Speaker 1: A lot of good vibes, a lot of podcast listeners

30
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: came and said hello, we met. The highlight of the

31
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: night was certainly the little child that we met of

32
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: the first time. This kid was so genuinely happy to

33
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: be in the Mets game and also for sure jacked

34
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: up on sugar, crazy jacked up on sugar. He was

35
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: like holding onto the rail going like, ah, I'm having

36
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: so much fun, said that outl out. He screamed it.

37
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: He couldn't stop fist bumping me and giving me a

38
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: high fives. He wasn't even watching the game. He was

39
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: just he was dropping a little bit. He was excited

40
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: and he was doing the fist bump with the lester. Yeah,

41
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: exploding it.

42
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: It was he was fun.

43
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: It was really cool to see like the genuine love

44
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: of like the Mets and just like that weird bittersweet

45
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: feeling of like feeling the stadium rocking, and like thinking

46
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: back over the last year and just like seeing that,

47
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: like see the way the season has gone.

48
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: But really nice to have the fans into going crazy

49
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: for a night. Ye, no, it was.

50
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun, especially like that peed

51
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: home run, which we'll talk about his hot streak here

52
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: in a little bit, but that Peede home run in

53
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: what was it the fifth or fourth inning whatever it

54
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: was to tie the game up for the Mets in

55
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Game three.

56
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: I mean the.

57
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Crowd roared, absolutely roared, and like we looked at each other,

58
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: like this place is really loud tonight. Same with the

59
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Jeff m Menilolm run the sixth things to take the lead.

60
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: It was a lot of action in the stands. It

61
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: was a really really good crowd. It kind of remind

62
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: you of what Mets fans really are. Yeah, Like we

63
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: talked about this with my dad to call it a

64
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: couple of hours ago, but like Mets fans were born

65
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: and bred from Summer's like this. Yeah, Well, you know,

66
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: if you're if you're a Met fan because you like

67
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: the winning teams, you might not really be a Met fan.

68
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: They're not there yet.

69
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: This is where we come from, this is where we

70
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: were born out of, this is this is what we existed.

71
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean we're happy. That's no complacency. I'd love

72
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: to get comfortable with being a very much like a winning, winning,

73
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: you know team. But my point is that just because

74
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: this team isn't having a season they hope for, it

75
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean Mets fans aren't going to show up and

76
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: aren't going to be passionate. Yeah, that's the whole thing.

77
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: Definitely cool and the to get back to the beginning

78
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: of the series here. Before the first game started, we

79
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: found out about Brett Baty's demotion, which is something that

80
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: I think we saw was always a possibility with the

81
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: way that he had been playing.

82
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: He hasn't just been the same.

83
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: I think he even said at one point, like when

84
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: talking to the media or whatever, that the game is

85
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: spelt a little bit fast, and I think you could kind.

86
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Of tell that a little bit.

87
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: Didn't look comfortable at the plate, didn't comfortable in the

88
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: field at times. What do you think about the demotion

89
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: for Brett. I think that it is something that I

90
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: expect to help him. I also think it's it's kind

91
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: of like we always talk about it, here's a little

92
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: bit ofresweet, because it really felt like there was a

93
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: point the spring, especially that Friday night game in May

94
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: against the Guardians, where he was really turning a corner.

95
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: That was May nineteenth, and at the time, he'd hit

96
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: a big home run that game start the Mets comeback

97
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: cool opps the field home run as well with the

98
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: black jersey field himself. He's a one hundred play appearance

99
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: into the season at that point because he spent the

100
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: first few weeks the season down in triple A the

101
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: one thirteen WRC plus a twenty percent strike out right

102
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: in nine percent walk right, and he was chasing far

103
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: lesson league average. He had twenty five percent chase rate

104
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: while league average up by thirty two percent.

105
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: Fantastic ten percent barrels in a small sample.

106
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: She's a really good benchmark for having appropriate power and

107
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: far better in the league average. So it kind of

108
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: felt like he'd been, you know, kind of treading water

109
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: and being better than average doing a lot of things well,

110
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: hitting the ball hard, not extending the zone, and he

111
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: was kind of about to go on that streak and

112
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: then since that time, since May twentieth, it's really it

113
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: just kind of seemed like got really hard for Brett.

114
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: Two hundred and thirteen played.

115
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: The appearance since then, that strike rate balloons over thirty percent,

116
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: the chase rate went up to thirty one percent, He

117
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: had an eight percent walker, it went down a little bit,

118
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: sixty WRC plus and only ten extra base hits, you know,

119
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: those two hundred and thirteen play appearances. And I feel

120
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: like that was kind of the big thing that you

121
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: were noticing, was like there was more swing and miss

122
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: in his game, but the power, the punch that we

123
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: saw from Brett Baty and spring training or earlier in

124
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the season, like you said, in those first hundred played

125
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: appearances just wasn't really there. And that would make sense

126
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: with his comments about like saying, the game's moving a

127
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: little fast, and you hear guys, you see guys extend

128
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: the strike zone.

129
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: You know there's pressure on them.

