1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: What Is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast, A very very happy episode

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: after taking two of three from the San Diego Padres.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: James, how we feel and feeling good? Right, feeling great?

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: It was a tough fought series, two really good teams,

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 3: probably two the best teams, better teams in the entire

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: National League, and just two teams gave each other everything

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: they had, and the Mets one too.

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: It was an extension of the wildcard series, right, we

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: just got Game six, going to Game seven on the

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: next one. I mean, it's good at least to see

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: that the Mets, who've I feel like, had some trouble

13
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: with the Padres over the last few years. They're good

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: team too, the Padres the last couple of seasons, but

15
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: that they came out and like they pretty much played

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: just better baseball than them. There wasn't like really any

17
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: one thing I feel like that stuck out of like

18
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: the Padres messed up here or the Mets did something

19
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: that was kind of crazy. It was just like good

20
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: baseball by both teams and the Mets just came out

21
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: on top. Yeah, Mets got like some decent like from

22
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: the starting pitcher every single night.

23
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 4: Nope, n all walks.

24
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: Not a hard contact entire series from San Diego Padres

25
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: on some other with the big home run on Wednesday,

26
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: but otherwise not Xander hit the late one on Tuesday

27
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: as well, but not a lot of loud contact. It

28
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: was just it was just two good baseball teams playing

29
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: good baseball.

30
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: Especially because the Padres came in I feel like hot,

31
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: like they started the year off cold. They went to Atlanta,

32
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: played really well in Atlanta, were hitting a lot, and

33
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the offense kind of was just cold a little bit.

34
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 4: In this year.

35
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: It's like Sures are going game one, McGill in game three, dude,

36
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: Pearson game two.

37
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: Like you said, they all did a really good job.

38
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, there wasn't like these like these games were long also,

39
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: especially in terms of how long other baseball games have

40
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: been this year, in games not played inside city Field,

41
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: but not a lot of sustained rallies, just not a

42
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: lot of moments of real like intensity like it was

43
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: just it was just really like level baseball.

44
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Which was really good to see, like to see especially

45
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: when the Mets come out on top.

46
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: In this series.

47
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: It's even better earlier, like, oh, good baseball and the

48
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Mets are the team that wins more games.

49
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: That's how it should be and a big reason for

50
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 3: this team success last year was just rubber games themselves.

51
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: The Mets had a ton of rubber games because it

52
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: was win one, lose two, win three, and it was

53
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: The recipe continues.

54
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Exactly what happened.

55
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,840

Speaker 1: That's like time traveling for us, Yes, a little bit.

86
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: We're talking in the future, but also in the past.

87
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about game one. Max Sure's are on the

88
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: bump going up against you Darvish. As we know, the

89
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: last time we saw Max sures or pitch against the

90
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: Padres did not really go so well. And you Darvish

91
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: most of the time in his career has had our number.

92
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: Not that way this time, which was awesome.

93
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: No, this was this was a real shift from the

94
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 3: way the Mets have faced Darvish in the past. Overall,

95
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: heading into this game, the metsa the only scored at

96
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: least four earned runs off You Darvish twice once in

97
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, which kind of barely counts four and runs

98
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen. It's like three earn runs every other year

99
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: in the history of baseball. Was that when he was

100
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: on the Cubs?

101
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 4: Yes?

102
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: Was that the legendary Jason Vargas I believe so, yeah,

103
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: that was the game. In the clubhouse game, John, if

104
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: there's a pause, I mean, I think we should leave

105
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: it in vido. But John's was just ripping, blowing his

106
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: nose right next to the mic.

107
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: We moved to wait five minutes for johnas scarfust salad

108
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: down hard and now he's blowing his nose on the mic.

109
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: Take a picture of him so I can I can

110
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: drop that in right scrouching this Jordan's game. That's what

111
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: this is.

112
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: Sorryiculous, but yeah, we're talking about Yeah, Tim Hely, Jason Vargas.

113
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: That was the last time the metsa score at least

114
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: four runs off you, Darvige. Otherwise, the starts against you,

115
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: darbish in their career nowhere in runs twice, one earn

116
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: run twice, the two earn runs once, and three earned

117
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: run once. I also remember you, Darvish, who statistically I

118
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: don't think a very good hitter owned the Mets at

119
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: the plate as well. I think it has some big

120
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: games that the plate Padres could have used them in

121
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: this one because as we know, they got shut out.

122
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: Yes, but uh yeah, it's really nice to get to

123
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: you Darvish.

124
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Also really nice that we get to see him early

125
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: in the season because the Padres, as we saw in

126
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: the seventh inning, sent him out for that extra inning

127
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: and it didn't really seem to make sense. I feel

128
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: like from anybody who was watching the game, like he

129
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: wasn't struggling, but it didn't feel like he was very

130
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: dominant or sharp. They sent him out for the seventh

131
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: I think because in the World Baseball Classic he just

132
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: didn't pitch much. He didn't get much of a spring training,

133
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: so they're trying to just artificially stretch him out a

134
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: little bit to get ready for like full season action

135
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: and ended up biting them in the in the butt

136
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: a little Yeah.

137
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: That's a goo point. Actually didn't think about that.

138
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: I was I was out playing softball mark skip softball

139
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: on Monday night to watch this game and dedicated to

140
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: the grind of watching Mets baseball.

141
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: That's what it is.

142
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: But checking the old guys on the board early in

143
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: this game with a nice rope double down the line,

144
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: and then in that seventh inning when things unraveled the

145
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 3: bomb of the other start of the rally, there was

146
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: a cand of walk, there was an arrow made.

147
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: We got the beautiful bunt by Lewiski or may that

148
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: just say on the line, do we know who the

149
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: groundskeepers are here?

150
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't know any name?

151
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 5: Bill Deacon, the legend Bill Deacons. Bake out big Vancouver

152
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 5: Canucks fan Bill Decons.

153
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 4: Really got to drop that crazy.

154
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: Of course you haven't really mixed in a lot of

155
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: hockey recently, so, but shout out Bill Deacon because whatever

156
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: they did with the third baseline, it was working beautifully

157
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: for the Mets with that Luiski ormey bunt that's just

158
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: sat perfectly, and then Tomaso with the swinging bunt that

159
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: sat perfectly.

160
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: And got shut out Janey and social media because that

161
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: picture that went out the next day of the bunts

162
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: right on the chalk in the louver was incredible.

163
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: That was that was good content, right, the.

164
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 3: Really good content, and that was that was big for

165
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: this rally be huge. You never really feel that settled

166
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: in the late in the game, when you're only up two,

167
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: up five, you can put your feet up one hundred

168
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: and Lindor got the big double broke it open. But

169
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: I think the story in this game was Max Scherzer.

170
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: That's what everyone's eyes were on, kind of like realigning

171
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: himself back to where we want him to be and

172
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: where it's he always has been. Five innings, six strikeouts,

173
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: one hit, three walks, nowhere and runs. The first picture

174
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: started the shutout for the Mets, only one hard hit

175
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: ball and it was on Jake Croner. With out Padres

176
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: entire game, he had three hard hit balls versus ten

177
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: from the Mets, which I feel like with Shers' last

178
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: few starts to start the year, like there had been

179
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: some hard hit baseball.

180
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: That right there already is a huge improvement. The fact

181
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: that the Padres have a very very good lineup, like

182
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the top tier of hittersp corn muscle, Yeah,

183
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: that's the popcorn muscles exactly. So like when you can

184
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: limit Manny Machado, Jan Soto, Xander Bogart, Shake Crone with

185
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: those guys to only three hard hit balls in the game,

186
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: you're probably doing something right. And zero from that big three, Yeah,

187
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: that's huge, massive, But I still think that just watching

188
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: this game.

