20
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: What's going on?

21
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: I have I was to the episode earlier in the

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: week from just the Boonies of Colorado doing some hiking

23
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: in the mountains, and now I've been in Denver for

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: the weekend and I'm very much staying in airbnb. That

25
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: is some of these homes, I think they just vacate

26
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: on weekends to use for airbab, which is.

27
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: A pretty good hustle.

28
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: It's a good idea, and it's a really nice neighborhood

29
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: and affordable, so a great place to stay. But as

30
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: you guys can see watching on YouTube from this like

31
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: exotic piece of artwork behind me and this very nice

32
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: prick wall, the very this strange eclectic art here a

33
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: lot of it, and I brought a couple of pieces

34
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: that I haven't shown Mark yet. I want to show

35
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: you guys on YouTube. Too bad podcasting for the listeners,

36
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: but check it out on YouTube.

37
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: This is this is.

38
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: This is one that will lead you in with It's

39
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: kind of cute, interesting, so interesting. Yeah, women with great

40
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: with crazy hair, come to I ever had someone kind

41
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: of succulent. This next thing I'm gonna show you is

42
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: probably one of the more disturbing prints I've ever seen

43
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: in my life.

44
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Okay, well, good for this one. Yeah, I'm ready for it.

45
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Oh is that a back with a face to back

46
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: with a face. It looks like something that would be

47
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: on like that Weird Nick and Night show. Remember that

48
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: show and we were growing up with the with the

49
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: weird characters. I don't remember the tongue. I think it's

50
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: called like a crazy Angry Monsters or something like.

51
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: Something like that yet but I remember now this thing

52
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: is looking at me. I gotta put that picture down

53
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: for the episode. But yeah, strange cool city though cool place.

54
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Went to a New York theme bar last night. I

55
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: have took a picture for the Mets up Instagram with

56
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: the Mets flag. Really nice New York bartenders and they're

57
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: very cool people. But yeah, the series with the Orioles

58
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: was was something. I mean, we told you guys before

59
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: this is basically one of the best teams in base

60
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: part right now, and they definitely looked it.

61
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, And it also helps when James McCann gets

62
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: five RBIs in the first game. I mean, we just

63
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: had to rip the band aid off there and talk

64
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: about that one. It was quite literally the James McCann

65
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: revenge game. You can't make it up. Three for three

66
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: with a walk, five RBIs, stolen base. I mean, yeah,

67
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: James McCann, huh.

68
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 2: No, you really, you really can't make it up going

69
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: into this game on Friday Night. James mccannon ten rbs

70
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: all season and he put up fifty percent of that

71
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: in one game. And a great stat here from a

72
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: game from Sarah Lanx and Michael Meyer. The only two

73
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: catchers to ever have this line against the Mets three hits,

74
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: a walk, five RBIs, and a stolen base are James

75
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: McCann and Travis Darno. Well both times, both times it

76
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: happened that player's first game against their former team.

77
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean, why do you guys, how you gotta do

78
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: that to us? We're down there, we're down feeling bad

79
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: right now. You gotta rub it in with both former metcatchers.

80
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: So isn't it crazy that it happened to both of them?

81
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: It was kind of crazy.

82
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: And this also happened on the heels of an article

83
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: that came out I believe it was Saturday morning from

84
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Newsday where James McCann just kind of kind of tried

85
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: to flame the Mets, and it was that was a

86
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: little frustrating thing too, because they're coming down a week

87
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 2: where a lot of players left the Mets, and most

88
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: players had very positive things to say about the organization

89
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: their time here, and James mccannon said, and we're just

90
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: gonna take some of these quotes here just as exactly

91
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: what they were, that he was not given a chance

92
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: and he didn't get enough credit for guiding the team's

93
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: pitching staff, which I'm like, all right, I guess like

94
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: in one hundred eighty games to the Mets, he was

95
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: had two twenty two eighty two to three twenty eight

96
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: slash line for a seventy WRC plus like that sounds

97
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: like a decent chance. He did say there was a

98
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: point last year where he didn't ever start three games

99
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: in a row, and I get that it was because

100
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: he was statistically one of the worst hitters in baseball

101
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: and they were trying to win some games. Like it

102
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: was he did play good defense. James McCann definitely did

103
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: something to do with the pitching staff playing well. But

104
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: comments like that will always come off as winey, and

105
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: it's a little frustrating on a week where like we

106
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: hear like Erlander and Marcanda like speaks so glowingly about

107
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: their time with the Mets, and and just for James

108
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: McCanns say, come out and say this.

109
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: It just kind of feels like sour grapes.

