24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: it has actually been quite a minute, I feel like

25
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: since we've spoke on Zoom here for an actual episode.

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: It's not an interview because Petriello was the last time

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: I believe we spoke on stream Yard or whatnot.

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and last week was also Jeff McNeil. So this

29
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: is the first time we've just been just just the

30
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 1: guys on Zoom, which is a kind of a weird,

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: fun adjustment. It's also just been a long week for

32
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: each of us in life, so this is nice to

33
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: get back here and just kind of feel normal again.

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, just talk a little ball talk about what's going on.

35
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: If you guys have been following the podcast, you've been

36
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: subscribed to the feed now you saw yesterday or two

37
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: days ago. I guess technically I'm dating myself here. Steve

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: Cohen was on the podcast talking to Howie Rose. They

39
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: had a little interview, which is really cool, always cool

40
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: whenever the owner gets involved, sebastially Steve, Oh, Steve Cohen,

41
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: and there was a lot of great stuff that was

42
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: said during the episode. I mean, he was talking about winning,

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: he was talking about prospects. What do you think really

44
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: stuck out to you, James, I think.

45
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: One of the biggest things is stuck out to me

46
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: is something that we've talked about a lot on this

47
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: show is that while the last collective boring agreement put

48
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of checks and markers and

49
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: how much owners could spend on their team that's on

50
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: the field, there is still no limit to how much

51
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: you could spend on coaches, developmental staff, data analytics people,

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: and technology. And Steve Cohen made very clear in an

53
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: interview that he is investing every single thing that he

54
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: can into building up our farm system, into creating this

55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: kind of like just creating this kind of a monster

56
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: down there. He even referred to the fact that when

57
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: he came in it was hollow, which I thought was

58
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: a good dig that he said that. But just the

59
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: fact that the Mets see the advantage that they have.

60
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Steve specifically see the advantage that he has that since

61
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: there's no cap on spending there, you might as well

62
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: get the best of the best. And I think the

63
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Mets have shown over the last year year plus two

64
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: years and change that that's what they're doing no.

65
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: I think it's really refreshing to hear that because you

66
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: think of a lot of win now teams and outside

67
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, maybe you look at their farm system and

68
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: usually it's not the strongest because they had to trade

69
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: away some of those assets to get some of the

70
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: bigger name players in. But the Mets are right now

71
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: in a spot where that farm system is getting better

72
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: and better and better as the years have gone on,

73
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: like you just said, and they're a team that's trying

74
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: to win now, which is very similar to how the

75
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: Dodgers have been built, who have been one of the

76
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: most successful teams in baseball, the Rays one of the

77
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: most successful teams in baseball. Look at the Astros, even

78
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: who someone that we applaud all the time on this podcast.

79
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: Their farm system's pretty barren right now. There is not

80
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: a whole lot of crazy big prospects at the moment.

81
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: They have a lot of young talent at the major

82
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 2: league level, but farm system wise, it's not as deep

83
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: necessarily true.

84
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: But I also think a lot of those teams they

85
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: don't really have the pop prospects, but they have a

86
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: lot more strength in their system that, like we don't

87
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: know about it like they're not making it a pipeline.

88
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: Maybe they're making it to Baseball America. But like, I

89
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: don't think anyone was talking about jose Ara Kiedy, and

90
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: not that jose Air Kiety is like a great pitcher

91
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: at all, but the Astros just created him and now

92
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: he just gives them free innings every single year. Like

93
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: Christian Havo was a guy who was like he was fine,

94
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: but as a prospect, no, he wasn't really that well

95
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: regarded that he had warts. Whatever. The Hunter Browns, a

96
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: guy who came from junior college who'd barely even ranked

97
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: the top hundreds of prospects, like he's gonna be an

98
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 1: ace in a month and a half. So I think

99
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot. I think a lot of

100
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: it is just about like what you're able to process

101
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: internally and not really rely on these external lists rankings

102
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: for EY teams, farmist and to see how your team

103
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: is valuing these players themselves. Like when you see a team,

104
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: like you said, like the Astros go into a season

105
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: after they win the World Series, or going to a

106
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: season at two years ago when you're like, oh, I

107
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: don't what's gonnappen? We're gonna let a shortop walk. We

108
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: don't have a shortop and Jeremy Page just walks up

109
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: and he's incredible. He went a World Series MVP, or

110
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: he just won a World Series and a guy like

111
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Justin Erlander comes to the Mets and you're like, oh,

112
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: we got guys. It's fine. Dodgers too. They're gonna play

113
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: with Goo Vargas every single day. He's probably gonna be great.

