00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: It looks very like tropical.

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Well, now forrest, we're lustier. We're in the jungle. I'm

00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Because there's a lot a lot of Mets stuff going on.

15
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: But it's been wonderful here. It's like it's so hot,

16
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: like I don't think I've ever experienced heat like this

17
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: in my entire life. Like it's one hundred degrees with

18
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: like eighty percent humidity. Like you walk outside, you regret

19
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: even wearing a shirt for a second. I have bizarre

20
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: tand lines all over my body from things I never

21
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: have ever expected to get tann lines from over this week,

22
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: like you know how, just just just to have some

23
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: fun with the listeners for a few minutes before all

24
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: all the sad stuff. You know that like belt bag

25
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: I wear, like that side bag, I wear this cloud

26
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: so I wearing that. We were biking around a lot

27
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: on Friday and it was just hot. I was biking.

28
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: I was like, if I bike for eight seconds in

29
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: this shirt, it's gonna be rendered useless, Like it's gonna

30
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: be just dripping in sweat. So just take off the shirt,

31
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: hangout bike had the belt bag. When I got back

32
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: on Thursday night and Friday night, I have the most

33
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: insane line through my back from that belt bag, just

34
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: complete line of white through the red all over my back.

35
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: I got crazy tanlines and sandals on my feet. It's

36
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: the heat here is amazing, beautiful place though amazing food.

37
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: I think I've had like two hundred tacos in seventy

38
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: two hours. It's amazing. But yeah, now I guess the mats.

39
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'll talk about London real quick. That

40
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: the hotel still doesn't have air conditioning. We're in a

41
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: new one for this one, and it's just so insanely hot.

42
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: I've spoke to everyone though. It's very common to not

43
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: have AC in the hotels just because they don't really

44
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: need it for ten months out of the year, so

45
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a waste outside. Like if there

46
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: was a balcony where I could sleep, I'd be sleeping

47
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: outside every single night. It's been great, like sixty five,

48
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: but that cold air will just not come through the

49
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: window because they only let you open a crack. Only

50
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: let you open a crack. The fan's not doing anything.

51
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: It's my complaints. It's my complaints. I need to get

52
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 1: it out there. I've been saying it to my friends.

53
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm here with every day. I'm like, next year the

54
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Mets are in London. There's no shot we're getting a

55
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: hotel without air conditioning. We are getting the AC. I'm

56
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: not doing this again. This is I'll never take air

57
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: conditioning for granted again again. Even if it's seventy five,

58
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: I'll use it. It's the best. But enough about our

59
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: hotel problems. And I mean, well, you have good problems.

60
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: I have hot problems here.

61
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: But let's go ahead, and uh it's a dream, but yeah.

62
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about this Mets series here. Of course,

69
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: as the season has gone on more and more, I mean,

70
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: this is a tough series. This is a tough series.

71
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: There's no way around it, especially to lose the way

72
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: that we did in Game three, which was a bit

73
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: of just rip your heart out of your chest. It

74
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: was a tough one. Nothing's really been going great. It's

75
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: been difficult in Mets warks World, and you know, the

76
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: season is not getting any short or it's not getting

77
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: any longer, so it's gonna have to turn around soon.

78
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they do. I mean, there's like Lindor

79
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: swinging the bat. Well, Lindor seems to be a little

80
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: bit back to where we can expect them to be,

81
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: but like man, it feels hard to even pull out

82
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: like the Positives without like talking about the real elf

83
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: in the room, which is that we are struggling.

84
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: No, it's struggling really bad. You look at the series

85
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: as a whole, like the two games you lost were

86
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: mostly due to the unforced errors, miscommunications, not not lack of execution,

87
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: Like the way the bullpen imploded on Sunday was just

88
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: it felt it felt like a fever dream.

89
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: It was.

90
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: It was just it's just ridiculous. It was terrible. It

91
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: was just so hard, so hard to watch this team

92
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: right now. It's difficult to take in these games, and

93
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: and and and I see a path forward, especially as

94
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: you said, like every single series, the season gets that

95
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: much shorter. This was another series where you're playing against

96
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: a team that you are chasing, a team that the

97
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: Mets have, who's the Mets have had their number for

98
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: the last couple of years now. And to lose in

99
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: the way you do when you you you you implode

100
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: it in and you only you only give one hit, It's

101
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: like where where where do you go from here?

102
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean in Game three too, like Brett Baty

103
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: had that tough play with the error and the tough

104
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: throat to McNeil where the ball kind of got stuck

105
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: in his hand and that extended the inning a little

106
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: bit more, and then Brigham hit some guys and it's like,

107
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: I gotta say it, it's you can't put the blame

108
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: on any one player, any one person. It's just like

109
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: as a whole, the team simply just like has to

110
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: play better. And I feel like this team should be better.

111
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: They need to play better. It's just when is it

112
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: gonna happen right now?

113
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: I mean shout out though that specific instance, just to

114
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: be more general talking about this, Like Brett Bay said

115
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: to Tim Healy, this loss is completely on me, and

116
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 2: it's pretty unbelievable that someone who's still rookie in this

117
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: league in their early twenties is taking such incredible accountability.

118
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: And Jeff Brigham didn't ploade you guys. You guys know

119
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: how much I love Jef Brigham. He completely fell apart

120
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: in the nything. He was he like the hit bass

121
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: the College forber hit Bastan of two strikes was after

122
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: the strike of Cody Clements, even after the er was

123
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: such a gut punch.

124
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like it's it's the thing that we've

125
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: been saying, but like there's nobody dogging it. There's no

126
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: one not playing hard. There's no one who's not trying.

127
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: It looks like like nobody doesn't care. Like they all

128
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: very much care a lot. This is their job. A

129
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: lot of guys are like fighting to get you know,

130
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: bigger contracts, get more money, whatever it's going to be

131
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: on this team. And I know that they know that

132
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: they should be playing better. It's we start seeing it

133
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: on the field, like that's just kind of how it is,

134
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: like as many mistakes as have been made, super cliche,

135
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: but it's like we got to be able to put

136
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: this past us now because it's what how many games

137
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: into the season are we right now? We're like close

138
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: to eighty.

