1
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: What is up, Mets fans, We are back here the

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Mets the Podcast, episode number sixteen. I'm one of your

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: co hosts, draftneck Mark Mark Luino along with James Ciano

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: Jeter had no range talking about in New York Mets

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Baseball after every single series this season, that's what we're

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: doing today. We just wrapped up a series against the

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves, and while this team might be battered and

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: bruised and beaten, we actually came out and had a

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: fairly good series, all things considering. So we're gonna go

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: through the series every single game pretty much in depth

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: like we always do. If you're a new listener, thank

00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: yesterday with Kevin Pillar, which we'll talk about in a

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: little bit when we get to it. But oh, that

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: was like Chef's Kiss perfect, so many impressions. We're also

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: after this, I guess it was a good series against

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: the Braves.

26
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: How are we feeling it was a good series? To

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: think that the way it described this series is bittersweet?

28
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: This was a bittersweet series because despite the fact that

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: we showed up with mostly a minor league baseball team,

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: we got eight, not even eight total innings from our

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: starting pitchers, we still manage to take two games from

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: the division defending champion Braves. And we know, you win

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: a division by winning the most games in the division.

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: Ever since twenty fifteen, the National League East teams with

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: the most wins inside a division has won. So that's

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: what you do. You pick off the Braves, you win,

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: but you just wish you could have had that third

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: game tonight.

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: And you know, for me, even so, like I had

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: said from the start, if we want to win this division, specifically,

42
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: we have to beat the Braves, I said, until the

43
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Mets beat them, I don't think this is a team

44
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: that necessarily is the favorite to win the NL East.

45
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: But shockingly, despite being so battered and bruised, like I

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: said at the beginning of the episode, the Mets came

47
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: out and won the series all odds against them, against

48
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: the Braves team that a lot of people not only

49
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: thought we're gonna win the National League East, but be

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: a possible World Series contender this year, and the Mets

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: came out and kind of surprised everyone, even ourselves included.

52
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: Oh, I was shocked again even tonight during our comeback.

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: I was very surprised that, like the grit and determination

54
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: this team has showed, it's kind of been the carrying

55
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: call of this roster the whole season, which is weird

56
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: that we've showed so much grit and perseverance since only

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: May nineteenth, but like we've needed it and we've had it.

58
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Uncle Stevie said it best that we have a touch

59
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: stretch coming up, and the guys are digging deep.

60
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Digging so deep. They are gritty, they're scrappy. Any Bill Belichick,

61
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: you know word that you want to throw out there

62
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: to talk about working hard, That's exactly what these Mets

63
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: are doing. And it all got started in Game one.

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Here as we hop into Game one where we had

65
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker, who was one of our guys who wasn't

66
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: hurt at the time on the mound pitching well all

67
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: season long, was cruising and then, in typical fashion for

68
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: what seems like this year, Taiwan leaves the game.

69
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: It does leave the game. We kind of alluded to

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: the fact that Taiwan might be injured over the last

71
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: few weeks. His velocities stick down a little bit from

72
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: what we saw his first collection of starts on the season,

73
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: and I guess another awful prediction that we've made has

74
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 2: come true, and he did have to leave this game

75
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: with a tight lad and now he's found himself on

76
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: the il, which is an awful blow that this rotation

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: really did not need.

78
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: Luckily for us, though the MRI came back clean, it's

79
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: just left side tightness. I think this is more on

80
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: the precautionary side, because I think they also want him

81
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: to he might get a rehab start in between there too,

82
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: just to make sure that everything's okay. That seems like

83
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: something the Mets are gonna do this year is if

84
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: there's anything slightly wrong with the pitchers, specifically, they're gonna

85
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: throw these guys on the il let them get a

86
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: start in the minor leagues to make sure everything's good

87
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: before they come back. We see that with the Grom

88
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: possibly pitching tomorrow and then hopefully coming back for the weekend.

89
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Stinks to see Taiwan hit the il though, because he's

90
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: a guy who's always been battling injuries and has looked

91
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: so strong and healthy this year. Been a bulldog for us,

92
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: and he was pitching so well again against the Braves.

93
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, this This is just what happens when you

94
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: pitch Taiwan Walker in a night game. It's not natural.

95
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: It shouldn't happen. He's the day man. Everyone has to

96
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: get on board with this role. You have to fine

97
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: tune Taywan Walker's game. So pitch at one o'clock or

98
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: even four o'clock in the afternoon, no evenings, no dusk.

99
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: Sun cannot set on Taiwan Walker. He's like the princess

100
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: from Shrek. Yes, and Shrek one. It's been a been

101
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: a big week for Shrek twentieth anniversary.

102
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: Actually what a movie?

103
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, amazing movie. But he just once the sun

104
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: goes down, he turns into an ogre. Can't have this

105
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: happen can't have it happen.

106
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: We need our bulldog there, except you know, not a

107
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: princess but more of a bulldog. But then Sean Reid

108
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Folly came in and does what Sean Reid fully seemingly

109
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: does for us. He has, as we've said many times,

110
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: been a godsend.

111
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: No god say, it's so important what he's done for

112
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: this team. I think a lot of people saw the

113
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: Steven match return in the off season and just assumed

114
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: we were kind of getting rid of him just to

115
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: like get a roster spot and shut a little bit

116
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: of the money. But man, has Sean Reid Foley been good.

117
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: The era is sparkling. The k per nine is pristine.

118
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: He struck out five guys and only three innings pitched yesterday.

119
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: He was mixing up his four seamer with his change

120
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: up with a slide there. He got that four seamer

121
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: up to ninety six, which is that's just such a

122
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: great number to hit for a guy who's in like

123
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: that sweeper fireman role. The one thing about Sean Reid

124
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: Foley SRF as people have been calling him, which I

125
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: kind of like, it's also, yeah, it's like a not

126
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: like a colloquial collection of leathers, but it's way easier

127
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: than Sean Reid Foley. This was the first time we

128
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: saw him use a change up very much. This is

129
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: the first time he's used it just even more than

130
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: three times. And any start all year, not start appearance,

131
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: he's not a starter. He could be a starter the

132
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: maybe next week, but right now he's not. We threw

133
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: thirteen times, ten more times than he has in any

134
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: appearance this year, and he got five whiffs on and

135
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: eight swings for sixty three percent.

136
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: That's amazing good, that's very strong.

137
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, forty three percent whiffs in the appearance, that's e lead.

138
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: You do that all year and you're gonna be one

139
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: of the better relievers on this team.

140
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: And it felt like he did the thing that we've

141
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: applauded him for all year longest. He comes in when

142
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: we need him. He's always in a little bit of

143
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: a clean up role because he's not really he's not

144
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: the opener. He's more of the swingman, I guess is

145
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: what they call it nowadays. But he has come in

146
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: and just pounded the zone and that's what I love

147
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: to see. Again. Doesn't have the greatest stuff in the world.

148
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: We know that, but he is attacking the zone and

149
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: he's locating so well right now, SRF whatever we're calling

150
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: him now, he is a legitimate piece of this bullpen.

151
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: Been huge. He's made more of an impact than I

152
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of people expected, myself included, oh.

153
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I don't even I wouldn't even say

154
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: the stuff is bad. I think the stuff is fine.

155
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: With the great location that becomes a good picture. But

156
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: the guy has no fear. He comes in with energy,

157
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: which I think you need for this kind of weird role.

158
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: Where now the starter and now the reliever again the swingman,

159
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: as you said.

160
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: He has that psycho look too, with like the little

161
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: mustache and he's all tatted up and stuff, and he

162
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: kind of just comes in there like a little bit

163
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: like like what is this guy's deal? Like he does

164
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: out there?

165
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: Does the weird crouch?

166
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like his.

167
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Energy, to love his energy.

168
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: And then we had Thomas Nido, who is your boy,

169
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: my catcher, that's your guy, your catcher, Uh, maybe possibly

170
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: being the new starter at least it's kind of looking

171
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: like it seems like.

172
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: He's, if nothing else, taking a bigger piece of the pie.

173
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: And Rojas even mentioned that explicitly, I think after this game,

174
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: because the guy just continues to hit three knocks on

175
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: Monday two run scored two balls in play over ninety

176
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: five miles and now we're one of one hundred and three. Like,

177
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: he's not just sneaking these bye, he is hitting the ball.

