1
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: What is up?

2
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: Up Podcast. Just wrapped up a somewhat long four game

4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: series out in LA against the Dodgers. It was good,

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: it was bad. It was good, it was bad. There

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: was a roller coaster of emotions, frustrating series. Could have

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: been worse, could have been a lot better too. We'll

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: talk about all four games very much in depth. It

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: was really good baseball. Honestly, if you're a fan of baseball,

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: these were some of the best games you could have

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: watched during the week here between the Mets and the

12
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: Dodgers hopefully and ANSCS preview later down the line. We

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: also got Michael Kay's back. We're gonna talk about him

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: a little bit later. He went off again on his

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: radio show. He did the same thing, so we'll talk

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: about that in a second as well, and and talk

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: about the upcoming series going to Colorado, Francisco, indoor injury,

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: Mark Viento's injury. There's a lot of things going on here.

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,679

Speaker 2: guess that's.

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Pretty much it. James, how are you feeling after this

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: long series? Disappointed in the way that it wound up?

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: I also think that based on the way that the

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: game on Wednesday ended and the way the game on

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: Thursday went, well, it sucks. It's horrible. I really doubt

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: you just you kind of let them have one there,

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: You let them off the hook. Wound up as a

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: nice heat check, truthfully, because I think if the Mets

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: win that game, as they should live on Thursday, then

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the head start to get very very big, We start

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: to think very very vivacious thoughts. Things would have felt

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: a lot different this episode, heading into this weekend, after

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: the Rockies, heading into the next home stand, after that,

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: heading into our first huge set of the season with

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: the Phillies and the Braves if you win that game.

45
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying any silver lining bullshit, but I

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: am saying that it is a very different feeling, but

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: one that's deserved based on how we played on Thursday.

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if we won Thursday, which we very much

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 2: should have won that game, should have won that game.

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: There was a lot of mistakes made in that, a

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: lot of errors, a lot of just sloppy, sloppy baseball

52
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: all around. All of a sudden, we're talking on this episode,

53
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: we're probably a little intolerable. If we win three out

54
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: of four from the Dodgers and take six out of

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: seven of them in the season series, that would have

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: been incredible stuff for a team that is supposed to

57
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: be one of the best teams in Major League Baseball.

58
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they are the best team in Major League Baseball.

59
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Five out of seven would been five out of seven. Oh,

60
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: five out of seven?

61
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: My bad?

62
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, not six ass seven?

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, right, yeah. I can't do math.

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: I can't do math.

65
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: It's been a long day.

66
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: I was streaming for like four hours watching that game,

67
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: and it was, oh, I forgot you stream this game,

68
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: stream this game, the ups and downs, and that would

69
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: really just kick the shit out of me.

70
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: A real eighth ing melt down there. Huh oh totally.

71
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: I went silent for an entire like five minutes after

72
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: sorry Marte got picked off at third. I just walked away,

73
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: walked back. I'm like, so what happened?

74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, just frustrating. Though, Let's just like, let's look

75
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: back at this game. I think we want to start

76
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: get theirsday's game freshest, everybody's mind, freshest in our own

77
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: as well. You start out this game blistering hot, and

78
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: you're like, wow, like the way that because especially if

79
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: the way Wednesday's game ended, the Mets weren't getting a

80
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: little cocky, like you know, beating the Dodger six nothing,

81
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: playing the water bottle game like, that's not that's all

82
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 1: good fun. We all love to we love to see

83
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: this team like bonding and having fun at being together.

84
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: But to do that in the other team's field that

85
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: knocked you out in the playoffs last year, that's not

86
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: That's not nothing.

87
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: But I will tell you this, I was shocked Keith

88
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: loved it. I couldn't believe that Keith or and Andez,

89
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: of all people who I thought would have been maybe

90
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: a Crotchery old man over what was going on. He

91
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: absolutely loved that the Mets were doing that and just

92
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: kind of letting loose.

93
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: It's a long season.

94
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: I think sometimes us as fans look into that a

95
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: little bit more, maybe than the players themselves even do it.

96
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: Like the Dodgers gave up in that game. They took

97
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: out Freddy Freeman. They brought in a rookie who has

98
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: nothing really going for him right now.

99
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: He might be a good pitcher at some point.

100
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers nothing against him as a player for

101
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: his career, but they pumped it as soon as they

102
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: went down six. They're like, this game's over. The intensity

103
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: got taken away and for the messic kind, just loosen up,

104
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: play the bottle flip game. Luis an Helocunya wearing the

105
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: helmet like that. It was nice to see them take

106
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: a break because there have been times in this season

107
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: already where we felt that they have been a little

108
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: bit tense, especially on the road.

109
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: Totally, I'm saying that was great, but the way it

110
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: led into Thursday afternoon, that's where I go. But the

111
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, that's where I'm like, okay, holy shit,

112
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Like this team is now putting work on the Los

113
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers. Like when you have a four to nothing

114
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: lead after three innings where you got the home run

115
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: from Pilanzo in the first again after two runs a

116
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: kind of Wednesday, and then back to back home runs

117
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: from then one Marte who you're now suddenly the fact

118
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: on one and two heads in this lineup, and then

119
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Bret Bay gets the sacrifice fly that was literally like

120
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: a half an inch deep enough into in the outfield

121
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: to score Pilanza from third. They're like, wow, is now

122
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: we're actually cooking with gas? Like if we can make

123
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: this move and win another game of blow off at over,

124
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: the Dodgers take three or four in their house like

125
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: we started the show, like now things suddenly feel a

126
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: lot different about who where's the hierarchy in the National League.

127
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Of course we blew it at the end of that,

128
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and I kind of let those feelings go away, But

129
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying about how to lead into Wednesday

130
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: led to those instant feelings on Thursday.

131
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean that game on Thursday two was

132
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: so up and down where Peterson they had the four

133
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: nothing lead, they gave up the three runs then pretty

134
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: instantly after they took that four nothing lead, but then

135
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: he was shut down in nails again. I mean to

136
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: go seven innings against the Dodgers, who are one of

137
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: the best offenses in Major League Baseball. It cannot be

138
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: understated how incredibly valuable David Peterson is to this team,

139
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: will continue to be this team, and hopefully is for

140
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: the foreseeable future.

141
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: That little rally, too, was so annoying because it all

142
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: starts as they all rallies like this do. Even though

143
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: in the eighth day we're gonna talk about a little

144
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: bit with a bullshit walk to a terrible hitter, Mceuil Rojas,

145
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: you know him, like to walk mcgil Rojas was one

146
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: out ahead of show Hasani. It's just like you are

147
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: inviting trouble so readily into your life, and we have

148
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Dave Peterson's amazing pitcher. I shot David Peterson out in

149
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: my lastube video talk about breakout pittches this season in

150
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: baseball in general, and he's he's taking that step. He

151
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: put himself into that echelon. But to still make a

152
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: mistake like that where you give Miguil Rojas four straight

153
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: pitches out of the strike sown, some of them close,

154
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: some of them maybe you know different up part season

155
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: a different way, but it's just like you can't you

156
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: can't let Miguel Rojas look at pitches like Dana himself

157
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: get on base and ahead of Otani, Betts, Smith and

158
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: even Taskernez in this line. That was that was the issue.

159
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: And even with Shohy like it was a poorly hit

160
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: ground ball that somehow got through.

161
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that that one found a way through.

162
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts has a good at bat, Will Smith hits

163
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: the ball hard, he gets pay Oscar Hernandez beautifully. Like

164
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: there were good moments, but it was just like a

165
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: lapse in focus for like just five to ten minutes

166
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: made this game a little bit closer, but then he

167
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: locked in again. He had what maybe fifteen bad pitches

168
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: the entire day. Basically, yeah, he's changed. It was at

169
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: a little floaty again. It's been a pitch has not

170
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: been as consistent for him recently. Same with the current.

171
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: But it's just like he had the command of a

172
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: sinker in his fasketball were so good. He was always

173
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: able to to get out of the jams. He could

174
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: I thought Luis and Helcunia played an admirable shortstop in

175
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Francisco in Door's absence.

176
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: I think there were times like he turned a couple

177
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: nice little plays. There were a couple of plas.

178
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

179
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: I was like, there was a couple of times where

180
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: I'm like that has to be a double play, Like

181
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: how did we not turn two there on? I don't

182
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: remember exactly who was running, but it.

183
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Was it was. It was the end. It was Taskar

184
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: and this started then slow developing double play, yes, but

185
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: started with Migueil went to him. But again it's why

186
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: it said admirable, not good. It's fairy like he put

187
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: puts balls into that game, but he didn't exactly could

188
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: come through. Same same was the same with the play.

189
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: But it's just another game, which was similar to the

190
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: game on Tuesday night where there were plenty of chances.

191
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: In the middle innings of this game, you have men

192
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: in scoring position, which has been the story of the

193
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: met season this year, and we're not saying that stories

194
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: and like this is like, oh my god, s Guy's

195
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: fallowing fiasco thing, but like this is still team stills

196
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: the best record in National League. You just had you

197
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: had a lot of chances to attack on runs and

198
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: not leave this as a one run game. And you

199
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: and you did stretch out to lead briefly in the

200
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: eighth inning with Pete because he's the only guy who

201
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: has been able to come through those situations. But the

202
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: fourth inning, the fifth inning, seventh inning, the eighth inning,

203
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: like there are guys on base, not seventh thing. That

204
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: was the fifth inning and the fourth inning, sixth inning,

205
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: and just just no one got that big hit. No

206
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: one stretched that and we had the opportunities to and

207
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: we saw this whole series. We've seen this whole season.

