Park right

1130
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: on the mod Commodities, a big time hospital in Brooklyn

1131
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: last night and Wednesday night. I don't know any guys

1132
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: listening to this. Francisco Alvarez his first home run for

1133
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: the Cyclones, the same game that Brett Batty his first

1134
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 2: home run for the Cyclones. Beautiful thing to see all

1135
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: these guys maturing and building a relationship together, because we

1136
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 2: think that they all probably will spend a lot of

1137
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 2: time together as the years move on.

1138
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: Like you talk about Pete McNeil, Confordo Nimo at some point,

1139
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: well maybe not really Canforida, but those guys all kind

1140
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: of intermingled with each other in the miners. This is

1141
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: the next group of core guys that looks like they're

1142
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: going to be a part of this Mets future. They

1143
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: all look like really good players, guys who had you know,

1144
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: had some hype top one hundred prospects, but I think

1145
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: are definitely starting to climb up these leaderboards here, leaderboards,

1146
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: but rankings, whatever you want, to call them, especially Francisco Alvarez.

1147
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: Everyone is like, he, oh, this kid's good, and Omar

1148
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: even said it. Omar, So that's the guy he's most

1149
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: excited about.

1150
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 2: Definitely, I think that's who everyone's most excited about. People

1151
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 2: outside of the Mets are extremely excited about him. He

1152
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 2: looks like one of those potentially like organizational foundation bats,

1153
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: which is great. Great. I have a couple of those

1154
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: coming up the pipe. But the bats are good. But

1155
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: those guys are far away. I would like them not

1156
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 2: to be so far away as I've talked about last week,

1157
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: but realistically they are very far away. It doesn't seem

1158
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 2: like the Mets are gonna be particularly aggressive, which is fine.

1159
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 2: I'm not running the team, nor should I be. We

1160
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 2: got to talk about the pitchers in the upper minders

1161
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: because we need some help in this rotation stat And

1162
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: the guy who I've been talking about over and over again,

1163
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 2: who I hope will get a chance soon is Thomas Spooki.

1164
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 2: He hasn't pitched since May twenty ninth and Triple A.

1165
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: He had kind of a rocky couple of weeks where

1166
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: he came up to twenty seventh man. He might have

1167
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 2: had Covid then he pitched again.

1168
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: Whatever.

1169
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,439
Speaker 2: His control has been an issue all season. That game

1170
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 2: on the twenty ninth, after he was shuttled up and

1171
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 2: down for last week's doubleheather with Colorado, he had five

1172
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: walks in three innings.

1173
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 3: A guy who struggled with control.

1174
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 2: That's not good, but he's controlled actually been very good

1175
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: every single one of his appearances before, so I think

1176
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: it might have just been like a comfortable yeah, comfortability

1177
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: thing guys to get in a groove.

1178
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 3: We guys see this guy sooner rather than later.

1179
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: It's shocking he hasn't been given a chance yet, especially

1180
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 2: based on the fact that he's on the forty man

1181
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: roster and he was brought up for a double header,

1182
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 2: Like he's right on the precipice right freaking now, and

1183
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: next time around the rotation, next time we speak to you, guys,

1184
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 2: I hope we hear it's from Thomas Sapouki.

1185
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be nice to see him get some innings

1186
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: out there. He's a guy that the Mets have had

1187
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: around for a little bit and there's always been murmurs

1188
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: of what's he gonna be. Like it was always him

1189
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: and David Peterson that I always like kind of put

1190
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: in the same category of each other as kind of pitchers.

1191
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: But Peterson got that shot first. He's also a first

1192
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: round pick. I don't think Supooky was, so you know

1193
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: you have that as well. They're gonna shuttle a first

1194
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: round pick up there before they do the other guy,

1195
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: especially if they're kind of on the same level, which

1196
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: it kind of seems like they are right now.

1197
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 2: Definitely now, neither of these guys that we know now

1198
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 2: if with Peterson, I'm gonna say this, with SUBPOOKI have

1199
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 2: frontline rotation potential, their ceilings aren't that they're gonna be

1200
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 2: at best mid rotation guys. Fillers, your Traxeles, your Manes.

1201
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: Your nieces, Gio Gonzales, Jiu gonzalz Is, your Dylan G's

1202
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: Like these are what these guys are.

1203
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 3: Oatmeal.