130
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: Especially this was a Mets team that had was under

131
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: the lost screw in early in the season, had a

132
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on them, wasn't meeting expectations, and he

133
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: was a guy getting regular play appearance in the middle

134
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: of battle weather. You can kind of feel that he

135
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: was pressing a little bit. And you've heard baseball players

136
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: talking when you kind of start to expand the strike zone,

137
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: that's a telltale sign of pressing. Yeah, Que's in the

138
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: bat two tight, thinking more than playing, and when you're

139
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: at that position, that's not a good thing to do.

140
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: And we kind of talked about when his Baseball Baseball

141
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: savan page went live when he was finally qualified, how

142
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: red his whole page looked great. It did, and it

143
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: kind of fell apart. And this chase rate in the

144
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: whiffer were the two big reasons why they led him

145
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: striking out more and making wars contact and he was

146
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: still having his groundball issues. The contact he was making

147
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: wasn't as I don't know, wasn't as powerful, wasn't as beantageous.

148
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: No so, and then him saying the game feels fast,

149
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: you kind of do think you just need a breather.

150
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: And I think that there's a lot of Mets fans

151
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: and we Mets fans were quick to jump on says,

152
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: we're very quick to jump in every direction. I think

153
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: a lot of Mets fans are pretty disgruntled and think that,

154
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: oh my god, Brett Bailey never gonna be great, but

155
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: you kind of look, it's very easy to look around

156
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: the league and see that this prospect development. If we

157
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: say it to you, guys, almost every episode now is

158
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: not linear. No, you can look and find so many examples,

159
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: both with the Mets and then just a round Baseball

160
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: of the last five or so years of guys who've

161
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: gone up and down and still found a ton of

162
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: success in their careers.

163
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: No.

164
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a guy that used to play for

165
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: this team in particularly that's having a pretty great MMB

166
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: career with Michael Confordo, a guy who came up in

167
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen during that World Series run.

168
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: Straight from double A.

169
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: Straight from double A was a big part of it,

170
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: and then eventually got into those struggles we remember the

171
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: mass and Bumgardner game like that ruined him essentially at

172
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: their time, and then he got sent down.

173
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: You go down, you work on stuff, you fix it.

174
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: You almost just kind of get to play baseball, which

175
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: is something that I think Brett Baty probably just needs

176
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: to get back to a little bit. Not thinking about

177
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: the situation, the pressure playing in New York, whatever it

178
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: is that is clearly making the game feel a little

179
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: bit fast and just go back to playing baseball, because

180
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: when we know he's playing is like just when he's

181
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: comfortable and relaxed, he's playing his best baseball.

182
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: And he's a very good baseball.

183
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Player and can for those a good example to compare

184
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: baby to for the way they've jumped around, because Brett

185
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: Bay up to this point has only played fifteen games

186
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: in tripleize. Nothing and a guy who came straight out

187
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: of high school. You know, he's nineteen years old and

188
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: got caught up by the COVID year, losing that year

189
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: of development. He's never played more than ninety games at

190
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: any particular level of baseball in his career.

191
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Wow.

192
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: Never never major League, never double A, never single A,

193
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: never hide, never low way, no way. He's never played

194
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: more than ninety games at one level. Sometimes you play

195
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: more than ninety games in a summer. Right in club baseball,

196
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: he got to move very quickly through the system. And

197
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: he moved very quickly because he was seemed very advanced.

198
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: He was taking pitches, he was getting to his power,

199
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: he was just really advanced approach to the play, especially

200
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: if someone you're drafting out of high school. I'm someone

201
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: out of college. Brett Bay's still twenty three years old

202
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: right now. There were players just taking the ALB Draft.

203
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: We are about six months younger than Brett Baby. Yeah, truly,

204
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: there's players coming into the mess system right now about

205
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: to say Major's Brady going down to a ball and

206
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: he was in the Major League, just played eighty six

207
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: games here. So I do think that there's there's definitely Again,

208
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: development's not linear.

209
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: There's a lot of directions you can go here, and.

210
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: It's not like get the tick of the point every

211
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: single time you get in the achievement, you get one

212
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: more point of power.

213
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: It's not how it works.

214
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Look at the guy like, this is a really crazy example,

215
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: but I think it's pertinent because happening right now. Luis

216
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Campusano is someone who was a marquee prospect as early

217
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: as well twenty eighteen, forty nineteen four or five years ago. Yeah, right,

218
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: and he's even still right now about I think he's

219
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty four years old.

220
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: Sact check me on that.

221
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Twenty five he has gone up and down majors and

222
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: minors four times, with the most recent fourth time being

223
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: on July nineteenth of this year, twenty four.

224
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: Twenty four.

225
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: He's only twenty four years old.

226
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: About you're only year older than baby, which goes to

227
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: show you, like international high school guys, how much baseball

228
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: they play really without playing as much as the college guys.

229
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: But Campusano since coming back up on July nineteenth, has

230
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: a three point fifty three to ninety five eighty slash.

231
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: For the one seventy WRC plus.