208
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: We've seen him going back to the last season. When

209
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: you give this Dodgers team one tiny little bit of life,

210
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: they always find a way to take it.

211
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to address the elephant in the room, the

212
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: baby play at the plate was so insanely bad. It

213
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: was actually shocking how bad that was. And I don't

214
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: know what the fuck happens with Mets players throwing the

215
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: ball to home blate, but there's a shared aptitude that

216
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: comes when they have to make a play from the

217
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: infield throwing it home. He double clutched it, He had

218
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: Will Smith dead the rights. You have to get rid

219
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: of that ball immediately, as soon as he made the

220
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: pump fake, they were fucked because you have to throw

221
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 2: that ball.

222
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Home the way that rundowns work.

223
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: When a guy like that is running home, you get

224
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: the ball and you run him back to third base.

225
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: You're going to get him out. You're professional baseball players.

226
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: You get a guy in a pickle. Will Smith's not

227
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: the fleet as a foot, You're going to get him out.

228
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna tag him out. You're gonna make a great

229
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: play the pump fake to then the spike, and then

230
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: it kicked up. Riguarrett had to work with all to

231
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: catch it, but then Alvarez was still standing on the plate.

232
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: It was spectacularly unspectacular. And they made that play two

233
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: nights ago with Otani and they got out of that ending.

234
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: But this problem again with that ending. It started off

235
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: with a walk to Mookie Betts and another situation where

236
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: there were four straight pitches out of the strikes one

237
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: any of them not even competitive. And then, to make

238
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: matters worse, the first two pitches to Will Smith, also

239
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: out of the strike zones. Now you have a situation

240
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 2: where Will Smith, who's this year's tisically been one of

241
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: the most effective hitters in baseball.

242
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: You're throwing him a two zero pitch. You haven't been

243
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: around the zone. This team has seen you a lot

244
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: within the last week. They kind of have a good

245
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: idea of what's coming next, and you've you've now built

246
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: an issue here. I'm not blaming Rigerecks. He's been fantastic player.

247
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: I think he's actually just him being overworked. But yes,

248
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: before that situation, like there were we created a problem

249
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: and then that mad was made much worse by Brett

250
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: Bay making a terrible throw, and that's the issue. And

251
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: then also after that, Mike Condford of getting the game

252
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: winning hit, the icing on the cake, after he has

253
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: an abysmal series, after everyone Gary and Keith talked about

254
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: him being so bad the whole series is like now

255
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: he finally comes through in the clutch and now look

256
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: we've done.

257
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: Oh on my stream today, he came up a couple

258
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: times I think in this game before with runners on

259
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: and just couldn't get the big hit. I'm like, I

260
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: know he's gonna hurt me at some point, Just like

261
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: when is it gonna be? I know it's gonna be

262
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: at some point. Then we got to hit him, like

263
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: there it is. Michael Confordo stabbed the knife in my

264
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: heart and twisted. It was just it was really really

265
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: frustrating how we ended this game, especially because we got

266
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: a great offensive game out of Starling Marte outside of

267
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: the base paths to go three for four with a double,

268
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: a home run.

269
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: He was swinging the bat really well.

270
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: He's low key been swinging the bat really well ever

271
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: since we called him out and said that he hasn't been.

272
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: He's been looking a little bit more like Starling Marte

273
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: of old, where he doesn't look like a decrepit old man.

274
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: It's really really nice. And then for Peter Lonzo to

275
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: play like he was, to play like he has in LA,

276
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: he's so locked into play day intentionally walk Soto to

277
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: get to him. That was another boneheaded decision by Dave Roberts.

278
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: Like the Dodgers fucked up to in this one. We

279
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: just couldn't step on the throats on the defensive side,

280
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: if that makes sense.

281
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: No, and this whole series we let Jack Dryer just

282
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: run through us. I can't believe that the Dodgers keep

283
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: spawning these animals out of their Ballpender does have good stuff.

284
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: What's his deal? It's another lefty with a crazy fastball.

285
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: It's very similar to Vessi and that's kind of what

286
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: he's able to have. And he has a curveball that's

287
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: just good enough to get over against the righty's when

288
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: he has to get them, but the slider's good enough

289
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: against right as well. He's just he's a free getting Also,

290
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Le Jose ran to get a few frames around without

291
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: jumping on him. That's annoying, But I don't even though, like,

292
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: do you hit well enough to win this game? You

293
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: pitch well enough to win this game? It comes back

294
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: to the defense, and it does go to show how

295
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: important a guy like Francisco Lindor is. I'm not saying

296
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: any of these situations would have been different with him

297
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: on the field. Baby's been one of the better defensive

298
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: players in this team. He didn't make the play at

299
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: the end of the game, but another weird caveat about Baby,

300
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: So now he's four for his last twenty. The bad

301
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: got cold again and this play was egregiously bad when

302
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: he's been great defensively. Isn't it funny that the second

303
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: the pressure's off him again, when Mark Fiantos goes on

304
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: the injured list, he's the absolute bona fide every day player.

305
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: I know maris who got to start the other day

306
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: too when Fiantos was out, but against the against the

307
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: lefty Kershaw. Isn't it funny that again Brett Baby has

308
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: the lapse in in focus when the job is completely

309
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: his and it's not more fighting for every single breath

310
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: you have.

311
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: That's crazy how that works, I guess. I mean, even

312
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: think about it. With Viento's coming into this year, the

313
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: job was his right and he has formed. It's like

314
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: these guys need super, super healthy competition. I wish Mauricio

315
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: could have played better in his two games, but let's

316
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: be honest, he's up way earlier than the Mets ever

317
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 2: wanted him up right now, and that's because of the

318
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 2: Viento's injury.

319
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: No people were talking about Marisio would have made that

320
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: play at the third base. It's like, guys, pretty's Brett

321
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Baty had a month of Worth's a very good performance

322
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: at third, but like he can't really chastise him for

323
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: making that play. Ryan Maricio, we remember when over the

324
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: two years ago we were talking about moving him to

325
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: third base. He's played like a handful of innings at

326
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: third base. His entire professional career like him. I thought

327
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: it was crazy two nights ago and we talked about

328
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: this over text message. I don't know if we want

329
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: to move straight backwards now jump back to the beginning

330
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: of the series. But for the Mets to throw out

331
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: the lineup that had Baby at second base, Mauricio at

332
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: third base, Jeff McNeil at center fields, and Griffin Canning

333
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: on the mound, I was like, what what's going on

334
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: with with the defense of this game here?

335
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: I mean, at some point it's going to turn around

336
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: the defensive issues that the Mets have had and the

337
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: and the way that they go about defense, because we

338
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: know David Certain's teams and they played good defense last

339
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: year too, Like they are good. They have good defensive players,

340
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: but there's just been so many weird plays. And maybe

341
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: that's just because they're trying with the Dodgers to get

342
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: a little bit creative. Is that a possibility here, trying

343
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: to because like I know, make you know how a

344
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: bad game in Game four, but I think they do

345
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: want to get him in the lineup more, especially when

346
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: the other option is Akunya and Mauricio, who neither of

347
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: them are hitting.

348
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: Fine. I'm fine with that, but I'm just saying that

349
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: it's it was a situation where it seemed like the

350
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: Mets went overtly for heavy offensive line up against Tony

351
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: Gonsolon eight. Well, it did work. It worked, They won

352
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: the game. Book They also only got four hits, but yeah,

353
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: and they all they all came in from the same guy,

354
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: but five ur be out by pie Alonzo and one

355
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: from the rest of the team. But it was a

356
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: situation where it did seem like they did something that

357
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: was kind of against the grain for the way they

358
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: usually make decisions, at least they have under David Seerns

359
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: for the last two seasons. It did work, it did

360
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: win you stuff the game, But we've seen the Mets

361
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: kind of use these different offensive defensive line was based

362
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: on who was pitching the season, Like we've seen the

363
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Mets go heavier for an infield defense and kind of

364
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: weakened the outfield defense, specially Jeff and theiald center. We

365
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: play Holmes the mount and kind of do the reverse

366
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: with other guys in the mouth. This is Griffin Canning,

367
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: who's predominantly been a flyball pitcher this season, and now

368
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: suddenly you're getting bad defense from both spots, so he

369
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: actually Griff Canand's been arounball guys here, but only about

370
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: fifty percent, so not super indicative of anything moving forward,

371
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: but one thing also, I guess it goes to show

372
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: how comfortable they were with Brett Bay playing second base

373
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: early in this game. It was a funny situation where

374
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: I looked that line up before the game, I was like, WHOA, Like,

375
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: I hope we score seven this game. Yeah.

376
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: I mean we were texting about it and we were like,

377
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: I feel like this is not the most defensive lineup.

378
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: They just said we're gonna have to score a lot

379
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: of runs. We're gonna have to score more runs with

380
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: than them to win, and go figure, this is the

381
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: game they allowed one run.

382
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and then but that's how worked that said. Griffin

383
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: Canning showed up and went dog all the way. This

384
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: was a homecoming for Griffin Canning, a Southern California kid.

