1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: What is Up?

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: Up Podcast. More spring training games, more interesting things to

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: talk about. We've got a lot of young Mets pitching

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: prospects who made some spring training appearances and were really impressive.

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: Blade Tidwell, Brandon sprote Dom Hammill even got on the

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: mound for a little bit. All of them had really

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: impressive outings. We saw a little bit more of Wan Soda,

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 2: we saw a little bit more of this team. We

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: saw Clay Holmes pitch again, which I mean raven about

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes on this podcast. It's going to be the

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: Clay Homes Podcast for sure. It's gonna be a very

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: pitching dense episode. Of course, the past like three or

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 2: four days as well, the Mets haven't had a ton

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: of stackcast data, so a lot of it is gonna

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: be box score reading because there also wasn't a lot

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: of film of a lot of these games either, which

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: is super annoying. But there's a lot of good things

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: to talk about. So as always, if you guys are

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,320

24
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: we were both back in New York since your hiatus

25
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: of being in the country.

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: How's it feel to be back?

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, literally since like the middle of January, but feels good.

28
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: Happy to be back. First weekend back in New York

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: was really nice. I know you were just in Vegas,

30
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: which also seemed like it was pretty fun. But so

31
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: frustrating that since the Lord's Year of twenty twenty five,

32
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 4: we can't get either stack cast or video or the

33
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 4: TV broadcast on these spring training games. We're watching journalists

34
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 4: take videos from the mezzanine and then we're checking out

35
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: MLB dot com Game Day. Its annying because there's so

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 4: much to garner from these games. A few games that

37
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: did have stack cast really excited about it, even I

38
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: don't know if you saw it, because again, you were away.

39
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell was tweeting like, man, can we get more

40
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: of these Spring training games on TV?

41
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: It's like everyone.

42
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell just wants to watch Blaye Tedwell or Raphael

43
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: ta or take it like the rest of us.

44
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: But I really want to start with Blaye Tedwell, bring

45
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: it there because he.

46
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: Did something on Saturday that a few people have done

47
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: in the history of baseball that start in immaculate inning.

48
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: I know that it might not count because the spring

49
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 4: training Blaye Tedwill also came off the mound set himself

50
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: with didn'count to the journalists, But.

51
00:01:59,320 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't give a shit.

52
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: He gives all against major league hillers like he looked incredible. Again,

53
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: I say he looked incredible from the videos from the

54
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: mezzanine from the journalists, But in Maculin, ing is immaculine.

55
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: You threw three you get three strikeouts and nine pitches

56
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: three major league hitherers that he should garner a live attention.

57
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Jeff Passon tweeted about it.

58
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: He had to make the adjustment because Game Day originally

59
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: scored it as an immaculate inning on nine pitches, nine

60
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: swinging strikes and the strikeout. That would have been like

61
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: generational type stuff. That's you should play the lottery if

62
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: you do that. But yeah, getting Eloy him and his

63
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: Jose Caballerio and Josh lo out in that order for

64
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: an immaculate I think extremely impressive.

65
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: Josh Love is a really good baseball player.

66
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: Cabaliro and Eloyer are now kind of more four A

67
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: guys trying to make rosters play every single day type thing.

68
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: But Josh Love is a really good ballplayer.

69
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: And for Blade, who's a guy that has very much

70
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: been a fringe prospect right now as to what his

71
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: future could be, it's still up in the air whether

72
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: or not he is going to be a true starting

73
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: pitcher moving forward. Maybe he's a guy who's better off

74
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: in the bullpen. But these are all things that just

75
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: again for the pitching Lab, for Jeremy Hefner, Eric Aegers

76
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: once again showing off how they can just improve players

77
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 2: and make them even better. And it's not that Blade

78
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: wasn't you know, I think he was what a second

79
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: round pick by the Mets a couple of years ago.

80
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: So he's a guy with some hype around him coming

81
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: out of Tennessee SEC School. But they just continue to

82
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: make these guys better and better. And it seems like

83
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: the more time you spend around Jeremy Hefner, the better

84
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: you become as a pitcher, because everything he touches turns

85
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: the gold seemingly.

86
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: It's also funny becausehen Blade came off the mound. He

87
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: said he didn't even realize he threw a tomaculate ning.

88
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: He's like, I was just focused on executing and I

89
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 4: was a cool struck out the side.

90
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 3: That was nice.

91
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 4: But Mendoza and Hefner said they immediately knew exactly what happened,

92
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 4: right what happened and told him, which is funny. Also

93
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 4: love that he finished all three of these strikeouts in

94
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: the immaculate inning with three different pitches. The first one

95
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: to low was a gyro slider right below the zone.

96
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: After you're getting two called strikes, and then are two

97
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: pitches in the zone all if they were both called

98
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: strikes not because again we can't trust game day because

99
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: we don't really know. And then second one was ninety

100
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: nine mile on hour fastball up in the zone. And

101
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: then he ended the last one with a sweeper. And

102
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: he's talked about this offseason that he really wanted to

103
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: cut down his repertoire, which is funny because he still

104
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: has five pitches in the repertoire. Five pitches he showed

105
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: so far as spring training, and that's the four seam fastball,

106
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: the sinker, the gyro slide, like the little tight little

107
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: side that just drops down a little.

108
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: Bit, big sweeper and change up.

109
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: Last year he threw all of those, but he also

110
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: had a color and a curve ball. Through the color

111
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: a good bit, the curve ball not so much, and

112
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: they said those two are out right now. This year

113
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: he's going to focus on those five. So he wants

114
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: to master those five before expanding to more, which again

115
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: is funny because like he's like, I want to cut

116
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: down my repertoire to five pitches that it'd be one

117
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: of like as a big repertoire ninety percent of major

118
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 4: league starting pitches anyway, and he's like, yeah, this is

119
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: me like really trying to simplify my game.