232
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: And that's non indica of the boy's gonna do the

233
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: rest of his care This is a guy that went

234
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: up and down four times in his baseball career after

235
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: being a marquee prospect, and right now twenty four is

236
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: finding his stride. I mean, you could talk about C. J. Abrams,

237
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: who's been up and down a couple times. He's playing really,

238
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: really good baseball. Isaac Parades another guy who's been playing

239
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: out of his mind for the Rays. He couldn't figure

240
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: it out in Detroit whatsoever. Alec Bohm, even Paradis, was

241
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: sent down. Also, he played minor league baseball to the race

242
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: after his trade. He's been up twice this year. Alec

243
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Bohm was great in twenty twenty and about the forty five

244
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: game sample when he came up. He was miserable in

245
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Had to go back down to the

246
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: minor league to end that year for offense as much

247
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: as defense, and then even twenty twenty two he got

248
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: a full year to play again and was still worse

249
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: than league average. So three years into the majors, now

250
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: his fourth year, he's really seeming to come into his

251
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: own hand. He played in college at which's off state.

252
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: There you go, so this prospect stuff. This isn't just

253
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: like you get on the track and you go That's

254
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: not how it works. But I do think that there's

255
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: still so much in Brett Bay's profile. There's so many

256
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: things he does well that I really would caution you

257
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: Mets fans not to overreact to this demotion. Yeah, Keith

258
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: before the game, when they were talking about it, I

259
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: feel like gave a really good SoundBite that I hope

260
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: Breckels somehow get to listen to, because Keith was like, listen, like,

261
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: I got all the confidence in the world. And this kid,

262
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: like I've seen him play, he's a great baseball player.

263
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: But things just seem like they're moving too fast. Go down, relax,

264
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: take it easy, play baseball. Play the game that you

265
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: know how to play, because that's what got you here.

266
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Everybody saw the way that you hit, saw, the way

267
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: that you were a patient at the plate, played third base,

268
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: whatever it was, that's what got you to the majors.

269
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Go back, find how to play like that again, and

270
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: you will be back in no time doing great things.

271
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: So I thought that was really cool to hear from KEITHR. Nandez,

272
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: who's one of the best bets players of all time. Definitely,

273
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: And I mean, who better to hear about the path

274
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: of development someone who had a crazy path development himself. Yeah,

275
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Like Keith Nandez talked about him like he at like

276
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: in his early thirties. He seemed like he was a

277
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: guy who's kind of on his last legs a baseball career,

278
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: and then he came and had an amazing second prime

279
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: with the Mets, had the lembs of the World Series,

280
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: when the first silver sluger I believe in team history

281
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: did a lot of great things, became a captain. Like,

282
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: baseball's not a straight line that It's not how it happens.

283
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: We've been spoiled with guys who have come up and

284
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: instantly been great, just as baseball fans dont or even

285
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: on this team, Francisco al Forrez, one of them, like

286
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: he's so good at such a young age. But like

287
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: you said, like it's just not that easy. Mike Trot

288
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: had a horrible first year in Major League baseball. Aaron

289
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Judges looked horrendous. Like there's countless scenarios where you look

290
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: at these young players that get their first chance or

291
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: first real shot, and they can't figure it out until

292
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: a little bit later, even the second shot, even the

293
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: third shot.

294
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: Right now, Luis Cambossano's on the fourth shot, it looks like.

295
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: It could be a shot in the arm to be

296
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: a little corner right there for the Padres playoff push. Yeah,

297
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: they're making a scary push there. Yeah, but that's the

298
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Brett Baby spiel. So everyone keep leaving in Brett Bathy,

299
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Brett Baby. He'll be worried about it.

300
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: He'll be back very soon. He'll be a good ball player.

301
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: But now jump into the series, because message just win

302
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: a series against the Cubs.

303
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean Pete Alonzo.

304
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Peter Alonso owns the Cubs and has been smoking

305
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: the ball recently every single game this year, is just

306
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: playing phenomenally.

307
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: Well.

308
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, this game one for Pete was one of his

309
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: best of the entire year two home runs, six RBIs.

310
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: Four hard hit balls in this one too, those over

311
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: one hundred five miles an hour. I dropped that sad

312
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: in you guys about how infrequently Pete had two bad

313
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: of the balls in one game that were over one

314
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: hundred and five miles an hour. Yep, while he had

315
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: the risk thing going on this now third game with

316
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: two BA balls in play over one hundred and five

317
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: miles an hour since July twenty fifth. Yeah, And I

318
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: mean you see the stats that you put in here.

319
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: He's literally been great all year except for the two months, yes,

320
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: and then two months really only about thirty games and

321
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: sprinkled in with a little injury in there as well.

322
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: It's not like it was just like this whole thing.

323
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: Hi guys, Hey, John, welcome back.

324
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: You just said it's been two months, and then you're like, yeah,

325
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 5: it's like thirty games, so that's.

326
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: One month because he missed three weeks two weeks all

327
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Star break. Yeah, you know what I mean, John, two

328
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: months of time.

329
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: Time.

330
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: Time move slow at this time, now, John, Time isn't linear.

331
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Time is not linear. Yeah, it's a fact.

