1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: What is Up?

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: Up Podcast. Thank god we just won that series against

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: the Rockies. It started rocky out in Colorado and then

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: it ended well. The vibes are infinitely better. I was

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: after Tuesday night. I was ready to get on here

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: and start yelling like everybody wanted. We win the next

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: two games. Now the vibes are good. Going into the

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Seattle series, we'll talk about everything going on in Colorado

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: this past week, along with preview the Mariners series with

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: TJ and Lyle from the Marine Layer podcast. So make

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: sure you guys sticks through that. A lot of good

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: stuff there because we don't play the Mariners too often,

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: so you'll learn a lot about the team in the

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: stadium if you're heading out there, as well as James

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: has got some interesting stuff on the pitchers because the

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: Mets actually pitched really well in this series weirdly in

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: Colorado that doesn't really make any sense. And a tiny,

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 2: tiny little mini prospect report coming in at the end.

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,440

Speaker 2: how are the vibes for you after this series? Vibes

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: are great. That's did what they had to do.

30
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: They won two out of three in the series one

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: three out of four since last time we talked to you, guys,

32
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: because we also have to talk about beating the Cardinals, thankfully,

33
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: and the weird single say yeah right single day game

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: on Monday. They Keith talked about it a lot on

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: Wednesday night. How weird it was that they were talking

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: to some of the players and they were like, uh,

37
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: this is the first time in four days we've been

38
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: the same time zone back to back days, which is

39
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: oh wow, yeah, yeah, because they went Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 3: three different ballparks, three different time zones, which is annoying

41
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: as hell, but nice to see the team battle through

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: the university. It's easier to battle through adversity against very

43
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: bad teams like the Rockies, and kinds of bad teams

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: like the Cardinals. Hopes and Cardinals fans caught that one.

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: But just nice that they've righted the ship. Like you,

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: it's August. Baseball is hard, Traveling is hard. Like this

47
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: shit is not easy, especially as you get this deep

48
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: into the season and all your the teams you're competing

49
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: with are fucking blazing hot. Every single day your game

50
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: gets magnified. But Mets responded well and they're again in

51
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: a good spot right.

52
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: Now as we have another episode. I know we've talked

53
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: about on the podcast before. Too early for scoreboard watching.

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: It's it's still August. If the Mets just win, like,

55
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: can't worry about it. But I will tell you what

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: it is fucking frustrating that the Padres and Dimecks refuse

57
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: to lose. Pirates couldn't help us out at all. The

58
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: Cleveland Guardians, who had been the best team in baseball

59
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: record wise, We're like, what if we get swept? What

60
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: if we play the worst baseball we've played all year

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: at home where they never lose, Like, come on, give

62
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: us some help.

63
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: And shout out Colin Holderman, the fucking sleeper Cellity is

64
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: just blowing three games in six days for the Pirates,

65
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: So I think all of those I think this that

66
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: will finally actually be the last calen Holder mentioned ever

67
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: on Mets Twitter, which would be really really exciting just

68
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: to get over that twenty twenty two trade deadline once

69
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 3: and for all. But again, this was a good week

70
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: for the Mets. Again, this feels strange, because yeah, right

71
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: it is. It was like because Tuesday felt horrible, but

72
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: won the game on Monday, and then Wednesday, like seventy

73
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: five percent of them went through that game. Everyone had

74
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: the same pit in their stomach that we were gonna

75
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: blow it again and drop a second straight series to

76
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: a really bad team. You were even freaking out, We

77
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: were texting about it. You were ready to absolutely just

78
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: freak freak the fuck out. But it's fine, It's so fine.

79
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

80
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: I think I don't know what's happened to me, Like

81
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: I'm so much chiller about this Mets season, this Mets

82
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: run right now than I've ever been in my life,

83
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: and seemingly everybody else who's mess fit in my life

84
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: is I don't know why. Maybe it's just the x

85
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: lack of expectations. Maybe it's just like the year after

86
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: working for the team, and I desensitize myself a little bit.

87
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: But I'm just weirdly, I'm like two zen about where

88
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: the Mets are right now, don't I don't think I

89
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: even like it.

90
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: I think it's the latter. I think it's to desensitize

91
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: after being so heavily involved in like what was going

92
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: on for a year and a half working with the team,

93
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: because I was ready to lose my mind. Like you said,

94
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: beating the Cardinals like we did on Monday was awesome.

95
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: We walked in there and beat the piss out of them.

96
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: Sean Mania was incredible. He was phenomenal. We'll talk about

97
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: him a little bit more. And then they were just

98
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: so flat on Tuesday against fucking Kyle Freeland, who I

99
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: know has been pitching better, but he stinks like Kyle

100
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Freeland tast terrible. And then they start off slow against

101
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: Ryan Feltner and Zach Da Noah Davis whoever it is.

102
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: Well, that was some bullshit because and Keith talked about this.

103
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: Gary and Gary Keith, which so nice to have those

104
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: two in the boots.

105
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: So great.

106
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: Wow, what amazing to have two three professionals who know

107
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 3: the game that well in there. But they were talking

108
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: about how much preparation there is in the modern game.

109
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: But us is a really good point and the fact

110
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: that you prepare a lot for a starting pitcher, suddenly

111
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: after one inning he's out of the game and the

112
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: whole Now you lose the whole game play. Like, I know,

113
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: this believer that came in Noadavid isn't exactly good. It's

114
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: a very different look. It's a wrinkle from what you

115
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: were expecting. So that was just again, so many little

116
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: things are happening to like just barely knock this Mets

117
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: team like off balance, and it's just again nice to

118
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: see them seam through and nicee them to win these games.

119
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: Really easy to do that against bad teams. You have

120
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: to be able to be able to steam through the

121
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: things and knock you off balance against the good teams.

122
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: That comes next the next road very important road trips

123
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: San Diego, Arizona.

124
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: Crazy those are back to back. But we also just

125
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: remember we didn't get this chance to say sweep because

126
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: we did sweep the Cardinals.

127
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Yes, we did sweep the Cardinals sweep back from back

128
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: in May. So that was great ayay, that Cardinals game

129
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: was awesome. Jeff McNeil is so damn back. I don't

130
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 3: know when you guys saw the tweet, the very petty

131
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: tweet that put out for Mets s up. But Jeff

132
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: McNeil's just he's getting back up there season stats. He's

133
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: finally up to like almost seven hundred OPS, which, again,

134
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: that's not good. I'll never tell you that's good, but

135
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: it's it's a real upswing from where Jeff was about

136
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: six weeks ago the worst off I hitters in baseball.

137
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: Anddres fans would tell you that's good because that's what

138
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: Luis Rias has, who has a lower F four officially

139
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: than Jeff McNeil, whoa batting average doesn't matter.

140
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: Eight week in the Mess of Up podcast, So as

141
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: of Monday, it was really cool because Jeff McNeil had

142
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: a higher OPS than Bryce and Scott. I heard these

143
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: elite second base lead Paul Golshman MVP two years ago,

144
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: Galabor Torres, another elite second baseman, Corbyn Carro.

145
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: Rookie here last year, Adeleie's Garcia.

146
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 3: I've heard one of the most clutch players hit history

147
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: of baseball because of last postseason Andresi Menez, the guy

148
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: who helped the Guardians win the trailer for the Mets

149
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: of Francisco Indoor and Dance by Swanson, the guy that

150
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: Men should have signed a short stop beevery year.

151
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: James Swanson.

152
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, James Swanson. I mean, hey, that's where I'm going.

153
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: The hair out, I really want to try. And with

154
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: the hair what are you gonna go?

155
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: By Dansby? I don't think so ever, But it's just

156
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: nice to see that.

157
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: As bad as seasons Jeff McNeil's had, we always talk

158
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: about this year, guys. The shape of seasons matters so

159
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: much to the way baseball narratives are driven. The fact

160
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: that Jeff is horrible and now he's been good for

161
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: five weeks, where where Bryson's Scott was really good for

162
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: five weeks and horrible and almost every single game since then,

163
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: it feels different, But really it's the same, and that's

164
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: where we're at. I'm happy just Jeff is hot. I

165
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: was nice to see us get on the board early

166
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: in that game, too, because I was really worried about

167
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: sleepwalking through like a one day, one game situation. Yes,

168
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: the fact that you got there early and Manaia dude,

169
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: fucking Manaiah the last two starts, fourteen scorels, indings, twenty

170
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: two strikeouts, no walks, Like, what the hell's got into

171
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: this guy?

172
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Watching him pitch, he's just good. Like I think

173
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: that's just the sentence now, And this is gonna I'm

174
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a little hyperbolic here in saying some things.

175
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: But he was a former first round pick, like thirty

176
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: fourth overall back in twenty thirteen, so he has the

177
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: prospect pedigree. And when he was coming up with the A's,

178
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: there was a lot of hype around him. He was

179
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: supposed to be like that frontline starter for the A's seven,

180
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: eight years ago, whatever it was when he was really

181
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: first coming up. And it feels like sometimes these pitchers,

182
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: and we've talked about this before, especially when it comes

183
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: to pitching, sometimes it takes a really long time to

184
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: figure it out. It took again, not saying the same picture.

185
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: I want this to be very very clear. I'm not

186
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: saying the same picture. But it took what Max Scherzer

187
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: seven years though, But I'm saying like it took him

188
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: a really long time to figure out how to pitch.

189
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: He's one of the best pictures of all time. That's

190
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: very different in terms of the ceiling. But for a

191
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: guy like Sean Manya, this could be the next step

192
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: as for him being a very good starting pitcher for

193
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: the rest of his major league career. When theoregularly this offseason,

194
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: he was bargain been shopping around trying to keep the

195
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: dream alive in a way of like, I want to

196
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: be a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. Somebody give

197
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: me a.

198
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: Shot, totally, And it's important lesson, I think, to not

199
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: just baseball fans, for people that make baseball content, but

200
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: also maybe some people who run baseball organizations that are

201
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: in front offices, Like just because someone doesn't do something

202
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they can't do something. And I found the

203
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 3: victim with this with Manaya. The Mets found the victim

204
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: with this with Seth, Lugo and trum and I only

205
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: completed six innings I think it was three or four

206
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: times all of last year. The Giants just simply didn't

207
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: ask him to do that. But the Mets saw something

208
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: in him and saw his past that he had done

209
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: it before, that he could chew openings in a big

210
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: way and could be more effective doing it and the

211
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 3: Mets and men Iya together have made a lot of

212
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: changes here that have really really turned him into being again.

213
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: Like you said, a very legiti pitture on the season

214
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: three to three ERA and one point.

215
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: One to eight Whip. It's it's also like three point

216
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: three to zero Lillian and Yang right now too, because like,

217
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: oh my god, I love that he's pitching so well, damnit,

218
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: he's not gonna take that player extension. He's probably gonna

219
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: get paid a little bit this offseason totally, which is okay.

220
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: But now you're almost in the spot where like we've

221
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 3: been talking about Luisa Vrino for the qualifying offer, we

222
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: could talk about Shaum and I for the qualifying CAFF

223
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: right now, Like that's realistic. But though on the season

224
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: three three O ERA the one point one eight Whip,

225
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: those are both top thirty of all the pitchers in

226
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: the league as of and I type these notes down

227
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, and then some of the more stats that

228
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: I like more like Sierra Skills Interactive VRA that's like

229
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 3: taking that's like taking a pictures all the balls that

230
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: are put in play and how many strike out walks

231
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: they have and spinning out a number that's like what

232
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 3: their era should be. I think it's a little more

233
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: indicative of and fit, especially Byter then next fIF I

234
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 3: hate x fipause x FIP just takes the balls in

235
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 3: play but makes your home run rate league average, which

236
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: is stupids. You're not always gonna have a league average

237
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: home run rate, where Sierra is like, oh, you get

238
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: pop ups, get ground ball, strike out to walks, like

239
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: those are the most important things. I think those are

240
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: also most imporant things picture results and also strike out

241
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: my as walk gret He's top thirty in bolth of

242
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: those since June first, So by every single measure over

243
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: the last two months, month and a half of baseball,

244
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 3: shum and I has been a legitimate front line pitcher.

