25
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: there's been a lot going on with the Mets, some good,

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: some bad, some exciting, and some maybe disappointing stuff. So

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot to cover here today. Really excited to

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: talk about. I think we just got to start off

29
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: with it. Francisco Inndoor's a New York met. Francisco Lindor, Yes,

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: Little Dance Francisco Lindor is a New York Met.

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: It was such great timing that we recorded the entire

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: podcast like being scared about Lindor's extension, like six hours

33
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: before he actually signed the extension.

34
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like the video. So I went out to

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: dinner that night with like Daniel Kim, who's like a

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: KBO guy, and he was talking about the Lindor extension

37
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: with me, and I dropped the podcast video and the

38
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: podcast right before I went out to dinner. It was

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: like seven o'clock. And then by the time I came

40
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: home and everything was like settled. Lindor just signed and

41
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: I was like, oh great, Like our podcast is gonna

42
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: get a nice little bump in views and then it's

43
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna die because everything we talked about became irrelevant within

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: minutes of it coming out. So I mean, good problem

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: to have. I'm okay with the podcast getting no views

46
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: on that one because it was not topical anymore.

47
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: But not a big deal, easy one to waste. I'm

48
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: I've been hanging out in southern California visiting a friend

49
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: and he's also a very big Mets fan, and that

50
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: news dropped. I think like it was like seven or

51
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: eight o'clock local time for me, because it was late

52
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: night in the East Coast and we had a couple

53
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: of drinks and we were hanging out with some people

54
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: and we just both looked at their phones, like looked

55
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: at each other at the exact same time and.

56
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Went aha, like we did.

57
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: He slapped my hand so hard it literally hurt all that.

58
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: I did get a good slap of the hand red,

59
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: but I had to go. I went outside because Alex

60
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: was sleeping. I went outside and I just started yelling

61
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: on the balcony. I was screamed. I did my little

62
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: video out there. It was raining, so I was getting

63
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: drenched as well, and I'm like, I'm gonna scream, ah,

64
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: let's go. We did.

65
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: It was such a it was such a scream moment,

66
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't even funny.

67
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: Like when we got Lindor, we both had great reactions

68
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, we did it, but like

69
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: now that we signed him, it was like a yell

70
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: of like finally, like we this is Steve Cohen. Whatever

71
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: he's promised us, like he's he really means it.

72
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: He really means it, definitely, and like not to toot

73
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: my own horn, but during that podcast, I said that

74
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: all he wanted was more money in Fernando Tattis and

75
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: he literally all he wanted was more money than Fernando Tatis.

76
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: Was it one million more?

77
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: Literally one million more And the AAV was way buff

78
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: Tatisis because they bought that arbitration. But he literally was

79
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: like this twenty one to twenty two year olds, he's

80
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: played one full season in the league. There's no way

81
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: he's getting paid more money than me. And it was

82
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: not gonna happen. And it didn't happen, And I'm happy that.

83
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm happy that they could find the middle middle grand

84
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: that was like just petty enough that both guys were

85
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: like aware of it. Okay, with it to agree to

86
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: the deal.

87
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad to see that, Like I'm sorry to

88
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: believe maybe that even a lot of like the rumors

89
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: and stuff that were going on just people didn't really

90
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: know and didn't really have like a good take on it.

91
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Because I think even like Jeff Passing, like minutes before

92
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: the Lindor thinks happened, put out a tweet about how

93
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: like there's been no talks, it's not happening opening days tomorrow,

94
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and I was like, oh damn, Like

95
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: I was kind of so I was like, man, it

96
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: didn't happen. That's stinks, Like, okay, that's probably the final straw.

97
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: And then I think the sauce boss himself, Hayman, broke

98
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: the news, right.

99
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah he did. But like I've been listening to like

100
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: a lot more podcasts last few days, like Catching Up

101
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: and stuff, and Ino Sarus made a great point on

102
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: his Rates and Barrels podcast that the two contracts that

103
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: were offered during like the stalemate period were really not

104
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: that far apart in average annual value. And he he's

105
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: like he's like he's a Mets fan. He said that

106
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: this was this was the day before he signed he

107
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: said that he was really not concerned at all once

108
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: he saw those two numbers, and like, in retrospect, I

109
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: think he was kind of right, Like they were really

110
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: never as far apart as I think many people in

111
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: the media led it to believe.

112
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think like you can get really caught up

113
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: and seeing like Lindor wanted three eighty and the metal

114
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: for three twenty five and think that they're like sixty million,

115
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: and that's like a big amount if you take like

116
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: percentage of the total salary. But like you said, with

117
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: the AAV and I think we even mentioned it last week,

118
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: like they're basically both agreed how much he was worth.

119
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: It was just a matter of the length, And it

120
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: seems like Lindor came down on the length they give

121
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: him a little more AAV and that's where they met.

122
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, And there were all some other like more

123
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 2: like fine tune parts of the contract that definitely caused

124
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: for negotiations to like take as long as they did

125
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: it all like he has a fifteen team no trade

126
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: clause for the first four years of the deal, which

127
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: I thought is kind of interesting. I wish I knew

128
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: we could find out who those fifteen teams are like

129
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: it's like he's like just like explicitly down the middle.

130
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: And that's so interesting that it's the first four and

131
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, it would probably be the

132
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: teams that are just not competitive or don't.

133
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: It seems the Iron Fund or warm. And he's a

134
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: full no trade clause for the back end of the

135
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: deal until twenty thirty one, which I thought was also

136
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: pretty interesting. It seems like he's like giving himself a

137
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: window where like, yeah, if this doesn't work out, maybe

138
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: we can work out of trade. But like, once I'm

139
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: here for five years, like I'm gonna start my life here.

140
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: This is gonna be my home, this is gonna be

141
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: my people, this is gonna be my place, and I

142
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: don't want to leave once I become like stable and secure.

143
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it kind of gives them like not that it's

144
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen anyway, but like it gives them a safety

145
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: net just in case something changes and with the New

146
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: York Mets and you know all that. But I don't

147
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have to worry about that anytime soon.

148
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, It's just this just like random minutia that

149
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: went into it, just looking through the contract.

150
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's like even with like the was

151
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: it Bryce Harper's contract something there was just like so

152
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: every player essentially puts in something like they want that

153
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: they think is gonna be like this big chip and

154
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: the ownership can give it cause like they're like it

155
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: still really doesn't mean anything, like it's it's not important

156
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: at all, but sure, if you want it, you get it.

157
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: That was also cool that this is the third highest

158
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: aav for position player in baseball and the highest for

159
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 2: a player not on the Los Angeles Angels.

160
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, And it's like also good that we've been

161
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: seeing players just getting like bigger and bigger contracts again,

162
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: when like there was that whole kind of like really

163
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: slow window of players not getting paid the money that

164
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: they deserve. I mean even the Harper Machado offseason where

165
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: it took until what February and March for those guys

166
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: to sign. So it's good to see that like these

167
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: players that are the top players in the game are

168
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: finally starting to just like get the money that they

169
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: deserve because it's really just like that's what you watch

170
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: the game for. You watch for the players. They're the

171
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: ones bringing in all the revenue they deserve to get paid.