189
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: He also did get a lot of whifs in the start. Yep,

190
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: it was like he was missing bassist Fellt lit Old Sharzer.

191
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: But it still felt like there were many times where

192
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: he either couldn't put somebody away or just didn't put

193
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: the pitch exactly where he wanted it. I do think

194
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: that has been a bit of a theme for Max

195
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: early in the season. I think it just this could

196
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: be a cold weather thing. Just it was so cold

197
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: command coming along in a way from Max Scherzer, like

198
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: just last the way last season ended like one he

199
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: was injured and then those last couple of bad starts

200
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: and it felt like kind of possibly a little weird,

201
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: but something nosing over and over against the sliders keep

202
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: just backing up on him little bit.

203
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's like when you guys watch this on.

204
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: TV, it kind of just looks like a slider that

205
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: stops sliding, like you see it spinning and it will

206
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: just sit rather than move the way it always does.

207
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: And that is an issue because and that pitch is

208
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: gonna sit there and now it's just nice to have

209
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: for the hitter. It didn't hear the much in this game,

210
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: less in this start than the last few but it's

211
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: still like it seems like just too many pitches the

212
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: middle of the zone. I went back and looked some

213
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: stats from this five of seven of the curveballs that

214
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: maxers are through on Monday night were let land in

215
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: the heart of the zone.

216
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: To be fair, though, Max chers or does use that

217
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: curveball early in the count as kind of like get

218
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: me over, you're not expecting it, let me get an

219
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: early strike. So I feel like that's probably why a

220
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of those do end up in the heart.

221
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: Two hundred percent.

222
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: But then I look back at the last couple of

223
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: years and so far the season, he's almost forty percent

224
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: heart rate on that curveball thirty seven. Last year was

225
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: twenty seven year before twenty three, and again this very

226
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: small sample, he's rowing thirty seven curveball so far the season,

227
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: so and even just dropping five of them in the

228
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: heart of the zone this start really made that go up.

229
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: So not something like that's worries somebody, just something to

230
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: keep an eye on the fact that maybe it's like

231
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: a little it's because happening with sliders. Well, I just

232
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: feel like some of them are just more in the

233
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: middle of the zone, just something to keep an eye

234
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: on the command of Max Sure's breaking balls, because that

235
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: slider also is just not getting the swings and misses

236
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: it got last year. Yeah, and again that could be

237
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: cold weather, that could be early in the season. That

238
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: could very small sample size right now as well, Like

239
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: that can even out the next two starts very easily.

240
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 3: But the with rates swings, strike rate rates are lagging

241
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: a little bit, and there's a little more drop on

242
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: that pitch right now. It's just moving a little more

243
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: vertically than it has in the past. So just on

244
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: the watch, really positive started. The overall from Max Suer is

245
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: a clear step in the right direction. But definitely let's

246
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: all keep an eye on like Max shures are going forward.

247
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he gave us a sort that we really needed.

248
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of Mets fans even though

249
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: like we took the series from the Marlins, or I mean,

250
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: like right now, maybe we can all take like a

251
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: side deep breath, like like we can let one out,

252
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot of people came in,

253
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: especially Game one, like a little nervous, a little anxious.

254
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: The last time we saw this team in City Field,

255
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: it did not go our way. It ended pretty horribly,

256
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: even in San Diego. Yeah, even in San Diego. So

257
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I don't want to speak for

258
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Mets fans, but I got to assume we feel a

259
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: lot better after this series than we did coming into it, right,

260
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: of course, And good for us for being the first

261
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: people to support Max Schers their last episode, a future

262
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer who's had two bad starts actually not

263
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: one best start actually, so good on us for that

264
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: one twentieth shut out since the start of last season.

265
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: Most in baseball, it's pretty sick.

266
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: Yep and Padres in this game played like a team

267
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: that was on Sunday Night Baseball the day before.

268
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: Which I love.

269
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 4: I love.

270
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I love getting to play a team that comes off

271
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: the Sunday night baseball game. It still blows my mind

272
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: that they like do that, they give like the Sunday

273
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: night baseball game.

274
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: At least they didn't come from San Diego.

275
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: They were just coming from Atlanta, so it was like a

276
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: two and a half hour flight or whatever it was.

277
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: But that's got to suck to fly out like one

278
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning, get to New York, sleep a

279
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: couple hours, and head to the stadium. So weird, weird

280
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: thing that's like always been in baseball and doesn't seem

281
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: like I ever will leave that you have to take

282
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: the flight right after, like John's got something for us.

283
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 5: I just had a question for you guys. So the flight,

284
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 5: I think is the reason why Nelson Cruz did not

285
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: play Game one. Really older guy had six RBIs the

286
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 5: night before. A little tight open the door for Matt

287
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 5: Carpenter to play. Yes, who's got an incredible duster? Yeah,

288
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 5: as there is Trent Grisham. I mean, I didn't think

289
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: Trent Grisham was the duster kind of guy. And you

290
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 5: have Steven to go sick. So I want you guys

291
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: to rank the three mustaches that we saw this series.

292
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, that's an interesting Yeah. Trent Grishams honestly

293
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: is the worst. Trent Grishams is horrible. I think I

294
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: thought it's the best. Also, I was gonna say Grishams

295
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: could be the best. I think if there was a

296
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: little bit more maintenance stuff on the side.

297
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: It's not well kept.

298
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think this kind of was going for sometimes,

299
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: like with mustache and beards. I know from my own

300
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 3: experience it's much hard to grow mustache.

301
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: And the beard for me.

302
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: Really, yes, I'm the exact opposite. Really, I could grow

303
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: I could gross grow real gross mustache.

304
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 2: There was no beard.

305
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: If I ever would shave everything here, the beard would

306
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: come in pretty instantly and the mustache would take about

307
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: a wow. Interesting the last time I came in, I've

308
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: never even come close to a beard. Yeah, I think

309
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: I would go, I'm Carpenter one. Yeah, Carpenter, I think

310
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: is one to Gostic two and then Grisham three. For me,

311
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: I was I kind of like Grisams more than the Gostic,

312
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: but I wanted to give him the Goosik, the no

313
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: ever Grisham for being a met.

314
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: And I got it. Yeah, that's fairy like that.

315
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: But I also I gotta say, like with Matt Carpentry,

316
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: he's a tough one to beat too, because he went

317
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: to the Yankees and really was like, okay, no facial hair,

318
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: which I think he did have facial hair when he

319
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: played with the Cardinals a little bit.

320
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: At times it's like I'm gonna rock the mustache and

321
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: he's kind of just rolled with it.

322
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he shaves it though, because the season's not going

323
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: that well as was last year with the Yankees.

324
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 3: I don't think it goes as well as last year.

325
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: He was like Barry Bonds pretty much. It was kind

326
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: of ridiculous but interesting.

327
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: Good point there. Didn't realized that.

328
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: Great stashes great stuff.

329
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 5: I think Grishiams is first of all, I'm a big

330
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,119
Speaker 5: trank grishiam guy. He really kill happened to him in Milwaukee.

331
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 5: I mean he was, he was rage traded. That was

332
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 5: a I mean, humiliating doesn't even begin to describe it.

333
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 5: That that like was a catalyst to get the national Josh. Yeah, yeah,

334
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 5: that's a great point.

335
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that.