178
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: There's no of course, tonight the big hit was a gimmey,

179
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: but these are real bass hits at Tomasnedo's getting. And

180
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: the funny thing about Nido's clutch hitting on Monday night

181
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: is that McCann got the big hit to drive him in.

182
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: Yes he did. Mccanna actually did something positive for us

183
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: on the offensive side. Game one, everyone was kind of

184
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: just putting stuff together and it wasn't really a good

185
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: game either played by the Bets, but again this entire

186
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta series, what they did was they got the job done.

187
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: They did what they had to do to win. They

188
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: weren't necessarily the best team out there, but they ended

189
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: up getting some wins, which was huge. And I think

190
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: what I love the most about Nido is that in

191
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: the past his swing has been very timid, not super aggressive,

192
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: and it looks like this year he's really just like

193
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: you know what E fit I'm going up there, I'm swinging,

194
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm taking hacks. I'm not going down like with these

195
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: kind of defensive swings like he's going up there looking

196
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: together and when you got to hit her up at

197
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: the play comfortable like we've seen with Jon Jonathan VR

198
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: ever since you mentioned him talking about what did you

199
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: say he's playing loose? What were the words he used?

200
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: He's not afraid to play baseball.

201
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Yes, Nido looks like he's not afraid of the play

202
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: it anymore. And I love it because if he's gonna

203
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: hit like this, keep getting more games Gary, Gary and

204
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,559
Speaker 1: Ron even alluded to today that McCann and Needo both

205
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: should not be catchers playing more than one hundred games

206
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: in the season. They're very much for this platoon that

207
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: we got going on.

208
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome. I think that we saw this new

209
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: Neto coming into his own last year as well, where

210
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: he started to swing me and he started to be aggressive.

211
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: And I have some wild Nedos stats that was gonna

212
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: share as we got later into the show. But I

213
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: feel like now it's gonna be our Neo portion do

214
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: so I'm ready to talk about it now. But Tomas Nios,

215
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: since it started twenty twenty. I've given these stats a

216
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: few times. I'm gonna put them in perspective here. He's

217
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: played twenty two games, which is weird because sometimes he

218
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: starts games. Sometimes he gets pinch hits. Now like twenty

219
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: two games with sixty four play appearances, four home runs,

220
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: twelve RBIs including his two massive rbs tonight to eighty

221
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: eight batting average. That's good. That's a pretty good number

222
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: OPS above nine hundred since the Star of twenty twenty.

223
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: That is third among all active catchers, and his WRC

224
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: plus is above one forty five since Star twenty twenty,

225
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: only trailing Buster Posey because his amazing season this year

226
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 2: didn't even play in twenty twenty, So second among all

227
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: catchers in WRC plus and third in OPS while playing

228
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: a strong defensive catcher. That's amazing stuff. And it's not

229
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: gonna be one of the five best catchers in baseball.

230
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: I know that, But in this small sample size, he's

231
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: proven he can get hot, he can handle himself with

232
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: the plate.

233
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: He's kind of the new like a little bit of

234
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: a Luis Giorme thing where you can kind of draw

235
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: a line in the sand as to where he's taken

236
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: that step to the next level. Gillormey was the home

237
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: runs against the Nationals Needo. It was just last year.

238
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: Even though these guys don't have the biggest sample size,

239
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: they have numbers that show you that there is a

240
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: player there somewhere that can be an above average hitter

241
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: or just an above average player in general.

242
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: Definitely, and he has a minor league track record that

243
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: is better than people realize. He won a batting title

244
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: I think in the Eastern League, which I believe is

245
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: Saint Lucy a couple of years ago. There is a

246
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: hit tool there. It exists, and now it seems like

247
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: we've gotten it out, which is amazing.

248
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: No love to see it. He was a huge part

249
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: of the game. The catchers go figure where the big

250
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: guys that game? And then we had a little bit

251
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: of a weird scenario here with Kevin Pilar. Thank goodness,

252
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: he's okay, but took a what ninety eight mile an

253
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: hour fastball off the dome.

254
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: I think it was right here to the bridge. Thank

255
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: god Polar had such a honker because that thing would

256
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: have found an eye.

257
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: I didn't like watching it. When it happened, I was like,

258
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: oh God. And then two. He gets up and he's

259
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: just spurting blood. I mean, you would have thought that

260
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: this guy was in a UFC fight, Like he was

261
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: so bloodied and he just got off the feel like

262
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: it was nothing.

263
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: Dude, I was listening to portion of this game on

264
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 2: the radio. I was in the car. Howie Rose is

265
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: one of like the marquee names in baseball media. He's

266
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: an unbelievable professional through and through, one of my favorite

267
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: announcers I've ever heard, and he was shook at this play.

268
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: I felt queasy. There was an insane amount of blood

269
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: coming from this dude's face.

270
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: I still haven't even seen it. I just saw the

271
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: pictures that went up on Geddy images and is gross.

272
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: Googetti image Kevin Pillar, and you will see like the

273
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: stream of blood popping out of the bridge of his nose. Crazy.

274
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: But luckily he's okay. You know, from an actual health perspective,

275
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be out at least a month. They

276
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: have his face much less. His face is so fucked

277
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: up that they can't even get like X rays or

278
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: take a look at it and know what's really wrong

279
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: for like at least a month or at least a

280
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: couple of weeks because he's so swollen. I mean, the

281
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: press conference, by the way, insane. This dude is a

282
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: bad motherfucker. I feel like that's there's no other way

283
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: to describe him. Apparently he came into the lock or

284
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: the clubhouse the next day and was like, why am

285
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: I not in the lineup? To which that's it. That's

286
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: a psycho person that said, that's nuts. We knew this

287
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: guy was fearless because he dove, you know, headfirst into

288
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: Michael Confordo and he's ran into walls and he just

289
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: he plays the game with no fear whatsoever, reckless, abandoned.

290
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Almost Yeah, like he's just he's nuts. But then in

291
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: the press conference he talked about how he felt bad

292
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: letting his team down. He's like, I've always been a

293
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: guy that you can count on me. I'm gonna be

294
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: there for you. He's like, I don't really, I'm not

295
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: in much pain outside of you know, like my face

296
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: being broken. He's like, I'm just really more upset that

297
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: I can't be there for my team. Like this dude

298
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: is insane. This is great who says.

299
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: This, especially because like high key he got the game

300
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: winning RBI.

301
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: Yes, like that was like almost like the underrated part

302
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: of it was that me's got a run for this,

303
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: Like thanks Kevin, way to use your head guy that.

304
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: Press conference yesterday, and as he's been the dugout these

305
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: last two games, he looks like Rocky at the end

306
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: of Rocky one.

307
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so good. He looks I mean,

308
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: he looks like that lady who owned a chimpanzee and

309
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: was like famous for it, and then it mauled her

310
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: face and she had to get surgery. That's what it

311
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: looked like. Though he looks like he has a prosthetic

312
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: on his face. His nose got ten times bigger. It's

313
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: I feel for the guy. The reason we're like laughing

314
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: about this is because it's okay, I know.

315
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: It's also because he's had a sense of humor about it,

316
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: and he has proven that he's tough as nails and

317
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: just a fucking gamer, he said in that same press conference,

318
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: or maybe it was just to the media, like one

319
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: of the newspaper guys, if I could see out of

320
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: my right eye, I'd be in there today. He texted

321
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: Snicker that because him Snicker have a relationship from far back,

322
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: because Snicker asked him he was okay, imagine that shit.

323
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

324
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: And also he apparently like had a personal like found

325
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: Jacob Webb the next day and was like, dude, I

326
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: gotta talk to you, like it's okay, I'm good. I

327
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: know you didn't do it on purpose. Things happened, like

328
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: give him a lot of words of encouragement, which is

329
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: good because from the brave side, Jacob Webb looked like

330
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: he saw ghosts. He looked mortified, and I felt for

331
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: the guy at.

332
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: Me too, he looked he looked wueasy more than anything else.

333
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: He like he didn't even go into the locker room,

334
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 2: like he sat in the dugout like stone faced, like

335
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: it looked like.

336
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: He was gonna cry. And Ron was even talking about it.