172
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: That was like a huge thing I talked about last year,

173
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: especially with the what's the word I'm talking about with

174
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: the salaries that Proraade salaries, Like it was just like,

175
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: pay the guys what you owe them. They're worth that money.

176
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazingly happy, like incredibly incredibly happy. It's also it's

177
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: also funny that the lot of Thist money in this

178
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: contract deferred, Like they deferred fifty million dollars worth to

179
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: be paid from twenty thirty to twenty forty one, and

180
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: just like looking at those years typing them out on

181
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: our outline was like wild, think about the year, but

182
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: the year twenty forty.

183
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: One, forty five yep, yes, that's oh god, that's like

184
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: nightmare fuel. I don't need to ever think about being

185
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: forty five right now.

186
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: And Francisco and you know, there's gonna be tweets that

187
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I hope that Twitter will

188
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: probably still be around them, but they'll be tweets with

189
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: like tens of thousands of favorites, like up another five million, Francisco,

190
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: Lindor and like twenty thirty nine. However, this career goes

191
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: like maybe it'll be like, Wow.

192
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna go on pretty good trajectory. I'm

193
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: just so happy that, like it seems like pretty much

194
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: to the end of his career, he's gonna be in

195
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: New York met he's gonna be in the Orange and Blue,

196
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: gonna be playing shortstop every single day. Something. We just like,

197
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: we haven't had a really good shortstop since the rey

198
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: Is and even then, like Lindor is a far better

199
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: player than ray Is I think ever was. So it's

200
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: this is like this is he has the potential, I think,

201
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: to become like an all time franchise great kind of player.

202
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: No, definitely, if this all goes according to plan, there's

203
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: a good chance you see Francisco Lindor's number in city

204
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: fields for the rest of our lives.

205
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, which would be really cool. I would that if

206
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: we see his number retire at the end of all

207
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: of this, something really good has happened during those ten years.

208
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm all. I'm all for that. And then with all

209
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: the excitement that was Francisco Lindor signing, you know, just

210
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: a few hours later that that high just absolutely crashed

211
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: with the Washington Nationals and the COVID stuff. I don't

212
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: know what your take is because we didn't want to

213
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: talk about it too much so that we could actually

214
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: talk about it today. But I know, like I got

215
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: a lot to say. I'm not happy about the situation.

216
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like big takeaway here is fuck the Nationals.

217
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: Of course, always hate those guys. Yeah, I've never even

218
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: hated the Nationals like I kind of hated Bryce Harper,

219
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: like when they won the World Series. I didn't feel

220
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: like like I got stabbed in my heart like I

221
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: would have felt like if the Braves and the Phillies

222
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: and the Yankees won a World Series. But this current

223
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: juncture right now, this moment, after these three days, fucked

224
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: the Washing Nationals. They killed a great baseball weekend.

225
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: You took away opening day after signing the biggest contract

226
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: for the history.

227
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 2: It's so ironic because the opening day was just like

228
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: massive deadline that we set for Lindor and it was

229
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: like there's like on Twitter Como's like fifty six hours

230
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: sloping day for the eight hours sloping date. There's six

231
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: hour sloping day and then just got taken away, like, well,

232
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: if they didn't get the deal done, we have three

233
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: more days.

234
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if let's just say, like we didn't get

235
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: the deal done by them, would they have used these

236
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: three days to continue negotiating or Lindor's like, Noah, I'm done.

237
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: It's Opening Day was supposed to happen. I'm not talking.

238
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: But basically, the Nationals are just some lousy, good for

239
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: nothing losers. Yeah, I just like they're the worst.

240
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm so on the fence with how I'm

241
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: feeling because like, definitely upset that the mess thin't get

242
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: to play. You're robbed us of Opening Day. Granted we

243
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: get to see de Groum and the Phillies this week,

244
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about later, but what is the point

245
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: of having like the COVID protocols and the taxi squad

246
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: and all these precautions for something like this that happens

247
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: so the schedule doesn't get screwed, Because right now the

248
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: Mets are just like they're getting screwed. There's no other

249
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: way around. And I think the Nationals play the Braves

250
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: next series. I think, and the Braves are gonna get

251
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: a huge bump because the Nationals are gonna be able

252
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: to use their taxi squad guys then against the Braves

253
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: when it should have really been against the Mets as well,

254
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: Like why does it feel.

255
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: Like that's it's ridiculous. The braids are gonna get to

256
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: face like god knows whoever fills in for the Nationals pitching,

257
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have to pitch Coreo's wall in like

258
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: six days. Yeah, which is the game that we're almost

259
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: definitely gonna lose.

260
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: And like two seven in games plays better to the

261
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: Nationals than it does the Mets.

262
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: It's probably true because they're bullpen it's that much worse.

263
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: But also like now they've come out like only four

264
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: players in the team actually have COVID, and it was

265
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: like Kyle Schwarbert, John Lester ala Vila, and Josh Harrison

266
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: I came out earlier this morning.

267
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: Which shockingly, that's the older group of guys. I would

268
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: have thought, if anything, it would have been some of

269
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: the younger guys, just because when you think of like

270
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: COVID protocols, like ah, I'm back, I'm gonna go go

271
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: grab a drink or something out of ball.

272
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Like two of those guys are barely even major League

273
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: baseball players at this point, if not three of the.

274
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: Four of them, Yeah, and Lester wouldn't have even pitched

275
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: against the Mets exactly.

276
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like Josh Harrison as COVID, they literally the

277
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: top prospects. Two of their top prospects, Luis Garcia and

278
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: Carter Kieboom easily could have filled in a second base

279
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: probably should be filling in the second base anyway, instead

280
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: of Josh Harrison. There's no reason that this series should

281
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: have been postponed for four like nominal players.

282
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, like I would have been okay with

283
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: the first game because they probably like want to do

284
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: the thing and make and make sure that like no

285
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: one is in contact and the tracing and all that stuff.

286
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: But the entire series being canceled just seems like it

287
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: made zero sense to me whatsoever. Like you said, it's

288
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: four guys. That's the only four guys now that we

289
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,119
Speaker 1: know of, and we push back every single game. I understand,

290
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: Like I understand, the schedule has the opportunity to do that,

291
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: and there's off days if we do play the Nationals

292
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: a bunch, so you have a chance to make up

293
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: those games. But if you're gonna have these rules, if

294
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: you're gonna have these protocols in place, I'm all for

295
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: keeping the players as safe as physically possible, but also

296
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: at the same time, like, what is the punishment then

297
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: for using these protocols, because it seems like, okay, well,

298
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: if they break the protocols and they have too many guys,

299
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: the taxi squad doesn't even matter. It seems like at

300
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: this point it's just a what's the word I'm looking for,

301
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: basically like a formality, Yeah, formality, like we have the

302
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: taxi squad just in case, but clearly it's not gonna

303
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: be used if it needs to be. From what it

304
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: seems like, it's just like the Mets are getting screwed

305
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: in this situation, I feel like definitely.

306
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: And of course there was still contact tracing going on,

307
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: so they didn't really know that it was just these

308
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 2: four players until late last night early this morning. Yeah,

309
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: but they still could have got a game in today,

310
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: like they doesn't they canceled the entire series before, like

311
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: they could have just gotten day by day with cancelations.