385
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I think Gary and Keith was saying, I don't remember

386
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: who was his only starting against the Dodgers' career, or

387
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: just his last start against the Dodgers that he got

388
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: busted up by this team. There was a home run

389
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: by Bets I think by j D. Martinez who's Dodger

390
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: at the time, I think, possibly Freeman, and it was

391
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: a very very bad game for him. So he came

392
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: out in this game and it was just slyther Slythers, Slyer,

393
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: slytherer a bunch of big balls. Change up to show

394
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Hayo Tani in the inside of the play, we had

395
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: show Hey chirping at the umpire, which I don't really

396
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: have never seen that ever in my life. It was

397
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: the ball was about an inch off the play, but

398
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: they got in his head so much that he let

399
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: one go the next pitch, the next pitch that was

400
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: right in his zone too, but it was a it

401
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: was another star with Griffin Canning. We were just like,

402
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: damn like I I could I could definitely see a

403
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: world where this stops working at some point in the

404
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: next few months. But at this exact moment, like You've

405
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: given us everything we ever could have possibly imagined. And

406
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: it all comes from him being just cerebral and kind

407
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: of witty on the mound, throwing pitches in certain situations,

408
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: certain locations that seems like the hitters are not expecting,

409
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: and that's how he gets away with all his nonsense.

410
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something insane right now, What if it

411
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: doesn't stop? What if he's just like a good pitcher

412
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: and sometimes these guys and I think this gets lost

413
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: in the school of professional baseball ish stuff right now

414
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: because we have so much numbers and we look at

415
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: things so much under the microscope that you can be like, well,

416
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: Gryffin Canning's pitches are like this, and they don't do

417
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: this and they don't do that. What if Like a

418
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: big advantage that pitchers used to have back in the

419
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: day was like they just like pitched like.

420
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm not good, he does.

421
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm not comparing him to Greg Maddox or any of

422
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: those guys. I'm not, but like one of their big

423
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: things where they just pitched the fuck out of you,

424
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: And Gryffin Canning was pinpoint accuracy against the Dodgers. It's

425
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: hard when every pitch is seemingly on the black. That

426
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: add back to Otani, like you mentioned, he was not missing.

427
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: I almost was gonna say throw him out for the

428
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: seventh because his sixth inning was maybe the best thing

429
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: of the entire game for him.

430
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: The thing with Canning is that it's the way he

431
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: varies his pitches by count. If you're a hitter, you

432
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: don't know, because he really mixes the fastball, the change up,

433
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: and the slitherer well, especially leading on that slider of

434
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: late the lad this starts in particular, and if you

435
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: don't know if that pitch is coming for a second

436
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: or third, but you know he can throw all three

437
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: of them in his zone. It's a very unique profile,

438
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: especially when he got a couple fastballs in this game

439
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: up to ninety five ninety six miles an hour. Like

440
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: when you have that and you're sneaking that fastball over

441
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: for what strike two? Words strike three, then it becomes

442
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: a different situation for Griffin Canning, especially when he's able

443
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: to break off those sliders that are good pitches. And

444
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: the command for Griffin Canning is good. But the comand

445
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: for Griffin Canning has always been good. It's just it's

446
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: not not saying that these things aren't going to last,

447
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: but I am saying that the way he's pitching is

448
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: is kind of insane, Like the way that he's going

449
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: after these guys, like throwing in zone change up to

450
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: Sho Hao Tani with like like what was that two

451
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: two count? It's like wow, Like the balls on you dude,

452
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: to be able to throw that pitch and like, one

453
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: execute it. One go into it and be like I'm

454
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: going to do this, and the two execute it and

455
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: get the guy out in that situation.

456
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: By the way, another win for Griffin Canning against a

457
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: team over five hundred. He's only pitched against good teams

458
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: this year, and the guy is putting up a two

459
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: nine ERA We're not a record podcast, but six and

460
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: two on the mound this year for Griffin Canning, two

461
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: ninety ra sixty innings and when you look at the

462
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: games that he's pitched in for the Mets, they're nine

463
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 2: in three overall. They lost that Dodgers game in thirteen innings.

464
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: They lost the Houston game in which he pitched an

465
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: absolute Where am I missing the other loss here? I

466
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: only see two? Where are they getting ninety through?

467
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: Oh?

468
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: They lost against the White Sox. That was the weird one. Now,

469
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 2: of course in this game there was someone who really

470
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: did a lot of the heavy lifting on the offensive side.

471
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: It's a good time to bring in our arena club

472
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: player spotlight, Pete Alonzo. This guy is so unbelievably good.

473
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: I mean, you can see one of his cards here

474
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: from Arena club looking great. I mean every time that

475
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: this guy steps up like he has this season in particular.

476
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: I know this is maybe a bigger conversation than what

477
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: we normally have here, but I like, give him the money.

478
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: I just want to give him the money. I want

479
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: him here for a long time. He's doing so many

480
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: amazing things, and it really he had the little dip

481
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: and he came right back against the best team in

482
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: baseball in the biggest moments.

483
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Again, in terms of pure hitting, it's hard to find

484
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: many other guys in the league or better than this year.

485
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Of course, as the obvious first year, but then after

486
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: you get past Judge Shotani, I guess technically Freeman. But

487
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: the way the Freeman watched that four hundred and seventy

488
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: foot for hundred fifty foot home run by Peelanso on

489
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: the eighth inning of the game, They're like, Wow, this

490
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: guy might be actually be able to start the All

491
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: Star Game. But that it's hard to talk about which

492
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: players have been more important to their teams this year

493
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: than Pilonzo besides that small group we just mentioned.

494
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, the numbers repeater insane and even in this

495
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: series three home runs he had what is this nine

496
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: RBIs in four games. He was getting on base a ton.

497
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: In the month of June. He has four homer twelve RBIs.

498
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: He has twenty one total bases in twenty at bats.

499
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: He has a ten to fifty slugging in ops at

500
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: sixteen hundred. It's a tiny sample size, but you can't

501
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: deny that he's absolutely locked at the plate again after

502
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: what was the cold stretch for a while for him

503
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: where he was just a human Now It's also one

504
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: of the.

505
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: Best moments of this game, this series, this season so far,

506
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: was the freeze frame of Ryan. I think it's loutest

507
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: after that ball literally just touched the bats from pi Alonzo,

508
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: who just puts his hands on his knees and Pete's

509
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: staring at the again. The four hundred and fifty foot

510
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: blast that went all the way almost to the Pacific

511
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: Ocean out there, It's just you feel bad for rookie

512
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: in that situation, but he just he grew the ninety

513
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: three right down the PA and he did an amazing

514
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: thing with It's very hard to get someone to stand

515
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: up and like flex on their couch at at twelve

516
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: thirty the night in the West Coast, game, but I

517
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: still up. I think I let a growl in my

518
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: living room after P connected with that ball. And that's

519
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: that's the way Pet's have his feeling this season. I

520
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 1: think that's it's there's really not an occultes we can

521
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: throw on him, and you.

522
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: Know he's locked into when he's hitting home runs to

523
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: right field. We're a poll podcast. We like to see

524
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: the ball be pulled a lot more because it's a

525
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: lot easier. He get a lot more power. But when

526
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: Pet's putting balls to right field four hundred and twenty feet,

527
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, he's seeing everything unbelievably Well, this guy

528
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: is on an absolute warpath right now. I mean, yeah,

529
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: you've been seeing the Pete Alonzo card here on Arena Club.

530
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: You can grab one of those in a slab pack.

531
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna open up a slab pack for ourselves right now.

532
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what we get here from

533
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: Arena Club. Open up the slab pack and okay, little

534
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, Little Aaron Judge, actually not not a Yankees podcast.

535
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 2: He's a pretty good ball player, just a nice poll.

536
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: It's a good slab not for us. We're Pete Alonzo

537
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,400

542
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: Back to one and solo for a second, because I

543
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: do think that this was a series where we saw

544
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: some kind of better but definitely different emotions movements out

545
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: of one. So though this game we kind of felt

546
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: like you alluded to it before, had like, oh, the

547
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: Dodge are so stupid for walking one, so they got

548
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: to planzo. I do still think, obviously, in the context

549
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: of all Major League Baseball, people fear one so tho

550
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: as to hit there that everyone knows he still is,

551
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: and I think that game on Wednesday night was really

552
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: indicative of that, because the Dodgers Tony Gonson specifically was

553
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: seemingly unwilling to throw him any pitches in the strike

554
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: zone whatsoever the entire game. In this game one, so

555
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: they got four fastballs in the strike zone throughout one

556
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: of those he laced for a groundball up the middle

557
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: that Dodger made a good play on I think goes

558
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond. Of course they're at second base, but drove

559
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: in the first run of the game, the only RBI

560
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: of this game that didn't come off the bat of

561
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: peele Alonzo. And then all of the other three fastballs

562
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: that won so they got in this game, he swung

563
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: at all of them every single time that want. So

564
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: though got the fastball in the strike zone, he took

565
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: a hack at that. He got a couple of the

566
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: breaking balls in the strike zone, two curve balls, once splither,

567
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: all three of those, he watched those go by, one

568
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: change up that he fouled off, and then otherwise every

569
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: single pitch is out of his strike zone. And he

570
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: threw three walks to keep many innings moving. And in

571
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: between those walks, we saw some shuffling. We saw basically

572
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: half a moonwalk after a walk that he went from

573
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: two back to a walk on the other side. We

574
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: definitely saw like a return of swagger to one And so.

