Like we're live in New York. 47 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: There's there's there's people walking among us all the time, 48 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 3: like this is California and stuff, but like Vegas is 49 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 3: not that many other places to go, Like everyone's here, 50 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: like everyone's mixed mosch together is complete, like everyone's around 51 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: each other and that's it. 52 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I mean I'm a little jealous. Vegas is 53 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: Vegas is a fun place. I'm due to go to Vegas. 54 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: I've still never been there as a twenty one year old, 55 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: and it looks like so much fun. So I'm jealous. 56 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll make maybe we'll make a Mets up Boys 57 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: strip out to Vegas in the offseason or something like that. 58 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. But let's go ahead and 59 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: before we talk about the series, just talk about the 60 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: little bit of the all star festivities going on. Of course, 61 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: when you guys are listening to us, on Monday, the 62 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: Home Run Derby will be going on. Pete Alonso comes 63 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: in as the number two seed because it goes by 64 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: current home runs in the season. He comes at the 65 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: number two seed with a first round matchup against Jay 66 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Rod Julio Rodriguez runner up last year, very very good player. 67 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think about Pete's odds and 68 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby this year. 69 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: James, I think that on the way they kind of 70 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: organize the bracket little bit ridiculous because it looks like, 71 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 3: basically the four favorites are one side of bracket and 72 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 3: then the other side of the brackets, Like, I don't know 73 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: what we're gonna get at these guys. Is Pete, it's 74 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: j Rod, and then it's it's Flat and. 75 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: Robert on that one side, yeah, and then the other 76 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: side is Adlee, Robert at Elise and who's the eighth 77 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: person you got this? Uh the adeleast and Randia Roseina 78 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: ROSERAINI he hads it. 79 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: So just the Pete Julio first round matchup that's basically 80 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: feels like kind of like semifinals esque. 81 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: And we saw this too go ahead the head last. 82 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: Year, and I don't know, I mean we see Pee 83 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: Domini home reserves in the past, like he seems very 84 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: locked in for it, very ready for it, going to 85 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: could be the second player ever the win three times. 86 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: I still don't like I say I don't like Pizzadds. 87 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: I love Pizzadd's, but it's. 88 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: Definitely he definitely got a bad draw the first round. 89 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially because if he wins and goes to 90 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: the next round, he might be going up against Vlaguerre 91 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: or Junior, who we know he had that like amazing 92 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: home runnery final in twenty nineteen versus Flatty in Cleveland. Like, 93 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: the path is going to be very, very difficult. But 94 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Pete is one of the best home run Derby competitors 95 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: of all time. I believe he also has the best 96 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: odds if you're looking at that kind of stuff. So 97 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: Pete in the home run Derby, I think she have 98 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: a good chance. He's got a new picture this time too. 99 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: He apparently made a promise to a childhood friend, manager 100 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: coach kind of thing, and the guy called him. I 101 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: was like, hey, you promised me, and Pet's all right, 102 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: let's do it. Send me to Seattle. Let's see how 103 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: he does. I'm rooming for Pete. We need to win. 104 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Be nice to see Pete, like you said, join Ken 105 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: Griffy in Seattle and be the third or the second 106 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: person to ever win three home run Derbys. 107 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: Also correct me if I'm wrong here. 108 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: But Pete and peteza two seed and repairs the one seed, right, Yes, 109 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: and they have the same amount of long runs. 110 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know what the tiebreaker is. Maybe it's 111 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: because it's an American League ballpark and he's in the 112 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: American League. I don't know. 113 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think Pete probably has less plate appearances 114 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: than Robert as well. Like that, and this difference between 115 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 3: the two seed and the one seed in this tournament, 116 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: like is is pretty huge right now, that's a shame. 117 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: Don't count out Adlie. I know everybody's counting out Adlie. 118 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: Nobody thinks he's gonna be able to do it. Don't 119 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: count him out. He's a Pacific Northwest guy. He's back home. 120 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: It could be big for him, getting those home hometown 121 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: vibes a little bit. 122 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: It's so bizarre having a catcher in the O Like 123 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 3: that's the craziest thing. Like I don't even recall every 124 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 3: catcher making it far, at least in our lifetimes. 