1
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: What's up Mets fans and non Mets fans who listened

2
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: to the Mets Up Podcast. Here for episode number twenty

3
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: one of the Mets Up Podcast. I'm your co host

4
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: Draft neck Mark Mark Luino alongside James Sheiano Jeter had

5
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: no range talking New York Mets baseball, as we do

6
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: after every single series. We just wrapped up a four

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: game epic marathon against the San Diego Padres, and we

8
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: came out with a split, feeling good like I should.

9
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. I love it. The Mets are playing good baseball,

10
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: went toe to toe with one of the best teams

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: in the league, a team that a lot of people

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: have as like a World Series contender, and the Mets

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: and their Triple A roster. The replacements competed and won

14
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: some game. So we've got a lot, a lot of

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: really really good things to talk about this episode. It's

Speaker 2: Great, it's the twenty first episode. The podcast can finally drink.

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, let's do it. We've had some episodes where

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: we've been drinking on here. This one not one of them.

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: I will say.

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: No, I'm pretty down bad right now.

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: I had like one exotic day at the Jersey Shore

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: and I have been struggling all day.

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: But we're still here.

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: We're still giving content to the listeners because we're not

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: gonna miss flu game.

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I've been seeing the tiktoks about people are like you,

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: has anyone from the Jersey Shore had their throat close up?

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: They're like, cause I can't breathe today.

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: It seems like there's a pretty famous TikToker down there yesterday.

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: The dude he's made his thing like he has like

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: a dollar bill on a reel and he does it

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: off a balcony. Oh yeah, someone else showed me he

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: has tons of followers, shockingly because it's not even that

45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: funny of a bit.

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: But no, but shout out to that guy. All right,

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: So game one, let's get it started, because there is

48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: a lot of good things and even though the series

49
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: didn't start off necessarily hot in the win lost column

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: for US, game one, there were some things to take

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: note of, things to talk about that were positive. And

52
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: one of the big things was that Taiwan started now

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: he didn't have his best stuff, and it's it's especially

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: a night game for Taiwan, who's our day man, because

55
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: it's a ten o'clock start East Coast time. That's so

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: late for Taiwan. He hasn't been in a game at

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: ten o'clock ever ever this year, so that was a

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: tough start for him.

59
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: No, the Taiwan needs some sun.

60
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: It's interesting that you talked about positive and then you

61
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: started by bringing out Taiwan Walker, who had I would say,

62
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: probably his worst start of the entire year and did

63
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: not look right from the jump of this game.

64
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: I just feel like he was bad though, like and

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: with Taiwan, who's a guy who like again like coming

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: off the injury thing and ever like all that. Like

67
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: I he didn't have his best stuff, but like as

68
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: he always does for us, he battled. He was a

69
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: bulldog again, like he still gave us a chance.

70
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: He did battle and he kept us in the game.

71
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: But we can't understate how poor Taiwan Walker was on

72
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: Thursday night. The Padres had eight consecutive hard hit balls

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: in this game, from profar single in the first all

74
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: the way to Tatis's donger in the third, and that

75
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: was a donger that was obliterating, crushed it, so they

76
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: were all over him.

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: Inside of that run.

78
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: Was you fucking Darvish with the hardest hit ball of

79
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: the entire game at one hundred seven point three miles

80
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: an hour. You had that great tweet about Darbish against

81
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: the Mets.

82
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Darbish against the Mets is either five

83
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: for ten or five for eleven lifetime, and against the

84
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: rest of the league he's eight for one to twelve.

85
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: So you Darbish hits five hundred against the Mets and

86
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: hits about fifty against everybody else.

87
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: There's literally no way to irrationalize. That doesn't make any

88
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: makes any sense.

89
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Well, Gary and Ron before, like when Darbars got to

90
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the play they're like a man of many different pitches

91
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: and a man of very many different swings, not much

92
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: of a bat up there at the plate cracks a

93
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: single and they're like, well, you knew that was coming,

94
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Like we set ourselves up for that, dude.

95
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: The other crazy thing about this game was that Taiwan

96
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: actually had the second hardest hit ball of this game,

97
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: one hundred five points six miles an hour. And that's

98
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: pretty ironic because my tweet from Tuesday went to gram

99
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: had that single one hundred five blew up. So that's

100
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: just the universe like getting back of me for talking

101
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: about pitchers getting hits, and now both of these guys

102
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: hit harder balls. That at bat by Taiwan also was

103
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: a weird spot because that was where I think a

104
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: lot of people wanted Pete to be pinch hitting. There

105
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: were two men on yeah, and then not him not

106
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: being sent out for the fifth, and then the Padres

107
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: of course got insurance run the fifth.

108
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: We'll get to that later.

109
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: Just to stick with Taiwan for a second, there was

110
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: legit nothing working for the guy, nothing at all. He

111
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: had no easy innings. He didn't even have a pitch

112
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: that had multiple whiffs.

113
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: That's bad.

114
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had four or five the entire games, just

115
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: eight percent of all of the swings, eight percent whiffs awful, terrible,

116
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: twenty three percent called and swinging strike rate, So he

117
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: was getting some call strikes, which was I guess kept

118
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: him in alive at best, but it wasn't even close.

119
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: The one thing that we can say positive is that

120
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: all of this stuff like was fine, Like I don't

121
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: even know the peripherals about it, Like all the spin rates,

122
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: his movement is velocity. Nothing was bad there. It's like

123
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: maybe he was tipping his pitches. Maybe the padre is

124
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: just ready for him.

125
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: Who knows.

126
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: The padres also just don't swing and miss a lot,

127
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, and they also do not they don't

128
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: chase either. They're so disciplined at the play, Like every

129
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: single guy one through nine or one through eight, let's

130
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: just say they all like don't strike out too often,

131
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: like the Tatis will strike out because he's a free swinger,

132
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: but he is still pretty selective at the plate and

133
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: when he does swing, like he's typically hitting the ball

134
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: pretty hard. So like all their guys take pitches, work

135
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: the counts, like, don't chase. It's a really hard lineup

136
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: to dice up because not only just talent wise, but

137
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: like their approach. Even a guy like Jerkson Profar, who

138
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: like really isn't very good, but he serves the purpose

139
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: of what he does in the Padres lineup, which is

140
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: just like see pitches, get on base, be a scrappy

141
00:05:59,360 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: little player.

142
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: He's perfect for that role too.

143
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: Like he's taken everything he was supposed to be athletically

144
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: that he lost, to the all injuries he's had and

145
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: just not really living up to the building which that

146
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: happens to prospects, and pushed all of that into this

147
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: plate discipline monster that he is. Joe Mattana is doing

148
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: something similarly right now too, even as a better athlete,

149
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: just so also can't seem to hit. And the real

150
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: story of this game was darbish. It's very hard to

151
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: win a game when you don't get a hit. For

152
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: five innings, Mess didn't even score a run. No, that

153
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: was Friday.

154
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: Night, There's no Mess didn't even score a run.

155
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Jacob Barnes came in after Taiwan. He gave us some

156
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: very good innings that helped he's turning into actually make

157
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: a pretty good believer. After we trashed him early on.

158
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: His VILA was up to I feel like I felt

159
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: like he was sitting at like ninety five ninety six.

160
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what his average came out to, but

161
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: like I just feel like watching it, I noticed like

162
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: Barnes throw a little bit harder and like the stuff

163
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: was moving, like he looked strong again. I'm he's still

164
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: not even close to like one of our top end guys,

165
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: and he never will be. We shouldn't be aut a

166
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: point where Jacob Barnes ever is, but for the purpose

167
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: that he's serving now, where it's like he can come

168
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: into a game where the Mets are losing and keep

169
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: it close. That's huge for this team because as we

170
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: saw we got later in the game, it was important

171
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: that that game got close because we almost brought it back.

172
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: I know I'm jumping ahead a little bit here, but

173
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: that's huge.

174
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, multiple times, barn is the captain of the C

175
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: team and that's like the perfect role for him right now.

176
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: Yes, and that's great.

177
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: That's actually another good merchandise idea have like C team

178
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: like our bullpens.

179
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: Like eighteen BTC team. That is funny. We'll work on that.

180
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: But one cool thing I want to pull from this

181
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: game was Tim Hill's story of becoming a baseball player.

182
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: Because I texted you about this. On Thursday night, Wayne

183
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: ran Dazzo shared it on the radio broadcast, and I

184
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: was just shocked to hear this guy's life should be

185
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: a movie.

186
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: And we've got like a weird thing with Tim Hill too,

187
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: because back in my days, when I was a little

188
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, paler of skin, not getting the sun out

189
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: on the terrace and didn't weigh a little bit much

190
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: as much as I do now, I was getting comparisons

191
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: to looking like Tim Hill. So there's like a weird,

192
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: like weird connection here with me and Tim Hill. He

193
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: first off, is really good, he's santastic, he's disgusting. He's

194
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: a great left reliever. But his story that you told

195
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: me blew my mind. I'd never heard it. I don't

196
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: know how.

197
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: No one knows this, No one knows this to share

198
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: with the listeners right now.

199
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: Tim Hill was a high school baseball player, unheralded, not recruited,

200
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: nothing special at all. He was kind of meandering after

201
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: high school. Didn't go to college, or maybe he did.

202
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: This was after college. But the wind makes sense because

203
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: he's still not super old his sister lived in San

204
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: Diego and got him a warehouse job.

205
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: So he moved out to San Diego.