120
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: And this is the thing that always excited me about

121
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: Blade is that fastball and we've only really seen it

122
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 2: in these small samples when he hasn't gone deep into games,

123
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: that he can get that fastball up to ninety eight

124
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: ninety nine miles an hour, And that was that made

125
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: me so excited about him when the Mets took him

126
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: in the second round a couple of years ago. Was

127
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: because at Tennessee he was kind of in that similar

128
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: role where he wasn't always making these long starts, but

129
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: every time he got into the game, he had the

130
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: ability to flash some top end stuff, throwing near one

131
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. That slider really good with a

132
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: nice change up. So I'm glad that we're starting to

133
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: see it come together a little bit, especially because we

134
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: do know that there might be a way at some

135
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: point for these guys, and we're going to talk about

136
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: a few more prospects to get some appearances at the

137
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: major league level this year. The Mets have a ton

138
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: of Triple A guys ending the year. Last year there

139
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: that can be major league pitchers this year. We haven't

140
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: seen that in a really long time in the Mets organization.

141
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: And it's cool to see a guy like Blade Tidwell,

142
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 2: who was homegrown for all intensive purposes. He's only been

143
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: a part of this organization to see where he's come

144
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: and now turned into a solid little pitcher so far.

145
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: Besides David Peters and Tyler McGill, who's the last homegrowl

146
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: Mets pitcher to make an impact in the major league team.

147
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 4: I might get a bood though too, But like truth,

148
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: who's the last one to make like forty.

149
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: Major league starts? Like Robert Gselman.

150
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: Do you think he made forty forty might be the

151
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: live for him and Lugo because before then it's literally

152
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 4: Wheeler and Matts.

153
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: I think it is gonna be gase Elman.

154
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: It's just it's amazing to say, well, do we call

155
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 4: Lugo as like one of those I just had him too,

156
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: But I'm getting I think I'm gonna put my life.

157
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: By the way, who's the last?

158
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: Who's the last?

159
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: Homegrowl Mets Pitcher and the forty stars to the team?

160
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: Are we forgetting somebody? Could there?

161
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: Could there be someone? I'm gonna let you keep talking

162
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: about pitching. I'm gonna try to look up this answer here,

163
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: so I do exactly.

164
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: I truly think it's Steven Masts, but check me on that.

165
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 4: But it's also interesting just to go expand more and

166
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: Tidwell's outing because there where he did throw two winnings

167
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 4: and overall two winnings, he struck out five of six

168
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 4: big league hitherers he faced, and again there's no stack ass,

169
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: there's no broadcast, so it's just like we can't really

170
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: identify that much. But like you said, the velocity for

171
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 4: him taking up is a huge deal, and again so

172
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 4: probably also approved command.

173
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: But this is a huge deal.

174
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 4: I don't think you get amacl ending with back command.

175
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: But we also saw last start he did some stackcast day.

176
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: Then again the velocity playing up kind of elevates all

177
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: of his pitches. It kind of pushed him to be this,

178
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: this kind of I don't want to say world be there,

179
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: but pushes be this really really much more effective pitcher

180
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 4: in these short sample addings.

181
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: And then he goes back to the five six enting played.

182
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 4: We see the fastball dip down ninety four to ninety five,

183
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: but still subpar shapes and he's not the same guy.

184
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: So I just wonder if there's something in between, if

185
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: we can keep working on his velocity, maybe just get

186
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: stronger and maybe elevate that velosity for longer outings, or

187
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 4: if the future for Blade ted well for will be

188
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: the most effective pitcher possible is someone who pitched a

189
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 4: short the time. Maybe someone again we're seeing Max Cranick

190
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: right now also be like ferociously dominant in these two

191
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: innings that were really good. And so again I wonder,

192
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: like Met's have been talking this here and doesn't mention

193
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: specifically that you might see some piggyback guys on some

194
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: mouthings like I wonder if this is something that might

195
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: happen towards the middle of the spring, late late early

196
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: early summer, late spring where I say late spring, like

197
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 4: may not like late spring training where Clay Holmes starts

198
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 4: a game and he goes four innings, the Max Crannick

199
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: or Blade tied will come in for two because they're

200
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: in the Major League rosso Like, I wonder if that's

201
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: the future of how we combat all these injuries early

202
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: part of the seasons. I think it's really really possible.

203
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 4: Like Blade just has to be if he can gas

204
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: that fastball, he's he's good automatically, but if he's not

205
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: gassing that fastball, he really just has to find the

206
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: consistency with his with his other pitches.

207
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: Get that slyly ready to go the slide.

208
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: And the sweep or sometimes blend together the change ups nice,

209
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: but just get them, get those pitches to all be individuals,

210
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: and then just have enough fastball to get by. Guys,

211
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: there's this there's something here. It's weird to see you, guys, squint,

212
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: but there's really really something nice here.

213
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: I feel like he's one of those guys too, where

214
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: I and the reason I liked him so much was

215
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: just watching him pitch. I was like, I think there's

216
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: I think there's a really good picture here somewhere, Like

217
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: the stuff is too good visually from what we see

218
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: on the TV. Dive into the numbers, obviously it looks

219
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: a little bit different. Also, going back to that Mets

220
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: homegrown pitcher, technically it's Jacob de Gram the last guy.

221
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, like that's that's not true. No,

222
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: the last one to pitch for the New York Mets.

223
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Like most mass didn't make forty starts as a Met. No,

224
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: he did, but he's not more recent on the Mets

225
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: than Jake de Grom Jake grogranm was on the team

226
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two.

227
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: What, yeah, you know, I guess I mean, I mean,

228
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 4: I mean, the last one to make get their forty

229
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: starts after coming up. Yeah, that's last one to make

230
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: forty starts.

231
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: Okay. I was just to say, yeah, it's good it's

232
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: Stephen Mats. Then it's either him or Wheeling.