312
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 2: The Mets and Nationals could have been playing at four

313
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: pm today for like a weird one game opening day.

314
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: They even could have started the season with two double

315
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: headers and we could have watched the grad mis s Roman.

316
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: There were two seven incomplete games. Yeah, it would have

317
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: been fun. It would have been great, but like it

318
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: turned into like this weird like Twilight Zone like blue

319
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: Ball opening Day situation because I'm watching baseball and enjoying everything,

320
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 2: like stats are accumulating, like crazy fun things are happening,

321
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: and the Mets is not playing. Yeah.

322
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: No, we tweeted out. I think we teed it out

323
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: on the Mets Messed Up podcast twitterre at Mets up

324
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter, like multiple times, like, oh man, I wish

325
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: the Mets were playing right now, are like wouldn't it

326
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: be great to watch the Mets? Like who misses the Mets?

327
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: Like it was just like this is the worst tease

328
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: of all time, especially with the high of Lindor, like

329
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: getting to see him play his first game as a Met.

330
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: No one he's gonna be here for the next Does

331
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: the contract start this year or is it at the

332
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: end of this year.

333
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: I think it's at the end of this year because

334
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: they already agreed to an arbitration figure for this year.

335
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so we get to see him for eleven years.

336
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: Basically like this is the start of the Lindor era

337
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: and it's like nope, COVID.

338
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: Sorry sucks. It felt so bizarre, like sitting there on

339
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: Thursday and watching baseball and be like, I'm not gonna

340
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: see the Mets for days. And like, the one silver

341
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: lining I drew from it, which we also from the

342
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: Mess Up podcast Messed Up on Twitter, was that if

343
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: they only would have missed one or two games, it

344
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: could have lined up to Grom or even Stroman to

345
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: pitch the first game in City on Thursday, And now

346
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: neither of them are gonna be even close to available

347
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: to pitch. That game is gonna be either Peters enter

348
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: Teman Walker, depending on if they decided to split up

349
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: the lefties or not at the back end of the rotation,

350
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: which also sucks that it's a massive buzzkill.

351
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, granted we do get to play the Marlins,

352
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: and based on how they've looked, you know, these last

353
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: few games, that's an offense that not really worried about

354
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: right now.

355
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: So yeah would be the word.

356
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm okay with not using de Gram and Stroman

357
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: against those guys. I'd like them to get starts against

358
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: some of the better teams and more competent offensive teams.

359
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, like a homo opener at City

360
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: Field with the Gram and then the next day strum

361
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: and would have been electric.

362
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna be in the building, so color me selfish,

363
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 2: but I would have loved to have seen to Grom

364
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: live on Thursday afternoon.

365
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: You tell me you don't want to see Taywan Walker's

366
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: debut or maybe even Joey Lukazy if he gets the ball.

367
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm happy to see tiwon Walker's debut. I did

368
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: not want to see joe if he gets the ball,

369
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: not not live. At least I want to be able

370
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: to change the channel Joey Lucazy's pitching. I'll be able

371
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: to watch another game at the same time.

372
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just like you said, I think the

373
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Nationals is that they're lousy, good

374
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: for nothing losers.

375
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: Yes, Lozi good for nothing losers. That could be even

376
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: the name of this podcast. The Nationals are lousy, good

377
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: for nothing loser and.

378
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Follow COVID protocols. People just just listen.

379
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: Just what are you doing? How we did this for

380
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: an entire season? I guess the Nationals kind of took

381
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: last year off as a team anyway.

382
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: And it's the veterans too. It's the veterans. Was was

383
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: alexavillaan the Cubs at all.

384
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: Last year, Alexavilla, he's been like going between the Cubs

385
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: and the Tigers for like the Diamondbacks. Yeah, like our

386
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: entire lives. I don't know where he is when he's

387
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: always around and he always just like it has like

388
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: two hundre fifty at bats and like hits. Kind of well,

389
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: because like an interesting thing with the guys who did

390
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: test positive Schwoarber Cubs, Leicester Cubs.

391
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Harrison was with the Nationals last year. If a Vela

392
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: was with.

393
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: The Cubs last year, we got it right now.

394
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Is this a Chicago Cubs problem they can't follow rules?

395
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: No, he's with the Twins last year. Fifty it I'll

396
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: still call it the Chicago Cubs problem.

397
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course, definitely fifty percent of the guys.

398
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, it was just it was super.

399
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: It was a blue ball moment if there was ever one.

400
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: And luckily, you know today Sunday when we're recording this,

401
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: they would have been playing right now, probably would have

402
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: seen the Mets up like three or four nothing at

403
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: this point. But we get to see the Mets play

404
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: real baseball tomorrow. And at the.

405
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: Time I mean, I hope. I don't want to. I'm

406
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: not I'm not gonna win. I don't want to jinx

407
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: it like I'm pretty god the Mets played tomorrow.

408
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: By the time that this is dropping, it will probably

409
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: be tonight. So Sunday night, you guys will be you know,

410
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: within hours of Mets baseball hopefully. And we are at

411
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good scenario here against the Phillies because now

412
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: we do get to start with our best three guys

413
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: going up against the Phillies. D Grom against Matt Moore

414
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Game one. That's a match that I'd love to see.

415
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: That's a matchup I love to see, especially with our

416
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: like super right hand like you know, I don't want

417
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: to say dominant, but we do have good splits against

418
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: lefty pitchers for a right for especially for our right

419
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: handed batters. I'm feeling good about, you know, this series,

420
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: even though the Phillies have looked good thus far.

421
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, have look good. I actually do really want to

422
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: talk about how good the Phillies look because I know

423
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: you have your whole Philly stick. Whatever it happens.

424
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: I can admit when they are I admit when they're

425
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: good at things, but I also love to say that

426
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: their fourth place team because they are.

427
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I've I hinted that in our first two episodes,

428
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: But I really think the Phillies are actually like a

429
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: dark horse like playoff contender in the National League, especially

430
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: the last two days watching Wheeler and Nola Bolts just

431
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: shove that's like. And today so far, Efflyn has also

432
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: looked great. Ethlyn's a guy who I've been high on

433
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: for years and years and years and years. Efflin, for

434
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: anyone who didn't know, had the regenerative knee issue that

435
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: he was unaware of for the first like twenty five

436
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: years of his life. He was basically pitching with just

437
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: an arm. He was using no back and no leg

438
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: because he couldn't bend over. And there's crazy quotes where

439
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: he talks about this, and if you go back and

440
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: look at clips of him pitching his first year in

441
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: the league, he's like basically like upright, and the last

442
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: two years he's really getting into it, and he's gained

443
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: like four miles an hour in his fastball since he

444
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: learned to use his legs and fixed his degenerative knees.

445
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 2: So he's a guy who I'm watching. But the rotation

446
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: falls off after these first three as good as those

447
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: first three are, four and five basically not none exist.

448
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: Who even are there four and five? I don't have

449
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: a clue.

450
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: It's more. And they still try to make Vince Velasquez happen,

451
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: but I don't know if that's ever gonna work.