206
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: Was living there working in a warehouse, and him and

207
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: some of the guys at the warehouse had a ball

208
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: of tape. Apparently they would throw around like on the floor, which.

209
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: This is this is this is a movie.

210
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was throwing it very hard from the left side,

211
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: and these guys were like, have you ever played baseball?

212
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: He's like a pitch low in high school. They're like,

213
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: we're playing a men's league, Like you should come out

214
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: and play, and he was like sure, And he's just

215
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: dominating a men's league in San Diego. Right after that,

216
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: of course, because he has tons of talent and he's whaling.

217
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: A ball lefty.

218
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: He parlays that into I don't know if he was

219
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: like discovered or if he started playing in like a

220
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: club team or something. Eventually got a scholarship to play

221
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: in an niAA.

222
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: School in Oklahoma Juco. Yeah, yeah, junior college.

223
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: He pitched there for a couple of years, wounds up

224
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: getting drafted in the mid to late rounds by the

225
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: Padres and even then, like you think he's drafted minor

226
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: leagues like Wow, Tim Hill made it after all that shit. No,

227
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: hold the phone for a second. He got colon cancer

228
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: right after he got drafted while he was in the minors.

229
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: He missed a full year with chemotherapy. Then he came

230
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: back and finally made the big leagues.

231
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he like I knew that. He started off

232
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: with the Royals and then like got trade to the

233
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: Padres or Royer. He did, but he was a he

234
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: was a California kid. He was like a San Diego

235
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: kind of guy. I think he's from Mission Hills or

236
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: something like that, which is, you know, in between there

237
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles, whatever it is.

238
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm not a.

239
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: Geographer, but like the fact that one he's like this

240
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: like weird lefty that we don't really see often where

241
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: he's like a side arm submarine herky jerky almost like

242
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Steve Seeschek like, but from the left hand side, which

243
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: like no one does that. You always think of the

244
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: submarine guys side armors. They're always right handed. You'll get

245
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: like the left handed Oliver Perez kind of stuff like

246
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: that side arm, but not consistently. And he also like

247
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: throws kind of hard. He throws like ninety two ninety

248
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: three he's got six stuff. He's really good. So I'm

249
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: glad that he's doing well. That's a really cool story.

250
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: I think like a lot of people don't know that.

251
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: If the dude for the rookie who's like a teacher

252
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: who was like an okay pitcher for the Rays for

253
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: like a year, can get a movie, Tim Hill should

254
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: get one. I'm all aboard the Tim Hill movie trade.

255
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: And you could possibly play him in the adaptation as

256
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: long as you can mimic the left emotion.

257
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: Listen, we don't have to work. My right shoulder is

258
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: the one that's fucked up. My left shoulder might be

259
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: completely fine. The way he throws, I could probably learn

260
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: how to throw a little underhand and get it out there.

261
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: At ninety two.

262
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker played Ted Williams and the adaptation about his life.

263
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: So this works perfectly.

264
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Fine, Yeah, but it could happen.

265
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, dive back into the game.

266
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: We did get a little bit of life in the

267
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: sixth inning that might have been against Tim Hill, honestly,

268
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, McCann got a home run after Francisco Lindor knock,

269
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: which your.

270
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: Boy, my boy.

271
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Well, both of our boys, Lindor and McCann heating up. Dude,

272
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: both of them are heating up. I know, like Lindor

273
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: really based on these last seven games. You can take

274
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: his like last twenty eight or something like that, and

275
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: he basically has an OPS at like eight hundred, which

276
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: is so funny because his OPS is still like six fifty.

277
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: But really this last week, like this West Coast trip,

278
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: his bat woke up. He's swinging the bat well, he's

279
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: balanced at the plate, driving the ball, And same thing

280
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: with McCann. McCann is just like he's not gonna be

281
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: a guy who hits like even close to two sixty probably. Ever,

282
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: he's like really more of like a two thirty two

283
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: to forty hitter, I think, like at his like best.

284
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: So people are gonna see the batting average still low

285
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: probably and be like, oh, what do you mean he's

286
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: like locked in at the plate, But what we're seeing

287
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: is the power from him and he's driving the ball.

288
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: And even though he's had some like at bats where

289
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: like he did look overmatched, there was one I don't

290
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: know game Tour, game three where he was like he

291
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: got screwed on an outside call that made it oh

292
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: two instead of one to one, and then he threw

293
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: a slider in the same spot, had to swing. You

294
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: gotta look into the at bats a little bit more.

295
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: He's been having good ones though. He's hitting the ball hard.

296
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: He did it again in Game one.

297
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: Definitely, he's driving the ball to the opposite field.

298
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: He's he literally like when he came here, he talked

299
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: about driving the ball opposite field, and for the first

300
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: month and a half he refused to.

301
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 3: And it seems anywhere.

302
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we had an outfield flyball tracker on him,

303
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: but like literally we mentioned it. We're gonna keep mentioning it.

304
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: But like ever since he fucked up his hat on

305
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: that dive, he is just taking a deep breath and

306
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: he's playing his game again, which is nice to see

307
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: the Mets need it.

308
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, great to see the Mets didn't need it, and

309
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: we really felt like something was gonna happen that inning.

310
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: And then Pete Alonzo came up as the pinch either

311
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: when people thought he should have come up in the

312
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: fourth inning for Taiwan whenever he got a big RBI

313
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: spot I think for first and second bases may have

314
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: been loaded here in the sixth Yeah, and he had

315
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: a backbreaking double play, So really take us out of

316
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: a game, and I support the decision to had Pete

317
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: Alonzo pinch hit. I didn't love that he did it

318
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: for Mason Williams because with a short bench, VR was

319
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: still unavailable at Thursday night, You're kind of removing two

320
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: players at once, which sucks. But Pete was up in

321
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: an RBI chance or whatever, and this was They've done

322
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: that multiple times now for Mason Williams the series. I

323
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: remember Friday night they also did that, which I'll just

324
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 2: jump ahead get this point off right now, where they

325
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: had Dominic Smith pinch hit for Mason Williams and again

326
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: still with no VR available, they burned two players. That

327
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: sucks with a short bench, don't I don't like doing that.

328
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: I like getting the guys, like guaranteeing that these guys

329
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: will be up in these situations to drive in runs

330
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: with that dom spot, Like there was two outs, so

331
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 2: there was no guarantee that his spot would even come

332
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: next inning and down two runs, he might not have

333
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: a chance to tie the game.

334
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 3: But hate burning two players like that. I hate it.

335
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you wish it could have been different, but

336
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: I also like your hands are tied at that point,

337
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: Like it's either you let Mason Williams hit and everyone goes,

338
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: where's Alonso? Or you burn two guys and you just

339
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: had to burn two at that point, didn't really end

340
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: up mattering. I mean like we didn't lose. I mean,

341
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: we didn't lose that game because like we burned two

342
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: position players or whatever it was. He needed to get

343
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: a hit there. That was really what it came down to.

344
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: Not really, but to jump ahead to the ninth inning.

345
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: Now we'll get back to the eighth in a second.

346
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: Ndo got the leadoff singles, the last man on the bench,

347
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: and there was no one.

348
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: To run for him.

349
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then I guess who would have ran though,

350
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: because they only like.

351
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean with him Blankenhorne, who ended up pinch

352
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: hitting after Pete or he was the last guy who he.

353
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: Came in, Yes, because he came in to play the outfield.

354
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: Because they then moved I think McKinney to center, or

355
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: they move moved pillarti center, whatever it was. Yeah, Okay,

356
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: I see your point now with that, I get what

357
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: you're saying. You could have had Nido run.

358
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: Definitely.

359
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: It's not like we lost because Needle couldn't make it home.

360
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: Because we didn't get any hits besides the Nido single

361
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: and the Parazza walk.

362
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: And the McKinney triple.

363
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: Well, the mckina triple is anything.

364
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that triple for a second,

365
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: because damn, this guy is an electric factory.

366
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: He's great bombs.

367
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: My dad's already like he's gonna be the right fielder

368
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: next year.

369
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think my dad's on the same trade.

370
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: My dad.

371
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: When they called up Billy or like got Billy McKinney,

372
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: he's like, this guy's a ball player. Billy's gonna be

373
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: my guy. My dad loves finding like a guy who

374
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: like really doesn't have any business like being a big

375
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: fan of like he loved Matt Reynolds back in the

376
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: day for like seemingly no reason. He's like, that's a

377
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: guy who plays hard nose baseball. And he's the same

378
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: way with Billy McKinney, even though he knows nothing about

379
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: Billy McKinney's career.

380
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: Really generic white guy's white name.

381
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: He's like, that's a ballplayer right there.

382
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: But mckinnie's been great.

383
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: He's getting extra base hits out the wazoo since the

384
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: Mets pulled him up. That ball was like inches away

385
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: from being a home run. I really thought it was

386
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: going out.

387
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Stupid friggin' right field that shuts out for no reason.

388
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: The real story with that play, I think there's actually

389
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: two real stories from that two one something you were

390
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: very upset about that. I agree with you. De Sarcina

391
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: should have sent him.

392
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: Desarcina stinks at third base, awful.

393
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if he would have been safe.

394
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: But with two outs, two outs, and you have and

395
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Drury was up next. So it's not like you

396
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: had Lindor Alonzo dom one of your guys. You have

397
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Jury, who, as you know, nice of the players

398
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: he's been for us. I think Brandon Jury probably goes, yeah,

399
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: you send him.