125 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: No, I think it's it's been it's been a minute, 126 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: and being a lefty I think is like John saying 127 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: in the chat, a little bit of a tough, tough 128 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: thing in Seattle. It's not it's not great there, but 129 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes, like you said, wishing the 130 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: best repeat, hoping he wins it out there. It's also 131 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: gonna be in the All Star Game, which would be Tuesday, 132 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: along with Coode I Sanga who got announced well earlier 133 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: this week as a first time All Star, filling in 134 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: as a replacement for guys who just cannot be in 135 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: it because they pitched this weekend. So shout out to 136 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: Code I Sanga, super super excited for him. We talked 137 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: about it in the last episode. How good he has 138 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: been this season. I think he's top ten in the 139 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: National League, where he maybe even Baseball and Era amongst 140 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: starting pitchers. Very much deserving quietly to be on the 141 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: All Star team. 142 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, like sham on us for going through code 143 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: Ice season and all his amazing stats and how good 144 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: he has been, especially compared to other pitchers in the 145 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: National League. Literally last episode that was all the six 146 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: as before he was needed to the All Star team, 147 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 3: and neither of us like putting the connection together in 148 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: our brains like, oh, Code's Anger should go and be 149 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: an All Star, but no, incredibly deserving coming off his 150 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: best start of the year. If like that always helps 151 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: as well, just a rookie being named to the All 152 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: Star team. We now, of course it's a little different 153 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: in being a rookie, but it's it's it's gets amazing, 154 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: like such a great accolade for a guy as he 155 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: transitions to a new new team, new city, new country, 156 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: like new new game of baseball. Basically he's being played 157 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 3: and he's just excelled so much so quigly No. 158 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: It's been awesome and it gave us good vibes going 159 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: into the series with the Padres. Game one, of course, 160 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: Verlander ver Starvish. We got to see our arch nemmesis 161 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: on the mound because every time we seemingly face you, Darvish, 162 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: he just absolutely shoves. This game was interesting. It started 163 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: off a little bit of a little rocky there, with 164 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: a two to one lead for the Padres after the 165 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: first but Verlander ended up like kind of just settling 166 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: in and doing that justin Verlander thing where it's like, oh, 167 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: you see, he's a really good pitcher. Guy won the 168 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: Cy Young last year. 169 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 3: It's it was funny because going into this game, you're like, 170 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 3: all right, it's Verlander or Darvish, Like this's gonna be 171 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: like you get ready for a classic pitchers duel, Like 172 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 3: really again, for one, it's gonna be tough together run 173 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: and then it was two one after the first sitting, 174 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 3: I think it was like three to three after it 175 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: was the fourth to the fifth. 176 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: That's a lindorhome run. 177 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: But Lander did have it was it was tough for 178 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: those first three innings that were that was a slog. 179 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: That was really he labored through that. 180 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: But then he didn't allow a hit after the third 181 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: inning and got through six and I gave up two runs, 182 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: Like that's really good. But then you watch Verlander starff 183 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: to start this year, you do feel like that fastball 184 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: is still lacking that roof that were used to seeing 185 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: Justin Verlander have. 186 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: Of course his career, Man and. 187 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: Machado Trent Grisham's RBI doubles both came off of Verlander's fastball. 188 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: It just got two whists on seventeen swings again, and 189 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: I kind of want to keep contextualizing, like how much 190 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: different Ferlander's fastball in the strikes one is this year 191 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 3: compared to last year's. I'm talking about his zone contact 192 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: right a lot on the show on Erdlander Fastballs, it 193 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: was ninety two percent by the padres on Friday. Even 194 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: that means ninety two percent of the fastballs that they 195 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: swung at in the zone they hit against Justseph Berlin, 196 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: it's a really high number. That's something ninety percent on 197 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 3: the season Forland fastball. It was eighty seven percent last year. 198 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: Just to compare just differently, to talk about a different 199 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: pitcher from a different era, that was seventy four percent 200 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, when that fastball is still really hight height 201 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: of his powers, and that's ninety percent of Verlander, like 202 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: I said before, and league average and as eighty four percent. 