WEBVTT - Christian Scott Shoves, Mets Beat Braves, and More Trade Deadline Rumors | 595 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:10.159 What is Up? 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.479 Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:17.040 Up podcast. Little series win against the Atlanta Braves. I mean, 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.400 I don't go figure. Twenty twenty six is a year 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.400 the Mets have the Braves number just absolutely eviscerted them. 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.600 On Monday night, a little bit of a split double 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.080 header on Wednesday. Good first game, second game, Chris Sale happens, 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.480 so the Mets just don't hit, which is understandable. And 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.440 of course we have some more trade rumors and everything 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.319 going on with the MLB trade deadline before we get 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.040 going into it. Make sure you are subscribed over here 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.080 to Mets Up so you don't miss out on any 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.640 of the Mets content. If you want to listen to 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.200 the podcast, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google drops a rating, drops review, 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.680 download and subscribe, and of course a big shout out 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.440 to all our members who get access to the episodes early. 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:51.800 This is probably not one of them. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.600 This is a late night recording because the Mets still 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.840 again refuse to end series during the day. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.320 I mean, at least it was quick game. 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.560 Three post to end this series during the day. The 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.600 rain just killed us there and then the very cheeky 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.960 split doubleheaded by the Mets trying to duce every single 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.000 cent out of us this season. But don't really love 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.600 that funny comment. I don't remember who made it during 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.080 the second game, but that last year the Mets needed 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.200 one win to get into the playoffs and they were 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.080 well below five hundred against their own division. This year, 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.440 Mets are seventeen games out the five hundred against the 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.800 rest in total, and they're like, I think a game under, 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.080 game over or just five hundred against the NL East, 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.880 which is the best or second best division in baseball, dude. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.959 And then also, how about the fact that, like my 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.280 record and your record this year at Mets games for 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.240 not unbelievable. I don't think you've seen a loss. I 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.280 think seen one now, Yeah, I think i've six to 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.640 one or maybe two. Like I think I'm like ten 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.760 and two, and I think, like, that's almost unfathomable considering 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.400 the Mets have won forty six games. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.200 This was your first game in person a while. What 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:48.920 was it like in there? 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:53.040 This was my first game since Ernie's birthday night after 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.840 the day after the Knicks won the NBA Finals game. 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.440 Yeah, I mean it was an absolute They beat the 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.000 Braves beat the Braves beat the Braves, got to beat 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.360 the breaks off of them. It was very, very empty. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.280 I understand day game during the middle of the week, 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.240 it's not like the easiest people go out to. I 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.000 think if there was no camp days might have been 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.800 five thousand people in the stadium. 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.360 The whole vibe was bizarre. I felt like it was 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:16.399 really quiet. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.560 I felt like there wasn't even a lot to particularly 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.520 cheer about in this game for the Mets, Like it 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.960 was just like a pretty straightforward, boring game. I feel 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.240 like the Queen's Crew was taken down a bit. I 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.960 feel like the whole vibes of the place was very 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:31.720 much like. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.040 Taken down a bit, like just less fewer of them. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.519 It just felt like there was less Queen's Crew action 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.600 going on and a lot less of like the MC 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.560 guy that's not Mike Janella being like. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.359 Stand up and cheer for your New York Mets. 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.280 I think that makes sense when you like, of course 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.200 it should five hundred and I'm sure that you're not 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.639 going to hit your revenue expectations, so I'm sure you 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.400 have to cut back on certain things, especially during a 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.360 double heather. You're not going to make people work two 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:56.040 ends of it, you know. 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.200 I mean what was great is that that ten dollars 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.440 thing on the tickets is awesome today. And they had 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.920 the five dollars beer hot dog thing going on for 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.800 the day game today, which I thought was interesting. 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.160 So maybe that's gonna be the rest of the year. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:07.760 I hope it is. 