575
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: Though I felt like we hadn't seen much this season, yeah,

576
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: I mean the Dodgers saw what he did in the

577
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: first two games where he hit the home run, the

578
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: two run home run, he had, the double he's been

579
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: swinging the bat a lot better average. People are still

580
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 2: gonna be pissed because the average in the month of

581
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: june's two hundred. But if you look at his ops

582
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: it's well over one thousand, and the five to six.

583
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 2: I know, but people are still gonna be like, oh,

584
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: he's only hitting two hundred in the month of June.

585
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: When is he gonna get the average up.

586
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: It's like, guys, he is a power hitter.

587
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: He is an extra big state guy when he's getting

588
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: on base as much as he is. He walked five

589
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: times in the last two games, which is in an

590
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: absurd amount. He's walked seven times in the month of

591
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: June and five games. Those are the ways that Wan

592
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: Soto makes his impact, getting on base, hitting for power.

593
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: If you're looking for the guy who's gonna hit three hundred,

594
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen this year. It might happen

595
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: at some point in his career, but that's not where

596
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: his true true ultimate value is. If he can do

597
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: that even better, but he is playing significantly better baseball,

598
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: and I think these competitive games against the Dodgers.

599
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: A little juice gave him a little bit out of

600
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: that as well. I think it's also just traveling. I

601
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: think when these guys have these long flights together, you know,

602
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: no off days, you're kind of you're buzzing a little bit,

603
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: like you know from just regular walks of like when

604
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: you have thing after thing to do day after day

605
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: with like certain people in your lives, like even us

606
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: we had a first softball back to back days this week.

607
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 1: You feel a lot closer to the guys hanging out

608
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: with them two days in a row. When the Mets

609
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: have to play a game on Sunday, fly to the

610
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: West Coast, played Dodgers on Monday, play four games row,

611
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: and you never flying the next day, no breaks in between,

612
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: Like there's a little bit moremaraderie about like the shit.

613
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: Everyone's kind of down in together, Like shit isn't just

614
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: the logistics of it all. So I do think that

615
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: all this together, and it kind of culminated with that

616
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: like funny little sequence where Luis Helecunia put the catcher's

617
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: gear on and then he actually made it play. I

618
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: love on a presical Lindora Chopper up the line that video.

619
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: I wish he was playing better because that video like

620
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: made meat. I thought that was like one of the

621
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 2: like funny goofiest, funniest little things ever that maybe people

622
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: don'tatch the Mets would find funny. But I think if

623
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: you watch the Mets every day, know how Luis and

624
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: helicoon he just even moves and just his mannerisms. That

625
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: shit was so fucking funny.

626
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure he's wearing a pipple patch the

627
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: whole time too, which goes through a minus. He's like

628
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: a twenty two or twenty three year old kid, just

629
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: like a lot of you guys listening right now, did.

630
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: You pick up Keith when he came into the game

631
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: for defense, he went back into the dugout put the

632
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 2: catcher's mascot beats.

633
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Heath's like he's in the game, He's not doing that.

634
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: I love it. There's a situation where wan So was

635
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: up there and he was like one past being in

636
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: the hole like this, and like Charlie Marte was being

637
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: like a phony bather, and then jose Series being the

638
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,239
Speaker 1: funny umpire like I like that, Ronny Marisos hanging out

639
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: there kind of giggling with the guys too. It was

640
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: a funny. That was a funny little cohort that it

641
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: did seem like it's nice and we kind of learned

642
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: it last season first hand. It's really nice to watch

643
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: your baseball team have fun live baseball teams don't have

644
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: fun a night at night out besis. We could do

645
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: this for six straight months. It's one hundred and sixty

646
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: two games, hopefully many more after that. Is it's a

647
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: grueling process, Like it's cool to see these guys let

648
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: loose a little bit and have a good time.

649
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: Like we can't even get mad when the Mets lose

650
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: games at times because like there's so many games. Imagine

651
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: actually playing in those games. What it feels like you

652
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: must lose your mind playing one hundred and sixty two

653
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: games and what one hundred and eighty one days or

654
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: something like that.

655
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: Six traight months, six traight months. You gotta think about

656
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: this stuff every single day. But overall, this was funny,

657
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: Like this is a game, which is it's nice to have,

658
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: like we say all the time, three superstars where if

659
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: one of them gets hot enough, they can carry you.

660
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: There's a game a few days ago where it's for

661
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: ciscolndor doing you last weekend against the Rockies Wan Soolo

662
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: had did in that game against dying back. He's going

663
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: to do plenty more of the season. And this was

664
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: a game where Pilonzo said, everybody, get on my back.

665
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: I am carrying you to the promised Land. We got

666
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: a great performance from Griffin Canning. Pilanz also said that

667
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: right after the game was like shout out Grafts. A

668
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: great game by him and we're gonna take you all

669
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: the way. Also, some great tight pitching Jose Castillo, a

670
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: couple of nice back for slides, especially on Key ca Hernandez,

671
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: who is known for his whole career basically on the

672
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: only reason he's still in the league as a lefty

673
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: masher the fact that Jose Castillo was able to bury

674
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: those slides on him, get out of a jam, get

675
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: through his two innings of work, as this bullpen is

676
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: just ravaged at the second. That was you don't win

677
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: this game, and you don't you don't split the series,

678
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: win the season series against the Dodgers with without giving

679
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: you those two innings. Yeah, is his stuff?

680
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: How does this stuff grade out? Because like watching that,

681
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: it's interesting.

682
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: He's put He's put some more juice on that slider

683
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: this year. He's got some more it's got some more

684
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: bite on it. But I do think that he's someone

685
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: that Keith was giving a lot of credit. He said

686
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: to the Mets, I remember if he said the scouts.

687
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: I think he said the pickers or he gave like

688
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: an old school baseball word to like to kind of

689
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: to kind of cover up with the phrases for talent evaluators.

690
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 1: But it's a good sinker slider. This this is kind

691
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,239
Speaker 1: of the archetype that we've seen David Searns and then

692
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: the Mets front office with David Searns seek out over

693
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: the last few years as people to add to the

694
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: glob of chaos and we just we need a lefty desperately,

695
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: and he's filled in the job good enough.

696
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was nice too, coming off of a

697
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 2: rough game too, where the Mets obviously blew the game.

698
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: Late Wasscar Brosbaud the ninth inning loves giving up home runs.

699
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: He's still he's still awesome, But in the ninth inning

700
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: he's like, how about a home run?

701
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Are you?

702
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: Can I interest you in a home run? That pitch

703
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: to Maximunky down the middle was insane. We talked about

704
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: it a little bit in the previous episode, but I

705
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 2: mean he just he threw an absolute meatball to Maximunsey,

706
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 2: who will not ever miss.

707
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: That pitch totally. But it did piss me off a

708
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: bit of the the I don't know the white people

709
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: were talking about this a day morning quarterback, the discourse

710
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: of it, because a lot of people have talked about

711
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: the fact that Wascar Brosubon. For some it's one of

712
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: the most change up heavy pitchers in baseball. It's one

713
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: of the highest rates of change up throw out any

714
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: pitch in the league. And he throws that pitch over

715
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: and over and over again, no matter if it's in

716
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: the zone or not. And he's just willing to throw.

717
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: He's like, if I keep throwing it, you will swing

718
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: at it. And a guy like Max Munsey, while he's

719
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: a high ball hither it's a lot. I mean, Max

720
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: m has just been always been a good hitter. He

721
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: he's going to be susceptible to a pitch at the

722
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: eyes at the chin. So I thought in that instance,

723
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: when you get ahead of him and you you didn't

724
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: have I don't know if you actually get that pitch

725
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: and put it in the spot where you want to

726
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: pit it, if you're w Wasscar Brazebon, you get Max

727
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: money to swing three inches under it and you're walking

728
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: out of it like a genius. Instead, he simply didn't execute.

729
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't going I wasn't ready to blame the pitch

730
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: call because I thought situation like it was, it wasn't

731
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: the worst idea to try and surprise him.

732
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't love it. I'm a little bit more

733
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: on the side of not being a fan of that

734
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: pitch call. Go with your best pitch, get the outs.

735
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: I hate I hate trying to be sneaky, especially against

736
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: a good hitter. You can be sneaky against like I

737
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 2: don't know who sucks on the Dodgers. There's not really

738
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 2: you could be sneaking against Miguel Roja. Sure, you want

739
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: to want to fool him every once in a while

740
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: and make him look like an idiot. But I don't

741
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: love I don't love Brazobon trying to be sneaky, especially

742
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: when like his fastball sinks, so even if you're throwing

743
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 2: that up in the zone like it's it's kind of

744
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: tough to get that where.

745
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: You want to be. Anyway, I'm nearly positive that as

746
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: a four seamer. I'm double checking it right now. On

747
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: baseball Savann, but I also seem to have that real

748
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: juice like that. It doesn't the stars in ninety eight

749
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: miles an hour, and that was one of the two

750
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: four seamers he through that inning. So again I think

751
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: that was like, that's like, really, anyway you're trying to

752
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: sneak You're not trying to seek ninety four past him

753
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: like Griffin Cannon sneaks ninety three pass guys like you.