203 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: So right now, justin Verlander, just based on that context, 204 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: has a more hit thea ble fastball in the zone 205 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: than a lot of other pictures said dead league average, 206 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: which that that's something that he's leaned on forever we've 207 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: seen him. They'll make a lot of good adjustments this year, 208 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: throwing more sliders, more curve balls. He really leaned on 209 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: both of those pitches Friday night. They really helped him 210 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: get through those last few winnings because again, he's just 211 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: not getting swings and missiles in that fastball. And this 212 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 3: was another sorry where I think Justin Verlander might have 213 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: started to make a bit of an adjustment with this new 214 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: fastball now where he had more arm side run on 215 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: that pitch than any start he's had on that fastball 216 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: than any other start he's had this year's far and 217 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 3: armside run is like, basically, when I'm throwing the pitch, 218 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 3: it's going like away from where like the my natural 219 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: slow of my arm's going to go towards the arm side. 220 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: So if I'm a right handed pitcher and I'm throwing 221 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 3: the ball with armside run and it starts down the middle, 222 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: it will end up a little bit. It'll start at 223 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: inside to a right handed yes, inside to a right 224 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: handed batter, away from a left hand that's it. And 225 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: he's beginning a little bit more, a little bit more 226 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: his last few starts, And you kind of looked at 227 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: the heat maps of where he was throwing his fastball 228 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 3: at this start, and a lot of it more was 229 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: low and away, especially to right handed batters very often. 230 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: Justin Verlander had really just like drawing everything high high fastball, 231 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 3: because that's that's the recipe. 232 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: That's how it was. Fastball. I had the most life 233 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: and got the most wings and. 234 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: Misses, but didn't really challenge as many people up in 235 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: the zone this star, especially relative to get his career 236 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: and his first couple of months this season. So maybe 237 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 3: that's the adjustment of Justin ver Lander's making get more 238 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 3: that run on it, not gonna get the carried in 239 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 3: the hot botit and try and get some more weak 240 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 3: contact called strikes. 241 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I mean you could see those adjustments for 242 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: sure in the game. And I saw something on Twitter 243 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: earlier today about how sliders are being hit more often 244 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: than they have been recently, like for better success rates 245 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: as well, and it felt like Kurt Verlander was really 246 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: going to that curveball on it was very effective in 247 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: this game, which is just something that you see from 248 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: a veteran pitcher finding what's working, finding what's not, making 249 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: those adjustments mid game. And like you said, it may 250 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: have been his best start by any means, but he 251 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: did enough to keep us very much in this game, 252 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: which is exactly what we needed. Because the bats. The 253 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: bats were swinging it well in this one. 254 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: It was. 255 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: It was a fun game to watch. It was fun 256 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: to watch Mets baseball this past week. 257 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: It was, but it was also like it was in 258 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: It was in sections like we got to three to 259 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: three after Lindor homer vocal back single that sat three. 260 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: To three for a really long time, remember them. 261 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: Mother got a huge out of Snando tattoos in the 262 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: eighth inning after Sogo hit the double. Then we challenged 263 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: the ninth low the base that just couldn't break through, 264 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: and then got to finally tenth inning, after like an 265 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: hour and a half, no runs. 266 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: Being score just completely broke up. 267 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: Beautiful rally, hardy order, Jeff had a double, Alvarez hit 268 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: a single, then Lindor got the last one in It was. 269 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 3: It was a very good game for yes, in the 270 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: middle of a very good week for the Franciscos. 271 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean talking about the Franciscos again. Let's talk 272 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: about Francisco Lindoor because I know we were bringing up 273 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: the All Star thing. This is gonna be the last 274 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: time we get to really just moan and groan about it. 275 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: But the fact that Francisco Lindor is not an All 276 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: Star is absolute poppy cock. It's crazy. I mean, you 277 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: look at the guy's numbers this year and he's just 278 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: casually just really good again. Like he had a little 279 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: bit of a slow start, we know that, but since 280 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: that slow starting, specifically since you know, some stuff had 281 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: been going on since that Cardinals game, Francisco Lindor has 282 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: just been absolutely on fire. The guy has been crushing it. 283 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: He's got his ops all the way up to eight hundred. 284 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: He keeps getting hits, extra base hits, getting on base more, 285 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: raising that average. Is just the guy that you'll want again, 286 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: say it all the time.