400
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: Like but the real story here, why mckinn you couldn't

401
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: come home was because Manny Michilo made that I think

402
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: was one of the best plays in Major League Baseball

403
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: this year. He the Padres will use him as their

404
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: shift second basement and they let him play like one

405
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: hundred feet.

406
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: In the outfield, basically shallow field.

407
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but he.

408
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: Has such a good arm that he can get out

409
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: from there and like knock off tons of ground balls.

410
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: Because he also has range, but he tracked that fly

411
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: ball basically all the way to the wall with whoever was.

412
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: Playing right field, Will Myers.

413
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: That was Will Myers, Yeah, who's no, not a very

414
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: good fielder. But after it took that weird hop off

415
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: that corner wall and bounced all the way back in

416
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: the center, where the center fielder was nowhere to be found,

417
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: Machado hoofed it all the way, got that ball in

418
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: right center and hit the cutoff man perfectly on one

419
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: bound to hold McKinney at third.

420
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what up? Saving the whole game.

421
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: Basically huge play. McKinney was running those bases, though he's

422
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: got some wheels. I didn't think he could run like that.

423
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: Well Nathley, first round pick, competent major league baseball player

424
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: does it at all? But the competent now, yeah, he's good,

425
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: good ass player. But it didn't matter. We got guys

426
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: on base against Malanson. I wanted to hit that guy

427
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: so freaking bad this season.

428
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: He's so he's not good.

429
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: For years, I've been bad mouthing Mark Malanson behind his

430
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: back on Twitter with friends.

431
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: Colleagues, peers, you've swayed my opinion on Mark.

432
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's completely formed. Your opinion on him. The guy.

433
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: Fuck that guy doesn't strike anybody out. Everything's a soft

434
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: contact god. But like whatever had men on Polar at

435
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: a double play?

436
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick with the Polar double play thing, because

437
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: I think that this is also important lineup construction, which

438
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: we've talked about with the Mets team a lot. Polar

439
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: was leading off that game. It didn't lose this the

440
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: game Pilar leading off doesn't lose us. But this, I

441
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: think if there was ever a game to show someone

442
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: why lead off two and three are the most important

443
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: guys to have as your best hitters, that was the

444
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: example because Kevin Pillar came up in that scenario double play.

445
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: If it's Lindor, It's not that he wouldn't hit into

446
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: a double play. It's very likely he could have. But

447
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that you have your

448
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: best guys getting the most at bats possible. That's where

449
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: like having Polar lead off is so bizarre. So just

450
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: wanted to throw that out there in case people were

451
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: always wondering why we talk about that so much. That

452
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: game was literal proof as to why you have to

453
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: hit your best hitters one, two, three, And we've even

454
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: talked about with Alonzo hitting four behind mccannon sometimes like, wow.

455
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 2: My god, I tweeted that that was Friday night. How

456
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 2: could this possibly be happening?

457
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: Universe?

458
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: Do you want James mccannon to get more shots at

459
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: play appearances than Peter A Linzo?

460
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: And that happened in Game two as well. There was

461
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: like a big moment where McCann made I think the

462
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: final out of an inning or made just like.

463
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: It was to jump in the game too.

464
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: That was when Lindor had the triple the single triple, yes,

465
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: and McCann struck out on a very non competitive at bat.

466
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: Then Pek came up after him, battled and got out

467
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: as well, so it didn't really matter, but I guess

468
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: it did kind of matter for momentum.

469
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like again, like the best to.

470
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: The ninth inning.

471
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: He also he blew the rally because Lindor got a hit,

472
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: McCann had no competitive at bat, and the Peak got the.

473
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: Hit right after.

474
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: So like stacking those two together higher in the order,

475
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: like those guys with the way the meth lineup is

476
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: right now, and Don Smith didn't even play like the

477
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: guy's getting it.

478
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: I get.

479
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: I get that's a tough lefty Blake Snell, but we

480
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: don't have many bats right now, like those Lindor Alonzo

481
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: Smith should be one, two, three when those guys are

482
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: in the lineup, and then them to get the air beat.

483
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: When VR comes back. VR is the leadoff because he's

484
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: done a great job at leadoff right now. But yeah,

485
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: Game two gonna get up against Blake Snell, who's like

486
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: cy young stuff. We know it. He's got the guts

487
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: to shut you down at any given moment, and unfortunately

488
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: for the Mets, he was shut down that night. He

489
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: was filthy. That was like the best Blake Snell's probably

490
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: looked in a very very long time. He went into

491
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: the like what seventh inning for the first time ever

492
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: or something like that, Like, you know since the Sion year.

493
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: His longest outing since April twenty nineteen, the SI year

494
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: April twenty eight teams the same year.

495
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: Oh okay, dude, that April twenty nineteen game, by the way,

496
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: I think I was at that was it again? It

497
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: might have been against the Yankees or something. I think

498
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: I was at that game, and I think he was

499
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: taking a no hitter deep in that one too, which

500
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: is perfect.

501
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: Game through the fifth.

502
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, freaking crazy, Like, how the fuck two nights in

503
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: a row and that's what I have a hit through

504
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: the fifth inning?

505
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: Are you goddamn kidding me?

506
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean the Potters' pitching is good though, so.

507
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very good, Like I get that, but the hit,

508
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: I fucking hit just one, please get a hit.

509
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: And especially this game felt like it was gonna be

510
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: a long one because Noell, off the jump, you were like,

511
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: this guy's right. He figured it out, like something clicked

512
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: again with him. He was gassing ninety seven. He was

513
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: throwing tons of curved balls, locating them. Sure, I don't

514
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: know if he gonna be good now forever after this,

515
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: because the med wamp is pretty bad. But to have

516
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: Snell shut us down the first ending, he felt like

517
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: it was he had it back. And then Chado hit

518
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: that knooker at the bottom of the inning.

519
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: I was like, oh crap, like there's Luczy, there's Joey, like.

520
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: But the iron he Lukaz actually looked like pretty good

521
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: after the bomb, like he really settled down.

522
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was he was like, we're not gonna

523
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: go that he's good yet, of course, because we're still

524
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: sane people. But he was a competitive. He was a

525
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: competent major league pitcher that night.

526
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: As he was.

527
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: And the big thing that Joey Fuego had this game

528
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: where there was some Fuego evolved. He was throwing his

529
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: hardest churves of the season. Got that baby up to

530
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: eighty three miles an hour, and Gary was like, oh,

531
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: got that one.

532
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: Pretty hard. Average.

533
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: Vello on the churve was up two miles an hour

534
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: on Friday night compared to his year long average. So

535
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: that's something we can hang our hat on. Maybe that's

536
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: something him and Heffner been working with. Everyone else's in

537
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: this rotation has been gaining velocity, so maybe Joey Fuego's

538
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: there too. It didn't lead to whiffs though, so he's

539
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: still not any think sixteen percent whiffs on the game.

540
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: He still just doesn't have stuff whatsoever. And I echo

541
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: your point that it's not time to be like we

542
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: gotta get Joey Lukazy some more rnings. The guy's a

543
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: major league pitcher. That's not where we're at.

544
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

545
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm seeing some people on Twitter being like this Lukeazy

546
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: guy is pretty good, and I'm like, well, how about

547
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: he's not that bad? That's what it should really be

548
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: is he's not that bad. He's not good, He's just

549
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: not that bad.

550
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: We have to like climb stairs to give Lukezy compliments.

551
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: It's like, this guy fucking sucks, this guy's not good,

552
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: this guy's okay, this guy's not bad.

553
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: I'll allow him to pitch every five days when we

554
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: have guys missing.

555
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I think maybe he can get skipped next

556
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: week because we have the off days, the double off day.

557
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: But we'll cross that Bridgeman gets to it, even though

558
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: they actually haven't scheduled right now to still pitch whatever,

559
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: ya ya YadA. Get into that seventh inning. That was

560
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: a backbreaker when Lindor's on third base when nobody out

561
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: and we're only down one run at the time, and

562
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: our three four and five hitters couldn't even put the

563
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: ball in play to drive him home. Shit the bed,

564
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: Oh really, shit the bed. We can had his an

565
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: april at bad. It was fucking off.

566
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: Was that the bat though? That he got the bad

567
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: call in the outside corner and then the slide? Well

568
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: who was pitching that that inning?

569
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 3: It was still Snell?

570
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, No, it wasn't that.

571
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he did have a bad call, Drew.

572
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: He had a very bad call, and he took himself

573
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: out of the bat immediately.

574
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: Yes, he okay, that's outing.

575
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: And Pete had like a six pitch battle and he

576
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: was getting good win on it, but he just like

577
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: he couldn't get around on Blake Snell's fastball, which sucked,

578
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: and he Snell gave him two hit able curves with

579
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: two strikes. And you almost wish that Pete could have

580
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 2: sat breaking ball for those pitches because then when he

581
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: did get another fastball, he just popped it up and

582
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: the bat was over, which stuck.

583
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Because Lindor, like that was like there he is Dad's

584
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: Francisco frigging Lindor. That's our guy right there, by the way,

585
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: just a Lindor comment here. He is a fantastic bass runner.

586
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: He cuts the bass so well.

587
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: He's a fantastic baseball player. He's a superstar.

588
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: Like he's just so good.

589
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: He's been getting a lot of shit because he hasn't

590
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: been great. We know that.

591
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: I think people forgot that he's one of the best

592
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: players in baseball and people, oh god, the stupid what

593
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: have we not talking about?

594
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 3: The Washington Post article.

595
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: I think they came out last Monday, the worst statistician in.

596
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 3: The history of the Earth.