754
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: You have an opportunity to to do some crazy. It

755
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: does have some natural sink on. It doesn't have that

756
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: good upward rising action where it's going to play in

757
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: the strikes home. But that's my point that pitch has

758
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: to be at the chin, that's the problem.

759
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: Of course, Yeah it was up. He couldn't missed down.

760
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: This is this is classic Mark and Jay's my minuitial

761
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: bullsheit argument. But this was the next I think there's

762
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: more of an execution issue for Brazabond than like, I

763
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: can't believe he threw a fast ball. I can't through

764
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: it was in the zone. Was the problem. Then nowhere

765
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: gonad the strike zone a one two pitch. But that's

766
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: I know this more Monday morning quarterbacking. Again, this was

767
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: another game at the end of the day, I wish

768
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: the mess with the family to tack on more runs

769
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: because for sure, between this one and Monday's game, which

770
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna kind of wrap all these up together here,

771
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: you just you go through these late innings and you

772
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: know the bullpen is tax this game. You know you

773
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: don't have Edward Diez available. Ried Garrett went full magician

774
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: mode again in the eighth inning, and you're just like,

775
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: if we could find a way for one more run,

776
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: and we had so many opportunities. We had still guys

777
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: on the fifth I believe it was the sixth, and

778
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: I think it was the eighth again where you have

779
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: guys scoring position. Again when Clayt Kershaw was in the game,

780
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: we hit like twenty five balls. We smoked them like

781
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: it's I it's funny to watch this version of Clayton

782
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: Kershaw after watching him my entire life and like every

783
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: single time you pitch, being like, wow, this guy's the best.

784
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: He was one of the reasons I love baseball, and

785
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: I was a teenager. But now it's just like he's

786
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: throw up there throwing meatballs. But you have so many

787
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: opportunities to attack on runs and we learned it last

788
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: year and we're seeing it again right now with the

789
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: eighth inning and that and that fifth inning where the

790
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: Mets could have put on more and it's just like

791
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: someone has to make sure this lead doesn't stay at

792
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: one run. Because this lead stays at one run against

793
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: this amazing team, it's not gonna last. And way worse

794
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: than all of this is when you get to the

795
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: tenth inning, there's a guy at second base and you

796
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: have one so though Pelonzo brand Nimo coming up, the

797
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: guy stay at the second base, no movement, strikeout, strike out,

798
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: ground ball, And again the ground ball Nimo out of

799
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: the middle was not the worst playing in the world either,

800
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: but it's just like you gotta get a run in

801
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: at that situation. You handed them the game.

802
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bottom of the lineup definitely hurt us a

803
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: bit in this one too. It was the middle of

804
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: the lineup in tenth inning, in that inning.

805
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, in that one.

806
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: I'm saying, when we add it feels like a lot

807
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: of the times recently when we need to add on

808
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: more runs, we are getting like Akunya Alvarez Mauricio up

809
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: at the play and it's like this, this is not

810
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: how I want it to be drawn up, but it's

811
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: just kind of the way baseball goes sometimes.

812
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 4: By now you know about Arena Club by sell trade,

813
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: open up slab packs to get a card that you

814
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 4: don't think you could get usually, but the grails will

815
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 4: tell you that. For example, there's an Aaron Judge rookie

816
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 4: card in this week's slab packs, so make sure you

817
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 4: check those out.

818
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 5: No doubts, those are what you want. The grails they're in.

819
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 5: Judge Grail is awesome, graded traded if you want, tell

820
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 5: you how much it's worth, whatever you want to do.

821
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: And I'm a big Michael Jordan Fani with my twenty

822
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: three shirt on. There's a Michael Jordan Grail in there

823
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 5: that I'm looking forward to.

824
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: Try to get twenty percent off your first slab pack

825
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 4: or card purchase at Arena club dot com. Slash foul,

826
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: use code foul.

827
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: Also McNeil was in a nine hole in this game,

828
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: and then he hit that double with one out and

829
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: ninth and again also aluse Urania and Door hits the

830
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: flat ball center field, and then we bring up Baby

831
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: to pitch the hit against Urania, and then they bring

832
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: in Anthony Bonda and then we bring in Louis Rrenz

833
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: and Sorenz puts a ride into one, but he gets

834
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: out too. And it's just like, this is kind of

835
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: that little little feeling the bottom by heart where I'm like,

836
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: maybe this is why want so they should always be

837
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: hitting second, because if you're willing to pinch hit for

838
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: the player hitting second, maybe they shouldn't be hitting second.

839
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: And now you have Louise Rrenz up again. Louise RN's

840
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: been amazing this year, this future All Star, Louise to Renz. Everyone,

841
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: to make sure you're five o's to day. You write

842
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: in right in Louise to Renz for catching the National League.

843
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: To have him come up in a situation after you

844
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: had to just play a game of chicken with Dave

845
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: Roberts and you burn two players in your betch. Not

846
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: that we need two players in our bench, but I

847
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: don't know philosophically in my heart, when you're pinch hitting

848
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: for the guy in the two holes, should it really

849
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: be in the two hole? No, that's it. That's it.

850
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: That's as simple as this, And once it was hit

851
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: better in the three hole. I understand that Planso had

852
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: been the best hitter on Earth in the four holes.

853
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a mental thing that we can ever

854
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: understand about these guys who were not in the clubhouse

855
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: with them. But when that when that situation like that

856
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: comes up late in the game, which the whole reason

857
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: that we always advocate for stacking your best hitters top

858
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: of the lineup. That was the exact moment. Why where

859
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: you have a combination of Jose Urania and Anthony Bonda

860
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: and you need one more run to put the game

861
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: away and you can't get it with a man on

862
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: second and one out.

863
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

864
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: It was a bit frustrating. The losses in this one

865
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: re frustrating. The winds were great, I mean Game one

866
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: also Brandon I just losing up on.

867
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: The lights in Tenanning. That was also pretty painful. We

868
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: didn't have to talk about that. We didn't have to

869
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: talk about it. I had to mention it. We kid the

870
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: people were gonna kills Finn to mention it. We had

871
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: to mention that.

872
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: I was really hoping we weren't going We played a

873
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: horrible left field.

874
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: This series also a little brief peak around the curtain

875
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: because this game we were getting a lot of text

876
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: and I know Mark, you were from our dad about

877
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: the way Tyler would go started with Max Monty and

878
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: Dodgers jumping a lower from the first inning. We had

879
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: a very unique perspective watching this game because Mark and

880
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: I actually missed the first inning of this game because

881
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: we were playing our softball championship, which I mean, I

882
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: only want to shut out the commissioner over the league.

883
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: I will yeah, I'm starting the smear campaign. Matt Copple,

884
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 2: You've been called out. You are a crook, you are

885
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: a criminal. I will not standford Am.

886
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Why.

887
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: First off, the dues for this league are out of control.

888
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: They're insane.

889
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: I played, I've played in other softball leagues in New

890
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: York City forty five fifty bucks a person for seven

891
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: eight games. This league has like six teams in it,

892
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: played like one hundred and seventy dollars a person to

893
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: play like seven games in the season to unbelievable. But

894
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: where Matt Copple must be stopped and must be taken down.

895
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: And I'm concocting a plan to try and a Brooklyn

896
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: softball league simply spight league.

897
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: It's a spight league, Spight league perfect.

898
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 2: Our games have always been eight to nine o'clock For

899
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: some reason this season, late in the season, they've been

900
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: moved to eight fifteen nine to fifteen games. The problem

901
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: with that is that the lights on the field, because

902
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: of an ordinance from the city, automatically turn off.

903
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: What was it ten o'clock at ten fifteen.

904
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 2: At ten to fifteen, the lights automatically turn off, and

905
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: what do you know? The umpire was fifteen minutes late

906
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: to the game, So the first game started eight to thirty,

907
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: which then pushed our game back into Because it's a

908
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: playoff game, you get to finish it out, so our

909
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: game didn't start to like nine to thirty five, almost

910
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: nine to forty. We're playing a great softball game. Eight

911
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 2: to eight, shout out the basic pitches. Great team out

912
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 2: in the Brooklyn League, out in Sternberg eight.

913
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Eight top five. Boom, the lights hit. Game over.

914
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: We don't know what's going on, and the commissioner is

915
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: sitting quietly counting his money, just laughing in our face,

916
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: not responding to emails. Shout out to Captain Sam, I

917
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: hope you get to the bottom of this. We will

918
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 2: take Matt Copple down.

919
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: It was a surreal moment with us slow pitch softball

920
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: pitch in mid air when all the lights in the

921
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: field shut out. We were all just looking around like

922
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: we cannot believe this happened. Like we had we had music,

923
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: the Wags were in attendance, We had a cooler full

924
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: of beer. Everyone was very excited for what was an

925
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: amazing softball game and also funny Cavey on the softball

926
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: game is a little messed up. A piece of knowledge.

927
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: Right here.

928
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: I was standing on second base with two houts, markets

929
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: the line drive up the middle nails me mediate part

930
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: of the thigh. I got a fat bruise on my legs.

931
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: Since that happened, thrilled them. I digress. This game. We

932
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: got a unique perspective because we missed that first inning,

933
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: so we saw the towards the end of this game.

934
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: The last five innings of Tyler McGill start looked like

935
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: one of the best pitchers on playoff, an unhitable slide

936
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: that he was putting anywhere he wanted fastballs. I had

937
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: life in the strike son that dodgershadeds couldn't catch up

938
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: with it's It was almost shocking to understand what happened

939
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: that first inning. Based on the version of Tyler McGill.