332
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: But while we're getting we're gonna stop getting med on

333
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: you guys for a second. But from opening day two

334
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: piece wrist injury in Atlanta, he had twenty two home

335
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: runs and sixty one games with a one thirty seven

336
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: WRC plus and nineteen percent strike it rade. From that

337
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: Brave's injury to the end of the White Sox series,

338
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: which was about four weeks ago now two weeks ago now,

339
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: four home runs in twenty seven games or two months,

340
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: as John would like to put it, with a sixty

341
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: two WRC plus and twenty five percent strike I rad

342
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: and then since then this update now with today nine

343
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: home runs and eighteen games, it was a two hundred

344
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: and even WRC plus coming into the game, I would say,

345
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: and a sixteen percent stracker right, which is going lower.

346
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: He's blazing hot, blazing hot, and it's just it really

347
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: shows how this offense moves with like him and Lindor

348
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: are swinging it.

349
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 2: They just put up a lot of runs. It's just

350
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: kind of how it works, especially with Alvarez up there

351
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: in the two spot where he seems to be very

352
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: very comfortable there.

353
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: I love them there, love them in that game as well.

354
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: On Monday, Lindor three hits, three runs, score, and three

355
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: balls in play over one hundred miles an hour. So

356
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: that's now the third time he's done that in three weeks,

357
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: noticeably hitting the ball hard. Yeah, and the notice for

358
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: John here Zander Bogart's only done that twice his entire career.

359
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: Why are you taking shots of movie?

360
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, just saying, taking shot no reason in particular,

361
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: two very.

362
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 5: Good shortstops, and that's got themselves a great short stops.

363
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, right, John, they do got themselves the better one,

364
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: the better one, right, the better one, right?

365
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: And then al that short stopping the sport how about that?

366
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: And then alva is in this game, I hit a walk,

367
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: two run score, and three hard at ball, so the

368
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: middle of the Mets order was really crushing my guy,

369
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Drew Smiley.

370
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: And it was really nice to see.

371
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's good because Drew Smiley, we know,

372
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: has been known to throw a gem against the Mets

373
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: for absolutely no reason whatsoever. So being able to smack

374
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: him around was really really nice, especially in a just

375
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: such a bizarre game because the rain that came in

376
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: after cod Code. I had a great start. Just I

377
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: can't even believe they played that game afterwards.

378
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: It was so late.

379
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: You know, it was like, that's the second game that

380
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: that's been resumed, like after eleven o'clock the night in

381
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I'm sure you guys, all the

382
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: full time folks here must really enjoy that.

383
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it.

384
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 5: Did you guys watch the resumption from when they came

385
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 5: back to the final you missed and Mendix home run?

386
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course that's your favorite player.

387
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: I know, I was. I was psyched.

388
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: Mar said the text. Were you jumping up in the booth?

389
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a big moment, it was.

390
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: It was great getting high fives around for everybody.

391
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 5: Dub Killer, I mean really well he you know, played

392
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 5: cross town, so a lot of exposure.

393
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, good career numbers against the Chicago Cubs.

394
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: That's just that's really just hammered Cubs pitching this game.

395
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: They had eleven balls and play over one hundred miles

396
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: an hour, just power all over the place. We talked

397
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: about Pete Noor Alvarez en top of that, Koyle I

398
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Sanga another really good start. Just a good picture, just

399
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: a really good picture, straight up good. He is the

400
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: third lowest r in the National League. Yah, and I

401
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: think the ninth best striker. Fourth best strikeout right, and

402
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: those are sick. And that's the tenth best era in

403
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: all of baseball and the ninth best track out rate

404
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: in all of baseball.

405
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: Pretty gross. He's a rookie.

406
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: He's a rookie. That forkball ghost fork is absolutely disgusting. Sorry,

407
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: it's not a fourth ball. Goes for all for Yeah,

408
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: and that goes fork got seven whiffs on eleven swings.

409
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: That put its whift rate up to fifty eight point

410
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: nine percent, which is still the best whiff rate on

411
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: any individual pitch in the league. But a little bad

412
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: thing here. Ian Happ got the sixth hard hit ball

413
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: off the ghost fork all year. Oh no, and ninety

414
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: seven point three mile an hour single. He did it,

415
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: He did it. He did it a single. Congratulations Hazuki,

416
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: says Zukia one of him too. In the series he

417
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: played in Wrigley, So the Cubs have two of the

418
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: six hard hit balls off the ghost fork all year. Interesting, say,

419
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Zuki had a good little series, good ball player, and

420
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: they don't even play him.

421
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: Every dayhich is kind of crazy. Doesn't make any sense.

422
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: And last thing about Sanga, this color is becoming a

423
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: huge part of his repertoire. He dropped such a nice

424
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: backdoor one on Christopher Morel in the second ending. He

425
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: was really like getting like pinpointing that low and outside

426
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: corner against the righties all game, third time in six starts.

427
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: That's been his most throne pitch. So it seems like

428
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: this col is gonna be a new thing that's pushing.

429
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Could I send go forward?

430
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: Now?

431
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: I was watching that game, You're like, man, there they are.

432
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: They're the Mets.

433
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: They are the Mets, they are the Cubs because the

434
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Cubs such a fake good team. The Cubs are a

435
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: fake good team. They just throw a lot of stuff

436
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: at you. You know they are you know what they are,

437
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: They're like super average. Yeah, as as this season keeps

438
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: going on, you kind of feel like the wildcard teams,

439
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: the wildcard teams, you felt like we're gonna be there

440
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: a month ago. And that way shift the Phillies, the Giants,

441
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and the Padres very clearly the next three best teams

442
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: the National League behind the winners. John's Marlins are completely

443
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: falling apart of the seams. Cincinnati Reds. I think they

444
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: might have a hot streak in them, but it's been

445
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: tough recently. And the Cubs also like the Cubs bullpen

446
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: leaves so much to be desired, so starving rotations.