597
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, he said the percentage of hits at that's

598
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: per hit for physiscal Indor, you mean fucking.

599
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 3: Batting average, idiot?

600
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you that that that's so bad?

601
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: That article was like a slap in the face to

602
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: any baseball analyst ever ever, all time, even the guys

603
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: from like the nineteen thirties and shit, who were talking

604
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: about batting average and what they saw, Like, what a

605
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: fucking joke. Whatever, Lindor is heating up since then, I

606
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: can't wait to dunk on that asshole nerd loser's grave.

607
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: At the end of the season, I.

608
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: Got so many tweets bookmarked about how Lindor is a

609
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: waste of money, he's not that good. I'm like, it's

610
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: incredible how you could say that after forty games when

611
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: you know the season is one hundred and sixty two. Like,

612
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: that's so crazy.

613
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm bookmarked for all my mccannhete but we'll

614
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: take that that happens, no worries. The real story of

615
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: this game, though, came in the bottom of the seventh inning, when,

616
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: for some reason unbeknownst to me, Drew Smith came out

617
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 2: for a second ending of work and we are the

618
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 2: pre eminent Drew Smith podcast on the Internet. No one

619
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: loves Drew Smith more than me and Mark Drew Flow.

620
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 2: He's a king, he's a god. He runs that Sea

621
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: team with Jacob Barnes, like, this guy is a piece,

622
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 2: and I'm confident in that. That being said, he's not

623
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: a two winning pitcher.

624
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: No, not yet. I don't know if he ever will be,

625
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: but definitely not right now, especially like coming off of

626
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: like he's still kind of being like slowly brought back

627
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: into the like bullpen, like they seem to be very

628
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: it seems like very much like he's pitching today. He's

629
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: coming in at some point that's it. And then he's

630
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: done well.

631
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: The reason he even got work, and I think they

632
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: wanted him throw a second inning because he hadn't pitched

633
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: in eight days. Yeah, so I think they were like,

634
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: Drew's fresh. He looked good in that inning. He did

635
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: look very good in that sixth inning, So send it

636
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: back out there. But the second Will Myers laces a

637
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 2: double to start the inning, you gotta take him out.

638
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: And then he was even ahead of Profar and hit

639
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: him with a two strike pitch right in the kneecap,

640
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: which is like, now you take him out.

641
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: He also did get screwed though on that took a pita. Marcano. Yeah,

642
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: first all strike, second off he swung. So yeah, two

643
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: strikes and Marcan took a pizza. Was walking back to

644
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: the dugout. The umpire's like, no, he didn't go, and

645
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: he's like, all right, I guess I didn't. I guess

646
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: that's a walk.

647
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: And Marcano's thing is that he is like a contact dude,

648
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: like even through the minor leagues, like he never strikes out,

649
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: he never walks, so he has great play discipline. So

650
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: he was laying off that light pitch and that strikes

651
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: out was fucking shit show anyway.

652
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Quinn Walcott or whatever, what the hell kind of name

653
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: is Quinn Walcott by the way, that's two last names.

654
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: That sounds like a name of like someone who lived

655
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: in the South in the eighteen like hundreds, but.

656
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: Like wasn't wealthy. Yes, like Quinn Walcott was like the.

657
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 2: The tailor of He was a cobbler, yeah, a locksmith

658
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: or something, yeah, an iron welder, like he made a living,

659
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: but he wasn't wealthy. Quinn Walcott like a side character

660
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: and like a realistic fiction book about like the Antebellum America,

661
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: but like to digress, like he had Marcano out. That

662
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: situation wasn't good and the familia came into the top

663
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 2: of the order and it was just not a good

664
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: situation for years familiar it wasn't.

665
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: It wasn't.

666
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: You can't bring him in like with basses juiced. I

667
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: don't were the basis load at that point?

668
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: Second, okay, because I think, well maybe it was basis loaded. Honestly,

669
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if he gave up two runs or one.

670
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: But Myers hit the double and then Profar got hit

671
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: for first and second. Then Markando walks, so the basis.

672
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, basis. Look, you definitely can't bring Jerry's familia with

673
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: basis loaded, just because he is so volatile with how

674
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be. He's either pounding the strike zone looking filthy,

675
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: or he doesn't have it, and he did not have

676
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: it for those first two batters. He could not find

677
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: his own. Also didn't help that McCann was not helping

678
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: him out behind the plate either.

679
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: He can't drop that ball. He lost this loss of

680
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: strike he should have had. I think that was getting

681
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: the child that at that. But really I can't think

682
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: of a worse matchup for years Familiar.

683
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: Than Tommy fam Yeah, terrible.

684
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: The guy didn't chase anything. Familiar doesn't throw any actual strikes.

685
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: No Familia lives by because you become impatient and swing.

686
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: And you hit that stupid fucking sticker and he just didn't.

687
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: He just didn't swing at it, and Tommy fam took

688
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 2: his walk. Machila came up, he took his walk, and

689
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: that's the year's Familia experience. Sometimes he's just gonna walk

690
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: some people. And he did happen to do it twice

691
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: with the basis loaded, and that basically took a set

692
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: at this game.

693
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: But you know, ninth inning came up. I think it's

694
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: important to note that McCann got tossed from the game.

695
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: He had enough. He did not like the n Rojas

696
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: and I was fucking loving it. I was. I wanted

697
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: to tweet about it, but I told Twitter good night

698
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: because I had enough. When Familiar walked the two guys,

699
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: I think I was done, but I mcm like. I

700
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: loved seeing McCain get pissed because he was like, I'm

701
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: not playing this. The game's over, so fuck you, you suck.

702
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: And then he got tossed real quick, and Rojas came

703
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: out and immediately called up a motherfucker, which I love.

704
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: I love when guys call umpires motherfuckers. But the best

705
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: thing that I loved about Rojas going out there one

706
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: was like it seemed like it was just like Ah

707
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: was a distresser ninth inning trying to fire up the

708
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: team with the last two at bats that you have

709
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: in the game. Cool with it, love it from like

710
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: a motivation standpoint, but also he just started calling out

711
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: every umpire he pointed, and this motherfucker, and you asshole,

712
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: and you you all fucked us, Like he was dropping

713
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: f bomb's left and right, which you never see from

714
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: Louis Rojas. The dude's calm, cool and collected, and I honestly,

715
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something crazier. I think it played to

716
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: the Mets advantage the rest of the series, because we

717
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: started getting.

718
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 3: Some halls that'll take us into Game three.

719
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: And I love the idea of setting your team on fire,

720
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: like I always say that, like when you have a

721
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: player's only meeting, or like when a manager gets ejected

722
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: in you're trying to get a spark, you gotta make

723
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: sure your ace is going the next day. You're not

724
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: doing that on a whim, Like we're not. We're not

725
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: just firing up the team with David Peterson on the hill. Yeah,

726
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 2: Luis Rojas was like, we just lost two in a row.

727
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get the boys hot. The Grom's pitching tomorrow

728
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: is gonna work. And it fucking worked because de Graam

729
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: did get tons of calls on Friday night, Like that's

730
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: not the story of de Gram's night, but it's kind

731
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: of like like Michael Jordan Lebron like in the NBA,

732
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: Like when you're a superstar, like fucking tray bitch ass young,

733
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: you're going to get calls. And d Gram was getting

734
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: all those like inch half inch off the plates like

735
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: they were bringing it back, Needo, bringing it in, bringing

736
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: it in, bringing it in.

737
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: It worked.

738
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: But that's not the story of Jacob Gram. The story

739
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: of Jacob mcgraham is that he is the best pitcher

740
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: on planet Earth. And if you don't agree with that,

741
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 2: you're a fucking idiot.

742
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bill James is a fucking idiot. He has Garrett

743
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Cole ahead him by good margin, and then Bower is

744
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: real close. So yeah, Bill James, thanks for saber Metrics,

745
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: I guess, but also like, how did it go so wrong?

746
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the game has passed Bill James by anyone who

747
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: still follows him on Twitter could can well know that

748
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: for sure.

749
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: But I'm in the camp now.

750
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: Where I think that we're actually watching like the greatest

751
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: stretch of any pitcher of all time, Like he does

752
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: things every single star You're just like, wow, it's a spectacle.

753
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: Jacob gram is a spectacle. He must watch television.

754
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: He literally has the best nine starts to start a

755
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: season ever ever in the history of baseball. He has

756
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: the lowest DRA he has like strikeout wives. He's comparable

757
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: to Pedro Martinez is like Cy Young record breaking year

758
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: we had like the one ad Ra or whatever he had,

759
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: and he gave up half the hits, by the way,

760
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: and half the walks and like same amount of home

761
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: runs whatever. And then they also compared to Bob Gibson's year,

762
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: which is like the gold standard you know of like

763
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: best pitching years of all time one point one or

764
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and he Bob Gibson did't strike out

765
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: as many guys because of the era. Of course, but

766
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: to Graham had like two times of strikeouts technically, and

767
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: he had half the hits and half the walks, and

768
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: it's like he's doing stuff that like actually isn't real,

769
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: Like he shouldn't be whatever, sixty innings into a season

770
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: and give up twenty four hits. Only that's insane.

771
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're turning the way through right now, alright, is

772
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: less than point seven The other season I listed on

773
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: our notes along with Pager in two thousand and Gibson

774
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: sixty eight. That similar was that crazy area other run

775
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. Yeah, that that's up there too, because

776
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: he went like eight nine starts and he gave up

777
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: like less, like less and ten hits.