245
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: And that's not that's not being hyperbolic, that's not being biased,

246
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: not homerism. He it has been that guy.

247
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: I mean it was a gon last two starts, fourteen

248
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: in total, twenty one strikeouts with like a walk on

249
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: I think, which is like insane runs, Like how how

250
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: even more important is it? In this rotation with code

251
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: I Sanger going down with Christian Scott hurt, although we

252
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: got some positive news that he might start throwing again

253
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: in the coming weeks, but like for him to step

254
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: up like this, especially when like Sevy had a little

255
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: bit of a skid here against the Rockies. Tough spot

256
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: first on pitching in Colorado. But Manya's really just become

257
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: the best picture in this rotation, dude. Yeah, and he has.

258
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: He's made some major changes this year, which you gotta

259
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: give live credit always to the boy, Jeremy Hefner.

260
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: Been been fans in forever.

261
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: Just can't do it, can never give up on Jeremy Hefner,

262
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: even those many people on the internet want to. And

263
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: I have one big thing he did this year. He's

264
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: gone throwing a lot more two seemers than four seemers.

265
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: That pitch is legit one of the best in all

266
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 3: of baseball this entire season in terms of run value.

267
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: So interesting, seventeenth best run value in the league and

268
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: the third best run value for any two seemer in

269
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: the league or sinker in the league besides Paul Skeens,

270
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: who it's it's a it's that's different. Yeah, and Jose Soriano.

271
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: You guys got taste of Jose Soriano last weekend. It's

272
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: also a really good pitch and also the only thing

273
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: that's weird though about Manaia, because I was looking a lot,

274
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: like a lot of different websites, a lot of different

275
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: places about his two seamer and four seemer usage. They're

276
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: so similar to one another that I'm scared that a

277
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: lot of times when we look this stuff up, their

278
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: usage rates will bleed into each other because it's like

279
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: it's like two inches different vertical break on them and

280
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: like an inch different horizontal break, So again, those pitches

281
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: can seem the same. But also I think that's something

282
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: is beautiful about it, because there's a lot more pitchers

283
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: this year than years past who are trying to throw

284
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: both of those pitches at the same time and mixing

285
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: those two up.

286
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: Not often you're going to throw.

287
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 3: Them to hitter's from the same side of the plate,

288
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: But Manaya is unique in this fact whereas he throws

289
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: them both high in the zone. Yes, we were talking

290
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: about this a lot when we were together the other

291
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 3: night that I can't think of another pitcher who's thrown

292
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: this many two seamers high, especially a lefty. But Manaia

293
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 3: gets that crazy reach and that crazy extension on that

294
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: pitch and it gets in on Hey, there's both sides

295
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: of the play, especially the righty's, because in his last

296
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: two games, I think he's faced a total of one

297
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: right handed batther in the combined lineups of the Cardinals

298
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 3: and Twins. What he's doing one left handed batter. I mean,

299
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: so everything that he's doing is against hitters who should

300
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: technically have advantage against them. And it's amazing because he's

301
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: done a lot. Is he's throwing a lot more covers.

302
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 3: He's using him mostly when he's early, early in the

303
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: count or behind these right handed hitters. And he's cut

304
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: the use of his change up in his gyroslider, which

305
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: his career always got hit the hardest. He still uses

306
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: them to mix in against righty's in general, but he

307
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: has like a much he's cut that pitch a little bit,

308
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: but then he's now created like this tighter color that

309
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: is a better differentiated from his big sweeper that he's

310
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 3: even more willing to throw inside his right handed bats recently,

311
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 3: because it definitely is his best pitch and moves the most,

312
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: he gets the most wings and misses. It's just a

313
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: lot of little tweaks here and there along the way.

314
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: I've turned him into a new pitcher more or less.

315
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, It was fantastic to watch him just dice up

316
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 2: this Cardinals lineup. Who's that's definitely the strong shoot of

317
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: their team. They have a good lineup, like they can

318
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: definitely get the Cardinals, They've they've hit a bunch this year.

319
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: And just to see him dice him up like that

320
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: in silence, which was phenomenal because we were at the

321
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: bowling alley shout out the gutter and we didn't have

322
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: to listen to the game, which I heard was a

323
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: little bit painful, but it was just it was really

324
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: really nice that that game, especially because it didn't matter

325
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 2: more theoretically than like the Rockies games or the Angels games.

326
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: I hate saying that, but it's true. It did matter

327
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: more because it's a direct competitor and to just kind

328
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: of coast like we did and get the big hits

329
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: late in the game to keep it even more separated

330
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: from them. Just such a nice, clean win. And you're like, ah,

331
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: Matt's there we go. That's that's the mess, not what

332
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: we saw against the Angels. This is the team we

333
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: were all expecting, totally and another favorite that's happening in

334
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: this show.

335
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: I really want to shout out Padres Twether because they

336
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 3: went on a weird Dia tribe against Shamanaia this week

337
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: for some reason, saying that you didn't see this he was,

338
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: he dogged it and he was lazy when he was

339
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 3: with them, and he's he's like an asshole for getting

340
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: so much better off the team, when really that's almost

341
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: entirely from coaching. But there was a lot of people

342
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: saying that he look up on Twitter right now, look

343
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: up Sean Manya Clevenger. It was a tweet that it

344
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 3: was disparaging both of them, when in reality, you see

345
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: a start like this for Sean and Iya and again

346
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: he's facing I think it was literally eighteen seventeen and

347
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: the eighteen batters he faced right handed batters, he stopped

348
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: throwing his change up in his types either. He was

349
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: throwing more and more backfoot sweepers, tons more high fastballs.

350
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: He simplified it, which is the biggest thing from any

351
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: because he's had walked so many guys this year, so

352
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: these starts he was like, fuck it, I'm gonna throw

353
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: my fastballs. I'm gonna fill up the zone in Madari

354
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: when you're not gonna hit it where they'll change up

355
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: in those slider pitches. Those are the ones he was

356
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: always trying to nibble with and try and sit on

357
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: the edges with where now I think he's confident enough

358
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: in his fastball. He's getting enough losity on it, and

359
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: he's able to locate it in the right spots. He

360
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: doesn't care anymore, especially putting hitters away. That's fourteen pitch

361
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: for him, has become his strikeout pitch. That's his most

362
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: thrown pitch of the season against right handed values with

363
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: two strikes by a lot. Forty five percent of the

364
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: time he's throwing that pitch of two strikes against Riety's,

365
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: which is crazy, but he it's a and that to

366
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: me feels like a mental thing. That's a confidence in

367
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: a pitch they might not have been confident in the

368
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: past with because that used to be an attempted ground

369
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: ball pitch for him. But I think now, working with Hefner,

370
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: working with the Aggers, working with everyone in the met staff,

371
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: that pitch is now up to the right handers, and

372
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: it's the four seamer against the right handers.

373
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: I want, I wonder if this is like again, I don't,

374
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: I'm just speaking out louder. I have nothing to prove

375
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: this or whatnot, but maybe against the right eight because

376
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: they're looking for that sweeper. They're looking for that cutter.

377
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: Could he be tunneling this four teamer so well that

378
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: like definitely they're just selling out for that and it's

379
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: staying up and they're like, oh shit, not even cleol,

380
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: not even.

381
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: Close and that And again it's something where you're looking

382
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: for the sweeper. It's gonna drop back foot because he's

383
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: been doing that a lot more and it's really good

384
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: and that color sits in on the guy's hands. But

385
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: that ninety four really stings up on you when you're.

386
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: Not especially any great extension.

387
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets so close to you. He's striving down

388
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: the hole mout he's so big. I remember also cut

389
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: his hair. That was a big, big business move by

390
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: Sean and I.

391
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: Beginning of the year.

392
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: Everyone forgets that, but that was a great move by him.

393
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: He's just really good, like he's he's been in an

394
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: off season where David Stern's absolutely cooked and made a

395
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: lot of really good signings.

396
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: This is the best one. Let him cook. I saw

397
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: the tweet though from this Ava woman, Sean and I

398
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: should get sixty nine thousand times they hate Josh Hater

399
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: gets from Padres fans. This man admitted to being lazy

400
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: and not trying. He's a huge reason why the Padres

401
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: weren't able to get to the World Series in twenty

402
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: twenty two. I don't feel like that's even true. I

403
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: think that Padres play just makes things up. Well yeah,

404
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: I mean they called Louis rayas Tony Gwinn, So it's

405
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: disrespectful to the race player that's ever stepped foot in

406
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: that stadium.

407
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: Someone right, some of them from Padres, whether guy I

408
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: mentioned a week after I did a tweet like saying

409
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: I like Robbie Snelling and they traded him last week

410
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: form which was he Tenner Scott. He was Scott, Yeah,

411
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: basically saying I was like, I think he's a good pitture.

412
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: I that was a lot of the Padres give up,

413
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 3: but that's they're trying to get a playoff spots where

414
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: you're doing. He's like, yeah, crime, Mets fans keep prying

415
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: when we have, when we have, when we have a

416
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: World Series. Before you guys, I was like, yo, good

417
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: luck dude, you can happen.

418
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: In fact, you didn't. You've been You've been an organization

419
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: for a while, and the Mets do have a World

420
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: Series before the Padres have won one, so that that

421
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: also doesn't make any sense. Not to brag about being

422
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: the better loser, but we are.

423
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: I dropped his fact on the show before before your

424
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: new fans out there and hopefully maybe some Padres fans

425
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: hate listening. The Padres were invented as Major League Baseball

426
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: franchise just for the Dodgers and Walter O'Malley basically to.

427
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: Pick on somebody. He gave his own general manage of time. Yeah,

428
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Buddy Ravasi, he gave him.

429
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: He like put him up to be the one who

430
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: ran the new San Diego expansion team because he knew

431
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: he was an idiot. He didn't he didn't want to

432
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: well run organization in the same area in southern California.

433
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: That's that's awesome, That's it's legendary, Hay.

434
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: And you know what else that team has been for

435
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: the all time losers, Dad, Yeah, they were the they

436
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: were also they Padre fans love to make fun of

437
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: the Mets. Everyone for Steve Cohen. You know who the

438
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: original Padres owner was. It was a fucking CEO of McDonald's.

439
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 3: Oh really, he spent money like a mad man. He

440
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 3: used to go on the microphone the announcers with the

441
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: middle of games and say, these guys suck. We're gonna

442
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 3: get a new players. Sorry all the fans and like, what,

443
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: how could you play for somebody like that? That's awesome,

444
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: that's awesome. Ray Ray Kroc, It's Ray Kroc. That's a

445
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 3: that's a strong name too, that's.

446
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. The uh, it's a shame because I really I

447
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: used to love the Padres like that was like my

448
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: fun team to like love Diego, love San Diego, great city,

449
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: love the jerseys, like I love everything about it. But man,

450
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: their fans have been so annoying. Like the only team

451
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: that's like basically one less is the Dodgers, but even

452
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: they got the Mickey Mouse World series, and we gotta

453
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: get this Padres.

454
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: Hate going because we're in fucking direct competition with them.

455
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: Two weeks we have a big four game series in

456
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: San Diego. It's gonna determine the entire playoff run. So

457
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: all Mets fans start to ruminate Padres Hey start to

458
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: get it back. We still need payback from twenty twenty two.

459
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: We Pilons are still there. Chris Paddock is not. There's

460
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: a lot of weird, little shitty bad blood between these organizations.