940
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: We saw after that.

941
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 2: It's like you find out we weren't at the party,

942
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 2: and he's like, I'm gonna come in sweatpants, and then

943
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 2: we showed up and went upstairs and put all his

944
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: makeup on.

945
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm ready to go. Who's who's here? He

946
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: threw thirty three slides in his game, the Dodgers didn't

947
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: connect with one of them, despite swinging thirteen times two

948
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: foul balls. So I'm not kind of those things going

949
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: into the field to play. But it's just every single

950
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: time we think we're out, he pulls us back in

951
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: and just going to be a decision made in the

952
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: next ten inch days when Frankie Monta is activated. I'm

953
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: sure Tyler McGill is gonna be the guy who loses

954
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: the spot because he's the one who's pitched the least

955
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: consistently of all these guys. Maybe we do a longer

956
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: stead of a six man rotation with some with a

957
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: series against the Braves, Phillies, Braves no off day, but

958
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: it's it's just so frustrating to watch the highs and

959
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: lows of this guy start at to start and have

960
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: to understand actually have to not understand why he can't

961
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: put it all together for six traight innings.

962
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not again, not as fault why we lost

963
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 2: this game, just got played better. Game one Paul Blackburn's

964
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: season debut. Again, we thought we were he was getting

965
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 2: thrown out.

966
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: Of the slaughter. And Paul Blackburn did great.

967
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean he did great for him, he did great

968
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 2: for the for the performance of the game too. Kept

969
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: us on the thing you talked about sustainability with Griffin Canning.

970
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how sustainable this one's gonna be. But no,

971
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: he worked, and Paul Blackman did go to the media

972
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: after the game saying like, I understand, like my role

973
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: is going to change. I'm expecting to pitch out of

974
00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: the ballpen.

975
00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: I do.

976
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: And he was also the fact that after Paul Blackburn

977
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: got through his five scroll less endings against the Dodgers

978
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: and his first appearance in nine months after a spinal

979
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: fluid leak and other various injuries, that he was lobbying

980
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: with Carlos Mendez like, no, leave me in the game.

981
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: I want this game. I want this game. Went was like,

982
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: hey man, you got to get seventy seven pitches. I

983
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: think we're okay. Here and it was it was a

984
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: very different Paul Blackburn. I would advise everybody and urge

985
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: everybody to go check out with shout him out in

986
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: the past. Isaac Rothman, Mets Pitching savant. Check out his

987
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: substack posts about what Paul Blackburn did, how he altered

988
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: the movement and the mix of his pitches in this game.

989
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: But it was colors and change ups and curveballs. No

990
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: forcing fastballs from Paul Blackburn. The Mets have identified that

991
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: that was a pitch that is not effective for him

992
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: and will not be effected for moving forward. Also, a

993
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 1: lineup for the Dodgers that had I think eight left

994
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: handed batters, maybe seven left handed BATTERI if I remember correctly,

995
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: and he went away from a slider, went away from

996
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: a sinker, and again it was just colors and cols

997
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: and colors and colors. Seven left handed bats. They set

998
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: Will Smith in this one. They were like Dalton rushing,

999
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Dawton rushing, And we got to give him couple games

1000
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: a week. He's up here with the team. But it

1001
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: was amazing to see him be able to use that

1002
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: color and the curveball, but on the little site, lesser

1003
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: skin when he was both ahead and theccounts and behind

1004
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: in the counts. Trust that pitch at different locations like

1005
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: it was. It was amazing to see him, but also

1006
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: the conferences throw a color like that high. Paul Blackburn

1007
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: is throwing this color ninety miles an hour when he

1008
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: really rears back and gets it to not fear this

1009
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: Dodger's lineup, but those colors the top of the strike zone.

1010
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: It was. I know there's been this worthless Pocket podcast.

1011
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: It was a big balls start from Paul Blackburn, and

1012
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: I do think that he's gotten another guy a lot

1013
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: of flak for Mets people and the interwebs. I think

1014
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: that there's no situation where just let let the guy

1015
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: go out there and pitch. I don't know what's gonna

1016
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: happen for Paul Blackburn. Maybe he winds up being like

1017
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: an Adrian Houser. Maybe might be cut within a month

1018
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: when we got a lot of guys back. But this

1019
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: was a valiant effort from him, and one that if

1020
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: this season comes down to a game or two by

1021
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: the end, I'll remember the Monday that Paul Blackburn shut

1022
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: out the Dodgers over five innings.

1023
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: And we beat a demon softball that day too that

1024
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: we absolutely despise.

1025
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Jee, I'm not going to give the Fleas

1026
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: and the months satisfaction of promoting them on this podcast

1027
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: because we really don't like playing those guys. But also,

1028
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: Francisco Indoor a great game have talked about now too.

1029
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: As we got laid in the series, Francisco Indoor has

1030
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: fractured his pinky toe. He missed the game on Thursday.

1031
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: He said that it's a pay management issue. He expects

1032
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: to be the day of to day. Do you think

1033
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: he plays in Colorado? Do you want him to play

1034
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: in Colorado? If it was me and I tweeted this

1035
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: out and some people are like, oh, look at look

1036
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: at the Monday morning quarterback here. I just think it's

1037
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: a great time to take two weeks off your Francisco Indoor.

1038
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: You have this by Aliston, but ten days you have

1039
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: a series against the Rockies, you have a series against Nationals,

1040
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: You've a series against the Rays. After that, you have

1041
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: ten straight games and ten straight days against the Phillies

1042
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: and the Braves. It's just if there was ever a

1043
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: time to take a ten day minimum stint on the

1044
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: injury list to let your broken toe heel and you

1045
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: also had this time because Mark Fianze's injury. You have

1046
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: two Caple middlandfielders on the roster and the least not

1047
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Hell Cluone and Ryan Resos. You can mix a match,

1048
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: you can play a little bit. I loved how committed

1049
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: Francisco Indors with the one sixty two. There are not

1050
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: enough guys in baseball or even sports at this point

1051
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: who are committed to playing him and Pete every Yette.

1052
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: Pete has a long, ex active streak and Met's history

1053
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: we learned last week at the ballpark, which is kind

1054
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: of incredible, but it's it's amazing. Also, why wouldn't we

1055
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: walk into Los Angeles people refract sure their digits? Why

1056
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: does this keep after free thing year after year? It's

1057
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: not it's not even an US thing.

1058
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge got that massive injury to Also, what thing

1059
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 2: has happened for people in LA which is like specifically Lindor.

1060
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: Remember you Jim his finger finger? Yes, I know that

1061
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: that busts up the whole hot treak the first half

1062
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: of that season. But again, like Lean Francisco and Dawes,

1063
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: Lindor does I believe him and I trust him? And

1064
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: the guy's warrior and he's like, it's a pay management thing.

1065
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: He's like, today it really hurts, I'm not going to

1066
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: play tomorrow. By not so I might play. And again

1067
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: I respect him all hardly for that. But if there

1068
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: was ever a time to just take ten days, this

1069
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: was it also a great way three days or three days.

1070
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: But again, if even if you have to go in

1071
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: the iel and get the guy up, I don't eve

1072
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: know who.

1073
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: We'd get up.

1074
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: I don't even know if there's a real actual option.

1075
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he's like, I can't go in the

1076
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: ie because we don't even have got to bring up

1077
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: right now. But it's a good situation. He also the

1078
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: home run got the pub in that game on Monday early.

1079
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: The double he hit to stretch the lead from one

1080
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: to two in the tenth inning off of Tanner Scott

1081
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: did wind up being the big play because, as most

1082
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: as often happens, the extra endings with the new rules,

1083
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: the Dodgers did storm back for a run against Jose

1084
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: Catillo and Jose Budo did come in and close the door.

1085
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: But that was that was a huge play and the

1086
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: reason we won that game was for Ciscal Indoor hitting

1087
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: that double. Yeah, no, Lindor absolutely beast hopefully gets healthy soon.

1088
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: Overall up and down series against the Dodgers A fun one,

1089
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: fun one, good baseball, really good baseball. And that's a

1090
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: series that we could have really had, which would have

1091
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: been nice.

1092
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: But it's early in the season. Keep working on it.

1093
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 2: Good baseball team. It's not like he did this against

1094
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 2: the White talks of the Rockies. I'd be pulling my

1095
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: hair out then.

1096
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the worst case scenario, we came into the

1097
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: series telling you guys that we had to split to

1098
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: win the season series. We split. We won the season series.

1099
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: If there's a situation where we get to the end

1100
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: of the season, and it's possible because we're one game

1101
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: part right now that we have a tie record with

1102
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, we're playing if it comes to the fact

1103
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: that we have to play them in the postseason again,

1104
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: we now have the home field advantage and that's a

1105
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: great things for the wise you were through. Unless for

1106
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: the wild crowd. Yes, but then the Dodgers have to

1107
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: have a worst record than the Phillies. Guess that's possible

1108
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: as well. But just it's a TV lot of thing.

1109
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that I think the Dodgers are going

1110
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: to steam roll to the rest of the record season. Again, obviously,

1111
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: I actually don't think we're going to be in a

1112
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: situation we're tied with them the end the regular season,

1113
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: But just in case, we now have that, which is

1114
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: cool and worst case snarire, we have a little bit

1115
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: of that mentals back. These guys just gotten the field

1116
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: with this Dodgers team for seven games in two weeks

1117
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: and they won four of them. That to me, if

1118
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: you can beat the Dodgers four out of seven games,

1119
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: I like how that feels and sounds.