139
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: Right, that's a thirty five and forty two, which is

140
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: seventy seven.

141
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: So we're close to the halfway point. And the Mets

142
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: are seven ish games under five hundred, a bit back

143
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: in the Wildcard, very much back in the National League East.

144
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot of time to continue the

145
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: quality of play that has been happening. I think this

146
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: team has players that can definitely turn her around, that

147
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: can make this performance or turn these performances into wins.

148
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: Think about how many games recently have been very winnable,

149
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: and it's just like one or two little things couldn't

150
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: go our way, we didn't execute or whatever it was.

151
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, in another world, the Mets

152
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: are playing maybe okay baseball right now, but it's it's

153
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: got to happen soon. It's got to happen soon, and

154
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: ire they're pushing. They're pushing for sure.

155
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: No, and that that is the most frustrating part about

156
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 2: this entire stretch of baseball is that the Mets continue

157
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: to play these games where it feels like they're in

158
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: a good position to win them, and it feels like

159
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: games that the team we knew in love last year

160
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: will have won them. Like Sunday, the Mets got to

161
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: Zack Wheeler. Met's got nine hits Zack wheel in less

162
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: than six innings. Could carryover effect from last year. The

163
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: Mets hit Zack Wheeling incredibly well. After really struggling with

164
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: Wheeler his first year two years in Philadelphias, you're like, yeah, okay,

165
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: six to three lead, like we got it, and even

166
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: going back to the game on Friday night, like you're

167
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: like you're getting you gotta goot. Pitching performance from Code

168
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: I sank after played disastrous first sinning, he really settles

169
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: in nicely. A couple of times this year he's done

170
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: that after those slow starts. And then Nemo weirdly dropped

171
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: that ball to let the flug Gets open the first inning,

172
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: and then he hit the home run later, which I

173
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: think that's the weird thing that Brandon Nemo loves to do,

174
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 2: where if he does like make a mistake like his

175
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: his like disappointedness himself and his focus like magnifies and

176
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: he does something great later in the game. I think

177
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: he had a big hit the Yank game after he

178
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: dropped the pop up as well, or like last month,

179
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: but not last month, that was like two weeks ago.

180
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: Like see how the time like time is moving. I'm like,

181
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: what the heck. But then you have that weird miscommunication

182
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: between fam and lind Or where the same and also

183
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: same thing as Beaty on Sunday, where Francisco going through

184
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: went to the mediating to complete full responsibility of that ball.

185
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: He was like, that's on me, like there's a man

186
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: on third. We had miscommunication. I always tell my outfielders

187
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: that's my ball, like unless I'm unless, unless they can

188
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: really call me off. And he went for it hard,

189
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: and he was like that's totally fine, Like that's okay,

190
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: no big deal. But it's just it's just always just

191
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: something some push and pull that's going on here. It's

192
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: not it's not easy. It's not easy to play put

193
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: these plays together to win these games like it felt

194
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: last year.

195
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah no, And I gotta say, like, I didn't expect

196
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: to be having these kind of episodes on June twenty fifth,

197
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: like when we're recording this, I didn't expect to be

198
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: in this having these conversations like what what do we

199
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: do from here? What go what's next? How do they

200
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: how do they get to where they were? Because we

201
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: know how great last season was and it was probably

202
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: going to be impossible to be as good as it

203
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: was last year in the regular season. That has nothing

204
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: to do with even what the team was. It's just

205
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: like winning one hundred and gate one hundred plus games

206
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: is like, really really hard. It doesn't happen often, but

207
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: to be as far back as they are, it really stinks.

208
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: I know you Mets fans at home feel it, like

209
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: everybody feels everybody feels it. Nobody's feeling great right now.

210
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: Nobody is feeling good about this one, But I don't know,

211
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: like there's I mean even still, like we're gonna pull

212
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: some positives obviously from some of the stuff that's happening too.

213
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and start talking about some of

214
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: the games a little bit more in depth now. Game

215
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: one we talked about, you know, some of the big

216
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: moments code I sang on the mound going up against

217
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker. The mess didn't really hit Taiwan as well,

218
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: Like there just wasn't a lot of offense there. One

219
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: run scored. Taiwan's doing that thing where he gets hot

220
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of the year right before the All

221
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Star break, ran into him, and we just we didn't

222
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: score more runs in the Phillies like there was obviously

223
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: with the plays that happened that altered this game a

224
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: little bit. But at the end of the day, like

225
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: just just got to hit more. Those games are gonna happen.

226
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: It just feels worse when the team is struggling.

227
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely some one thing that the positive pull from

228
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: this game was nice to hear Wayne Rendazo announce the

229
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: Mets game. Yes, ms Wayne old friend of the program,

230
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: just great guy thatways see around the ballpark and he's

231
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: having a great season announcing Angels games out there as

232
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: that team gets more exciting. I guess, actually that's kind

233
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: of a segue. Maybe we should talk about what happened

234
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: before this game.

235
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about it. That's actually a good point.

236
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the trade that happened between the Mets

237
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: and the Angels.

238
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: Mets and the Angels made trade Friday afternoon, just before

239
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: this game began, and Mets sent Edward the Westcobar to

240
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Anaheim. I guess for two pitching prospects, Coleman

241
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: Crow and Landon Marsau. And I don't think it can

242
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: be lost. What how I mean, how much fun at

243
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: where the west Cobar was as a member of the Mets.

244
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: I remember when the signing happened. You were incredibly excited

245
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: when your favorite players around the league. He's just he's

246
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: always had some of the best vibes in professional baseball.

247
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 2: He brought that like in like in spades to the

248
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: New York Mets clubhouse and organization like he like the

249
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: folk with the Chow story is gonna go down to

250
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: Mets lore for years to come. We're gonna hear about

251
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: that forever. S and y is gonna keep that clip

252
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: going every single year when it happens. When they had

253
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: those little his party early last year for his ten

254
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: years of service time and he had like his big

255
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: bottle like that was just a great moment for like

256
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: players like you know, getting guarantee your pension there. Shout

257
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: out also to the Mets social media team, like because

258
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 2: all the tiktoks with Edward the West Cobar over the

259
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: last year have been so so incredible and just like

260
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: the bits that they were able to build out with

261
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: him were like two more minutes, five more minutes, ten minutes.