110
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: Oh it's major sour grapes. But you know what, I

111
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: guess he gets the last laugh here. His team's going

112
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. They look really good, and he had

113
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: probably the best game of his career, arguably on Friday

114
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: Night against the Mets. It wasn't great. It wasn't great.

115
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: There wasn't a whole lot of positives to talk about

116
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: in this one, not really for the whole series either,

117
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: your boy read Garrett Smoke fortunately got smoked against his

118
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: former team. Maybe they had a little something on them

119
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: that they knew and he was.

120
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: He wound up being optioned before Saturday's games to make

121
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: room for Tyler McGill and the Friday's game, like the

122
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: big takeaways that this Orioles team is so deep, like

123
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: this is the kind of line up being like roster

124
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: that I don't know what they're starting pitching is gonna

125
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: look like. In October we saw my got Kyle Brads

126
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: struggled a little bit with the strike zone on Sunday

127
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: and he's probably which is crazy to say probably their

128
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: game one starther if things were clarity now, Oh, Kait,

129
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: Jack forget, I forgot about Jack Flair.

130
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.

131
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: It's a good chance that we're going to talk about

132
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: him a little bit more about Sunday. But Shintaro Fujinami

133
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: just gets back into the rotation. Looks like an ace.

134
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: But like just this to show like how much depth

135
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: this team has. Like Colon Kowser, who was like a

136
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: top a top ten pick in the MB draft, like

137
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: a bona fide top fifty, between top fifty and top

138
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: twenty prospect across baseball. He comes into the game, he

139
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: has a pinch runner for Ryan Hurt, they picked up

140
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 2: off the scrap. Heaps forty percent bet in the league average.

141
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: In the sixth inning, he scores a run, there walks

142
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: it next to his next that bat scores another run.

143
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: Another guy, Jordan Westburg, who was also a first round

144
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: pick a couple of years ago. He would be considered

145
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 2: a very serious prospect for any team in the league.

146
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: Basically good power from the right hand side, decent played discipline,

147
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: has played all over the infield already, Like he just

148
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: rotates in and plays like a few days a week

149
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: and just mixed in. These guys don't stop. They always

150
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: have a good matchup. There's so many position players in

151
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 2: this team they can throw at you. It's a really

152
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: it's a really well built roster.

153
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's something that we've always talked about and like

154
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: stuff that we felt confident coming into the last couple

155
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: of years. You know, with the way that the roster

156
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: was built, was like, hey, there's a lot of good

157
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: players on this team. You're gonna have the ability to

158
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: shift guys, to move guys around, there's no weak spots

159
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: on the roster, whatever it is. And you look at

160
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: all the teams that perform the best in the season,

161
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: we always go back to like that Giants team, and

162
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: even the Giants team right now, who is playing shockingly

163
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: well despite knowing that there's like no good players on

164
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: that team. But like the fact that they're able to

165
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: maximize their roster and use all twenty six of those

166
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: spots to be like productive players for their team is

167
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: super super important. It's something as like a team, a

168
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: fan whatever, you acknowledge that and you realize, like, oh,

169
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: they're doing something right there. They're really being smart about

170
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: how they maximize every single player on this team.

171
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, just using so many players too in a giving game,

172
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: just using every single ball to try and win. And

173
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: guys like Westburg could play all around the infield and

174
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: Kawsu who is like a really good base runner and

175
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: also is great play discipline. They make it a guy

176
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: like Ramonierius who plays every single position in the infield.

177
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: For these guys, even my favorite Tillity man, Adam Frazier

178
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: coming in playing in field, outfield. Just every single guy

179
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: in this roster spot has so many, so many little

180
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: different things they can do to help the team win.

181
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: It's cool and also funny thing.

182
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: I feel like this happens once every baseball season is

183
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: always one guy who does this. And the guy this

184
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: year is Michael Bauman as a reliever who's not even

185
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: having that good of v year.

186
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 3: In the Orioles. Now the nine to zero records.

187
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's insane. I saw that the other night. I

188
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: was like, you know, just checking the box score again,

189
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's got nine wins, He's nine And oh,

190
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I mean, how how does that even happen?

191
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: But you're right, that does happen. Like once a year

192
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: there is a guy who all of a sudden you

193
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: look at the time, got like eleven twelve wins and

194
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: you're a reliever, Like how did this even work? But yeah,

195
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: the Oros have been keeping games close, that offense fights

196
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: back late, Like that's what happens. That's how you get

197
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: a reliever that's nine to o and there's there's really.

198
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: A points we made that he's probably not even one

199
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: of the five best relievers in that bullpen.

200
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: Nope.