461
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 3: And I want to go into their house because we

462
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: reread swept them once this year. Yes, so even if

463
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: you just win two out of four from them, you

464
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: now own the tiebreaker with them. It's kind of like

465
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: gaining a game in the Wildcard standing because now time

466
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: means you win. But just I don't want to look ahead.

467
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: We have a lot important games while that happens. But

468
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: we gotta even get back to the Rockies now of

469
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: this series. But damn, it's gonna be a big series.

470
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: Man. That could be a magical week. Go to San

471
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: Diego and Arizona watch the Mets play. Wow, it could

472
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: be something, all right, bring it back to Colorado. We

473
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: beat the piss out of the Cardinals. They suck, They're dead,

474
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: all right? Talk about the Cardinals or a Rocky series.

475
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: That was awesome by me Tuesday, Like we said, bad game,

476
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: super weird. The vibes we were off. The Mets couldn't hit.

477
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: Lindor had some of the worst that pass he's had

478
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: all year, which was bizarre because it was against Kyle

479
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: Freeland and he's so good right handed, but he looked

480
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: like he just was guessing every single picture, was guessing

481
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: wrong every single time. All in all was bad. I

482
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: hate playing in Cours. I said it to you on

483
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: Wednesday night when after his heel Tavar he hit a nuke.

484
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: But I just hate playing Coreers because pop ups go out.

485
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: Jake Cave hit that cheap, insane home run on a

486
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: high and inside pitch that he inside outed to left field.

487
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. I hate playing there. So

488
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 2: Tuesday was bad vibes. Severino's first start ever in Courers.

489
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: He'd pitched and everything single ballpark I think until that one.

490
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: And it was funny because Mike Petriella the next day

491
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: posted a graphic about Severino's horizontal break on his sinker

492
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: vertical break and it was just significantly less than it

493
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: ever had been the entire year. He's like, yep, welcome

494
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: to Courers, man. It sucks to pitch there, and this

495
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: is why they've never had good pitching. Basically, Oh, it

496
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: is a shame.

497
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: Gary and Keith are talking about a lot that, like

498
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: the Rockies, for the first time in a while, do

499
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: seem to have finally put together a pretty okay core physician.

500
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 3: Players like I look at the Rockies lineup right now,

501
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: and I'm like, it's still not good, like.

502
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: But not, it's not that bad. I like Tar mcmills.

503
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: You were also right about the horizontal break.

504
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: It was down four inches from season average horizonal break,

505
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: and the change up was also down four inches from

506
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: season average.

507
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: Was huge difference.

508
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: And his sweeper was down seven total inches of break,

509
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: three vertical and four horizontal.

510
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: Just like conceptual conceptually thinking about that's like a baseball's

511
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 2: difference in the amount of the pitch moves, So that's

512
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: could be the difference been getting jammed or off the

513
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: end of the bat in the middle of the barrel.

514
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: Also, get back to severyone for a second. I've talked

515
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 3: a lot about seven Reino sweepers, that when he throws

516
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: sweeper's good. When he doesn't, he's bad eighty one percent

517
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: of his pitches and Tuesday night either fastballs or sinkers

518
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: eighty one and he got it because of Colorado, right totally,

519
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: But also like I think maybe the change up could

520
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 3: have been used a little bit.

521
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: It just doesn't. It doesn't seem like the changeup ever

522
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: really got to.

523
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 3: A place where me he felt comfortable with it, which

524
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: is a shame because in the off season that pitch

525
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 3: looked really gross. But he only six wings and misses.

526
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: All of them are on the fourteing fastball, and the

527
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: Rocky swung at that fourting fastball thirty times, which they

528
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 3: swung fifty new times and eighty nine pitches. The league

529
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 3: average swing rate, I think is in like the mid forties. Yeah,

530
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 3: that's like a sixty five percent swing rate. That's incredibly high.

531
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: I wasna say. They're one of the most aggressive teams

532
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: in baseball. Gary was talking about it is like they

533
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: love to chase, they love to swing early, and they

534
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: love to strike out. Let's let's make sure we do

535
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: a lot of that. And Game one there was not

536
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: a lot. Also weird that they had like those dolls

537
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: in the scoreboard out and run. Didn't like that. I

538
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: don't care for that one bit. Who goes there? Why

539
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: are they there? They had nightmares?

540
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: Denver's an underrated creepy city airport, right. Yeah, in the

541
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 3: past we've talked about the wild conspiracy theories the Denver

542
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: Airport and they have like pictures of like lizard people

543
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: and like it's it's it's very stay of a horse,

544
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: like with blue eyes on in the front of like

545
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: the Stallion.

546
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very it's it's Denver Airport's a weird place.

547
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: Denver itself is the city I always thought I would

548
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: like more, but I never really loved it that much

549
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 3: at all.

550
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: I know it seems to me, but it's not. It's

551
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: not me. I've been there a few times. It just

552
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: doesn't hit. It's gluten free. Gluten free changed you.

553
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 3: Maybe I think it's just I don't know. It's so,

554
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: it's just so, it's it's a city with no feel

555
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: like everyone in there is a transplant. Like everyone in there,

556
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 3: it's all like corny white people from the Midwest who

557
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 3: are trying to like make a new life for themselves.

558
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: A lot of these people are great, don't like. Don't

559
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 3: get me wrong, of course, corny wipe over the Midwest.

560
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: That's my those are my people, as my hire Frank

561
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: grew from college. But I'm just saying, like, it's just

562
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: it's a city that they lose this texture because it's

563
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 3: all transplants.

564
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, they followed the weed money out there

565
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: maybe and they were like, let's let's start selling this

566
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: ship and sell it legally.

567
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: Totally weeds kiing everything. But I don't know that he's

568
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: never never, never hit from me. But they never been

569
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: to Colorado Stadium sick, Oh yeah, and oh cool, the

570
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: home of Course Light, the best beer in the entire planet.

571
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: Also the home of Ryan McMahon, who's Brooks Robinson against

572
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 3: the Mets. He made seven diving places.

573
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: He made plays. Brent Rogers, Ezekiel Tavar made plays, Hunter

574
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: Goodman made a diving play in the gap today ja

575
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: like every single player was making Ready. Doyle made a

576
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: couple of nice ones. Prince Doyle is a phenomenal fielder,

577
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: to his credit, Like that's the one thing I won't

578
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 2: slander in his game. I'll slander everything else. But he's

579
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: a phenomenal fielder and another home run the series too.

580
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: For sure, he sucks though he's a course merchant, look

581
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 2: at his splits.

582
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: But I also Keith thinks, because we Keith only really

583
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 3: watches the Rockies when the Mets play the Rocky, which

584
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: is about right. He actually thinks that Ryan McMahon is

585
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 3: one of the best defensive players in baseball. It's funny

586
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: like he talks about him in that way. Well, he

587
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 3: was saying there was him and Gary were. I mean,

588
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: they made amazing plays and they were like, you gotta

589
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: be kidding me. And Ryan McMahon made a lot of

590
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: these plays, and he's like, one day they're gonna get

591
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: this guy the gold glove like.

592
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: Around. He's like, one day they're gonna get him one.

593
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't think so. Like he's

594
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: a really good fielder, but he's not the level of

595
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: Key Brian Hayes, Machado Aeronatto. I don't think maybe I

596
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: don't think he's still quite good, Like he's awesome. No

597
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: slander of Ryan McMahon.

598
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: No, Ryanman is a really good baseball player. I think

599
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: if Rocky's ever allowed him to play for another team,

600
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: he would flourish. He'd be in playoff races, he'd make

601
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: big plays, retire his number. He would become a legitimate

602
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 3: like he again, he would never be like a superstar,

603
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: like a star, but he would be one of these

604
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 3: like the premier Hall of very.

605
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: Good kind of players. Match if ars let him play

606
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: third album to first and Bryce Harper back to the outfield,

607
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: they'd win the World Series in a heartbeat, Like.

608
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: He'd have like a Michael Young, Mike Lowell career, Like

609
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: he'd be like one of those third basemen you remember

610
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: from an era the Hallway Ryan. Yeah, if he didn't

611
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: have to play some five hundred baseball in the Rockies

612
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: his entire career because they refuse to trade him. But

613
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 3: I digress, another third basement. It doesn't necessarily play good defense.

614
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave it here, Mark Fiento, so you know

615
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 3: he does what hits really well, Yes he does.

616
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna leave it there. It's okay, it's fine.

617
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care, So tell what the

618
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: ball goes through a hole in the net, so what

619
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 2: I don't care. Whatever. No, that was, that was uh whatever,

620
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: that was crazy. I could I couldn't believe that happened.

621
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: That play was chaos and the fact that it's bullshit.

622
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: Does nets are not tied to the thing? What is

623
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: that all about? I mean home field advantage. Tip your

624
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: cap to the Rockies there for the one time that's

625
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 2: ever gonna happen. Also, how did that happen? How did

626
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: Mark viantees allow that to happen? And bad on the Mets?

627
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: They got to sell that better? Like the whoever the

628
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: trainer was or whatever, just picked the ball and put

629
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 2: it out there. You gotta pretend like you threw the

630
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: ball into the stands, like almost like fake a throw

631
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: and be like, all right, you need a new one,

632
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: like get me, get me a clean one. That'd be

633
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: a veteran move. But again, we'll leave it there.

634
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: If you have just had bad series, offensively hit the

635
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 3: big home run in the last game of the series

636
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: and he's still won the best offensive the basement in baseball.

637
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 3: So I don't give it shit it because looks like

638
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 3: for now, for now, right now, I don't care. Don't playoffs.

639
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: We'll say, right now, I don't care. But you know,

640
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: it's a good thing that when your team loses a

641
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 3: tough game like that, that you can rely on some real, trustworthy,

642
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 3: just studley pitchers and middle of your rotation.

643
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 2: You know who that guy is. Mark Paul motherfucking Blackburn, Baby,

644
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: get your beers out, everybody. I hope you had three

645
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: corps lights. I hope everyone had three beers on Wednesdays.

646
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: Paul Blackburn. Another quality start.

647
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: I love that this is a bit that we're building

648
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: up on mets up Twitter a count and that'll tweet

649
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: Paul Blackburn. Quality start with three beer, three beer emojis,

650
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: and every single time it gets hundreds of hundreds of likes.

651
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: So shout out you guys for that one. That mess

652
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 3: up Twitter. High is always strong but awesome, and he's

653
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: another one. He's made huge changes in just these two

654
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 3: stars of the Mets.

655
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: It's big, big credit.

656
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: Jeremy after is always in this podcast. But they said,

657
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 3: fuck your fastballs. We don't care anymore. He dropped his

658
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: sinker and fastball rates again on Wednesday, after he dropped

659
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: him last Friday against the Angels, his lowest rate of

660
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: sinkers in the year, his lowest rate of fastballs on

661
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 3: the year, in favor of more colors through the color

662
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: forty percent of the time, the most he's ever thrown

663
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: an individual start his entire career, and he threw it

664
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: all against the lefties. He still makes the other stuff

665
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: in against the Rithy's the color got to ninety miles

666
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 3: an hour. He also talked after the game. He gave

667
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: a great postgame interview, talked about really working with the Mets.

668
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: They're trying to help him get a better shape on

669
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: his slide. They're optimized. I think he said you some

670
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: kind of adjective there and it's been tiger. He's lost

671
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: a couple of inches of movement on that slide there,

672
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: but maybe seems like he can place it. Betther and

673
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: something else that we love that really endeared him the

674
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: Mets fans. He gushed about Francisco al for Es, of course,

675
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: said the way he catches with energy is amazing. He

676
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: calls an incredible game for being such young players that

677
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: I've loved working with him. It's been a week and

678
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: a half.

679
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I mean we've been around. Oh it's been

680
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: a week. It's been a week. We've been around Francisco Alvarez.