452
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: Just use him in the bullpen already. I don't know

453
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: why they haven't made him, just be like he come

454
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: out there, come out there, throw a hundred. Because he

455
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: does have a good arm, and he does have some

456
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: decent stuff.

457
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: But he literally very decent.

458
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: He falls every time the second time through the lineup.

459
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: He just can't.

460
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has. He's one of those guys who with

461
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: stuff without command, which work super well in the bullpen

462
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: after generations. A big guy who's stuff in no command,

463
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: who looks great for Philly so far as Jose Alvarado,

464
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 2: he he looks like he lost like fifteen to twenty

465
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: pounds at least he was. He was a round fellow.

466
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: He goes around, fella. Just put him on the ground,

467
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: roll him into the clubhouse. But he was throwing bbi's

468
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: the other day. He's one hundred miles an hour. I

469
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: don't know how often he really ever did that with

470
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: the Rays, but he was busting him in there.

471
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: You know. I know he's always had a good arm.

472
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: He's always like been battling injury issues as well. I

473
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: think we got to see him a little bit more

474
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: stretched out, probably before we start to really make a

475
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: huge decision on whether or not Alvarado's legit or not,

476
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: especially because I think he's had huge walk problems in

477
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: the past too.

478
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 2: Where huge walk problem, he crazy walk? Great, Yeah, like

479
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 2: it happens, but like I left, you could throw hundreds,

480
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: but that kind of sly there. Sure, but he's always dangd.

481
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: But you want to know was starting the fifth game

482
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: this season for the Phillies, Chase Anderson. The only thing

483
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: more boring than Chase Anderson's name is his stuff. Okay,

484
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: he thinks that.

485
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Is a personal attack, but it is very true. I

486
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: think I just like I was. I don't know what

487
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: I did. I had to like talk about, uh, the

488
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Blue Jays last year at one point for something, and

489
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: I had to talk about Chase Anderson on the mound.

490
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't care who he's playing, who

491
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: it is you bet against Chase Anderson, He's just not

492
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: He can't beat you. Like there's no way, he's just

493
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: like the little year that he had in Milwaukee a

494
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: couple years ago, where like he was okay. It's like

495
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: that's not Chase Anderson anymore. Like he loves to just

496
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: get hit really well.

497
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: Milwaukee just does that. Like I don't care who pitches

498
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: for Milwaukee, They're gonna find like five innings and give

499
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: up three runs and just keep them in the game.

500
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: Like Bret Anderson the second was boring. Anderson in the

501
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: league has been doing that for like three years running now.

502
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: So wait, we're getting Matt Moore and Chase Anderson the

503
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: first two games against the Phillies.

504
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, that maybe we should just throw Peterson

505
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 2: two know.

506
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: Right, Let Peterson be the opening day starter. Oh man?

507
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: Wow?

508
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I'm going back to what you said about

509
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: Nolan Wheeler, Like I think Nola is a guy that

510
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: if you watched last year because he had the saw

511
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: Young caliber year, then I think nineteen he was okay.

512
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: He was just like he had a big step back.

513
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: People started figureing him out a little bit more. Just

514
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: wasn't getting the production that he did before. And then

515
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty he looked really good.

516
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: Great, but if you look and you've listened to Nola's

517
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: talk about this. He blames the baseball in nineteen for

518
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: his problems, not because of the home run environment, but

519
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: because it was more difficult to grip. And Trevor Bawer

520
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: spoken about that too, because he struggled with a lot

521
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: in nineteen compared to the last three years. And Nola

522
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: is like, he's big change up, curveball guy, and he's

523
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 2: he doesn't have a lead velocity. He's all about command

524
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: and he has amazing commands. I'm the best in the league.

525
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: And when you when you're a command guy and you

526
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: lose a little bit of command like that, you will

527
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: fall off a cliff because your mistakes, you're not gonna

528
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: Velosity's not gonna save your mistakes like that, and when

529
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: you make them, they're gonna get jumped on, especially when

530
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: the ball is giving up more home runs. So I yeah,

531
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: Noel's perennial Cy Young contender. He's one of the better

532
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball. He's he's unheralded just because he's pretty

533
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: unspectacular and because the Phillies haven't been very good during

534
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: his prime. But he's fantastic. And Wheeler, Wow, Wheeler looked amazing.

535
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: Yesterday, I remember like people were giving the Phillies a

536
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: lot of crap, and I was one of the few

537
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: people who didn't about the Zaq Wheeler signing where they

538
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: paid twenty three instead of twenty and everyone's like, oh,

539
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: they overpaid him, Like hold on, first off, I was

540
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: a hold on. It's like fifteen million over five years

541
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 1: extra to get the guy that they wanted, who that

542
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: they think is gonna be good. We're like talking about

543
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: pennies at this point. And my whole thing was Zack

544
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Wheeler was that he reminded me a lot of Garrett

545
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: Cole in Pittsburgh, especially because they throw very similar pitches.

546
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: They have if you put them like overlay their wind

547
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: up and how they throw.

548
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: Dude, I insepted you with this. Now, this is my

549
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: take from last year.

550
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: I said this before you did. I can go to

551
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: go to my video, go to my zacho and he

552
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: signs with the Philadelphia Phillies and we were not talking

553
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: this much at this point.

554
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. I applied to work for

555
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: a baseball ops internship with the Phillies before during it

556
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: was during the off season before Wheeler signed, and I

557
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 2: wrote my entire entire write up to those rat focks

558
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: about why Zach Wheeler was the most valuable free agent

559
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: on the market, and I use I made my own

560
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: graphics that overlay and all their stuff and just showed

561
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: their differences in like uh in like pitch selection. Basically,

562
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: I was like, this is the one.

563
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: So for those of you you know, listening or watching,

564
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: just to prove it. So December fourth, twenty nineteen, Zach

565
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: Wheeler signs with the Phillies. If you go to my video,

566
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: I literally the same thing, Like pull up the numbers

567
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: of Coal and Wheeler for the three years before Cole

568
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: was in Houston and the three years that Wheeler was

569
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: with the Mets, and they have almost identical numbers with

570
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: the identical pitches. I think Cole throws his curveball a

571
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: little bit more, I think might be the only difference

572
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: or something like that. Whatever it was, I don't remember

573
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: what the exact you know, numbers are, because it was

574
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: the big.

575
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: Thing with both of those guys when they switched teams

576
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: and went to I guess that time the Mets were

577
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 2: pretty incompetent. Organization still is just throwing less sinkers in

578
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: favor of more fortem fastballs, yes, and Wheeler did that

579
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 2: last year, but he still wasn't getting that the whiffs

580
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 2: he wanted. I think Wheeler had like the lowestrackout rags

581
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: career last year. It was like basically under twenty percent.

582
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 2: He was like Kyle Hendricks with a one hundred mile

583
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: and hour fastball. But yesterday Wheeler's fastball was blazing hot

584
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: and he was getting tons of whiffs. He got eight

585
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: whiffs on the on just a fastball and like forty

586
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: something pitches, which was great, and he topped out of

587
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: one hundred. He was sitting ninety eight. That's really good.