He's just so good. 332 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: Four it's in this game on four hard hit balls. 333 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: And it was just like he and we talked about 334 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: this when he was struggling when he first came up, 335 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 3: where it's like you can just kind of feel when 336 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 3: Francisco is like feeling himself based in his selectivity of pitches, 337 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 3: Like he's not just the vibe, yeah, because he is 338 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 3: so aggressive, but he has to like he's really commanding 339 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: the strike zone, commanding the plate like kind of owning 340 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: the batter's box. 341 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: You can see the difference in. 342 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 3: The confidence levels when he is hitting like that and 343 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: just completely it's like honesty. I'd love to talk to 344 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 3: him about this because I feel like part of it, 345 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: I rememberen we interviewed him way back when it was 346 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: about like his own pitch recognition as a hitter, that 347 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: it takes from what he does behind the play as 348 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 3: a catcher, just understanding sequence, saying trying to kind of 349 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: get ahead of the pitcher what they're gonna throw on next, 350 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 3: and just feasting on the mistakes. Like it's at twenty 351 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 3: one years old still, because remember Grass, he's twenty ways 352 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: Old's the youngest. He's the youngest every day catcher in 353 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball in thirty years. 354 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: Just to get gout. 355 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 3: They could put that out there a single episode. It's 356 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 3: it's it's like scary, see what the potential he has. 357 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's a freak. He also after Game two, 358 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: which I know I'm jumping ahead a little bit here, 359 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: but after Game two is now second among twenty one 360 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: year old catchers are younger for home runs in a season. 361 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: Only got to catch Johnny Bench and so I'm pretty 362 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: good pace. I think he might pass him based on 363 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: how he's been swinging the bat lately. So super excited 364 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: to see that those guys are playing well. Unfortunately, though, 365 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: that would be the last win of the series. The 366 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: win streak ended at six. Truthfully, how nervous were you getting? 367 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna have to eat a full pizza. 368 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: I wasn't nervous at all. I was super excited. 369 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I was gonna be like, no, I was excited. Yeah, 370 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: I was just nervous. 371 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: I didn't care. I don't care. 372 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: I like, well, the most worts is gonn happen. I 373 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: gust'ma out of comission for two or three days. That 374 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: would have suck. It would have been awful. But it's okay. 375 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: It happens again for a tenen game win streak. I'll 376 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: play it down again. Messy is heng game winster coming 377 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: out of the break. 378 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: I will do a pizza again. 379 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: You don't have to go in forward, you don't have 380 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: to do it. But the Mets ever win ten games 381 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: in a row, I'll break the glue into tolerance. 382 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: I will eat pizza. 383 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: I'll definitely do something else. But I think I might 384 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: like back away from Darry just Crohn's. I'm doing so well, 385 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: Like we're knocking on what over here? I don't I 386 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: don't want to really get a flare up going here, 387 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: and the dairy might be doing that. The doctors were 388 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: calling me. The doctors were listening. They're like, Mark, please 389 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: don't eat dairy, please, like you've been doing so well. 390 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 3: The listeners are most of the doctors. Actually, Mark's mom 391 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: was really scared. He's gonna have to eat. 392 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: He was very nervous. 393 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: More if you don't want his stomach to earn. But 394 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: winning Street would end on Saturday night. Also, just talk 395 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: a little more about Vegas. I watched this game from 396 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 3: the stadium swim at circa Ooh. It was like I 397 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 3: can't even comprehend how cool of experience this was. Didn't 398 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 3: we weirdly meet the guy who like ran that? 399 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: Like one night? Where were we out? I don't even remember. 400 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: Was that Arizona? 401 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: It might even Miami. 