681
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: He has infectious. He's infectious around me. Were around him, like,

682
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 2: I want to be more around this guy. He's amazing.

683
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, Blackburn's been awesome. It's exactly what he's been.

684
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: We knew exactly what he was going to be. Quality

685
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: starts two for two, keep him going. That should be

686
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 2: six beers for everybody at home, if we're counting at

687
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: least six beers. And also shout out the fucking dog again,

688
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: Jose Budo is that fucking dude. He is so good

689
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: to come in and clean up afterwards. Out of the

690
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: bullpend this year ten games, twenty and two thirds innings,

691
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 2: twenty four strikeouts, and ERA under one a whip at

692
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: point sixty seven, Like what the fuck? Like we're I'm

693
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: having this weird conundrum now where I'm like, is he

694
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: just a reliever that's gonna be amazing or do we

695
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: try and make him a starter again?

696
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: Like he's so good It's it's funny because Budo rhymes

697
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: with Lugo kind of in a way.

698
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: Don't okay, you know what good? No say it.

699
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 3: This is our redemption for Seth Lugo, because fuck, we

700
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: missed that guy so hard. But also this is something

701
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: that weirdly we kind of foretold in this podcast per season.

702
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: I don't know when we're all Jose Budo is going

703
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: to have, but it's just the fact that a blackbird

704
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: two but Budo, because we were like, I don't know

705
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: what the shape's gonna be, but I can see this

706
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: guy giving one hundred innings of like three point five ERA,

707
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: and right now we're fifty and two thirds innings of

708
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: two to three ERA and the season better. That's I'm saying, like,

709
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: that's someone that you know, you won't think about, you

710
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 3: don't talk about. He's never on the prospect list. He's

711
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 3: not getting the features, he's not he's not promoted anywhere,

712
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: he's not doing interviews.

713
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: I think it's because the English. But he finds a

714
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 2: way to be on this team. He's free.

715
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 3: He didn't even make the opening day roster, and he's

716
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 3: been so important. Like I don't know where this Mets

717
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 3: team might have three or four fewer wins if Jose

718
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: Budda wasn't on a member of the organization for.

719
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: Dad Neil Nunias existed. I just forget saying. Thats what

720
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 2: I'm saying. He's made me forget about dead Neill come

721
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: back soon. He should be back soon him and read Garrett,

722
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: Oh wait, do you got more Jose Buddo or can

723
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: I tell a funny story on what happened on the

724
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 2: broadcast today?

725
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say more sinkers from Buddou and

726
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: more change ups in this relief role. He's starting to

727
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: get a little bit more comfortable to Slider. But we're

728
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: not there yet, but I think we're getting there.

729
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: Were you a radio guy on Thursday for Thursday's game? No,

730
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: I watched? Okay, did you notice when Gary brought up

731
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: how Reid? Garrett Danielle Nuniaz are coming back and the

732
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: Mets are gonna have to make some decisions in the bullpen,

733
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: and Adam Outovino's on the mound, and he was basically

734
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: hinting like it's probably gonna be out of you know,

735
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: like they he might be a guy on the chopping

736
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: block right now and they're zooming in on him, and Keith,

737
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: of course, in his own world, just goes, Oh, Adam's

738
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: going a little bit of a stash there, Perry's talking

739
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: about how he might be cutting, his career might be over.

740
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: He's like, look at the stash from Adam. A little

741
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: bit of a different look, how about that?

742
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: Also, it was kind of awkward that out of you know,

743
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: like make Commas s m y himself about not wanting

744
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: to get cut. That was kind of that was kind

745
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: of That was kind of weird, though, I've never heard

746
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: the chance for a player to just i you know,

747
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 3: he like does work for them.

748
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: Like so I was gonna say, have you ever heard

749
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: of a player who's worked for a t for a

750
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: network during the season. No, No, but that that's I

751
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: don't know. That was weird to me.

752
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: But even I want I want to pluay the bow

753
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: on Wednesday. First, sure, Jesse Winker. Nice good first game.

754
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: First good game is a Met. He had three hits,

755
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 3: he had a big RBI, and the Mets just had

756
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 3: their own the runs of scoring position rally. Lindor got

757
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: the big hit, which is what your best players are

758
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 3: supposed to do when the team is I'm not ever

759
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: going to say the mester scuffling with the mess just

760
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: not playing their best. Yeah, he made the big play,

761
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: he made the good hit. He had some weird moments

762
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: early in the game that you and I were talking about.

763
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 3: He seemed like he was trying to do too much,

764
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: seemed like he could feel the pressure a little bit.

765
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: He swung it a bad three to zero pitch, or

766
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: he's swung in a good three zero pitch, he just

767
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: missed it. In the second at bat of the game

768
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: against Noah Davis and he swung in a bad three

769
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: one pitch and the lazy ground ball bea that double play.

770
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: And then stole a base, which I think the Mets

771
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: had a real and got cost stealing for the first time,

772
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: and I think about six or seven weeks for maybe

773
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: the first time the season, the first time at least

774
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: in April but the Mets seemling had a plann against

775
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: Ryan Felton to steal as many bases as they can.

776
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: Lindor Is stole right away when he got on the

777
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: first inning, felt and it's one of the slowest pitchers

778
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: in the whole the whole league to home plate. And

779
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: then when the door got out against Noah Davis, he

780
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: stole like almost instinctively, with a man on third and

781
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 3: brand Nemo with the plate, which I didn't love that.

782
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: I thought that with two outs and didn't seem like

783
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: he was getting a good jump. It seemed like he

784
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 3: Gus got on the base, was like I am stealing

785
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 3: in a game. I think it might have been tied

786
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 3: it was, and he had a man out their base

787
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: with two outs.

788
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it felt like he was doing a little

789
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: bit much trying to make something happen, because they were

790
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: a little bit just like I'm not gonna say dead,

791
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: but it felt they were a little tight, a little slow,

792
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: little little lagging. So I guess you're trying to make

793
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: something happen and show Francis squavorus triple. Yes, that was

794
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: a great triple too. Sorry to started the rally. Yes,

795
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: all right, now let's talk about THIRSD I wrap up

796
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 2: the series here. Great game on Thursday, top the bottoms off.

797
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: Everything was great. That's exactly what you should do against

798
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: the Rockies. Pete Alonso two home runs. He is I believe,

799
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: the eighth player in the stack cast era to hit

800
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: two home runs in the same game that are four

801
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty feet, both over four hundred and fifty feet,

802
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: which is incredible and that's the kind of peak we need.

803
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 2: I think he had another hit in this game. Two

804
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: three hits on the day, looked a little bit more comfortable.

805
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: Did you notice it? Has he always done this? Have

806
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: I just missed it? When he hits a home run

807
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: he touched the first base, he goes like this, I

808
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: don't know, PiZZ always trying those little things like I

809
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: don't know if it's gonna catch on, But I saw

810
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: him do like a basically a beautiful kizzy goodbye.

811
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: The one he hit in the first inning too, I

812
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: don't know if you called that four seventy one or

813
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: four seventy four second long because of his career.

814
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: Wow, as the Minnesota one still number one of course? Yeah,

815
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: that boss still traveling.

816
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: That t whe's been scheduled in the Messed Up podcast, right,

817
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: I think next week or the week after, just because

818
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: that's the anniversary of it. I remember hit the time

819
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: to home running. I schedule it like in the like

820
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: in the winters, I was like, I'm gonna gonna do this.

821
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: I forget about I remember it one day. But if

822
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: Fienzo's even hit one four to twenty five feet, every

823
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: single member of the Mets starting nine got a hit.

824
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: Seven out of the nine members had a hard hit ball.

825
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: It was.

826
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: They started the game with four consecutive extra base hits,

827
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: which is a Mets record as well. Yes, Jeff mcgeil

828
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: had one of those.

829
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor three balls and play over one hundred miles

830
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: an hour. Pete just smashed three. Viento's hit three hard agains.

831
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: He's been a hint, a hint, a hair of a

832
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: cold streak for Fiento's not really the tiny bit. Tyron

833
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: Taylor two more hits and a bunch more really really

834
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: good plays in the outfield.

835
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: It's a back.

836
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: I love the fact that Tyron Taylor is having this

837
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: year because there is another move that flew super under

838
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 3: the radar, and I think everyone thought of it more

839
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: for Adrian Hauser because he's a starting pitcher and the

840
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: Mets so desperately needed pitching this past offseason. But that

841
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: was such a quintessential I'm a mighty organization. I have

842
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 3: more money than you. I will take this player for free.

843
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: The mest traited just Coleman Crowe, someone who is still

844
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: recovering from Tommy John surgery. Someone they didn't even protect

845
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: and wasn't taken the Rule five draft to acquire, just

846
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: simply the rights to Adrian Hawser and Tyron Taylor. And

847
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: Taylor has been worth I think one full win above

848
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: replacement so far this year. That it's it's the kind

849
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 3: of thing where like he's a fourth outfielder who has

850
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: been unbelievably valuable. I know the six ninety the ops

851
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: is not sexy. Yeah point six Yeah, all right, so

852
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: trending trending for one. I think it might even be warm.

853
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: I have been one.

854
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: It's the same as Luisa Rias though. There you go,

855
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 3: so that that's that's an all start to me. That's

856
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 3: hitting three hundred and really good defensive player. It's been

857
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 3: so nice. Keith mentions it most of the broadcast. Now,

858
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 3: how good this Mets team is defensively because I think

859
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: he just forgot about starling Martex. But Marte to rehab.

860
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: He's coming back soon. We'll see what the actual actually

861
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: happens with that. But without him, this outfield is fucking awesome, great,

862
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: so good. Everything across the board, they're so good.

863
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: We've been lucky. Jesse Winker, not a lot of balls

864
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: has been hit towards him because's horrendous out there, so

865
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: we haven't even had to worry about that. And something cool.

866
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: But Jesse Winker, we talked about a few episodes ago

867
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 3: when we acquired him. You're able to put Jesse Winker

868
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: in the line and you're able to hit him thered

869
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: and you don't feel that bad about giving Jay Martinez

870
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 3: day off. Jaj Martinez needs some days off. He has

871
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: old bones, and he swing has been slow and he's

872
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 3: been really trending down. So it was nice see him

873
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 3: get that day off on Wednesday, and were good.

874
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: Jose Glacier is another good series, good baseball player, fucking

875
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: so good.

876
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 3: He got the mating average still in a seven yo PS, Like,

877
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 3: how the fuck is this happening? He he also I

878
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: don't even know if you noticed it, but he made

879
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: a play today where he was chasing a fly ball

880
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 3: like in foul foul, foulsy and third base?

881
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: Was this game today? That was yesterday? It must have

882
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: been yesterday. I was watching it.

883
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and someone someone with the Rockies fans because he

884
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: missed the ball, looked like he was gonna catch it.

885
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: He just like just barely got under but missed it.

886
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 3: One of the Rockies dudes. You could see him out

887
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: and he did the hand motions. He went, Jose, oh

888
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 3: my god, like right in the front row when you

889
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 3: missed the balls.

890
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: I thought that was funny. That was good banter, good banter.

891
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, good way to end the series. Just great

892
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 2: way series. How did did we get any numbers on

893
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: Edwin's stuff from the other night from the save because

894
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: he looked pretty in control? Is that just the Rockies?

895
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: Think that might be the Rocky stink? I'll check now.

896
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: Also, our boy Victor Vodnick won save and he blew

897
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: one game, so nice. Nice he checked for us. I

898
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 3: really yeah, I went. I went on a NBC's flagship

899
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: baseball show I hosted on Wednesday, and it was like,

900
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm really looking at Victor Vodnik. I really like what

901
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: I'm seeing right now that night he gets up three

902
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 3: yearn runs in the.