233
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: Basically, yeah, that's so ridiculous, but still like that's that's

234
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: kind of what we're playing with now, And we have

235
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: said for like, I guess a couple of years on

236
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: this podcast. Now, it seems like the last couple of

237
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 4: months now hopefully run the pres spae of this new

238
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: era of Mets pitching finally contributing to.

239
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: What's going to happen to the major league level.

240
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 4: I feel like that maybe why the Mets are a

241
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: little bit chiller than most people would expect after the

242
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 4: two of their horses went down early in spring. And

243
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: it looks ugly now, but especially if tedwell, and now

244
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: I want to move on to to Brandon Spro. Like

245
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: watching Brandon sproat Friday afternoon, it's really good, so unquestionably

246
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 4: major league pitcher in my mass Like there's no there's

247
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: no way.

248
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: Like it was just he was sick.

249
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 4: It was awesome, Like brands Pro was pitching really well.

250
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: Wance so hiknoposive field home run. It was fifty five

251
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: and sunny in New York, like everything everything you kind

252
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: of started everything, your brain like kind of kind of

253
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 4: dusting off and happened melting down once again.

254
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: But six up, six down, five ground balls, one strikeout.

255
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: Just he just looked awesome.

256
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 4: He looks so ready, looks so I won'st say like

257
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: polished yet, he's just he's very much a major ly

258
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: capable picture.

259
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: It seems obvious.

260
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: I think it's like a makeup thing with him, and

261
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of like what we saw in the Spring Breakout.

262
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: Obviously is going up against better competition in these games,

263
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 2: but in the Spring Breakout last year, one of the

264
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: things that we talked about was just he steps on

265
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: the mound.

266
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: He has a bit of a presence. He has a

267
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: bit of like I'm I'm the guy on the mound.

268
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: There's like a quiet confidence with him that leads you

269
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: to feel more confident because he has the really good

270
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: stuff behind it, so you feel like the mental side

271
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: of there is good along.

272
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: With the physical.

273
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: That fastball he threw to Robert Hassle that he blew

274
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: by him, that's going all over Twitter. I mean that

275
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: thing was electric. I see that alone.

276
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, this guy's got to make an open, you know,

277
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 3: make the opening day roster. At this point, it almost

278
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: feels like that.

279
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: Should be probably more possible than the buzz that's actually

280
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 4: generating because this is twenty four year old who dominated

281
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: Double A last year.

282
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know what, like how much else is

283
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: there really to prove?

284
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: Like, I know, how much better could he be at

285
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: Triple A like does is is there that much growth

286
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 2: that he could have still by being at triple A

287
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: for another five to ten starts.

288
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe someone could.

289
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: Tell us that maybe this maybe because just to get

290
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: that two seamer to the right spot that really wants

291
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: to be because that was something that was really prevalent

292
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: s having. That's something I specifically was watching for that

293
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 4: new sinker that he's been throwing, because that's a new

294
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: thing is repertorire this year. His fast forcing fastball always

295
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: kind of has more of a two seam shape. It

296
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: has more run than wright on it, which means it

297
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: kind of moves more side to side than like that

298
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 4: that a rising action is gonna go over somebody's bat.

299
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 4: It's also because Sproke kind of has like a three

300
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 4: quarter of the release, so that's kind of whey that

301
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: pitcher moves. So having that two seamer that can differentiate

302
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 4: from the four seamer or the four scenamer re acts

303
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: like a two seam, the two seamer like the sinker,

304
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 4: that's import for him, especially against right handed batters, to

305
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: give guys those different wrinkles. And the first three times

306
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 4: he threw that two seamer out fried that he got

307
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: a ground ball every single time. One was against James Wood.

308
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 4: Then Ahmed Rosario smoked one like one ten, but it

309
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: was just like he it felt like that was a

310
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 4: really good weapon for him when he got into accounts

311
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: kind of just to avoid damage, let that bad end

312
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: throw that two seam or let someone bang into the

313
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 4: ground and they kind of just walk out of their unskatee.

314
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: That seems like to be more of the pitcher brands.

315
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: Sprot's going to be hopefully going to get a lot

316
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 4: of like five inning, three strikeout, one walk games with

317
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: Wonder and run because there's me a lot of ground balls,

318
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 4: a lot of velosities.

319
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: It's not very easily square him up or barrel them up.

320
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's going to be every one

321
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: of those guys with that like twenty five to thirty

322
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: percent k RD at the major league level. Maybe in

323
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: an absolute peak season, but it seems like he's going

324
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: to be very much a guy that limits hard contact

325
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: balls in play that are just low probability for good

326
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: outcome from the opposing team, and he can just give

327
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: you some length.

328
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

329
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: He seems like also he's a big, strong kid too,

330
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: and that's something that all these guys that the Mets

331
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: are now, it feels like they're all big, strong dudes.

332
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's an OX.

333
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 4: He's also hanging out with Doc good in the at

334
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 4: camp the other day, which thought was really really cool

335
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 4: those two Hays together.

336
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: Also, that was funny.

337
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 4: And I tweeted this like spros twenty four right now, Yeah,

338
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: and we're like, Wow, this guy is such a good

339
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 4: pitching prospect. Do you guys know what Doc Gooden had

340
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 4: already done by the time he was twenty four years

341
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 4: old with the New York Mets, because it's completely disgusting,

342
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: read it out, tell the people. When he was twenty four,

343
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: Doctor had thrown twelve hundred innings the major league level

344
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: with a bunch in the playoffs, he did a ninety

345
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 4: one and thirty five record either two sixty ra over

346
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 4: thirty two wins above replacement. He had won the Rookie

347
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: of the Year. He had a top five MVP finish,

348
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: he was a four time All Star twenty four years old,

349
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: he'd won a Say Young Award, and he'd won a

350
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 4: World Series at twenty four years old, brands Broo's not

351
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 4: throwing a major like any yet. Not take anything away

352
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: from Brandons probe, but just like just to get the

353
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: context of how much of a freak dot Gun was.