1204
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 2: These guys are oatmeal. Oatmeal helps you digest. But we're

1205
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 2: gonna get these guys up. One guy who have become

1206
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 2: much more excited about recently is one Tyler McGill, a

1207
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: starting pitcher who was just brought from Double A to

1208
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: Triple A this week. This is our guy, Joe Demeo's guy.

1209
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna shout him out. I messaged him earlier

1210
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: today to get a little, like a little deeper report

1211
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 2: than we can get most of the interwebs, and like

1212
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: the few videos I was able to find, Joe gave

1213
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: me a nice spot. And also just to shout out

1214
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 2: Joe's new show on S and Y the Mets Prospective

1215
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: with uh Jacob Brampt. I was gonna say, ramsick, just

1216
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: like the tackle on the Saints, but.

1217
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: Yet great show. Watch it.

1218
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: They're really diving into the Mets prospects more than we

1219
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: are now, but just for a moment. Mcgil was an

1220
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: eighth rounder in twenty eighteen at Arizona. He started off

1221
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 2: at Loyola Marry Mountain, so we kind of fought through

1222
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 2: a little adversity just to get from a small school

1223
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 2: to a big school. He was absolutely cruising in double A.

1224
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 2: But like he's twenty five years old, so he should.

1225
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: He's also six seven, which is a pretty fun stat

1226
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: to mention. I love really tall pictures, like especially once

1227
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 2: to throw gas because mcgil is up to ninety seven.

1228
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 2: As Joe told me recently, he was hitting ninety four

1229
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 2: to ninety five. Earlier a couple of years ago, he

1230
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 2: was only in the ninety three is range. So to

1231
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: see that velocity climb, you get shades of some of

1232
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 2: the other guys.

1233
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: On this team. Yeah, we see to do that before.

1234
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that's that guy named the grim whatever.

1235
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 2: Your magic being sprinkled here and there. But that's cool

1236
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 2: to see velocity going up for a guy who's entering

1237
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: his physical prime. Forty percent k rate, six percent walk rate,

1238
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: double A. That's electric stuff, Jesus for really good, really

1239
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: really good near the tops of all the upper miners

1240
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 2: with those numbers, like like what guys like Alec manoah

1241
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: and like Grayson Rodriguez and d'El Hall, some of the

1242
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 2: best prospects in baseball. He's always been a ten k

1243
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: per nine guy every single level. He's always been old

1244
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: for the levels, so he should be doing that. But

1245
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: it's still good that he's getting the results that you covet.

1246
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: The one detractor to mcgil's he really only has two pitches.

1247
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 2: That upper nineties fastball that we mentioned with Ryde. He's

1248
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: not a faith to throw high end to anybody, and

1249
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 2: he also has a hard slider, which Joe told me

1250
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 2: he changed the grip on recently as more of a

1251
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 2: hard slider than a sweeper, so those two pitches at

1252
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 2: least will give him a floor of a pretty good reliever.

1253
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 2: He's begun to work on a change up. It's still

1254
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 2: very inconsistent. He hasn't worked it in very much. We

1255
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 2: don't really have to win those minor league levels when

1256
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 2: you have the fastball, because fastball is really overpower young hitters,

1257
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 2: especially high ones. But this is a guy getting pushed

1258
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 2: off the triple A who are probably going to see

1259
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 2: at some point this summer, and he's someone who excites

1260
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 2: me greatly.

1261
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I like everything you're telling me. Forty k eight,

1262
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: big talk kid, throws hard. Give him a shot? Why not?

1263
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it can't be worse than Yamamoto, Lukezy, some

1264
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: of the guys that we've thrown out there. I'm interested.

1265
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep an eye on this guy for sure.

1266
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: Anybody else you got a little I on for here?

1267
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1268
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 2: I got my guy, Alex Ramirez, who I want everyone

1269
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 2: to know is going to be a top one hundred

1270
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 2: prospect before the year is out, possibly wow, the middle

1271
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: of next season. He just got to add to the

1272
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 2: Saint Lucie roster as the mess I pushed the guys

1273
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: up like Francisco Alvarez, Alex Ramirez, and JT Jin the.

1274
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: Former second round pick I think coming off Tommy John.

1275
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: Yes, he was this previous year's draft second round pick.

1276
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: He has first round, top fifteen quality stuff coming off.

1277
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: Tommy John hadn't pitched for year. People were scared made

1278
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: his first appearance, so that's huge.

1279
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 3: Nice.