903
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 2: Night that that's pretty on brand for you. Yeah, super

904
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 2: on brand from me. Budo's also throwing about a mile

905
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: of two miles an hour harder. That's great, fantastic, Uh.

906
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: Edwin stuff just had like normal cores downside velocity was

907
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 3: fine for season averages. He got up in ninety nine

908
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: point one in the fastball. I think it's a slider though.

909
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: It comes all comes back to that slider for Edwin.

910
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: He was his best.

911
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 3: That was his primary pitch and he was people weren't

912
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: close to it and he was getting a lot of

913
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 3: logally swings on.

914
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 2: I think that's what we're really looking for, to see

915
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: Edwin be back back. Yeah. And speaking of being back back,

916
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: it is Pete Alonso back back.

917
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: I think p Alonzo's back back. I think it's nice

918
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: for p Alans to be back back. Because there was

919
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: a clip that made waves on Monday before the game

920
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 3: in Saint Louis where one of the reporters asked Pete,

921
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 3: what do you think about your play this season? And Pete,

922
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: I don't think has ever been good at reading the

923
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 3: room or I also I also don't think Pete's ever

924
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: exactly been a I think I'm not gonna say that.

925
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 3: I'll say in the last eighteen months, it feels like

926
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 3: Pete has made the change, probably instructed by his agent

927
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: to really say how good he is openly a lot

928
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: because he's always trying to get every every single time

929
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: in front of the media, you're trying to get more dollars,

930
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 3: and Mets fans had a lot to say about Pete

931
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: basically being like, I'm on pace for almost forty homers. Again,

932
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: I was an All Star, Like I'm excited to play

933
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: big baseball down the stretch and people freaked out. I

934
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: say some replies for Mets fan under that clip.

935
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear some of them? Yeah, hit

936
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: me with a couple of them. This will be a

937
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: real reaction. Yeah, we got some good ones here.

938
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 3: So he's happy with this one ninety eight batting average,

939
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: runs and scoring position question mark. He's happy with RBI

940
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 3: told the question mark, give me a break. He's out

941
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: of touch. You can say it's been his struggle. If

942
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: he's gone, no one will be upset. Translation, I stole

943
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: an All Star appearance from a Cisco indoor just to

944
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: embarrass myself. In the home run derby because it's the

945
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 3: only thing I care about. And now I'll demand seven

946
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: years and two hundred and fifty million dollars from the Mets.

947
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: Instead signed with some bottom feither to waste the final

948
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 3: decent years of my career before decline.

949
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 2: These are the top replies. He's have a lot of

950
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 2: likes to reach me. Wow, I got more more.

951
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 3: The best thing you did for is Polans was not

952
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 3: signed that contract off of the team games to you

953
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: last off because it was way over what you're worth.

954
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: This team is playing their hearts out all year, and

955
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 3: all you care about is yourself. You have lost your fans.

956
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 3: Good riddance, what is happening. Good luck you're in the

957
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: team next year. Pete, You're so overrated. This guy is

958
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: so anti team it's unbelievable. All he cares about is

959
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: his own accomplishments. That's why he competes in the Homer

960
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 3: derviyor if you're like a loser, wait, he just wants

961
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: his accolades.

962
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: The best players don't even compete in that anymore, unlike Pete.

963
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 2: So just to get this, let me get this straight.

964
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: He was asked they were he was asked the question,

965
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: and the question was, Hey, Pete, how do you think

966
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: you're playing this year? He answered, and everyone was mad

967
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: that he was answering about himself. Yes, okay.

968
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 3: And I thought some of these replies were interesting because

969
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: it made me think a lot about this offseason when

970
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 3: we were doing a lot of Pilanza content. We were

971
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: really trying to juice our own social medias again, and

972
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: we were posting a lot of like would you rather

973
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 3: want so over Pie Alonzo? David Sterens did some press

974
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: stuff and he would say like, we expect Pete to

975
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 3: enter free agency and we're gonna worry about in the offseason.

976
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: And I remember that a lot of the same people

977
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: were really mad about that stuff, but then very for

978
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: very different reasons.

979
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 2: Do you remember that. Yeah, I remember people saying things

980
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 2: along the lines of we don't need Wan Soto, let's

981
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: pay Pee Alonso, or I will never go to another

982
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: Mets game if Pete Alonzo is not signed to a

983
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: lifetime contract, things like that, which is both things can

984
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: be right. You can want Wan so and you can

985
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 2: want Pete Alonso to be a New York Met. Maybe

986
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: a little bit on us for making it a divisive thing.

987
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 2: It'd say pick one because that good engagement. Because it

988
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: was great engagement. Of course that's how the boys work.

989
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is pretty crazy how quickly people flipped.

990
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: And it all comes back to that fucking asshole Joel

991
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: Sherman putting out that bullshit contract thing.

992
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: It does I think that made people turn on Pete

993
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 3: because when I saw these replies on Monday, I was like, Yo,

994
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: what the dude. I'm gonna go back to February and

995
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: January and find some of the replies that Mets fans

996
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 3: were saying then, and I have some really good ones here.

997
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: Let's hear them. So here's one on a reply to

998
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: David Sterns saying Pete can't a free agency.

999
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 3: We're going to approach it in the offseason. I will

1000
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: hate this man forever he does not make Pee a

1001
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: loonzo met for life. Another one, what the joke? David

1002
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 3: Stearns says, I refuse to give this team a cent

1003
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 3: all Caps until twenty twenty five. This is a Mickey

1004
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 3: Mouse organization. Keep paying people not on a roster but

1005
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 3: can't lock up a clubhouse legend.

1006
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, here's a good one. Do you wait?

1007
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 2: Can you go back can you see what their recent

1008
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: tweets have been. I guess I can pick some of

1009
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: these people just just as your search. As you're scrolling through,

1010
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: there's got to be a couple that are like, I

1011
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: hate this guy, get him off the team. It's you

1012
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 2: almost need to go back and like both of those personally, like, yeah, right,

1013
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: let them know that they did that. I haven't been

1014
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: able to find him now. This guy retweets everything too much.

1015
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: He has thirty five tweets. Get him out of second back.

1016
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: I'll do it eventually. I'll do his my own time.

1017
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: But then here's a no one. I'm not impressed by

1018
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: Sterns with all so far. February twelve, it's zero games.

1019
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 2: If Pete leaves the building, he should lose his job. Okay,

1020
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: that's insane. If if a guy doesn't want to play here,

1021
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: fire the GM. I have some more.

1022
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: I have no faith that Stearns will keep pie alonzo

1023
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 3: a met. I thought when Coen became the owner, we

1024
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: were never gonna lose our own players.

1025
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 2: This is ridiculous. This is really good. This is also

1026
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: funny too, because I never understood, like when people get

1027
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: mad at the gym, it's like sometimes a guy doesn't

1028
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 2: want to be there, like they like totally sometimes like

1029
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 2: it's not about the money. He's like, I don't want

1030
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: to be in New York. I don't think that's the

1031
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 2: case with Pete though. Here's another great one. This is

1032
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: exactly this, two Mets up.

1033
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 3: If the Mets want to fan base to turn on them,

1034
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: the upper management should getri with Pete right now. I

1035
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 3: want to be a Met for life. But you mark

1036
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 3: my words, if they trade Pete, they will crucify Stearns

1037
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: in his first year. This has already turned into one

1038
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 3: of the worst off seasons in team history.

1039
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: Good, good, good.

1040
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 3: It was January third. The Mets have last year, Uh

1041
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 3: not that seventy three and they're at what sixty one?

1042
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 2: Now? Yeah, I think already's here's another great one. I

1043
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: got two good ones right here. Back to bag.

1044
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: Pete Alonzo is meant to be a New York Met

1045
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 3: for life. He can never go anywhere else. I lose

1046
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 3: all my faith in Steve Cohen the front office. They

1047
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 3: can't get a deal done with a guy who will

1048
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 3: be a Hall of Famer as a Met. Here's another one.

1049
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 3: Give p the blank check. We have to keep our guys.

1050
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 3: I do not care if it's an emotional decision.

1051
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 2: We have to keep them. Yeah, that's that is what

1052
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: good teams do. They emotionally decide who's good and who isn't.

1053
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 2: This wasn't even six months ago. This is the way

1054
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: that pi Alonzo has turned.

1055
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: And I know he's not having the best year, and

1056
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 3: I understand that he hasn't been great running of the

1057
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 3: scoring position, But don't you guys see how quickly the

1058
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 3: running the scoring position things changes in just two days.

1059
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 3: Once you're called, then you get high again when a

1060
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 3: ball just drops in front of a left fielder. I

1061
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 3: just it's such a funny thing that Mets fans do,

1062
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 3: which is just we are fast, we are hot, we

1063
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 3: are on top of things, we are emotional. It's the

1064
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 3: best thing about us. But also this is baseball, guys.

1065
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 3: These seasons are long, so much happens.

1066
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: I mean, Mets fans, we love you. We are like

1067
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: you said, we are one of a kind. We are

1068
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: special in every single way possible. And thinking about this

1069
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: now and going back to the Rocky Series, it is

1070
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: kind of funny. It's a little little kismet that the

1071
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: one game they lose was when a certain I don't know,

1072
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 2: asshole Mets fan throughout the first pitch and wore a

1073
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 2: Rockies jersey for the whole game. I'm not gonna go

1074
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 2: too long about this, but throwing out the first pitch

1075
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 2: cool whatever, that's awesome. I can't believe he gets to

1076
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: do that, but that's awesome. Good for him. Wearing the

1077
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: Rockies jersey throughout the first pitch a little bit weird

1078
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: because I know the seven line has done it at

1079
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 2: City Citizens Bank Park before and they her foot down

1080
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: and be like, no, no Phillies jerseys. They're like, no

1081
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: Mets jerseys, and they're like, too bad, We're gonna do it.

1082
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: And then to wear the Rockies jersey the whole game.

1083
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I mean, if there are any of you

1084
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 2: that's still believe in whatever he does over there as

1085
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: a Mets fan and you're a Mets fan, shame on you.

1086
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 2: Shame on you.

1087
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of the whole point of

1088
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 3: this little, like stupid bullshit they segment that we're doing

1089
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 3: right now, is that the people who were outraged that

1090
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: p Alonso might not be a Met forever in February,

1091
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: and the people that are outraged that pi Alonzo is

1092
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: playing a little bit worse than his crew averages in August.

1093
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 3: And the people that might like the guy that threw

1094
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 3: that first pitch and diagram is pretty close to a

1095
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: perfect circle. And that's those are not the Met fans

1096
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 3: that we know.

1097
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: We're talking to.

1098
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 3: You guys listening to this, you guys, you guys know

1099
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 3: we're all together in this. We want this Mets team succeed.

1100
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,479
Speaker 3: We're excited for this playoff run. We're really probably happy

1101
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 3: and proud of what this rag tab batch of one

1102
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 3: year contract guys and a few team leaders and really

1103
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 3: bake stud players have done this year. And just I'm

1104
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: very excited for the next month and a half, six

1105
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: weeks of baseball we have in front of us.

1106
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 2: It's gonna be It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be

1107
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: like you can really ask for. By the way, just

1108
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 2: for comparison, Matt Olsen this year with runs in scoring

1109
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 2: position to twenty eight average, six sixty seven ops, three

1110
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: home runs with runs of scoring positions this year, I

1111
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 2: think Braves fans want to kill him. I actually think

1112
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: they do. Do you see how there was did you

1113
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: see how nobody was at the game today? We went

1114
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: to watch Charlie Barton get fucking stomped by the Brewers.

1115
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 3: Tacomo had a crazy tweet today after the game. If

1116
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 3: this is the first time that Braves have been outside

1117
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: the playoff picture in about two full calendar.

1118
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 2: Years, brings my heart. My heart goes out to them.