1120
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: That feels like it could be an NLCS series win

1121
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: right there, if it.

1122
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: Came to it, it would you have a little bit

1123
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: more confience in your back. I don't know if these

1124
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: players think like that in the regular season. I do

1125
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: think that. I think there's some mentals that come into

1126
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: walking to the ballpark that your season ended last year

1127
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: with the team that killed you, sab you in the heart.

1128
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: I do think it does feel better than worse to

1129
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: be able to beat them in the next situation you

1130
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: play them in. Yes, especially if Gooshinobuyam mootor doesn't pitch

1131
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: in that seven game series, Yes, that would be a

1132
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: huge instead of pitching twice, that'd a huge benefit for us.

1133
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: But are we gonna do a quick media marvel.

1134
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 2: Now, I'm gonna say we limit it to one hundred

1135
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: and twenty seconds.

1136
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: That's fair. One hundred and twenty seconds. That's easy. But

1137
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: so it happened again. Guys. We put out a very

1138
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: innocuous tweet on on the the end of Wednesday's game

1139
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: because the bat the bottle flip was hilarious. We said, wow,

1140
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: look at one so though having fun. But the little

1141
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: laughing emoji because Mark was like, hey, you should really,

00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: you should really to bait him right here. He should

1143
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: really test was was I'm like, I'm not doing that.

1144
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: Fuck that shit. That's corny. I hate the way a

1145
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: lot of Mets fans are like, every single time one

00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: and this chance might not be being mean enough, and

1177
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: this might be a little psych called actor for some

1178
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: of you guys. I know our homies in discord, but like,

Speaker 1: was like, you know what, hold off for now, and

1181
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: I also want to shout with one of the specific

1182
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: things that Michael Kay said in this where he was like,

1183
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: you guys don't believe what I'm saying. It's like I

1184
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: talked to Scott Boris last weekend. He didn't even mention

1185
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: all the accusations I made about Wan Soto. Michael, as

1186
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: you've said in the past, lions don't concern himself with

1187
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 1: the with fleas. Scott Boris, the lion would never concern

1188
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: himself with a flea like you, Michael Kay. He's so

1189
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: far above you it's not even funny. I mean, same

1190
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: thing with Wan Soto.

1191
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 2: He mentioned how he's like Wan Soto's had weeks to

1192
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,919
Speaker 2: address this accusation. He hasn't said a word. Nobody's asked

1193
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: him because nobody cares. Again a lot, to use your words,

1194
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 2: A lion does not concern himself with flea. Wansta was like,

1195
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 2: why would I was he gonna raise his him to

1196
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 2: be like, excuse me, media, I have to bring to

1197
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 2: your attention a false rumor by a hack reporter named

1198
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: Michael Kay who works for the team that I used

1199
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 2: to play for, the New York Yankees.

1200
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: Uh, it's false. What the who have you ever seen

1201
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: a player do that?

1202
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: I think like Piazza was the only guy I ever

1203
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 2: remember having a press conference to address a rumor and

1204
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: otherwise nobody else.

1205
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: That was a significantly more and more serious rumor for

1206
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: someone who I'm pretty sure I think had a wife

1207
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: at the time. But yeah, I just again, if Michael

1208
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: Kay needs to needs to fill some time this summer

1209
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: for his podcast that has no video element, Like, we're

1210
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: happy to get a radio war with him anytime the

1211
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: Michael Kay wants. We're here to go, and there's not

1212
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna be any stopping.

1213
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: That was good two minutes. I think we might have

1214
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 2: gotten over, but that was like a good one hundred

1215
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: and fifty seconds. I think I'll run of the timer.

1216
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: That's perfect. But all right, now going back preview another

1217
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: series against the Rockies. Guys, we're here to go, Ray

1218
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: to end this road trip, Ray the comeback East and

1219
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: have have a couple a couple of weeks here after

1220
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: this series, we're going to be playing Kansas City is

1221
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: the Central time on right. We almost be in the

1222
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: Eastern times on for the rest of the first half,

1223
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: but Kansas City is the furthest west. We are traveling

1224
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: to rest of the first half after the series with

1225
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: the Rockies. And we just played the Rockies. Guys, you

1226
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: saw everything that happen with the rock They're heading They're

1227
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: heading to the series hot. They just hot the Marlins.

1228
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 3: But you know what's the.

1229
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 2: Best thing that could happen for the Rockies is to

1230
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 2: go from a beach to the mountain. Like that's the

1231
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: worst thing that's gonna be. The worst travel ever is

1232
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: to go from Miami to Colorado.

1233
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: The Rockies are going from sea level or slightly under

1234
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: to the highest part of the highest altitude you can

1235
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: get in Major League Baseball season. But as far as

1236
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: matchups as the series go, also some wacky star times

1237
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: you guys, get ready for this Friday night eight forty

1238
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: pm start time. Cod that Sango versus Antonio Senzatela Saturday

1239
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: nine to forty pm. That'll be a fun night, I think.

1240
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: From us Mark to find a play sell down and

1241
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: watch this game on a Saturday. Is Saturday nine to

1242
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: forty Clay Holmes versus Carson pomp Quist, and then Sunday

1243
00:46:54,200 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: three ten Tyler McGill versus Herman Marquez. That's it. I

1244
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: don't know what else to say.

1245
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say one thing. You mentioned him in the

1246
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: last episode when we played them. Good's been playing really

1247
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 2: good baseball. He is probably going to be the Rockies

1248
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 2: representative on the All Star team.

1249
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: And he would deserve to be so if it's him.

1250
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to check if Ezekiel Tovar played in the

1251
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: Rockies last game on Wednesday, because he left their game

1252
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: on Monday with some side irritation that they did fearing

1253
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: and oblique and they actually wind up missing all three

1254
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: of their games against the Marlins. So that could be

1255
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: bad news that that could be bad news for us,

1256
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 1: because I means more Lando Arcia, so I don't really

1257
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: want to see him more. Tyler Freeman of course, as

1258
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: well as guys ops up the seven thirty just just

1259
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: a ruther than your own face, Mark, But we just

1260
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 1: saw this team. I mean, you guys saw the fact

1261
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: that the good relievers Victor Vodnik and South Harveson throw

1262
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour, but they're also susceptible. We

1263
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: just saw a pomp Quist, we saw Sanza Tella. We've

1264
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: seen her Ma Marquez in the past. Luckily this is

1265
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: not the twenty twenty one her Mam Marquez that was

1266
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: throwing gems against us. I just think that you got it,

1267
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: you want it. Let's there's all. There's some important baseball

1268
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: coming up for the Mets. After the next week. We

1269
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: have a great homestand coming up where I'm urging everyone

1270
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: to be at the field and Mark and are gonna

1271
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: be there for a couple of games. We got Pride

1272
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 1: Knight Friday, Juet's Heart Teeth. That's gonna be a funny

1273
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: one Friday, the thirteenth, Pride Night. Yeah, that's the game

1274
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: has ready to go. But after this, Rocky, I'll look ahead.

1275
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, guys, but it's just Rockey Series.

1276
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying it's happening. I think that

1277
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: the way we're looking ahead, the way the schedule works,

1278
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: you have to be aware of when these games are happening.

1279
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: After the next nine games, Rockies, Nationals, Rais Braves, Phillies, Braves,

1280
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: not looking ahead though not looking at it, just in

1281
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: just telling people when that's happening, aware of what could

1282
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: be ahead. That's what we're doing, aware of what is ahead,

1283
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 1: but not looking there because I'm very focused on the Rockies,

1284
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: because I want to pummel the team. I want to

1285
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,959
Speaker 1: score thirty runs this series. We're getting to chorus Field.

1286
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully franciscool Door can take a load off, can just

1287
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: say off his feet for a couple of days here.

1288
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: Maybe Lewis Lacuni gets going. Maybe we see Ryan Rizio

1289
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: actually maxing it shortstop, which I'm I don't think is

1290
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: going to happen, but I'd be interested to see if

1291
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 1: it were to happen. I just let's play some good baseball.

1292
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: Let's split series against the Dodgers. You really handed them

1293
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: to games in the seven games against Dodgers, you kind

1294
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: of hand to them all three. Let's just play a

1295
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: worse team than just a team you just saw and

1296
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: you just wept at home. Let's just crush them.

1297
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 2: Let's go Mets, exactly simple. We got Frankie Peppers to

1298
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: wrap up this episode for us.

1299
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: We do have Frankie Peppers. Frankie Peppers. After a tough

1300
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: thought slightly disappointing split series against the Dodgers.

1301
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 6: Gentlemen, this is Frankie Peppers. Hey you doing boy? Oh boy,

1302
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 6: that's not the way I want a series like this

1303
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 6: that end. If you say at the beginning you come

1304
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 6: out with a split, then you know it's just not

1305
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 6: too bad.

1306
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: It's not too bad.

1307
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 6: So you're split against the Dodgers. Yeah, sure, if you

1308
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 6: say Michael Conforto drives in the winning run after some

1309
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 6: errors and Francisco off for his blocks, Red Garrett from

1310
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 6: getting to the plate and wild pitches and Leaven talk

1311
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 6: on Bassi's a little something different, But you know, what

1312
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 6: can you do? I guess I ain't getting on the field.