201
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: Like Mets fans, we saw Shitaro Fujinami earlier this year

202
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: when he was a member of the Oakland Athletics, who

203
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: probably could there probably couldn't be a more different organization

204
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: than than the Yolkan had likes the baltimor Oiols right now,

205
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: and Fujinami couldn't find the strike zone. His splither had

206
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: no feel for His fastball was like very good, but

207
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: it was completely radic He came in Friday night and

208
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: he was just throwing bebies and you're like whoa. And

209
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: then he came in Sunday. We just talk about it now.

210
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: He almost threw an emaculinning. He threw one hundred and

211
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: three miles an hour, like he like it was. He

212
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: he had Mets swift four times only and he only

213
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: threw nine total pitches. Like he looks like one of

214
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: the absolute surefire best relievers in baseball.

215
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: He's been on this team for less than a month.

216
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's impressive what they've been able to do

217
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: with him and other guys on this team. Felix Bautista

218
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: as we know later in this series too, we got

219
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: to see him a little bit. He's cash money, very

220
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: very good baseball team. Kind of set the tone for

221
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: the entire series here with that game ten to three.

222
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: I believe they lost Game one just very much was like, hey,

223
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: right now, we're the better team than you, and we

224
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: are given it to you. And that's just kind of

225
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: how it was for Game one.

226
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: Definitely, And there was a bit of a mood coming

227
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: out of that game, like feeling it going into this weekend,

228
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: especially after the week so the Mets still have not

229
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: won a game since the trade deadline, and they've been outscored.

230
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: They have a tweet from Will Salmon right here about

231
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: what it is and again this is after the whole series,

232
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: like taking it all together, but where is this?

233
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: Where is this?

234
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: They've been outscored thirty nine to fourteen six games, it's

235
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: bad now where the season worst eleven games below five hundred.

236
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: But before Saturday this game, Steve Cohen sent a leather

237
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: to Whill the season ticket holders, and I think there

238
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: were a lot of good sound bites from this. I

239
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: think it was very I think it was very important

240
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 2: Steve did that because we know how disappointed he's been.

241
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: He's been like absolutely the same tone through and through.

242
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: And he said, you are rightfully disappointed. So are we

243
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: like believe that would you not take your support or

244
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: loyalty for granted? Is your passion that makes it they

245
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: feel such a special place? One hundred percent true, and

246
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: we purchased the team to that twenty The leather was

247
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: pen from him and had him and Alex We said

248
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: that we were doing it for the fans the community.

249
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: Is true then still true today. I still do believe

250
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: him saying that, and that is not what we want

251
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: to be in twenty twenty three. He said that multiple

252
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: times this week, many times, but he's gonna say many

253
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: more times the rest of the season. Our goal is

254
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: to be consistent contender. The only way to do that

255
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: in a sustainable way build the pipeline of high caliber talent.

256
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 2: Our farm system and our fuel major league team for

257
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: years to come. And he did say that we will

258
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: be competing in twenty twenty four. It's not going to

259
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: be like we're gonna like this offseason by as many

260
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: players as humanly possible. It doesn't seem like that. It's

261
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: still not totally impossible though. I mean, we think just

262
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: beat people. Change decisions. Change decisions in the off seas

263
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: are not made in August. But he's nice to see

264
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: him kind of reaffirm the fans say we are going

265
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: to compete in twenty twenty four. We're gonna still try

266
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: to do everything we can and just be like, be

267
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: very personable with the Mets contingency because it's been it's

268
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: been a.

269
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: Rough week for us, and it's super easy for them

270
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: to just not say anything. That's like the really really

271
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: easy route of like hey, you saw trade all these guys.

272
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: That's it, like, well we'll see you, We'll see you around.

273
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: But like for them to come out and say that,

274
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure it feels good for us as Mets fans.

275
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what you guys think at home

276
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: that are listening, Like how do you feel about this

277
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: letter that you get it?

278
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: Like does it.

279
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Does it make you feel a little bit more calm.

280
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: We're a little bit more at ease because we have

281
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: seen Mets Twitter has been a blaze, a blaze since

282
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. It has been just hot take left

283
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: and right about this or that. It's been nuts. It's

284
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: not been a I like met Twitter, but it's not

285
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: been a great place to be hanging out recently over

286
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: the last week or so, and understandably so. Again, I

287
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: haven't won a game since the trade deadline, so I

288
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: can see why people are getting frustrated and upset. I

289
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: think there's no doubt about it. But at the end

290
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: of the day, just got to take a deep breath, relax,

291
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: like just because this season may not be going as plan,

292
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: has no indication of how next season is going to be,

293
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: and we know that there's for sure, like very easy

294
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: ways to improve this roster without a doubt.