447
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: It's so blah.

448
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: No, though, your boy Jamison Tyn the best start of

449
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: the season's he's actually been hot recently. He had a

450
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: really bad start to the years. They were talking about

451
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: on the broadcast and they were saying that Tyne when

452
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: they signed him, sign him for like four to seven

453
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: for seventy eight, they came in there like, hey, change

454
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: your pitch. That's like, you're really good with your your

455
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: curve ball. It's changed into a sweeping curve. It was terrible.

456
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: It was part of the reason why I struggled. He

457
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: went back to the old curveball. And I mean, as

458
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: we saw in Game two, he's been filled feat since then.

459
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Which it just makes me like ask the question if

460
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: he gave the guy eighty million dollars, Yeah, why did

461
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: you be like, you know, what changed something? Even though

462
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: we just page all this money, we think you're not

463
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: doing it right.

464
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

465
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: I see that his sweeper is way up and the

466
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: slider's way down this year with the curve balls consistent.

467
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: Interesting And I mean, I've you talk about time p guy.

468
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: I love Tyan.

469
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: I've always loved the pitch mix, the fact that he

470
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: was one such a high pick. He's gone through two

471
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: time of John surgery, he's and actually gotten back from

472
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: them to be good. And he also battled testicular cancer

473
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues. The perseverance of this guy, the

474
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: fight through what he's gotten through.

475
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: He is a dog. He's a complete dog.

476
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: He's been on about three different teams now, and he

477
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: looks like he's just kind of gonna settle into this

478
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: nice little back end of his career.

479
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: I know this.

480
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: The stats look very bad, but you can see the adjustments.

481
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: You can see how hard of a worker is, you

482
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: can see how much of a bulldog is on the mounds.

483
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: Like he's a guy who you kind of wanted any clubhouse.

484
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: Carrasco to a.

485
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Bit of a bulldog. Had a nice little start through

486
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: five innings for the Mets.

487
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: There.

488
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: He got pulled right before things started to get a

489
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: little bit ugly for him, which was good timing. I think, Yeah,

490
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: Pete hit that first Senning home run because of course

491
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: he did, because he's Pete Alonso against the Cubs and

492
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: he owns them. John maybe he could pull up some

493
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: up Pete stats against the Cubs through his career, because

494
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: I know they are discussing, did.

495
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: You guys see what we did on the board tonight?

496
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: I don't know. We were walking around a bit.

497
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: Got it. So I found this this morning.

498
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 5: Pete entered the game with one home run and roughly

499
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: every six point six career at bats against the Cubs.

500
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: The only player in MLB history with a better rate

501
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 5: against Chicago Mark maguire. That is correct, Yeah, that is correct,

502
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 5: And that rate is the best in Mets history. The

503
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 5: second best rate was every nine at bats Robin Ventura

504
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: against the Pirates. So head and shoulders above the competition.

505
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 3: It's He's all. He had big home runs against the

506
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: Cubs his rookie year.

507
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 2: They went to Wrigley.

508
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 5: It was I think late June he hit a home

509
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 5: run that's for past dials, Strawberry for the single season

510
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 5: Mets rookie record. And then James, you know what I say.

511
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: Is that a very famous that series Chicago?

512
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes it did, Yes, it did.

513
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: I believe Hobby a big home run that Sunday, Yes.

514
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: You did, Yes, he did.

515
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: But then Pete set the Mets single season home run

516
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 5: record here at City Field was a home run against

517
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 5: you Darvish at August. That series kind of was the

518
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 5: end of that season.

519
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: I'll never forget Victor Carroten, he hitting two home against

520
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: that game too, that my cousins from Greece were here

521
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: and I was I was at four oh with them,

522
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: and thank goodness, I got to miss that one. You know,

523
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: this is funny having this game, so I kind of

524
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: felt like we're looking through a parallel universe of where

525
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: the Mets were last year when the Cubs came to town,

526
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: and how that series kind of felt like the beginning

527
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: of bad times.

528
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: Then. I think that was also that was right when

529
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: Vila started here. That was what was he doing? The

530
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: nine hot dogs?

531
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: Heck yeah, yeah, and the and the Cubs came and

532
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: really just made us be like what what what's going

533
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: on with this team right now?

534
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: Like something felt wrong?

535
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: And now we kind of just probably opened the Cub's

536
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: eyes to the fact that they might not really be

537
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: as good a spot as they thought they were.

538
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: We could go either.

539
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: No, no. For the rest of that game, not much.

540
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: Narvaia's got an extra base.

541
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Hit, yeah, the only one after Pete in the first senning, yep,

542
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: and smoked it over was a talkman in right fields

543
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: and the Soffman Mike Trout, Mike Trout, Yeah, crowd, of course,

544
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: it's amazing that now twice and twice in four summers

545
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: we've had like summers of talkmen.