337
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: He said he it happened to him once in summer

338
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: league when he was I think a college player or

339
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: something like that, and that he told the coach, if

340
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: you can try your best not to pitch me the

341
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: rest of summer's, I just can't do it. And that's

342
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: like it's a serious thing. Jacob Web's gonna have to,

343
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: like the next time he steps out on the mound,

344
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be a little scary from him. Because

345
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: when you're throwing with the velocity that he does, and

346
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people a bringing up like

347
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, wildness and that MLB teams are really more

348
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: focused on the velocity now and not necessarily pitching, and

349
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: that's why something like this happened. I don't really think

350
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: that's a fair, you know, shot to take right now. Sure,

351
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: wildness happened, but that was a freak thing that happened

352
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: with Jacob Webb. I'm hoping the best for him as

353
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: well too, because like, mentally, that's got to be super tough.

354
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine hitting someone in the face, seeing that

355
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: blood coming out, and just imagining like, what just happened?

356
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: What did I do?

357
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: Definitely, this is actually also the second time Pilar has

358
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: been hitting the face in his career. Crazy, So this

359
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: is a hurd he's gonna have to Climbnsally, I think

360
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: he'll be okay because he's a psychopath.

361
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: It looks a little tough a his nails, So yeah.

362
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: But it was hard to return to this game after

363
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: it happened. There was like an eerie feeling in the ballpark,

364
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: and even on.

365
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: The broadcast it was very somber.

366
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was somber. Everyone looked shook.

367
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: And weirdly enough, since again he's okay. We had probably

368
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: one of our best tweets ever on the Mets up

369
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Twitter account coming from you. You just threw it out there,

370
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: he said, while you were just kind of bored and

371
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: not really think of it anything, I'm gonna throw this

372
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: out there, posted the picture of him. You're wrong answers only,

373
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: how did Kevin Pallar get injured? And I saw a

374
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: lot of people, like most people, ninety nine people loved it.

375
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: And then there's a couple of people like this is

376
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: so funny, and it said, oh my god, yeah, come

377
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: on have a laugh every once in a while. But

378
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: that tweet, because I don't know if you've seen this,

379
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: stat has almost a million impressions.

380
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: I saw that.

381
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: That is incredible. That is sick. So James, we'll clap

382
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: it up for you there.

383
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. I want to share some of

384
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: my favorite responses I've seen to this tweet because some

385
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: of you guys out there just bew some funny shit.

386
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: One guy Tiger's torquemoil that sucks. Spencer Torkin is a

387
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: hitting but I'm sure he'll be okay. He responded, fell

388
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: in the ditch while being chased by a wild boar.

389
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: That's comedy. That's comedy. Another one, Nick kowhal the Kohala four.

390
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening, Nick, He said McNeil hit him with

391
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: a thrown helmet after a ground out, which that's that's

392
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: kind of funny. That's pretty good. And the best one

393
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: that blew up on the side of this tweet from

394
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: Rabel will say to us, Heal said to us the

395
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: grom was finally fed up with the lack of run support.

396
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: That good.

397
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: That's good ship. Thank so, thank you with all the

398
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: mets up listeners are followers on Twitter for having some

399
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: good responses to this, and it's still popping. So if

400
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: anyone out here hasn't seen the tweet yet, Lole gone

401
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: to the messed up twether, maybe, like our last three

402
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: or four tweets altogether, give this a retweet and give

403
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: us a funny comment maybe quote.

404
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: Tweet it was. It was a great tweet to go

405
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: back to the game. A few more things to talk

406
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: about here. Trevor May came in. Didn't look sharp again

407
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: for what just feels like another performance. Something to keep

408
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: an eye on everybody's velocity seemed up in Atlanta, except

409
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: his his scenes down.

410
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: Again yep, yep, yep. Not a good thing. As a

411
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: guy who relies on his velocity, he seems to be

412
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: better similar to Diaz when he's amped and the last

413
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: few start to seem like he's just had like low

414
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: t the best I can describe it. Since he got

415
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: one hundred K on that YouTube video, he's been resting

416
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: out his Laura's a little bit. I am Trevor May

417
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: since we gave him the Macho met of the month,

418
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: which that was a mistake, I guess.

419
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but even then, like he still hasn't been like bad.

420
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: It's just he has been he's been giving up extra

421
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: Bay sets.

422
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been more though rather than being like explosive,

423
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: which I'm hoping that just a couple of bad days.

424
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: Maybe there's not a big fan of the humidity in Atlanta.

425
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: He'll even out. I can't believe they had him in

426
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: the bullpen tonight to pitch three days in a row.

427
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Couldn't believe it. Glad he didn't go out there like

428
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: even though.

429
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 2: Not really glad because it would have been what happened

430
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: was the worst scenario possible. But we'll get to that.

431
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Diaz came in and even though he had

432
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: a walk, it was like very easy and painless, which

433
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of the new MoMA for Edwin Diaz. He's

434
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: just been good and he continues to be.

435
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 2: Good in safe situations. The guy seems unhittable. He's given

436
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: up every single run this year when he's come in

437
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: when the Mets are either tied, ahead or losing.

438
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: And the Mets end up getting the win. Very very

439
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: strange Game one. Everything said the Mets should lose this game,

440
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: but as we know, under the Steve Cohen era, the

441
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: Mets win them now. And the Mets got Game one,

442
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: which led us into Game two, which was gonna be

443
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: another just huge uphill battle with no starting pitcher.

444
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: Funky adventure.

445
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: Castro started Game two Miguel Cashro, who looks really good

446
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: as an opener. Low key. He was disgusting, disgusting in

447
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: that game. His stuff was electric. I think eleven pitches

448
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: he got out of there with nothing. He was great

449
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: that we got Tommy Torpedo, Tommy Hunter, who I've been

450
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: hyping up for weeks now and he just continues to

451
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: be a beast, and he got his first big lead hit,

452
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: which was probably the most electric play of the game. Yeah,

453
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: especially because one like it was electric from a gameplay

454
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: since because it was ahead of VR and Mays homer

455
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: and a two run homer, which is massive that they

456
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: gave them at an extra run because runs have been

457
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: hard to come by. And he he's dropped so many

458
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: hilarious quotes since he got that hit. One of my

459
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: favorites that he was really happy to get the hit,

460
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: but he wasn't happy to run around the basis. He

461
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: said he was the most he's running years, which is

462
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: pretty funny. And I think he mentioned about how because

463
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: that was his first major league hit. He has a

464
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: kid who was I think five, and that his son

465
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't think he was like a real major league baseball player.

466
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: He's like, you don't have a hit, Like you don't

467
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: have to swing the bat. He's so I got to

468
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: get the hit. And he got to first base, he

469
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: was running like a kid, like flail in his arms

470
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: and he gets there is me. He's like, give me

471
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: that ball. Give the ball. Which it's also funny to

472
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: note that Tommy Hunter has more hits this season than

473
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: Khalil Lee.

474
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: That's whatever similar amount of games.

475
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, great to see him get a first hit, and

476
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: he's also been good on the mound.

477
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: He's just been.

478
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: Really solid, a guy who's got to stay up here

479
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: even when we get you know, the reinforcements back.

480
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe stay up here. We're gonna eventually the Mets

481
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: are gonna have a lot of tough decisions to make

482
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: a picture. But that is absolutely not now.

483
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: No, not now. All hands on deck, everybody's on deck.

484
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: Lindor swinging the bat a little bit better right handed again,

485
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: of course, because it seems like his left hand swing

486
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: is just broken. As we said before we actually started

487
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: recording this, you alluded to it. Left hand swing looks broken,

488
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: but right hand swing, we're definitely seeing the Lindor that

489
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: we expected a little bit more. He's still not great,

490
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: but it's a lot better than what we're thinking or

491
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: that we've been seeing this year.

492
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: At least we're seeing power from the right side, like

493
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: he's still been drawing walks, which is at least like

494
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: a baseline of helping the team. He's not Yasmani Grandal yet,

495
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: but there's there's something like he's fine. The approach is

496
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: still there. He's just maybe not aggressive enough or just

497
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: isn't really finding the ball the way he should. He's

498
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: not really barreling it up like we've seen him in

499
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: the past, but at least from the right hand side,

500
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 2: something's happening.