336
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 5: But his stash literally on the on the scoreboard, and

337
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 5: obviously it's big and you could see everything. It almost

338
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: looks like oddly photoshopped on. It's just so it is

339
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: out of place.

340
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: But I.

341
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: Mustache is solid. I mean it's it's a good baseball look.

342
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: It's a baseball look that we see him for a while.

343
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: Now move on the game too, though this one didn't

344
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: go our way, but like there were again good things

345
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: to talk about here, and I feel like David Peterson

346
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: to start with it, like good start from him. Yeah,

347
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: I think it was the best start of the season.

348
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: He was attacking the zone over and over again. It

349
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: was kind of an interesting thing where he really dramatically

350
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: changed his repertoire midway through this game.

351
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: First time through the order.

352
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 3: Fastballs, fastballs, fastballs, fastballs, fastballs, and the second time he

353
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: went through significantly more sinkers and sliders, kind of just

354
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 3: completely switch the repertoire. It's not sure if that was

355
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 3: a field thing, not sure if that was a scathing thing,

356
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 3: and not sure if he just didn't like it the

357
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: way what happened first time, just wanted to try to

358
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 3: trick these players the second time. But cool to see

359
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: him like make an interesting cerebral move like that in

360
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: the middle of a game. And similar to his first

361
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: start of the year, his slyder was his most thrown

362
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: pitch in this game, which is really cool for David

363
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: Peterson because that slytherer is his best pitch and we

364
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: see that time and time again. The more he throws

365
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: that pitch usually the more successful he is, and that

366
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: was definitely true in this game and also very even

367
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: pitch distribution too. When it was all said and done,

368
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: that's curveballs, lots change ups, everything was kind of even.

369
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: Look was on their good pitching, Yeah, good pitching.

370
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: It would have been incredible pitching if it was not

371
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: for future Hall of Famer Manny Machado, the two strike

372
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: double down the line. You just you tip your cap.

373
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: He's a future Hall of Famer, one of the best

374
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: of their basement to ever play the game like he's

375
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Sometimes the best player is gonna beat you,

376
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: for sure, especially when you see him third time through.

377
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: I think they really wanted to get them through a

378
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: six eding in this game and right move to send

379
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: him back out there to about out there for sure.

380
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: But then you kind of get to Maya, Machado ends

381
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: in and you get to the righty's there after seven

382
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: and nine, the other got on.

383
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably could have. Yeah, something else could happen there,

384
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: But you know.

385
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: Love what love Yeah, I mean, if you want to

386
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 3: get the guy through and also play a lot of

387
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: games a lot of days. Here they're trying to get

388
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: some liketh but the right versus the lefty the third

389
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: time through, But again you tip your Capit of the

390
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, and really, at the end of the day,

391
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 3: it just was a game of missed opportunities. You kind

392
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: of knew something was weird in the air when they

393
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: started the game off bases loaded, nobody out, and then

394
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: we didn't score a run and we got a little

395
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: glimpse of that today too, which was a little bit scary.

396
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 3: Luckily you came through, but yeah, it was just like

397
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: when you start the game like that and then you

398
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: can't come through if it puts a weird feeling in

399
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 3: the air.

400
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: Granted we weren't at the stadium for this one. We

401
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: were hanging out in Brooklyn watching the game. But yeah,

402
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: that was a tough first sitting.

403
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then also you get to the fourth ending,

404
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: you got first and third, no outs and you always

405
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: score one run.

406
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 4: He got picked off, which, yeah, that was that was

407
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 4: a tough one.

408
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: Lindora had the big at bat in the eighth was

409
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: second and third, two guys out, and then Francisco Olivers

410
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: had the very big opportunity.

411
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah looks and yeah, looked like was trying to do

412
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: a lot. I think want to be the hero. I like,

413
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: I like the idea of not being afraid of the challenge.

414
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: But Josh Hader seemed to be like, oh, I you

415
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: probably guess we had almost anything.

416
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: I throw you up in the zone and hit it

417
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: looks really really back this year after does it really? Yeah,

418
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: after that weird if that weird like thing could happen

419
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: to him lat summer, he just wasn't good anymore. But

420
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: he looks pretty, looks pretty okay now again.

421
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were a few tweets floating out about, oh,

422
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: we're worried about Francisco Alvarez and uh, I mean, quite frankly,

423
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 5: there's only one pitcher in baseball right now with a

424
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 5: better strikeout rate than Josh Hater. It's New Jersey's own

425
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 5: Ron Marinaccio. So I don't like it because the Yankee

426
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 5: thing on a New Jersey thing I'm down with. But yeah,

427
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 5: Hater's filthy, So I think that's a tip cap.

428
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like he's a young player who definitely

429
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: wants to do a lot for this team, saw an

430
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a huge, huge impact, Like we said,

431
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: like you want to play hero, It's gonna happen.

432
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: He's twenty one years old. By no means.

433
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: Should there be anybody anybody freaking out about this yet,

434
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: Like he's he's he's here early, he's here before he was.

435
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: He should be kind of thing so early. I mean,

436
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: how old Dadley Rushman twenty five ye five years. He's

437
00:14:59,440 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: like as old as you.

438
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like.

439
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: Literally actually actually almost aldes his job, which is crazy

440
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: because Chris Calvarez is a pup And you look through

441
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: the first twenty two play appearances franciscou Aalvare's career and

442
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: you see the slash line one fifty twenty seven, two hundred. Yeah,

443
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: but then wait, you step back a second. That's not

444
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: for Siscualvarez. I tricked you. That was Mike Trout's first

445
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: twenty two play appearance of his career. Oh so there

446
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: is possible for elite prospects to come up and not

447
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: be elite right away and be good.

448
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 4: Not to use another Yankee thing here, but Aaron Judge

449
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 4: was horrible his first year.

450
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: I could say something else that's even crazier about that comparison.

451
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: Francisco Alvarez does have a one to fifty average and

452
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: two twenty seven on base percentage through twenty two play appearances. Wow,

453
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: that's like unbelievably. Yes, yes, but he has a higher

454
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: slug percentage. I mean trying to have a home run

455
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: yet thro those play appearances. Francisco Averres does, yes, compare

456
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: him to Mike Try to like that, yes, so why not?

457
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: And also just I think there's a lot of people

458
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: who we see the top prospect, we want him right now,

459
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: like instant gratification.

460
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like not at all. How Like, player development

461
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: works in baseball.

462
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: Really hard to find, especially at the catcher position, really

463
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: really hard, Like and getting to Jordan Walker like the

464
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals have. As you can tell, it doesn't really happen often.

465
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: No, Like basically once a year you get the guy

466
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: who's like, oh my god, it was Julio, Yeah, Jordan Walker.

467
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Think back to a couple of years hotists.

468
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they go.

469
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guys who walked on the field, You're like, wow,

470
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: this is this is really different. None of them caught,

471
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: by the way, Yeah, that's something with catching, Like you

472
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: look on the other side of field, even this game specifically,

473
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: and you see Louis Campusano, who for years and years

474
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty was regard that's if

475
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: not one of the best, if not the best catching

476
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: prospect in baseball, one of the best catching prospects in baseball,

477
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: and it's taken him actual years, yeah, to get into

478
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: a spot where like he can be functional for the

479
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: major League team probably had the best game of his

480
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: career that night. He three hard hit balls, three hits,

481
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: and he was smashing the ball. He looked really good

482
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: and physically imposing. But not saying at all that that's

483
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: the expectation for Albert has but just saying that this

484
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: doesn't happen, like this does not MLB the show where

485
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: you keep playing games, your overall keeps getting better, Like

486
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: that's just not how it is. Gonna be up and down,

487
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: good games, bad games, And it's hard when you're not

488
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: in every day role too.

