1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: What is up?

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: UF podcast, the official podcast of the New York Mets.

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Just wrapped up a four.

5
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Game series, a very very long road trip out in California.

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Two two to the Giants. Didn't end the way that

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: we want.

8
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: It didn't end necessarily on a positive note, but there

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: were a lot of really good things that happened in

10
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: the series, in this road trip, in these games, so

11
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: much to talk about. When we have four games, we

12
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: always have a dense episode, but I feel like, in

13
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: particular with this one, a lot of it was relatively straightforward.

14
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: Really excited to get going through this one with you, guys.

15
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: James is out in California. James, how's the California weather

16
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: treating you?

17
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: California weather's treating me so amazingly. The last few days

18
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: were just lovely. That was the whole weekend.

19
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

20
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: The weather out here has also been really really nice.

21
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: It's been like sunny and sixty with a little wind,

22
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: so like at night it gets a little cold, but

23
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: the weather's been great.

24
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Although I don't think you're bringing back the great weather

25
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: with you.

26
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: It seems like now it looks like the weekends might

27
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: be kind of rainy, but I'm definitely bringing back, which

28
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: is rare for me.

29
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: Some sunburn, which is crazy.

30
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: I never guess somewhere my forehead was peeling. I'll remember

31
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: a time of life that ever happened. Ever forehead peel,

32
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: that's a that's a rare spot. Usually get the nose,

33
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: you get the arms.

34
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: You get the shoulders.

35
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: The thing that happened was I didn't realize it because

36
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: we had the last time we did the episode was

37
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: right after that day game against the Dodgers that I

38
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: was at. I was sitting for the second half of

39
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: the game, like directly in the center field sun, and

40
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: I had the sun like right here on my head,

41
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: and you know the way my hair kind of flops

42
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: sometimes and it gets later in the day. So I

43
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: had literally a tan line from my hair because like

44
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 3: this part was like flopped down and then the other

45
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: half of my head was like burnt. And like that

46
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: day I picked up my hair and my friend was like, holy,

47
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: oh my god, you have a hair tan line. That

48
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: is awesome.

49
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that.

50
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get some tan lines and hopefully

51
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: like soon it's gonna be nice hot sunny. I need

52
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: Florida mark back a little bit because that's what I

53
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: was getting, was getting those rays. I was feeling good.

54
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: Need a few more of those. But of course we

55
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,039

Speaker 2: York Mets YouTube channel. You will be able to find

75
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: it there without further ado. Let's get it started with

76
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: game one. A lot going on this day. You had

77
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: the Rangers hockey game going on Rangers. It's now two

78
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: to one. Maybe some of you are doubles fans from

79
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: your Islanders fans, but here on the podcast, we're all

80
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: Rangers fans. We all support the New York Rangers. So

81
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: we were feeling good and it was a great way

82
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: to lead into what was a phenomenal game played by

83
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: the New York Mets.

84
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: The offense absolutely exploded.

85
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo's bat has been crazy all year, but in

86
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: the fourth inning he really broke this one open. I mean,

87
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: you just love when you have games like this where

88
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: the Mets are swinging the bats as well as they

89
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: have been.

90
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: He also hits those like really special fast run sometimes

91
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: and that was one of them where he just gets

92
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: the bad head on it and just hits it. It

93
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: goes out like left fielding a second and a half

94
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: and that was beautiful. And then also another cool home

95
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: run this game with while the west coabar off, the

96
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: lefty hitting right handed, hit a deep one out. I

97
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: remember that there were a couple people online when the

98
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: lineup dropped being upset that Brett Baty wasn't playing against

99
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: the lefty, which I mean, there is something to be

100
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 3: said there, but we all as Mets fans, remember that

101
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: Madison Bumgarner single handley stunted Michael couldfoor those growth like

102
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 3: two years when when he played against him, and to

103
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: day he probably shouldn't have. But I also want to

104
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: shout out our little random Twitter group chat of our

105
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: crew out there, some of them were pretty pretty heartbroken

106
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: that Brett Baty wasn't the lineup against lefty. Then why

107
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: the west bar comes up and hits a moonshot, so

108
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: you love to see that. And then Brandon Nimo just

109
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: staying so so so so hot. He's having He's almost

110
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: five hundred on this road trip. He had an RBI

111
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: single off of the lefty Sean ma Andaya to knock

112
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: him out of the game.

113
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw this early in

114
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: the game.

115
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: I don't know how like quick he got to it,

116
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: but early in the game the Mets hit I think

117
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: like two line drives off Sean Manya in the first inning,

118
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: which is something I'd never seen. He was like literally

119
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: a pitcher wall. Also, Sean ma Andaya his game. The

120
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: dude's you so much.

121
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was that big.

122
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: Jersey was looking ever so snug on him, and the

123
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: Mets were hitting him early like shaman I as.

124
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: A pitcher is whatever? Right? Is that fair to say?

125
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: I think shoum and I is doing that thing that

126
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: we've seen a lot of pictures do in years past. Word,

127
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: you go from an organization that knows nothing to an

128
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: organization that knows a good amount, and then you were

129
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: able to kind of figure things out a little more.

130
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: I heard him do an interview in the off season

131
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 3: on the Athletic that basically that he'd never used weighted

132
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: balls or really trained, was very much like heavyweight in

133
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: his life.

134
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: What.

135
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, So this offseason he just did it and that's

136
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: how he got like an easy three miles an.

137
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Hour and all of his pitches he's never thrown. I've

138
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: thrown with weighted balls and I didn't even pitch.

139
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: There you go, Well, that was that's how Sean and

140
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: I has gotten himself from being pretty not good.

141
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: It's almost okay, almost okay. Yeah, Sanga is on the

142
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: mound for us in this one, too. Kind of something

143
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: that we've now seen a few times with Code, I sanga.

144
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: First two times to the order pretty easy. Third time

145
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: threw definitely ran into some trouble. But he's also and

146
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make excuses. I love Code I saying again

147
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: what we see like that top end stuff has been incredible,

148
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: Like that makes you go like, oh, boy, dud, there's something.

149
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Special cooking here.

150
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: Third time through the line has been a little more difficult,

151
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: but he's had the weird snares where he's had incredibly

152
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: long innings right before he goes out for that fifth inning,

153
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: and it does seem like something gets a little off kilter,

154
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: throws him off a little bit and he has a

155
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: hard time getting back like I don't want to say focus,

156
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: but back in the groove of things for sure.

157
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: And you we had this conversation off air, like kind

158
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: of prepping up so a few days ago, and you

159
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: made that point. I think it was a really good

160
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: one because I saw Coda saying and do something I

161
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: believe it was in Oakland that I had never really

162
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 3: seen a picture do in my life, and that's in

163
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: the middle of an inning, run out to the ballpen

164
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: and throw the ball around. And that does come from

165
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: having a couple of these starts in a row, the

166
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: Mets offense just goes off for him and then he

167
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: has a long break. But it is something to talk

168
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: about here that Kodes Sang gets see a few games

169
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: in a row, has hit the same wall in the

170
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: fifth inning. Coincidentally, the third time around the batting order

171
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: they think started off with Blake say Bol, this wasn't

172
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: the third time around the other yet, this was ninth battery.

173
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: The second time through, he had a long home run

174
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: off of Kordas Sanga fastball. Then Lamont Wade third time through,

175
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: back to back home runs also off that fastball, and

176
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: then they had a little bit rally with some walks.

177
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: I think there was a hitherto the wild pitch that

178
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: scored the run, and you're kind of just feeling like

179
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 3: this keeps happening in Kodai Asanga, and we I think

180
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: kind of cautioned everyone as we were coming into the

181
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: season that Kodai Sang was going to have these high highs,

182
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: They're also going to be some lows. There's gonna be

183
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: a major justin period. We're worried about the third pitch

184
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: coming around. We have kind of seen that a little

185
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: bit of the sweeper in the col but the fastball

186
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: in the ghost. Four were the only pitches in the

187
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: start against the Giants two get wis and they had

188
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: four and five each. Like these pitches were getting lots

189
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: of swinging misses. They look great, especially those first time through.

190
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: But the sweeper, which is the pitch that we've been

191
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: pointing to a lot saying, this is the one. It

192
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: looks good, it has all the right physics, has good velocity,

193
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 3: good movement. This is the one that's gonna make the difference.

194
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: It didn't get any whiffs, and Giants Hithers did not

195
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: chase it once.

196
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and that's something they keep an eye on.

197
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: And I feel like two in this game, Giants hitters

198
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: were especially aggressive early in counts because they talked about

199
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: how Code I Sanga sometimes has fallen into a little

200
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: bit of a habit. It seems like of it's gonna

201
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: be fastball first pitch, then either cutter sweeper second pitch,

202
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: and then whenever he gets the two strikes, he leads

203
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: on that ghost forkball, which as we know, is absolutely

204
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: disgusting and still is disgusting. But it seemed like the

205
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: Giants hitters had a plan coming into this game of

206
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna try and jump on that fastball and that

207
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: and that cutter or sweeper, so we don't have to

208
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: see the ghost fork PiZZ We're not We're not gonna

209
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: hit it. It's just not a pitch that we're gonna

210
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: hit well.