262
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: I come back in ten minutes. I think it's something

263
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: I come back like. It's just it was great content

264
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: he was. He was so much fun on and off

265
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: the field. On the field, I always remember that cycle

266
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: he hit for the Midnight Mets in San Diego. Mets

267
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: first cycled in ten years back when uh, since Scott

268
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 2: Harrison did into the twenty twelve. It's a fun player

269
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: if he's a he had a fun little year and

270
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: a half with the Mets and one that one that

271
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: I don't think i'll forget many times soon.

272
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean EDWARDO Escobar will be one of those

273
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: guys that, like you said, we always remember as Mets fans,

274
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: like just a genuinely good dude. I'll tell like, one

275
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite stories personally with Eduardo was when I

276
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: was at the World Baseball Classic watching Venezuela versus Israel.

277
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything like we've obviously seen EDWARDO a

278
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: couple of times, said hello, very nice guy in person,

279
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: but you sometimes like, unless you meet a guy, You're like,

280
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna know who I am. He's not

281
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna remember me any of that kind of stuff. And

282
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm standing up behind the dugout. He looks at me

283
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: and goes, hey, man, what's up? And I'm like me,

284
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: are you pointing at me? Like I did like a

285
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: double take, like are you sure? Like looking around? Is

286
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: there someone else? He's like, yeah, man, you, how are

287
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: you doing? Thanks for coming. I'm like, oh, dude, Like

288
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: that to me is so cool that even though we've

289
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: basically had no interactions just from seeing us, like around

290
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: the stadium, around the field, the fact that he felt

291
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: like the need to say hello or he wanted to

292
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: say hello, just shows you how good of a guy

293
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: he is, how good of a teammate he was. Everybody

294
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: always had the incredible, incredible things to say about him,

295
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: the stories that you hear just like you know from

296
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: teammates and stuff. He's He's an awesome dude. We're gonna

297
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: miss him, but of course wish them the best out

298
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with the Angels. Go make the playoffs

299
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: with the Angels. I'd love to see Mike Trout and

300
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: Otanny play some September or October baseball, which would be

301
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: very very cool. Let's talk about those prospects though, that

302
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: we got back. Coleman Crow, Landon Marsau, you're the pitching guy.

303
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna have a little something for me

304
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: on both of these guys. I'm sure Landa Marso I

305
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: believe was an LSU draft pick out of maybe twenty nineteen.

306
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Coleman Crow came out of where exactly, do you know?

307
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a lot on Coleman Crow because Coleman

308
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: Crow is just someone who I've been aware of for

309
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: the last about year. Is just as playing in my

310
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: very very deep dynasty. Leagues just always want to find

311
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 2: those pitching prospects. You're gonna be the next guy to

312
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: jump up a list and He's had a very very

313
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: interesting path to this point as a minor league player.

314
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: First of all, he was he was kind of a lanky,

315
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: a lanky's coming out of high school five ten hundred

316
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: and sixty pounds short stop pitcher, Georgia boy down there.

317
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: He was committed to Kenosaw State actually, and the Angels

318
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: draft him the twenty eighth round of twenty nineteen, which

319
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: you see, like a twenty eighth round draft pick who's

320
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: five point ten, one sixty five soaking wet, You're probably

321
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: not going to think very much of him, especially when

322
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: he only tops out like in the in the low nineties.

323
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: But as a twenty eighth round pick, the Angels gave

324
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: him a three hundred and seventeen thousand dollars signing bonus

325
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: in in twenty nineteen, and that's kind of ridiculous, especially

326
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: because that's like comparable to like the slight value of

327
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick. And it actually makes sense when

328
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: I looked at it, got into deep into that draft

329
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: board last night because he actually got the fifth highest

330
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: signing bones for any Angel in the twenty nineteen class.

331
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: So the Angels kind of took him very late because

332
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people assumed as he dropped

333
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: in the draft he wasn't going to come out, and

334
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: they actually did get in the sign He was their

335
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: sixth latest player draft that did wind up signing with them,

336
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: and the latest that was a high schooler, So they

337
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: definitely saw something out of him. And I think the

338
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: big thing to saw I have of him, which I

339
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: see out of him when I pitch, is that he

340
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: is just a stupendous athlete. Stupendous athlete on the mounth

341
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: he is so like compact and powerful and athletic, and

342
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: he can like he's a great quote from the Fangrass

343
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: right up of the Angel System from only about a

344
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 2: week ago, which is very very timely, which I appreciate.

345
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: He's really a fantastic on mound athlete who can repeat

346
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: his mechanics with robotic consistency. And I think when you

347
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: watch him that's the number one thing you can see.

348
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: And that even makes it more perplexing because when he

349
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: was drafted in twenty nineteen out of high school, he

350
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: went straight to their complex, didn't play any professional games.

351
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: Then twenty twenty happened. He lost basically two years of

352
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: playing professional baseball. Draft in twenty nineteen. He did not

353
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: throw a professional pitch until twenty twenty one, and then

354
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: he had an okay season down there in a ball

355
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: for the A's and they sent him right to the

356
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: Arizona Fall League. After that, the Arizona Fall League we

357
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: were at twenty twenty one. He was the youngest pitcher

358
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: there at twenty years old, and he had a one

359
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: to five to nine ERA and one to zero whip

360
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: in seventeen innings. So incredibly aggressive they put him there.

361
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: But in putting him there that year, they kind of said,

362
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: you're someone who we think could be a major league

363
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: pitcher sooner rather than later. And the way he started

364
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: that this season, it kind of felt like that was

365
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: going to happen. We've seen how aggressive the Angels have

366
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: been with all of their prospects over the last year

367
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: and a half as they try to push all their

368
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: chips in as this last year of Joheo, Tony's first

369
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: contract with Sam Bachman. We've seen Ben Joyce come up

370
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: Zach Netto right after the draft. It's pretty a great

371
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: same what they're doing. And the way Crow started this

372
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: year looked like he was going to be another member

373
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: of that Cohort. He only made four starts of the year.