354
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: It's just completely fucking ridiculous.

355
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: But that's broke.

356
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: The sweepers great, the changeups great. That Sinker's a nice wrinkle,

357
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: Like it's just this is it? Like he seems like

358
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 4: just such a guy. That's another reason to expand upon that.

359
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: Why the Mets seems so chill about the pitching depth

360
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: right now. I think they're like, yeah, we know we

361
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 4: have sprote for an easy one hundred, one hundred and

362
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 4: twenty hundred thirty the innings the major legue level. If

363
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: he proves he's ready to do that, Like that's it

364
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: seems like that's just something they're going forward acknowledging.

365
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: At ft FAM collectors, there is a new better way

Speaker 2: Yes, and you have Blade Teddell behind him, and then

386
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: you might have Max Crank too, who we briefly talked about,

387
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: who seems like he has a really good chance to

388
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 2: make the roster coming out of spring training. Just the

389
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 2: stuff that he's shown has been so impressive. I know

390
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: that he might not be like a guy that you

391
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 2: was talking about, like in the Rotation for the Future

392
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: or anything like that, but in the present time, the

393
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 2: way that we see Max Kranic being used and how

394
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: teams are getting more creative with how they use guys.

395
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 2: He would be an amazing, amazing piggyback guy for Clay Homes,

396
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 2: for maybe EVENKODEI sender early on the year.

397
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: It's almost getting so good him, Like why can can

398
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 3: you start like you just do it? Can he just

399
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: be a startling pitcher?

400
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: He started in the past, he was startling in the minors,

401
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: he was starting with the Pirates. It's like this stuff

402
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: is so electric that I feel like because he's different

403
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: than Blade in a sense of like, oh, he's so

404
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: electric in these short samples of loss he's playing up.

405
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: We're Blade.

406
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: He needs a velossit because the fastball shapes are kind

407
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: of pedestrian or whatever. Cranic, the shapes are amazing. So

408
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: even if velocity comes down, I think the shapes can

409
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: still elevate those pitches. It's still being plus even if

410
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: they come down again another few takes. If he's throwing

411
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: five or six innings at a time, because this one

412
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: he got the two winnings again and two strikeouts, no

413
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: base runner. His fastball slide, they's sweep or curveball. Everything

414
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: looked really good, Like I always know that the guys

415
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: are starting to leave the Mets sphere in the Mets universe,

416
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 4: when the fancy baseball people start talking about them, when

417
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: my Discord chats start blowing up and I see people

418
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 4: on toilet being like, wow, Max Cratick, maybe he could

419
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: be someone who gets like in the deep fancy things

420
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: like one hundred innings, the three something out ready for

421
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: the Mets this year, get some wins, cheap wins. But

422
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: that also he looks that good where he could do that,

423
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: Like it's something that's happening right now.

424
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: We should definitely be taking notice. Yeah.

425
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: No, I think the Mets Twitter world for sure is

426
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: at least taking notice. And I feel like everybody likes

427
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: Max crantic too, even more because grew up a Mets fan.

428
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: How could you not want this guy to do well?

429
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: Yes, he's a ticket holder. David Red with David Red

430
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 4: was his favorite players. Also, he's a unicorn. Like I

431
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: talked about the fastball having the rising action, why you

432
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: can play play up even velocity comes down. His sliders

433
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 4: have rising action too. They're really really strange and unique. Yeah,

434
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 4: that's what gets them so good.

435
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: There. I don't want to say it's like deceptor has.

436
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: Basically it's an action that doesn't even make any sense.

437
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, watch some videos of it, because it looks like

438
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: kind of gets up on guys.

439
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: It's like a lifty sweeper. It's very strange.

440
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 4: But that's because when I saw Isac Groffin tweeted about

441
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 4: Someone's I forgot I see his name, someone shiny app

442
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: they made about where a pitch is expected to go

443
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 4: based on the movement, the arm angle and the velocity

444
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: of the pitch, and then where Krantics pitches wind up

445
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: and Crantics pitches are always higher than where they always

446
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: seem to be. So that's kind of playing with the

447
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 4: hitler's minds in their eyes, that's how he's getting this freak.

448
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: Freaking moveing and freaky stuff.

449
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: But like it's it's so impressive how slide the Mets

450
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: were with kind of bringing him along last year, added

451
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: to the forty man roster as the playoffs were beginning.

452
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: He was technically on the playoff roster for I think

453
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: the series against the Brewers, I think he was on

454
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: the roster and.

455
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: We talked about the time.

456
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 4: We're like, it's Max trying to get a pitch in

457
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: this series, but I think it was just the Mets

458
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: wanting to get him on the forty man roster before

459
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: the offseason chaos, and that was just like he's everyone

460
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 4: Tacomo heally, everyone's talking about him being legit bullpen piece

461
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: this year, and I'm just I think he's somewhat again

462
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: that the Mets are really comfortable lying on for eighty two,

463
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: one hundred innings, that they're really excited about.

464
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is really good.

465
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: And then I guess the last name that you guys

466
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: are probably familiar with in terms of like the pitching

467
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: prospect world for the Mets, Dom Hammill. I don't know

468
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: if we can really call him a prospect anymore. I

469
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: think he's like twenty six years old now. But he's

470
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: looked pretty good in the spring, and we've saw him

471
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: pitch in the championship game against Somerset Patriots two years ago,

472
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: and we were really impressed with the breaking ball stuff.

473
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: It was always like, could the fastball be legit? And

474
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: it seems like the fastball might have gotten better because

475
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: the breaking balls are still nasty.

476
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: Fastball, I think got a lot better.

477
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: All all this stuff plus US spring training people, pitch

478
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 4: profile or tj our Boy TJ stats. Fastball looks great.