211
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: And we told you guys that least two episodes ago

212
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: after the A series that Cooda Sango was throwing that

213
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: fastball a lot the first pitch I think at the

214
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: time or that game against the A specifically, I think

215
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: it was I want to say it was like eight

216
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: out of like fourteen batters or something through the first pitch.

217
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: So this is depentially he is throwing a lot in

218
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: the first pitch, and then you kind of take a

219
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: step back. Now, Koda Sang has made a handful of

220
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: starts against a lot of different kinds of teams, and

221
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: we've seen this third bat third times we go other

222
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: trend come up a little bit, and part of that

223
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: is just because he is so good those first two.

224
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Times around the other.

225
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: Just to put it in context for you guys, he's

226
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: faced seventy two batters so far this season. First and

227
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: second time around the other, he's given up five and

228
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: runs has twenty strikeouts and a walks filthy. Then you

229
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: just take a third time through the other twenty two

230
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: batters faced also five and runs, five strikeouts and six walks. Yeah,

231
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: it's just clear that there is there is something here,

232
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: this nimpass here that's stopping kode Issanga from going to

233
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: this guy who's pretty good, who's gonna have these like

234
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: high strike guy rates with some high walk rates, kind

235
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: of keep runs down a little bit, but probably still

236
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: be a true value, true talent like three eight four

237
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: OI guy for a full season major league baseball. Get

238
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: past that, get past that threshold, and that's where you

239
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: find it. That's gonna come with experience. It's gonna come

240
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: with some time, probably gonna come with another adjustment. Still

241
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: love code, but there's definitely something we should keep an

242
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: eye on.

243
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 2: And again it's his fourth start in his major league career.

244
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: We know that the game is very different here than

245
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: it was in Japan. We know that the ball is

246
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: very different than it was here in Japan. Even in

247
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: the broadcast on Sunday night, they were talking about the

248
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: difference in baseball because I think at warder Press played

249
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: in Japan at one point in his career, and they

250
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: were talking about how the baseball in Japan is even

251
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: just softer that the Major League baseball feels like a rock.

252
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: It's so hard compared to what the ball is in Japan. Affects,

253
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: you know, grip, it affects everything, affects how the ball

254
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: bounce off the bat. It's all an adjustment period, all learning.

255
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: But there's definitely been so many great moments or a

256
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: little like sparks where you're like, oh, with code is Sanga.

257
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: Now it's just getting over that hump, because that's like

258
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: the difference between being like a very good pitcher or

259
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: being like an elite pitcher like we see is through

260
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: the first two times in that.

261
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: Order, definitely, and you gotta just respect the fact that

262
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: this team did pick him up behind a bad fifth

263
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: thing immediately responded with a home run coming off an

264
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: awesome road trip. The offense went off later in the game,

265
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: built a cushion that we could chill, and then the

266
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: bullpen was nasty in this game, something we've been saying

267
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: about the bullpen for a really long time this entire season. Basically,

268
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: through four innings after cold that went out and only

269
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: give up two hits, no walks nowhere runs. Yeah, Drew

270
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: Smith again. We know he did blow the game on Sunday,

271
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: but we'll talk about that later. He had a great

272
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: adding Jeff Brigham, who had the days mean, you guys,

273
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: you guys know, Jeff. I want to just even talk

274
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: about this for a second. Jeff Brigham finished that second

275
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: inning on Sunday and I got tagged in like twenty

276
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: five tweets.

277
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, nothing that's ever happened to me intil there before.

278
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: It was incredible every time I see a Jeff Brigham tweet,

279
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: because I see you Mets fans out there, and I

280
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: see you Mets reporters, and I see you Mets people.

281
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 2: You're not listening to the Mets podcast intently enough. That's

282
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: what I'm learning is the real ones and the fake

283
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: ones out there, because the real ones know that mister

284
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: James Schiano has been all over Jeff Brigham from the

285
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: second the second that the Mets signed him too a

286
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: minor league deal or whatever it was, as soon or

287
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: they traded for him technically, right mm hmm. I think

288
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 2: I was even on it, like last offseason when he

289
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: might have even been a free agent when the Dodgers

290
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: signed him like, oh, this could be a guy that

291
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: Mets could bring in like low key for all our

292
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: metstub lifers him and Adam Conley. That could be the

293
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: righty left he mixes Bullpen needs to get through. But

294
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: this Thursday night was a great game.

295
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: This is also one of those really fun games where

296
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, Ronnie's not with the Mets and a certain

297
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: part of a road trip and Keith was and Keith

298
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: and Gary when the game gets late with gegas out

299
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: of hand late at night, they will just start talking

300
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: about anything.

301
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: Keith's brother was like.

302
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: Hanging around the booth and he was like, where'd my

303
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: brother go? Like in the middle of the broadcast it

304
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: was four to twenty and they were like talking about that,

305
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: which was kind of hysterical, like.

306
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: What do you do?

307
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether you do it.

308
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: It's like they just these guys have so much fun

309
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: for these blowouts at West is awesome.

310
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really do learn I don't want to say

311
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: learn to appreciate, but like these these are the type

312
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: of games where you like go, oh man, we really

313

Speaker 2: do have the best guys in the booth, Like yeah,

00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: some of the most knowledgeable guys in all of baseball.

316
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: When you're talking about like you know, doing play by

317
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: play in color commentary. But then they whenever, like they

318
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: get like that those free little moments and they can

319
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: just freestyle a little bit. You're like, oh, these guys,

320
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: like I want to hang out with these guys. I

321
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: want to have a beer with Keith Hernandez or whatever

322
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: it would be, smoke a cigar. And it's also these

00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: two Ronnie's there. He keeps everyone in line, you know.

00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: Rodney's guy. Run is the ivy guy. He's you know,

325
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,360

00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: He's big baseball minds.

327
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: When these two guys can get funky themselves, like, it's

328
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 3: a it's a different animal.

329
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: Think about Like, Okay, so obviously Gary Cohen fan of both,

330
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure, like because he was a Mets fan, lifelong guy.

331
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 2: But like think about like when he just gets to

332
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: hang out with Keith Hernandez and and like the booth,

333
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm hanging out with Keith Hernandez, joking about

334
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: what's going on, like making jokes, cray like back and forth.

335
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: Like it's a pretty good life to have they could do.

336
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: Keith also being from like northern California, is he He's

337
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: from northern California, right, yeah, yea, yeah, he probably knows

338
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: all the spots around the city in the Bay itself,

339
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: so they probably get a nice lunch those days, probably

340
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: get a nice bar, having nice guys a whiskey, like

341
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: it's it's awesome, it's I love hanging with these guys.

342
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: Get weird.

343
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: And this game Thursday, game one was great, especially coming

344
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: off those wins against the die off the sweep of

345
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: the A's, Like that was the win. You're like, oh,

346
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: we're taking this West coast trip right now.

347
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: Yes, we were ready roll. We had the meme, the

348
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: sign guy meme ready to go, but it was a

349
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: little bit too late that day to actually post it,

350
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: so he saved it for the next game, Game two,

351
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: which we can talk about now because Game two again,

352
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the bats came alive at one point. But

353
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 2: the real story of this game has to be friend

354
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: of the podcast, mister Joey Fuego Joey Lukese having the

355
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: best start of the year, hands down by a Mets

356
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: starting pitcher this season.

357
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: We love Joe. He didn't expect that to come from him.

358
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: Off of his first start, off of you know, Tommy

359
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: John Surgery, first start back at the Majors, and he

360
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: was just phenomenal.

361
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: He was disgusting. He had giant hitters and its Iszy

362
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: majorsiss Joey Lukez.

363
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 3: We gotta shout South for a second, because if you

364
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: guys listen to our interview with him in spring training,

365
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: he said he had massive butterflies.

366
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: For an interest squad game.

367
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this was a game in the regular season

368
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 3: with his entire family and attendance, which he said he

369
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: never ever does, but this was special occasion because this

370
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: was his first appearance since June eighteen, teenth, twenty twenty one.

371
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: Yew imagine June ten, twenty twenty one. I think I

372
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: don't even I can't even imagine how different my life

373
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: was then.

374
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: I mean, we were still doing the podcast independently.

375
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: We were just started doing it. We were not with

376
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: the New York Mets.

377
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: I would love to I'm gonna go onto the podcast

378
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: channel while you look, while you talk more about Joey

379
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: Luczy and try to figure out exactly what episode.

380
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: We were even doing around that time. Yeah. Right, But

381
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: June eighteenth, July eighteenth, what'd you say?

382
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: June eighteenth, twenty twenty one. It was against Washington Nationals,

383
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: so it was probably a National series. I hope he

384
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 3: did well against It was the National twenty twenty one.

385
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: Actually know Trey Tarrent was still on that team. They're

386
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: probably end maxers. They're probably actually okay then, but.

387
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: They could have done well.

388
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 3: That seems like it was rather around that series where

389
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: they actually made the meme about Francisco Lindora on their

390
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: Twitter that might have ignited him for like one of

391
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: his first hot.