402 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know we met the guy who like 403 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: runs it? But yeah, did you talk to him? Did 404 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: you meet him? 405 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: Or no? 406 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: No? It is just like you have like twelve massive 407 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: screens on the roof of a hotel in Las Vegas, 408 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 3: inside of a pool, like with a bar, and it's 409 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: like we sat there for seven hours, I would and eventually, 410 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: because all the baseball ended late when the UFC main 411 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 3: card came on, the Mets game was the only they're 412 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: playing besides UFC. The two TVs dedicated to the Mets 413 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: flagging big Ufcity in the middle. It was like, my 414 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: friends were like, this is like a dream come true. 415 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: I was like, I don't even like UFC. I got 416 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: the Mets on two massive screens outdoors. This is a 417 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: dream come true. But that was cool, and it just 418 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: had a nice view of getting a nice ten watching 419 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 3: Blake Snell just completely run through the Mets. The guy's 420 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: been a pure buzz saw this summer. He does this 421 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 3: like for three months a year basically, and you just 422 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 3: kind of hope you find him on the outside of it, 423 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 3: not on the inside of it, because he's on the 424 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 3: inside of it. 425 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: He's literally one of the best players in baseball. 426 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: Mess only go one hit against Blake Snell at six innings, 427 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: also struck him out eleven times versus only three walks. 428 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 3: That one hit was a total worm burner. Bien Mo 429 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 3: it just hit it hard, but it was really just 430 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 3: like all that could possibly be as a single. Usually 431 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: the thing that kind of holds Blake Snell back is 432 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: kind of navigating his pitch mix around, like kind of 433 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 3: not having the best control for like guys who could 434 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: be considered eight at a slight potential sometimes but seven 435 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 3: west or the mess of the change up set on 436 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 3: Saturday night mostly sad. 437 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: The game when that pitch all year. 438 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: I take a big reason for this because he sat 439 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 3: ninety seven miles now with his fastball, which is the 440 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: highest average fastball loss he's had any start this year, 441 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: and that is broken from his last start, so his 442 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 3: last two stars now Blake SNeW keeps getting high and 443 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: higher acts loss. He's he's freaky, like he he gets 444 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: like such a weird rap because I feel like the 445 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: guy he is, like just even how he looks and 446 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: sounds and some of the sound bites he's put out there. 447 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 3: But like the fact that he has those two breaking balls, 448 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 3: the curveball in the slide that go on different planes 449 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 3: and the changeup that has like when is the fastball's 450 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: working like this, like the twelve thirteen mile an hour difference, 451 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 3: because he does throw ninety seven miles now from the 452 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 3: left side with crazy extension. It's like if he was 453 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 3: just like not Blake Snell. We look at Blakes now 454 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: every single year like a guy who's like next up 455 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 3: to be one of the next pitchers in baseball, and 456 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 3: he was just like casually in the Young conversation this year, 457 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 3: like very casually, like one of the three best options 458 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 3: right now, he like could really be to savor of 459 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 3: the another two weeks because every single Stark he goes 460 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 3: out and does this. He was crushed by the Boston 461 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: Red Sox on May nineteenth of this year, and it 462 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: was one of he's all Blake Snell not doing it 463 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: again was like almost five at the time, six weeks 464 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 3: into the season. 465 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 2: Since then, he's. 466 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 3: Given up four earned runs fifty three innings, which is 467 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: good for zero point six to eight er right, and 468 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: a forty one percent strikeer rate over fifty over fifty 469 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 3: three innings. 470 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's pretty sick. I mean, like and like 471 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: you said, yes, the offense like didn't hit, but you 472 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: like you ran into a bus all like you said, 473 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: like Blake Snell right now over the last sixty innings 474 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: or whatever it is, fifty three is the best pitcher 475 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: in all of baseball, So it's like, what exactly are 476 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: you going to do?

He's just a 487 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: full kitchen sink as Satura today through all five of 488 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 3: his pitches at least eleven percent of the time and 489 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 3: sound ten told the whists on it and kept the 490 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 3: padres really at bay basically the entire game, like similar 491 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 3: to Apple the Scherzer on Ed Rolander. It was a 492 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: best start and then just really settled in. It got 493 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 3: good ten twelve. The wests were really nice, and six 494 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 3: of those ten came up his slider's curveball, which weirdly 495 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 3: his two us throwing pitches, So I think there is again, 496 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: there's always a sill of it was gonna be a 497 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 3: little bit of tinker here and maybe push those up 498 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 3: in a couple less fastballs and sinkers and just use 499 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 3: them all, just completely used all banana peel, get your 500 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 3: pitches moving everywhere. 