588
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's I think, like anybody with a clue

589
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: that was a Mets fan knew that this was gonna

590
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 1: be a guy that's gonna hurt us that we let

591
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: go over the difference of fifteen million dollars over five years,

592
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: which you know, thank you cheap ass Will Ponds for that,

593
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: because everybody knew, like we saw what he was doing

594
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: with the Mets the field last few years. He was

595
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: getting strong. He was finally showing that he was healthy,

596
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: and while he still had a little bit of like

597
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: I like to call him, like he nibbled a little bit.

598
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: He just he wasn't putting away guys, which I think

599
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: that's always probably gonna be a little bit of his

600
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: problem is he just doesn't put people away. But his

601
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: stuff was so good and when he is clicking, which

602
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: I think that's what you can expect to see now

603
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: with the Phillies, Like you go, man, this guy is

604
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: really really good.

605
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: Dude, definitely, and he's like near the top of the

606
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: league over the last three seasons and like innings pitched

607
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: and games started, like he's become something of a horse,

608
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: which is crazy, I think about from where he came from.

609
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: But this is not by the Phillies. I think we

610
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: transitioned a little bit, just for a few minutes on

611
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: the Braves, because those two guys have made the Braves

612
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: hitters look bad like so far this season, even including

613
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: today at the time of shooting this, so it might

614
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: be different by the time that we put it out,

615
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: but Ozuna, Freeman Alby's have combined for one hit versus

616
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: these Philly starting pitchers. Of course, that's not gonna last.

617
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: The Braids are gonna get hot. Those bats are some

618
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: of the best in baseball. But I think it just

619
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: shows that a lot of the teams at the top

620
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 2: of this division might be closer than people think.

621
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair statement. Like I don't want

622
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: to overreact too much, because, like you said, these bats

623
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: are some of the best in the league, and they

624
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: are also facing some of the better pitchers in the league,

625
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 1: So it's expected that you're not going to necessarily put

626
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: up a five spot on them every single time you

627
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: face them. So it's fine, especially early in the season

628
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: when pitchers tend to be ahead of hitters anyway. But

629
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: I think the Braves, you know, might be in it,

630
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: might be in a little bit of trouble, especially with

631
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: the pitching side. I expected their pitching to be better,

632
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: and maybe that was foolish of me. You've been saying

633
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: it from the start that this Braves pitching isn't anything,

634
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: but I just.

635
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: Like anything, but just seems like it's a little bit

636
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: inflated by I don't even know, by something like past performance,

637
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: like well.

638
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: Like Charlie Morton. Isn't just saying Charlie Morton that he

639
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: once was not even close to that. There's a reason

640
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: the Rays didn't bring him back, and because I think

641
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: they saw this definitely.

642
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: And also the Met's kind of bat out of that

643
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: negotiation too, which it was kind of cool. But he

644
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: didn't look very good all yesterday. I'm gonna check out

645
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: his velocity numbers right now, but his curve ball looks

646
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 2: a little bit weak. He let's see, he sat ninety

647
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: four and a half, which is pretty okay for him.

648
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: They'll come he hit, he touched ninety six a few times,

649
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: but he only we had three whiffs on his curveball.

650
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: That's crazy low for Charlie Mooreton. That's like, that's a scary. Yeah,

651
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: that's a very scary number. I guess. I mean you

652
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: through thirty times, but still you got if he's the

653
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: two star there. Especially They're bullpen's also not very good.

654
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: They're bopins blew the game on an opening day too. Like,

655
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: there's just not a lot of pitching depth here. They're

656
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: gonna need like big, big seasons from Ian Anderson, Kyle Wright,

657
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: Bryce Wilson. They're gonna be multiple of those guys to

658
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: step up if they want to get like if they

659
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: want to have the pitching depth to compete with the

660
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: Mets in the Phillies, which is crazy talking about the Phillies'

661
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: pitching depth because now I think they actually have some.

662
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like a video I made recently about like

663
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: how every team can win the World Series for the Braves,

664
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: I was like, the pitching obviously has to step up,

665
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: but it's not just like the guys that you think.

666
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: It's like like you said Kyle Wright, Bryce Wilson, even

667
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: like a Twoki Tusson, those guys need to step up.

668
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Because we saw Sean Newcomb pitch yesterday and I think

669
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: the Sean nuclemb experiment needs to come to an end

670
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: in Atlanta.

671
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: Now it's bad.

672
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: He just unless he pitches against the Mets, he doesn't

673
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: have it. So I like, I don't know how many

674
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: more times are gonna throw this guy out there and

675
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: just see him consistently like struggle doesn't throw strikes, doesn't

676
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: put batters away, gets hit hard. Even last year when

677
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: he pitched against the Mets, I think had a good

678
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: outing per se. I think it was a game where

679
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: they just like smacked us by like fifteen runs. Sean

680
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: Nukom I think still through like eighty pitchers from three

681
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: and a half innings and it was like this is

682
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: that was.

683
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: Like that was like a seventeen eleven like someday in

684
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 2: that baseball.

685
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Game, right yeah, And it was just like the Mets

686
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: were hitting him hard, hitting him into outs. He got lucky,

687
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: and I just don't feel like the Braves have seen that,

688
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: and they keep throwing him out there and he keeps

689
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: not pitching.

690
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's weird. As good as the Braves development has

691
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: been like with hitters, like they basically haven't missed on

692
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 2: the bats, their pitching development has not been good. Like Newcomb,

693
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: Tuki Tucson and Kyle Wright all objectively have like top

694
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: end stuff, like you watch those guys pitch, and like

695
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: the curves are nice of lastly, besides her, Newcomb is

696
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: good like Slider's change ups. They have everything that you

697
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: everything in a toolbox and you need to be a

698
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: successful pitcher. But they're all just off. They all don't

699
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: have the command that it takes to be successful starting

700
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: pitcher in the major leagues, which is kind of it's

701
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: worrisome for them, it's cool for us, and they're putting

702
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: a lot of eggs in Ian anderson basket. Ian Andersen

703
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: looks great and he had an awesomere last year, highly

704
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: tied the prospect, but he still doesn't really have the

705
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: leads last of the or elite stuff like there could

706
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: there's a there's a galaxy and Sam Sam is true

707
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: with Freed. I do love Max Freed though, but there's

708
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: a galaxy where both of those guys take at least

709
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: half steps back.

710
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And even when you talk about like their their

711
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: pitching development, I mean like a guy like Kyle Muller

712
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: was like super super hyped up, super super top and

713
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: he's kind of like fizzled off a little bit. And

714
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: even some of the guys that they've traded away recently,

715
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: it's just like the pitchers they have gotten had hype

716
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: and just haven't really developed into what they thought they

717
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: would be. And go figure like Max Freed and Soroka

718
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: are the guys that end up being like they're big

719
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: you know one two, And Soroka is gonna come back

720
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: eventually at some point, I think, like by the.

721
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: End of YACK, probably in a few weeks. Yeah, and Smiley.

722
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: Smiley's also looked good. He had a good spring, he

723
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: had his good sample last year. But you can't count

724
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 2: Drew Smiley.

725
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: You shouldn't. You shouldn't be kind of a guy who

726
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: can't ever pitch more than eighty innings in the years.