114
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: Like they just have these people ready to go. And

115
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: I think that is something that Mester striving for, and

116
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: I think that is something we can be confident will

117
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: reach at some point.

118
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think what was really cool is

119
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: just the word invest being thrown around Steve Cohen. Obviously,

120
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: you know a little bit of a Wall Street guy

121
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: over there.

122
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: A little bit and uh go, a little bit step

123
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: coming a little bit of a Wall Street guy is

124
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: like calling Hank Garyon a little bit of a baseball guy,

125
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a home run hitter, you know,

126
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: play baseball a little bit. He threw the ball around

127
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, a football player.

128
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: Him bringing that mindset to baseball is really cool. Is

129
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: something that we haven't seen too much of. It feels

130
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: like and I think it's something that's good We're gonna

131
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: start to see a lot more of because why not,

132
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: why not beat work, work smarter, not harder. I think

133
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: that's what really comes down to. Something that made me

134
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: laugh in that interview too, was that Steve Cohen is

135
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: all in, I'm celebrating Bobby Bonilla Day, which is hilarious,

136
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: and he's like, I want to bring him out every

137
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: day or every year. We're gonna give him a massive

138
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: check and he's gonna have to somehow transport that home

139
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 2: in order.

140
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: For it to cash or whatever. I thought that was hilarious.

141
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: I'm in.

142
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: I'm in for embracing the troll.

143
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: We should have been doing that forever, just because like

144
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: this is a day that all these other teams paid

145
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: deferred money anyway, and for some reason, Biby Bonia guy

146
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: doesn't even make that much money onto forred payment day.

147
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: He's the one, like, let's bring Saber Haagen back too,

148
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: for his core there a million dollars like every team.

149
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: This should be something that all teams do, Like I

150
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: want Max Sure's there in National's Park when he's sixty

151
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: eight years old, like collecting a check and walking on

152
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: the field like this is funny, like these teams signed

153
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: these contracts and these exist for a very long time.

154
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: Ken Grivey Junior should be on Cincinnati next year collecting

155
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: like one of the biggest checks on the entire team.

156
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: Like this should be happening across the league.

157
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: Might be the best center fielder on that team still

158
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: to this day. Not a great depth out there in

159
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: the outfield, but yeah, a lot of great things that

160
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: in the conversation between how we see. If you guys

161
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: have not yet listened to it, make sure you go

00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,040

Speaker 2: Mets YouTube channel. Go give that a listen or watch

165
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: if you have not yet done so. We also talked

166
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: to Mike Petriello before that episode came out, So if

167
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: you guys have not seen that, give it a listen.

168
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: Probably I feel like I say this after every interview,

169
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: but one of my favorite interviews we've ever gave it

170
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: was it was so much fun just talking straight up

171
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: ball like that.

172
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Mike is just one of the most knowledgeable

173
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: baseball people that exist right now, Like you guys have

174
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: seen him for years. He started out fangrass ESPNMLB, like

175
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: he's been all over the place and he has had

176
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: such a hand in the building up proliferation of baseball

177
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: savant stack cast as referred to sometimes and listening to

178
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: him talk about a lot of the internal processes and

179
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: just like how they kind of come about is really cool.

180
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know, you and I are both

181
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: like relatively like young in our baseball journey and like

182
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Mike's guy who has been doing this for a very

183
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: long time. So it's cool just to see just like

184
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: see him like talk like very like I don't know,

185
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: it's like stoically about what he's done.