374
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: We had thirty six percent strike out rate, seven percent

375
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: walk grade, fifteen percent swing strike rate. Those were some

376
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: of the best marks in the Eastern League. Then he

377
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: went in the IL and met with elbow inflammation and

378
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: there hasn't really been much said about him since. And

379
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: just by watching him this year and like reading some

380
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: scouts reports on him, his stuff is so unbelievably legit.

381
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: It's like not even funny even at his sides with

382
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: his levels of velocity. We should bear in mind that

383
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: in the Southern League this year they were using the

384
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: new enhanced grip baseballs the MLB's experimenting with, and we've

385
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: seen guys like Andrew Rabbit and Ben Brown, who I

386
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: think we've talked about briefly in this podcast run up

387
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: really incredible high strike out numbers and low walk numbers

388
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: with that. But Crow's walk and strike out numbers are

389
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: basically the same as those guys, getting a lot more

390
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: a couple more call strikes in them and a little

391
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: less swing strikes, but still the same results. At the

392
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: end of the day, he has what is very enviable

393
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: right now from starting pitchers in baseball where he has

394
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: that low arm slot fastball with an incredibly flat vertical approach.

395
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: Angle you guys in the YouTube, I'm coming in very

396
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: flat to the camera right now in my hand, if

397
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: you can see that, and that creates this incredible, incredible, incredible, rising, writhing,

398
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: hopping action on his forcing fastball which allows it to

399
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: really stay out of danger and get a lot of

400
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: the wits, even topping out ninety two or ninety three

401
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: miles an hour. So that even though in itself right

402
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: there having those physics, is pissed that fastball on a

403
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: whole different level, especially with that velocity. But the best

404
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: thing that he has is two really distinct and really

405
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: really disgusting breaking balls, a curveball and a slyther. They're

406
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: both genuinely nasty. I threw up a tweet Sunday morning,

407
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: if you guys want to check out. I found a

408
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: long video from earlier this year about someone basically just

409
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: going through all of Coleman Crow's pitches and he even

410
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: has a change up that's coming along and his calling card.

411
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: All the scouts have always SAIDs Been's command, so he's

412
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: able to work both sides of the play. High loan

413
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: the zone fastballs, change ups, break balls. He's I really

414
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: think if we can get if we can figure out

415
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: what's going on with with his elbow issue like that,

416
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: He's someone who is high potential, high floor, and probably

417
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: a really really, really good get for this organization.

418
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: No, I love that, And I mean being able to

419
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: flip Eduardo Escobar, guy who again we liked him, but

420
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: like relatively speaking, Brett Baity, he plays third base for

421
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: this team. He is the future and edwardo Eskbar has

422
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: an expiring contract probably wasn't coming back if we had

423
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: to take a guess, So being able to flip him

424
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: for a couple pitching prospects that could make an impact

425
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: at some point, I mean, that's that's a really good move.

426
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: That's a really good move. I know, like you know,

427
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: people on all over Twitter have different takes here and there,

428
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: but your breakdown of Cole mcrow is really good. And

429
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: I know because you spoke to me in the past,

430
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: like what you said about that being a little bit

431
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: of a shorter guy is actually kind of something people

432
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: are looking for now with the pitchers. Kind I'm not

433
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: going to compare him to Spencer Strider in terms of

434
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: like stuff like that, because that's not fair. But the

435
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: idea of like that shorter lower armslaught or whatever that

436
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: you were saying, and that perceived like less drop on

437
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: his fastball because he's smaller, is something you see with

438
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: a guy like Spencer Strider that allows him to be

439
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: so successful. He throws ninety nine, but still ninety two

440
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: ninety three, like you said, getting those swings with whiffs

441
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: and getting those strikeouts that he did the minor leagues

442
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: is still very impressive almost more honestly with that kind

443
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: of thing totally.

444
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: And the term is a flat it's a flat approchangle.

445
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: It's an a proch angle that gets on the hithers

446
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: fast and he gives you that rising action and it

447
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: is very enviable what he's starting out at here. And

448
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 2: something else we've seen from this Mets pitching development in

449
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: this past year as guys have added VLocity. So if

450
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: he can even add a tick while maintaining his mechanics

451
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: and staying healthy, if he can go from like ninety

452
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: three to ninety five rather ninety one to ninety three,

453
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: like you could be looking at a potential like star here,

454
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: that's amazing. We also should talk about Landon Marceau.

455
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: He is.

456
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 2: He's definitely not the same upside in pedigree as Crow,

457
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: but he is someone who is at least can probably

458
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: give you major league ginnings and not be overmatched. He's

459
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: fastball is not special. It sits around ninety, but similar

460
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 2: to Crow, he has two distinct breaking balls, distinct more

461
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: so in velocity. They have basically the same shape. It's

462
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: more of a gyro slider, but it has a little

463
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: bit sweep and his curve ball is also a little

464
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: bit sweepy, but they have such they have, like their

465
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: almost ten different ten mile a narrow differential in velocity,

466
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 2: so that helps him be good. He could probably do

467
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: this and not look out of place. And the one

468
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: thing I want to mention lastly about this trade that

469
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: I think is meaningful as this season progresses, is that

470
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: the Mets gave cash to the Angels. They're paying all

471
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: of Eduardo Estcobar salary besides the middle pro rated league

472
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: minimum that the team acquiring has to pay, and I

473
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: think that is meaningful because they got a good prospect

474
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: and another fine prospect out of it. So just like

475
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: using their own resources and dealing from strength, which is

476
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: having extra third basement and having like being able to

477
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: pay that for money like that. That's really important because

478
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: you got a guy in Cole McCrow who could if

479
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: things break right, like he has a toolbox to be

480
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: a major league starter, and he has upside past that

481
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: like that. Getting that for a half season Viduardo Escobar,

482
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: who by all accounts as is a league average either

483
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: who gets hot and he gets cold, who plays pretty

484
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: good defense, is a lot of fun to have in

485
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: the clubhouse. That could be a massive organizational win.

486
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. That's that's a good process right there.

487
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Love to see that Angel's been making a bunch of moves.