727
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 2: Literally, if he gives you one hundred third the innings,

728
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: you should like go down on your knees and just like,

729
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: thank the heavens Smiley.

730
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: He'll give you a good one thirty probably for sure.

731
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 2: I like as a fantasy baseball player, I've been getting

732
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: Drew Smiley everywhere just because the stuff is there. It's

733
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: always been there. But I been waiting for Drew Smiley

734
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: since his days with the Rays just to put it

735
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: together one time. It just might be like I don't know,

736
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: like there how unintimidating. Is the Braves bullpen super.

737
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: So like I like some of the arms, but then

738
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: they just they haven't produced this year, which again two games,

739
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm you gotta take everything with a grain of salt.

740
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: But I like Will Smith a lot like I think

741
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: he just gets slept on, you know, yeah, very good.

742
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: Will Smith's really good. And I like Chris Martin. I

743
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: think Chris Martin showed like some good stuff the last

744
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: couple of years with the Braves.

745
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: He's fine, he's good.

746
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: But the rest of it, like Luke Jackson, stinks. Yeah,

747
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: I would love to see Luke Jackson coming in a close.

748
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: Please, Matt sick like appears to be good, but I

749
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 2: just simply don't believe it.

750
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's just like it was a short sample

751
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: size last year and he has some stuff. But he's

752
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: another guy who like highly touted prospect. He was what

753
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: the number eleven overall pick back in two thousand and nine,

754
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: and he really only just started to get like, A,

755
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: did you do that for memory? No, I I him.

756
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: I did it. So he was the Mike Trout draft

757
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: I think right two thousand and nine or whatever, it

758
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: was much bigger. The only reason I know that is

759
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: because I did a video about like the guys picked

760
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: before Mike Trout, and I think he was one of them.

761
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: And I remember being like at the time when I

762
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: made the video, like he hasn't pitched since twenty fifteen

763
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: in the majors. I was like, so, I don't really

764
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: know what to take with it. In reliever role, he

765
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: could be effective, but he also.

766
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: Definitely he's trying. Did thirty five percent k Ray last year,

767
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: which is that's pretty elite. That'll that'll get the job

768
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: done ten times out of ten. But like you said, again,

769
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: these guys don't These guys do not strike fear into me.

770
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: No. I think the Braves team is just they're a

771
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: team that kind of needs everything to go right right

772
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: now in order to.

773
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: Be as good as everything on the pitching side.

774
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: Hitting side, no worries, there's literally no on the hitting side.

775
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna go hot, you're gonna go cold. That happens

776
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: throughout a year. But I think there are legitimate concerns

777
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: with their pitching that need to be addressed at some

778
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: point by them. As a Mets fan, I'm happy, yes,

779
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: which I mean, like right now, the Nationals have some problems,

780
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: The Braves got some problems. The Phillies are the only

781
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: team that's looking pretty good right now.

782
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 2: Phillies look pretty good, but the Phillies also put up

783
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: like literally two empty spots in the order every single day.

784
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: It's just like the Phillies are gonna score runs. That's

785
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: always gonna be their thing. They're gonna be able to

786
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: outscore people. They have a fairly good offense. Like I

787
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: hate Hoskins, but he hits. Real Muto hits even though

788
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: is he he's not playing today, Think Knap's playing today, right.

789
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but real midis start the year. He'sah, he's healthy.

790
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: He had to put the ball in play like one

791
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: hundred ten miles now yesterday. He's healthy at house about right.

792
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, d D as much as like d D is

793
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: an average shortstop, Like he still hits well. The reason

794
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: he's average is because he can't field.

795
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: And the same with cigar Al Sagur does his hit. Yeah,

796
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: I love that guy.

797
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 1: All he does is hit, but also like not really

798
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, yeah no, but kind of like he he's

799
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: the classic, like I'm good for like a good single

800
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: every game. I love a good single. I'll have an

801
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: ops that hovers right around seven to fifty every year.

802
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: So he doesn't like he's not someone that instills fhere

803
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: in most teams.

804
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: No, but he's he's a baseball player, Sigur. Yes, every

805
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: single day he's on the field, like good things happen,

806
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: Like he runs the base as well, even as like

807
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: his athleticism diminishes, he continues to steal basis. He's really

808
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,239
Speaker 2: like he's only stolen a base this year. Yeah, like

809
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: not many guys steal basis, Sigura found one. Like he

810
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: just a good ball play, doesn't try out very much.

811
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: He doesn't walk very much either, but like, but he

812
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: does things that are good consistently and.

813
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: Like in that lineup, you can hit him towards like

814
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, the back end of it and to help.

815
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if there hitting like six seven, he's

816
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: just been just been like raking him in.

817
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: Boem's a beast. I'm a big fan of Bone. We

818
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: know how good Harper is. We don't have to talk

819
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: about Harper. He's a stud, even though you know Mets

820
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: have had his number recently, which is nice. But and

821
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: then Andrew McCutcheon.

822
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: I kind of think he does.

823
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: Think he's kind of like he reminds me a lot

824
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: of like the Curts Granderson role with the Mets back

825
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: of the antient fifteen like top of the order, lead

826
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: off home run. That's kind of what they're looking for,

827
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: right there.

828
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: Elder Statesman.

829
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: Yes, So the Phillies team, it's I think we do

830
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: get We got unlucky that we had no Opening Day baseball,

831
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: but we got lucky that we get to face the

832
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: Phillies with our best pitchers and they have Matt Moore

833
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: and Chase Anderson, Chase and pitching two of the three years. Like,

834
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: couldn't have asked for a better matchup.

835
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: And of course that's gonna be Spencer Harward at some

836
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: point this year. I guess they want to see some

837
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: more of him in the miners, but we will take

838
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: every single Chase anders to start directly to the bank.

839
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm excited. I'm excited to face him.

840
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah no, And of course, you know, knock on wood,

841
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: he's not gonna come out there and pitch lights out

842
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden and throw ninety six or whatever.

843
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: It's Oh, it looks like a real idiot. Chase Anderson

844
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: shuts them. That's down six innings.

845
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: You mentioned Chase Anderson. I laughed. I laughed in his face.

846
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully Chase Anderson isn't listening, putting this

847
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: up in his locker or whatever as little motivation the

848
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: mets up.

849
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: I almost hope he does. I would be I would

850
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: kill if this guy's major league baseball locker rooms. That'd

851
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: be great. I don't even care.

852
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: They're listening to Mark Luno and James Ghiata before the game.

853
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: They're like, Jase Anderson's like, these assholes think I can't pitch.

854
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: I'll show them, Yeah, real score, strong guy behind the microphone,

855
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: huh yeah, let me see.

856
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: You try to hit me. It's like, well, you know

857
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: you are a major league baseball.

858
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: Pitcher, so I would try.

859
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: I think we'd have a shot if there's anybody on

860
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: that Philly Chase Anderson though, if.

861
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: You had to, if you had to face one picture

862
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 2: in major League Baseball on the short list, He's definitely

863
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: on the shortlist. He's one of the guys I'm considering him.