186
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: It's also nice to get a perspective on the team

187
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: that we root for and podcasts for that is not

188
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: someone that is a Mets fan. Necessarily, we get a

189
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: little bit more of an unbiased opinion maybe on stuff.

190
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: I think I'm probably more biased than you if we

191
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: really had to go anywhere. But at the end of

192
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: the day, we are still Mets fans, and we definitely

193
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: see things with rose colored glasses sometimes. But I mean,

194
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: he had a lot of really good things about or

195
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: to say about the team, And if you guys have

196
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: not yet given it a listen.

197
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: Definitely go give it a listen. Definitely also killed me

198
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: when he mentioned just the fact of like how the

199
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: Mets are viewed by their own fans, like the fact

200
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: that here's someone who's like not associated with the Mets.

201
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: We lived in New York for a long time and

202
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: he puts out a on Metro related content. I think

203
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: for that reason, just so an outside perspective on like

204
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: how Mets twether seems. It's like, well, that's a scary place.

205
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe you guys like live inside there. Another

206
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: thing that we love.

207
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: We love you guys, but you're a little scary sometimes.

208
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Another great thing that Mike said, which is my

209
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: little segue transition right here, is that he thought one

210
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: of the most underrated players go on the Mets going

211
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: into next season. It was my guy Tommy fam your

212
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: boy Toot. Cracked me up when we were interviewing him.

213
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: And this is actually, hilariously the first time we've talked

214
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: to you guys since the Mets made that signing, which

215
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: is like what three weeks ago now, just because we've

216
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: done interviews, pre recorded stuff and just keep keep it

217
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: moving along. So we gotta talk about Tommy Fam.

218
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, Tommy Fam gonna be the fourth outfielder, hopefully

219
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: for the Mets this season. I mean I shouldn't be

220
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: talking about him. This is your guy. At the end

221
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: of the day, I should let you take the floor

222
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: because Tommy Fam, this is that you've been beating the

223
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: drum for the the old Mets up listeners. This has

224
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: been the guy since episode one. James has had circled

225
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: and said, all.

226
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: Right, come on, all right, this is this is I

227
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: mean in a way, but you're exactly thinking a little

228
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: bit right now. But it's just he he just fit

229
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: like back and listen everyone, go back and listen to

230
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: every single episode of this podcast ever. But he just

231
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: feels a lot of needs that this team kind of

232
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: had at the same time, where it's like, Okay, we

233
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: need another guy who can play the outfield check, we

234
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: need the guy who has a little bit of power check,

235
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: we need the guy who gets on bass check. Like,

236
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: you can't really do much better than that for only

237
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: a few million dollars. And it's pretty cool that Tommy

238
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Fan was able to do that and be a nice little,

239
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: tight little package. And there were a lot of Mets

240
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: fans who were kind of like freaking out about this

241
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: as if they want like the team's fourth outfielder to

242
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: be like Wan so Though, or like Mike Trout or

243
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: like some talented players. But I think in terms of

244
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: like fourth outfielders across Major League Baseball, guy who's only

245
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: probably gonna get like four hundred, five hundred play appearance

246
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: of this season, maybe some PROBA probably somewhere in between. Yeah,

247
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, but I think this is just a good

248
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: It's just a good spot to be really is.

249
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: What what do you think makes Tommy fam someone you

250
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 2: like more than the other free agents that were available

251
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: to maybe be a fourth outfielder. I know Adam Duval's

252
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: on the Red Sox, but like the names that were

253
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: going around were like Duval, Profar, Tommy fam like those guys.

254
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I would have been fine with Duval because

255
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Uval gives you a lot more defensively than Tommy fam

256
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: Fam because he's gotten older. I think he's thirty four

257
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: to thirty five now. It's a little bit. It's just

258
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the defense of something that's starting to go and like,

259
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just gonna happen to guys. Aging

260
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: It's why he's a fourth outfielder now rather than rather

261
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: than a guy who's gonna be slay I guess six

262
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: hundred play apeerance with the team. But what he brings

263
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: more so than a guy like we talked about far

264
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: a couple of times, well well out feelers we talked

265
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: about who were even in the running for this.