488
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: We know they got Mike Ustakis too. Has nothing to

489
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: do with the Mets, but just wanted to kind of

490
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: put a little bow tie on the end of this

491
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: Edward Escobar conversation. Again, Wish the best for Eddie. Hope

492
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: he does well. Hope hope he goes on a run

493
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: in the postseason with the Angels, and uh, you know

494
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: brings Mike shroun shootany to the postseason for us. But otherwise,

495
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: let's get back to the games here. Game two. We

496
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: did win this one, which was nice. Good to get

497
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: a w on the board. Definitely needed it. We need

498
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: to get you need to get a few more ws of,

499
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: especially with Game three.

500
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: So it does feel like Max really has turned the

501
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: corner after those early season struggles. I think a huge

502
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: part of that is again just having the consistency. His

503
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: ramp up this year was so weird. We've been saying

504
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 2: it basically all of the starts now, but it was.

505
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: It was really bizarre to start, stop and start and

506
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: stop again. And now that he's in a groove, you

507
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: could really feel that he's getting back to himself and

508
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: like Castillo's had a big home run off him, the

509
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: Philly Scratch one again, scratch went across in the fifth,

510
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: but Max really baared down to that out of it.

511
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 2: He got a great, a great strikeout on Bryce harperre

512
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: two men out with a little color that just darted

513
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: out of his own. Bryce was completely stupefied. And we

514
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: know that Bryce is a guy who doesn't chase very often,

515
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: and it was it was real, and he you saw

516
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: with the like the like kind of the great on

517
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: his face, like when someone gets Bryce Harper, he let

518
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: you know it like he's a very he's got he's

519
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: got a lot of gamesmanship about him, like he's he's

520
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: a really he's a really nice jerk. I guess kind

521
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: of the best way to grist Brice Harper, especially on

522
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: the baseball field. So he like gave a little green

523
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: and he was like, yeah, Max got me, and new

524
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: Max got me. But he got fastball in ninety seven.

525
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: Max schuers Are on Saturday, he sat in ninety four.

526
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: That was his primary pitch. His slyder wasn't as as

527
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: great as was his last start out in Houston, but

528
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: it was still very good. He did something cool I

529
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: thought Max Scherzer did in this one was he dropped

530
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: one slyly to a lefty the entire game, and it

531
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: was a two strike pitch that froz Kyle Schwarbur in

532
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: the first inning and got on a strike out backwards.

533
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: K and the final line six innings to earned eight strikeouts,

534
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: one walk, fourteen west. It was a great game. He

535
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: put him position to win. And then right after he

536
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: did give up that run in the fifth that tied

537
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: the game, the Mets jumped right back on the Phillies

538
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: in the top of the six and took one right back.

539
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: And it was kind of interesting how we even got

540
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 2: it because Pete he had the big game on Sunday.

541
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: He'd been really struggling his first week back off the

542
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: IL after the wrist injury. He had gotten in Atlanta

543
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: and he legged out like a fielder's choice to get

544
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 2: us to go ahead run. And you kind of felt

545
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: like that was a moment where he could like like relax,

546
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 2: get that, get that big hit. Yeah, get that, just

547
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 2: big playoff his chest, like get a win with not

548
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: his bat, like with his legs and like like putting

549
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: in a position to win with hustle definitely had him.

550
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: Feeling good one percent. Yeah, it's good to see Max

551
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: Schers are pitching well. It was good to see the

552
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: team swinging the bat. Well. Had a busy day too,

553
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: because I was at the London Series watching the Cubs

554
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: versus the Cardinals, and then got to watch the Mets game,

555
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: which a win is always nice. That's always a great

556
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: way to you know, wrap up a night for me.

557
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: It was good. That was a very clean game, Like

558
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: I felt very very good going into you know, game

559
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: three on Sunday. I was like a good pitching performance,

560
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: the offense showed up like things went well, this is

561
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: what can happen for us.

562
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: I also wanted to shout out Starring Marte the big

563
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: home run the first ending of this game to give

564
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: the Mets a lead. He has been so incredible in

565
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: his career at Citizens Bank Park. Are you ware he's

566
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: let's by Starling Marte? He nearly has a four hundred

567
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: batting average one seventy ops plus one of his highest

568
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: of any ballpark in the league, is highest of any

569
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: ballpark that he has more than ten games play. Then

570
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: it's he owns Business Bank Park. It was cool to

571
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: see him get that big hit. He's even started swinging

572
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: the bat much better. He's next these last few weeks

573
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: as well.

574
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: No one hundred percent. It feels like since he really

575
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: came back healthy, he's been swinging it a lot better.

576
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: I think his average was hovering around three hundred from

577
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: that point on. I know for the season it's not there,

578
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: but I know he was, like over a twenty game stretch,

579
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: I think he was hovering around three hundred, which is

580
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: the Starling Marte. Like, we know he's not going to

581
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: hit a lot of home runs, although he got the

582
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: one here, extra base hits here and there, but he's

583
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: gonna be hitting for average like he does. Setting up

584
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: that top of the lineup with Brandon Nemo, which is

585
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: good and you can see like when the guys at

586
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: the top performed, the Mets score runs, they win definitely.

587
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: And this game did the end with some great performances

588
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: by the bullpen Brooks Raley, who's been saving Grace's bullpoon

589
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: on year. Was amazing that David Robertson came in in

590
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: the eighth inning to clean up in a jam that

591
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: Adam Alavino got into, and then he he's a thirteen

592
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: pitch five out saved, Like could you even imagine that? Like,

593
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen a five out saved

594
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: that short like in my entire life. Very efficient, no never,

595
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: and he's been great series, one of the best relievers

596
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: in National League, like da I can't even imagine where

597
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 2: he would be that Robertson. Then he went to Sunday

598
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 2: after feeling good and you take a lead on Zach Wheeler.

599
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 2: Then we talked to everything about what happened there, and

600
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: it's just everything. Every time this team takes like five

601
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: steps forward, just feels like there's ten more steps back

602
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: and it's just got it. Like this guy, some something's

603
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: gonna happen soon, Like someth's gotta happen. Gotta find a.