1280
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Jen like ramirezose guys are physical freaks. Formirez

1281
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 2: more so, this is my guy. He has like top

1282
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: prospect potential. He just has those physical talents that ooz

1283
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 2: I talked about the month ago, last time we really

1284
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: dove into these guys.

1285
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 3: He's a guy to watch out for.

1286
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 2: Keep tracking those Saint Lucie Box scores, watch him run

1287
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 2: around the bases, watch him hit homers. It's going to

1288
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 2: be a fun to watch that guy's maturation in the system.

1289
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 2: And now as we finish our prospect preview, let's close

1290
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 2: out the episode with the Padres preview.

1291
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: Well, alliteration, yeah, good and bad. Tatisa isn't going to

1292
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: be playing from what it looks like, which is, you know,

1293
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: good for us because he's like arguably the best player

1294
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: in baseball currently on the field. He's pretty sick bad

1295
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: for baseball, because when Fernando Tatisa isn't playing baseball, the

1296
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: entire community loses. This guy is one of the most

1297
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: talented special players that we've seen in a very very

1298
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: long time. He's going to take over Mike Trout at

1299
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: some point in the future for the best player in

1300
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: the game. He is so ridiculously good and he's still

1301
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: like figuring things out. He's still getting better. He has

1302
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: like he had to go through times where he's in

1303
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: these deep slumps because he's getting too aggressive. He has

1304
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: to work on his fielding. But even then he's still

1305
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: so incredibly good. We don't get to see him.

1306
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 3: That's great, Yeah, it is great.

1307
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 2: We played him again next week, so we might actually

1308
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 2: miss him twice, which is kind of a funny out

1309
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 2: of the double like you play teams very consistently, Like

1310
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: you play a series and you play another series and

1311
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: immediately play that same team again, which is dumb, but

1312
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: it might help the Mets here. The guy's missed fifteen games.

1313
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 2: He's not a fifty to fifty pace, which you really

1314
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 2: don't see very often the past Tatis. This Padres team

1315
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,959
Speaker 2: is still very good, very deep. They sustained a couple

1316
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: more injuries today, which actually might help the Mets. Hassong

1317
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 2: Kim and Tommy fam had scary collision as both are

1318
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 2: starting the heat up, especially Tommy Fam, who you know

1319
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 2: is my guy.

1320
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: Yep, and Tommy Fam tried to fight I think Hasung

1321
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: Kim or one of the coaches. They had a scuffle.

1322
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: It was and the one of the coaches basically like

1323
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: took him and just pushed him into the tone was like,

1324
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: we're not doing this. But Tommy Fam kind of an asshole.

1325
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie.

1326
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 2: I mean, you'll usually you don't get stab by accident, Like, yeah,

1327
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 2: it'd be something going on there. But I'm sure Tommy

1328
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 2: Fan's now so he doesn't get their respect he deserves.

1329
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 2: I will not as a play I will not disparage

1330
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: Tommy Fammin anyway, He's one of my favorite players in

1331
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: the league. He does everything right. He doesn't swing at

1332
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 2: bad pitches. He's an athlete, hits the ball hard, puts

1333
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: in the gaps, doesn't strike out. Steele's basis does it

1334
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 2: all old school baseball player. But past that, we got

1335
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 2: Taiwan pitching a night game. It will be tonight maybe

1336
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 2: yesterday when you guys listen to this Thursday evening against

1337
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: you Darvish or should be fun. We have to fable

1338
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 2: the blank spot in our rotation coming on Friday to

1339
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 2: go against new Ace Joe Musgrove. He's so good there's

1340
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 2: They're like some of the real statistics people and analytical

1341
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 2: minds think he's a Sanda to one of the best

1342
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball, something I've been talking.

1343
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 3: About for years. I knew it was in there. It's happening.

1344
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 2: That could be supooky though, or maybe that's lukezy, possibly

1345
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 2: a combination of sapooky and lukezy. We have to make

1346
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 2: that decision pronto because it's gonna be That's not an

1347
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 2: easy flight from Syracuse to San Diego one I would

1348
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 2: like to make.

1349
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 3: San Diego's beautiful, of course, great place to hang out.

1350
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 2: Then we have a marquee matchup on Saturday of Jacob

1351
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 2: de Gram versus Blake Snell, which to which we have

1352
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 2: an unbelievable edge, which I wouldn't have said two years ago,

1353
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 2: which is kind of fun.