501
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: And he's been playing fantastic defense still, which he's just

502
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: he's so good at short I love him getting a

503
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: ball up the middle. He's so good.

504
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: I think a big One of the most impressive plays

505
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: he made all year was that sweet, sweet, sweet double

506
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: play in the eighth and something that I texted you

507
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: was one of my favorite innings of baseball that I've

508
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: watched all season long. There was just incredible plays and

509
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: just like real heavy shit happening on both sides of

510
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: the ball. First of all, Rojas left loop in for

511
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 2: his fourth out after pitching a clean seventh to try

512
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: and keep Pablo sand the ball the pinch hitting eight

513
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: four pinch hit home runs on the season on the bench,

514
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: and it worked to a degree. But Ariandrianza had a

515
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 2: little slap double. It wasn't even a double because he

516
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: slapped it down the line. Don made a nice play

517
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: off the wall to get the ball in perfect throw.

518
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: The Lindor and Andreansa just did like the swim move

519
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: like super slide that we see like Tatis and Javier

520
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: Baya's do here and there, and he just evaded the tag,

521
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: which that's impressive as hell. You love to see that.

522
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: One of the better slides I've seen in a game.

523
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Then Ronald Kunya came up and worked a freaking

524
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: crazy at bat to draw a walk. The fact that

525
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: this guy has added elite placed it discipline to his

526
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 2: toolbox is like fucked up and not really that fair, no,

527
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: because we're gonna have to deal with him for the

528
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: next the rest of our lives. It feels like whatever

529
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 2: free basically for the Breeves exactly. So then now there

530
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 2: was first and second nobody out with it like a

531
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: dribbler ground ball just to the right of the second

532
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: base bag. Francisco Lindor in this shift, charged the ball hard,

533
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: ran against his momentum to tag Akunya out, who runs

534
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: very well coming a second, and then slung it back,

535
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: dropped the arm slot and still got Freddy Freeman the

536
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: doll play at first freaking amazing, felt like just for

537
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: a second, we were gonna get out of this damn inning.

538
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: But god damn, Marcelo Zuna broke my heart. The next

539
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: like felt like the two or three pitches later with

540
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: a little Donk single to drive in the run.

541
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: Off Familia, who was in at the time. Familia has

542
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: not really given up many hard hits this year. He

543
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: has just been the king of broken bat singles. Did

544
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: it again to Marcelo zu and I what I think

545
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: I think, I texted you Familia is has been simply

546
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: too good where he only gives up bad hits.

547
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: Literally, it's literally what he is. Like, no one is

548
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: hitting the ball hard off this guy right now, but

549
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: sometimes just baseball. I literally text you that's just baseball

550
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: right after.

551
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: That, And that's like almost the you know, the good

552
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: and evil or I don't even know what to call it,

553
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: like the good and bad part of Jerry's Familia is

554
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: that he's so good, but like this sinker does play

555
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: to contact more than it does like a swing and miss,

556
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: and sometimes he's just like gonna break bats that they're

557
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: gonna find holes. So it's like in your head, you go, oh, man,

558
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: like Jerry Simili gives up another hit, but really he's

559
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: doing his job. He's just getting unlucky.

560
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: But luckily for the Mets we have Thomas Babe Ruth Niedo,

561
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: who came up the next inning and just sent us

562
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: back into the lead with a knooker.

563
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Thomas Nido, Baby, this guy is unbelievable. Bench Mob has

564
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: been unbelievable.

565
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: Hinging the bench Mob, the Don of the bench Mob.

566
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: He is the Don one hundred percent and mess up listeners.

567
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna have some bench Mob merch coming out hopefully

568
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: in the next few days. Here I'm trying to figure

569
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: out a website that will do on demand printing. Keep

570
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: an eye out for it. Godfather bench Mob Merch. Check

571
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: it out.

572
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: It's in the lead shirt. It's unbelievable.

573
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, back to Tomas Nito.

574
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: Gotta get the guy some more at bets got so.

575
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: Good Nido king the Pokemon, He's our guy. And then

576
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: Diaz comes in and he's shut down again.

577
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: Dude, shut down again. Diaz was lights out of a safe situation.

578
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: We knew that, but everyone the bullpen really really impressed me. Yesterday.

579
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: There was a long line of relievers pitching this game

580
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: in a bullpen day. Castro to Hunter, to Gazellman to May,

581
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 2: to Loop the familiate, the Diaz. That's a long line.

582
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 2: They shut the door every single person did their job.

583
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: And this feels like that. If that's a line that

584
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: you see, you know before the season, you go, the

585
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: Mets are gonna have to throw Castro, Hunter, Gaselman, Loop Familia.

586
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: If those five guys come in the game, you go,

587
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: how much are we down by? And the Mets. The

588
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: Mets won that game. The bullpen has been arguably the

589
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: MVP of the season this year. They've been so good.

590
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely has.

591
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: And then Game three we got what I like to

592
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: call the Syracuse Mets versus the Atlanta Braves. Because Pete

593
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: Alonzo was not in the lineup, No ended up being scratched,

594
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: well not really scratched, I guess, but there might be

595
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: an injury with Pete Alonzo. And there was something on

596
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Twitter about it that they thought he was going to

597
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: possibly hit the IL or that was a rumor. He

598
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: didn't hit the IL, but that was earlier in the week.

599
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: But after the game, Luis Rojas said he was not

600
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: available because there was pinchhit of situations that he could

601
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: have came up in. Never did say he's not available.

602
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Soreness in his left wrist. We'll reassess. On Friday. X

603
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: ray was negative, stemming from when he got hit in

604
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: Saint Louis two weeks ago. So this, you know, makes

605
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: you think because Pete's been playing terribly recently, the worst

606
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: had to have been bothering him since he got hit.

607
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: I can totally see in his head that he was like,

608
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: I gotta play in Tampa. It's my hometown. He wasn't

609
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna say as soon as he got out of Tampa,

610
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: he's like, guys by versus killing me. Please please.

611
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: He was definitely doing the math. Like once he like

612
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: went three days after he actually got hurt, and it

613
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: was like, oh crap, if I go on the ail now,

614
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be eligible to come off until that Sunday.

615
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: They probably won't even take me off until that Monday.

616
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: I can't do that. I gotta play in Tampa.

617
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I can totally see Pete doing that. So

618
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: the lineup was weak going into it, and again it

619
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: was just it's gonna be an uphill battle. Peterson on

620
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: the mound has been good, has been bad, has been terrible,

621
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: has been solid. He is very very shaky this year

622
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: and he had another shaky start.

623
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: Shaky. Yeah, But like the weird thing about Peterson is

624
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: just like he's cruising and then he isn't And it

625
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: happens basically every single start. We don't know why it's

626
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: gonna happen. At some point every single start he just

627
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 2: falls apart. He's not a stopper. You can't expect him

628
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: to be at this point in his career. He's still

629
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 2: learning how to pitch. There's gonna be very few instances

630
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 2: where he's gonna be able to with this team on

631
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: his back.

632
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: Sure he did that last.

633
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: Week in Tampa Bay, but that's not something we can

634
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: rely on. I thought a switch may have been flipping

635
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: with David Peterson when I saw him really level in

636
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: those four seam fastballs last week, and I thought that

637
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: was kind of happening again today for a few winnings.

638
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: But he went very much back to the sinker. He

639
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: kind of threw away his slider, which was the money

640
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: pitch last Friday night. I don't understand why that happened,

641
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: but I don't know. We threw more change ups than

642
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: the slider. So the first time in a couple of

643
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: weeks like that doesn't seem like the recipe for success

644
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 2: for Peterson.

645
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: Early in the game, too, I noted that I loved

646
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: that he was coming inside, especially the right handed batters.

647
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: And I think for a guy like David Peterson, who

648
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: could become very predictable at times because especially righties, he's

649
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: just outside outside outside. I mean, he was making Ronda

650
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: Kunia look uncomfortable. He was making mar Solo's gonna look uncomfortable.

651
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: And that's because he was able to come inside with

652
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: that four seam or even the sinker a few times.

653
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: That's a pitch he has to go to. And when

654
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 1: he got in trouble, he's because he completely abandoned it.