266
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: I feel like it was mostly Profar doing profile, maybe

267
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: mcutch in a little bit when he was still available.

268
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: I think, but it's just he's just again, more power,

269
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: more power. He gets on base more a lot more

270
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: than Duval, which is but I think that was probably

271
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: biggest difference there for me. You're kind of trading some

272
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: defense for some on base ability and he just he

273
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: just he's a righty too, which I think this meant

274
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: the lineup could use another righty bat like that, especially

275
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: someone's gonna come off the bench once in a while

276
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: and just a little bit a little bit of power.

277
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: We need that power of right now. From the bat

278
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: x projection system, which is Derek Cary's projection system, something

279
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: that has proven to be incredibly accurate year over year,

280
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Tommy fam has the fourth highest expected ISO on the

281
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: entire team. Like projection wise, guys who are gonna play,

282
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: who're projected to play at least one hundred games, which

283
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: in one hand is scary, but in the other hand,

284
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool you were able to just pull

285
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: a guy in for a couple of million dollars who

286
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: has that kind of power potential.

287
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's definitely value in having Tommy Fam

288
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: on this team, like you said, as a fourth outfielder.

289
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: I think that's really it's a very nice spot to

290
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: have a guy like him, because at times he does

291
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: show those flashes where you're like, oh, there's there's the

292
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: younger Tommy Fam that we remember the All Star caliber outfielder,

293
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: which no disparaging any of the guys that we had

294
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: in the past before, you know, as our fourth outfielders

295
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: or whatnot, but they weren't like former All Stars like

296
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: I feel like the last time there was a former

297
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: All Star that was the fourth outfielder was like Jose Baaltista,

298
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: and we know that year was a complete mess anyway.

299
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: So and he's only thirty four years old, so there

300
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: is still a path for Tommy Fam to like recoup

301
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: at least some value and maybe have one good year

302
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: with the Mets. Have his former play appearance as hit

303
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: well and like get himself a two year deal next year.

304
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: They keep running out this back end of his career.

305
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: And also there is this like it's not without warts.

306
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: I mentioned the defense being an issue. Tommy fam strikeout

307
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: raids also went up way up last year, but that

308
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: also could have been like a frustration issue. I also

309
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: looked into his stats a little bit. It seems like

310
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: he had a bit more pronounced of a passivity issue

311
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: than he's ever had in the past. And when I

312
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: say passivity, I mean he just wasn't. Timm's never been

313
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: a guy who swung very much, and one of them

314
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: that's been one of the calling cards of his game,

315
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: never chasing. Even last year as Chase Ray was eighty

316
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: eighth percentile, but last year he kind of stopped punishing

317
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: the pitches he should have been punishing as much. He's

318
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: always been a dead red fastball hitter, struggles with off speed,

319
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: struggles with breaking balls, and last year he also saw

320
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: the lowest percentage of fastballs he's ever seen in his career,

321
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: which makes a lot of sense from the opposing team's perspective.

322
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see how he shifts back.

323
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: But also that could kind of be a function of

324
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: the baseball as well. If you notice that the contact

325
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: you're making isn't as good. Even though his bower rate

326
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: Westill Betting the league average is the exit of Losity

327
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: was still in the top ten percent of the entire league.

328
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: There could be it's gonna be interesting to see how

329
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: we adjust the breaking balls off speed stuff. So it's

330
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna be cool to see our hitting coaches work with him.

331
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be cool to see how we adjust to

332
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: being in more of a complimentary role. It's I think

333
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a good It was a good

334
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: player to sign. The skill set fits with this roster

335
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: needed very well. Good depth piece, good depth piece. We

336
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: talked about it.

