Twenty twenty two 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Mets season is over. They lost to the Podgers and 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: the wild card series. 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: It sucks, sucks really bad. 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 3: It sucks that they lost, and it sucks how they lost. 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 3: Get think just one hit? 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they just got beat. I got beat. 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 2: The Potters played good baseball. 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: Mets did not. 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: They didn't hit, they didn't really pitch that well. It 13 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: was just I mean, it was a poorly played series 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: at the worst time of the year. Unfortunately, Like there's 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: not We're pretty good at sugarcoating a lot of things. 16 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 4: I think it's kind of part for the chorus. But 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 4: the two most important series of the year, the Mets did. 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 3: Not play well. 19 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 4: No, lost four of the last six, five of the 20 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 4: last six important games and oh yeah five yeah, yeah. 21 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: Just I didn't see it coming. I didn't see it coming. 22 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 3: Thought it was possible. 23 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I thought it was possible, but I really 24 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: did think that at least if they were gonna lose, 25 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: it was gonna be a little bit closer. I thought 26 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: this series would be free, like yeah, four to three, five, three, 27 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: save opportunity. Yeah, there was not a save opportunity in 28 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: the series. Was Oh, technically yes, get a save. I 29 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: guess Oh wow, seven too, we gotta save. 30 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean. 31 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: Three. 32 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: We are now about an hour after the game ended. Yeah, 33 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: and the game had been over at that point for hours, 34 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: like a couple hours already, just because there wasn't really 35 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 2: much juice or energy hits, We're gonna be kind of reflective. 36 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: I guess this episode it's gonna be short. You guys, 37 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: I know it's like rubbing salt in the woe listening 38 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: to this. 39 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: But yeah, shout out to everyone after actually listening to that. 40 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, we appreciate you, guys. 41 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 3: Only thing hard in recording this is listening to it. 42 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: Not a fun one. Not a fun one. 43 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's so disappointing that what should have 44 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: been an amazing, amazing, amazing series truly does go down 45 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: as a bit of a failure. 46 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: It's just such an unsatisfying finish. Yeah, it was like, actually, 47 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 4: like objectively a very good season. Literally, this team it's 48 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: gonna go down as like one of those awful things 49 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 4: you're in here forever. 50 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: They just had a team of the second most wins 51 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: in franchise history. It's miserable. 52 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: They couldn't get out of the wild card. 53 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: No, got it. You got stuck in the wildcard. 54 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, got stuck in it. 55 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 4: Eleven to twelve games better than this Padres team in 56 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 4: the regular season, they're playing pass you. The Phillers are 57 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 4: still gonna be playing baseball Braves. The Pheelers are playing 58 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 4: the Braves in the series, and someone's gonna win. 59 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: Wing. Tip your cap to the Padres. They came out. 60 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: I just I just played better that hungry. 61 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: They were hungry, they wanted it. 62 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: Felt like they wanted it a little bit more that 63 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 2: they were just a little more sharp keyed in, a 64 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: little more aggressive, a little more keyed in. I mean, 65 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: you saw the pro postgame conferences. You saw the stuff 66 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: that was being said after the. 67 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Series is over. 68 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: Body language, body language was definitely better on the Padres side. 69 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: Even in the game that they were losing, they were 70 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: they didn't they didn't seem dead. 71 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 4: They fought literally till the end. They got time run 72 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 4: to the play in the game. They're losing, what seven 73 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 4: to one? 74 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, seven to one. I don't know, I don't I 75 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: don't really know. 76 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: What Teama scored first, won every game. 77 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, the team was a starting pitcher who made it, 78 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 4: passed the sixth inning one every game. Yeah, it's like 79 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: it's just very cut and dry. There's no else played 80 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 4: di sect this. 81 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: I know people probably want to talk about the musk 82 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: Grove thing too. Yeah, it's kind of a moot point 83 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: when you get those. 84 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there was a lot of discourse about 85 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 4: on Twitter, So I guess we'll just say a few 86 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 4: I don't know, like because you're shiny and if like 87 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 4: I know, Vasilyn isn't the thing that enhanced the spin. 88 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 4: But a lot of times I've heard I forgot who 89 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 4: said this, someone said in a podcast last year in 90 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: Nino Sarah's article. But a lot of times when pitchers 91 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 4: do have substances on them, they'll use different substances for 92 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 4: different things. Like the spider attack is good for your 93 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 4: fastball and you're slider because you want more spin. But 94 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: a pitch like a sinker and a change up two 95 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 4: pitches that Joe Musgrove does throw, Yeah, killing the spin 96 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: on those pitches. So if you touch rub per pitch, 97 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 4: then you get a new ball and you start over. 98 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: It could help those pitches. 99 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 4: But also it doesn't matter at all, just just we're 100 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 4: just just talking. 101 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like they checked them, they did, Yeah, 102 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: they didn't find anything. 103 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: So became it was a weird moment. 104 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: It was a weird moment being here. 105 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: I think that really would have turned the tide too, 106 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: if you would have gotten ejected a little bit. 107 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: The crafts are getting into it's only four nothing at 108 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: the time. It's just couldn't hit. 109 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 1: It was weird. It was a weird, weird game from 110 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: the start. 111 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: I felt like everyone thought it was a seven thirty 112 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: start really, like, not. 113 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: That people were here until seven thirty. I thought it 114 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: was seven thirty start until like five o'clock. 115 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't know it was I've seen It's 116 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: also hard. 117 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 4: With these night games here because as we know from 118 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: living in New Jersey, there's not that many trains that 119 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: run back in New Jersey after a certain times night, 120 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 4: even Saturday night. As great as that game was, a 121 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: lot of people people in our sex we're talking about 122 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 4: having to leave, yeah, because you're gonna miss the last 123 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: train out of Newark. 