655
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: He just stopped throwing inside. Right handed batters going outside,

656
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: and Austin Riley takes it to right field hits a

657
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: home run, just the little I don't even want to say,

658
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: like adjustments, but he made it too easy for the hitters.

659
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: You knew where it was going.

660
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: I think the thing that happens to Peterson is that

661
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: he kind of has his plan of attack, and he's

662
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: very comfortable when he's working inside of his plan. But

663
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't take very much to like shoot him off.

664
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 2: And you can see him on the round stops around

665
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: he makes faces, The body language starts to go much

666
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: quicker than you'd like it from a guy who's a

667
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: part of this rotation and a pretty central piece to

668
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: what the mess they're trying to do, at least this month.

669
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: For a guy who's still learning how to pitch, he

670
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 2: needs to just stay on schedule, and he loses it.

671
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 2: Sometimes he struggles to regain it.

672
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also tough when you're that big too, to

673
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: like just constantly be you know, like keeping your mechanics

674
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: same for someone as big as him, and he's a

675
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: little bit I don't want to say he's herd hey jerky,

676
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of moving parts there. The dude

677
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: is not a smooth pitcher by any means.

678
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: No, No, When you're not a smooth pitcher and you're

679
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 2: like six' five whatever you are, it's just hard to

680
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: repeat those mechanics.

681
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: It is.

682
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 2: The one positive to take from Peterson tonight is that

683
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: he threw the hardest pitch of his career ninety five

684
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: point five miles an hour. That's cool. That's something nos

685
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: actually sinker weird, We're very weird. It could have just

686
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 2: been mismarked on Savant. That happens. The pitches are generally similar,

687
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: especially because Peterson's four seemer almost acts like a two

688
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: seamer because it has like the opposite arm side run

689
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: like it will kind of shoot out to right handed bathers,

690
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: which even makes it harder to throw inside. He really

691
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: needs to locate that even more in than the guy's hands,

692
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: like to actually either find that pitch and not leave

693
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: over middle of the plate, which is why I understand

694
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: why sometimes he doesn't want to stay inside to write these.

695
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: But like once he gets his balls and he learns

696
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: how to pitch and he can locate that there, it'll

697
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: be a piece but hardest pitch of his career. Hang

698
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 2: your hat on that. It was okay, and our boy

699
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: Drew Flow came in and got some clutch outs following Peterson,

700
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: which was nice.

701
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: Love some Drew Smith. That kid is a pitcher, and

702
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate because he's probably gonna be one of the

703
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: guys who just you know, hits the chopping block first

704
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: strictly because he has options. Yeah, but when he's on,

705
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: he's got a spot on this team. He's shown us

706
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: every single time he's come out this year that he

707
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: is legit.

708
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: Oh very legit. Got eight wess on thirteen swings to night.

709
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: That's lights out stuff. Fastball color that's quickly becoming our guy.

710
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Love Drew Smith. I want to see him use more.

711
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: And he was great again tonight. Also got to talk

712
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: about bench Mob again because it was very much a

713
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: bench mob game. Jonathan VR with a absolute nuke of

714
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: a home run. Watched it crushed at four hundred and

715
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: thirty one feet one hundred and seven point nine miles

716
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: per hour off the bat. That dude is locked in.

717
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not gonna get three or four hits every game,

718
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: but if he drops a home run for us when

719
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: we need it like he has been, I can't complain.

720
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: And Jonathan VR has been really really big for us

721
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: this year.

722
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: Jonathan VR has been a central performer to this Mets season,

723
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: the fact that the Mets are in first place. I

724
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 2: just said, Jonathan VR has been like one of the

725
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: He's like one of the main characters of the Mets

726
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: right now, like if there was a movie about the Mets.

727
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: VR has tons of screen time, Like he is one

728
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: of the guys who've been highlighted. Another guy who has

729
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: made an incredible impression these last few weeks. Paraza. That

730
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: was a very clutch double that changed the entire tone

731
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: of the late innings of this game that made me

732
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: feel like the Mets actually had a shot. His double

733
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: in I think it was the seventh off of aj

734
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: Minter was the hardest hit ball by any met all night,

735
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: even harder than VR's home runner one hundred eight point

736
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 2: three miles an hour off.

737
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: The bad smoked, that's smoked. The thing that was crazy

738
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: about that at bout with Praza too is aj Minter

739
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: made the error to Dom Smith, which was an he

740
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: tried to do an insane play for some reason. He

741
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: made it way harder than need to be. He had

742
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: the laying on the inside of the bag. He's like,

743
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it behind him. Weird, not the point

744
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: he made the error got back on the mound. Aj

745
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: Minter is a guy who's struggled with control in the past.

746
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: He's a bit of a little bit of a head

747
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: case where he just he loses control and he loses it.

748
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: And we saw it happening to Paraza and to the

749
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: who is the guy who hit before Praza. I don't

750
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: even remember who was up, whatever it was, but Paraza

751
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: three to oh and the pitches weren't even close and

752
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: Praza swung on what three to one, I think or

753
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: three to oh. He was aggressive and that's what got

754
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: the double kind of he caught aj Minterer's sleep and

755
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: thinking that he can just throw one over there, get it,

756
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: get me over strike. Praza pounced on it.

757
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: We've seen enough of AJ Minter at this point in

758
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: our lives as met fans that I am relieved to

759
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: see him come into a game.

760
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: Lovey.

761
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: The guy is not anything special by any means at

762
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: this point in his career. He's just part of that

763
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: Braves constituency. That's just what the freak is going on

764
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: right now.

765
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only guy that really looks good in that

766
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: pen like consists. I guess there's two guys. Chris Martin

767
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: always looks pretty solid. I like Chris Martin a lot,

768
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: and Will Smith. I've always been a Will Smith guy.

769
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Outside those two guys, this Brave's bullpen is a mess.

770
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: It's very very hitable, very hittable, and that's gonna be

771
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: something that continues all season. I said that in our

772
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 2: preseason preview the Braves have exactly two good relievers, those

773
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: two guys who just named, and I don't know if

774
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: there's any more waiting in the wings unless Tuki Tusan

775
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: remembers how to be dominant, which could happen. Wait, I'm

776
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: still waiting for it.

777
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: He does it against the Mets every year, so I'm

778
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: sure he'll figure it out at some point. But this

779
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: Brave seems very beatable. That's all we know. Cashro came

780
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: in in the seventh, right seventh at whatever enning was.

781
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: He came in a little bit later, was sick. He

782
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: got really really lucky because Khalil Lee making another insane

783
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: catch out in rightfield. If the kid's not gonna hit,

784
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: he's not ready to be a major league player. I

785
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: think that's very obvious. At the Scotty report on him

786
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: was that he swings and misses a ton, and we've

787
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: seen that. It's he struck out in every single bat

788
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: so far this season that he's played. But in the

789
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: field he has been fantastic. And I don't know if

790
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: you noticed, but even on his throes in he has

791
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: a stupid good arm. He was making these throws like

792
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: just kind of like log pop a minute. It was

793
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: on a line. I was if he can hit, could

794
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: be special.

795
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: He's showing it off. I think it's a fun consolation

796
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: prize to having Khalil Lee and Joan Shui Fargas in

797
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: the outfield is that the guys are just incredible defenders,

798
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: Like this is the best mess defensive outfield we've seen

799
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: the long ass time, which is kind of funny. It's

800
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: ironic because neither of them are going to really do

801
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: anything at the plate. Fargus did have the bass hit

802
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: and the stolen bass yesterday, which was cool. But just

803
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: let these guys keep making plays. Clearly made two at

804
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: the time game saving catches in this series.

805
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: Yes, maybe, and he's been huge for us. Was a

806
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: big part of Cashro hitting. Cashro then also got one

807
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: roped up the middle that just happened to find his

808
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: glove pop up out of it at Ronkuni at second

809
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: and then we're out of the inning. We're good. So Cashro,

810
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: as you said, you know, just continues to be a beast.

811
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: He's great, dude. He's just transformed into like a g

812
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: in front of our eyes like Jeremy Hefner sprinkles the

813
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: little fairy dust on him and now he's an elite reliever.

814
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: It's so beautiful that we can just have those things

815
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: happen for us now.

816
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: And then we got to talk about you know your

817
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: boy again Thomas Ndo did it again. He did it again.