337
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Let's fill out that whole twenty six man roster and

338
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: this definitely helps. And that also kind of brings us

339
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: into our spring training storylines before we bring in Johnny

340
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: DApps Johnny Bahama to tell us about what's going on

341
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: in Port Saint Luci. They're definitely I feel like our

342
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: a few storylines going into spring training that are super

343
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: important to talk about and something to keep an eye

344
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: out for, because I mean let's be honest, the Mets

345
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: are a pretty interesting team, and some of these decisions,

346
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: some of these storylines could make a big impact, one

347
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: of them being just the prospect situation or prospects with

348
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: quotation marks. Now, because we know Vento, Spady Alvarez, they're

349
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: all major league caliber players, we saw them at the

350
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: major league level last year. What they're gonna look like

351
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: in spring training, what their position on the team could

352
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: be opening day. That's like, that's probably the biggest one, right.

353
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: Definitely, And also just kind of the way they interact

354
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: with the guys, Like just seeing how these dudes walk

355
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: into a spring training and like the first time in

356
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: their lives, like we're actually kind of members of this team.

357
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: It's unlikely they break camp with the team based on

358
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: like reports we've been seeing last few weeks and also

359
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: just based on the Mets roster construction, but this is

360
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: the first time these guys are walking in the major

361
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: league camp like we belong here. Every single one of

362
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: those guys at least got to the club last year.

363
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: They've all gotten their feet wet, they've all taken a

364
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: dip in the pool, They've all had literally a cup

365
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: of coffee and now it's time to see what you got.

366
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: And that picture went viral of the video of Baby

367
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: and Alvarez. The other day, Johnny went half viral wapping

368
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: up Mark Viento's his boy. We'll talk about that in

369
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it's kind of cool that a

370
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: team like this BET's team, with so many talented veterans,

371
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: like so many pieces in place to make a deep

372
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: run right now, actually has three high potential prospects that

373
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: can supplement the rest of the roster.

374
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: Should I bring in John now? Since he's he's already

375
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: there and we know what's going on.

376
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: I guess we might as well. Why not we previous story?

377
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: This is real day though.

378
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: There is John how we were talking about like the

379
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: guys feeling like they're big leaguers finally making it there.

380
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you've noticed from Baty, Alvarez, Vientos

381
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: so far?

382
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's up, guys, Good to see you, hope. The

383
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: weather I heard heard is a warm day up in

384
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: New York, which is nice to hear. Nice seventy six

385
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: degrees here today on Wednesday. So yeah, no, you know,

386
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: going back to what you guys were saying, the fact

387
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: that these guys are here right now and working hard.

388
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: You know, we get started pretty early in the morning

389
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 4: with what we're doing, why we're here, and you know,

390
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: these guys are doing the same exact thing, and it's

391
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: incredibly impressive. The first morning, you know, Monday of this week,

392
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 4: nine am, I look to my left and Brett Baty

393
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: and Mark Vientos and Princess Cavalverrez. We're walking through the

394
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: door to the batting cages. You know, Batty and and

395
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: Viento's especially have been tied at the hip. There's been

396
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: a couple trios tied at the hip, which I've noticed.

397
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: That's one of them. Today they were on one of

398
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: the backfields hitting with Alex Ramirez, who is a very

399
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: very impressive young man. Uh six', three six,' four has

400
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: definitely filled out a, little bit and he's still, incredibly

401
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 4: young projected to be a. Center fielder mets fans have

402
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: a lot to be excited. With Him but Baty and

403
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: vento's hitting frozen ropes, all over then going to take

404
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 4: round balls together at, third base encouraging, each, other laughing

405
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 4: having a. Good time you could see a rivalry brewing between,

406
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 4: two guys especially that close To The major, league level

407
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: competing for probably the same. At bats perhaps it's not a.

408
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: Rivalry whatsoever the rooting for, each other the mixing. It

409
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: up it's cool if you. Watch it it just, it's legit.

410
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 4: It's authentic Another duo i've seen that have been tied

411
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: at the Hip are Olmar and Narvaez And. Francisco alvarez

412
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 4: it's A good i had not seen one without. The

413
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: other omar obviously gonna be on the major, league roster

414
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: was signed to probably play at least, seventy games if

415
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: not have a time share With With. Thomas needo behind,

416
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: The plate he's been incredibly active catching bullpen sessions for minor.