479
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: He's got high iv B almost twenty. He's got good

480
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: life on a high release point like he looks like

481
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 4: a guy who's there. The sweeper is still gross. He

482
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 4: has a change up in color look acceptable. Now, those

483
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: are two pitches he's been working on developing. He was

484
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 4: unblocked in the rule five drafts and no one claimed him.

485
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 4: And he just again three innings nowhere and runs three

486
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: strikeouts on Sunday.

487
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: He's been good this spring. I don't know.

488
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: Maybe he's another guy that haven't really just gave any

489
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 4: desire to use him in any capacity yet at all.

490
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: He's just good throwing so many innings in the upper minors.

491
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: I wonder what they think about him. But the fact

492
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 4: that we can see him in the spring, this stuff

493
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 4: looks good. I'm encouraged by that.

494
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 3: Why not, right, he's surely got to be a bullpen

495
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: guy though, moving forward? I think, right, that's probably where

496
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: he's best, I guess.

497
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 4: But then, why why does he spend so much time

498
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: last few years He's still working on that change up

499
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 4: in that color in spring training.

500
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: That's a good point. He made a very fair point.

501
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: Why maybe they go you could be even better if

502
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: you have all these pitches.

503
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: Something that's kind of gross, But a lot of major

504
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 4: league teams are doing now, and I think the Mets

505
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 4: might be probably with David Stearns the Helm beginning to

506
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: fall into this category.

507
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: A lot of people get upset.

508
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 4: When teams don't call their prospects up soon enough, like

509
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 4: get this guy out, get this guy up, gets the gup.

510
00:17:59,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: He's ready to go.

511
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: But for a team, they know they have six years

512
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: of control and a player whenever they call them up,

513
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 4: so it always makes sense for them unless this player

514
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: is a freak of nature, dominant.

515
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 3: Psycho, help you win right now.

516
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 4: That's saying to wait until the guy's twenty four to

517
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 4: twenty five, twenty six years old. They guy like dom Hamill,

518
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 4: like Blade, like brand sprote and then you have kind

519
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: of just taken the whole pitcher's prime for freaking year.

520
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: So again it's it's kind of ugly. The Orioles are

521
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 3: famous for this.

522
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: They will wait until the guys has gray hair to

523
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: call him up to the major leagues, like Adlie Rushman.

524
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: Heston Kerstaed, like Kobe Mayos.

525
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 4: Still he's been the lead prospect for what three years,

526
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: now and he's still not gonna get called up like

527
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 4: they just do. Joey Ortiz was a twenty five year

528
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 4: old prospect that got traded for Corbyn Burns. Like they

529
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: just these teams who are kind of on the cutting edge.

530
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: They know that they get a lot more at these prospects,

531
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 4: and they're able to hold them through their entire late

532
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 4: twenties and kind of completely encapsulate their prime while they're

533
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: making no money.

534
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 3: It's so fucked up, but like that's what these teams

535
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: are doing it.

536
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 4: Maybe that's like part of the idea was some of

537
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 4: these mess pitching prospects, like let them get as much

538
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: seasoning as possible, let them come to the major leagues

539
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: when they're literally ready to be like players near the

540
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: peaks of their careers physically, and then just let them

541
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 4: roll from there.

542
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: Super fucked up.

543
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: Takes a lot of ur any potential away from these

544
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: young men. But I think that's where a lot of

545
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 4: these major league organizations are going down. I think that's

546
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 4: probably what the Mets are doing with some of these

547
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 4: pitching guys. Definitely, No, and then the last pitching prospect

548
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 4: we want to talk about is Luis Moreno. Yeah, okay, okay,

549
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: I mean six strekouts to end the game on Friday,

550
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 4: that's pretty insane.

551
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

552
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: It was like half watchings. All the backups were in.

553
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: I was like doing some work on my computer and

554
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 4: he just came in. Six strates, six tray shrecouts, one

555
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: hundred percent wifts of the sweepers. They were crazy and

556
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 4: like they weren't really that consistent. The pitch was definitely

557
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 4: gross because some of them were moving here and some

558
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 4: of them were going here, and some of them were

559
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 4: backing up over there. But guys just kept swinging through.

560
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: Every single guy swunging through it like definitely inconsistent. But

561
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 4: if you get if you get one hundred percent wiffra

562
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 4: in your primary pitch, which the sweeper was primary pitch,

563
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 4: because the other stuff's also kind of nuts me even more.

564
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: Nothing a sweeper, I'll take that really good looking at him, yeah, no,

565
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: of course.

566
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: And then the last thing before we start talking about

567
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: Clay homes here, we're so back. I mentioned Jose Irania.

568
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: What in December, I was like, what about Jose Raania?

569
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: The Mets went out and signed him. That's that that's insane.

570
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: There's no reason the Mets should have ever signed him.

571
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: No, I mean, but this is this is sadly the

572
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 4: end of those a can town of dream. Probably someone

573
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 4: else goes down this week, not on wood. But like

574
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 4: Jose Rainy is the classic rubber arm. You just he's

575
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: not gonna be very good, but he's going to be

576
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 4: aither pitch anytime you ever need him. One hundred innings

577
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 4: last year, one hundred. The fun story with him always

578
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 4: Ronda Kunya and him hate each other. Braves absolutely hate him.

579
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 4: Interesting with his brother.

580
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: That's another thing to bring up there is that this

581
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: is the guy who was throwing at Luis an Hellicuni

582
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: his brother on purpose many times over.

583
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 3: And no, Rea, it was like five years ago, I

584
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: was old. That's old.

585
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: Had but a shadowed Nick Pollock from Pitcherless. But he

586
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 4: used to do is a daily ribes and your annual

587
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 4: was starting somehow every fifth day from the Marlins Marlin.