1354
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: Let's hope he's Blake smell that night, which he kind

1355
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: of has been this year. The dude's been stinky hasn't

1356
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: been pitching well obviously like Cy Young caliber stuff, but

1357
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: it seems like ever since Kevin Cash pulled him early

1358
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: from that game, he cannot get past the fifth inning.

1359
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 2: It was before that too. Blake Snell hasn't reached the

1360
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: seventh inning. I think he's reached the seventh inning once

1361
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 2: since his end of a sigh young season twenty eighteen.

1362
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 3: Saw a stat I think actually tweeted the statu.

1363
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: And I think he hit the sixth inning for the

1364
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: first time since since the end of twenty nineteen. Yes,

1365
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: like two starts ago, which is crazy.

1366
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 3: And they followed up with the best.

1367
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 2: So we also have Jake first Blake, so a fun

1368
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 2: rhyme game, and then on Sunday, Sunday evening, it'll be

1369
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 2: a nice sunset.

1370
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 3: Game for all of our East Coast viewers.

1371
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: We have Marcus Stroman versus that rat fuck Chris Paddock whoever,

1372
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 2: since he thought he was better than Pee Alonzo haste down.

1373
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: He he like you know, he for some reason started

1374
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: this fight with Pete Alonso for no reason. Peter Alonso

1375
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't think has a bad bone in his body.

1376
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: That dude just seems like he's like I'm playing baseball.

1377
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.

1378
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: I'm happy Chris Paddock started beef with him, Like, yeah,

1379
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: he struck out Alonzo or whatever. But Alonso won the

1380
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 1: Rookie of the year. He Alonso's winning. I think that's

1381
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: all we need to say, is Alonso's winning this weird

1382
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: rough you know, fight that they have with each other.

1383
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: Paddock has not looked good. No, he is just he

1384
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: was like very much a fastball, change up pitcher to

1385
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: begin with, but people have just figured him out. He

1386
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: is not getting like anything done right.

1387
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he his fastball was much better as a rookie

1388
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: than it's been since. I don't know if that's like

1389
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: a baseball thing. I don't know if people figured him out.

1390
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a mechanical thing with him.

1391
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 2: Like he used to get a lot of ride in

1392
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 2: that fastball. He used to throw it high in his

1393
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: zone and used to blow by Hithers and just hasn't

1394
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 2: done that since. And he has not really developed a

1395
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 2: curve ball like people thought he could. He's tried to

1396
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,959
Speaker 2: develop a color, which I think is actually his past

1397
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 2: to becoming a frontline guy. Again, it's not there so good.

1398
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 2: I hope he crushes crushes ass strong.

1399
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: I'd love to smack around the sheriff.

1400
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 3: The sheriff with a bad nickname.

1401
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's more like, what's the dude who, like uh

1402
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: is in the jail cell? What do they call that?

1403
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: He's the inmate more so than the sheriff. Wow, he's

1404
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: just not been very.

1405
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: Good anyone, anyone with the nickname the sheriff, that's just

1406
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: a bad nickname, should get in your nickname.

1407
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: And I mean like the Padres got good players like

1408
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned. Jake Cronworth is just I think both of

1409
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: we like him very much. So, yeah, he's so good.

1410
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: He does all the little things and he also just

1411
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: is a good player in general. Eric Hosmer at first

1412
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: base has figured out.

1413
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 3: Things pretty good. Still.

1414
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: He was next man Machado like is starting to get

1415
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: hot again. He was the guy who started off the

1416
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: year cold. Well, they might not have Tatis or I

1417
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: think Grisham might be back this weekend. I think.

1418
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 3: Friday.

1419
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he just started hitting today and they got

1420
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 2: they called up Brian O'Grady was another one of my guys.

1421
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: He was gonna be in Padre to watch this series

1422
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 2: because he's gonna be a thorn in everyone side. The

1423
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 2: guy is so foraging, annoying. He's like one of those

1424
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 2: classic twenty six year old rookies who's like good but

1425
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 2: not good, and he's gonna he's gonna he's just gonna

1426
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 2: play and be good because he's on the Padres.

1427
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 3: A good line up.

1428
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun San Diego, sunny, YadA YadA. He's good.

1429
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 2: He's gonna be annoying this weekend. But let's split with

1430
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 2: the Padres. Let's go we have We're playing them a

1431
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 2: couple of times here coming up. I think we could

1432
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 2: try to get on their ass.