295
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: And this was Gary Comb was back on the call

296
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: for this series, and we heard him a lot of comments,

297
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: specifically Sunday, talking about just the way it looked like

298
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: body language to use the term malaise a few times,

299
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: and that's I mean baseball, how like baseball? Why sixty

300
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: percent mental seventy percent mental of a game, Like there's

301
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: so much much that is going on inside these guys head,

302
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: like with like how hard you're competing. And you see

303
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: a game like on Saturday where the top four hitters

304
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: in the Mets order had seven hits and hitters five

305
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: through nine had zero, and you can like it's like,

306
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: how how does sustain that? Like how has stayed that?

307
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: Like it's very difficult. And I think especially at that

308
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: top four in the order fans the Golden Door, Nimo McNeil,

309
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: and Pete, I think they all are doing a very

310
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: good job right now of like holding their heads up

311
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: high yep, you know, speaking saying all the right things

312
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: to the media, still performing well on the field, still

313
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: hitting as much as they possibly can. But just you

314
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: could you can kind of just feel this like again,

315
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: like I think Gary's word is good, Like this malaise

316
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: that's like kind of falling down. And you said in

317
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: the intro like dog this summer right here. But even

318
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: with that, shout out the Mets contingent getting down Baltimore

319
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: this weekend led by the seven Line. Yeah, shout out

320
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: our aren't geny table friends. They were down there as well.

321
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: They the pictures from Pickles look great. Mets fans were everywhere.

322
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: A lot of people were out there having a good time.

323
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: It was a full sellout down there in Camden. I'm

324
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: sure the Mets fans had a ton to do with that.

325
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: And also ballpark great place to watch a game. Yeah,

326
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: we went last year for the three games. Twenty four

327
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: hours was the final spot for my YouTube video. And

328
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: Camden Yards, I mean, easy to get to from New York.

329
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: You hop on the amtrack, it drops you off and

330
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: it's five minute duber ride from there to the stadium.

331
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: It was awesome, friendly people, incredible food at the stadium. Again,

332
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: can't recommend Boog's barbecue enough.

333
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: It was so so good and for you gluten free

334
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: as well, because what his daughter was gluten free was

335
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: the whole story something like that.

336
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Boo Boot Powell, famous power hitter for the

337
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: Great Orioles teams in the late sixties early seventies, either

338
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: him or his daughter's son someone the family is gluten

339
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: free and they have entire dedicated gluten free barbecue station

340
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: with great gluten free bread and a whole different like

341
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 2: staging section. So nothing ever is crossing his Haminde really great.

342
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: And also I remember your videographer that day got the

343
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: crab mac and cheese. Yes, and he used such a

344
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: hilarious word because he didn't really he.

345
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: Just on a hot dog. By the way, this was

346
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: on a hot dog on a hot talk.

347
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: I think he said it was decadent.

348
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: Yes he did.

349
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: I was like, it's just funny, funny, funny to use

350
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: that word describes something on a hot dog.

351
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: But it did look decadent.

352
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: And it's a great It's a great place to watch

353
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: a game down there by the harbor. Pickles, awesome before

354
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: and after, amazing scene. Happy, Happy for the people of Baltimore.

355
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: They're getting this success right now, which is like.

356
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: Who when we went to Pickles last year after the game,

357
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Remember we were talking to like one of the fans.

358
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: Who did he say that he knew or he was

359
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: cousins with?

360
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: He was cousins?

361
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Was it Framburg someone the Astros? Someone? Yeah? But good,

362
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: good group of guys hanging out there, cheap prices, good drinks.

363
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of fun in Baltimore. Wish we

364
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: could have made it out there, but obviously James and

365
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: Colorado basically this weekend as well, a lot going on

366
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: but maybe next year if they're back in Baltimore, will

367
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: be there.

368
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe be nice to go down Be nice to

369
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: go down there for the wildcard route. Maybe depending on

370
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: how that division shakes out, maybe the Alds. But again,

371
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: really cool to see, like how bothering this entire Oriols.

372
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: Team's Gunner Henderson hit the home run off Tyler McGill

373
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: in the first inning, and he went ballistic at home

374
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: plate like screaming the whole teams on the top throw deck,

375
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: high fiving, like you're like wow, like these guys are

376
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: really really really rocking right now. This could be a

377
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 2: situation where like the young team might be peeking a

378
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: little bit early, especially team doesn't really have the starting

379
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: pitchering and the Horses the probably get through October.