864
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: And maybe who was it that pitch yesterday that was

865
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: just all Chris Archer against the Marlins looked horrendous not

866
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: to shoot on Chris Archer. He's such a nice, good dude.

867
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: I met him at spring train a couple of years ago.

868
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Incredibly friendly and nice.

869
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: But he just does also it's just like the racic

870
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: outlets syndrome. It's just impossible to come back from. And

871
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: speaking of the race a Catlin syndrome.

872
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go.

873
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: Yesterday for some reason, people thought Mets Opening Day was yesterday.

874
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: Becausett Harvey was pitching for the Orioles for some reason.

875
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: That's a big deal.

876
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: Am I maybe the bad take of the day because

877
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: I had a tweet that I mean people on Mets Twitter,

878
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: you would you would have thought that I said Tom

879
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: Seaver is a piece of shit. Low life that why

880
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: are they building a statue for him? I mean, let

881
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: me read out the tweet. James gotten the bad tweet

882
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: you know day last few times. Let me read out mine.

883
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 1: And you know, according to Mets Twitter, this is a

884
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: bad take all of a sudden, which I vehemently disagree with. So,

885
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: like James said, you would have thought it was Mets

886
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: Opening Day because it was Harvey. Thank you. I say

887
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: t word sat word of the day. I think I

888
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: do that every single episode as well. But it was Harvey,

889
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: Harvey Harvey NonStop yesterday on Twitter. So I was like,

890
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: am I the only Mets fan who couldn't care less

891
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: about how Matt Harvey does today? Did we all forget

892
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: how much of a tool he was at the end

893
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: of his tenure with the Mets. By the way, didn't

894
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: say I hope he pitches like shit, I hope he

895
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: gets hurt. I just said, I don't care he doesn't

896
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: play for the Mets anymore. It's irrelevant. His performance has

897
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: no impact on my life whatsoever. And I got quote

898
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: tweeted out the ass I got replied to. People were

899
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: trying to ratio me. The tweet still did well, still

900
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: got seven hundred likes. So there are plenty of Mets fans.

901
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 2: Who agree with me. Wow, dude, sick.

902
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: But there are so many people and like you know,

903
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: some names in the Mets community that you probably know

904
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: that were like just so upset that I said this.

905
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I don't. I can't even comprehend caring

906
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: about Matt Harvey anymore. Like Rafael Montero gave up a

907
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: home run the other night to Alex Dickerson, who cares

908
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: like Steven Mattz is going to pitch this week for

909
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays, who cares like these guys aren't on

910
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: the Mets.

911
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: I honestly have more interest in Rafael Montero than Matt

912
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: Harvey at this point, because there's a world where Rafael

913
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: Montero could have an impact for the Mets if we

914
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: trade for him as a bullpen arm where I see,

915
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: there's no world where Matt Harvey comes back on the

916
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: Mets or should come back to the Mets.

917
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 2: Do you know whose start former met was actually more

918
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: meaningful than Harvey's yesterday it's Flexen, Yes, yeah, could go, yes,

919
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: it's so great about.

920
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Like I get it. Harvey had the twenty fifteen World

921
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: Series and he pitch his heart out, and he was

922
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: great for us when he was great. But after twenty fifteen,

923
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: obviously he had the injuries and stuff and his career

924
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: went downhill. And I just he left a bad taste

925
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: in my mouth with how he ended of like when

926
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: he got sent down and he needed to be sent down,

927
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: he didn't have it. He had to figure something out,

928
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: refuse the assignment. That was like trade me, get me

929
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: off the team.

930
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: No, he was literally always an asshole. Like you remember

931
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 2: that time that like David Wright when he was like

932
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 2: on the team for a few weeks and probably twenty

933
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: fifteen or fourteen, he like walked up the Harvey and

934
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 2: like put his arm around him, like basically chastised him

935
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: for being a douchebag. Like I like Harvey did have

936
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: those great seasons for the Mets. I'll never forget the

937
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 2: way he pitched in like twenty thirteen, he was elect fourteen.

938
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: It was absolutely incredible, one of the one of the best,

939
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: like short, one of the best full seasons in Mets history.

940
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: But he's gonna be considered like kind of like I

941
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: guess a doc goodin when it's all said and done.

942
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: But even then that's disrespectful to Doc Good.

943
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, because Doc Good had more good years and

944
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: he did way more cocaine, so there was more of

945
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: a reason for him to.

946
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: Fall off and won a World Series and won a

947
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: cy Young I mean, like he was just a significantly

948
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: better pitcher than Matt Harvey. So like I had people say, like, oh,

949
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: the Harvey thing is comparable to Dockers Strawberry. I got

950
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: a couple DMS about that. I'm like, but it's not,

951
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: because you're talking about some of the greatest players in

952
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: Mets history that you know, one day maybe if they

953
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: didn't have all these you know, copious drug problems and

954
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: arrests and everything, could have had their number retired in

955
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: the stadium. Matt Harvey is nowhere even close, I think,

956
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: to making it into the Mets Hall of Fame. I'm

957
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: so done with Harvey. This is such an old Mets thinking.

958
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: This is such an old Mets like way to act

959
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: is worrying about how Matt Harvey does. And it's okay,

960
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: you can want him to do well, but I think

961
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: like everybody's in the back of their mind hoping that

962
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: Harvey's gonna return to twenty fourteen, twenty thirteen form, which.

963
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: Is no chance that ever happens.

964
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: It's possible with what's happened to him, it's just physically

965
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: not going to happen. I'm sorry to reign on your preger.

966
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: You've been the chance of Chase Anderson throwing the perfect

967
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: and yes, there's just there's zero chance that Matt Harvey

968
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: returns to the form that he has, and I think

969
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 2: a lot of Mets fans hope that he does, and

970
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 2: that he's gonna make a comeback with the Mets and

971
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: be our fifth starter or a guy that there can't that,

972
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: that can't be it, that can't be what people actually think, ess.

973
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: And why tweets it out every other day like, oh,

974
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: it is impossible, Matt Harvey reunion inevitable. When I go sane,

975
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: Sandy Alderson seems to be pretty competent, and it seems

976
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: like Steve Cohen and everyone else around there does. Uh No,

977
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: if you have any sort of idea of what's going on,

978
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Matt Harvey reunion should be the last thing you're thinking about.

979
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: We should be out there focused on getting good players

980
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: that can help us win, not worried about the old

981
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: guys that Let's see if he can go out there

982
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: and lace them up one more time for the Mets.

983
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: No, the guy is literally irrelevant. He couldn't be more irrelevant.

984
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: He's like he's a fringe starter for the team with

985
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: the worst pitching in baseball? Like, who who? Who cares to?

986
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: You know? Play Devil's advocate here? Did have a decent

987
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: start yesterday, didn't have a series even, like, I mean,

988
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: at that point I had to because everyone was shitting

989
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: down my throat for saying I didn't care. But he

990
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: actually had a decent start yesterday, four and two thirds.

991
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: It's Matt Harvey. It's fine. Six hits, uh one walk

992
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: nowhe and run or two earned runs, four strikeouts. Fine,

993
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,959
Speaker 1: that's Matt. But that's probably the best performance you're gonna

994
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: get out of Matt Harvey in the season right now.