588
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

589
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: He always used to make his little puns that he

590
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 4: loved so much. He was like, if you're starting, Jose

591
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 4: Uranie all out of trouble. Nice, nice, that's very Nick

592
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 4: nailed it, absolutely nailed it. He's just he's just the

593
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: classic rubber arm guy who has a fastball above average velocity.

594
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: So that's just he's gonna show up seventy five innings,

595
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: four four yst.

596
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: Of the people like two three quick minutes about how

597
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 2: great Clay Holmes looked again, because I'm really starting to

598
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: drink the kool aid here.

599
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 4: It's getting crazy. This is another one where it's getting

600
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: hot and fancy baseball circles. He's rising up to like

601
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 4: the top one, especially because he's gottas.

602
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: Relief pitcher eligibility probably in most leagues.

603
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 4: Right, that's really big for like our our ESPN leagues,

604
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 4: but even I'm saying the guys in the high stakes leagues,

605
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 4: the big money. Laterally the NFBC, he's going like in

606
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: the side the top two hundred, like around the top

607
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: one fifty, the top forty fifty starting pitcher.

608
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: Like it's getting to be that ridiculous.

609
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 4: I mean, through show of the innings against an Astros

610
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 4: lionp that had mostly big leaguers, You're done Alvarez, Like,

611
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 4: you got your on Alvarez out twice in three innings,

612
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: and that's a lefty that's huge. One of them was

613
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: a four hundred twelve foot flat ball. But those things matter.

614
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: We're not kind of car guy. The ball was caught,

615
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. But like him just becoming this five

616
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: pitch guy steamingly overnight is ridiculous, Like it doesn't make

617
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 4: any sense. Like Yankees had to be looking at a

618
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 4: rabb be like what the what the fuck, Like how

619
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 4: in the world has just happened. I know he has

620
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 4: his old bitch and coordinated DECI Jochelle with us now

621
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 4: with the Mets, but like it's crazy, like the fact

622
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: that he's out there with a slytherer a sweeper, a

623
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 4: four seemer, two seamer, the kick.

624
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: I think fire is ridiculous.

625
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: That's it, Like that's that's a full blown starter right now.

626
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: But I will I got through a little bit of

627
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: cold water on the I gotta do it.

628
00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pack stuff.

629
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they stuff like the it's I mentioned last

630
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: time that the big thing for Clay Holmes to watch

631
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: was velocity.

632
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: He had the two winning outing. It was thirty pitches.

633
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 4: I was like he got to ninety seven. His averages

634
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: were over ninety five, Like that's huge.

635
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: If he's there, he's elite.

636
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: This was a forty two pitch outing three innings and

637
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: the vlass he ticked down a little bit, got to

638
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 4: ninety six, but he sat ninety four and you could

639
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 4: see the stuff readings really come down that sinker in

640
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 4: that fastball, and they're ninety four miles an hour, especially

641
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 4: when the singers be ninety nine out of the bullpen.

642
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: If he really wants to be like nasty nasty, like

643
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 4: a legitimate good, like good starter, he has to keep

644
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: those above ninety four. And that's as low as I

645
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 4: think they can go over him to be like a

646
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: three starter, which is where I kind of want him

647
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 4: to be, which I think where the Mets team might

648
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: need him to be in the early part of the season. Yeah,

649
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 4: so I'm going to get check too. Yeah, it's great

650
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 4: he checks. So I'm just saying that they're a low

651
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: cold waller right now. He needs that ninety four. The

652
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 4: fact that he was only ninety four for forty two

653
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 4: pitches makes me think this will be more like ninety

654
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 4: two and a half ninety three and a half when

655
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 4: he gets to seventy eighty pitches, and that that will

656
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 4: be more of like the back end star that was

657
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 4: predicted the whole time, rather than this guy who's like

658
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 4: wow cold, Clay Holmes be starting like the second or

659
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: third game of the year, so just the devil's advocate.

660
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 4: It throws them cold while they're on it, like keeping

661
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 4: everything realistic here but just.

662
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: But also it's so pumped and excited. Yeah, freaking out.

663
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 3: Mean I was freaking out last week, So I just

664
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 3: seeing that it was like, that's new information.

665
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: Want to take down to consideration and keep an eye

666
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 4: on as next start because I'm sure he's gonna get

667
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: the fifty to sixty pitches soon, So just keep an

668
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: eye on those fastball GLOSSI radings. We definitely will be

669
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: I definitely will be. Yeah, I know you guys at

670
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: home will definitely be as well.

671
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 3: So some keep an eye on.

672
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite things to do on baseball

673
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: savon at the end of every single day, just like

674
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: look up the guys who've like taken the hardest wings,

675
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: hit the ball the hardest, who's thrown the hardest swings

676
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: and misses. That's fun stuff about spring training. I quite

677
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: literally don't care if the ball was hitting to the ground,

678
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: hitting the air, if you swung and missed. Sebastian Walcott

679
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: is eighteen years old and hit a ball one hundred

680
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: and fifteen miles an hour today.

681
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable.

682
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: Now there's some eighteen year olds in this country that

683
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 4: are playing with metal bats and hit the ball close

684
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 4: to that heart ever in their entire life.

685
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: Spatsian Walcott is an eighteen year.

686
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: Old for the book Bats, which completely fucking ridiculous discussing.

687
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: I would do that on Twiter too. I'm just picking

688
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: like a random mess dude every single day and say

689
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 4: it's some cool than spring training. I've gotten Evan your

690
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: boy Evan Rifford so far. We wonder you're gonna give

691
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 4: my boy Halverson some love. I was gonna give him

692
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: some love the other day I did that day, I

693
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 4: did Augustine Ramirez because he got to one fifteen or so.

694
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: That was nice.

695
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 4: I did landing rope one day. I did land ropes

696
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 4: like one of those weird stretchers. Yeah, yeah, which is weird,

697
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 4: weird stuff. Walcot's gonna get the love tomorrow. But it's

698
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 4: for spring training. So much fun for this stuff. Like,

699
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 4: I don't care about stats about batting average, I barely

700
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: care about home runs. I want to how hard you

701
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: hit the ball, how hard you swung if you have

702
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: new pitches or they're moving differently, that's it.