778
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty unbelievable.

779
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: But du Gram is doing it in a different way

780
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: because he's just only throwing fastballs and sliders.

781
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: He just didn't and they're all on the same spot too.

782
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: They showed, like the graphic of his strikeout, everything's lowing

783
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: away to a right handed batter.

784
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: He could tell the guys like fastball low and away,

785
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: and what are they gonna do? He has thrown the

786
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: twenty fast pitchers of all starting pitchers in baseball this year.

787
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: That's crazy, that's stupid.

788
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: It's not even no one's even close to him.

789
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: He is in such a category above the rest of

790
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: the league right now, like it's becoming historic, like with

791
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 2: just about and it's amazing to be a part of,

792
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: especially because again he threw out his changeup basically and

793
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: has only thrown like three or four curve balls all year.

794
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: It's just the fastball and slider and no one is

795
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: near it, no one can't touch it.

796
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: The other crazy thing about Jacob to Grom, which like

797
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: it's a little more of just like the the freak

798
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: that he is. He's the fifty sixth fastest player in

799
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball as well, because he like he hit

800
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: that ball on the ground like on a double play

801
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: and beat it out easily, and it was like how

802
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: And then I looked up a sprint speed. He has

803
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: like a twenty eight point five foot per second like

804
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: for Sprince speed, which puts him like tied for the

805
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: top fifty with guys that are like great athletes. Like

806
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't make and he throws one hundred and two.

807
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 3: He's a great athlete. Yeah.

808
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: The only thing we could take away from the ground

809
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: in this game is that he went over three from

810
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: the plate.

811
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: Yeah he's slumping.

812
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, step it up, Jacob, We need you to carry

813
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: this offense a little bit more, although he didn't need

814
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: to because the Boys went out and they scored against

815
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: Joe Muscove, who was a good pitcher.

816
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 3: He's a good picture.

817
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: Muscove actually had more with than the ground in this game,

818
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: which I found pretty funny.

819
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: He had what like twelve or thirteen strikeouts or eleven

820
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: through five had he's amazing.

821
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but once we did get into that fifth anthing,

822
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: we got the fucking bombs from my boy Piazza, who's

823
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: been rock solid, competent major League baseball player and was

824
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: getting Franciscool the door heating up.

825
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: Let's go you.

826
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was a very good hit swing

827
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: left handed. You alluded to his seven game stretch year,

828
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: and I actually pulled the stats from it. He had

829
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: a little four game, fifteen at bat hitless streak like

830
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: through that Sunday in Miami where your yan moother got

831
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: crushed and the first couple games against the Rockies. But

832
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: since that Saturday game in Atlanta where he hit that bomb,

833
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: the thirteen run explosion that we had, he's hitting four

834
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: h six with a four to twenty four on base

835
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: seven nineteen slugging, which is ironic because all season he'd

836
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: been walking and that was his thing, and he has

837
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: drawn no walks over the last week as he's been

838
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: hitting the ball. So that's going to be something to

839
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: watch moving forward, but not an issue.

840
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 3: Whatever.

841
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: Five extra base hits, ten run score and two hundred

842
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: and fourteen WRC plus. So this guy is becoming the

843
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: guy that we all expected during the offseason, that we

844
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: got him during spring training when he was lighting the

845
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: world on fire. And I think we're gonna get one

846
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: of those like classic Francisco indoor hot streaks now coming up.

847
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

848
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: Ron even alluded to it in the game today where

849
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Lindor fouled off a couple pitches, and he said, that's

850
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: how you know he's back is because earlier in the

851
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: season he just weakly puts that into the play, either

852
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: as a weak fly ball or a week round ball

853
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: and gets out. He goes, but he's fouling him off

854
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: because he knows that he's comfortable in the box, everything's

855
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: doing right. He's just get it out of here, Give

856
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: me the next one, give me the next one. He's

857
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: not trying to put every single ball in play that

858
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: he sees, which it's nice. He's just see. We could

859
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, Mets fans like he's common, He's coming.

860
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: You take a deep breath. I am officially off the

861
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: hook for Trulopa Batman.

862
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's at six fifty nine. Now, I don't think

863
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: you have to worry about six hundred.

864
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: I'm ready to rock. That's freaking awesome. Another cool thing

865
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: about this game is Lugo. He came in in the

866
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: eighth inning, so it seems like he's going to get

867
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: back into that role as being one of the primary

868
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: setup men for Edwin Diaz, which is so cool that

869
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: we're getting him back as Trevor may is kind of

870
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: struggling after migul Castro had a little bit of a

871
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: cool strick that now he's got gotten hot again. But

872
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: just to take the pressure off those guys and have

873
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: that three headed monster before we get to Diaz in.

874
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 3: The ninth is electric.

875
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: He also his vlostity was up about a mile an

876
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: hour across the board all of his pitches since that

877
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: first adding, So he's gonna get stronger, he's gonna get better,

878
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: and he is one of.

879
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 3: The best relievers in baseball, and everyone's gonna remember it.

880
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: Just the pitch mix alone, like from a reliever doesn't happen.

881
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons why, Like when they

882
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: first made that move to him as a reliever, they

883
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: were so excited. They were like, because he has a

884
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: pitch mix of like three or four legitimately good different pitches.

885
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and he's gonna be able to go one

886
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty percent balls to the wall with those

887
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: three to four different pitches. So that's just something you

888
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: don't see from relievers, especially top guys. Chapman's fastball slider,

889
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: and now he has the splitter, which is a little

890
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: weird and that's dangerous. Hater's fastball slider. Like they are

891
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: two pitch pitchers, Liam Hendricks, Like these guys are all

892
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: two pitch pictures.

893
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: I thought Hendricks had a third. Doesn't he do a

894
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: fastball change up curve?

895
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: The change up's not like huge or whatever, But like

896
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: having the ability to one have like really good stuff

897
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: and then also have three to four really good things

898
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: as a reliever makes him so valuable. And he can

899
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: give us length when he's healthy, like bringing him backs

900
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: huge and.

901
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 2: He debuted a sinker this time out where I think

902
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: he's always had a two seamer, but Savant categorized it

903
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: as a sinker. I don't think the Padres are ready

904
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 2: for because Luco threw three times, and all three.

905
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 3: Of them he got a call strike with Yeah, no way,

906
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: they're ready, no, which is.

907
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: Cool, and then Diaz closed the door a little bit

908
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: of trouble there with YadA YadA. He threw his hardest

909
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: pitch of the season, one hundred two miles an hour.

910
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: Frigging, which is eight not even fair. He's just he's great.

911
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: Love Edwin good.

912
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 2: He's so freaking good, Like seventy year old uncle was

913
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: over today. He's like this guy, Edwin. He gives me

914
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: so much stress. I'm like, do you understand the other

915
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: relievers in baseball? Like, how could you complain about Edmund Diaz.

916
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: He's like, absolutely, no question about that. A top five

917
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: closer in the league right now.

918
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent for the twenty twenty one season,

919
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: even including twenty twenty, he's top five without a death.

920
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: That is the player that Mets traded for.

921
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 2: And that outfielder on the Mariners doesn't have a hit.

922
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: Since Yeah, he's been a stinking, a little bit weird

923
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: little fact here. There was a guy that like, I'm

924
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: friendly with around like draft MLB Draft Circles, prospect guy

925
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: who wrote an article talking about how he predicted this

926
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: to a t with Kelennick. And he goes, Yeah, and

927
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: it's not because he goes, he's gonna be a star.

928
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna be sick, he goes, but he's gonna come

929
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: up and he's gonna struggle, and that's gonna be the

930
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: first time he's ever dealt with any sort of adversity

931
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: in his life. He goes, he did it like for

932
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: like a week in the minors and it tumbled and

933
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: someone got to him quickly enough. He goes, but he's

934
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: gonna get to the majors and he's probably gonna be

935
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: staying here. They're not gonna send him back down again

936
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: because he doesn't seem like he's a guy who handles

937
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: adversity well. So that's gonna be part of his growth

938
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: thing with like being a great young star. He's a

939
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: dude who, like, I mean, we saw it in the

940
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: videos about him. He's very cocky. He knows he's good.

941
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: He went out and bought a g wagon with like

942
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: his paycheck immediately and was showing it off to everybody.

943
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: So he's a guy who knows what's up. He knows

944
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: what kind of player he is dealing with. That versus

945
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: gonna be huge for him. We saw Edwin Diaz deal

946
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: with adversity and he's come back stronger. So you know what,

947
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Kelnick, go ahead, come back stronger. We got our

948
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: guy with Diaz. Now he's pitching well, I have no

949
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: complaints anymore.

950
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: Definitely, we're gonna get dunked down for the next ten

951
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: years with kell Nick because that's just what happens on

952
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 2: social media with other teams and like media outlets around baseball.

953
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: So when he's doing bad, I want to mention it.

954
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know what, when the Mets get a

955
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: World Series inevitably at some point and Edwin Diaz has

956
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: thrown that last pitch in that game, I don't give

957
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: a shit about what we made in that trade anymore.

958
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 3: We got it.

959
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: We got a World Series. In my lifetime. I can

960
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: die happy.

961
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: I don't care about it. I'd like that Jerrey Callen

962
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 2: center field right now, but that's neither here nor there.

963
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 2: Let's move on to Game four because it's a great

964
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 2: game for the New York Meds parlayed that awesome momentum

965
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: that we build on Saturday into fucking split with the Padres,

966
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 2: and then all started with my boy, our boy, Marcus

967
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: goddamn Strowman.