818
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: He comes up in a pinch hit scenario and gets

819
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: a little blooper that drops in for two runs and

820
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: the Mets take the lead.

821
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: When you're hot, you're hot. I think that's all that

822
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: Neo a bad show. That's like, you're just gonna be

823
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: able to find the hont Yeah.

824
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: I jumped out out of my seat. I was like,

825
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: let's go there he is. He did it again. That

826
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: was huge. We then came into the eighth with Aaron

827
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: Loop starting the inning, which the Mets bullpen. There was

828
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: nobody left. It was either Loop or Jacob Barnes. So,

829
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, people want to criticize Rojas for going loop

830
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: against three straight righties, whatever you want to say it is.

831
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: You can't give Rojas any crap for that move now,

832
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: because if you put in Jacob Barnes there, Jacob Barnes

833
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: is probably doing something similar and you're gonna be like, well,

834
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: why isn't Loop in? So enough of the you know,

835
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterback here with Luis Rojas in a game

836
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: where they had no business being in it, and they

837
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: were Loop struggled, gave up a run the face. Three

838
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: batters gave up three hits, but then Barnes came in

839
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: and Barnes stepped up big as well as mccahn stepped

840
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: up big two for us.

841
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah big that that throw at their base, that was

842
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: a heads up play. I think Dancey Sponson went signless.

843
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: Which is crazy, by the way, insanely bad decision.

844
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: To double steal was first and second. Not clue into

845
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: the guy in first to take second while you're doing it.

846
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: That's just simply bad baseball. He looked like kind of

847
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: a fuddled and I just want to point out that

848
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: this Brave's coaching staff, it's a fucking brain trust. Yeah,

849
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: that's like a milange of like old school baseball guys,

850
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: just old men galore. In that bullpen in the during

851
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: Mintor's blow up, the pitching coach came out and what

852
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: didn't seem like he was coaching, more like he was

853
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: like scolding aj Minter. And then even when they panned

854
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: back to the Braves dug out later in the ending

855
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: of the guy was like, oh my god, come on

856
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: this guy.

857
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ron was like, oh he did. He's like a

858
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: lot of colorful language in the Mountain visit like there

859
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: was a lot of f bombs being dropped. I kind

860
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: of like, I love the Braves coaching staff. I think

861
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: they're awesome, Like snicker Ron Washington, I don't uh Rick Kranitz, like,

862
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: these are all, like you said, old school baseball guys

863
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: who are like, no nonsense, no bullshit. But they have

864
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: their players backs to which we've seen for some old

865
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: ass guys in Major League Baseball recently. They don't care

866
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: about players on their team. Just a couple, just a couple.

867
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: But the Braves coaches is that fantastic. They would have

868
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: never told him to steal there. It was left to

869
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: batter up. Mccannon has a hose and Dansby Swanson scores

870
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: on a hit from second no matter what. It was

871
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: crazy the.

872
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: Fact that they were trying to bunt. That's like a

873
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: strategy that doesn't very closely align with trying to steal third.

874
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: It was just vexing. It seemed to battle us out

875
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 2: for a second. I thought for a second we were

876
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: gonna get off Scott free, especially when I don't know

877
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: if this was the next inning or the inning before

878
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: all this happened. The Cameron Maybin dropped third strike got

879
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: to first, base ninth inning. Yeah, that was the top

880
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: of the ninth inning. After we hoodinied out of the eighth,

881
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 2: Cameron Mayben got on with a drop third strike which

882
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 2: was barely even dropped. He thought the catcher caught it.

883
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: I did too, and William contraras like nicked it off

884
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: of his knee.

885
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: Just got a look. He actually did a great job

886
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: blocking it. He just his knee was a little clunky. Dude.

887
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: If there's a thirty five and over division for like

888
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: track and field, Cameron Maben should enter because that guy

889
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: can still fly. He got down the base path easily,

890
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: like he runs like a gazelle. He just has these big,

891
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: long legs with huge strides. He glides down the base. Pa.

892
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: He was even just after tonight stolen base of second

893
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: and taking third in the wild pitch. He is already

894
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: worth a dollar and then some.

895
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is what he was traded for. In case

896
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: you guys didn't know. Apparently Cameron maybeen traded for a

897
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: dollar twitch. What are the Chicago Cubs doing at least

898
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: asked for something. I'm confused by that.

899
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: I think that they got the ability to not pay

900
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: the rest of his semi guaranteed salary and they were

901
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: cool with that. Yeah, Tom Ricketts's poor. Any couple hundred

902
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 2: thousand dollars the guy can get makes a big difference

903
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: in the bottom line.

904
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: Cameron Maybin literally stole every base at it except home.

905
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: Think about that.

906
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: I was hoping he would try and steal home because

907
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: that bat by James mccam was so disappointing. He had

908
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: a real chance.

909
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: He had a good at bat too. He was off

910
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: and Ron was talking about he like there was a

911
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: couple of pitchers pitches there that you had to swing at.

912
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 2: Was fastball. He really got a good piece on that.

913
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: I really kept himself alive. Fuck, just hit a fly ball, man.

914
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: That ball was a hang or two. That was a pitch,

915
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: and he just lunged, just lunged a little bit too aggressive,

916
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: a little two out in front and just like to

917
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: the infield. That was almost the worst thing happened. Almost.

918
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 2: It's pretty terrible. Yeah, as bad as it really could

919
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: have been. And then Peaza just couldn't couldn't get it done.

920
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: The next that bet which it happens, I mean, it happens.

921
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: He's another little blooper the third which whatever and fields in.

922
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: That's a hit but the nfield's not in of course.

923
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: And then I texted this to you, like immediately when

924
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: it happened. I said, Ronald cun your home run lock

925
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 2: and second, first bitch of that bat Jacob Barnes loves

926
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: throwing first.

927
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: Pitch of meatballs just whoosh god, which you know, as

928
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: you said, started the episode bittersweet because it would have

929
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: been great to win that game, because we really we

930
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: stole the first two games, but we really would have

931
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: robbed the Braves blind if he swept this series. They

932
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: would have gotten left with their pants down and be

933
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: like what just happened? Like we did not deserve to

934
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: win that game at all. We played in in we

935
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,959
Speaker 1: played an inferior game.

936
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: I would argue wen't deserve to win any of these games.

937
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: We showed that we walked into Atlanta with a triple

938
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: A team and just found ways, which the hallmark of

939
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: a good team.

940
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: And I think we have to give a lot of

941
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: credit to Luis Rojas, who we've all been very critical of.

942
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: But Luis Rojas deserves a lot of credit. This is

943
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: a guy who myself, James, even people, every single Mets

944
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: fan I think has been very critical on him, had

945
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: a really short. Leash has been saying he's on the

946
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: hot SS even though that's crazy, you know, sixty seventy

947
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: games into a managerial tenure. He did a fantastic job

948
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: this weekend. And I think it's very funny that Rojas

949
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: was praised for how great of a manager he was

950
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: in the minors and he finally gets like a minor

951
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: league team to manage at the major league level and

952
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: he has probably the best series of his life. Even

953
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: though the Medsicine sweep. The fact that they got one win,

954
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: let alone two from the Braves with this roster, I

955
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: gotta give a lot of credit to Louis Rojas. He

956
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: did a fantastic job. I'd love to see this Louis

957
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: Rojas a little bit more. He seemed very hands on,

958
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: he seemed very into the game. He like even pulling

959
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: Loop in the eighth inning for Barnes. He had Barnes

960
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: ready to go. We haven't seen Louis Ross do that

961
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: all year. It seemed like something clicked in the series

962
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: where he was like, you know what I'm gonna manage.

963
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna finally step up and do it.

964
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: Dude. Definitely, Ross might not be as good with the

965
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 2: things we see on the surface, like drawing up a

966
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 2: lineup card or making the pitching changes, which is a

967
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: big deal for a manager. It seems like he is

968
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 2: becoming a leader of men, and probably not becoming because

969
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 2: he's been an actual manager for a very long time

970
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 2: in the Dominican League and the minor leagues. But these

971
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: guys like going out and playing for him, it seems,

972
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 2: and he as little emotion as he seems to show.