703
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 3: That's the best.

704
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 2: No, totally, I'm with you on that last bit of

705
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: pitching stuff. We got some updates on Code I Sanga

706
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: as well. One inning on Monday against the Marlins, So

707
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: when you guys are listening to us, he will be

708
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: throwing his first inning of the spring, which is good

709
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: because we need him so badly.

710
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: So you need him to be healthy. We need him

711
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 3: to be back.

712
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: I don't need him to be ace ready on April first,

713
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: that doesn't matter to me. We need him at his

714
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 2: sharpest by the end of the season because he really

715
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: does change what this pitching staff looks like moving forward.

716
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: He can't overstate how important he is to this team

717
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 4: right now without Manaiamanti. It's it's kind of scary how

718
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 4: important he is given her last season. Why they're all horrifying.

719
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 4: But I just keep remembering that one Friday, that one

720
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: Friday evening I was against the Braves or Phillies Brave

721
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 4: when he heard himself in the same game, because he

722
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: was just dominant the whole game. By the way, I

723
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 4: know a lot of people, I feel like we're giving

724
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: code I crap at the end of the year for

725
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: not stepping up in the playoffs and like not pitching

726
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 4: that well, he won a game. That game, get that

727
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 4: he won against the Braves literally got us in the playoffs.

728
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: If you think about good point, good point, good point,

729
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 4: and pitch really won in the first game against the Phillies.

730
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: That elevated us to winning that series.

731
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 4: Like you'll win that first game against the Phillies, everything

732
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: might be different, but Cod Cod that is great. And

733
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: he's gonna throw mornings Head in the backfield, so he's

734
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: gonna throw one inning in the game and then just

735
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 4: go to the backfield for city game to finish it.

736
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: So I'm sure he'll get up to thirty forty pitches

737
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 4: in that but so so so so so damn Bourant

738
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: and that one started last year he was really really good.

739
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 4: So we're hoping that's just it all. It all comes

740
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 4: back together. Then a couple of the pieces of news,

741
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 4: just some hitting stuff to go buy. I know, about

742
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 4: five minutes ago, two minutes ago, I said, I don't

743
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: really care about any spring training result, but I'm gonna

744
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: care about Bret Bayes a little bit because they're really good.

745
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 3: That's it.

746
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 4: Mister March is happy as Brebey's time officially and he's

747
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 4: still been hitting. He had another home running the single

748
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: of Shae McLanahan. He's a fun The fun piece of

749
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: information by Buddy Rob on Twitter. Bret Bay's had thirteen

750
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 4: played the appearances against major league pitchers this spring. People

751
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: always only but he's only hitting the minor league patchers

752
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 4: as classic quadruple a baby thirteen play appearance against major

753
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 4: league pitchers four seventeen for sixty two seven to sixty

754
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 4: triple slash.

755
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 3: That's a twelve hundred ops.

756
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: I want him to succeed so badly, not because not

757
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 2: only just because it helps the Mets, and not only

758
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: because we've been big Brett Baty guys from the start.

759
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: But there's a weird conglomerate of Mets fans now who

760
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: are just like doing the whole classic Brett Baty can

761
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: only hit in the spring for a player type thing,

762
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: like why are we not wanting this guy to live

763
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 2: up to the potential that he once had. I don't

764
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: get the like rooting against him. It helps the Mets

765
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: roster so much. If he's much crazy, he elevates everything

766
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 2: so much. Another lefty bad another guy wh complaying and

767
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: plays defensively today against the Reds god like diving the

768
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: line good.

769
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: He's become an amazing defenders.

770
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 4: A lot of crowds to him, even though the hitting

771
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: hasn't progressed as much as we hoped it would by

772
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: this age, he's progressive being a fantastic defender at their amazing.

773
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 4: He's basically become not all the way there, but he's

774
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 4: kind of like Cabrian Hayzeshkabrian Hayes guy has also always disappointing.

775
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 4: But if you can be almost the league average hit

776
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 4: and play an amazing defensive third base on most teams,

777
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 4: you will start. Not on teams the world serious aspirations

778
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 4: like the Mets, but most teams you will start Brett Bady.

779
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 4: It's nicely as a little step, but also that infield

780
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 4: spot is fully up for grabs because this official Nick

781
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: Madrigal is going to be out for the year with

782
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 4: the fracture shoulder, which sucks for him. I don't know

783
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: how the pay structure works if you get injured in

784
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: spring training. I don't know if he's just seen the

785
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 4: major league guy, That's what I'm saying. So if he

786
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: would have gotten injured on March thirtieth on the major

787
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: League team, he gets a full year in major league salary.

788
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 4: I have no idea what how his NAK magical.

789
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: Now I wonder if technically the metsican put him on

790
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 2: the major league roster and then put him on the sixty.

791
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: Ail so he gets paid major league salary. Would be

792
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: cool if it did. It'd be nice to do that.

793
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 4: But it's interesting to see between baby Donovan, Walton, louis

794
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 4: An Helicunya and Ryan Marissio, who I don't think is

795
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 4: anywhere close being consideration and starts season with this team.

796
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: But apparently they announced that he's going to the plans

797
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 4: to playing games before the end of spring training, which

798
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: I think is so huge for ani mass development.

799
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 3: Because he's in.

800
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: Games the end of spring training, they can start the

801
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: year triple A ready to go, and then one month,

802
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 4: two month, maybe three months, three months ramp up time

803
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 4: till he can also be competing for this utility infield spot.

804
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

805
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he's another guy too where we shouldn't rush him.