124 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm sure. 125 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 4: There's different schedules out to different places in Long Island too, 126 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 4: and stuff. 127 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: It's Connecticut. Yeah, I don't know. 128 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: I uh, this is now the second time I've seen 129 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: a team celebrate at Cityfield, because I was at the 130 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: Royals Mets World Series in twenty fifteen. 131 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: Two teams I've ever celebrated to they Field. 132 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, Might's have not yet done it. The Royals one. 133 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. 134 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: It felt different because it was like, Wow, the World Series, 135 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: we made the World Series. This is a team that 136 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: was like out of it halfway through the year, and 137 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: then they got one guy with cespades. But this this 138 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: one leaves a bad days in the mouth. I'm not 139 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: gonna lie. 140 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 4: I mean, it's interesting to think about that point you 141 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: just made, because if you look at the teams that 142 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 4: are still in the DS right now. 143 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: I read that tweet yesterday. 144 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: I no, like half these teams were under five hundred 145 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: one June first was the tweet. Even the Padres themselves, 146 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 4: while they started off very hot, they lulled at the 147 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: end of the season. I mean they they they looked 148 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 4: like a lock. They're they're overrunning before season ninety and 149 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 4: a half. Ways, it looks like a lock for that July. 150 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 4: They completely faltered August and then got decent against September. 151 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: Kind of the opposite of the Mets. 152 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 4: It's like it's like all these phrases you think about 153 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: and it kind of range shrew like the peaking too early. 154 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just hot at the right time. Yeah, 155 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: that's it. 156 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta get hot the right time. I mean, 157 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: we talked about with the postseason. We talked about it 158 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: on this podcast earlier in the year. 159 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 4: The Phillies, the Phillies fire Joe Girardi and now they're blazing. 160 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 161 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: Man, talk about Robin Salt and the wound that team 162 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: still play and really stinks noise. I think they're either 163 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: cleaning dishes or make an ice cream. Sounds like an 164 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: ice cream. Oh right now I can't even eat it, 165 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 2: but I eat it. 166 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go home. We probably something disgusting. 167 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: Just go play Marbn's room, hit hit up a bodega, 168 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 2: listen to some music. I'm just saying you could have 169 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: done better, could have done so much better, should have 170 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: really should have done so much better. I mean, I 171 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: don't like the words should there because not like they 172 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: should have done better. 173 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: It's like you kind of played how you played like 174 00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: this team. 175 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 4: Okay, that's fair, you know. I mean I felt like 176 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 4: the word should. In general, it just doesn't feel like 177 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 4: this is the end. That's the worst part, unfulfilled. 178 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: Based on how they played against the Padres, they shouldn't 179 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: have done better, That's what I mean. Yes, but I think, 180 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 2: you know, this team should have performed better. 181 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 3: The team had a higher, higher ceiling on. 182 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: What they showed a thousand. I think that's like, I'm 183 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: not even mad. I'm not at the point of mad. 184 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 3: I wasn't mad before. I'm getting more mad. 185 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: She's disappointing. Maybe talking about making me more mad's just disappointing. 186 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: It's like it's like it's just. 187 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 4: So sad that like for a whole series, like wants 188 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 4: so they'll do like nothing to you. And basically you 189 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 4: see Trent Grisham and Austin Nola and like him from 190 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 4: the moment this game started. Made a great play first 191 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: ending he was all over the field. He went back 192 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 4: on the Nemo pop up with that ball, bloops in 193 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: for a hit. 194 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 3: Literally the whole game. 195 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: Changes him, got a great jump on it, made a 196 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: couple of other nice plays. He got some walks, Frank 197 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: Grisham made another, made another impact, amazing catch right center 198 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 2: against can. 199 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: And there was wasn't a nemo shot, Tom, I think 200 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: of something else. 201 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: I think you might be thinking of something else. What 202 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: it was just nothing like there's a there's a yours. 203 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: You were a team that was pesky all year, got 204 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: base hits, wing and needed them put them ball, and 205 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 4: the other team, the team actually did that to you. 206 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: We did say in the preview that these two teams 207 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 4: were built kind of similarly. Yeah, these were contact oriented teams. 208 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 4: I think the mentally had seven strikeouts in Game three. Now, yeah, 209 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: Chris Bassett didn't really miss any bats. He didn't, I 210 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 4: don't know. It just balls found holes behind him. There 211 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 4: was a weird play where there was no shift on 212 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 4: Josh Bellence stuck one throw. 213 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: It's just like, I don't know. 214 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: We really needed someone to step up, stepped up. 215 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: Did he had a good series? 216 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: Unfortunately it was Yeah, games were over, but someone had 217 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: to pick someone up. 218 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a better thing. 219 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: Nobody there was not a lot of picking each other up, 220 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: which is a big baseball term. 221 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: Uh, it's just you know. 222 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: When when someone falters like Chris Bassett didn't have a 223 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: great start, but hey, the Mets have picked him up 224 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: all year, they've scored runs they didn't today. 225 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: Jeff McNeil's first strikeout in like three weeks. I know, 226 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 3: believe that anyon went wrong. 227 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: I know, we hit the base and it pops right 228 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: to will Will Myers. It couldn't bounce left, couldn't bounce right, 229 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 2: couldn't bounce over his head. 230 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: It was just right to him once with a bunt 231 00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: in it. 232 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: Worked And I know, oh god, how awful is that? 233 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 3: Seeing wants of the bunt.