973
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: He's riding the umpires, he's talking to other guys on

974
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: the bench. He is doing a very good job of

975
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: controlling this locker room and this clubhouse every single day,

976
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 2: and that's been so important on this run the Mets

977
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: are have as they're digging deep, I.

978
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: Think it's probably safe to say this is the first

979
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: time it looked like Louis Rojas was comfortable being the

980
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: New York Mets manager, which is weird because anybody else,

981
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: I think would have been extremely uncomfortable. But he looked

982
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: like he was in control, looked like he was in charge.

983
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: That's Louis rohass. We've been waiting to see managers don't

984
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: make or break teams and win games or anything like that.

985
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: But Luis Rojas is like the steady nature that he's

986
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: had really paid off in a series where the Mets

987
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: could have been completely lost.

988
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: No, definitely, one hundred thousand percent. And I think that's

989
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: a good time now to transition to our series preview

990
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 2: with the Marlins coming up this weekend after an off day.

991
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: Whenever you guys listening to this on Thursday, maybe.

992
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: Give me the probable starters for all the time?

993
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: Oh, you want to know the probable start. There's the

994
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: fun thing about this series is we don't have anyr

995
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 2: probable starters except Friday because the Mets rotation and the

996
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: Marls rotation are both all together fucked.

997
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: Yes, we got nothing.

998
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: Thank god. We're gonna be missing Trevor Rodgers my goat

999
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 2: this weekend series, luckily. But the Marlins have Pablo Lopez

1000
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: schedule for Friday. The Mets have Stroman schedule for Friday,

1001
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: at least they said so on the broadcast tonight. ESPN

1002
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: has them for Saturday, and otherwise neither team has a

1003
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 2: scheduled start they're announced yet, which is.

1004
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: Just a little bit scary, but that's kind of how

1005
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: the Mets are going to roll. We've got fourteen guys

1006
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: on the il that are Major League Baseball players. It's

1007
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of a shit show this weekend.

1008
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: But luckily we run into the Marlins, who are not

1009
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: much of a team, as we've said all year long,

1010
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: and that's no disrespect to them. They're better than what

1011
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: they're not like a bottom feeder anymore. They're not this

1012
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: team that you run roll over nice and easy. They're

1013
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: gonna compete. Yeah, they'd work the Tigers, but yeah, but

1014
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: if they If there was ever a team to face

1015
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: when you're depleted and hurt in the National League eest,

1016
00:39:59,280 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: it's gotta be.

1017
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: The Marlin definitely. And Pablo Lopez has kind of been

1018
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: a jeckling high against the Mets in his career. He's

1019
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: had some awful starts, he's also had some incredible starts,

1020
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 2: and he's a pretty reliable starting pitcher at this point.

1021
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be a fun game on Friday night

1022
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 2: to see both the two unheralded best starting pitchers in

1023
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: each staff. Those two guys kind of mirror each other,

1024
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: I feel like in a respect standpoint, like the way

1025
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: they're viewed by like the national media, like fantasy baseball owners.

1026
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: They both have it but they also kind of don't,

1027
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 2: so it'd be a fun to see nice pitchers duel.

1028
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 2: And then it's just gonna be chaos Saurday and Sunday.

1029
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna see a lot of bullpen innings from

1030
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: both teams. And it is going to be just like

1031
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: this series was a little tight. It's gonna be a

1032
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: lot of like ups and downs of a roller coast

1033
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: if you're watching the win probability charts, I'm expecting a

1034
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of dips and flows. You know,

1035
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be all over the place.

1036
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 2: Yea quickly, my marlin to watch this series is gonna

1037
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: be mister Cody Poteit or Cody pot Tite and not

1038
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: sure how to announce his name.

1039
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: Ye hell is this guy? Who'd I thought you were

1040
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: going Jazz? For sure you pulled Cody pot Titan, I know,

1041
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: Jazz Jazz quickly becoming one of the most likable famous

1042
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: players in Major League Baseball, especially after that home run

1043
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: he had of Josey Alva r the rat. Fuck that rat,

1044
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: fuck love that love that turned around one hundred mile

1045
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: an hour fastball. Ryan is fucking red j Jose Alvarado, Yeah, go.

1046
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 2: Go Fich again against the Phillies, but Kody Poteit has

1047
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: made two spot stars for the Marlins the last two

1048
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 2: weeks as they have struggled to find starting pitchers. I'm

1049
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: sure he's gonna pitch the series either Saturday or Sunday,

1050
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: but nothing's official yet, which makes me think maybe you

1051
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: gotta send it down. But I think he's gonna pitch.

1052
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: Very good strike out numbers in the minor leagues, pretty good

1053
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: strike out numbers his first two games. Doesn't really have

1054
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: overpowering stuff, but the guy seems to be good in

1055
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: advance for his agent level. He's gonna be a guy

1056
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 2: the washing. He's gonna be probably pretty annoying to watch

1057
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: the Mets not get hits off of this weekend.

1058
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully the Mets continue to play this scrappy baseball.

1059
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't think anything is really gonna change. We're gonna

1060
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: see very few hits a game unless Lin d'Or or

1061
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: dom or these guys really start to heat up. You

1062
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: just can't expect Joe Esqui, Fargas, Khalil Lee, Jake Hager,

1063
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: the names that we're thrown out here to carry this

1064
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: offense by any means.

1065
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: No he's a joke.

1066
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough series. But again, this Mets team,

1067
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: you took two or three from the Braves. The Braves

1068
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: are on paper right now, just a better team, you know,

1069
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: some the players that are on there. With this bullpen,

1070
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: we have a shot as soon as we get runs

1071
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 1: on the board. If we can keep it close. That's

1072
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: all we need to do with this bullpen. And then

1073
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: want to do a little farm report here because it's

1074
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: interesting to note that Thomas Sapuki, who's a guy that

1075
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: you love a little bit. You're like him, I love him.

1076
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: You're intrigued by Thomas Sopuki. He's not one of your guys.

1077
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 2: Let him take me out for dinner first before I

1078
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 2: love the guys.

1079
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. But he skipped his triple A start,

1080
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: so maybe he's gonna be coming up this weekend. There

1081
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: was rumors that he was going to come up for

1082
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: this series, and then I don't think he did ever,

1083
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 1: so not really sure.

1084
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 2: He also has n't pitched in like I think eight

1085
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: days now and Syracuse had a bit of a COVID outbreak,

1086
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 2: So he's either gonna be pitching with the Mets on

1087
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: Saturday or Sunday or he's off the raid that we're

1088
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: gonna need a picture very very badly.

1089
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: And I think Yama Moto through two today, so that's

1090
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: like almost like a bullpen in between. If he has

1091
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 1: to make an appearance, which he might as well against

1092
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: his former team in Miami. Some bad news of the

1093
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: Miners hate to do it guys with pc A. P

1094
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: Crow Armstrong, our first round pick from the twenty twenty

1095
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: draft out for the season, got surgery on his laborum.

1096
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: I believe towards Labram he's gonna end up being fine,

1097
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: but it's just annoying because that's another year of development

1098
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: and growth that we have to delay.

1099
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: Definitely, this guy seemed like he was going to be

1100
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: on the fast track. Has a very pro advanced hit

1101
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: tool for his age and his like the fact that

1102
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: he's like literally just came out of high school. This

1103
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: is the same injury that took Miguel and Dujar about

1104
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 2: two years to recover from before he got power back,

1105
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 2: Which sucks because PCA's power was the number one aspect

1106
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: of his development that could have taken him from like

1107
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 2: borderline top hundred guye to like pushing like mega prospect

1108
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: level so this.

1109
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: Sucks, but in good news, the rest of the Mets

1110
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: prospects that we should be worrying about are all doing

1111
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: really well. Francisco Alvarez continues to rake at an insane

1112
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: rate fifteen for thirty three this season, which I put

1113
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: lol because that's laugh out loud funny. How good he

1114
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: is at the plate. You have been hyping him up

1115
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: all year. Possibly a top ten prospect maybe by the

1116
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: mid season.

1117
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: That's my ball predictions that either whether it be Baseball

1118
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 2: America Keith law Fangrass LB pipeline, you're gonna see people

1119
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: putting Francisco Alvrez in the top ten to mid season

1120
00:43:58,960 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 2: report once we get a few.