1433
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: And this is like a possible playoff matchup. They're one

1434
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: of the best teams in baseball. They are either one

1435
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 1: or number two I think on the rankings for most

1436
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: talented teams in all of baseball. They're fantastic. While we're

1437
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be getting them a little bit down on their

1438
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: luck and not at their strongest, the Mets have an

1439
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to at least get a little bit of a

1440
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: preview of what a playoff series could look like. With

1441
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: this team, it's gonna be very much a playoff atmosphere.

1442
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: Padres play every game super intense. They're a tough team

1443
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: to beat. Just hope we can. Like you said, split

1444
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: split would be really nice, especially on the road.

1445
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 3: There's a litmus test. There's a litmus test for these Mets.

1446
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 2: We have our three best starting pitchers going in this series,

1447
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 2: the four game series, so we have to just figure

1448
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: that one game. But we need to prove the releast

1449
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 2: on the Padres level, because that's who we're trying to

1450
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: match that. Yeah, every Mets fans look across the field

1451
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 2: this weekend, that's who we're chasing.

1452
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 3: Let's get him.

1453
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: Let's get him, Let's beat the Padres. Hopefully we do.

1454
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: And uh kind of leads us out here to our

1455
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: bad Mets take of the week, and I think you

1456
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: guys probably saw us. It was all over Twitter. Came

1457
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: from not actually from Twitter, it came from the Arizona

1458
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks broadcast of the game too, where Marcus Stroman was

1459
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: on the mound. As you guys might notice, Marcus Struman

1460
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: tends to wear do rag underneath his hat. Not a

1461
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: big deal. Who cares, You shouldn't care. It's none of

1462
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: your business. Bob Brenley, former mind or my former major

1463
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 1: league what am I trying to say? Former Diamondbacks manager

1464
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 1: is like, basically, they're Keith Hernandez. He's their color guy.

1465
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: He made a super super ignorant, weird comment joke. I

1466
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know really what it was, but basically he said, like,

1467
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: oh you never see you remember Tom seevers do rag

1468
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: underneath his hat And it was just like super like

1469
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: out of touch, out line, ignorant, unnecessary, a bad look

1470
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: all around, and shout out to the other guy who

1471
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: was doing the game with him, who just kind of

1472
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: ignored it and moved on because it was like, we're

1473
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: not even gonna, you know, give any sort of attention

1474
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: to what you just said because it was crazy. But

1475
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: it's just it's wild that like that's even said or

1476
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: thought about. Who cares?

1477
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 3: It's awful.

1478
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 2: It really makes you realize, like I guess, how like

1479
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: different the awarenesses of just and also like of the

1480
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 2: how the awareness of certain sensitivities in different parts of

1481
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: the country, Like these guys dwell in Arizona. There's not

1482
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: much less diversity there than a place like New York.

1483
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 2: It was just very awkward. The racial undertones were just stark,

1484
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 2: like what are you trying to bring attention to the

1485
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 2: fact he's wearing a dow rag, the fact that he

1486
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: doesn't look like Tom sever Like there's no way you

1487
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 2: can construe that to where it's okay. And he like

1488
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 2: talked today about how he's gonna undergo sensitivity training, Like, oh,

1489
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 2: seventy year old guy undergoing sensitivity training, Like it's really

1490
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 2: easy to do that.

1491
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure that'll be very useful. It's just freaking weird.

1492
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: It was like, I don't think the guy's like overtly

1493
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: racist or anything like that. He's not a bad guy,

1494
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't think, but like what he said was clearly

1495
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: a mistake. It was like super bad tone, not smart,

1496
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: very ignorant, and thankfully like he apologized, realized, like what

1497
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: he did was like very wrong, and he's like I

1498
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: talked to Marcus Stroman apologize like we're all good there,

1499
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: which I take his word. I'm sure he's not lying

1500
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: about that, and I'm sure Marcus Struman isn't, you know,

1501
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 1: just like I hate this guy coming for his job

1502
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: anything like that. Yeah, he's just but it was definitely

1503
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: just like disrespectful.

1504
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like this is an ignorant asshole, Like I

1505
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: have to deal with this all the time because I'm

1506
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 2: an African American Major League baseball player and people aren't

1507
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 2: used to that and don't really know how to respond

1508
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 2: when that happens, especially because every single time Marcus Stroman

1509
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: seems to show emotion on the fielder off, it gets

1510
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 2: called out in social media. I tweeted today that ESPN's

1511
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 2: coverage of this story was almost I don't want to

1512
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 2: say as bad, but it was like almost seventy five

1513
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 2: percent as bad as the actual comment that was made,

1514
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 2: where they the headline was Marcus Stroman irked by comment

1515
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 2: with racial undertones from yea Arizona Diaeback's announcer, which, first

1516
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 2: of all, you're putting the owners of that story now

1517
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 2: on Strowman. The story isn't the comments that were made.