501 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: Some of the work with another good step in the 502 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: right direction. 503 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: Peterson, Yeah, no, I mean I feel like he was 504 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: catching a lot of heat early on Twitter, Like he 505 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: gave up that kind of fluke three run home run 506 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: to Matt Batton, which like was a good pitch. The 507 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: guy like kind of just like lunged at it, kind 508 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: of flicked his wrists and he went out to left field. 509 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: But besides like that one pitch and the guys that 510 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: got on before him all got on with a little 511 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: flukey hits two. It was like Pearson was catching a 512 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: lot of flak for absolutely no reason. He pitched a 513 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: very very solid game. We say this all the time. 514 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: Gave us an opportunity to win against someone who was 515 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: pitching like an ace. So three runs over the five 516 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: innings or five innings or whatever they threw like very 517 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: very like you said something to work on strong Star 518 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: from Peterson. I think he is really improved upon what 519 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: we saw from the beginning the year. Give a little 520 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: shout to John's guy here. Grant Hartwig had looked good 521 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: as well going into Game two, staying hot on the mound. 522 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: The Alvarez home run, which is so funny. As soon 523 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: as Blake Snell came out of the game, they put 524 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: in Luis Garcia bang home run immediately gave us some life, 525 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: but the Potters bullpen shut us down. Hater was discussing 526 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: in the ninth inning, when that guy's on, it's impossible. Uh, 527 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: and that's just kind of the way it was. You 528 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: lose win, shriek is over, but you have a chance 529 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: to win the series going into Game three. We didn't 530 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: do it. We didn't do it. I mean, Surezer was inconsistent. 531 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: He looked good, he looked bad. He looked good, he 532 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: looked bad. It was a little bit all over the place. 533 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: No, it's checkling hide sure how it's been for the 534 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 3: last year. I was I was explaining to one of 535 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 3: my friends I was with this morning, like some of 536 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: this crew a big baseball guy, especially my boy Ross, 537 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 3: but a lot of them really aren't huge baseball guys. 538 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 3: So they're like, oh, I don't pay attention to baseball, Like, 539 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: tell me what has happened to Max Schurz there, And 540 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 3: I'm like, well, like the big thing has happened to Max. 541 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: Sure's where it's been just like up and down season 542 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 3: because explain the fact that like winter spring training, made 543 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 3: a start, got hurt, rehab, came back, made a start, 544 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: got spend it, and that took us the middle of May. 545 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: So Max shows are still kind of see like I 546 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 3: know it is July, so it's like not really like 547 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 3: early season anymore. Before him, it's still like he's played 548 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 3: basically half so it's up and down, and like there 549 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 3: was a lot of good in this start again, like 550 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 3: the wists like were good his fastball but had a 551 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: lot more life again seven whists of that pitch and 552 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 3: four with the curve ball. Fifteen was overall for seven 553 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 3: strikeouts of five and which is a good number. That 554 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 3: sial for padres seam doesn't a strike out of ton 555 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 3: but but the slider is still just not really like perfect. 556 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: He can't locate exactly how. 557 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: We're used to doing it. 558 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 3: The child rushed one the first Eddy that hung red 559 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: Olvers in the middle plate and man who try to 560 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 3: hit it out and looked like he was very happy 561 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 3: to do it, and then he just he kicked. He 562 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 3: kept fallowing it in between like a little too far 563 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: off the plate and then getting a little bit too 564 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: much played. So it's either getting sold off or put 565 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 3: in play or they just weren't offering at it, and 566 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 3: it's that kind of in between. It's that like inch 567 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 3: and a half in either direction, which is like that's 568 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 3: just a little bit where that pitch is missing right now, 569 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 3: and why he's just being this guy who is maybe 570 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 3: right now like ten to fifteen percent better in the 571 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,239 Speaker 3: league average, right and the guy was all last year 572 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 3: who was a sign No, yeah. 573 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Like it's it's unfortunately we would would 574 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: have preferred him to pitch better obviously, but the also 575 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: didn't really show up for this one. Just Joe Musgrove 576 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: had his way with us again. I mean, there's no 577 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: there's no way around it. Yeah, I mean, if you're 578 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: watching the YouTube video, you might clo something here or there, 579 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: but there's just like he didn't score, he didn't score. 