604
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Way, I mean, gotta find a way. It was they

605
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: need a lot of the bullpens today because Carrasco did

606
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: not go deep into this one. And obviously the bullpen

607
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: is also hurting because there's the absence of Drew Smith

608
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: because of the sticky stuff so suspension, which then makes

609
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: the bullpen even shorter because you're not allowed to fill

610
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: that spot on the roster because of the suspension, so

611
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: you're now one less pitcher out there. We definitely felt,

612
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: it definitely felt in this one. It was just like

613
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: at one point we were trying to figure out who

614
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: could go out there, trying to scrap it all together,

615
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, piece it all together and try and figure

616
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: out how can we get to the ninth inning win

617
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: this game, and it just didn't end up working out.

618
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: Like you said, I mean, we don't need to harp

619
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: on it too much more. We kind of talked about

620
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: Game three at the beginning. It just it sucks, It

621
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: really sucks, like it stinks that when we go have

622
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: a lead like that going late into a game against

623
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: the division rival, a team that we're chasing, just can't

624
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: shut the door. It's it's it's hard. It's really hard.

625
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: It was really hard, and I do want to have

626
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: a call to action too with mess Up Listeners and

627
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: also just shout out again. Mark said before, but everyone,

628
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: you guys, comes back to this podcast when the team's

629
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: playing like this. We genuinely love you guys because this

630
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: is this is this podcast is incredibly fun to do.

631
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: But in times like this it can become a little

632
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: difficult because like everyone knows, like we do want to

633
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: like like the Metster is making a sad right now,

634
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: there's no other way to describe it. And like you

635
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: wish they were playing better. You know they can play better,

636
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: and it's hard. But the original Mess Up Listeners. We've

637
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: talked about our buddy Ernie on this show a lot.

638
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: I'm on this trip with him. We're having a great

639
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 2: time in Mexico together. But Ernie did something that is

640
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: really not okay last summer and Mark and I have

641
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: been struggling with how to talk to him about it,

642
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 2: and I want you guys to help us. So basically,

643
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: Ernie grew up He's Venezuela and grew up near Miami

644
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 2: and he became a big Marlins fan as they won

645
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: that World Series, and he was very young and he's Venezuela,

646
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: and Miguel Cabrera was the best player in the league

647
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: and he really loved him. So after Miguil Cobrera left,

648
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: he kind of lost his Marlins fandom in a way

649
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: and just kind of became a general baseball fan, but

650
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: still supported the Marlins more than anybody else. And now

651
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: he's lived in New York City for about six years.

652
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: Mark and I are some of his best friends. We

653
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: talk about the Mets. We go to tons of games.

654
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: We probably go to the fifteen twenty games with Mets

655
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: games with him a year. So basically in the middle

656
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: of last year he was like, guys, like I think

657
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: I'm becoming a Mets fan. And like, on the outside,

658
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: Mark and I are like, oh cool, You're becoming a

659
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 2: Mets fan, Like that's fun. But then the inside we

660
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 2: all know that you can't. You don't like become a

661
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: Mets fan, like you are a Mets fan, like this

662
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: is this is this is a cult, Like we're inside

663
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 2: of this. We are lifers, like we are Mets fans.

664
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: We are passionate, we are rabid, we are crazy, like

665
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: that is what we are that's what this team was

666
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: built on, just an incredible incessant fans who are just

667
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: ready to do anything they can for this team. So

668
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: Mark said that we were like cool, but I don't

669
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: think that's that cool. But we're not finding ways to

670
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: tell him. And like, as he's become a Mets fan,

671
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: now this is his first full year of being a

672
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: Mets fan, it's clearly some kind of curse, Like there's

673
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: a pox on this team and this roster, and it's

674
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: a big problem. So now we're getting to like a

675
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: fever pitch where it's like we can't let him continue

676
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: to be a Mets fan. And the inverse of this,

677
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: the funniest part is that in Miami Marlins, John's Miami

678
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: Marlins are having their best season in more than a decade,

679
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 2: almost like basically in twenty years. They're having their best

680
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: year right now, and he's not a party to it anymore.

681
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: He left them and they're doing great, and he came

682
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: to us and we have fallen down. So I want

683
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: to ask you guys. We asked you guys do this

684
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: a few years ago because he's just the biggest Jonathan

685
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: VR fan the world. He always loved Jonathan VR. He

686
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: literally customized a Mets jersey for Jonathan VR's name twenty

687
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty one, literally went the team store and did it. It

688
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: was an unbelievable thing. He has a video. But I

689
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: want you guys to help us, maybe try to convince

690
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 2: our friend Ernie to like the Marlins again. So whatever

691
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: the Marlins are playing well, anytime they do good things,

692
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: I want you guys to hit him up on Twitter

693
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: and his Twitter. I'm gonna say a few times slowly

694
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: for you, is at sub tape underscore. That's sub ta

695
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: pe underscore, sub tape underscore, and just really casually, just

696
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: just send him cool Marlins highlights. Maybe tell him how

697
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: well the Marlins are doing right now, just like Juri

698
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: Perez being one of the best pitchers in the league,

699
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: Luise Rise hitting four hundred, tell him, tell him about

700
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: how many great things to go to that Marlins team.

701
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe we can just get him back to

702
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: that team and save this season. I'm calling on you

703
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: guys to do it, so please let let me know.

704
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ernie's a I love the kid, love the case.

705
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Is a sweetheart. He would never do anything to hurt anyone,

706
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: but moyo boy, is he a mush right now. He's

707
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: such a mush. It's it's crazy how bad he's mushed.

708
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: And you like, like you said, we did that entire

709
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: episode last year going over like how to reverse bad luck,

710
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. We're trying anything, We're trying anything

711
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: in our power to get the juju going in the

712
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: right direction so that this season can turn around. Because

713
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: we've said a couple of times, there's not many games.

714
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: The games aren't getting longer. There isn't much more season

715
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna exist after tomorrow, the next day, it gets

716
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: shorter and shorter. Need to turn around soon. Maybe maybe

717
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: it's Ernie's fault. I'd like to blame Ernie. And you

718
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: know what, I think he'd be okay with it. He's

719
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: a fan of the podcast. I'm sure he's happy that

720
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: we're we're talking about him at least.