392
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: Street pass and the guy who wrote the article, the

393
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 2: stupid article, what's his name?

394
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: I know you hate him? Oh my god, what was

395
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: his name? Did you forget? I definitely forgot.

396
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: I so relevant, But he wrote a stupid article about dumb,

397
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: dumb stats that don't matter, about why Francisco Lindor is

398
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: not good, and then oh look what Francisco's Lindor's done

399
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: since then, he's been incredible.

400
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Oh man, I gotta fined off fine that later.

401
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: But Joe Lucasey was just completely in control all night,

402
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 3: and a big theme for the Mets so far this

403
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: season has really just been starting pitching, not really giving

404
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: them the lank that you would really want. I have

405
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: a pitching staff, especially early, especially when they came in

406
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: with as much regard as the Mets, and he just

407
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: didn't even waiver for a second. No Giant reached second

408
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 3: base after Wilmer Flores had a double the second bather

409
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: of the game. His churve was completely cherven. He threw

410
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: sixty one percent of the time it got six widths

411
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: and a ridiculous nineteen called strikes. A team like the Giants,

412
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: who was so information based and so like, so prepared,

413
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: I feel like for every normal pitching outing, just not

414
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: seeing that pitch for two years, not really having any

415
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: idea what was gonna be, what was gonna look like,

416
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: I think really played into Lukeazy's favor. And he also

417
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: had the curve and the color supplementing it well. The

418
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: defense was really good, like this was just one of

419
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 3: those clean, classic, incredible Mets wins.

420
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: And we talked about the interview we did with Luczy.

421
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: If you guys don't know about it, we did an

422
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: interview with Joey Lucazy. Go check our podcast feed in

423
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: the New York Mets YouTube channel. But he talked about

424
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: the usage of that cutter too with us, like what

425
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: have you been working on and he was like, I'm

426
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: really excited about this and it was really effective against

427
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: these Giant hitters. Again, might be the first time that

428
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: they're seeing it. But the fact that he told us

429
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: about this pitch that he was working on and then

430
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: getting to use it in real life in a very

431
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: meaningful game and it work, that's like really cool to

432
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: hear from our side at least.

433
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: Definitely, we've seen a lot of pitchers with the Mets

434
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: and across baseball had success using that color as the

435
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: pitch to supplement their normal secondaries against opposite handed batters,

436
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: and the Giants stuffed their lineups opposite handed batters every

437
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: single game.

438
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: You guys saw it.

439
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: Every game this year is whenever the Mets changed pitching,

440
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: three new Giant hits will come up for refresh ending.

441
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous what they do, but you have to respect

442
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: because they're getting every avage they can without a very

443
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: talented roster, and that color was a huge yeal that

444
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: being him being able to get those right these out

445
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: second third time through the batting were there.

446
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: One hundred percent and the offense of course showed up

447
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: in this one too, because the Mets end up winning

448
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: this game seven nothing, which is always just so.

449
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: So nice and calming and relaxing, because.

450
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: Like the first sitting was a little bit close with

451
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: like Joey, he had some moments where like oh boy,

452
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: like that that hung one, but then from there on

453
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: he was cruising. And like we said, with the Mets offense,

454
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: I think what everybody except Francisco Auver in this game

455
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: had to hit, and Francisco was hitting the ball hard. Still,

456
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: the offense was phenomenal, between Brandon Neimo, Pete Alonso hitting

457
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: another home run in this game, having another four RBIs

458
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: in this game, Jeff McNeil, Marcana, Dan Vogelback, I mean

459
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: everybody was swinging it.

460
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: Shallot one more.

461
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: Luski, you're on my four hard hit balls in this game, yes,

462
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: actually swinging the best bath his entire career.

463
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: Right now, we need to sign We need the signed guy.

464
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: The Mets lineup is good. Good, The Mets lineup is good.

465
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: And like again, to bring it back to you know,

466
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: Game four, National Baseball. Say what you want about the

467
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: ESPN broadcast, but that does kind of give you a

468
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: little bit of a sense of like what the national

469
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: scope of baseball is and like what people are thinking

470
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: nationally because we're so hyper focused on the Mets. But

471
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, Mets have a great lineup, Like they

472
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: Mets have a very strong lineup. But if you ask

473
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: a lot of Mets fans, they would tell you the

474
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: complete oppostion and they tell you there's a total holes

475
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: even though me and you both know it's not true.

476
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: One to nine, it's a very strong lineup in baseball,

477
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: there's no doubt.

478
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 3: I mean also, Mets fans wild all say that about

479
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: the Mets bullpen, which has been pound for pound, one

480
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 3: of the best in baseball so far this season. I

481
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 3: think that's just the curse of like watching a team

482
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: every single day, kind of you kind of wish and

483
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: expect perfection, but it's hard to get. I also want

484
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: to shout out one more cool thing to happen in

485
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: this game. We talked about how work the bullpen has been,

486
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: how long the season is. Everyone remembers, everyone knows who

487
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: got one to sixty two, and I even that network

488
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 3: we're not even cord the way three yet, Like there's

489
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 3: a long no, what.

490
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: Not even close.

491
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: We're barely fifth of the way through, and we had

492
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 3: a really nice two out rally in this game in

493
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: the nine to stretch the lead from four to seven.

494
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 3: And Bunk mentioned specifically that hits two out hits by

495
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor and Brandim will start that rally ops or nimodenlandrks.

496
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: That's how the batting over the works got the Mets

497
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: the cushion they needed with Tommy Hunter compitch ninth inning

498
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: instead of David Robertson. David Robinson also, yeah, hey wound

499
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: up out pitching a serious night's nice weekend offer David Robertson.

500
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: But was cool, especially that Buck mentioned this firsthand, like

501
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: how all these different aspects of the team are working

502
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: with each other to kind of save everybody. And one

503
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: stats already from Johnny Stats and jihnty stat hasn't really proven,

504
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: not mean stats from Johnny Stats recently. But Pete Lonzo

505
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: became the fourth player in Mets history with at least

506
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: four RBIs and consecutive games, joining Carlos Beltron, Robin Interira,

507
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: and as John says, I quote my boy Lucas, do.

508
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: That, my boy Lucas, dude.

509
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pete did have the lead in MLB or in

510
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: home runs of Major League Baseball. Max Monty now hit

511
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: number eleven, I believe on Sunday. But Pete has twenty

512
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: three RBIs on the year, which is what top top

513
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: ten in baseball.

514
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: He's number two in home runs if you're.

515
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: Looking at ops, I mean, Pete's right up there. He's

516
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: having a phenomenal, phenomenal start to the season, even with

517
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: an over in Game four.

518
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: Just just simply one of the best hitters in baseball.

519
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, can Elsel dropped a couple stats about the Mets

520
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 3: offense cause I just found a few.

521
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, h h hit a couple of stats for me.

522
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: I like to make you guess we haven't done any

523
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: guess Okay, yeah.

524
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 3: Those are always always grate for the listeners. What rank

525
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 3: you think the Mets are in run scored in Major League.

526
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: Baseball this season?

527
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say eleven, seventh, Well, okay, that's higher. That's higher.

528
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like bottom top third.

529
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: What do you think they are in wOBA wOBA.

530
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say twelve ten, Yeah, okay, okay, but like

531
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: upper third offense? Yeah, well who would have thought that crazy?

532
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: Even imagine?

533
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 3: And that's what the Mets having one of the worst

534
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: batting averages as a team in all of baseball.

535
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Like this, this lineup hasn't really even gotten going, and

536
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 2: they're still playing really, really well. And you saw in

537
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: these first two games. Of course, the next two the

538
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: Mets don't win. But there's some other things to talk

539
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: about too. It wasn't like it was the offense didn't

540
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: show up. We did have some troubles on the mound here.

541
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: In game three, unfortunately, our guy David Peterson struggled again.

542
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Although we say he didn't.

543
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: Pitch bad against the Dodgers, he just got like weirdly unlucky.

544
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: But this game Peterson definitely did struggle a bit.

545
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. And I don't know, this Peterson thing

546
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: is getting weird.

547
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of the fan base is

548
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: kind of turning to turn on David Peterson. He's been

549
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: really he's he's really hoping he beats the Steven Matt's

550
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: allegations that have been really coming out in force recently.

551
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 3: But there were just there were just things in this

552
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: game where you could still look to them, just like

553
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: that Dodgers game where you're like it's so close to

554
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: being good, Like why is this not good and sorry,

555
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: I'm just taking my time here running a timestamp. We

556
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: forgot to do that so far, so we got to

557
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: takly getting the good news in there. But the big

558
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 3: thing that happened this game was he gave out, gave

559
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: up a two out, three run nuke moonshot to Brandon Crawford,

560
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: the decrepit Brandon Crawford, the Brandon Crawford has played the

561
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: most games as a Giant the history of the franchise.

562
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 2: Who Brandan Crawford the greatest shortstop in Giants history, which

563
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: feels wrong, but it's also very true.

564
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: It's super true. Brandon Crawford. It's like an all a good,

565
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: all time giant. He probably probably gets the number retired,

566
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: oh thousand three World Series right with them. I think

567
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: he won at least two. I think he won three.