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.959 Maybe that's just because the Tuesday was rained out so 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.200 they honored the Tuesday promotion. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:11.800 Could be. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.680 But I got a two hot dogs, a corps light, 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.000 and a bucket of pickles for one seventy seven today. 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.520 That was phenomenal. I was the best part of the game. 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.440 I wonder, who wait those pickles? Yeah, I wonder, But 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.080 I mean, that's a nice afternoon. Again. That's what this 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.080 Mets team is, a nice way to spend an afternoon 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.480 or an evening if you just don't really give a 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.119 shit about baseball, or or at a spot like most 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.840 of us. But the baseball can no longer hurt you. 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:36.880 But that was a good game. Like this, The Mets 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.040 played well this whole series, like it was generally clean ball. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.600 Every single star they pitched well, the lineup still whatever, 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.360 something neither here nor there. But there's moments. I mean, 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.360 Monday was an explosion. Francisco Indoor raises ops sixty points 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.000 in one game. He's a better than the league average 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.520 bat now, Like, I can't believe it, right, crazy, I 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.160 can't believe Francisco Indoor. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.600 It took him fifty games to get the ops again 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.880 of ops plus of one hundred. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.560 Who saw that one coming. I've heard that this guy's watched. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.839 Surely he'll never play a good game of baseball again 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:07.440 in his life. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.680 It'll be one twenty in like two weeks. But that 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.400 was just a pure onslaught. Like again, it's a I 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.720 think I mentioned it two or three podcasts ago, maybe 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.400 last time he played the Braves. That, like the Martin 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.640 Perez experience, is incredible. At this point in his career, 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.359 it's just nothing just seeing what he can do. This 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.120 feels like those late stage Bartolo Cologne starts, where like 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.120 you're like, damn, yeah, I'm happy he's still doing it. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.600 There's not gonna be many other pictures like Martin Perez, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.680 I feel like for a while, but it was cool 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.080 to see one that Mets hit get tons of hard 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.080 hit balls against him. And then just when a reliever 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.440 in Connor Thomas's now the major league regular come in, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.480 you can just completely eviscerate the dude. It was crazy 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.040 that to me, the Braves left him out there for eighty. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.159 Yeah, I mean, poor Connor Thomas. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.800 Like, as a person, I feel no remorse for the 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.000 Atlanta Braves or the fact that it happened to him 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.760 on The Atlanta Braves also wear. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.400 A ports for him to see. I don't consider him 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.160 Atlanta Brave. He's just he's never gonna pitch for them again. Probably. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.440 I mean, with all due respect to Connor Thomas, I've 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.560 looked at his members, I have seen him pitch one time. 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.680 I don't think that there's many more opportunities coming. He's 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.160 pitched eleven and two thirds innings in his career at 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.480 the major league level. These numbers are staggering, staggering. These 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.400 have to be some of the worst in the history 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.039 of the entire game. Eleven and two thirds. He's given 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.440 up twenty seven hits, twenty seven earned runs. He's giving 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.240 up seven home runs, He's walked eight guys, struck out nine. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.400 Don't know how that happens, But like, I mean, twenty 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.880 seven earned runs and eleven and two thirds is unbelievable. 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.000 Still, it's just the fact that his team let him 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.240 just flown to for aidy pitches like that. Shit's crazy. 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:33.320 Yeah whatever, I don't care. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.680 Yeah yeah, and it's still not getting any you know, 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.320 sorriness for me. Guy gets to be a major leaguer. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:40.039 I think I'll take it. 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.479 That's fair, but I have for a day back down. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.160 Matt Cielinger got a few grand Yeah that's his name, Matt. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.920 Yeah, that was a shame too. But again, nice to 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.160 the offense explode that one. You got Marcus Emion Homer 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.360 before just oh for jumping Around're gonna ten minutes of 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:55.960 games that we're gonna get some rumors for you guys. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.120 Marcus Emion took three of the worst at pats I've 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.120 ever seen in my life against against Chris Sale. Well, 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.479 I think the last one was finn taste. 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.320 But this version of a sale Marcus Simon makes baseball 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.760 look so difficult. And I know it is a hard sport, 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.239 he makes it look really hard. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.359 I mean, this version of Marcus Smian is probably the 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.719 version that we should have seen Marcus Simian forever. He's like, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.880 I don't he no longer cares about singles, He no 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.400 longer cares about using the field he's like and again 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.960 he's always been mostly like this, but I think now 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.120 he's selling out more so I just have to catch 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.120 that ball out in front. I'm hoping to hook that 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:24.360 thing into left field. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:24.960 And it's not working. 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:26.720 I feel like maybe he should go back to looking 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.120 for singles. If this is the version that he thinks 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.760 is optimal right now to six twenty oh ps and 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.839 it is the worst defense at second base, I don't 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.440 really see how you could ever convince yourself that that's 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:38.360 a good game plan. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.760 No, I'm at a spot where I'm I'm incredibly tired 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.000 of watching him play baseball. I have to see him 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.200 full years. Yeah, we saw from Romison Cano He's not 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.880 going to be in this roster for two full years. 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.880 There's just no way that happens. But I'm just hoping 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.560 we get to a spot where, again, like this, the 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.719 rest of the season is experimentation and the possibility of 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.640 soft tankingh So I want to talk about later on. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.719 So I would like to see Aju maybe get some 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.440 reps they see what he has there. I'd like see 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.640 Brett Baty gets some more reps there and Brett Baby continue. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.600 Even though I hate how it looks get reps in 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.600 the outfield. Maybe when like when I is on the mounds, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.160 we don't have to ruin starts from any of the 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.840 young guys like Leasuit Christian Scott. But it's just get 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.080 Jered young Moore outfield reps again, like it's everything just 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.880 for to Squallverers want to play second base if he's 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.440 not traded, Like I don't really know, like this is 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.640 the rest of the season. Devers just grabbed the glove. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.280 You see that he's playing a little second base during 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:24.800 warm ups because they had all these injuries. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:25.840 I'm saying, why not right now? 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.440 It's a shame for them. Casey Schmid went down, He's 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:28.520 having a sick breakout season. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.600 But this is just that's kind of what this is, 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.720 like the one saving grace for US Mets fans for 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.680 the rest of the season. Again, our o rookies, we 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.920 love our we love our young managing you and Carson Bench. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.160 But the pitchers, especially Zach Thorn again having another really 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:45.640 nice start on Monday. I won't say that watching this start, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:46.960 I felt like in my heart it was a really 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.800 nice start. The Braves were small during the ball every 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.120 single time they put a bat on it, but again, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.360 working edges when you could finding cols decently locate sweeper 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.000 some of the time, makes again more fastballs, trying to 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.120 elevate them. Like it does, feel like he's just learning 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.920 as a big leaguer. I don't want this stretch for 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.760 Zach Thorton to super change the perspective on a guy 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.920 who we hope develops into a back end starther. I 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.640 see some people making their twenty twenty seven rosters. I 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.480 think I said last episode and Zach Dorris slotted into 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.480 two or three. No, that's not going to be the case. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.360 But Clay Holmes is actually back on this team for 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.040 those two which is always funny to see. But it's 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.520 nice to see Zach Thorton experiment, move things around and 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.360 find success at this juncture of his career. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.240 I love how much he attacks batters. He's also going 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.120 to have to learn how to throw some more balls, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.920 I think, just because the stuff isn't at that level 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.439 where you can just be in the zone as consistently. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.480 I mean, honestly, if you're Jack Thornton, you're looking to 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.160 cross the way and you're like, I hope i'd become 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:46.439 Martin Perez for my career. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.640 Let's say Zack Thoron and Martin Perez should do a 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:49.719 jersey swap after this game. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:50.199 They should. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.440 He needs to do a little bit that Martin Perez 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.079 edge lord shit where he's like, and Zach Thorton does 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.520 kind of need to find a sinker and he does 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:57.920 kind of need to find the change up. Those are 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.920 the pitches that need to be added to this repertoire. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.200 I think we've commed him to like bad case Dylan Dodd, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.439 good case Foster Griffin in the last few weeks. And 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.000 then again that just comes with developing more pitches in 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.439 this repertoire. Finding again more edges can keep calling and 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.200 edge Lord, it's gonna make people cringe went and listen 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.680 to this, but it's fun. It's just it's fun to 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.120 watch a young pitcher kind of figure out their way 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:17.920 as they get through it. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.360 And also just for everybody at home again, James myself 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.400 saying any of this stuff about Zach Thornon, this is 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.280 not like the defamatory stuff about him, Like this is 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.960 just like when when we talk about these pitchers and 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.640 these young players and what they need to do to 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.439 the next level, it's not that they're not good right now. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.840 It's that if you want to continue on the path forward, 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.840 which if you're not getting better as a major league player, 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.640 especially from your rookie season, you become Chris Coglin. You're 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.480 out of the league very very quickly. Like you don't 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.200 want those kind of players. We want him to have 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.120 a major league career. 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.000 Chris Coughlin just catches stray. 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.439 Chris Coughlin's like the one that one rookie of the 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:51.600 year and then all of a sudden it was like 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:52.920 bye bye Sea. 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.480 Yeah, I mean Chris Coughlin put up how many career 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.320 war one career war? Oh my god? 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.120 And how much was it for his rookie year? 0:09:59.280 --> 0:09:59.920 One point one? 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:00.319 Yeah? 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.520 There it is stuff. Chriscago played eight hundred games. That's 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.120 shockingly love fighting Mark Vientos for a war battle right there? 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:08.920 Oh my gosh, I don't even watch that guy play 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.599 baseball anymore. But again, lots more keep going on, a 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.040 few more minutes. Lots of good things to pull from 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:15.520 this series. How about Game two? 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.240 Shaman I is like me, this fucker is gonna make 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:19.720 me believe. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.719 Now I probably believe the Sheomana is a mid rotation guy. Again. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.040 I think a been on that train for like a month. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.800 I think we said it from that. I think was 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.000 the Yankee game, one of the first ball appearances when 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.040 we're like, oh, Shamana is actually throwing ninety one miles 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.000 an hour. It's got like a three six era like 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:32.439 that is. 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.640 I think he got ninety three today again a bunch 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:35.080 of times. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.440 And you saw it last start, you saw at this 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:38.920 start again. You were at the game, so you didn't 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.720 hear the guy's talking about it. But just the way 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.480 he's so comfortable with his fastball. This is kind of 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.480 how me and I pitched when he was at his 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.840 best in twenty twenty four. Not saying we're any we're 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.760 close to that, or we'll ever get close to that again, 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.440 but it's this idea. It's old school pitching, where I 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.560 am throwing you my fastball until you've proved to me 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.880 you can actually hit my fastball, and then I'll adjust 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:58.319 after that off of that. And that's what he did 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.280 now two straight starts. He was good. He located that 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.040 pitch really well, like the sweeper was nice, and like 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.600 she's not scared to work both sides of plate. He's 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.240 not scared to go high to hither. It's like, this 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.120 was a good version of Seaan Ma and I and 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.520 won that for twenty mil as your three four star. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.600 The next year for someone else's they want to give 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.720 us something for him. It's all anything's in play now. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.920 Yeah, right now, like that version of seanman Ia. It 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.120 doesn't bother me, not in the slightest. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.280 No, nor should it. And justin enough to win offensively. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.079 It's you youwing a gorgeous sackfly Carson Bench, beautiful, go ahead, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.840 hy the tomahawk chop. It's it's nice. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.600 I'm gonna give you something from the stadium. I think 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.959 Lindor is still playing a little bit hurt actually, because 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.840 that Carson Bench doubled down the line. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.040 It was crazy. Lindor didn't score. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.600 And when I was watching him run, it looked like 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.400 he wasn't running hard, which obviously we know he's not running. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.040 He's not not running hard. I think he's. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.839 Probably as far as he has to, yeah, being instructed 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.080 on the effort level on the bass paths at certain times, 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.600 because I just I was surprised they didn't score, and 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.280 then one I started watching him run, I was like, 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.959 oh yeah, like he's definitely not one hundred percent. And 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.520 I think that's another thing that a lot of people 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:06.240 need to keep in mind. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.640 To big second half of the season coming up, there 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.160 might be a hot ticket, a rivalry series, a sold 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.079 out experience they need to get your hands on, and 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.680 sea geek is the spot for that.