417
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: League guys he's been all over just imparting his wisdom

418
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: and being in the batting Cages FOR. Francisco alvarezvp it's, something,

419
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 4: different man the way. The bat the ball sounds different

420
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: coming off this.

421
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: Guy's bat it's.

422
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: It's, crazy oh we were when we Were, at brooklyn

423
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: we got to see him like literally up close. IN

424
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: personal i Mean At city fielder on the, field Too

425
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: but brooklyn they kind of just let us go as

426
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: close as. Really wanted it's a. Booming noise it's like

427
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: you talk about like the crack of. The bat it

428
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: reminded me of like HE took bep similar TO guys

429
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: i put in the conversation Of Like john carlo st

430
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: And Vlad, Gery, junior bobachette like Guys that i've seen,

431
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: in person LIVE take VP where, i, go oh there's something,

432
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: Different Here Like fernando tatis was a part of. That

433
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: group and The Way francisco, alvarez hits he's part of

434
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: that group for. Me too, of man he's just he's

435
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: a little bit different than.

436
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: Everybody, else also the FIRST time i remember We Had

437
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: matt Eddie From baseball america on, THIS show i think

438
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: it was about, the summer late summer issue of or

439
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: maybe he could be even fall wintertime of twenty. Twenty

440
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: one he said even At The futures game that season

441
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: that the two most impressive batting practices, by far all

442
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: the major prospects in baseball There Were francisco Alvarez And

443
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: brett bathy said they were one IN one a and

444
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: no one else, came close which.

445
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: Is sick, that's sick especially As a, mets fan to

446
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: hear that these young guys are as good as they're

447
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: being hyped up to be because sometimes, you know these

448
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: prospect guys can overhype some dudes every once in. A

449
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: while mets have had a couple guys like that in the.

450
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: Past BEFORE but i love to Hear that alvarez is

451
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: Hanging around, narvaiaz, though too because the one thing that's

452
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: being talked About with alvarez is he needs to work

453
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: defensively on his, catching game and apparently he has been

454
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: working all winter long to get, better defensively and he

455
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: feels like he's in a. Comfortable spot nerviez is a

456
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: guy who, just recently like in what the last couple,

457
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: of years has really improved defensively. As well so whatever

458
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: secrets and tricks, HE learned i definitely want him to

459
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 2: give Him To francisco alvarez.

460
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: AS well i have another question, For. You john we've

461
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: talked about the best prospects in This team, fiento's Bay The.

462
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: Alvarez ramirez is there, another prospect maybe an under the

463
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: radar guy who Maybe The mets evans haven't heard so,

464
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,640

00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: how about just the bullpen. IN general i Know that

620
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: james is gonna be happy to talk about. This one

621
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: But the mets of low key put together what like

622
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: ten fifteen pitchers deep in the bullpen of like really.

623
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: Good arms yeah it me have.

624
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: Just this hilarious click of dudes who are like have

625
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: some like shockingly high potential while also just being. Scrappyap

626
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: editions they pulled in another one This week i'll talk

627
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: About By. Sam coonrod, really briefly he came From, the

628
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: phillies so a lot Of the mets fans probably have

629
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: poor memories of him pitching badly against us because he

630
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: really didn't have that great results With. The phillies but

631
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: he all spent some time With the giants few, years

632
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: AGO and i think that there is a little bit

633
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of secret potential in, this arm JUST

634
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: as i, would say but any of these random pitchers

635
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: Are the mets. Pull in but who has a guy

636
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: who before he had some arm trouble last year was

637
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: sitting ninety eight to. One hundred he fell back a

638
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: little bit, last year had some. Injury problems he doesn't

639
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: have like the best fastball shape in the world was also.

640
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: Not bad it's, definitely something especially with the velocity that's

641
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: like more, than okay you shouldn't even be close to.

642
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: A problem and he also throws plenty, of sinkers so

643
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: like sixty five percent of his pitches the last couple

644
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: of years have been forcing fastballs, and SINKERS which i

645
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: guess if you're throwing, ninety eight, that's fine but he

646
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: wasn't getting, great Results so i'm wondering if that's a

647
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: place Where the mets look to make a little adjustment.