1119
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: I would do anything to take their spot to be sick.

1120
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: Be amazing thing right now, Just keep going, Hey, you

1124
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 3: for sure. All right, we are going to go ahead

1125
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,520

1144
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 3: see our batiful faces and we're gonna have some videos

1145
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 3: in there, so.

1146
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: We'll have some videos in there, so we will be

1147
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 2: dropping our top twenty five then, and that is the

1148
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 2: prospect report we're gonna give you. Brandon Sprote is making

1149
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 2: his debut apparently maybe at Triple A and Syracuse tonight

1150
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 2: if the rain holds off. It probably won't, but Brandon Sproke,

1151
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: we're gonna get stack cast numbers. Yeah.

1152
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 3: This is also this is the first time we're gonna

1153
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 3: getackass number because he went straight to Brooklyn.

1154
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: He didn't get to go.

1155
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 3: He didn get to go, say, Lucy, the only stack

1156
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 3: Gast numbers we have is like seven pitches he threw

1157
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 3: in the fucking Spring Breakout game when again got five

1158
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 3: swings and misses.

1159
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: Before you see the stack cast numbers, will he throw

1160
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 2: a pitch at the major league level this year, yes

1161
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 2: or no. I'm starting to think yeah, wow, okay, because

1162
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 2: last year we never put Scott to triple A.

1163
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 3: And I think that was my even because of the

1164
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 3: arm injury he had late in the year. Shot of

1165
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 3: Michael Morino for the scoop. But I think the Mets

1166
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 3: putting Sprot in triple A is a clear indication you

1167
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 3: can have a chance to maybe do something in major leagues.

1168
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 3: It reminds me, this is gonna be a dirty phrase.

1169
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 3: You're gonna kill me for saying this. Twenty twenty one.

1170
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 3: This reminds me of a guy in the Braves, a

1171
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: mustache Communists. Yeah, name Spencer Strei. There they put in

1172
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 3: the bullpen towards the end of the year, and he

1173
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: wound up being central piece for them to go on

1174
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 3: and run, and that that foretold what was going to

1175
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 3: be a monster breakout the year after that.

1176
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 2: Jesse Winker, Jock Peterson. Uh, do we get anybody else

1177
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: that's hitting Jesse Winker, Josh Jack Peterson, that's our Maybe

1178
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: that's our Jock pres Brot, a little Spencer Strider and

1179
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 2: missing a lot of other really good players that they had.

1180
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: But maybe we can get the vibes going.

1181
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 3: Uh, just I think it's similar, and I think that

1182
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: there's also to something similar Sturns in twenty eighteen.

1183
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 2: With what Drift too. Yes, definitely, all right, see it

1184
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: for sure? See it. Here we go Mariner's Preview. We

1185
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 2: are going to be joined by the hosts of the

1186
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: Marine Layer podcast. We've got Lyle Goldstein and TJ. Matthewson

1187
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: joining us. Some Mariners fans over here. Not not something

1188
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 2: that US Mets fans are too familiar with the Mariners world.

1189
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: So thank you guys for joining us. And how how

1190
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: do you How do you feel in coming into the series?

1191
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 4: Hmm?

1192
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 5: Like overall pretty good, Because if you were to tell

1193
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 5: me on August seventh, we're recording this that they were

1194
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 5: in first place, I'd say great. If you had told

1195
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 5: me they were gonna have a ten game lead a

1196
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 5: first place back in mid June and then blow it

1197
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 5: in record time, I'd say, well, that's a tough pill

1198
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 5: to swallow. So overall happy with where they're at, but

1199
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 5: it could be a lot better than where they.

1200
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 4: Are right now.

1201
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 6: And we're in this holding pattern where we're trying to

1202
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 6: gauge how functional this new offense actually is. They've been

1203
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 6: a lot better in the last month. So in case

1204
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 6: you've been living under the rock, the Mariners offense this

1205
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 6: year has just been atrocious. I mean not really good

1206
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 6: at literally anything except hitting home runs. They don't get

1207
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 6: on base, they walk a decent amount, but they are

1208
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 6: going good. They are going to set a major league

1209
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 6: record for strikeouts. That's a when, not an if. It's

1210
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 6: been better the last month. They were on a hot

1211
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 6: streak after the deadline. They scored a ton of runs

1212
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 6: with new additions like Randy eros Rain and Justin Turner.

1213
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 6: And now as we're recording this on Wednesday morning, they

1214
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 6: have recorded back to back atrocious offense games again and

1215
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 6: looked a lot like they did way before the trade

1216
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 6: deadline than they have around the trade deadline.

1217
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 2: So we're trying to you know, we're trying to figure

1218
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 2: that out.

1219
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 6: Are they going to figure it out for the final

1220
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 6: two months of the season, because if they can just

1221
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 6: hit at a league average clip, the combination of that

1222
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 6: and their pitching staff is going to carry them to

1223
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 6: a playoff spot. But if they don't do that, the

1224
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 6: bats are a little bit too inconsistent to confidently say

1225
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 6: they will.

1226
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: So we're you know, we're trying. We're just still trying

1227
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: to figure things out for the most part. TJ.

1228
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 3: That's funny you say you guys are striking out of

1229
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: the league high clip because I remember Jerry Depoo specifically

1230
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 3: in the off season saying they wanted to cut down

1231
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 3: the striker they led. Taskar Hernandez, I think is having

1232
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 3: a decent year, a decent offense, decent offensive season, walk

1233
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 3: because he strikes out too much.

1234
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 2: So where where things gone wrong this year for the

1235
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: Mariners offense? Exactly?

1236
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 6: Well, there's a reason Jerry does less media now because

1237
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 6: a lot of his quotes have have come back to

1238
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 6: bite him. I'll say his idea was it was the

1239
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 6: idea was fine, because they also struck out too much

1240
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 6: last year. They struck out the second most time in

1241
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 6: baseball last year. And when you you know, you put

1242
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 6: it down on paper. Okay, we're going to get rid

1243
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 6: of a thirty percent strikeout guy in Taskar Hernandez, We're

1244
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 6: going to get rid of a third, We're going to

1245
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 6: get rid of more strikeouts within the lineup, and we're

1246
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 6: going to add you know, Mitch Garver struck out twenty

1247
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 6: four percent of the time last year. That's fine that

1248
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 6: Luke Rayley didn't still struck out a ton when they

1249
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 6: added him in the lineup, but it was, you know,

1250
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 6: they liked his versatility a little bit more. They anticipated

1251
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 6: guys like Jory Polanco when they added him in his

1252
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 6: career twenty percent strikeout rate to enter the Mariner's lineup

1253
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden strike out thirty one percent

1254
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 6: of the time. Magically, not exactly sure that happens. There's

1255
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 6: there's just there is thrown out there. So when Jerry's

1256
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 6: putting together this idea that he's anticipating the guys in

1257
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 6: the lineup actually producing and doing what their career norms

1258
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 6: are instead of having outlier career worst seasons in certain categories.

1259
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 6: It has gotten better since the start of July. They've

1260
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 6: struck out about twenty four to twenty five percent of

1261
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 6: the time opposed to thirty percent as a team. But

1262
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 6: they still do have a ways to go to to

1263
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 6: sort of rectify this issue. And there's a couple of

1264
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 6: guys they've added that are really going to help this.

1265
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 4: So let me add on to this really fast.

1266
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 5: The Mariners in the offseason got rid of four guys

1267
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 5: who were striking out over thirty percent of the time.

1268
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 5: They got rid of Teoscar, they got rid of Auhneo Suarez,

1269
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 5: they got rid of Jared Keelnick, they got rid of

1270
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 5: Mike Ford. Those guys were striking out at like enormous

1271
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 5: clips last year, and when you factor it in with

1272
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 5: the guys you're replacing him with, you think to yourself, Okay,

1273
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 5: strikeouts should go down. Polanco's not supposed to strike out

1274
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 5: this much. You put Josh Rojas at thirty, doesn't strike

1275
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 5: out that much. Garber's a twenty three to twenty four

1276
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 5: percent strikeout guy. On paper, it looked like, yeah, strikeouts

1277
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 5: will go down this year, and then collectively as a

1278
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 5: group for the first half, everybody has alarming career worst

1279
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 5: years all in Unison that the strikeout rates just through

1280
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 5: the roof again. So yeah, no, you're right, James Jerry

1281
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 5: said we want to cut down on strikeouts.

1282
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 4: It just hasn't happened.

1283
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you guys have been bitten by the

1284
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 2: injury bug two a little bit. I know Jay Rod

1285
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 2: was not playing well, but the fact that he's not

1286
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 2: playing or healthy or doing anything really to help this

1287
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: team not helping too much. And then JP Crawford going down,

1288
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 2: who had such a phenomenal year last year. Me and

1289
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: James have been big Mariners believers for a long time,

1290
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 2: just because the pitching's so good, a lot of good,

1291
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 2: talented hitting that at least in the past had been

1292
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 2: league average. I mean, this year it is. It is

1293
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: shocking how bad the offense is. And to be fair,

1294
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: they did go out and make some moves at the deadline.

1295
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 2: Probably had one of the better deadlines this year in

1296
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 2: my opinion, grabbing Randy Rosorana, grabbing Justin Turner. Have you

1297
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: guys really felt the impact from those guys yet in

1298
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: the lineup? Yeah, they have.

1299
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 6: And it's not just those guys because I need to

1300
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 6: throw flowers at Victor Roebliss. This dude has been unbelievable.

1301
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 6: I mean, he might go down as one of the

1302
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 6: top five in season pickups they've ever had if he

1303
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 6: keeps this up the rest of the season, if not,

1304
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 6: the greatest dead to this dude was literally left for

1305
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 6: dead Washington.

1306
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 2: And he is perfect. He's perfect. He's a right handed

1307
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 2: hitting outfielder. He does not strike out. It's like below

1308
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 2: fifteen percent. It's incredible.

1309
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 6: We don't know what that looks like and he's hitting

1310
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 6: for power and he's controlling the strike so into it's

1311
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 6: literally the perfect pickup. And on top of that, you know,

1312
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 6: Lyle I have sat here at the deadline and it

1313
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 6: evaluated like, have they done as well as they possibly

1314
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 6: could have at the deadline? They could have added one

1315
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 6: more marginal bat. I think there was one more marginal

1316
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 6: bench to semi starter bat level guy out there if

1317
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 6: they wanted to do that, and they ended up not

1318
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 6: doing it because I think they were shooting for bigger fish.

1319
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 6: But overall, I think they got the best bat they

1320
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 6: needed bats at the deadline, they got the best bat

1321
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 6: they needed a reliever, and I think they got the

1322
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 6: best reliever at the deadline too, and Jimmy Garcia. So

1323
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 6: if you look at it in that sense, yeah, it

1324
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 6: was pretty good. And then Justin Turner alleviates a lot

1325
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 6: of what their issues were on the infield and overall

1326
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 6: within the lineup. He's going to reach base a lot,

1327
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 6: He's not going to strike out, even at his old age.

1328
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 6: He's not going to hit for a ton of power.

1329
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 6: But that's fine. They need him to put the bat

1330
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 6: on the ball and he's done that. It's except for

1331
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 6: almost getting hurt last night and breaking his hand. But

1332
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 6: he didn't break his hand, thankfully, it's just sore. And

1333
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 6: he's an A plus dude as well, So I would

1334
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 6: say yeah when they they have done what they've needed

1335
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 6: to do at this deadline to to to make a

1336
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 6: push for the playoffs. But they still are one bat short.

1337
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 6: All right, that's enough talking about the Mariner stuff that sucks,

1338
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 6: like the hitting. I want to give you guys a

1339
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 6: chance to talk about their pitching, because, as Mark said,

1340
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 6: him and I have been obsessed the team for a while.