806
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: But whatever he's ready, he could really really help this

807
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: team a lot too, just such a he has such

808
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: high I don't want to say ceiling because that makes

809
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: it sound like he could be like an MVP type player,

810
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: but he has the ability to do things that a

811
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: lot of baseball players can't do, and that's something that

812
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: the Mets don't have a lot of. So that's a

813
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: player that could do some make some loud noises for

814
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: this team at least.

815
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, in terms of physical tools, there's not many players

816
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 4: in the Mess roster who have what running Riso has.

817
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 4: That being said, in terms of hard baseball skills, and

818
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 4: still they're still not really there. So definitely not all

819
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: the time to see.

820
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 3: That I did the boy rob people furious, It was

821
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: exactly It was the full intention.

822
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: It worked out, worked like a charm, but not The

823
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: intention wasn't rage bating. But I just knew that the

824
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 4: Mess fans love Ryan Rasio, and I'm like, I don't

825
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: think it's not good, but our boy, Robbie Hyde fell territory,

826
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 4: family marks, YouTube homing. He made this cool chart for

827
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: the Red Sox of like all these lines and all

828
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 4: these boxes for great player, love by fans, average player,

829
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 4: and bad player, and the categories were they getting great, average,

830
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: bad and loved.

831
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: By fans fans?

832
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 4: If I hated by fans and I put Ryan Marisio

833
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: in the bad player love by fans, and I got

834
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: one hundred replies in the mess community about how ridiculous

835
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 4: I was saying Ryan Riso is bad. My point is

836
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: that he's going to be bad. I literally said in

837
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: the tweet that this is for twenty twenty five only, No,

838
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five only. I would be shocked if in

839
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 4: like two hundred play appearance, Ronan Reso even had three hundred.

840
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: One base percent That's my only point that was it.

841
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: If you don't have a three hundred one base percentage,

842
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 4: you don't play really good defense preiomposition, you're not really

843
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 4: that good baseball player. Right now, he can be a

844
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: good baseball player. I think he can be a very

845
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: good defensive player a second or third. I think he's

846
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 4: gonna have a shit ton of pop. I don't know

847
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: if he's ever gonna take a walk. I don't know

848
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: if he's ever gonna be able to have any play display.

849
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 4: I don't know that. But yeah, that's still a good

850
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 4: baseball player of this peak. But right now I don't

851
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 4: know what he can be. I think a lot of

852
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 4: Bets fans are like, wow, remember he hit that ball

853
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: super hard one time. We're like that too, But Rynriso

854
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: gets so much love and Bret pay gets so much

855
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 4: hate for very hilariously similar reasons. Oh yeah, no, there's

856
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 4: a complete blind spot when it comes to how we

857
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 4: evaluate either of those guys. Last thing we'll talk about

858
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 4: on the offensive side here before we wrap it up.

859
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: Just another impressive one Soto home run, just hitting an

860
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 4: opposite field against Ogus Sawara for the Nationals.

861
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 3: Right, that's I believe I would say his name. Yeah,

862
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: he just I mean, he's.

863
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: Got such effortless power, it's impressive. I can't I can't

864
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: wait to see like Keith just acting to Wan Soto

865
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: at bats all year long, because we would see it

866
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: when we play them, and he would drool over Wan Soto.

867
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: And he has the famous clip where he's like, he's

868
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: not a home run hit or he's a line drive guy.

869
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: Like when he puts the ball in the opposite field,

870
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: and then he puts one, I think it might be

871
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: one of the furthest balls ever hit an en certy

872
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: field onto the bridge and he's like, all right, never mind,

873
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun to watch those two.

874
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 4: Ronnie was the guy doing this game with a with Gelsey,

875
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 4: which you know, whatever, But Ban so did that amazing

876
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 4: thing in this at bat, which we've seen forever from

877
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: the other side, and now seeing it up close for

878
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 4: our team, like it really made look giddy.

879
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: Gave me a little shake.

880
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 4: Where he fouled the pitch off fastball in the inside half,

881
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: and he looked the picture and he gave a little smirk,

882
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 4: the little shit eating grin. I was like, oh my god,

883
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: what does he know? And he got back in the

884
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: box and then he went with it a fastball the

885
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: other way, just crushed it opposit if another opposite field

886
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 4: home run out of Clover Park, and then he just

887
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: went around the base. I was like, I can't believe

888
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 4: this real, Liken, this guy's going to be on our

889
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 4: team officially. So fucking sick, sick, so sick it's crazy.

890
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 4: Got anything else to talk about here?

891
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: Or are we done? One little stupid story?

892
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 4: Also, but Anthony Dicomo said that Brandon has become a

893
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 4: green tea and Macha guy, and could I sang is

894
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: really impressed by it?

895
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: Interesting? I do not like macha at all.

896
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 4: I don't need to think matic kind of stinks. I mean,

897
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 4: apparently there's good macha, bad macha. I've been told from

898
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: a friend who's a Macha person. But every time I've

899
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 4: had it's just like kind of grainy.

900
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, super grainy. I feel like it's greeny taste like

901
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: dirt green tea. Arizona Green Tea. That's fantastic.

902
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 4: Not a sponsor, Yeah, that's I mean that that's their

903
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 4: Arizona Green Sea is basically like drinking, So Arizona Green

904
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 4: Sea is like the greatest thing on earth.

905
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: I try.

906
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 4: I try to drink water two a week because it's

907
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 4: in high school. I think I drank one to day.

908
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: It's it's got to cure things.

909
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 4: It's like the most incredible thing I ever. I think

910
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 4: I would baiting if it actually cleaning, but it's it's

911
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 4: one of my favorite things on earth. But also hock creeants.

912
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: I love Hockrey Tea.

913
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 4: But it's funny apparently code. I was like super impressed

914
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 4: that Brandon has been a macha guy.

915
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: Now not non macha guy on this podcast. That's not me,

916
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: No no macha guys here.

917
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: But I mean, this team just seems like they fucking

918
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: love each other and that's so great this time of year.

919