568
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 3: And he also grew up as a Giants fan in

569
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: the Bay, went to college UCLA. He's like never left

570
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 3: the California coast entire life, besides the minor leagues.

571
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: And he's married to Garrett Cole's sister.

572
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: So that's awesome. Really yeah, that's awesome.

573
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's hysterical. But this was again, this

574
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: was weird because David Peterson usually is so good against lefties,

575
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: so tough on them, and last game against the Dodgers

576
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: gave two big home runs the lefties. This game gave

577
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: the big shot to a left again. This was a

578
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: slider that just sat completely un a tee spun the

579
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: metal of his zone. And it sucks when things like

580
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 3: that happened in the first inning and with two outs,

581
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: and then it didn't really get better after that. Giants

582
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: tacked on two more in the second behind everyone's favorite

583
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: former met Darren Ruff and Michael Confour. Though four of

584
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: the pitch was like two inches off the plate inside

585
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 3: and the rough was a like a sinker that was

586
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: sat lowing in, but they didn't get lowing in enough

587
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 3: and it's just like you watched that, And then one

588
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: more floor is a nice home run to make it

589
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: seven earn runs for David Peerson in the fifth inning,

590
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: another sinker, similar spot is rough against the righty wear.

591
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: It looked like Peterson really wanted to try and bury

592
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 3: it on the guy, like a little more inside or

593
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: a little more low.

594
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: It just kind of was in a beautiful sweet spot

595
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: that hitters love lowing.

596
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: In, like in the zone and you like look at

597
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: it and like the Crawford mistake was real, Like that

598
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: was the big blow home run. That's that's a bad one,

599
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: But the other ones were not necessarily bad pitches. I

600
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 3: still don't know how could hit that one. It was

601
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: like two inches off the inside of the play.

602
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. But the stuff looks mostly good. He's

603
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: still missing tons of bats.

604
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: And something Mets fans have been harping on, especially this game,

605
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: is that David Pearson keeps getting behind in the count.

606
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: It wasn't true in this game. Twenty two first pitches,

607
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: eight were balls, fourteen were strikes. You only got two

608
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: zero and a hitter four times. He was never threw

609
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: down three zero in this game. Yeah, so that's he

610
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: was ahead of these towns. He was missing bats. He

611
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 3: just again left too many over the middle of the

612
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: plate and somehow Someway got burned by another lefty for

613
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: a home run. And this was just a sly like

614
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: that happens, and it looks bad when it's seven and runs,

615
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 3: but he still struck a bunch of guys out. He's

616
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 3: like really, like I'm really still banking on the regression

617
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: monster to come and help David Peterson, He's an eighteen

618
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 3: K minus walk grate right strike up minus walk right

619
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: right now, that's twenty nine best in all baseball. It's

620
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: like the same as hay Slu's Lazar, though just with

621
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 3: much different batlet ball loock and again not all of

622
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: his bathletball luck like right now.

623
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: The the my main.

624
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: Stat that's good for Davy Psce right now is x FIP,

625
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: And we've spoken off air about how much I low

626
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: the x FIP for the people at home. X FIP

627
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: takes a pitcher's FIP, which is your fielding independent pitching.

628
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: It's basically an amalgamation of your walks and strikeouts, and

629
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: it then makes your home run rate league average, and

630
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: that's not really a good thing to do. It's a

631
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: good thing for some players, but some pitchers just have

632
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 3: skill sets they're not that well use. Their home run

633
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: rate should not be league average. And the way David

634
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: Peterson pitches now, with a lot of fastballs and sliders,

635
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: he probably will run a slightly above average home run

636
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: rate with baseball.

637
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: So I don't like using x FIP.

638
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: But that eighteen percent strike up minus walk grade is

639
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: one of the top marks in the league. And it's

640
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: where Peterson's near where Peterson was last year.

641
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: He's pitching his best.

642
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 3: I really really don't think we're that far away from

643
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: Peters and ripping off a nice streak, and the Mets

644
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: really needed.

645
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. Listen, it was a tough road

646
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: trip for him. Like you said, the stuff is very

647
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: very good.

648
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: We need him.

649
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: We need David Peterson too to be a part of

650
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 2: this rotation. He's not going anywhere very He's shown us

651
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: the ability to be a very.

652
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: Very good pitcher at times.

653
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 2: We're just waiting, like you said, for that kind of breakthrough,

654
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: the positive regression by no means of lost any faith

655
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: in David Peterson whatsoever. Even again, the conversation we have

656
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 2: with him met spring training, like the dudes like very

657
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: cerebral and how he thinks about pitching. So this is

658
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: just something that like a tinker here, a tinker there,

659
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 2: little Jeremy Hefner special dust a little magic on him,

660
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: and I'm sure David Peterson will be fine. Unfortunately, this one, though,

661
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: it did not help us. Like you said, that seventh

662
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 2: spot was just a little bit too much. The Mets

663
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: did rally a little bit, especially late. They got guys

664
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: on but could only really muster up four runs in

665
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: this one, which.

666
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just gonna happen. Sometimes you just don't score

667
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: his many runs as the other team, it's possible. Yeah,

668
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: and Logan Web looked amazing in this game.

669
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: After we kind of talked about his struggles a little bit,

670
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 3: which we're not gonna do anymore.

671
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: That was kind of rough for us. Shout out Edwin.

672
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: You said that for saving the pen going through by

673
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 3: himself to close it. Yeah, valley effort by Edwind right there.

674
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 3: They give us, give us a better shot on Sunday.

675
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: And then uh, baby looked really comfortable for the first time.

676
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 3: I felt like in a little bit that batting out

677
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 3: Forge starting to climb is not getting the extrays hip power.

678
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: But you guys are really starting to see him hit

679
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: the ball hard. He had two hard in this game.

680
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 3: They turned in the two hits brand Nemo had another

681
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: home run, three more hard hit balls because he's simply

682
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 3: inevitable and with giur May had another another good game here,

683
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: and I really want to shout him out because he

684
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: is swinging the best bat of his crew right now.

685
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: Same mass shakouts and walk so far thirty three point

686
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: three hard hit percentage, which is still like in the

687
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: bottom half of the league. But right now it's exactly

688
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: the same as Clabor Torres and Jeremy Paniya, two guys

689
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: who are ascending middle infielders on their on their respective teams.

690
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have Labor Torres. Labor got a hip flexer.

691
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: He's been playing through and he's been bad.

692
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: Okay, so I would explain why the regression baby for Glabor.

693
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, like your may Gurmy did have a really

694
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: good series.

695
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: He's been playing very well away since we've been getting

696
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: a little more consistent playing time. This is also the

697
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: first game that Mark Te I believe was back in

698
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: the lineup too, right was game three, So I was

699
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 2: gonna see Starling Marte back and healthy and looking good.

700
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. Sometimes you just don't get.

701
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 2: The hits, And I do think the most important thing,

702
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: Rettbay did make an error at third base, I believe

703
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: in this one, which broke a streak which the Mets.

704
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: I think the Mets had that was their first twenty

705
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: two games of the season or twenty one games, whatever

706
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: it was. That was the most consecutive games to start

707
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 2: a season without committing an error in major League baseball

708
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: history since nineteen hundred. That's major League Baseball history.

709
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Ridiculous. Great defense, great defense, and we've known this is

710
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: stuff that we've been telling you guys, great defense. Ret

711
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: Bay's gonna figure out their base.

712
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: And like you said, at the plate has looked super

713
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 2: comfortable even in his outs, looks comfortable.

714
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: No, he looks like he's starting the What I wrote

715
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: in the notes is he's learning.

716
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 3: He's very much learning. And I think we can say

717
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 3: the same thing about Francisco Alvarez. I think we're watching

718
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 3: these guys kind of grow up together at the same time,

719
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: which is nice because there are two best prospects and

720
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: they're both look like they're gonna be pretty pretty good.

721
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: But it's cool that we're getting you know, we're getting

722
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: these these kinks out right now in the middle of April.

723
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: One hundred percent.

724
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: We'll moving on to Game four here, last game of

725
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 2: the series. The Giants got to micguill early. It was

726
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: another one where the pitching just kind of let us

727
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: down a little bit, and Tyler McGill they kept flashing

728
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: a number about the stark difference between his batting average

729
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: against righty's his batting average against lefties, and in this

730
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 2: game he kind of just got crushed by the lefties,

731
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: kind of killed by them. He could not really find

732
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: a way to get them like out, Like he could

733
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: get ahead, then they'd fight and fight and fight and

734
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: then either work a walk or drop a hit in

735
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: somewhere hit the ball hard.

736
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's something that.

737
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: We've kind of seen but maybe hadn't been practical or

738
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: like put into practice just yet, like we saw Wan

739
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: Soto hit that bomb off in the other day. But

740
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: McGill has been great all year. This was really the

741
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: first hiccup in his in his season.

742
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the first hiccup, but there definitely were these

743
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 3: like same morning signs the other games. He wasn't really

744
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: missing a ton of bats. He was kind of laboring

745
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 3: through these innings. And it's just like it's it's with McGill.