1341
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 6: I think I'm going on three straight years, right, I've

1342
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 6: bet the Mariners at least to win the Pendant, if

1343
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 6: not win the World Series, and two straight years, right,

1344
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 6: bet Logan Gilbert to win the cy Young.

1345
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 2: I love these guys. Tell tell some Mets fans about

1346
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 2: your guys pitching and why it's so great.

1347
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 5: Where do you want to start? I mean, if you're

1348
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 5: betting Logan Gilbert again this year, James might come true.

1349
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 5: Not dead, not dead yet, no, Like, he's very much

1350
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 5: in the running. I don't know if he's quite a

1351
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 5: Terek Schooba level, but he's in the running. What to

1352
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 5: love about the Mariner's pitching. I mean, the guys throw

1353
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 5: a ton of strikes, they have great stuff, they have

1354
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 5: great secondaries, and you know what's interesting about these guys

1355
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 5: is they're always willing to tinker and add more pitches.

1356
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 5: Logan Gilbert his rookie year, threw a ton of fastballs

1357
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 5: and he relied so so much on his fastball. Fast

1358
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 5: forward to now, dude's got six pitches. George Kirby's kind

1359
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 5: of in a similar boat where he's added pitches over

1360
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 5: his first couple of years. Bryce Miller just added the

1361
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 5: splitter this past year because as a rookie he had

1362
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 5: some nice ups, but toward the second half of the

1363
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 5: year he was basically using two pitches and got hit

1364
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 5: pretty hard. So he said, you know what, I need

1365
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 5: something that's gonna neutralize lefties a little bit more, that's

1366
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 5: going to keep hitters off balanced a little bit more.

1367
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 5: He adds a splitter, and then now that splitter has

1368
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 5: been a really, really good pitch for him. So in

1369
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 5: a nutshell, I'd say, that's what you love about the

1370
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 5: Mariner's staff is one through five. Not only do they

1371
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 5: all have great stuff, do they all throw a ton

1372
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 5: of strikes and do they all seem to turn out

1373
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 5: great start after great start on a nightly basis. But yeah,

1374
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 5: it's like there's there's no weak spot in the rotation,

1375
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 5: which is such an inch Like it's such an odd

1376
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 5: concept to watch every night where Yeah, there's an offense

1377
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 5: that you're always pretty unsure about and you're always a

1378
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 5: little uncomfortable watching because they've had their struggles, to say

1379
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 5: the least. But pitching side of it, it's like you

1380
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 5: feel good every night with who's going out on the

1381
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 5: mound because they could spin you six or seven shutout innings.

1382
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 2: And I do know that the Mariners bullpen's been a

1383
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: little bit shakier than it has been in the past,

1384
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 2: But I mean, Andres Muno's is just simply one of

1385
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: these three best relievers in all of baseball. I know,

1386
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 2: I've got my famous tweet of I gotta name my

1387
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 2: firstborn son Patrick after Patrick Mzika hit the home run

1388
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: almost instantly after hitting send against Andras Muno's. But was there, right?

1389
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: Did he start off the year a little bit shaky

1390
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 2: and then he kind of locked in? Was that a

1391
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: thing this year?

1392
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 4: Trying to remember?

1393
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he was.

1394
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 6: He was still trying to regain his form from twenty

1395
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 6: twenty two. Lyle and I've I've mentioned this a lot

1396
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 6: last year, especially so in twenty twenty two I think

1397
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 6: was peak Andres Munoz, so he essentially relied on two

1398
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 6: pitches and he was dominant. You legitially could not have

1399
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 6: could not hit his slider. His slider was one of

1400
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 6: the three or four best pitches in baseball in twenty

1401
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 6: twenty two. Lost a little bit of that last year,

1402
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 6: but it forced him to adapt and add a sinker

1403
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 6: to his repertoire, in which he's now incorporated all three

1404
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 6: pitches confidently into his pitch mix, and I think it's

1405
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 6: really paid dividends this year. He's gotten hit less hard,

1406
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 6: the slider has regained some effectiveness, not not all the

1407
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 6: way back to his twenty twenty two level, But I

1408
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 6: think what you're thinking of early on in the season

1409
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 6: is the Mariners really had to rely upon him early

1410
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 6: on in the season. He I believe he leads major

1411
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 6: League Baseball in saves of at least four outs because

1412
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 6: they don't have the they don't have brash. This year,

1413
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 6: Gregory Santos, who we've been waiting for forever, finally gets

1414
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 6: back this past month, but gets hurt again and is

1415
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 6: right back on the injured list. And even when he

1416
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 6: was pitching, he wasn't really that effective. So it's been

1417
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 6: Muno's shouldering the load of that bullpen and feeling the

1418
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 6: pressure and the responsibility of having to be everything the

1419
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 6: bullpen needs everything. He's been the only guy in the

1420
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 6: bullpen this year. I'm not counting Jimmy Garcia because he

1421
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 6: just got here that hasn't been up and down.

1422
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: The only guy.

1423
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 6: He has been the most consistent guy among a group

1424
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 6: that has been at sometimes great, at sometimes a little shaky,

1425
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 6: especially in the middle innings.

1426
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the Mariners expected to have a big

1427
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 5: three this year out of the bullpen, but it kind

1428
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 5: of turned to a big one really fast because Brash

1429
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 5: got the Tommy John Santos has missed most of the year.

1430
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 5: But Muno's to your point, Mark, Yeah, like he might

1431
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 5: be am. I gonna say he's the best reliever in baseball, Like,

1432
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 5: can I put him over Mason Miller and Emmanuel class A.

1433
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 5: I probably wouldn't do that, but when you talk about

1434
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 5: most valuable, I would argue that it's him because if

1435
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 5: you take him out of this bullpen, I don't know

1436
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 5: where in the world this bullpen is right now, like

1437
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 5: they're They're not a league average bullpen, that's for sure.

1438
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 5: Because he has, like TJ said, he's gotten a ton

1439
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 5: of saves. He's gotten a ton of four plus out saves,

1440
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 5: and he has been absolutely dominant.

1441
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 4: Like without him, the Mariners are in a totally different

1442
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 4: spot right now.

1443
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to go through the rest of his bullpen

1444
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 3: for Mets fans, this Munio's and Jimmy Garcia they just acquired.

1445
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 3: Also we forgot Mets and Mariners made trade because we'll

1446
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 3: talking about Ryan Staneck in a second. Ask you guys,

1447
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 3: but uh names Colin Snyder, Taylor saw Say, though I

1448
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 3: think was in the Mets system for a brief period

1449
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 3: of time. Also just traded for JT. Chargua, Austin Voge,

1450
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 3: who's a long time favorite of the mine. I weirdly

1451
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 3: have him in a fan in like a very deep

1452
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 3: fantasy league that count saves and holds. So just that

1453
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: I've always had a infatuation with Austin Vothe and that

1454
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 3: big curveball, John the Hernandez and Trent Thornton. So besides

1455
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 3: Munno's this this bullpen is a little shaky back there,

1456
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 3: but they still have that great top end with him

1457
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 3: in Garcia. But guys, Ryan Stanick give Mets fans maybe

1458
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 3: a TLDR and Ryan Standicks. I think we've had an

1459
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 3: interesting first few weeks with Ryan Standick experience. So tell

1460
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 3: us what a half a season of that was. Like,

1461
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 3: I actually want to turn this back on you guys.

1462
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 6: What are your first evaluations of Ryan Stanek And I

1463
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 6: want to see how well they match up with what

1464
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 6: law I think.

1465
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we've we've always been big fans of

1466
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 2: Ryan Sank. James is the pitching whisper over here on

1467
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 2: the Mets the podcast. So this offseason when we go

1468
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 2: through like the random what bargain beIN relievers and players

1469
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 2: that we want, Ryan Sanik was a name that's come up.

1470
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 2: Ryan Sank's name that's come up in years past as

1471
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: well when we've been doing this podcast. So we like

1472
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 2: to think that David Sertins is listening because we name

1473
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 2: a random reliever and he eventually ends up on the Mets.

1474
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 2: And Ryan Sanik was one of those guys. So we've

1475
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 2: been excited and we're also so not the guys to

1476
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 2: overreact like he had that one appearance where he gave

1477
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 2: up the two home runs, and that happens. Shit happens.

1478
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 2: But otherwise, like we believe in the stuff, we believe

1479
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 2: in the picture that he is, and he's definitely better

1480
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 2: than a lot of the relievers we had in this bullpen. Yeah,

1481
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 2: we're also oh, go ahead. I love that he's just

1482
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 2: an insane human being.

1483
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 3: Like he looks like he's coming into the game, but

1484
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 3: he's also has like a Metallica show right after, Like

1485
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 3: his head's bobbing, he looks angry. There's something in his mouth.

1486
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's chewing tobac or a lot

1487
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 3: of gum, but he's just ready to fucking oh. And

1488
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 3: I also love that the Mets bullpen right now doesn't

1489
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 3: have a trustworthy lefty.

1490
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 2: We've lost Brooks Railey for the year and now we've

1491
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: dfa J. Dieman.

1492
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,479
Speaker 3: Those are supposed to be are like two headed monster

1493
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 3: against lefties coming into the year. And I like that

1494
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 3: Standings pitch makes his repertoire isn't really that split dependix.

1495
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 3: A lot of pitches just move up and down, So

1496
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 3: I like that theoretically you should be good at getting

1497
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 3: hitters out.

1498
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 6: On both sides of the plate. So he looks really intimidating,

1499
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 6: but he's actually a super nice guy. So like it's

1500
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 6: got the balance there. So thoughts on Stanic. So we

1501
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 6: were also pounding the drum for him in the off

1502
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 6: season because they needed that extra bullpen arm, and he's

1503
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 6: out of all the relievers that were on the market,

1504
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 6: he seemed like the guy. The stuff is unbelievable if

1505
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 6: you just take a look at stuff, plus for example,

1506
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 6: all of his pitches combined. I mean it's by far

1507
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 6: the best stuff in what the Mariner's bullpen had, better

1508
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 6: than Munnos, way better than Munnos's stuff if we're actually

1509
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 6: looking how it grades out. Just doesn't throw a lot

1510
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 6: of strikes, and I think the Mariners were kind of

1511
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 6: done with it, like too many two oh three to

1512
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 6: one that were just that's the antithesis of how they

1513
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 6: operate as a pitching staff where they're always talking about

1514
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 6: getting ahead in accounts. I mean it's an oh one count,

1515
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 6: it's a one to two count, like those are the

1516
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 6: counts you want to be in. And Stanik would just

1517
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 6: not do that. He just could not throw enough strikes

1518
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 6: for them to be comfortable with. And I think he

1519
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 6: was dealing with a little bit of a back issue

1520
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 6: towards his last couple of appearances as velocity was down

1521
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 6: and gave Jerry Depoto an easy reason to let go

1522
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 6: of them, and his salary probably didn't help either.

1523
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's about right.

1524
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 5: Like, obviously he's got great stuff, and we've seen Ryan

1525
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 5: Stanick and what he looks like at his best, right

1526
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 5: like on that twenty two Astros team that won it all,

1527
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 5: he was arguably the best reliever in that bullpen. It's

1528
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 5: just the last couple of years have looked a little

1529
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 5: bit different. So you know what, maybe a change of

1530
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 5: scenery is good from Mets as you I mean, you

1531
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 5: don't need us to tell you if the Mets are

1532
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 5: fighting for a playoff spot, that they're looking for bullpen arms,

1533
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 5: that maybe a change of scenery helps Ryan Stanick. Maybe

1534
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 5: Ryan Stanick in New York actually gets back to some

1535
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 5: form of the Ryan stanic that's made him really effective

1536
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 5: over the years, even if he's not gonna be like

1537
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 5: a George Kirby strike thrower out of the bullpen, Maybe

1538
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 5: he gets back to a little bit of what he

1539
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 5: was before, where he's you know, he's thrown a little

1540
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 5: bit more in terms of like his thrown a little

1541
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 5: bit better command wise, still has the great stuff, helping

1542
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 5: get lefties out, like all that stuff. So we really

1543
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 5: liked Ryan Stanek. It just when they made those trades,

1544
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 5: it honestly started to feel like he was a little

1545
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 5: bit of the odd man out. And I think for

1546
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 5: the Mariners because of the fact that they preach so

1547
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 5: much about throwing strike one and he was just walking

1548
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:33,479
Speaker 5: too many guys.