721
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. But again, I don't think he's listen

722
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: to this because we're on vacation. He's gonna miss this episode.

723
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: There's a great time for all of you listeners to

724
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: just get in and just hit him up. Hit him

725
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: up with some Marlin's highlights, like if you find Luisa

726
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: Ry's graphic be like, Wow, this is amazing. How much

727
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: fun of the Marlins or your pres Oh my gosh,

728
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: twenty years old. Look how low the ra is. Just

729
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: like any anytime you see a highlight of video anything,

730
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: just tagment it, tagam in it, or just send it

731
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: right to him.

732
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: And it could be killing two birds with one stone.

733
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: Met's play better, Marlins play worse. I'm in there going,

734
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm in on that exactly.

735
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: I mean that, that's my that's my goal. My ambition

736
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 2: here is with a blessing for this Mets team. They're

737
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 2: not We're not playing the Marlins until Aaron Rodgers is

738
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: gonna played two games for the Jets.

739
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: But all right, let's go ahead, and uh, let's bring

740
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: in John here to do the estimate for us for

741
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: this upcoming series against the Brewers. I know he has

742
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: a fun one for us. We have a Johnny fatherhood

743
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: over there. How's how's the life treating you? John? Good?

744
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: Guys.

745
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, obviously the weekend could have been

746
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: a little better, but I'm glad we all enjoyed our weekends.

747
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: You guys on vacation, me enjoying my daughter. Life's good, right,

748
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta roll with the punches, So, uh,

749
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: everyone hanging there. I guess, I don't know.

750
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

751
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: It's it sucks, right.

752
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 2: Ucks, it does kind of suck. John, it definitely kind

753
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: of sucks.

754
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: It sucks, But uh, yeah, Mark, you mentioned it. I

755
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: was just doing a little reading ahead of the series

756
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: against the Brewers and was looking at Colin Ray. Realized

757
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 3: didn't pitching the Bigs last year. Pitched in Japan, so

758
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: I said, okay, I wonder what Tino was for. Turns

759
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: out he pitched for the Soft Bank Hawks, which means

760
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: that Colin Ray and code I Senga were actually teammates

761
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: last year. Then I went back and I saw Colin

762
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: Ray went on MLB Network during the offseason and actually

763
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: talked about Code I Senga before he wound up signing

764
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: with the Mets. So a fun little connection there. Ray

765
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: pitches on Monday. Sega will pitch at some point. It's

766
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: a four game series with Milwaukee, so both are going

767
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: to start in the series.

768
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: So est men.

769
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: By the way, Mark, congrats on your getting off the schnei.

770
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: The last one, there were fourteen to two out hits,

771
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: so seven seven by each team. I told you guys

772
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: going in that the Phillies were very good in two

773
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: strike situations. Mets don't strike out much, put the ball

774
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: in play in two strike situations. So marking now down

775
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: by two, making a game out of it. And we

776
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: did say we're going to cut this at the All

777
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: Star break, right, yes, yes, so this is this is

778
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: this is crunch time here. M so for this estimate

779
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: and then you guys will get into the series. Series preview,

780
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: I want you guys to tell me how many combined

781
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: whiffs will there be by the two former SoftBank Hawks

782
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: teammates Code I Sanga and Colin Ray.

783
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna need a little help here because my

784
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: internet in this hotel is so awful and I know,

785
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: I know you guys are experiencing it, but no, I

786
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: need a little help. I just need to know what

787
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: or like, what's like the whiff rate of these guys.

788
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: Just give me like a rough estimate.

789
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: All right, I'll tell you right now. Colin Ray's whiff

790
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: rate on the season I'm on his page right now

791
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: is twenty three point five percent. Okay, so that's just

792
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: a hair a hair below league average. And Code I

793
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: Sanga I'm gonna guess I'm just gonna do a pure

794
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: guest right now. I'm gonna guess twenty nine. But I'm

795
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: gonna search my baseball savon right now and see if

796
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: I can find it.

797
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: Mark, you've been watching the College World Series at all?

798
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I mean me and James are really hoping

799
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: forloida Gators comes through. Yeah, big Gators fans right now.

800
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso is a great guy, so we're supporting his

801
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: team as Loyals Mets fans, and it definitely has nothing

802
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: to do with anything else, but we just we want

803
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the Gators to win for Pete. That's what it is.

804
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: Cord the saying is wwiff is twenty nine point one percent.

805
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey guys, there we go. Oh wait, James, last

806
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: question with rate is like swings swings and misses on.

807
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: Only swings that you throw. Yes, that's swinging strike rate.

808
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: It's just the times you swing and the times you miss.

809
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: But we're not doing rate too, We're only doing how

810
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: many times you swing myth correct?

811
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Okay. I just wanted to kind of get an idea

812
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: of like what's going on there. Just my guess could

813
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: be bad.

814
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 2: I also I want to show that one other thing

815
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: in the world in the College World Series because I've

816
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: been watching college baseball lot this year, probably one to

817
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: ever have in my life. It's it's pretty electric, like

818
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: top to bottom and Florida that might have one of

819
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: the most exciting players that college baseball is seen basically

820
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: in our lifetimes. Jack Haglion. He's the Italian Otani. He

821
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: throws upper nineties from the left side and was near

822
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: the top of all Division one players and home runs

823
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: this year. I think he also had the most batted

824
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: balls over one hundred and fifteen and one hundred and

825
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: eighteen miles per hour in all Division one baseball. Guy

826
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: is a freak of nature, potential number one overall pick

827
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: in next year's twenty twenty four draft.

828
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: So much fun. He just broke the college bb core

829
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: record for most home runs in a season today he

830
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: hit a home run against LSU in Game number two,

831
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: so he now has the most runs by a BBCRE

832
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: bat player in the college World in college baseball ever.

833
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 2: Kaglione, baby love him.

834
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: I got a number. I don't I don't know if

835
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good or bad guess. We'll we'll tell.

836
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: By James's laugh, I really don't know what to do

837
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: with whiffs, but I just got one. All right, I'm

838
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: ready to all right, here we go three two one,

839
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen.