968
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: He's been so good.

969
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: I've said over and over again. He is the most

970
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 2: important player on this team. Like, yeah, Jacob de Gram,

971
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: Franciss Golden Door, like we need those guys, those the

972
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: cy young and MVP candidates that we had to pay

973
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: a lot of money. But Stroman is the piece where like,

974
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: if you take that piece out, all this crumbles. But

975
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 2: if that piece in there and it's stable, we can

976
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 2: all stand up on top of him because he's giving

977
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: us innings, he's giving us outs, strikeouts, keeping us in

978
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: every single game. He is freaking awesome. Got a little

979
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: nervous about him last couple weeks. He had a couple

980
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 2: of not so great starts in a row. But he

981
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 2: is just putting it together over and over again. It's

982
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: amazing to watch.

983
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: Literally, the one run he gave up today was his

984
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: own doing, because he got a little cocky hot dog

985
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: did a little bit. There was a little chopper right

986
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: back to him from Tatis, which would have been so huge.

987
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: The Mets like went up, you know, three nothing, little

988
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: chopper right back to him. Stroman is a great fielder.

989
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: Gold glove guys like, and he loves showing off the glove. Yeah,

990
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: he always points to it. Got a little cocky, kind

991
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: of like scooped it up with some flair and like,

992
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: you know, kind of doing his thing to Pete and

993
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: looked at you. Threw him like a curveball, spiked it

994
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: right into the ground. Pete didn't also do a great

995
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: job trying to scoop it. Pete kind of just like

996
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: stonehanded a little bit and then it got away. I

997
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: don't know how it got so far away, by the way,

998
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't thrown hard.

999
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 2: He made two of the worst players I've ever seen

1000
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: in my life back to back. He just shoot down

1001
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: his leg like that happens. I think that as the

1002
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 2: boss score of the way for some He always I

1003
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 2: used to make a big play like that's the nature

1004
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 2: of Peeve Alonzo. So he slid down and like made

1005
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 2: like a middland fielder play tried to nail Tattist's second I.

1006
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: Think as he was falling into the net.

1007
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now the thing.

1008
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 2: I think his on his wind up he actually hit

1009
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 2: the net and he just lost control of the ball

1010
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: and talk about spiked it.

1011
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 3: He sent the ball behind home plate.

1012
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: Out of play. It literally went out of play. I

1013
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: don't know how good And it was kind of cool that.

1014
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 2: Though here it was kind of cool that if you

1015
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: watched that play closely, Tatis wasn't even aware of what

1016
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 2: happened at first because Lindor held a tag on him. Yeah,

1017
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: and it made him hesitate for a second. It almost

1018
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: made him not get the third. Of course, the ball

1019
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: was again behind home plate and he was run at

1020
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: the third base, so no one's getting him out.

1021
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: But that was a cool little well head he played

1022
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: by Lindor. He loved that shit.

1023
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: Lindor does that stuff. He dude all series long. How

1024
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: many like hugs and talking to guys and conversations.

1025
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 3: Him in Macha though hilarious.

1026
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: Well, it was on third base, I think after the

1027
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: triple and he was like fake and stealing home. I

1028
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: think he was straight up talking to the picture and

1029
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: he's like, ah, I'm not gonna do it, don't worry

1030
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: about me. Like it was like this guy's a he's

1031
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: a character.

1032
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 2: He's a character. But yeah, but that that weird play

1033
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: from Troman. Whatever happens, he did get us the run

1034
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: back The next inning was really fucking cool. After I

1035
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: think we had double play that raced a leadoff hit Parazza,

1036
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: my guy heavy play saw Mittey all the way basically

1037
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: in the outfield, Grass dropped a beauty of a drag

1038
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 2: bunt down the first pitch of the bad no play

1039
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 2: at all, and then Stroman fucking laced the double right

1040
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 2: down the line and aggressive dr scene is sent. Parazza

1041
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: got is a massive run.

1042
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: Thank god. He said, well, did you see they cut

1043
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: to the bench and everybody on the bench is like,

1044
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: send them, send them go. They're like go, and Rojas

1045
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: is like he better fucking send them like he was,

1046
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: like he was pissy, He's going, He's gotta go because

1047
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: I think they all know that d Src is a

1048
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: little trigger or trigger shy sometimes when he's over there

1049
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: at third base, he just.

1050
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: Has no sense of the trigger. He's either trigger shy

1051
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:48,479
Speaker 2: or trigger happy.

1052
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 3: It's it's not good.

1053
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: We got Joe Eshwy Fargas versus you know, you can

1054
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: even go back to like the Wan Lagars thing from

1055
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: uh Toy nineteen z's where he was all over the place,

1056
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: but it was good. He also so after he made

1057
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: the error. Stroman, I don't know if you watch or

1058
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: if you notice, but he got like a big strikeout

1059
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: and immediately turned around and screamed fuck, like loud shouted.

1060
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: He was pissed, and then he threw There was like

1061
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: one pitch that he threw that might have broke literally

1062
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: from the outside corner to the inside corner, and Will

1063
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: Myers was got blown up by it. It was insane.

1064
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: It was a crazy sinker that like the cut all

1065
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 2: the way in. And I actually wrote this in the

1066
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: notes because his sinker as highest whift rate of the

1067
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: season today at forty six percent, and this is one

1068
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: of the stars for Stroman, like just pushing the sinker,

1069
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 2: pushing the sinker, pushing the sinker. So that's like a

1070
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 2: pretty weird thing. Maybe it's a new sinker because generally

1071
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 2: you're never going to sustain fifty percent whifts on a sinker.

1072
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 2: It's a contact oriented pitch. But it's very cool that

1073
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: he did that. But something to monitor with Stroman before

1074
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: I get into his full breakdown was all of his

1075
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: velocity and RPMs were down across all of his pitches.

1076
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: And as we have the GOO crack down around Major

1077
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 2: League Baseball, foreign stubstance are going to be reprimanded. Pitchers

1078
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: using for and stubsons are going to be repriment We

1079
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: saw calls RPMs down, we saw bowers RPMs down today.

1080
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 3: This something's going to happen.

1081
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: So this is something to definitely monitor with Stroman because

1082
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: you're naive to think that your team isn't using foreign substances.

1083
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 2: Everyone in the league using it, every single person. So

1084
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: we have to keep an eye now and Stroman to

1085
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 2: see where his stuff is at in the next couple

1086
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: of starts. Like he was effective today, but this could

1087
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 2: maybe be less effective in the future. I don't know,

1088
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, just something to watch.

1089
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: He did lose control a little bit today. He walked

1090
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: like four guys I think through four innings at one point,

1091
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: and that's just not Stroman, Like he has a one

1092
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: point eight walk per nine. That puts about a nine.

1093
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 3: For the game.

1094
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: So that's like crazy, So you know, definitely something to monitor.

1095
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: But he still got the job done. He was still

1096
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: so good.

1097
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 3: Definitely, dude.

1098
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: He threw four pitches at least nineteen times.

1099
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: Which is dope. He loves seeing that.

1100
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 2: Arsenal, like a lot of different pitches, love seeing that

1101
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 2: thirty two percent whiffs overall very good. One of his

1102
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: highest rates of the season. Only caveat was he only

1103
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: threw one fastball. That one fastball did get a whiff.

1104
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to clamor for Marcus Stroman to throw that

1105
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 2: pitch more in the entire season as long as he doesn't.

1106
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 3: But take our win. He had a great game. Hit

1107
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: his job's freaking awesome.

1108
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: And then offensively we got some nice stuff there. Billy McKinney,

1109
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: Billy Bombs, got his first single as a New York

1110
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: met He got two of them. Actually, yeah, he's like

1111
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: just he's a good little player. I think if we're

1112
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna do like this non Francisco indoor leadoff, I like

1113
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: him over Pillar because at least Billy McKinney seems to

1114
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: be patient at the plate as well, where Pilar has

1115
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: never been a guy who walks, No.

1116
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: He doesn't, And McKinny isn't really a walker either. I

1117
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 2: think he can be, but he's at least hot right now.

1118
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: So let's if we want to do a hot hand

1119
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: approach with that leadof until we get Nimo back, until

1120
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 2: and Fourthill mcneeler back.

1121
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 3: Sure, let's do it. I'm cool with that. Dom hit

1122
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 3: a bomb today too, well, Dom Bomb.

1123
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: Got the hips, baby, It's all in the hips, Dom Smith.

1124
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: He's been listening to uh chubbs or whatever.

1125
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dom just watched Billy Madison last week and now

1126
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 2: he's been hot ever since. Who could have thunken? But

1127
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: look good?

1128
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 3: Look good? This lineup looks much longer.

1129
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: When Dom is hitting, and he's been hitting for the

1130
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: last week.

1131
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: When Dom's hitting, and even just having Peep back in

1132
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: the lineup makes it so much longer. And then like

1133
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: McCann stepping up when it like when he gets into

1134
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: the game. Although he didn't play well today by any means,

1135
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: but it's gonna happen. He's a two thirty hitter. Like

1136
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: we said, the Mets did enough what they needed to

1137
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: do offensively to win this game. Castro came in and

1138
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: was sick again because Miguel Castro has just turned into

1139
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: a creative player and MLB the show who throws one

1140
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: hundred and one miles an hour and just throws heat

1141
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 1: with every pitch that he has.

1142
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: Dude ninety five mile an hour change up today, that's

1143
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: not fair, laugh out a lot funny. His hardest of

1144
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: the year, Like, is that even a change up anymore?