489
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: One hundred percent.

490
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: Like I was talking to Jabari Blash like years ago

491
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: when I met him and talking about like what it's

492
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: like coming off the bench and like not having an

493
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: everyday role, and he's like, it is really tough, Like

494
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: you end up being a little more aggressive than normal

495
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: because you're like, I have my opportunity to show my

496
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: skills off. I have the opportunity to make an impact.

497
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I do it, so I

498
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: play more. Francess Goavrez right now, as we know, is

499
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: the backup catcher to Tomas Nino is gonna be playing

500
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: pretty much every single day. I'm sure Alvarez, like in

501
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: his head is like what we were talking about, like

502
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: maybe chasing a little bit more, swinging a little bit more.

503
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure in his head he's like, I got an

504
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to let me show everybody how good I am,

505
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: so they have to keep playing me more.

506
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: And Alfred is the guy who ran amazing walk rates

507
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 3: in the minor league, so like passivity is something that

508
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: is probably if he's being more passive me, he's probably

509
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 3: feeling better, yes about his game right now. It's just

510
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: hard adjusting the major league pitching while also trying to

511
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: catch while being twenty one years old.

512
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 4: He's four years younger than Avalie Ross.

513
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: He's twenty one, twenty one. He's so so so young.

514
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: Pump the brakes. If you're one of those Mets fans.

515
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: If I don't think a lot of you that listen

516
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: to us are, I think we've done a really good

517
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: job of making sure we don't have the crazy Met

518
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: fans that would say something like that. I was like,

519
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: but for those of you that are out there existing

520
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: and listening to us, please just easy, easy, take it easy.

521
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: It'll be okay.

522
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got time. Game two.

523
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: We also got to see David Weathers in the stadium

524
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: for We're met former like ten different other teams, but

525
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: his son, Ryan Weathers may the start looked like kind

526
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: of okay, like I.

527
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: Looked up, I mean, got that fastball ups like ninety six.

528
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: That's we had a sweeper just sweeping around. It was

529
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: hard to square hm up. They also wasn't missing that

530
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: many bats and that was really annoying.

531
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Games and I think they interviewed him on us and

532
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: y too, David Weathers, and I'm like, yeah, he probably is,

533
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: like I'd really love to just like watch my son pitch.

534
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: And we were watching the game and we didn't have volumes,

535
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: so we just saw them continue to like show him

536
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: and talk to him.

537
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: We're like, I wish you'd probably just really won't relaxed.

538
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: Like I'm really nervous about my son's performance right now,

539
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: please stop asking me questions. Anyway, lost that game again,

540
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: gaming missed opportunities. What it is, sometimes you lose. At

541
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: the end of the day, these are two really good teams.

542
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Like we said in game one, sometimes you're gonna win,

543
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you're gonna lose. Luckily for us, we had another game,

544
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: Game three, and it was huge. We got the win.

545
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: We win the series. I mean in the stadium felt

546
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: really good. You got to go up into the press

547
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: box for the first time ever. We were official boys.

548
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: We got our media passes now, so we're sitting in

549
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: the press box and me and James are scoring some

550
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: late runs just like quiet little little fist bumps, and

551
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: you can't you can't try five.

552
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: Leaves me hanging here right now. I'm just dying. You're

553
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: just like mimicking and you're looking for Yeah, give me

554
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: another one.

555
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: But it was it was really nice to see the

556
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: Mets play very clean game, pretty good baseball all around,

557
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: like the defense, They drove in runs when they needed to.

558
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 2: The pitching was solid.

559
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: Gotta started with Tyler McGill had another really good start also,

560
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: I wanted to I think the shape of this game

561
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 3: was something that we can hang our hat on as well,

562
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: because in the first inning, Wan Soo hit a home

563
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: run that would have gone just straight into the marina

564
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: if there wasn't any if there wasn't any kind of

565
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 3: wall or function there.

566
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: He will give one Soto some love here just for

567
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: a quick second. We respect baseball. One Soda is one

568
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: of the best that we've seen in our lifetime, which

569
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: is crazy because he's twenty four, twenty three years old,

570
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: but he put a ball in a spot that I

571
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: mean we were talking about earlier. We have not really

572
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: seen anybody else hit that area since like Adam Dunn

573
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: hit it back off the shade bridge. He hit it

574
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: so hard off the bridge that it bounced back onto

575
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: the field basically on a fly, which is like, just

576
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: to wrap your head around that idea. It bounced like

577
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: ninety feet off the bridge. I was still in the

578
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: seven train on the way here, and how he goes

579
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: that was a shot, man, I mean, there was no

580
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: other way to explain it. He hit really hard again

581
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: another one of those you tip your cap one. It

582
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: was a really really good ball player. We did a

583
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: great job this series with him, a great job.

584
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: And he seems to like really love playing a city

585
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: field curtsy a genre here. That was one of those

586
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: third home run that was at least four hundred and

587
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 3: fifty feet at city field in his career. God, it's

588
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 3: crazy so far and he's younger than Adlie Rushman.

589
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: I would like to know if Keith Hernandez at the

590
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: time was saying that he's not much of a.

591
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: Power hitter, and then you mentioned it the other night.

592
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: It was upsetting. Yeah, no, he's I mean want so

593
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: it was just one of the best players. Enough of one.

594
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: So though, let's talk about Tyler McGill, because right after

595
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: that really settled in super soil down. He didn't allow

596
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: another hit after that home run until Xander Boguards hit

597
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: hit single in the fourth that tied the estimate. As

598
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: is a little sneak peak, we're going to talk about five.

599
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: Minutes, so that six.

600
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like, this was an interesting star for McGill

601
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: because he again wasn't really missing that many bats, and

602
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: he didn't really seem to have a great feel for

603
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: either of his breaking balls because it was all fastballs

604
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: and change ups.

605
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: He threw at the right here.

606
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 3: Fourteen total sliders and curveballs in this game out of

607
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: eighty three ish pitches that he threw, so very low

608
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: pase on his dacra. His per game average is usually

609
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: only five hard hit balls though, got a lot of

610
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: pop ups, lots of lazy fly balls in this game,

611
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: not a lot of ground something I told you guys

612
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: to watch for last time. So that probably wasn't nominally

613
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: for Tyler McGill, but still a good anomaly. It's all worked,

614
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: it's all happened, and it just he just went out

615
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 3: there and just he just pitched.

616
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: Well, dude, shout out Tyler McGill again.

617
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: Like last year, when you know our pitching went down,

618
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: he came up as a guy who wasn't even spoke

619
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: he started Opening Day, he came in, did a great job,

620
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: and he's doing it again. A guy who was sent

621
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: down to start the year, essentially demoted. I'm sure that

622
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: like can be a little crushing for a guy who's

623
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: been good at the major league level for sure, had numbers,

624
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: had success. He comes right up when Justin Verlander gets injured,

625
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: and he has been exactly what we need. He's been consistent,

626
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: five six innings every start, keeping the games close, even sometimes.

627
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: Putting us in a position to win. In those scenarios,

628
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 3: I would say, actually all of them. He has to heals,

629
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: made three starts, and he has three wins. He's not

630
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: the Wins podcast, but that's happened.