1121
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: More Yeah, he's been mashing Ronnie Mauricio, this is really big.

1122
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: The power continues to be there for Ronnie. Four home runs,

1123
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: five doubles in eleven games, nine extra base hits, and

1124
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: this is a guy who had had trouble hitting home runs.

1125
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: We saw him fill into his body a little bit

1126
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: more of this spring, and it looks like the power's coming,

1127
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: which is what everyone's been waiting for.

1128
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely his last professional season twenty nineteen, it took him

1129
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 2: four hundred and seventy at best to hit four home runs,

1130
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: and he has that in nine games now less than

1131
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 2: fifty at bets.

1132
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: Love to see that, absolutely love to see that.

1133
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 2: And another big thing about Mariso's development is he's gotten

1134
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 2: better than expected reviews in the field at shortstop.

1135
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: Which is great because there was thoughts that maybe he'd

1136
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: become a third baseman and or corner outfielder because he's

1137
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: athletic enough where he's not like a first base guy.

1138
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: But he just wasn't like Agile, I guess you should

1139
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: say at shortstop, where it's like he didn't have the

1140
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: best range and all that kind of stuff. But he's

1141
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: looking good. Happy to see it. That's another guy who's

1142
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna be flying up the list, especially with this power.

1143
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: Definitely Brett Batty another top prospect, a guy first round

1144
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: pick in twenty nineteen.

1145
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: Oldes High school around the history of the country.

1146
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like thirty five, I think, but he is

1147
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: mat at you know, high a ball hitting four twenty

1148
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: five no home runs, But that's okay. This is a

1149
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: guy who's hitting doubles all over the place. He has

1150
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: a good approach at the plate. Looks like he could

1151
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a player here. Love to

1152
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: see that.

1153
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 2: All three of these guys might start moving through the

1154
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 2: system very quickly. I think that we could have a

1155
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 2: Brett Baby sithing in Queens this year, as crazy as

1156
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 2: that sounds.

1157
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: With all the injuries, you never know, you really at

1158
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: this point.

1159
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And because he's early in his forties, so like

1160
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: we have to get him up anyway.

1161
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:24,959
Speaker 1: We got to get some years out of him before

1162
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: he's too late. But other news around the miners, Mark

1163
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: Vientos not looking great, striking out a lot, but he's

1164
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: always he's always been a high strikeout guy in the miners.

1165
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: This is way more yes, like he's been twenty five percent,

1166
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: he's at forty now bad. And then Sam McWilliams, who's

1167
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: an arm that we were hoping to see at some

1168
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: point this year. Yeah, kind of pumped the brakes here,

1169
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of a little hesitant. Eight walks nine k's through

1170
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: six innings, so you see that the ceiling there you

1171
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: go nine k's and six innings is really good. But

1172
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: then you also see the floor and you go eight wals.

1173
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 2: That's concerning definitely, And I think with like the electric

1174
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 2: arm that he has, we probably would have seen him

1175
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 2: in Quans already if the Mets were impressed by him

1176
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: in spring training and then like just earlier on the

1177
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: minor league season. So the fact that he is down

1178
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 2: means he does have some stuff to work on. But again,

1179
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: now we have Jeremy Hefner, one of the best pitching

1180
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 2: coaches in baseball. Get the little Ferry dusk you rickle it,

1181
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 2: sprinkle some of that on there and we'll see McWilliams

1182
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: probably iron this out soon enough. So quickly before we go,

1183
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: I have two Mets prospects I want everyone to pay

1184
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 2: attention to, very quickly, to the little deep dive in

1185
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: the system over now that we've had some games being played.

1186
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: One Mets prospect I love is Junior Santo's right handed pitcher.

1187
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 2: He's playing in single A ball right now and nineteen

1188
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: years old. He was actually playing rookie ball back in

1189
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen at just seventeen years old. You never see that, yeah,

1190
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 2: very young. It's also interesting because the guy is six

1191
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 2: foot eight, oh my god, and his frame still hasn't

1192
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 2: filled out yet as a nineteen year old, but he

1193
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 2: already has a feel for a curveball and a change up.

1194
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: So when that frame fills out at that like, like

1195
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: just that extension, he will be reaching the upper at

1196
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: least the mid nineties. One day it looked like upper

1197
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 2: nineties because how close he's going to get into the

1198
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: plate that massive stride early has nine strike as a

1199
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 2: seven innings pitch this year. The guy's gonna is holding

1200
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: his own, playing well above his level. And he's a

1201
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 2: guy who could start. You're really gonna hear his name,

1202
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 2: So pay attention to Junior Santos down there in a ball.

1203
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: Another guy I want to touch on very quickly. This guy,

1204
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: this is out of the blue. I learned about this

1205
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: guy a few days ago and I am impressed. And

1206
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: someone named Alexander Ramirez and this is not to be

1207
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: confused with another guy in the Angel system of the

1208
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 2: exact same age, also named Alexander Ramirez, which is just

1209
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 2: funny as hell because he always like the exact same

1210
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 2: physical tools where he's just like a slender, big eighteen

1211
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 2: year old with like broad shoulders and shows a good

1212
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: ability for power at this point in ISAAI in his development,

1213
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: one scout said he has a double plus arm, which

1214
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 2: you never hear that term. That's big time. The guy

1215
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: just runs like gazelle a six and a half second

1216
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: sixty yard dash, which so fast that sounds elite. I

1217
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: don't know any other guy's sixty yard dash numbers in

1218
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 2: the minor leagues, but I like that one, especially as

1219
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 2: an eighteen year old. And he's early shown some power

1220
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: at the Alternate Site or the Extended Spring Training, whatever

1221
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: they call it. He still hasn't gone into rookie ball yet,

1222
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 2: but you will see him there later this summer. And

1223
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: he's the third highest international signing bones the Mets have

1224
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: ever given out besides Mauricio and Alfarez. So the way

1225
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 2: those two guys have hit, it seems like Alexander Ramirez

1226
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: is a Mets prospect to watch moving forward.

1227
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: Definitely, lots of good stuff going on the miners, lots

1228
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: of good stuff going on the majors, despite being battered

1229
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: and bruised. The replacements I think they've been called bench Mob.

1230
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: There's all different sort of nicknames and all great T

1231
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: shirts that are eventually going to come out at some

1232
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: point over here. We'll figure it out sooner or later.

1233
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: Bench Bomb won soon though, that one is absolute five.

1234
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna want to get that incredible.

1235
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: But episode number sixteen, I can't believe it but it's

1236
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: a positive one. The Mets went in there with a

1237
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: ragtag group of guys and we beat the Braves, almost

1238
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: swept them. Can't complain at all. I'm happy.

1239
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, man. The Mets season seemed like could

1240
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 2: have come apart. The seems a little bit last time

1241
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 2: we spoke, and now I'm feeling confident ahead of the.

1242
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: Series with the last place Marlins, and I think the

1243
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 1: thing to even take the biggest note of the biggest

1244
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: takeaway from this series is that the Mets at their

1245
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: absolute worst hung with the Braves and beat them. So

1246
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: when this team gets back to health and is clicking,

1247
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: they are going to be scary. This brave team is

1248
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: not the same brave team of old. We have to

1249
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: beat the Braves, and we did with a ship lineup.

1250
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what this team does when

1251
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: we're healthy and clicking.

1252
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: Definitely, we should have added to the farm report that

1253
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: Noah's in the garden said Lugo. Both had their first

1254
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: rehab starts and gotta hit ten two. Definitely. I guess

1255
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: they're both technically starts because Lugo pitched the first ending,

1256
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: which is funny when relievers earned rehab Since they pitching

1257
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: the first inning just to guarantee.

1258
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: The word out of there.

1259
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 2: But it's cool, man like, we're gonna get those guys back,

1260
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: probably by June first around. That's that's close, summertime.

1261
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: Really close. The best team is we're we're we're we're

1262
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: limping to the finish line here of getting these guys back,

1263
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: but they have not stopped limping yet. They're still going.

1264
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: Gotta I love it. This team is really fighting and

1265
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: really scrapping around and ragtag group of guys. Mets have

1266
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: done it before with you know, worst players, so I'm

1267
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: excited to see what we do here. That's gonna be