1313
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 6: My body would shatter in an instant if I tried

1314
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 6: to get the waiting of that. But onto the Rockies,

1315
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 6: what can I be? Fine's do what we did already

1316
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 6: and take care of business. So boys, hope you're doing well.

1317
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 6: That's both of you, Mark and James mind you hope

1318
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 6: you enjoy your weekend. That's getting hong up here in

1319
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 6: the Northeast. Just like on Men's just stay in the

1320
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 6: hot all right, boys, take care.

1321
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: Frankie always always grunding us when we get a little excited.

1322
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: One final word quick. We're not gonna talk about this

1323
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 2: too long, big series. You mentioned it earlier. Acuna, Mauricio

1324
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,439
Speaker 2: Alvarez like to see them doing something at the plate

1325
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 2: and baby too.

1326
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just that's this is the this is the

1327
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: moment to do that. And then also the homestand because

1328
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: we know about how well this Mets team plays and

1329
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: they get back in front of the home crowd is

1330
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: a this is just we have. We're in the home

1331
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: stretch of the first half right now, with a very

1332
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: very very important six weeks of baseball ahead until we

1333
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: get there, five weeks of baseball heead until we get there,

1334
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: and so it's always about kind of how you start

1335
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: and how you finish, to comnavigate kind of slow, go

1336
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: hot just after that to play six weeks your best

1337
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: baseball season right now you go into the All Star break.

1338
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: Feelings sensational, Yeah, feeling really good, and we'll talk about

1351
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 2: you on the next episode. Peace out, pud let's call Mets.

1352
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 7: Met fans cannot enjoy any kind of success. Plus, they

1353
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 7: always have to have a grievance. They always have to

1354
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 7: have something to complain about, and they're so thirsty when

1355
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 7: it comes to being right and proving somebody who said

1356
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 7: something about their team wrong.

1357
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 3: So then they.

1358
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 7: Misappropriate what people do say to fit their silly, little

1359
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 7: childish narrative. Now that's not everybody, but it's certainly a

1360
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 7: vocal minority that's on social media. So when the Mets

1361
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 7: played the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, I reported that people

1362
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 7: on the Mets, not Michael Kay, people on the Mets

1363
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 7: were remarking about how glum and unhappy Juan Soto looked.

1364
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 7: I also reported that Juan Soto, at the beginning of

1365
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 7: the whole free agent process, wanted to sign with the Yankees,

1366
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 7: and the thing that pushed him over to the Mets

1367
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 7: was his mom loved the Mets and told him this

1368
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 7: is where you should sign. So Met fans just don't

1369
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 7: want to believe that because they think that I'm defending

1370
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 7: the Yankees, which I'm not. I'm just telling you what

1371
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 7: the fact is, and my answer to all of them

1372
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 7: would be if I was so wrong about what I said.

1373
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 7: Juan Soto has spoken to the media at least a

1374
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 7: hundred times since then, and not once as he said,

1375
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 7: that's not true, Not once.

1376
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 3: That's not true. I never said that my mother had

1377
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 3: nothing to do with it. Not once.

1378
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 7: I was in Anaheim to do the Yankee series. I

1379
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 7: ran into Scott Boris twice. I have a good relationship

1380
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 7: with Scott Boris. Now once did Scott Boris say, Hey,

1381
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 7: that thing that you said, that's not true?

1382
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 3: Not once?

1383
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 7: Didn't bring it up. So yesterday s and Why, which

1384
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 7: had the Mets Dodger game. They showed the Met dugout

1385
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 7: during the game, where Juan Soto played the bottleflip game,

1386
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 7: which my kids do and a lot of players do that.

1387
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 7: And he did it once and it landed perfectly because

1388
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 7: he's won Soto. He's great at what he does. He's

1389
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 7: a great athlete, and he was laughing and joking and

1390
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 7: he skipped down the dugout and the little gnats that

1391
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 7: for some reason, I live rent free in their mind,

1392
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 7: Oh Michael, he doesn't look happy at all. Oh you

1393
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 7: were so right that they're taking one clip of a

1394
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 7: guy playing the bottleflip game and they're saying that, Oh.

1395
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 3: Look, you were wrong. Listen.

1396
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 7: When the Yankees hosted the Mets, he was not a

1397
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 7: happy dude. At no time did I say that he

1398
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 7: was going to be unhappy for the rest of his life.

1399
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 7: And I actually said.

1400
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 3: Over and over and over and over and over and

1401
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 3: over again.

1402
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 7: That he would learn to deal with it and eventually

1403
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 7: be happy, just like Francisco Lindor does. So what people

1404
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 7: do is they cherry pick what they want and they

1405
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 7: don't listen to the whole conversation. But that's the world

1406
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 7: we live in right now because people aggregate things that

1407
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 7: you say. At no point did I say that Wan

1408
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 7: Soda is gonna be miserable for the rest of his life.

1409
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 7: And if you think I said that, provide the clip.

1410
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 7: Provide the clip. You take one clip from S and

1411
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 7: Y of the guy having a good time, and why

1412
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 7: should he have a good time. He's a healthy, twenty

1413
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 7: six year old, he's fabulously wealthy, and he's great at

1414
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 7: what he does. Why shouldn't he be happy? It was

1415
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 7: all a matter of getting acclimated to a new situation.

1416
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 7: When I reported what I reported, he was glum. That

1417
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 7: was the word I used, and you could see it.

1418
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 7: The camera showed it. Now over the last couple of days,

1419
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 7: maybe the last week or so, he's doing the Sodo shuffle.

1420
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 7: He's showing some animation and look, everybody, he's playing the

1421
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 7: bottle flip game and having a good time. And the

1422
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 7: prevailing narrative, which to me is laughable. Oh, Caage just

1423
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 7: made that up, you know, because this radio show failed.

1424
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 7: That's why they took him off the radio show, and

1425
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 7: he needs to get clicks. Well, you simpletons, that's not

1426
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 7: the case at all. My radio show didn't fail. There

1427
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 7: was a rousing success. And if I wanted to stay

1428
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 7: in the afternoon, I could have chosen to stay in

1429
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 7: the Afternoon And as I said over and over and

1430
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 7: over again, to the point now that I'm getting annoyed

1431
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 7: at you people.

1432
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 3: If I wanted to stay, I would have.

1433
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 7: And I didn't stay because I wanted to have a

1434
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 7: little bit more of a life at the age of

1435
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 7: sixty four where I could spend time with my wife

1436
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 7: and kids more.

1437
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 3: And if my radio show failed, what kind.

1438
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 7: Of idiots would the people at ESPN and Good Karma

1439
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 7: be if they said, well, you know what, you failed

1440
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 7: in an afternoon drive, Let's give you another show that

1441
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 7: you could do by yourself. I wonder if the people

1442
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 7: that say stuff like this are embarrassed by their stupidity.

1443
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 7: Can they look in the mirror with their tongue hanging out,

1444
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 7: breathing up against the window at their visage and be

1445
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 7: proud of themselves? Or do they realize that they are

1446
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 7: lying punks that are just saying stuff in order to

1447
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 7: fit their narrative, that want Soto really, really, really, It's

1448
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 7: been happy all year, and K was wrong. K's not wrong.

1449
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 7: K's Afternoon Show didn't fail. How about that a failure

1450
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 7: of twenty two years? Oh, you didn't have ratings. We

1451
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 7: don't even have ratings at the station. We don't pay

1452
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 7: for them, So again, moronic, dumb, ill informed. But if

1453
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 7: that makes you happy, if you could, somehow I keep

1454
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 7: living rent free in your head, where your whole purpose

1455
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 7: in life is to prove that somehow I was wrong.

1456
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 7: Keep trying, baby, because my question and answer to you

1457
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 7: is how's it working out? You think that I need

1458
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 7: to make up something and ruin a thirty nine forty

1459
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 7: year career. Make up something for? What what would clicks

1460
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 7: do for me? You bunch of ill informed nitwits? Please

1461
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 7: get over me. I'm not worth your trouble. I'm the

1462
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 7: other team's announcer. Stop and if you don't like me,

1463
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 7: don't listen to the show. And don't, under any circumstances

1464
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 7: take anything that I say. Seriously, take it with the

1465
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 7: grandest all. It's somebody that you don't respect. So don't

1466
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 7: let me live rent free in your head, because you

1467
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 7: know why. It's an embarrassment to you and your tiny

1468
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 7: little brain. Oh look, you could have been fun. He's

1469
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 7: playing the bottle flip game. You know how silly you look?

1470
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 7: You know much of a simple thing. You look that

1471
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 7: that's your trump card, That's what you pulled out of

1472
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 7: the debt.

1473
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 3: You go there.

1474
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 7: I'm right, goodness gracious you people have to stop and

1475
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 7: you have to get a life. Why are you concentrating

1476
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 7: on me? Root for your team, have yourself a blast.

1477
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 7: You know what, they have the best record in the

1478
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 7: National League. You should be celebrating that, not trying to

00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 7: one up Michael Kay. You know how small and is significant.

1480
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 7: You make yourself out.

00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 2: To be.

1482
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 7: Losers, every single oneing and you know what I'm talking about.

00:58:55,080 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 7: to your ex follow because that's what you want. As

00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,560