546
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: Might just be good.

547
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, where he's just gonna hit like double digit home

548
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: runs to have like an eight fifty ops and play

549
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: really good defense in the outfield.

550
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: What do you got?

551
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 5: Do you want to shout out one thing that happened

552
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 5: Game two? So I'm not a big wrestling guy at all.

553
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys are. I'm not, but

554
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: l A Knight was here Big WWE superstarr and got

555
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 5: a shout out Veto who told me that he grew

556
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 5: up wanting to be a wrestler writer, like writing storylines,

557
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: and I didn't know that.

558
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: Well did.

559
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 5: And we had Ellie Knight and we were like, you know,

560
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 5: we want to do something cool, and Veto came up

561
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: with great storylines.

562
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: We did a whole in game thing. It was really cool.

563
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: So if you were here, you saw it.

564
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: Ellie Knight was great, Mike Chanelle was great, and Veto

565
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 5: was super creative.

566
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: So wrestling writer, Yeah, I did not want to be

567
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: a wrestler.

568
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to write for wrestling because it seemed less

569
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 4: taxing on the bodies. Definitely, of course, and you know

570
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: there's a lot of a lot of wrestlers don't live long.

571
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 3: So as a seven year old, I thought about that week.

572
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 3: Were you really you were thinking about mortality?

573
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: But that's deep that also it feels like a lot

574
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: that happens outside the uring, right and inside the ring,

575
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: like Rick Flair not living long.

576
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's actual still alive. Birick Flair is a

577
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: legend of the game. But I think that's more about

578
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: what else happened than what did happen inside there.

579
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 4: I do want to say John learned wrestling terms so well.

580
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: He was in meetings with.

581
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 5: Give us a term, John, Oh, if you're a good guy,

582
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 5: you're a face, you're a bad guy, you're a heel.

583
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was gonna walk in here because I was

584
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: a little late to the to the show.

585
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 5: I was gonna come here to a little shimmy, like

586
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 5: a little have my wrestling entrance.

587
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: So that what's your favorite term?

588
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, what's my favorite term?

589
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 2: No, you're phrase the phrase?

590
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, what is that? That's all a Knight's thing.

591
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 5: All the time.

592
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: Dude, Allie Knight was great.

593
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 4: He wore a ripped sleeves, Jersey had a ball at

594
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 4: the game.

595
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: It's a big dude, he's a buff kid.

596
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: It's like every hour and a half, two hours, I think,

597
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: really got it. You can't let your body go into

598
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 5: meta ball sock right, Brian, right, Brian, what I'm talking about?

Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun. It was really cool.

Speaker 3: I'm a wrestling guy.

603
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 5: Now I'm about to make wrestling my whole personality.

604
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 4: You know.

605
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,760

00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: from the first ever episode.

628
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 2: Ben. I think it might be Ben. I think it's

629
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: he knows who it is. It's been a long night,

630
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: but Ben. Maybe Ben tweet when you hear this.

631
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: Maybe Ben probably like Dylan or something like that.

632
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't this is bad. I think it was Ben

633
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: good podcast thing. I'm going with Ben. Ben, you know

634
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: who you are. It's nice meeting you. Mom filled in

635
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: the bottom corner of the Maculate Grit. Yes, I think McNeil.

636
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: That's a rubble tony outfielder or something, or Terry Collins

637
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: something I don't know, but yeah, that was a great

638
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: way to start the day. It was fun. A lot

639
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: of fun.

640
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was also beautiful day of the ballpark. He

641
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: rest a couple of days of weather. It's been immaculate

642
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: New York. Weirdly, I know him the jinks, but like

643
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: I've never there's never been this good in August in

644
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: New York. It's gonna it's gonna pour tomorrow when you

645
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: guys are listening to this, it's gonna be torrential down

646
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: boar no matter what. But yeah, Pete another home run.

647
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: Like we mentioned, Jeff got the home run as well.

648
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Pete nine home runs in eighteen games, which is a

649
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: power search. I mean when he's locked in, he's locked in. Yeah,

650
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: and it seems like feeling probably a little more healthy

651
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: with the wrists along with the home run. Derby gets

652
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: that guy, right, I don't know. It's also this Cubs

653
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: pitching staff. They all they're such soft toss. They just

654
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: all throw breaking balls low and like fastball's mid. So

655
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: he's just gonna guy go down there and do his

656
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: favorite thing and just hit one up and out.

657
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: They do live low.

658
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: They didn't have to because they don't throw hard exactly.

659
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: That's the kind of the organizational philosophy. But Pee always

660
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: crushes though. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I

661
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: just clicked in my brain. They connected with the wires.

662
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: We got a question from John here, coming in with

663
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: some trivia. Since two thousand, only four Mets have hit

664
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: four plus home runs in a series of two or

665
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: three games?

666
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 2: Can you name them?

667
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: Kirk new and he No, that's a good thought.

668
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 5: Yea Murphy Nope, Chris Granderson, No, they hit three home

669
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 5: runs in a game twice.

670
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 3: But nope.

671
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: Wow, this is hit four plus in a series. Let's

672
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,239
Speaker 1: go No, what Mike Piazza, No, Beltron, Yes, Altren did

673
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: it in six You just you.