746
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: It's the same thing that we've been saying about him

747
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: for years since he basically came up. Did we need

748
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: these secondaries to take that step? It really feels like

749
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 3: like the silers seems like taking a step back. The

750
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 3: change up doesn't really look as good at day of

751
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 3: the curveball actually is coming along. That was a pitch

752
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: I did like what I saw from it on Sunday.

753
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: But if you guys want one piece of positive vibes

754
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: from migill right now, something that actually could lead to

755
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: some better performances in the future, the fastball is coming

756
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 3: back in a big way. Yes, And Tyler McGill's fastball

757
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 3: is his lynchpin. That is the reason that he ascended

758
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: so quickly in twenty twenty one. That was thing that

759
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 3: made him so good at beginning twenty twenty two. That

760
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 3: probably is also the thing that put him on the

761
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: shelf with the arm trouble. But I think the fact

762
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 3: he's gradually working his velocity backup is a really good

763
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: sign his season hips today in his his fastest pitch

764
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: at ninety seven point three miles an hour and season

765
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 3: hins average fast bball blossie ninety five miles an hour,

766
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 3: and that line right there between where he started the

767
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: year ninety three and a half to where he's already

768
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: been in four starts ninety five.

769
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: That's a huge deal.

770
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: That fastball was the only pitch for him that was

771
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: missing bats, and he gave up a little bit hard

772
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: contact too, but really most of the damage was done

773
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 3: on those secondaries and we need those to show up.

774
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 3: But as far as what is the thing that is happening,

775
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill is tangible that we can look under past

776
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: the results what can mean something in the future. That

777
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: fastball Velosi is very important and like we.

778
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: Also do have to remember it's weird because we saw

779
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: him at the start of last year, but like he

780
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: did miss a lot of time and he's still relatively

781
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: coming back from that and building his arm back up.

782
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: And we always talk about like when you come back

783
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 2: from injuries, pitcher is one of the things that is

784
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 2: like you get velocity back, quicker command is the thing

785
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: that comes second. It does look like right now McGill's

786
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: command is just a little bit off. And again it

787
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: was really like the first bad outcome start that has

788
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: happened this year. So again not gonna ring any alarm

789
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: bells for anybody. And we did talk about how the

790
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: Giants stack their lineups with the opposite hands, so McGill

791
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 2: has a problem with left handed hitters early on this season.

792
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: What did the Giants do every single left the including

793
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: good friend Jock Peterson, who of course had to make

794
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: one of appearance in this series. It was kind of

795
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: the difference in this game. In Game four he also

796
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: had a good good game too. So it's gonna happen.

797
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: If Tyler McGill had a perfect season, guess what, Mets

798
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: would not be losing very many games. You'd be like, oh,

799
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill, sorry, young conversation, he had a great year.

800
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: But like we also that's not realistic all the time.

801
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've had like these weird visions of

802
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill's mess fans forever because there were some people

803
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: when he came up, like comparing him to Jacob de Grom,

804
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 3: which was kind of insane, and then people are like

805
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: fair either not fair to him, either super not fair

806
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: of him. And then people like really trying to hammer

807
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: that down like last offseason before twenty twenty two, like

808
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: is he the next Jacob b ggram, Like, of course,

809
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: he's not next Jack mcroram. There might never be the

810
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: Jacob b Gram. No, not many pitchers pick up two

811
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: ticks of velocity every single year from from twenty seven

812
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: to thirty one. That's never that might never happen again.

813
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 3: Jacob b Ggram's an alien. We know that, we saw

814
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: it happen live. But I just think that Tyler McGill

815
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: also have to keep in mind that I think it

816
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: was a Mets intention for him to still be probably

817
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: pitching in my league right now. Still work out these

818
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: kinks down to Syracuse, still trying to figure out get

819
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: that slider right, get that curve ball right, get that

820
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: change up right, find this fast all bloss that he

821
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: gets triple A.

822
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: Hithers.

823
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 3: He's been thrown into the fire because we've needed him,

824
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: and he's been really valuable for us so far. Cira

825
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: is still under four. He's still giving us ending as

826
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: we do need them. And just keep patients with Tyler mcgillouse.

827
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: I still think there is a solid major league star

828
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: there here. Okay, James, here we go. Now you mentioned

829
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: him earlier.

830
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 4: Do it.

831
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: It's it's the Briga minute, Give me sixty seconds. Jeff

832
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: Brigham has been phenomenal. We talked about him in game

833
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: what was game one? Right?

834
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: He pitched it.

835
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: In Game two, Game four, he had probably the best

836
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: outing of his a season. Like you said, your phone

837
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: was blowing up. You're getting tagged on everything on Twitter.

838
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: You texted me, you were texting me as if this

839
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: was like your own son pitching in like his major

840
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: league debut, when you were so proud of him, So

841
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: give us the Brigham minute.

842
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: I really felt that Jeff Brigham did everything he could

843
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: to bring the Mess back into this game today. I'm

844
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: sure if they would have given in that back, he

845
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: would have hit a home run. Like That's what the

846
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: kind of felt like, how well he was doing based

847
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: on what people are saying to me. He looked so good.

848
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 3: And this was a national television baby. Everyone saw it.

849
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: Everyone on Mets Twitter was like, who's this Jeff Brigham guy?

850
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: This is a guy you guys know. December, I was

851
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: telling you about Jeff Brigham. I was telling he's gonna

852
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 3: be a stun in this ballpen this year. It only

853
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: took three weeks for him to get there.

854
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Three weeks.

855
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: I thought when he got sent down, he was only

856
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: sitting ninety three for a couple months. This was gonna

857
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: take till me May maybe June, and the Mess really

858
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: pushed it up against the wall. But no, the talent

859
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 3: shone through the cream, rises to the top. Pressure makes diamonds.

860
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 3: Jeff Brigham two innings, four strikeouts. I don't even think

861
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: he would touch the ball against him. It was ridiculous.

862
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: He was throwing freaking I don't even know what would

863
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: you call it. Those pitches out there. They were moving

864
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 3: like the frisbee. They're throwing frisbees out there at sweeper.

865
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: He threw thirty two pitches, fourteen of them with those

866
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: sweepers that are just are stupid. Fourteen of those fastballs,

867
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 3: and again, Flossi isn't even there. That's why I even

868
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: told you guys to harp on the Flossi and it

869
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 3: hasn't gotten there, and he's still throwing it with such

870
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: an amazing shape that top of his own because have

871
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: no idea what's coming. And Jeff Brigham is learning. Jeff

872
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: Frigham is getting better. Jeremy Hefner is pricklely fairy.

873
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: That's on him.

874
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: Because he debuted the new color today that he only

875
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 3: used four times against lefties. He got two fouls, one

876
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: call strike, one ball whatever. Three out of four of

877
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: them were strikes, None of them went in play. They

878
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: were swinging through everything. He looks amazing. This is my guy.

879
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: I'm so excited for Jeff Brigham.

880
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: If you guys ever needed a reason to go to

881
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: the YouTube channel and watch a YouTube video, just to

882
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: see James's face. He hasn't stopped smiling for that for

883
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: that Brigham in right there, he's you've been waiting for this.

884
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: You've been waiting for this, like you said, you thought

885
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: it was gonna maybe be May. But it's April twenty third,

886
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: and you get to do the Brigham minute for the

887
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: second episode already. This isn't even the first Brigam minute

888
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: of the year. It's just the best Brigham minute of

889
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: the year. He looks incredible, like Brandom. People on Twitter

890
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: who've never interacted to me were tagging me in tweets like, yo,

891
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: Jeff Brigham. Jameshannon knew.

892
00:31:59,040 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I did know.

893
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: I told you guys, dude, you're good for one random

894
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: reliever a year. I'm so glad it's with the Mets

895
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: of the season.

896
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: No literally, text you, that's a miracle. Mark. Mark knows

897
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: from our years of living together.

898
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 3: And I will pick off one reliever every single off

899
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: season that looks like nothing, and I'll be like, he's

900
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 3: gonna be superstar. Last year, feelix about EASTA and that

901
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: when I hit hard a couple of years ago with

902
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: a Grave and breakout, was on the Grave and Breakout

903
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: before anybody this year with Jeff Brigham and he he

904
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: could be a lynch pins this Mets team in the ballpen.

905
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: Now, he could be a super super good weapon. And

906
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: like you said, he kept us close to this game,

907
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: kept us in it.

908
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: He saw Francisco Alvarez hit that home run that did

909
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: tie the game up for us, which was great because

910
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: Francisco has been struggling.

911
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: There's no doubt.

912
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: We're not gonna pretend like he's playing well by any means.

913
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: There's a lot of great things going on. Like he's

914
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: still hitting the ball extremely hard when he is making out.