1145
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: That's harder than Joey Lukezy has ever thrown a baseball.

1146
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 3: Every It's harder than he's ever thrown a baseball in

1147
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: his dreams.

1148
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. May came into the ninth in the non

1149
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: safe situation after we got a big lead.

1150
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: How'd we get that lea? Howd we send that lead

1151
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 3: in the eighth? So we got what did we do

1152
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 3: somebody in the home run?

1153
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: I gotta think about it.

1154
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: I think we can't hit a home run after you

1155
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: just trashed him. We can't to hit a home run.

1156
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, mckin did it on a home run. Because

1157
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: I said, I'm getting all the there's four games we

1158
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: got to talk about. There's so many. But because I

1159
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: tweeted McCanns so so back and people are like, no,

1160
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: he's not he was never good. And I was like, hey, Padres, fans,

1161
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: uh fucking cry more please because you're talking so much

1162
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: shit before the series and you split with the Triple

1163
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: A Mets. But I'll save my rant for a little

1164
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: bit later. But yeah, McCann, big Homer May. Just something

1165
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: is fundamentally wrong with Trevor May. I don't know what

1166
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: it is, but they're like, since the month of May

1167
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: came around, would go figure his namesake, he has been

1168
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: just off. He hasn't been bad by any means, but

1169
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't been lights out like we saw. I don't

1170
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 1: know if we maybe got a little too excited about

1171
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: what we saw from him, and we're like kind of

1172
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: like you know, like riding like the high and the

1173
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: low and just like thinking it's a really bigger downgrade

1174
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: than it actually has been. I don't know, I'm a

1175
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: little concerned with him.

1176
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm not that concerned with him, just

1177
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: because we saw like what he can be, and like

1178
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 2: all of the stuff is still there. It's just simply

1179
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: either mechanical or just there's something he's not doing right

1180
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 2: now because he's not getting that fast publication he was

1181
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: getting during the month of April.

1182
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 3: Like he'll iron this out.

1183
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 2: Like relievers, This ebbs and flows as relievers, especially a

1184
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: guy like Meg throws so hard, who puts so much

1185
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: into every appearance, like he'll be fine now. The luxury

1186
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: of having Luke back as we could reduce May's role

1187
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 2: a little bit less high lever situations.

1188
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 3: Let him figure a shit back out. He'll be there.

1189
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 3: He got bailed out by that Lindor diving playing the.

1190
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: Nine sick play. How did they first off, how did

1191
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: he get to that ball? And second how did they

1192
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: get Jorge Mateo at second? I don't care how hard

1193
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: that ball is hit. This dude is a superhuman on

1194
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: the base pats and for some reason he was out

1195
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: by thirty feet.

1196
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1197
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 2: I think Matato is the fastest player in the league.

1198
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: He's top five at the least.

1199
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but that was amazing bailed him out because

1200
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: all three of the batted balls editing had been laced

1201
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 2: to that point, including that one, and you were kind

1202
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 2: of nervous that at the heart of the San Diego

1203
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 2: order was coming up and May didn't look good. But

1204
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 2: whatever we did, it got the outs, won the game,

1205
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 2: split the series with the Padres, put our stamp as

1206
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 2: one of the better teams in the National League, which

1207
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 2: will lead you directly into this rant. Thats gonna be

1208
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: part of our Bad Mets takes of the week.

1209
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, after.

1210
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: It, So you know, I'm a man of Twitter, I

1211
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: love to tweet here and there and after the Braves series,

1212
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: or was after the Brave series, which one was? Maybe

1213
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: after the diamond Back I talked about how like, you know,

1214
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: we used to be loll you know, lol Mets, but

1215
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: we're in first place with a triple A, double A lineup.

1216
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 1: Some games we've had the most guys on the IL.

1217
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: We have used forty five different players this year in

1218
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: forty five different in forty five games. That's unheard of.

1219
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: That's an insane number. I know the Potters have dealt

1220
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: with injuries too, but they're not even close to the Mets.

1221
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: They might have had guys on longer, but they haven't

1222
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: had as many on at one time. This Mets team

1223
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: has gone through all the rigors of a season that

1224
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: you would want over a full season. They did it

1225
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: in a month, and they came out that month with

1226
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 1: a winning record, in first place, with a commanding lead,

1227
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 1: looking like a good baseball team playing Jose freaking Piaza

1228
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: at second base. Nobody wanted this guy. He took a

1229
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: minor league deal with the Mets. Took a minor league deal.

1230
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: It's ended up paying huge dividends. Huge shout out to

1231
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: the GM, the front office, everybody for making those moves,

1232
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: because they really have not missed on the guys that

1233
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: they've been picking up so far. But to go back

1234
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: to the thing tweet about how it seems like baseball

1235
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: Twitter is starting to hate the Mets, and I kind

1236
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: of love it. I'm kind of cool with it, because

1237
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: you only hate things that are good. You only hate

1238
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: things that you're jealous about. No one hates the Rockies,

1239
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: No one hates the Orioles because they stink.

1240
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 3: You hate them. Their own their own fans hate them.

1241
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but that's like more so Jeff Burditch

1242
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: or whatever his name was, that's really his fault. But

1243
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: you only hate things that are good, you know. No

1244
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: one hates things that are bad. And in terms of sports,

1245
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: obviously there's bad things that everyone hates. But yeah, not

1246
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: the point of the story. People were coming at me

1247
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: and saying, oh, the Mets playing a bad division. This

1248
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: team thinks they can't be good teams even today. People

1249
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: when I tweeted out like, the Mets just split a

1250
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: series on the road against the Padres, who are considered

1251
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: to be one of the top three teams in all

1252
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: of baseball, and people are like, oh, look like you

1253
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: said we can't be good teams because we're in a

1254
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: bad division. You said this or that. They're like, oh,

1255
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: the Mets are four and twelve against teams like you know,

1256
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: over five hundred. While that is a true statistic, one true,

1257
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: why does that take away from us being the Padres

1258
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: on the road this time? What does what does that

1259
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: statistic have to do with the Mets going into San

1260
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: Diego and honestly playing better baseball than the Padres for

1261
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: most of the series. I'm confident in saying that.

1262
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: There's a universe where the Mets could have swept this series, Yes,

1263
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 2: very easily, even taking three out of four, if they

1264
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: could have gone to plans in one time, or if

1265
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 2: one of those double plays from Thursday night just finds

1266
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: a hole rather than a glove, if there's a different shift.

1267
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 3: The Mets did.

1268
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 2: Play a better series than Padres. The Mets were scrappy.

1269
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 2: There was not a moment this series where the Mets

1270
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: were out of the game against one of the better

1271
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 2: teams in baseball. Who had I would say, they're three

1272
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 2: of their best pitchers on the mound.

1273
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: Like I don't feel like the Padres had a chance

1274
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: to win in Game three or Game four. The Mets

1275
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: had a chance in Game one and two both games

1276
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: had chances to take a lead there where the Padres

1277
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: really didn't have a shot in Game three or four.

1278
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 2: We didn't even mention today that Pete got a big

1279
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 2: Ribby single off Chris Paddock. Yeah, and you could see

1280
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 2: the entire bench was very excited about that.

1281
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: The sheriff is a fucking loser. That guy stinks.

1282
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 2: Sheriff again, anyone with the nickname the sheriff, you need

1283
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 2: a new nickname.

1284
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: He should throw that curveball board though. That pittch was

1285
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:53,479
Speaker 1: pretty filthy today.

1286
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, He's still good. But I'm not gonna take

1287
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 2: anythingwhere from Chris Paddock. But I don't like people taking

1288
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 2: away from the Mets. And that record against teams above

1289
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 2: five hundred is going to change a lot next week

1290
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 2: when the Braves and Phillies both go over five hundred.

1291
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: It also bothers me too, because like people were literally,

1292
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a little you know, French here were

1293
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: sucking Aaron Boone off when the Yankees had injuries and

1294
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: they were playing well, when they were playing Talkman, and

1295
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: all these guys the Mets are doing it. Not a

1296
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: word from the media. Nobody's talking about the adversity of

1297
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: the Mets have gone through, nobody's talking about all the injuries.

1298
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: It is literally Anthony Diacomo, who seems to be the

1299
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: only good Mets beat writer and like legitimate metfans, But

1300
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: everybody else is like, this team's not legit. I don't

1301
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: know what they have to do to prove to you

1302
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: that they're good. They just beat the Padres with friggin'

1303
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: Mason Williams, who they out picked up from a DFA.

1304
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 3: Like what, There's not much the Mets can do to

1305
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:46,479
Speaker 3: make me think they're more legit.

1306
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, I think the Mets are very clearly the

1307
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 2: third best team in nationally, just because I still don't

1308
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 2: buy the Cubs pitching staff.

1309
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, yes.

1310
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 2: He can't actually have a feature article a few weeks ago.

1311
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: I think I mentioned another podcast. I'll mention it to

1312
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 2: the new listeners where they roll the entire article about

1313
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: the team who's gone through the most adversity and fall

1314
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 2: through the most injuries as the Chicago Cubs.

1315
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is just ridiculous.

1316
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 3: Who's got hurt in the Cups?

1317
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 2: Oh?

1318
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: No, Alec Mills. What are we gonna do?

1319
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: I think Riz was like a week.

1320
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been playing for a month without any players,

1321
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 2: and we have one of the biggest divisional leads in baseball.

1322
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 3: We took the Padres.