1549
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 4: He was the one that they decided to let go.

1550
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes sense.

1551
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 3: We've also talked a little bit about to Poto in trades,

1552
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 3: I know, like nationally, to Poto's kind of known as

1553
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: the trade god, like he's the king.

1554
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 2: He loves to make a deal.

1555
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 3: Do you guys have either a favorite or at least

1556
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 3: favored or a most memorable Jerry Depolo trade from the

1557
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 3: last few years, just to tell us about your feelings,

1558
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 3: your emotions, just it really describes him as a general manager,

1559
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: as an executive.

1560
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 2: Okay, do you have one?

1561
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 5: Lyle Well, I was gonna say, I think the reason

1562
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 5: a lot of the time he is a big trade

1563
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 5: guy is because he doesn't exactly have the pro like

1564
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 5: the approval from the people upstairs to actually go spend

1565
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 5: on name brand guys in free agency in the A

1566
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 5: list free agents, so he has to make do with

1567
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 5: the chips he has, which often leads to making trades

1568
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 5: because he doesn't always have the resources to go spend

1569
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 5: in free agency. But yeah, when you trade as much

1570
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 5: as he does, you're gonna make some good ones and

1571
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 5: you're gonna make some not so great ones.

1572
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 4: If I had to pick a favorite trade, I have.

1573
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 6: One that epitomizes what like the philosophy that Jerry to

1574
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 6: Poto employees, And it's going to tie directly back to

1575
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 6: our podcast. So once I said that, Lyle knows which

1576
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 6: one I'm talking about, twenty twenty one Mariners are vying

1577
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 6: for a playoff spot. It is what it's like end

1578
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 6: of July. There they are, they are going. They're playing

1579
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 6: the Astros at home. They have this dramatic come from

1580
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 6: behind victory where Dylan Moore it's a come from behind,

1581
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 6: go ahead grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning.

1582
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 6: What was it seven to nothing, ate nothing, something like that,

1583
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 6: Like they storm back against just like a really good

1584
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,439
Speaker 6: Astros team, go ahead grand slam.

1585
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 2: The vibes are at its absolute peak. Of Mariners fan.

1586
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 6: I'm like, holy, like we're in contention now, but like

1587
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 6: the rebuild's over, we're contending. We're getting this playoff spot.

1588
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 6: The next day, Jerry Depoto trades Kendall Graveman Across Dugouts

1589
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 6: to the Astros for Abe Toro.

1590
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 2: It just kills the entire vibe, the entire vibe.

1591
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 6: He was so willing and ready to make a trade

1592
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 6: for an expiring contract on a reliever that it did

1593
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 6: not matter what like who they were playing at the time,

1594
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 6: what had happened the night before, or who they were

1595
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 6: getting back. Who by the way, Abraham tor who they

1596
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 6: got back, is who I dubbed as one of the

1597
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 6: worst players I've ever seen in my life before he

1598
01:04:58,440 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 6: got cut.

1599
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 4: Oh, we could go on a tangent about this forever.

1600
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1601
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 5: Abe Toro's a fan favorite of our podcast, I'll put

1602
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 5: it like that, And specifically DJ loves to talk about him,

1603
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 5: and that's why he's a fan favorite of our podcast,

1604
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 5: and not always in the nicest light. Yeah, So, like, look,

1605
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 5: he's good, He's had his his good ones and is

1606
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 5: not his great ones, but like he has made some

1607
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 5: good trades over the years, Like, for example, when he

1608
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 5: flipped Gene Sigura right after signing him to that extension

1609
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 5: and got JP Crawford back, Like they sign him to

1610
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 5: that extension summer twenty eighteen. They decided to tear it

1611
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 5: down and rebuild shortly after that, and they got JP

1612
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 5: Crawford back for Jean Sigura.

1613
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 2: Like that was a good trade, Jared Kelnick was a

1614
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 2: great trade. Yeah, no for everybody.

1615
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 5: You know what, you just spark something. I want to

1616
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 5: get this out here on the Metstup pod while we're

1617
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 5: sitting here talking about it. Do you guys know the

1618
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 5: trumpets actually started in Seattle?

1619
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 2: Did not know that? No?

1620
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 4: No, no, no.

1621
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 5: It wasn't famous in Seattle the way it is in Queens.

1622
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 5: But like in twenty eighteen when he had his dominant

1623
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 5: year or Eddie before he got traded us, he used

1624
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 5: timmy trumpets and it like people loved it here.

1625
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 2: Then what the fuck was he doing not using the

1626
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 2: trumpets all those other years with the Mets? Tried to

1627
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 2: move on twenty nineteen. That's it really seems to be

1628
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 2: a thing with him where he needs those fucking trumpets.

1629
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, like twenty nineteen was a little

1630
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 5: bit of a different story for Edwin he is in

1631
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen. I'm surprised he didn't go back to the

1632
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 5: trumpets earlier.

1633
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I'm saying, we've mess my won that

1634
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 3: World Series instead of Nationals if he went back to

1635
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 3: those fucking trumpets earlier.

1636
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 4: But there you go.

1637
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 3: It's funny because you guys talked about the Mariners team

1638
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 3: that it's like, we'll know where the offense is coming from.

1639
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 3: We have every single night someone we trust on the

1640
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 3: MOUNTA sounds very similar to a story that Mets fans know,

1641
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 3: and we also know from our perspective that it just

1642
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 3: takes one miracle, one miracle, one get hot, sometimes one

1643
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 3: Cuban outfielder, which you guys have now suddenly fulfilled that

1644
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 3: prophecy get hot for one month, and this whole thing

1645
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 3: could really be kind of fun for you guys. So

1646
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 3: just as we close out here, what's the one thing

1647
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 3: that can happen for the Mariners that can make you

1648
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 3: guys feel euphoria the rest of the baseball So it's.

1649
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 2: Also super funny you brought brought up the rain year

1650
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 2: Rosarina comp because when I went on their podcast, they

1651
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 2: were like, does Rady feel like you're an assessment as pickup.

1652
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 2: So I didn't even tell you that. In fact, you

1653
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 2: brought it up good podcasting right there, right.

1654
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, if there was one thing that Mariners fans

1655
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 6: want that will make everyone you for could be winning

1656
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 6: the Doom World Series.

1657
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 2: That's what it would happen. Tell me about time, Well,

1658
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 2: how how it happens.

1659
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 5: We keep preaching this, We've preached it all year. They

1660
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 5: just have to get into the field, like, get into

1661
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 5: the postseason, and this rotation could do so much come October.

1662
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 5: So I think that's what it is, like, just have

1663
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 5: a decent enough offense where you can get into the field.

1664
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 5: You don't have to be the league's best offense, be

1665
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 5: the tenth best offense, the twelve bets offense, be just

1666
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 5: good enough.

1667
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 2: I've heard all these things before.

1668
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, or you can just get in and this rotation

1669
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 5: can take them a long way. So I even think

1670
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 5: man even to see them in like an ALCS. I

1671
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 5: know that sounds like loser talk because every family should

1672
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 5: say world us, but even like get there would be

1673
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 5: sick to even.

1674
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 2: You're talking to We know this so well exactly that guys.

1675
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 3: Have been to a World Series in the last decade. Yeah,

1676
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 3: it happened that one time. That decade is going to

1677
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 3: expire next year. We can't say that anymore.

1678
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 2: If your memories is losing a World Series, like, that's

1679
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 2: so fucked up.

1680
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 3: But I think we also have we have the Major

1681
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 3: League record for losing the World Series when leading for

1682
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 3: the highest percentage of innings.

1683
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1684
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 5: I really heard that stat before. They went like over

1685
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 5: eighty percent of the innings in that World.

1686
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 3: Series between seventy and eighty something like that. I don't know,

1687
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 3: it's bad defense, Oh god no, But I love Mariners fans.

1688
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 3: I like the Mariners every year. I'm just I'm so

1689
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 3: obsessed with pitching, so I love it. And then I

1690
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 3: just you guys. You guys just kind of feel like

1691
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 3: Mets West sometimes where it's like these things just fucking

1692
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 3: line up. We can win, and everyone loves the Mariners

1693
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 3: so much, and we can definitely appreciate that. From Afar,

1694
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 3: I got one question for you guys.

1695
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: A lot of people are gonna probably well I shouldn't

1696
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: say a lot of Mets fans, but there will be

1697
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 2: Mets fans that travel out to Seattle, out to T Mobile.

1698
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 4: What is it?

1699
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 2: What is T Mobile Park Park?

1700
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 3: You got it.

1701
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 2: Safego feels so much better. I missed that. But T

1702
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,839
Speaker 2: Mobile Park, what is one thing that Mets fans visiting

1703
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 2: should go to get to eat at the stadium?

1704
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 5: You know, the one thing about T Mobile Park is

1705
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 5: they actually have a lot of really good food. So

1706
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of one specific thing. I mean,

1707
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 5: the garlic fries are pretty popular at Tea Mobile Park.

1708
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 5: That's I guess if you want to do the cliche thing,

1709
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 5: it's it's that from from Kid Valley. But yeah, so

1710
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 5: I'm taking the cliche answer here, I say the garlic fries.

1711
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd probably just get something on the one hundred level.

1712
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 6: The diversity of food options on the one hundred level

1713
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 6: is is kind of bonkers. Like there's this curry place

1714
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 6: behind home Plate that I've seen people walk walk around

1715
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 6: with and I've smelled it smells pretty incredible, like not

1716
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 6: really something you would get at the ball farms. And

1717
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 6: if you want to be more exotic, they sell crickets

1718
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 6: at Hell.

1719
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:55,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna get people warning they're they're awful. Like well,

1720
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 5: so they started in what twenty nineteen where they started

1721
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 5: selling grasshoppers for people eat because it was so odd

1722
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 5: and I tried it and it's like, no, this is

1723
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 5: exactly what you'd expect. It's not some it's not some

1724
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 5: way that they dice it up and actually make it

1725
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 5: really really enjoyable as a meal or a snack or something.

1726
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 5: It's like, no, they're really bad.

1727
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, which is why if you're going to the park

1728
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 6: for the first time, you have to get it.

1729
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you ate a grasshopper at a ballpark. Curry

1730
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 2: crickets and grasshoppers. That is an interesting little bit of

1731

1816
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 2: that's my bet. I would say all Harrison is the

1817
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 2: only one guy, and Harrison batter is gonna find a

1818
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 2: new city to run through and they'll have a great time.

1819
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 3: You know, I can't even imagine the amount of texts

1820
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 3: that Harrison Bather sent out to women in Saint Louis

1821
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 3: between the hours of six twenty three pm on Sunday

1822
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 3: until the flight left Saint Louis on Monday night. I

1823
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 3: can't even imagine the rollo deexs.

1824
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 2: He went through. You know how Charles Barkley has that

1825
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 2: whole thing about San Antonio women. Yeah, it feels like

1826
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 2: it could be a Saint Louis thing too as well,

1827
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 2: like you could. They might be, they might be parallels.

1828
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 2: There's plenty of you with a woman Saint Louis.

1829
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 3: I know, I know Harrison Baylor has tried to to

1830