915
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: It's like today he grounded out into a double player

916
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: early in the game with the bases loaded, but he

917
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: hit the ball one hundred and ten miles an hour,

918
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: which not a lot of people hit the ball that

919
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: hard when they miss it, and he didn't even really

920
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: square it up. So a lot of people out there

921
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: I've been seeing on Twitter and just maybe maybe this

922
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: is just a little exercise in you know, listening to

923
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 2: Twitter and reading tweets all the time. But a lot

924
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: of negativity, a lot of negativity around your twenty one

925
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: year old Francisco Alvarez, top prospect of Major League Baseball,

926
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: which is a little bit insane because I don't think

927
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: people have been able to really scope what's exactly going

928
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: on here. I mean we we mentioned a couple episodes

929
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: ago some numbers that sounded like they could have been

930
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: franciscou aavers and remind us at home whose numbers were they?

931
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: James, Yeah, I tried to try to. I tried to

932
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: deck the listeners here.

933
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: I read off numbers for a player's first twenty two

934
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 3: play appearances of their career, and I said it was

935
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 3: Fatis Squals, but I was actually lying, and it was

936
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: actually Mike Trapp.

937
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: I got another one for you. Yeah, okay, let's do it.

938
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: Uh nineteen sixty seven a rookie, rookie catcher. You might

939
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: you might remember this guy. He's pretty good, maybe maybe

940
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 2: the grayst catcher of all time. Some would say, uh,

941
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: Johnny Bench. You've heard of him, right?

942
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

943
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: I think I got him.

944
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: Johnny Bench through his first twenty six games of his

945
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: major league career one sixty three average, two oh seven,

946
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: on base for sixty two ops twenty six ops plus,

947
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: he hit one home run, three doubles, a triple, and

948
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: six RBIs. Guess what, guys, you can still be the

949
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: grayst catcher of all time and have a bad month

950
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 2: like this is This is big for a twenty one

951
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: year old who is also now learning to catch a

952
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: major league staff, who's dealing with a lot of pressure,

953
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure put on himself, put on from the outside,

954
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: whatever it is. I'm sure he's feeling a little bit

955
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: of pressure, I will say, though he doesn't look like

956
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: he's pressing though.

957
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: The dude's been smiling.

958
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: He's he caught a phenomenal game in Game four. He

959
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 2: did an exceptional job like all the catching, whatever that's

960
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: been said about him, like, I think the only thing

961
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: is that he keeps the leg on the ground. But

962
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 2: that's a thing that they do teach younger catchers now,

963
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: especially to try and steal more strikes, which he did

964
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: a great job of in Game four. The catching was

965
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 2: the thing we're worried about, and it's looked great. The

966
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: hitting is gonna come. He's been hitting the ball hard.

967
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: He's gonna start barreling it up soon as soon as

968
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: he gets more reps more comfortable. If you're worried about

969
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 2: Francisco Avres. Was this ten games into the twenty twenty

970
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 2: three season, Now, for him. I mean, you're a lost

971
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 2: cause I don't know what we're gonna do with I

972
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: don't even know how I fix you, because you probably

973
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: don't want to be fixed.

974
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: He's played fourteen games in major league career, fourteen his

975
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: cold career last year, in cludeing that's so ridiculous.

976
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean, some of the tweets.

977
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: It was very funny because I was someone tweeted me

978
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: that he's the worst prospect they've ever seen, which is

979
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: just insane. That's just flat out incorrect, and also you're

980
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: gonna be proven wrong. But almost immediately Francisco Alvarez hit

981
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: the home run and I said, big bong Alvarez.

982
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: Dong like I was just I was so excited, was like,

983
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: f you fu few, He's good. Don't do that to me.

984
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: That was a great moment in the game because Alvarez

985
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: did have two opportunities with the basis lower the needed

986
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 3: time he came through, but then hitting home run the

987
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: tie the game and he kind of you know, everything

988
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: is forgiven there and there are again there's some there's

989
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: some worrying things about Fritiscual over to start so far

990
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: that we should point to the fact he is swinging

991
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: on the first pitch a lot over fifty percent of

992
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: the time, which does make me think he is pressing

993
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: a tiny bit.

994
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: He's anxious, he's excited, he's like, hey, I want to

995
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: make something happen. And there was one at bat today

996
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: where he got literally he got screwed multiple times on

997
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 2: strikes though it was the base, it was the basis

998
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 2: loaded the second time when the tires were horrible this year,

999
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: he's horrendous, Like the strike zone was unbelievably huge at

1000
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: times and then unbelievably small at others. To say strike

1001
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: zone was ridiculous on the other edge, they were out there, yeah,

1002
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: schul Alvarez got the brunt of it on a lot

1003
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: of them, so like I could see why he's like, hey,

1004
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to let the umpire stake the bat

1005
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: out of my hands. There was literally one at bad

1006
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: against Ross Strippling where he could not have had a

1007
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: pitch to hit.

1008
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't possible.

1009
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: But then I think we should also point to the

1010
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: fact that Alvarez has looked good defensively, specifically in framing.

1011
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 3: The Mets spoke in the offseason about how they thought

1012
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: he'd made stride specifically in framing during this offseason and

1013
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: right now, Baseball savon it's an imperfect measure, and he

1014
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 3: hasn't caught that many pitches, but he's an eighty third

1015
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 3: percentile in frame strikes. That's like stealing strikes for your team.

1016
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: That's a big thing.

1017
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: If like, if you have told me, through fifteen games

1018
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: for scual Fora's career, his defense will look really good

1019
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 3: and the bat would be, you know, lagging behind. I

1020
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: tell you, hole, Wow, I'm ready for that, because that's

1021
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 3: gonna come. There's no doubt the powers real That home

1022
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 3: running he left Tyler Rodgers was ridiculous. Tyler Rodgers, since

1023
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: you throw a submarine, he kind of treats his pitch

1024
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 3: as the opposite of most other pitchers do. The fastballs

1025
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: will winds up sinking out of the strike zone, and

1026
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 3: the sliders will winds up like having the vertical rise,

1027
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: like the hoppy thing. So he throws that slider up

1028
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 3: and out of the strike zone like Chase guys high

1029
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: and Alvarez hit that that was like it was like

1030
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 3: would you think it was like five five feet up

1031
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 3: in the air. Yeah, it was his eyes like way

1032
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 3: over the fence.

1033
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was after like in at bat where

1034
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 2: Brett Batty like saw three pitches and was like, I

1035
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: don't know what to do.

1036
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening here, Like this guy is from.

1037
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: Another play again we talked about like an alien Tyler

1038
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: Tyler Taylor, which one is he?

1039
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: He's Tyler Taylor came into Also cool at the Giants.

1040
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: Not cool because it's still kind of halted the rally,

1041
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 3: but as we're not going before they're dropping a fly ball.

1042
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: But good on the Giants for using their second best

1043
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: reliever in this situation the fourth inning of a game

1044
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: when they realized how tense the situation was.

1045
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Tyler Rogers, I mean he's like an alien.

1046
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: And Brett Baty saw three pitches and was like they

1047
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: were all strikes, but he was like I don't know

1048
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: what to do with this and I don't play. Mummy's

1049
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: never seen anything like that. And Alvarez just came up

1050
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: as like, first pitch, I'm swinging no matter what, and

1051
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: he hit it. Got I mean he hit a home run.

1052
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 2: It's left field. I think it was like ninety six

1053
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: miles an hour. Got out big home run. I think

1054
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: probably just for him to probably take a little bit

1055
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 2: of a deep breath, be like, all right, I'm back,

1056
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: I'm here, and hopefully this is signs of good things

1057
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 2: to come to.

1058
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: Like, maybe that's the hit he needed to kind of

1059
00:37:59,160 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: relax a little bit.

1060
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: And if it's not, it's not like he's twenty one

1061
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 3: years old. He's four years He's four years younger Thanatlie Rushman.

1062
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: He's a full college experience, younger Thannadlie Rushman and Nadie

1063
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: Rushman was twenty one years old.

1064
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: He was like just stopping to play football. He stopped

1065
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: being the kickoff guy for Oregon State at that point.

1066
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, he is young. He's really young for any

1067
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: Major League baseball player, and he's really young for a catcher.

1068
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: Francis Javros was born November nineteenth, two thousand and one.

1069
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so that's so young.

1070
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 3: He like he God, he's young. He's probably the youngest

1071
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: players in all majorlegue baseball right now.

1072
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 1: Definitely. Yeah.

1073
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's getting better at it. So I just

1074
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 3: again caution all Mets fans to please please give him

1075
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: a beat, because he's going to be good and needed

1076
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 3: to be good. But just to wrap up the road

1077
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: trip in general, Jeffany Neil got really hot in this trip.

1078
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: He got his full season batting lines up back to

1079
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: like three hundred and eight hundred for averageps, exactly where

1080
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 3: they're going to beast. That was amazing, and like we

1081
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 3: lost this game, just kind of feel like because all

1082
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 3: of what happened this road trip ten days, ten games

1083
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: and ten days, not that many long starts. The case

1084
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 3: was only our fourth quality start of the whole season

1085
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: that we've only had five guys go past six innings total.

1086
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 3: Bub had a lot on them. Drew Smith through a

1087
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: change up against the lefty that got hit in the gap.

1088
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: That happens. Whatever, what are you gonna do? Is that

1089
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: a good year?