1323
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: The Braves took a series from the Dodgers this week,

1324
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 2: and no one mention that, oh, that the Braves might

1325
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 2: be good.

1326
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: Now we played a bad division, so we can't.

1327
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 3: We can't. The Mets couldn't win the al Least. The

1328
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 3: al Least is so good? It is, yeah, good, sure,

1329
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 3: but the Yankees fucking suck. Fuck. The Yankees swept by

1330
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 3: the Red Socks at home. First they lost. Yes, Oh,

1331
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 3: let's go.

1332
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: That's a live reaction. I didn't know they lost tonight.

1333
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 2: Let's go, yeahs to just peep the scoreboard where you're

1334
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 2: on your end, get ready preview. Look the Mets fans

1335
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: get excited. There's something special happening around this team right now.

1336
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 2: We have something called good juju. We got the juju, Baby,

1337
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,439
Speaker 2: we got some juju. Things are gonna happen. It's gonna

1338
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: be a very fun summer in Queens. Get to some games.

1339
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: Ninety and starting this Friday night, will both be there

1340
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 2: to see de gram slice up these very same Padres.

1341
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna be some sick vibes before that happens. We

1342
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: have a quick little two game set with the Orioles,

1343
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: and I intend to pulverize that shit team.

1344
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: We need to be our you know, run differential. Is

1345
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: I still think green? I think we're back in the

1346
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: green again. Yeah, we're we gotta get that thing like

1347
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: towards like the plus fifty, because there's no reason that

1348
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: we should go into Camden and not score twenty five

1349
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: runs a game.

1350
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 2: Well, no, because we're gonna be facing her old friend

1351
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 2: Matt Harvey on Wednesday evening and she.

1352
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: Were facing Tuesday. Your boy Bruce, My boy Bruce. I

1353
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: can't gotta rooget him, My boy Bruce.

1354
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 3: He's actually look kind of good recently. That game.

1355
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 2: I don't know what's gonna happen because Peterson has been

1356
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 2: a disaster and Bruce Immerman has been okay, and the

1357
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: ball is gonna be flying out the Camden once you

1358
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 2: hit Dune and Camden Yards, it's fucking home runs.

1359
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 3: Derby.

1360
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: Let's make Labor Torres look like a decent major league

1361
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: baseball player.

1362
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still gonna have that run in august In

1363
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: Candy Yards. We was gonna hit five home runs in

1364
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 2: a three game series and his stats will look good again.

1365
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 2: But that's something that happens. We gotta win that game

1366
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: ten eight, and we have to win Wednesday's game fourteen

1367
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 2: to nothing.

1368
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no excuse for not taking both from the

1369
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: Orioles here. They're just a bad baseball It's simple. They're

1370
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: not good. And Trey man Scene he's great.

1371
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, treman See is great.

1372
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: My boy Mullens, that's about it.

1373
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 2: He's been very hot. I mean, they have a couple

1374
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: of relievers who are worth half a shit. Paul Friyes, okay,

1375
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 2: Carl Sultzler, who we trashed a couple months ago, is

1376
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 2: suddenly good.

1377
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I like, uh, what's his name? Tanner Scott too,

1378
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: he's got some good stuff.

1379
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 3: No, these guys are fine. Sure.

1380
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 2: The only thing I'm worried about this Oriole series is

1381
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 2: a game getting rained out because there's been some rain

1382
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 2: in the forecast for this week's Let's fuck this team up.

1383
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: You have to have to take two here. Splitting is

1384
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: not an option. You gotta win both games because you

1385
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: literally are just the better team. The Orioles won what

1386
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: like four games in the month of May. I think Orioles, Yeah,

1387
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: they're bad, and especially Agains Tarvar. We got to put

1388
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: him in the dirt again because I don't need to

1389
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: hear that conversation after the Mets are playing well, we

1390
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: should not even be talking about him.

1391
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: Did you see in the broadcast today they flashed his

1392
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 2: stats from before the game against US and after horrendous

1393
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: He's over a twelve VR since we annihilate him on

1394
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 2: the Thursday afternoon.

1395
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: It's it's almost hear me out. It's almost like Matt

1396
00:53:58,880 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: Harvey just isn't good anymore.

1397
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 3: Well as we know, he is not good. Yeah, and

1398
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 3: let's crush him again.

1399
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: Hopefully Taiwan gets back on track, Hopefully Peterson gets back

1400
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: on track. But the Bats gotta stay hot, and let's

1401
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 2: get after this Orioles team, and let's go into next

1402
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 2: weekend series against the Padres. They're gonna be the premier

1403
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: series of this early season. We'll talk much more about

1404
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 2: it next episode. The vibes are gonna be high, They're

1405
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: gonna be much higher after we swoop the Orioles. Let's

1406
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 2: get after it, and the fans are gonna be let

1407
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: back into the stadium.

1408
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: Get vaccinated everybody, because one it's good, it's good for

1409
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 1: you do it, but two you can start going to games.

1410
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: Is because I had the I got vaccinated last week

1411
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not the two weeks yet on you know,

1412
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: this Friday game coming up, so I had to buy

1413
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: a ticket in a non vaccinated section, which is so

1414
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: minuscule now in the stadium. So like me and my

1415
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: dad and his friend are sitting like three point thirty nine,

1416
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: I think. So it's like basically the most center field

1417
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: in left field, if you know what I'm saying. It's

1418
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: like left set actually, just so like it's gonna end

1419
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: up being fine. We got like second row, it's gonna

1420
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: be good. But like there were so many open seasons

1421
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: like seek and some of them like, oh, I can't

1422
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: sit there because it hasn't been two weeks. So go

1423
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: get vaccinates. You can go to games because the atmosphere

1424
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: is gonna be electric, and when Edwin Diz comes out

1425
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: to the trumpets, now everyone's gonna be bumping. It's gonna

1426
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: be sick ed.

1427
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 2: Jacob Grom's gonna handle ball to edwind Ds. The place

1428
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 2: is gonna be in a tizzy. I also want to

1429
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 2: call my shot for the listeners at home. I feel

1430
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 2: like we might get a black jersey debut next weekend, Okay,

1431
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 2: with fans in the stadium, padres national television. I think

1432
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 2: something might happen. I don't know if we actually even

1433
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 2: said we're gonna have black jerseys this year.

1434
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: Steve said it. So here's what's happening is Nike is

1435
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: only rolling out those city jerseys like seven or eight

1436
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: teams this year, and I think the Cubs might be next.

1437
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: And it's like there's there is a schedule that's not public,

1438
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: but it is a scheduled release. So I think the

1439
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: Cubs might be next.

1440
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: That's a city jersey. I figure there's just gonna be

1441
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 2: our alternate like it used to be.

1442
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: No, I think it's gonna end up being a city jersey.

1443
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident.

1444
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 3: I hope not.

1445
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 1: I'd love to get another jersey out of the season

1446
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,720
Speaker 1: because it's I'll pay money, I don't care, but especially

1447
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: when you're spending it. The Mets want to spend money.

1448
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: I will buy your authentic jerseys all day. When the

1449
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: Willpond spent no money, I'm going to China, baby.

1450
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 3: But I'm going that's gonna be a fun SoundBite. I'm

1451
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 3: going to China, baby, Go to China baby.

1452
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: But you guys spend money. I'll go buy your jerseys. Yeah, listen,

1453
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: if I see a black jersey on that Friday night,

1454
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm losing my mind. I'm going ballistic.

1455
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 3: I'm losing my mind on you. It's gonna be a

1456
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 3: freaking awesome, awesome day.

1457
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: Yes, so both both of our dads will be there

1458
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: hanging out and gonna grab drink and center field. I'm

1459
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: sure have a good time and hopefully the Mets win.

1460
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, Padres series that just happened, split it with

1461
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in baseball. Everyone knows it.

1462
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. You can't discount this series

1463
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: at all about the Mets. Whether you think that this

1464
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: team is legit or not, you have to acknowledge that

1465
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: the Mets went into San Diego and gave the Padres

1466
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: a good run for their money. That was non easy series,

1467
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: and that's what the Mets Mets. That's just that's how

1468
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: they are. We've got the pitching to give us a

1469
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: chance when the offense shows up. We're tough to beat,

1470
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: really really.

1471
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 2: Hard, scrappy. We're gritty, We persevere. We have talent, more

1472
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 2: talent coming on the way. McNeil's gonna have a rehab

1473
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 2: assignment about a week or two, which is amazing. News

1474
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 2: team could use him badly. It's only up from here,

1475
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 2: Mets fans, we are ready to take the fuck off.

1476
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: Yes, be happy. Enjoy it. I'm enjoying it. James is

1477
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: enjoying it. You should enjoy it. You're allowed to have

1478
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: fun as a Mets fan. It's okay, we've talked about

1479
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:10,720
Speaker 1: it before.

1480
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 3: Enjoy it.

1481
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to see even some of the negative

1482
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: people on Twitter. They're flipping a lid. KFC Barstool is

1483
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: even on the bandwagon of guys, we're good. Oh my god,

1484
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm done being negative. I think he even put out

1485
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: a tweet the other day that he's blocking people that

1486
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: are gonna be negative about the Mets. That's crazy.

1487
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 3: This is is he blocking colleague?

1488
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: I think it was a shot at Frank the tank

1489
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: because Frank is just intolerable. But anyway, not that we've

1490
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: already ranked about him. Enough, let's wrap up this episode here.

1491
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the Mets enough. We've been so excited.

1492
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we could go for another hour, I'm sure,