674
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: Just gave it right, not one.

675
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I know David right in the ballparks and I too

676
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: was My memory is my parents. My parents saw him

677
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: in the Piazza club. My mom said hi, he said

678
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: high back. Apparently he was great on both TV and

679
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: the radio as well.

680
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 4: I think it was the first time post career that

681
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: he got to come to a game here with his children.

682
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he was here for the Hall of Fame ceremony.

683
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if they were here.

684
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: I heard it was just him and his wife. This

685
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 4: was the first time he got to come with his

686
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: kids to a game.

687
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: A very wholesome soundbit bite while I was in the bathroom,

688
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: and I think how he was talking to him about

689
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: just like his son and growing up and playing baseball

690
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. He's like, Yeah, if he

691
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: wants to play baseball like grades, that's great. Like, I

692
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: just hope he's a good kid. Like I hope he

693
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: respects full and treats others nice. I was like, what

694
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,800

00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,760

00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 5: that's he's been a beast.

735
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: There was also really cool play at the end of

736
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: this game in the ninth inning with Francisco Alvarez. You

737
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: guys should check out the tweet from COVID five. They

738
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: did it really well. He was with three seconds left

739
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: in the pitch clock. Phil Bickford would just come in

740
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: the game, new met Probably not that tip of the

741
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: communication yet they have Francisco Alfers put his fingers in

742
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 1: hand above his helmet, started snapping, snapping a lot. Phil Bickford, Well,

743
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: he was doing a really slow wind up, looking down,

744
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: looking back. Uonder if that's to get the pitch com

745
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: I think it's just rimmed a look, oh okay.

746
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: And then at once it got to one second. He

747
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: didn't do anything, and there were men on and he

748
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: was in the two strike counts.

749
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: He didn't want to lose the advantage and for just

750
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: go Offers put his hand up and started sprinting to

Speaker 1: from the h he got didn't didn't get a pitchclock violation, and.

754
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: Phil Bickford got to save.

755
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: He did for saving the Metford first save has met

756
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600

00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: we get the estimate, talk about it. Come on, come on,

784
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 5: well it's a good transition. Just give us the estimate

785
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 5: that and rip it off. All right, Here we go

786
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 5: Braves Mets. First time since that series. What was the

787
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 5: June sixth to eight?

788
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 3: I think it was that that week in Atlanta and you.

789
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 5: Talked about the Peat injury and there was really no

790
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 5: retaliation at all at that point in time. The Mets

791
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 5: get hit a lot by pitches, naturally a lot. So

792
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 5: I'm not calling for anything. I have no idea what's

793
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 5: going to happen, but a different one. How many hit

794
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 5: batsmen will there be in this series?

795
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: Four games? Because we have a day night double header

796
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: on Saturday.

797
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 5: So you said players hit by pitch yep, total hit

798
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 5: total hit batsman in the series to push on us.

799
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: This wasn't the estimate we started the episode. No, for

800
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 2: sure was it.

801
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: I tried to come in with a sneaky one at

802
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: one point, but I not knowing the pitching, but I

803
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: guess it's four guys since there's four games.

804
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: He got the double header on Saturday.

805
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: Pretty much everyone's gonna have to pitch, and I think

806
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: Max freed pitch tonight, which means that he's probably not

807
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: pitching in this series.

808
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: Has the most overa starting pitcher in baseball, So.

809
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna probably get Spencer Schrider, Charlie Morton, Bryce Elder

810
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: throw it again.

811
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: Chirinos.

812
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: Girno's is the schedule starter for Sunday, and there's right

813
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: now no schedule start with for the second game on Saturday.

814
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: Okay, And I guess they bring up Jared Schuster pitching.

815
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: What Elder Elder has been pitching. I think he's on

816
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 2: the actor Roaturday.

817
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 3: He might pitch on Friday.

818
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: He's the most fake good pitcher of all time.

819
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's a lot of fakeod pitches out there,

820
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: He's definitely the worst of them. Uh, Okay, hit by pitch,

821
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: I got a number, Yeah, I guess I guess I

822
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: got one to just kind of dive over the place.

823
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Ronald Acuna loves to get hit and like really whine

824
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: about it.

825
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: Ronald Coune doesn't love to get him whine about.

826
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: And Ronald ACUONYI loves to have nothing to happen to

827
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: him and act like he has just been like shot

828
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: by a sniper.

829
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ronaldi Cooney will like stub his toe and then

830
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: fly on the ground for nine minutes and act like

831
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: the world is coming to an end.

832
00:28:59,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

833
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: Remember him, Jose Rainia.

834
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was electric.

835
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: That was kind of fun though, got a YouTube video

836
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: that is now probably anymore nice.

837
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: That was fun. I mean, hey, I mean we were

838
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: We're fancy the Acunia family in this podcast. Oh Louis

839
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: on Hell. Yeah.

840
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: The story that came out by Louis hont Hell and

841
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Ronald having I believe he said was a five thousand

842
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: dollars bet on who would steal more bases this year?

843
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: And Louis hont Hell has I think five or rations

844
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: coming in to mess organizations.

845
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: Get money on Tuesday night.

846
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that story dropped Tuesday afternoon.