1090
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 2: That's what happens. Sometimes that's baseball. Not to use that term,

1091
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: but that's baseball sometimes. Not gonna lose any sleep over

1092
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: that one. Overall, the road trip huge success, huge success

1093
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 2: for the Mets.

1094
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: Win.

1095
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: They go seven to three on this road trip, yep,

1096
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 2: which I think if you said that before the road

1097
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 2: trip started, everyone'd be like, great, It's just that you

1098
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: went seven and one and then lost the last two

1099
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: to make it seven to three. That maybe leaves a

1100
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 2: little bit of a sour taste in your mouth. But

1101
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: seven and three on a road trip going out west,

1102
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who you're playing. That's always successful when you

1103
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: can win those games on the road, especially when you

1104
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: come back home to play the Washington Nationals. Before we

1105
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 2: do get going into that, though, we do have the estimate,

1106
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: we're gonna go ahead and bring in John, John, what

1107
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

1108
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 4: Good evening, gentlemen, how do you guys doing doing well?

1109
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: Doing well back home? Saw that last series? Ready to

1110
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: talk about a little estimate here?

1111
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, first of all, one an exciting time

1112
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 4: for New York sports right now, and that's rolling. Got

1113
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 4: a playoff series going on between two Hudson River River rivals.

1114
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 4: The Nicks look good. Unfortunately my Brooklyn Nets, Well, yeah

1115
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 4: it didn't. It didn't work out. You know, I have

1116
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 4: to wrap the burrough Mark. Come on, now, come on, now,

1117
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: that's terrible.

1118
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: How do you just switch like that in the middle

1119
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: of your life.

1120
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 4: I never fully committed, That's the thing, and I'm proud

1121
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 4: of that. You know, I was. I was all in

1122
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 4: before I was even born. With the Mets and the Rangers,

1123
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 4: the Knicks. I never fully committed.

1124
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: I do.

1125
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 3: I have a question, John there's a good chance at

1126
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 3: some point in your life you wind up moving out

1127
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: to Long Island.

1128
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: Are you gonna switches?

1129
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 4: Then it's not the same man. Like I came to Brooklyn,

1130
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 4: and there was a pride that I had. I had

1131
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 4: never been to Brooklyn before. I lived pretty close to Barclays.

1132
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 4: I've spent quite enough time on Long Island. Let me

1133
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 4: let me put it that way. And look, I got

1134
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 4: nothing against any team on Long Island, you know, I don't.

1135
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: I wrote for everyone to have fun, you know, and

1136
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 4: unless it's my team that they're getting directly in the

1137
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 4: way of. Actually, I shouldn't say that. I don't want

1138
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 4: to see the Devil's ever have fun or the Yankees,

1139
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 4: they're right there. But yeah, I mean that that whole

1140
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 4: series is enough to get me stressed and keep me

1141
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 4: up all night. It is kind of late at night,

1142
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 4: so I know that you guys both want to go

1143
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 4: to sleep. I probably passed my bedtime as well. So

1144
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 4: we'll get right into the estimate. This week mark the

1145
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 4: raiding Champion, the three for the four former Mets, I

1146
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 4: should say, combining for six hits in the Mets Giants series.

1147
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 4: Another former Met coming to town his first return back

1148
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 4: to City Field, and of course I'm talking about Dominic Smith,

1149
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 4: who obviously signed with the Nationals this pass offseason. Trevor

1150
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: Williams also making his return to City Field, but Trevor

1151
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 4: Williams will not be hitting. Dominic Smith will be hitting.

1152
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 4: And that brings us to our estimate topic for this series.

1153
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 4: Maybe Trevor Williams uses the pin shit or you never

1154
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 4: know if games go along. The estimate topic for this week,

1155
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 4: and you guys both got to get thinking caps on here,

1156
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 4: it's going to be total bit by players who played

1157
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 4: first base at some point for the Mets in twenty

1158
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 4: twenty two. Okay, so in this series there are three

1159
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: guys that can make that claim. Obviously Pete Alonzo, who

1160
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 4: obviously probably is going to Jackie totals up here, yes

1161
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: a little bit, obviously, Dominic Smith, and the tricky one

1162
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 4: is Mark Canna. Those are three of the seven different

1163
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 4: guys that played first base at one point or another

1164
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 4: for the Mets last year. The others for those at

1165
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: home wondering, Darren Ruff, JD. Davis, who the Mets just saw,

1166
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 4: Patrick Mazika that's the wild card, and of course James McCann.

1167
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: So that runs out.

1168
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: I've got my number. I've done some quick math.

1169
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 2: I wrote down the numbers that I think each of

1170
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: these guys will have in the series. And I like

1171
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: where I'm at. I like where I'm at. James.

1172
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of writing from James.

1173
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 3: I got mine too. It's less day a vacation here.

1174
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 3: The pen is very bad, so I'm writing out a

1175
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: paper towel, but I got my number.

1176
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: You've been writing your diary, been writing, lighting the pages

1177
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: on fire, of course.

1178
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well so I have to do at this point,

1179
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: all right.

1180
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 4: At least, James, give me the three favorite things you've

1181
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 4: done in La. Obviously you saw the Mets win. That's great.

1182
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: What else?

1183
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, saw the Mets win. Saw the Max Shure situation live.

1184
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: That was amazing.

1185
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: I went to it, and my friends brought me to

1186
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 3: an amazing taco place in Venice, like Inland a little bit.

1187
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: It's just it's just La.

1188
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 3: The big thing is that people just have these like

1189
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 3: white tents with big grills making tacos on the street.

1190
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 3: This one was on Lincoln Avenue and it was incredible.

1191
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 3: They were just so freaking taco tacos on Lincoln number two.

1192
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: I was look an amazing bike ride, like all the

1193
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: way from like mar Vista like down this like canal,

1194
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 3: all the way up to the Santa Monica Pier and

1195
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: then back. I was amazing, probably in seven eight mile

1196
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 3: bike ride one day in the sun. I got crazy

1197
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 3: tandlines right now, It's unbelievable. I had a towel over

1198
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 3: my next I was going to the beach after. And

1199

Speaker 3: I have a very curved like tandline like in the

1200
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 3: middle of my shoulder right here. And I've been wearing

1201
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 3: sandals a lot of this trip because like beach sand,

1202
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:55,160

1222
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 4: play the city field. It feels like a lifetime ago

1223
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 4: that the Mets won that afternoon game against the Padres.

1224

1229
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: I almost did ten. I went against the last second.

1230
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: I gave some reasoning to us.

1231
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: I love show. I love showing the work.

1232
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: I had a college professor who I got the answers

1233
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 2: right and took off points because I got I didn't

1234
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: show my work, like you didn't show your work. You

1235
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: didn't show it the way that I wanted you to.

1236
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: I'm like, listen, like, South Carolina, this is stupid. I

1237
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: learned how to do math up North. We're just a

1238
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 2: little bit smart. That's how it works. I'm not gonna

1239
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 2: do it your slow, stupid way. Why would I show

1240
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 2: you the way if I get the answer right. She's like, well,

1241
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 2: I can't prove that you knew what you were doing.

1242
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: Was like, I got the answer right. What do you

1243
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: mean prove I know what I'm doing?

1244
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: Mark? I know you all have known you for a

1245
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: long time.

1246
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 3: College professors exist to take small points away from your assignments.

1247
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: You're the anthithesis of the college student, for sure.

1248
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 2: They they love taking points off of my assignment.

1249
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: So my grades they weren't great.

1250
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 2: You got it.

1251
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 4: You gotta got a top quality education South Carolina.

1252
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 2: Come on now, Oh I loved it. I had a

1253
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: great time. But I just my grades are that great.

1254
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: But John, as always, he's get degrees and I'm living

1255
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: proof as John is always.

1256
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: It was a pleasure. Thanks for doing the estimate. We'll

1257
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: see you in a couple of days at City Field.

1258
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: Looking forward to guys you soon.

1259
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, there is I'm sneaking back. I'm sneaking

1260
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: back a little bit into the estimate. You know we're

1261
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:16,959
Speaker 2: gonna make it a game. You know we're gonna somehow

1262
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 2: te We still don't have a punishment picked out, But

1263
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 2: well we'll get to that at some point.

1264
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 3: The leader in the clubhouse right now is being a

1265
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 3: fan for a whole game. Yeah yeah, Well metal cleats

1266
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 3: got click clack in the in the concourse, as long

1267
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 3: as the Mets, you think that a lot of through

1268
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 3: security with the metal Cleats.

1269
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: We'll probably have to like have someone bring him to

1270
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: the office and change. That's fair.

1271
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, as as just where the credentials around, and I

1272
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: think we'll be all right. So let's go ahead and

1273
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: talk about that national series. We briefly talked about mister

1274
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 2: Dominic Smith making his return to Cityfield. Okay, so let

1275
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 2: me ask you this, Tom Food, or do people cheer

1276
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: for dom Smith?

1277
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna be. I think he's gonna be mostly a

1278
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: cheer a little bit of a boo. Okay, I mean,

1279
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: I think I'll be this quiet. I'm not gonna met

1280
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: rafter them. He came up, he played well, sometimes played

1281
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: not well other times like that's fine, no standing ovation

1282
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: by any means, but I'm not gonna boo dom Smith.