840
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: Not even the lay could stop. Another's been on point.

841
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: It's been great, Yeah we have.

842
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: That's been awesome. I was only gonna say nineteen. I

843
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 2: went eighteen last second because I thought you were going

844
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: to go so high that I was gonna get like

845
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: an extra actually was Yeah, that's totally obsollent logical. I

846
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: would have actually thought so that episode.

847
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: I don't want to say this last one. I thought

848
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: you guys way undershot it with seven and eight, and

849
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: I think you guys way undershot it again. CODEI Sanga

850
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: can get nineteen himself. Yeah, easily easily, but we'll see.

851
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 3: That's why we play the game.

852
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad I have the higher number. I'm glad I'm

853
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: the over man. That's where I belong on the over.

854
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: My first instinct was twenty. It's just stuck with it,

855
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: whatever that happens.

856
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: Wait, do you want to hear what my first instinct was?

857
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

858
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Here twenty one. Ooh all right, so we would have

859
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: been one away anyway. But yeah, John, thanks for hanging out.

860
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Go spend some time with your daughter, and

861
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: we'll catch you this week at City Field and we

862
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: get back with arcations. Seeah, James, Let's go ahead and

863
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: preview that series. Tell us a little bit about the Brewers'

864
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: pictures that we're gonna be seeing.

865
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna see four pitchers and where Hilaire's are going

866
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: to see three guys who are very similar in a way,

867
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: and then Freddie Peralta, who's like kind of a modern pitcher.

868
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: But we're gonna see Colin Ray on Monday, Julio Terron,

869
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: imagine that on Tuesday, and Wade Miley on Wednesday. So

870
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: the Mets are gonna go three games into this series

871
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: and not see a pitch above ninety one miles an

872
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: hour before the fifth or sixth inning whenever the Brewer's

873
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: first reliever comes in. And I guess that's all I'm

874
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: gonna say about that. Julio Tyran right now is getting

875
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: really good results, just throwing the kitchen sink, not striking

876
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: anybody out, but also not walking anybody, just not pitching.

877
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: For it's been years and just case the Brewers just

878
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: found him out of nowhere and just like, please give

879
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: us some innings. He was like, I'll give you some innings.

880
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: I got it.

881
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 2: I I'd love to give you some innings. That's all

882
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: I've ever wanted to do is give us someone some innings.

883
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 2: Colin Ray, John did mention, came over back from Japan

884
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: last year. He's someone I kind of liked a lot

885
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 2: going through the offseason and going through like dense like

886
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: Fantasy Baseball research because I saw I don't want to

887
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 2: I don't want to miss Misnomer, which pitching lab he

888
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 2: worked with in the offseason. I believe it was tread.

889
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: I'm happy to give them just some credit because they

890
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 2: do great work, and they'd always hit me up on

891
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 2: Twitter and stuff. But he just throws his kitchen sink guy, fastball,

892
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: color sly, their curveball, change up. He's gonna throw all

893
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: of them. He's gonna mix in a sinker as well,

894
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 2: so at the and the change up is a splitther.

895
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 2: So you're gonna see six pitches from Colin Ray in

896
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 2: his start this week, and they're just they go, they

897
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: go all over the place, and he's gonna it's kind

898
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 2: of like I kind of only say he's a little

899
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: bit bassot Ish, But if Bassett was like like fifteen

900
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: to twenty percent worse. But he throws a lot of

901
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: stuff at you and he dares you to try and

902
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: hit it. And then Wade Miley, You guys know Wade Miley.

903
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: Just he's gonna be left. He's gonna be really annoying.

904
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna i if three balls don't go to the moon,

905
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna throw my remote against the wall

906
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 2: and then Max saws straightly. Peralta is definitely the marque

907
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 2: pitching matchup in this series. Paralta has had an up

908
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: and down season, but he's still I think pretty good,

909
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: probably one of the more underrated guys in terms of

910
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: the league. Just fastball, slider, both awesome and that that's

911
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: just who he is.

912
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brwis are a team that I'm really fighting right

913
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: now too, because the Cincinnati Reds don't let them get hot.

914
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they've just taken the National League Central by storm,

915
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: absolutely dominating with that youth. I know they had a

916
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a rough series against the Braves. Braves

917
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: are good, but the the Reds have kind of taken

918
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: over that National League Central. So the Brewers kind of

919
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: similar spot with the Mets, got to start winning some

920
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: games because if they don't start winning some games, not

921
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. So this is like gonna be a

922
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: very intense series for two teams that are fighting for

923
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: their for their seasons right now.

924
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 2: Definitely, And we got smacked by the Brewers we played

925
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: them in April. That was a that was a that

926
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: was a pretty rough series. And in the season of

927
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: rough series that was that was not a good one

928
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: and we I would hope to get back out for

929
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: them because they've definitely tapered off a bit since then.

930
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: I know, as bad as Jesse Winker has been over

931
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: the last few months, ire percent guarantee he does something

932
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: awful to us this series. There's no doubt in my mind.

933
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 2: He's been statistically one of the worst hitters in the league,

934
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: and he's gonna he's gonna maul us. I'm not looking

935
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: forward to it. They just signed one of your favorite

936
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 2: bad players in league, Ryemel Tapia, which is gonna be

937
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: fun over there. And this he had a weird hear

938
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: for the Brewers where they've just they've really had a

939
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: lot of injuries and it's been hard for them kind

940
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: of to stay float but stay uh, you know, stay

941
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: up in the rotation, stay up with their bullpen. There's

942
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: a lot of interesting names out there. I mean, you

943
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 2: guys know, Devin Williams amazing, Matt Bush is pretty fun,

944
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: Peter Strez lucky is interesting. Hoby Milner is kind of

945
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: sounds like a creative player, but he has some kind

946
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: of fun the fun stuff. And we're seeing the whole

947
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: rotation besides Corbyn Burns. So I mean this this this broke. Well,

948
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: Let's win some baseball games.

949
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, Let's win some baseball games at back in city Field,

950
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: which is good because we know the Mets played better

951
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: at home than they do on the road. They like

952
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,560