1518
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 2: The story is the way Marcus Stroman responded to, which

1519
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 2: I think he responded fine.

1520
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Being perfectly fine.

1521
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 2: And the picture that ESPN used on top of their

1522
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 2: headline as the banner was Stroman jawing with Josh Rojas

1523
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: during the play where there was a little bit of

1524
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 2: animosity on the field. Those two ierkings had nothing to

1525
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 2: do with one another. It's a shame that Marcus Stroman

1526
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: had to be irks multiple times in one night. It's

1527
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 2: a shame that he seems to be irks multiple times.

1528
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 3: A week usually. Yeah, why are you picking that?

1529
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 2: Why are you perpetuating this image of like this angry,

1530
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 2: feisty guy. That's just it's not fair than Marcus Stroman.

1531
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 2: It's not fair that the African American player. It's all

1532
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 2: over baseball. It's just not fair. It's not fair. It's

1533
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 2: not necessarily either.

1534
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: No, ESPN does a horrible coverage of baseball to begin with,

1535
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: and recently, specifically for the Mets. It just seems like

1536
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: they're trying to spend anything that they can to be

1537
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: a Mets negative. Like you said, the way they wrote

1538
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: that made it seem like it was a negative on

1539
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Stroman instead of him simply reacting to something that was

1540
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: negative said by someone else, Like how did that get spun?

1541
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 2: It was the verb that use was irked, and the

1542
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 2: picture that used was him yelling at somebody.

1543
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, how could that possible?

1544
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 2: I understand, like ESPN's in the click game and that's

1545
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 2: all they're after his clicks because they're a bunch of rats.

1546
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 3: But you just have to like read the room.

1547
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 2: There have have a sense of self, have an understanding

1548
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 2: of what like real strong journalism.

1549
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 3: With integrity supposed to look like. And that's not it.

1550
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 2: How we had the comment of the day which was

1551
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 2: kind of funny and like it was also like weird

1552
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 2: nigger in his old man nice way, but like it

1553
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 2: was cool where he was like every metric go out

1554
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 2: with a do rag today, where it's like that's also,

1555
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 2: that's not it, but at least you're trying. Like sure,

1556
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 2: like doesn't make any sense. I don't think a do

1557
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 2: rag would really help Peelanso's waves very much. I think

1558
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 2: he would really help bring out the oils in his hair.

1559
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 2: But sure, I get that it was it was a

1560
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 2: weird situation. I really want to move past it.

1561
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 3: It was just weird. I didn't like it.

1562
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was super uncomfortable and I can only imagine

1563
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: what Strum was feeling. Thankfully, it's behind us, it's over,

1564
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: and please, for the love of God, let this be

1565
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: the last time we have to talk about something like this.

1566
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: Just Ellie, everybody, We love everybody. That's it simple, semi

1567
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: pro Jackie Moon. Just everybody love everybody. It's a very

1568
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: very easy rule to follow, not that tough. But it's

1569
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: a not a positive note here. Mets are still in

1570
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: first place, over the Phillies, over the Braves, over this

1571
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: terrible National League East Division. The Mets are still the

1572
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: King and guess what that will still put us in

1573
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Here we're almost at the sixty game mark

1574
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: and this team is looking a lot better than it

1575
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: did last year. And last year they did not have

1576
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: the injuries that this team had this year. So I

1577
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: gotta give some credit to Luis Rojas as well. I

1578
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: think he's done a really, really good job. I think

1579
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: we're starting to see him get a little bit comfortable

1580
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: as the manager, understand what his day to day everything

1581
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: is going to look like, making moves. He's been a

1582
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: lot more proactive with the bullpen, a lot of positives

1583
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: to take out of this Arizona diamonback series, and hopefully

1584
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: we ride him into San Diego, get a couple wins

1585
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: and keep growing that lead in the NL East. Because

1586
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: the way this team's playing, it's we're a legitimate team,

1587
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: and we've been saying it all season long. We said

1588
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: before the year, don't sleep on the Mets, and it

1589
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: feels like everybody keeps sleeping on us. Hopefully this Padre

1590
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: series is for us to prove that we can hang

1591
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: with the big boys. That is going to wrap up