631
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been really, really good, And I feel like

632
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: that's something that should be spotlighted. Is the guy like

633
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: really wasn't in theory's supposed to be pitching these games

634
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: just yet, and he's come in and you wouldn't have

635
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: a clue if you weren't like an actual Mets fan

636
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: for sure, and again just having giving up that home

637
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: run and then just holding like the Mets get back

638
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: into it because brand Nemoh the double gossa run, then

639
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: Francisco indoor, then nice home run right down the line.

640
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 2: Really hugged that baby lead off an ending.

641
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: Which is funny because right before that we were like,

642
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: oh man, listen, we can missing a little bit.

643
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: And then the next pitch bang right right down the line.

644
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 3: I think Mark literally said something that was righty swing

645
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: right now. I don't know, it doesn't feel like it

646
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: usually does. The next pitch he hit a home run

647
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: and is real. Yeah, we had great jinxing for us.

648
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: We needed that one, and then Pete hit the home run.

649
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: After that, it's five home runs back from Lucas Duda

650
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: for the most home runs in City Field history with

651
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: sixty six due the having seventy one.

652
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, two power hitting first basement, that is for sure.

653
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: And we were also watching that over like section one

654
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight. We were standing up there and met your friend. Yeah,

655
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: and I think I looked at you when Pete came up.

656
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: I was like, how about Peter home Peter Alonzo home

657
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: run right about now, and like next as soon as

658
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: got him.

659
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: Like god, let's go.

660
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: The jinxing powers are real, but they also have to

661
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 3: be genuine, Like you can't said you can't fake it.

662
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: If it happens once in a while, then it actually

663
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 3: really did happen. But if you do too much and

664
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: you kind of lose the whole git to say.

665
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: Quite forced.

666
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: We forced the Francisco Alvarez one last night. Yeah on

667
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: my Twitter where I was like basically coming to the name

668
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: my child Francisco if he hits a home run here,

669
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: we forced it. That was that was not organic. That's

670
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: on me, Francisco, It's not on you. But this game

671
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: we were.

672
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: We were legitimate.

673
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 3: And then just to clean up about how good the

674
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: mess hitters did this game. This was a massive game

675
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: for Tommy fam. We've been playing a lot of lefties

676
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: and plays them. I mean, hey, he's ready. He just

677
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: he just keeps hitting the ball hard. One time he

678
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 3: had a two hard ground to all play with two

679
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: men on. But again he keep hitting it hard. Good

680
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 3: thing's gonna happen. Three hard hit balls, two hits, stole

681
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 3: a bag score the run, drove another end, got a

682
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: big insurance run for us in the seventh and age

683
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: and just having him moved to the bottom that order

684
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: against lefties. Interesting that I'll hit seventh and sometimes first

685
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: like nowhere in between, but he just doesn't. He really

686
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 3: just takes good at bats against them time and time again.

687
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: It's a good ballplayer.

688
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: I believe that RBI and the seventh was off already.

689
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: Would that be off of Honeywell? I think it was

690
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: off Honeywell, which makes sense.

691
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: And like, I mean, he's been swinging the back really

692
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: well ever since he got those contacts, and Tommy Fam

693
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: seems to be somewhat back right, Like I mean, the

694
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: hard hit rate has been great. That's all you can

695
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: really ask for. Like he never left, Like he never left. However,

696
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: how happy are you about that one?

697
00:23:59,560 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: James?

698
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: So that's been your guy since we started this podcast,

699
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: before we came with the Mets. Every off season you're like,

700
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Tommy Fam is available, cheap, bring him to Queens And

701
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: now he's here, When are you getting to Tommy Fam

702
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: shirt or jersey?

703
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: That's the real question down for Tommy fan. Sure is

704
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 3: I'm totally ready for that. He was on probably like

705
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: forty fifty percent of my fancy baseball teams between twenty

706
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: fifteen and twenty twenty. It's Tommy Fam, the number one

707
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: guy that we haven't spoke to yet that you want

708
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: to get an interview with.

709
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: Yes and no, I'm intimidated by Tommy Fam for sure.

710
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: The guy is serious.

711
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the stir that the great TikTok the Mets

712
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 3: put up Tuesday. And you guys listening to this, ask

713
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: everyone the team they're pet Peeve and Tommy Fam very

714
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: sternly just said general dirtiness.

715
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: It's I grew up in a clean household.

716
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: That one was a great answer, and Francisco Indoors like, man,

717
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: life's good, I.

718
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 4: Got no problems.

719
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: The most hair on the shower was really funny.

00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: And Edward O Escobar saying what's his favorite pet or

721
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,560

00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: Peeve? What is his pet Peeve?

723
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 4: Cats?

724
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't like cats. That's not really a petty

725
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: I have just like taking that in like very literally.

726
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: What's his least favorite pet? Yeah, what's your least favorite

727
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,479

728
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's a really funny video of the

729
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 3: world Baseball Classic. Everyone should find where they have a

730
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,240

731
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: and they like came at him with a cat like

732
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 3: in like their cafeteria wherever they were staying or hanging whatever.

733
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: And he's just screaming to get the cat away from me,

734
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: like spins out of it.

735
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 4: It was really funny.

736
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: Careful, you know, John, whenever we play like the Tigers

737
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: this year, Yeah, let's find out Wardo Escobar's numbers against cats.

738
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: That's not a bad one. You guys know that he

739
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 5: obviously played for Arizona. Yes, yes, you know their mascot.

740
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: They do have a big cat mascot.

741
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: Oh my, really, it's like a.

742
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Snake because you can't really make a snake costume. Snakes.

743
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: Snakes don't have arms or legs. How are you gonna

744
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: make a costume?

745
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 4: What kind of kid is good? Like mascots for the kids? Well,

746
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: who's gonna like a snake?

747
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: You can make a friendly snake. But why did you

748
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: name the team that then I think.

749
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 5: Should have been named they play in the desert to

750
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 5: be fair, the Mets.

751
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: The Mets are named the Mets and their mascots of

752
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: baseball so I mean.

753
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Metropolitans were in New York as a baseball head.

754
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 3: Great, yeah, I know. I mean it is really happy birthday.

Speaker 3: for him. Who's mister Mett's father?

757
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 5: That that was the question question The birthday begs the

758
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 5: question who are the parents?

759
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: Haven't solved that mystery? Yeah?

760
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: God damn. That was kind of funny. Also a huge

761
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: game from brand Nemo here. Yes, five hard hit balls

762
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 3: and brand Nemo kind of ridic a lot. Yes, double

763
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: three hits two. RBIs just really crushed on the top

764
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: of the other as he always does, and was against

765
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: a lefty. Do you remember the days a couple of

766
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: years ago Brandon wasn't playing against lefties, he was moving

767
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: down the order against him. Now he shows up against

768
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: lefty one who's generally okay and Blake Snell and says,

769
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna hit you.

770
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: I'm gona hit you hard.

771
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: That sentence is very funny, out loud and one who's

772
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: generally okay.

773
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: He's kind of a decent picture.

774
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes he's decent picture once in a while, but sometimes

775
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: like today, he just doesn't throw strikes.

776
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 4: Sounds weird.

777
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 2: He threw like seventy percent fastball today. Very strange.

778
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: That is weird, Yau. This is his slider really good. Yeah, fantastic. Okay,

779
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 3: you know, shout thanks, thanks for throwing more fastballs. We

780
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: appreciate it does does some good. Last bit of hyping

781
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: up the padres here before we say anything, but it's

782
00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: not even hyping it up.

783
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: A shit out annoyance John's favorite mustache. Trent Grisham three

784
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: walks today. This guy, if he played against the Mets,

785
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: he would be a top five outfielder in baseball.