1283
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: Clap it up.

1284
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 2: You did have some good moments for us, some big hits,

1285
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 2: and you know, again, it just didn't work out for

1286
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 2: him in the end. But let's talk about the Nationals,

1287
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: who are playing a little hot right now. I think

1288
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: they took two or three from the Twins, which is

1289
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 2: making you sweat a little bit because the.

1290
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: A's look horrible. Yeah, you're pulling away.

1291
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,479
Speaker 3: And I think this whole as moving from Oaklands Vegas

1292
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 3: thing is gonna make this team really just folded themselves.

1293
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 3: And they might they might win fifty games. You think

1294
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: you're gonna think it might be taking you out for

1295
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 3: Peter Lugers in October.

1296
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: Can't wait. But uh yeah, this Nationals team is interesting.

1297
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: I think that's the way I'm gonna put it, because

1298
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 2: they could they could win a game like they're they're not.

1299
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: They could literally win a game. Yeah they're not so

1300
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: so awful, but they're definitely not okay.

1301
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think this Nationals team has a lineup

1302
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 3: of a lot of players who I'm not gonna tell

1303
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: you they're good. If I'm gonna tell you they're definitely annoying.

1304
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 3: There's something that they do that will be that could

1305
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 3: be problematic for sure. And one thing about most of

1306
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: hitlers in the lineup are they have a lot of

1307
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 3: free swingers between c J. Abrams, Luis Garcia. Joymane says

1308
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 3: Lane Thomas his team likes to take hacks.

1309
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: So Luis Garcia three walks this far through sixty appearances

1310
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: this year, so maybe maybe this is a new Louis Garcia,

1311
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 2: although his numbers have not gotten any better. So maybe

1312
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 2: you want the free swing in Louis Garcia if you're

1313
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: a Nationals fan.

1314
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: He's the same guy.

1315
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 3: One guy though, who doesn't take, who doesn't just swing

1316
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 3: at everything, and who hits the leadoff in this line up,

1317
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 3: usually someone who's actually jumped out to a pretty good year.

1318
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: Someone's been a target for me in deeper fantasy leagues.

1319
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 3: Alex Call. Alex Call right now is running a sixteen

1320
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 3: percent walk grate. He's not hitting the ball very hard,

1321
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 3: but he's playing in the play a lot, and he's

1322
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 3: a guy who I'm just really nervous just gets a

1323
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 3: big hit in the series and.

1324
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: I really don't want him to. Yeah, he can see

1325
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: that now. He could be the new Andrew Stevenson. Let's

1326
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: be honest. Still there, I.

1327
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 3: Honestly thought about that, Beau. I didn't see Andrew seems

1328
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 3: on this roster.

1329
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: He might be somewhere.

1330
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 2: I don't see him on that because if he's in

1331
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,919
Speaker 2: the national organization, surely he has to be playing. They've

1332
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: also got Stone Garrett who's been scalding hot for them.

1333
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 2: Stone Garrett has been on a tear since getting called up.

1334
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 2: Also a great baseball name, Stone Garrett.

1335
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: That's a good game.

1336
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: The team also recently just acquired GA Downs prospect Juter Downce.

1337
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna be on the bench, Mike Mike into a game.

1338
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 3: And old friend Victor Robles actually kind of played well

1339
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 3: this year so far. I mean, yeah, you know, but

1340
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 3: I mean he's he's like he's learning how to walk,

1341
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 3: which was a huge thing for Victor Roble. He's up

1342
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 3: like nine percent. Well he was only striking out thirteen

1343
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: percent of the time. Now, so that just that much

1344
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 3: contact with as much speed as he has creates a

1345
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 3: skill with his good defense they of course still has,

1346
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 3: that creates a skill set that's actually major league baseball player.

1347
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 2: Now, there's a lot of little favorites of yours on

1348
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 2: this team, just like guys that you like a little

1349
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: A couple of things from like got Joey Manes's Joey Baseball.

1350
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: Joe Baseball.

1351
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 2: We know, we know he could swing the bat a

1352
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 2: little bit he's been struggling. He got Lane Thomas, who

1353
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 2: the deep the real listeners of the Mets of podcast

1354
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 2: know about Lane Thomas, and James been all over him.

1355
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: He's struggling a little bit to start the year.

1356
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 2: Is look great, Jamier Candelario, that's been your guy too.

1357
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: You love some Jamer.

1358
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 2: Shout out to Bengal as well for some reason, always

1359
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: a Jamer Candelario guy. He's playing third base every day.

1360
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 2: But you hear the names that we're saying, and you know,

1361
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: this just isn't a very good team.

1362
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 3: And also the two two former top prospects of the

1363
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 3: team were also playing okay balls when Keeper Ruiz and

1364
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 3: ceej Abrams, Like, basically, this team isn't good. But the

1365
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 3: lineup itself is rich with guys who could be Major

1366
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 3: League Baseball players.

1367
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 2: The A's walk all over them. The Nationals, you still

1368
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: have to play pretty good baseball to beat them. You

1369
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 2: can't just show up to the park and beat the Nationals.

1370
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: That's how we'll put it.

1371
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 2: But if you do show up to the park and

1372
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 2: play just a little bit of baseball, you should you should,

1373
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: you shouldn't have a difficult time and on the mound

1374
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 2: They've actually not been bad starting pitching wise, They've had

1375
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 2: a couple of good starts by guys when former Met

1376
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: Trevor Williams has looked great for this team. Again, what

1377
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 2: do you know, Trevor Williams is just kind of solid.

1378
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 3: Now the Mets still won the Trevor Williams PCA trade.

1379
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: I guess there's no there's no doubt of that. But

1380
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 3: I mean he's been good.

1381
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: He was always good.

1382
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 3: Now we're gonna get to a situation where Monday the

1383
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 3: Mets are not name they starting pitch it right.

1384
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because they have the off day a Monday,

1385
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: so Tuesday, Tuesday is gonna be the day and they

1386
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 2: don't really have to because now you have that extra

1387
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: off day, so you can almost have your choice between two.

1388
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that that's gonna be.

1389
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 3: It would me like we can't with not a job

1390
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 3: to speculate, but we know who the Nationals have this

1391
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 3: series is gonna be Josiah Gray, who the Mets have

1392
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 3: hit a lot home runs off in the past. Mackenzie Gore, who,

1393
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 3: while he has some things he does well, specifically he's

1394
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 3: breaking ball from the left side to get the velocity

1395
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 3: back I'm not really afraid of Mackenzie Gore at all.

1396
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 3: And then we're gonna we're gonna see all French Trevor

1397
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 3: Williams Thursday Night.

1398
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully.

1399
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 2: The thing with Mackenzie Gore two is that he doesn't

1400
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 2: always attack the own. He's a bit of a nibbler

1401
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: and he kind of lives around the outside a lot.

1402
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: And for the Mets who just break pictures down have

1403
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 2: really good at bats, Like even today when Ross Strippling

1404
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 2: was kind of kind of grooving at one point, the

1405
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 2: Mets were still just like making him throw a lot

1406
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 2: of pictures for a guy who doesn't throw a lot

1407
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 2: of pictures, who was a very like he's a strike thrower.

1408
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 2: So like the matchup against Mackenzie Gore, I'm saying it,

1409
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: but like I feel good about that one with the

1410
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 2: way that this Mets offense works.

1411
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also just another big part about this Nationals team,

1412
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 3: a real reason that that you probably think that you're

1413
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 3: gonna have a chance against them. I'll read you some

1414
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 3: of the pictures in their bullpen right now. Yeah, read

1415
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 3: me some names.

1416
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 2: Hoby Harris, who, Saddeus Ward, Fatteus Ward. That these are

1417
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: actually two guys I've never heard of old friend Anthony

1418
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 2: Ban Bonda, Rossmo Ramirez, Mason Thompson, Closer extraordinary, Kyle Finagan,

1419
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 2: Hunter Harvey, and mister punk rock Hair. Get to these

1420
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: starting pitchers, you probably have a good shot against this ballpen.

1421
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 2: And I just also realized was looking online. I think

1422
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 2: Buddo is eligible.

1423
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: No, I don't think Budo is.

1424
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, Hunter Harvey although we do know he throws

1425
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 2: like one hundred, so he does. He does throw one

1426
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. But again, meta beat the Nationals

1427
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 2: should take this series.

1428
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: Obviously. I go out and play the games. We know

1429
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: that very well. We know the Nationals played a little

1430
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: bit of.

1431
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: Spoilers last year for us, so really really love to

1432
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 2: just beat them, beat them really badly. This this upcoming week,

1433
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 2: we're back home at City Field. Super excited to get

1434
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 2: back to some games, which will be really nice. It

1435
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 2: feels like forever, like we talked about with John, haven't

1436
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 2: seen James in like two weeks. I've seen anybody.

1437
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: It's been a long time.

1438
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 2: So excited to get back to City Field, hopefully get

1439
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: some wins against the fifth place Washington Nationals. Anything else