995
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: A historically good performance by Matt Harvey.

996
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, I mean, just like the quote tweets and

997
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: the replies I was getting, you were you seriously would

998
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: have thought I was talking about Mets royalty that I

999
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: didn't care about. Again, didn't say I hope this guy

1000
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: pitches like shit. Didn't say, you know, I hope he

1001
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: stubs his toe and can't play. I was just like,

1002
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't care, and I don't understand why Mets fans do.

1003
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: Matt Harvey threw sixty six percent fastballs in the start yesterday.

1004
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: That's crazy. And the guy once was and he to

1005
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: he topped out, topped out ninety four and a half. Yeah,

1006
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 2: sat in ninety three.

1007
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: He can't, he can't live that way. Eventually teams are

1008
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: gonna go and hit him really, really hard. Like it's just.

1009
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: Surprising the Red Sox didn't. I thought the Red Sox

1010
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: had a good offense through the first week. That's been

1011
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: pretty bad.

1012
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: They've been ice cold. They've been ice cold. We have

1013
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: so many good players to focus on, and we have

1014
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: so many things with our own team. I get the

1015
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: Mets weren't playing, so you had to find something. But

1016
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: the idea that like Matt Harvey is this like folk legend,

1017
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: this hero, like people were making him out to be,

1018
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: like I don't a messiah, almost like he gave it all,

1019
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: he ruined his career for this team. Like I was like,

1020
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, he pitched, he pitches, not what happened

1021
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: he got hurt while he was on the team. Yes,

1022
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: and I loved what he did. I would have gave

1023
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: him the ball in twenty fifteen again too. I was

1024
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: so pumped when he ran out of the dugout. I

1025
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: was like, hell, yeah, this is sick goosebump moments. But

1026
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: that Harvey's gone, it's over. Put in the past. Let's

1027
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: look fun. We have so many good things to look

1028
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: forward to. Why are we living in the past talking

1029
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: about Matt Harvey? Still nonsense, But yeah, I mean that

1030
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: was a I'll take Actually, you know what, that's that's

1031
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: the bad tweet of the day. Apparently we'll go with

1032
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: that one for today. And then the last little bit

1033
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: thing to talk about. There's not too much to go

1034
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: over here with this, but Canfoido extension rumors have been

1035
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: flying around a little bit we.

1036
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: As they pushed back recording this like a few minutes,

1037
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 2: just because Confordo was speaking to the media over the

1038
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: last half hour, and he has since said at this point,

1039
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 2: I'm not really interested in talking about it. When Anthony

1040
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: Dicomo asking about an extension right now, I'm focusing on

1041
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: baseball and focus on getting ready for the Phillies. So

1042
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like we're gonna get a Michael Conford

1043
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 2: though extension, and it didn't really seem like that ever,

1044
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: especially given next years free agents Scott Boris being his agent.

1045
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 2: This was a Foregock conclusion for years. Whatever, that's all right.

1046
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't mean that also get it done. It's

1047
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: just yeah.

1048
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 2: Also, apparently Michael Confordo's is not getting the COVID vaccine,

1049
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: which you could take that as you will.

1050
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: And apparently Jad Davis made to a lot of mets

1051
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: open about uh not getting COVID vaccine, and that was

1052
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: another thing that was starting up a shit storm on

1053
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: Twitter the other day too, like everyone's freaking out about that.

1054
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of anti vacciners in the clubhouse. Whatever. Yeah,

1055
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 2: it's not great.

1056
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: But I prefer they got the vaccine.

1057
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: I definitely, yeah, I'd like it.

1058
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: I'd like if they did. I'd like if they believed

1059
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: in modern medicine. But it's fine, I get it. Everyone

1060
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: has their own beliefs to each their own. It's whatever.

1061
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, we all want Hifwardo back. We

1062
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: know we want him back. I think the Lindor contract

1063
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: at least kind of sets a little bit of a

1064
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: tone of what they can offer him, and like that

1065
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: they are willing to spend this kind of money.

1066
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: But he's it seems it's he's definitely gonna get a

1067
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: minimum two hundred million dollars and it just doesn't seem

1068
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: like the Mets are willing to fork over half a

1069
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: billion in a week.

1070
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I don't think this week. I think that's

1071
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: a decision that they might make at the end of

1072
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: the season, and depending on his performance, that number might

1073
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: go up, it might go down.

1074
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: Who knows, but it could say exactly say.

1075
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: I feel like right now, the baseline at least for

1076
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: him is probably eight for two hundred, I would think,

1077
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: right mm hm, that gives him a twenty five a year, yeah,

1078
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: which I think that'd be. I think that's a fair

1079
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: for both sides because I don't think he's a thirty

1080
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: million dollars a year player. I think you have to

1081
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: seriously be an MVP candidate to kind of get that

1082
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: that kind of money, and he's not there yet. He's

1083
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 1: a great hitter, but he's not an MVP candidate just yet.

1084
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: Twenty five mil, I think would be fair. Is that

1085
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: what he's gonna want. Probably not. He's a borest agent,

1086
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: probably wants as much as physically possible.

1087
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: He's a little fun update we were talking about Ethlyn

1088
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: shoving before he got through six innings scoreless, and Travis

1089
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 2: Darnault just has a solo home run for the Braves

1090
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 2: to tie the game in the seventh.

1091
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: That's helping him out. That's Mets players always being up

1092
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: on the Phillies. You gotta love that. This is a

1093
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: little thing I wanted to bring up here too. So

1094
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: are we rooting for the Braves or the Phillies in

1095
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: these games? Because I've kind of been going for the

1096
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: Phillies because I go, I think the Braves are gonna

1097
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: win more, but also at the same time, like I

1098
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: don't want the Phillies win too many.

1099
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: This isn't this, This is July and August problem. Yes,

1100
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not ruined for other teams yet. Yeah, okay,

1101
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: I'm simply we're only ruining for the teams because the

1102
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: Mets are not on. Yes, we're just bored.

1103
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: That's that's true. So bored, man. No, Mets baseball is

1104
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: a punishment.

1105
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sucks.

1106
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: It's a punch lousy, good for nothing, the loser national fucks. Yeah.

1107
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: Amen, hate them, hate them, hate them.

1108
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: And when we play them, we're gonna have to stomp

1109
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: on their throats. It's just that simple.

1110
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 2: I plan to yes, curb style. I'd love to do

1111
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 2: it personally. Yeah, it'd be great.

1112
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: Smack them around a little bit, be like, you know what,

1113
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: you can be the fourth place team. Now, see you later. Yeah, no,

1114
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: I think this was a you know, considering again nothing

1115
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: but something has happened for like the third straight recording

1116
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: of ours.

1117
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, as we've squeaked out three episodes here and there

1118
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: even was a fourth that we just held held from

1119
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 2: you guys because it wasn't very good because we had

1120
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: nothing to talk about. Yeah, we've done well, it's been good.

1121
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: May imagine what we're going to talk about in the

1122
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: Mets do play?

1123
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, when the Mets have games and like little decisions

1124
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: to go over and performances. This might turn into a

1125
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: three hour podcast. Hopefully not, but I mean like, yeah,

1126
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,480