786
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: It really add a lot of a drama late in

787
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: this game, that trank Grisam continued to draw walks hitting

788
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: ahead of man a lot of stress. I just just

789
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 3: throw him a striker, Yeah, but he just let him

790
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: let him hit it.

791
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: What he does. He really doesn't put it anyway. He's

792
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: like a career like two thirty hither. That's that's being generous.

793
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: He's a good point.

794
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: I think he's a good player, yeah, Mark, Yeah, we were

795
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: staunching on the Trank Grishan bandwagon before last year and

796
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 3: he disappointed me tremendously. Yeah, but however, I still think

797
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: he's a good player. When I would take on my

798
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: team any.

799
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: Day of the week.

800
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

801
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean they should give him Taylor Words treatment like

802
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: they did in this game. Hit him in front of

803
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: the two best hitters on your team so that they

804
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: have to see strikes or he walks and he gets on.

805
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

806
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: Also some pretty good use of the bullpen in this game.

807
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 4: Great use.

808
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: Brooks Raley came in the sixth inning to face one

809
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 3: so though even though we knew there was gonna be

810
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: another one, so to play the appearce because I was

811
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: only the sixth inning. And then in the seventh inning

812
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 3: when he came up with men on, David Roberson came

813
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: in and then again David Robs went through and pitch

814
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 3: the eighth Because in a bullpen it only has one lefty.

815
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: You look at all these pitchers, like, who's the next

816
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 3: best chance to get this really talented lefty out, And

817
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: it's David Roberson. Yeah, because he has the up and

818
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 3: down carved ball, his cother gets lost off contact, and

819
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: he's just he is the best believer in this bullpen

820
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: right now. He's looked so good in every single appearance. Incredible,

821
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: And that was that was that was really good use

822
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: to the bullpen. Very happy about that.

823
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: Really cool too, because at times like last year, we

824
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: would see like maybe like it's different when you have

825
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz because he has like your ninth inning guy

826
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: and like closer. But we saw it later in the

827
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: year that like Buck was getting a little more creative

828
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: of like these are this is really the same right now.

829
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: This is really the three biggest outs that we need

830
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: to get. And that's exactly what he did with Robertson today.

831
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: Some of that Me and you were, you know, big

832
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: fans of how the Rays run their bullpen.

833
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: That's that's right out of the race playbook.

834
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 3: I remember the one time last year we talked about

835
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: all the time still that Trevor Williams face want so

836
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: though and whatever it was the eighth or ninth inning

837
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: and that was like no, everyone's like, it's only April, Like, no,

838
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: it's all the games Ken for one.

839
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: Good job though. Yeah, this was good.

840
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: This was really good game all around, good team win.

841
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: Tyler mcgillbaar down, go work by Buck. Bats came out great,

842
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: great game.

843
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: Fun little fact here too from Johnny Stats fourteen steals

844
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: in eleven games for the Mets. They didn't steal their

845
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: fourteenth base until the thirty first game of the season

846
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: last year.

847
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: I think, Jeff, you all had a steal today.

848
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: I will remember the last time he stow based McNeil,

849
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: the Steel fam had the steal. Nimo is still even

850
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: stolen a few Backsday is always running. They've been a

851
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: versus tall Basis on doorhead one the other night. I like.

852
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: I like that they're getting a little creative on the

853
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: base path, like it's canem I've sneaked steel one today.

854
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: We thought he was out, that he was sacked out,

855
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: but it was inconclusive, which means the call stands not confirmed.

856
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 3: And the Padres lost their challenge and had another pretty

857
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 3: challenge will play later in the game.

858
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: They weren't able to challenge.

859
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: It went till mass Neo signed into thirties. Definitely out

860
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: at the third.

861
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but great great win free days when good

862
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: day the ballpark, seventy degrees, slight, breeze, sun everywhere, so

863
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: nice pack day two, even though it was Wednesday afternoon.

864
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 3: Really shout out this the Mets faithful for getting out

865
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: here for these three games against what's becoming a rival.

866
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: I think it was thirty five thousand. What's the stadium hold?

867
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the official number, thirty five thousand

868
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: game on a Wednesday day game in April.

869
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.

870
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: You think the sun was the reason or you think

871
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: there was like a little spring break action too.

872
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 4: I think both.

873
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 3: I also do think is the Padres like people want

874
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 3: to come and see this team. Like he seems said

875
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: last episode, I don't think I like each other. No,

876
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: I don't think they really wants to win the series.

877
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: They don't like each other, but there isn't like any animosity.

878
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: It seems like on the field, like like when we

879
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: play those Phillies and then the rat Jose Alvarado's on

880
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: the mountain, there's there's some hatred there, Jose al varaz.

881
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: Streaking out like what eighty percent of the batteries face

882
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: this season. Don't worry about It's still the Phillies book.

883
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: They still will crumble when they have to. And we

884
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: do have another series coming up against the Oakland A's.

885
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 3: But before we get going into that, you know, we

886
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: got to do the estimate. The last one ended. We

887
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: we knew it was gonna happen.

888
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: Yep, I guess five extra total basis for Xander Bogart's

889
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: James said seven. We literally said on the podcast, go

890
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: back and watch it, it's gonna be six. And what

891
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: was the number, James? Exactly six? So John, what do

892
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: you got cooking up for us this time? Maybe maybe

893
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: we won't have a tie because we've now had three

894
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: four series? Yeah, fourth series, but this will be yeah wait, yeah,

895
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: this will be the fourth series?

896
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: Was the fourth series?

897
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: It's one?

898
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: Nothing? Yes, one nothing?

899
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: Well again, my my sayor problems contributed to that, but yeah, no,

900
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 5: that's I mean, hey, you can't predict baseball. Just like

901
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 5: Alexisdas last year. I wasn't pitching the series. It's no

902
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 5: and void. We can all agree.

903
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: I like that, there's no controversy.

904
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 5: We move on. The Met's headed to Oakland. Things not

905
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 5: going well for Oakland right now.

906
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to say.

907
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: It's a blanket statement.

908
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know.

909
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 5: I don't want to pileon, but there they're run differential

910
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 5: right now on the season.

911
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 4: To this point.

912
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 5: We're recording, obviously after the final out of Wednesday's game,

913
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 5: minus fifty three, and it's twelve runs worse than the second,

914
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: second or worst in baseball.

915
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: It's not good. It's not what you want to quote

916
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: Joji already.

917
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: So I feel like with this estimate there's much more

918
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 5: variation and hopefully we.

919
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: Can avoid a tie. That's what we seek to do.

920
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 5: We want results, we want I want James to shave.

921
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 5: I want to see the mustache not come in.

922
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: But I don't know why I would ever get wager

923
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 2: that I only know what marked wager.

924
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 4: That's equal. Yeah, I don't. I don't really know.

925
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: I've had this beard since I was eighteen, so you

926
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: haven't seen your chin come on, no, ten years. A

927
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: lot of friends, I like, real, like legit friends I

928
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: have in my life have never seen me without it.

929
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: So my best friend's ever we got to figure out

930
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: some comedy. I just don't really want to. I did this.

931
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: This has been a life changing week for me. So

932
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: I actually can't command Well, yeah I did. I did

933
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: actually have the thought like why not? Just like whatever

934
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: I always thought, like if I was going to save

935
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: it was gonna be when I grew my hair out.

936
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: I finally have grown my hair out to a place where,

937
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 3: like it's long, I'm comfortable with it.