847
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that went out and three base.

848
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: That's That's how bad it is for Ronald Acuna. Since

849
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: the Braves screwed him and paid him no money. He's

850
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: making bets with his brothers in the minor league.

851
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: I know.

852
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: Imagine that his brothers probably almost as much money as him.

853
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: It's a real shame. I mean, it's an organization like

854
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: the Braves. You would think that they take care of

855
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: their stars, like I really hope that's not something that

856
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: really tears this locker room apart.

857
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: No, I can never hear future. It'd be terrible if

858
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: it did.

859
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Tension never, Yeah, ex I mean, like how much money,

860
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: Like fifty million, he's like over the fifty over fifty steals.

861
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: That's terrible ratio though, you know, I he should probably

862
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: just quit, like requests the trade.

863
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he should request.

864
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: The Trade's reason for him to do that for the

865
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: Marion himself if he has respect for the game. Yeah,

866
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: we'll get paid more one hundred percent. But yeah, hits

867
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: by pitch. I got number hits by pitch, hitch by pitch. Yeah,

868
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: I got something to number all right, John counts down

869
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: three to one, four, so close every arbitrary numbers were

870
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: close every time.

871
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: What we want?

872
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: James I said four, Mark said five. Someone has to win.

873
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: Someone has to win. Someone has to win. And you

874
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: pulled it within one. I pulled it within one. After

875
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: all the lefty lefty matchups that came in the Cup

876
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: series here, how many were there in total? Three three hits?

877
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: I think they were like seven at bats.

878
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: Nice a thousand bats to win would have been impossible.

879
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

880
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: Reviewing the Braves, I mean, we we know them. They're

881
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: good this team, like, okay, we have our fun. We

882
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: like to take shots at the Braves best even baseball. Probably, no,

883
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: they the best record in baseball?

884
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: Team?

885
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: Who is Look it's not them, that's fair, all right,

886
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: you don't respect who is it?

887
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: Who is it? Who is it?

888
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: Would be the Rangers. If it's not them, probably it's

889
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: it's the Braves.

890
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we know, don't tell anybody, Okay, No, I

891
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: means are pretty good team, but they have a rotation

892
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: full of guys who cannot.

893
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: Pitch in a big moment.

894
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Max Read's pitched in some pretty big moments. Charlie Morton, Yeah,

895
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: this more the real Strider has never pitched.

896

930
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, this Bray Teamtalus is one hundred RBIs for.

931
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: Some reason forty home runs now, like Frediye Freeman is

932
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: having the best year of his career, and the Braids like,

933
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: don't even miss him.

934
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: Though he'll miss him in the slightest it's just so rude.

935
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: They'll miss like one of the best players in the franchise.

936
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: History, whereas of like two of the five best catchers

937
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: in baseball. Yeah, I mean one of them we know

938
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: pretty well. One of them we're gonna know pretty well. Also,

939
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, you have to we in life. That's all

940
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: about second chances, and the Braves gave two of those

941
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: to Marcelo Zuna and he has he's having a good year.

942
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: He's twenty three home runs. Yeah, he plays way too much.

943
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Michael Harris was struggling the last time we

944
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: played them, and he was bad, and of course he

945
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: got hot. Now he's good hot for a while, where

946
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: lynd Orcia has cooled off a little bit and he's

947
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: still playing tremendous short stop. Yeah, I'm just happy that

948
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: he's the short stop beside that fraud fuon Grissom that

949
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: we know is gonna be a hell of a left

950
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: fielder one day, one day, one day's gonna be a

951
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: great left fielder.

952
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: But right now he is stonehands and new alarm. He's

953
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: still in the minor league. How Nicky Lopez is gonna

954
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: hurt us? That's my question, Nicky Lopez.

955
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: This is this something that flew for the under the

956
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: rail around the trade deadline because it was so random.

957
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: It actually happened right after we were in the studio

958
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: that Sunday, after the Schurzier trade episode. But the Braves

959
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: acquired Taylor Hearn from the Kansas City Royals after Hearn,

960
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I believe was dfade for cash considerations.

961
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, two days later.

962
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: They flipped Taylor Hearn, who was just acquired by them

963
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: off the scrap heap for nothing for a player Nicky

964
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: Lopez who was like a two win, three win utility player,

965
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: doesn't strike out, plays really good defense every spot on

966
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: the infield, no power of course. Yeah, with two more

967
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: full years of team control for literally nothing at a

968
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: lot of very smart people called it one of the

969
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: worst trades in baseball history, which is really funny to say.

970
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: The Royal side, Yeah, the royal side, of course, just

971
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: the fact that they gave the Braves. Like a free

972
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: utility man who's in this prime for nothing follows me

973
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter, that's probably gonna be a quick unfollow If

974
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: I had to guess, yeah, why well, because he's on

975
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: the Braves, I guess.

976
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 2: No, he's gonna have to unfollow me. He's got to

977
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: do it first.

978
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: Check if he has Let's see, yeah see, we'll see

979
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: live if Nicky Lopez is yet unfollowed, Taiwan Walker hasn't

980
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: yet unfollowed me.

981
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,680

984
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: It's so weird because just a year after we won

Speaker 2: four the five from them, that huge series of City

986