Yes, and part of that's being in 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.960 his thirties. Part of that is possibly still the calf, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.719 and again we don't calf injuries are really weird, which 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.760 is why it was nice they were comfortable with him 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.240 and lost season. So same with Wan Sola right now. Weird. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.440 Those guys both have fucking calf injuries. It's just saying 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.640 to think about, but it's awesome. He also has only 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.280 attempted one stolen base since coming off the edge of 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.200 list and we're over a month now since that's happened, 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.360 so that's a pretty clear indication that he definitely has 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:38.720 still has something nagging him. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.480 Other thing in this game to talk about positive wise, again, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.280 Carson Bench continues to just look fantastic at the plate. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.640 Love watching him hit, and Francisco Alvarez that line drive 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.800 that he hit the left field, I mean, just absolutely 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.200 pissed on it. I love when he's when he's hitting 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.720 ninth I love watching him play. 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.040 Yeah right, And for some reason, that's just it. And 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.200 again I think by bull take coming out his deadlines 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.280 that he might be the one that we're shocked is moved. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.720 Yeah, I thought it was interesting to see, like, Ohapi moved. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.120 Alvarez is way better than him. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.680 Of course, these are play the same sport. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.200 They're only comparable by the fact that they're both right 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:14.000 handed hitting catchers who are horrendous Defensively. Alvarez better than 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.920 No Happy well yeah, I mean me or you is 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.880 better than No Happy right now behind the plate. But like, yeah, 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.760 I think the I think someone put out an article 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.800 too today about how the catching market is going to 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.040 be the most active of all positions. It seems like 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.280 because every contender needs them and that just never happens either, 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.400 which is kind of crazy. But again, it's that's why 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.080 I do. I think that an offer might come to 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.360 the Mets desk, that it might just be too juicy 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:35.960 for Alvas. I don't want to see him trade it 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.880 unless we get something crazy. But this is again This 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.480 is a player right now who can fake it at 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.320 catcher half the time and is pacing for nearly an 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.720 eight hundred ops. Yeah, and there's still one of the 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.480 youngest starters at that position in the entire league. He 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.200 probably has some of the most that bats ever for 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.840 that age in Major League Baseball history playing that position. 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.640 He does all rea up my stat of account. Try 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.520 to find that maybe within the next week for you guys. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.760 But again, just the only bad to take away from 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.920 this game specifically. Also, the bullpen look great again. I'm 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.560 also starting to totally resell myself on Wasascar Brosibon as 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.080 a trade chip just because he's like thirty six. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.560 Yeah, I mean, like, I know, he's got options and 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.880 he's free literally until he stops playing baseball in his forties, 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.680 but like, yeah, probably if you get anything of value 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:18.840 for him, you probably move him. 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.360 Probably, That's the point. And also just the overwhelming sadness 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:23.880 of watching Horiy Planco trying to hit. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.280 Well, That's what I was gonna bring up. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.600 He plays, Marcus Simian makes baseball look hard, Hori Polanco 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.920 makes it look like he hasn't played baseball in decades. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.200 Market uh Hojrae Polonco. Looks like if Jed Lowry was 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.040 trying to play through all of his injuries instead of 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.960 getting surgeries for Latino, Jed Lowry kind of but like 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.560 at least he's him, He's on the field again. We 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.720 don't know the nature, the really specific nature and the 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.080 pain level of each of their injuries, but. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.440