938
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 2: So maybe how long would it take for you to

939
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: grow it back?

940
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 4: The beard? Three weeks? Okay, that's not that bad.

941
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: The only thing I'm concerned about is what would probably

942
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: be like a ridiculous handline on my face.

943
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: Oh insane.

944
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: It's been years since this face has seen actual sun.

945
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: So like, and the whole reason I did start shaving

946
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: or stop shaving originally because it was just like sensitive,

947
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: Like I just shaving is annoying. It tastes times, and

948
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: it's like I would get like these red bumps. I'm like,

949
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: this is awful, Like there's no reason for this all.

950
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: You can't relate? Yeah, what if it took you.

951
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 5: For a professional shave, like a nice close shave, they

952
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 5: give you the towel with the real blade content.

953
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: But then like what then what then? What is the

954
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 3: other side of that? It's like James Yet shaved, Like

955
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: who would watch that?

956
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 4: Viewers at home? You tell us would you watch it?

957
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 4: I would think I would. What's even for that?

958
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 3: Like Mark hast to grow a bad beard and keep

959
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 3: it for a month, I'll do a mustache. I'll just

960
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: do a just straight up muskle.

961
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: That's not bad at all. It's not gonna look good. No,

962
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: it's bad.

963
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: It's bad. It's not just equal. You have to keep

964
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: it then for six months. So that's like an off

965
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: season and then some four months.

966
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: I think however long it would take for you to

967
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: grow back a beard is how long i'd have to

968
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: keep a full mustache.

969
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all know what doing what the Aftermats canna

970
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: look like? Here we'll find out. I mean, just don't

971
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: lose it. You don't have to worry.

972
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 4: That's true.

973
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: Well that's not absolutely not agreeing to this.

974
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: Okay, and not agree to Maybe maybe the full uniform

975
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: is the first half, maybe the second half is. Well,

976
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: we'll get back to their facial airything. But what are

977
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: we doing, John, I forgot.

978
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 5: Yes, we are going to go with for this series

979
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 5: upcoming in Oakland. Yeah, the Mets run differential? Will the

980
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 5: run differential be? We're obviously assuming the Mets are on

981
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 5: the positive side, So where will it land across the

982
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: three games?

983
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: All right, let's try and figure this one out here.

984
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: This is this is big because now we're also kind

985
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: of predicting whether or not we think it's going to

986
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: be a sweep or two out of three. Yeah, because

987
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 3: that dramatically changes this number for sure, No, without a doubt.

988
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, you gotta crunch the numbers.

989
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 4: I like only did last year. The foul territory pop,

990
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 4: the foul out. That was a good one.

991
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 3: The over under O'Neal cruise may we'll recover soon from

992
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: the fracture ankleed over under his fastest to throw the

993
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 3: first base.

994
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 4: That was a good one too. That was a good one.

995
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 5: Well, you know, we always try to push the push

996
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 5: the needle here on that up.

997
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 4: When it comes to the estimate.

998
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: We try to not give John many commidents in this show.

999
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 3: But that was really good thing.

1000
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think that's like the one for the

1001
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 5: next like month and a half games, right it.

1002
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: Is three games? Uh yeah, I got a number.

1003
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 4: Like a couple x Yankees pitching for the Athletics in

1004
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 4: this series.

1005
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I can't do that number now. I didn't like.

1006
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: I didn't like the way I drew it. It's as

1007
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: if I never remanship counts. Penmanship counts.

1008
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: I like my number. All right, we're ready to show it.

1009
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 3: I just thinking he's pondering this is big. He might

1010
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: shave his beard for this one.

1011
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 5: I really want to see it. I've been begging for

1012
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 5: like bizar like nine months now.

1013
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: Weird.

1014
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just like an itch I need to scratch,

1015
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 5: you know, I just like, really want to see.

1016
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 4: You without a beard. I can't explain it.

1017
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: John's had a couple, he had scratch. I got the

1018
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: dead marker again, but I'm really shaving it in.

1019
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: You have a whole bag of markers there. I just grab.

1020
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna grab another one. Now we're doing it

1021
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: a ready.

1022
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 4: Go you guys ready to show it? Yeah?

1023
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: Gray two one, ten eleven was one of the first

1024
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: numbers I wrote, and I said three game series, and

1025
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: then I wrote nine. Crazy because we would have had

1026
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity for ten again.

1027
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 3: You know what's weird though? Last year I feel like

1028
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 3: I was always the guy under and you were always

1029
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: the guy over. I know we stopped ten for your boy, Mark,

1030
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 3: eleven for James. All Right, all right, someone is gonna win. Yes,

1031
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna win.

1032
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 4: Somehow.

1033
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: They introduced half runs. It's possible rules.

1034
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean Oakland, anything can happen in that stadium there.

1035
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: We could have done total attendance too.

1036
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've done that one before. I like it.

1037
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 4: I like the new thinking.

1038
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 3: But we're gonna preview this series a little bit because

1039
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: we don't see the Oaklan as very often.

1040
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: We did see him at the end of last year.

1041
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 3: It was just unfortunately, very weird that again we're playing

1042
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 3: a series with the team that we played towards the

1043
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 3: end of last season. Yeah.

1044
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean the schedule makers at Major League Baseball, the

1045
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: new computer or.

1046
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: Whatever that they use, is just spitting out some wild schedules.

1047
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be cool to see some familiar faces

1048
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: on this as team yours.

1049
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: Familiar and legit friend of the podcast, Trevor May. Got

1050
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: a little story about Trevor May. I think I could

1051
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: share it now. After they got knocked out in the

1052
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: postseason last year, I woke up in the morning to

1053
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: a DM from Trevor May apologizing that the team did

1054
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: not perform well enough and that they got knocked out

1055
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. I could not believe. I think I

1056
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: like texted everybody. I was like, Trevor May just apologized

1057
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: for losing. He didn't even do anything wrong. Yeah to

1058
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: me personally, bark, I'm sorry we lost. I know this

1059
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: meant a lot for the team. So Trevor May always

1060
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: got a special place for me. Really nice dude. I

1061
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: hope he does well except.

1062
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: In this series. Yeah not now. I'd like to score

1063
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: twelve runs off him, But Trevory is a great guy.

1064
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's looked. I think he's pretty good so

1065
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: far this year with yes, just pretty good. I mean

1066
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: get this, A's team is objectively they they're lacking in

1067
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: many areas. Yeah, I mean to say that once all

1068
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 3: the viewers about our fun little stake bet that we have. Yeah, okay,

1069
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 3: so this is a fun one. Mark and I and

1070
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: our group of friends we just like to like like

1071
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: kind of get after each other a little bit. So well,

1072
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: we made a lot of bet with each other over

1073
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 3: the years and we kind of hit the point beginning

1074
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: of last year was actually you know what it was.

1075
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 3: It was a show night, Yes, a first take bet

1076
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 3: that was ever made, where we're like, why are we

1077
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: taking our money from our friends, Like, let's do things

1078
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: with our friends. We started betting like nice steak dinners.

1079
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 3: So it happens like twice a year. Anyone will make

1080
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 3: a bed in the group and whoever loses you have

1081
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: to buy the winner a steak dinner a sides and

1082
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: anyone who shows up they have to pay their own steak,

1083
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 3: but the loser buys everybody around the drinks.

1084
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been great so far. Highly recommend it if

1085
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: you're able to do sneak bets with your friends. So

1086
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: me and James have a stake bet this year of

1087
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: who will win more games the Oakland A's or the

1088
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals. I've got the Nationals, You've got the A's.