580 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: It was off to a weird start too. There was 581 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: like that weird fly ball and foul territory in the 582 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: first inning where Brett Baty looked like he caught the ball, 583 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: but the umpire called that it hit the net. And 584 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: then when you challenge it, you can't really tell if 585 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: it does or doesn't hit the net because it might 586 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: have hit it too high up to where a camera 587 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: physically isn't so you just can't overturn it. And then 588 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: the next pitcher, two pitches later, line drive down the 589 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: left field, Tommy fam hurts his groin on a throw 590 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: trying to throw it back into the field. He comes 591 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: out of the game, Markana comes in. By the way, 592 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: Markanna continues to play good baseball, another double with two RBIs. 593 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: Get this guy in the line up more often, But yeah, 594 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: it was just like it's unfortunate. At least we're going 595 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: into the All Star break here, so there's gonna be 596 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: an extended period of rest for a guy like Tommy 597 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: Fam to get back. Feels like just a good little 598 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: break for the Mets in general, get their mind back, 599 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: get going, get ready for a hot second half hopefully, 600 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: because of course, there's still a lot of work to do. 601 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: There's still a lot of ground to make up. Gotta 602 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: be fighting for the wild card right now as the 603 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: realistic or the most realistic way to get into the playoffs. 604 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: She's gotta played better baseball in the second half. I 605 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: think it's that simple. Finish the second half, I think 606 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: strong relatively speaking, Like we said, this last week was good. 607 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: This was good Mets baseball. This is what we'd expect 608 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: from the team all season long. You're gonna lose a 609 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: couple of games here and there, especially like the Blake 610 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: Snell one, but overall, I think playing better baseball going 611 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: into the All Star break. Just continue on it in 612 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: the second half. 613 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. That also, Snell's been really taking the headlines. 614 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: But Joe Muskove also over his last eight starts as 615 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: an era right hovering around two, he's been lights out 616 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: also after a bad like first month to a season 617 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 3: that was even a month and a half late because 618 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: he had that broken toe I think from a weightlifting 619 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 3: accident spring training. Yes, and then we did have like 620 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 3: chances to score against Day though, like second hitting two 621 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 3: men on Alviretz, Charplie hit ball at double play, and 622 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: then we have basically loaded in the fourth and d 623 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 3: just threw with Alvarez ball strike outs off pitches from 624 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: Blake Snell, like you had your opportunities. It's just about 625 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 3: like getting that time they hit, getting that time they hit. 626 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 3: And that's the big difference this team. Like for most 627 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 3: of this week though, they were getting that hit and 628 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 3: that was a nice place to be. But you got 629 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 3: you can kind of see like it is kind of 630 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 3: became like a microcosm for the first half just the 631 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 3: wait it this week and because like you came in 632 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: so hot, you've won that huge game Friday night, it 633 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: was very land around the bump off Darbush. 634 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: It has been like a boogey man to the Mets. 635 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: You're like, all right, let's split against these tube subpitchers' 636 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 3: still shirts around Sunday with both series of year against 637 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 3: the Padres and you go in the second half sealing 638 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: really good. Now you just go in the second half 639 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 3: still ceiling, kind of that kind of okay, still like 640 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: that little bit disappointment that creeps back in and you know, 641 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 3: six teams another five hundred sixteen behind the Phillies, who 642 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: I think have that wild could that last wildcard spot 643 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 3: right now? Like it's not possible, It's not even close 644 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 3: to impossible. It's like just got you just not playing 645 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 3: loga baseball and this team is two. 646 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, gotta start winning more games than you lose. 647 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: You keep doing that, keep winning series. As we go 648 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: throughout the second half, the Mets will be able to 649 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: find themselves in a much better place competing for a 650 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: wildcard card spot, which is totally in the realm of possibility. 651 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean this is a weird episode 652 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: because of course we have nothing to preview. We do 653 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: have something to preview. I lied because estimate for the 654 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: first half is over.