648
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: With him and he also struggled with command a lot

649
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: of that sinker fastball. As well he just never been

650
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: a guy who commanded anything. Really well but the fastball

651
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: was much more effective with than. The sinker and then

652
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: he's had like some very weird like track records with this,

653
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: breaking ball so just obviously pitched, in general he's had.

654
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: A slyther it seems like he's been slowly turning that

655
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: slider into a color for the last, few years or

656
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: maybe it just has always been, a cover but it's

657
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: just classified on. These websites had a slider where it

658
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: keeps getting harder, and harder like more velocity and keeps

659
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: getting less and, Less movement so it seems like he's

660
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: making a very concidered effort to turn this pitch into

661
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: a cover and past that since he doesn't really have

662
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: a slider anymore or a. Breaking ball, last year literally

663
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: in his last like six appearance of the, entire season

664
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: he debuted this curveball he hadn't thrown. In years and

665
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: the curveball. Was great it had much more dropped in the,

666
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: league average it had good horizontal movement across his own

667
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: and it didn't get that many whisk because it didn't

668
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: seem like he really had a grasp. On it but

669
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: in terms of the, pitch physics it was really. Really

670
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: Good and i'm wondering If the mets kind of saw

671
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: how that, curveball worked saw how hard. He threw and

672
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: he also has a change up that's been his outpitch for,

673
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: years traditionally it's got a lot of ground balls and

674
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: also been his highest. WIFT pitch i think last year

675
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: was like thirty. Five percent he didn't have another pitch,

676
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: Over twenty so there is a lot to work with

677
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: him in terms like a ball, of clay a dart

678
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: throw for a, random reliever and it goes a lot

679
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: of the GUYS In metsa poldon's offseason, in general starts

680
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: out with a fastball is ninety seven ninety eight miles,

681
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: an hour and it seems like one very above average,

682
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: breaking ball which is literally as we've gone, over all

683
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: you need to be a. Dominant Reliever edwin diaz doesn't

684
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: even consider throwing at their pitch and no one can. Touch,

685
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: him like if you have two really, good ones. You're

686
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: elite even if you have one really, good one you're.

687
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Pretty good and it looks like there's a Chance For

688
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: cludon rod to become one of. Those, GUYS well i.

689
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: Saw you tweet out the, Fan, graps yeah the roster.

690
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: Resource, chart yeah.

691
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: Of the mets triple a, bullpen situation which is something in,

692
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: previous years like we've been scrambling to. Find guys it

693
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: seems Like the mets have a plethora of them, right

694
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: now which is like so weird that we're. Talking about

695
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: this is like really cool, and NICE but i think

696
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: it is important and stuff that you, see again the

697
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: best teams, in baseball do you have, a deep deep

698
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: roster that's hilarious that you can tweet out of a

699
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: picture of Like THE triple, a bullpen get like eighty.

700
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: Thousand impressions but that's just how how How much mets

701
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: fans want to want to make them happen. Right now but,

702
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: This Bullpen, zach green we're talking About him. RULE five

703
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: i don't think you can actually be In THE triple

704
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: a bullpen because rule five stats mean he asked to

705
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: be in the major. League ROSTER but i guess he's

706
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: just there based on how it came out with and

707
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: My Boy, jeff brigham who might just be one of

708
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 2: the best leaders in baseball once we get around To At,

709
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,320

00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: Of Course, jimmy acabonas who's just to throw some of

711
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: the most gifable pitchers, In Baseball, William Woods, eric orza.

712
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: We got there's just guys. Down there two of those.

00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: a bullpen, back there and there's a good chance we

715
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,160

716
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:25,760

Speaker 4: Weeks ago you look at his twenty twenty and granted a,

720
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 4: small sample he was a very very effective. Relief pitcher

721
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 4: another guy that can make an impact on this team

722
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 4: from the, left side Which the mets, you hear are

723
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,880