1089
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm double rooting for the Mets this year. Yeah, I

1090
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: I built it into my projection for the a lose

1091
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: all three of these. Coursy, we're not really worried about it,

1092
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: but the A's team, You're gonna look at the team

1093
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: be like, what what what the Heck's going on there?

1094
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: Because you're gonna see You're gonna see like guys who

1095
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: are like these prospects trying to come out make the

1096
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: name of themselves. Shane Shane Langeleiers catch it. They got

1097
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: from the Braves, fantastic a story.

1098
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 4: Ruiz.

1099
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: People are kind of split on him, but he's really really,

1100
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: really fastin.

1101
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: He's gonna do something this year. I know, like because

1102
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: he's he's someone that I have like, uh, I've had

1103
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: some comments about him about it, the acumen of player

1104
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: he is, so I know he's gonna come back to

1105
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: haunt me yet, just at least once.

1106
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 3: There there is a skill set there. I don't know

1107
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 3: if it's gonna be successful a long time. And he's

1108
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: pretty goodly getting on base, like he does take some pitches.

1109
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: But then you look at like why is Haystus agular

1110
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 3: hitting third? Why is Tony camping lead? Like you're gonna

1111
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: be like why hitting force? Yeah, it's it's it's a

1112
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: very strange, strange team. Chase Peterson stills bothering around at

1113
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: Taylor met Killer James Peterson, Ryan Noda, who's annoying from

1114
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 3: last year Met Killer. Connor Caple is definitely gonna get

1115
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 3: some from the Nationals. No on the A's last year?

1116
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 4: Is he only?

1117
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: I thought he was on the Nationals last year?

1118
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 3: Last year he was on the A's for that series,

1119
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 3: A big one off the ground. Yeah, okay, you're right,

1120
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 3: that's where it is. But just we're not gonna see

1121
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 3: Seth Brown probably is objectively their best player, maybe best

1122
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: hit or at least like Ramon Loriano is probably their

1123
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 3: best player.

1124
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 4: Lare is really good player.

1125
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: He's definitely their best player.

1126
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: But Seth Brown is probably the best pure hitter on

1127
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: that team, and he's out so we won't see him.

1128
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: Romont Loreo is also really cool because he speaks very

1129
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: candidly about not wanting to be in this team anymore,

1130
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 3: like it's all like I get it, Like no one's there,

1131
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: the stadium is We're kind to get run down at

1132
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: this point, and the rest of the ross around him

1133
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 3: is kind of lacking. So he's like, yeah, I really

1134
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: love to play well enough to get traded.

1135
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to the Oakland Stadium?

1136
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 6: No? Have you guys ever been to the Oakland Stadium?

1137
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 6: I have not, But I do have a hilarious nugget

1138
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 6: for you guys. You mentioned Trevor May. Just now, yes,

1139
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 6: he's the only athletics pitcher with a win. Wow, shout

1140
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 6: out Trevor May two win mentions wins podcast. Now hopefully

1141
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 6: it stays no way if they have two wins. They

1142
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 6: have two wins and he has won them both.

1143
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 4: Sure for Trevor. Good for Trevor.

1144
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: He's not an arbitration anymore.

1145
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 3: So matter yeah, now, just I can think he's actually

1146
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 3: now the highest paid player on that team.

1147
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one hundred.

1148
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: When I spoke to him, he's like, I I think

1149
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: he said he's the highest paid player, which is crazy

1150
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: for him. And then he also said something that I

1151
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: think his major league experience is more than all their

1152
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: bullpen arms combined at the time. How we spoke interesting

1153
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: because Danny Danny Jimnez a Jremenez him and as probably

1154
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: all right, he feel like it's been around a while.

1155
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if he.

1156
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: Was on when he's told me Jerry Familiar is on

1157
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: the Jerry Familiar wasn't on the team when he said

1158
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: this car this was back in spring training.

1159
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: If they filled out a little bit, a little bit

1160
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 3: of the mad winning moves toward the end of the

1161
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 3: end of the free agency. But pitching match of this series,

1162
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 3: we got Sanga going up against James Capellian Friday night,

1163
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 3: Carls Carrasco against Shintaro Fujinami on Saturday. We were hoping

1164
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 3: for Sanga versus Fujinami, not getting it, But I digress.

1165
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 3: I mean, Max Schers are on Sunday against JP series.

1166
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: So talk to me about these pitchers because Fujinami is

1167
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: probably the name that everyone it definitely is most interested

1168
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: in out of these three. And I know that he

1169
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: has like some stuff right like me and you were

1170
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: talking about it maybe on Monday right when we were

1171
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: here about how Fujinami was kind of like the hyped

1172
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: up guy he was originally and like him and Sanger

1173
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: kind of flipped spots.

1174
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: A little bit, not even flip boss, but like a

1175
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: lot has been made about rookie Sasaki these last few months,

1176
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 3: coming from just watching the World Baseball Classic and how

1177
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: he's the phenom.

1178
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 4: He's unbelievable.

1179
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: But Shinitara Fujinami had a little bit of that allure

1180
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: going back like four or five years in Japan, and

1181
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: he came over. He's the stuff is incredible. He throws

1182
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 3: really hard fastball, slider, splither. He started mixing a new sweeper.

1183
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: He also went to drive line. I believe this offseason

1184
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: with Coda Sanga he might have been learning that sweeper

1185
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 3: into hadem together.

1186
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: But the stuff's amazing. He just does not know where

1187
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: the ball is going.

1188
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 3: Okay, he probably his future is probably best served as

1189
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: a high leverage reliever because he'll be able to get

1190
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: near or at triple digits with a really good splither

1191
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: and a pretty good slider. But right now they're just like,

1192
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: why not let him try starting. It's just it's not

1193
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 3: going great right now. But you're gonna see some pitches

1194
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 3: be like, oh, that's really good looking. They're doing an

1195
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: interesting thing too. He will only pitch Saturdays. They're keeping

1196
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 3: him on a Saturday schedule for pitching to dig it. Yeah,

1197
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: tintarfu Jeami. That's the fun pitching name to keep an

1198
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: eye out for. Otherwise, they are the Oakland A's. They

1199
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 3: are the worst team in baseball. I think we could say,

1200
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: or at least one of the worst teams of the

1201
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: worst teams of baseball. Also, JP series like, isn't I

1202
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 3: don't think he's bad. I think that was a good

1203
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 3: piece I got from the Yankees last year and the

1204
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 3: Frankie Montess trade along with ken Walda Chuck. He's got

1205
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 3: a good fastball that's above average, bubbly gaverage loss and

1206
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 3: he's got good movement on it.

1207
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: It's got a battlea gaverage.

1208
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 4: They have all the Yankee rejects.

1209
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 3: Copellians a Yankee guy too, and is also like not awful,

1210
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: like he's he's a he's a major league pitcher.

1211
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 4: Yea.

1212
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 3: They have major league ish players. Yeah, these are guys.

1213
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 3: These are all major leagueish players.

1214
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1215
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: Series has a sweeper that looks pretty good. But end

1216
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: of the day, Mets should win this series. Win this

1217
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: series pretty easily by the run. Differential of at least

1218
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: eleven yeah or ten tens.

1219
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: Ten's good too. You know what, I'm happy to lose

1220
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 3: this one as long as it's positive for the Mets.

1221
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: Yes, Ma Me's sweep.

1222
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: Metsweep will be good. That's pretty much it for this episode, right,

1223
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: nothing else to talk about here.

1224
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:50,400