380
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: So I hope this Ools rug keeps going. But it's

381
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 3: just there.

382
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: I tried to watch him a lot, I said that

383
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: last episode, just because they are a really fun seem

384
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: really fun lineup, but a lot of amazing ballpen options.

385
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: You guys know how much I love a good a

386
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: good rotation of bullpen arms.

387
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: But it's fun.

388
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: And then get back to the Mets here. Tyler McGill

389
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: did make his return to the major leagues came up

390
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: right before the game, some.

391
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: Good and bad.

392
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: He hit ninety nine miles an hour for the first

393
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: time in a while, So really cool to him reaching

394
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: back to sustanding velocity because how poor that fastball is

395
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: to success. But he did throw a lot of fast balls,

396
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: about sixty six five percent of them, and the orioles

397
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: were on them, a lot of hard hit balls in

398
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: the few winnings he pitched the limited damage though as

399
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: much as he could, like wasn't I wouldn't say this

400
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: was an incredibly negative star for Tyler McGill.

401
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: The velocity.

402
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: I think it was a very big deal though, and

403
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: we'll got some nice runway here to see what he

404
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: can do the rest of the season.

405
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like relatively speaking, I mean, he did miss

406
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: a lot of time last year too with an injury,

407
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: so it's like there's still like that learning curve of

408
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: just like getting back getting comfortable. He's been up and

409
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: down a couple different times this year, so getting back

410
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: into a rhythm I think is one thing that will

411
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: also benefit him as well, which surely he's gonna be

412
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: pitching a lot more this year in that rotation. But

413
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: you say like the big story was that the top

414
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: four guys had the seven hits, and then five through

415
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: nine just couldn't get anything done. Jeff, you mentioned swinging

416
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: the bat well. He also spoke after the game he

417
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: had a home run, three RBIs he's looked a lot

418
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: better over the last like since the trade deadline. Honestly,

419
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been scattering and hits more often,

420
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: looking a little more comfortable. He's like, yeah, I'm just

421
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get back to where we were

422
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: last year. I know this season hasn't been great. We're

423
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: not happy with it, so I'm gonna just try to

424
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: do everything that I can to keep playing well and

425
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, helping this team win. And those are the

426
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: kind of comments that I think, again, as fans like

427
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: you appreciate, like they acknowledge it's not going well, it's

428
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: not right, but like still trying every single day, still

429
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: trying to win games and not tanking, thrown in the

430
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: towel or any of that nonsense.

431
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: No, definitely, you could just feel that Jeff wants to

432
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: at least finished strong for just his own mental state.

433
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: Like he got the contract, I'm sure he felt some

434
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: pressure and he's had all the last couple of years.

435
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: Like it's kind of an alternating good and bad.

436
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: Like a strong, strong finish to the season would really

437
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: probably go a long way because we know he's not

438
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: this bad of a player, and when he's at his best,

439
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: like he is a he's basically the glue guy for

440
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: this roster because he keeps the line of moving. He

441
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: plays second base on in ro outfield, likes a lot.

442
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: It's a lot that he can do and we've seen

443
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: him do it, so just want to see him get

444
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: like very much like, come come back, come back to

445
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: fold here, come back to fold.

446
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Since July twenty first, he's hitting three hundred with

447
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: like a three to fifty on base So like the bats,

448
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: the hits, they're starting to come a little bit more

449
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: consistently for Jeff. Jeff swing the bat better, and he

450
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: talked about he's like, I just need to get back

451
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: to hitting singles, which is funny because on that day

452
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: he hit the home run. But he's like very much like, yeah,

453
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: I know what kind of player I am. I just

454
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: got to, you know, make sure I figure it out.

455
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: But really not too much else. Lindor Nimo Neimo in

456
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: the lineup again, playing well, got double. Lindor has been

457
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: raising that batting average sneaky again. I think he was

458
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: up to like two forty at one point in Game three,

459
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: which I know the most people who are of the

460
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: older generation baseball fans like to forty, What do you

461
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: mean he's getting it up? But like that's that's like

462
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: a very like league average batting average, And of course

463
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: we're not a batting average podcast, but it raises everything.

464
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: And the OPS is hovering right around eight hundred, which

465
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: would be among the best for short stops in Major

466
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: League Baseball this year. Yep.

467
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: And as of the end of the game Sunday, in

468
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: terms of all qualified shortstops and nation the leader, ciscal

469
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: Indor is the highest WRC plus, the highest slugging percentage,

470
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: the most home runs, the most RBIs, the most runs scored,

471
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: and the most doubles. And even in all of baseball,

472
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: he has the fifth most stolen bases of any player.

473
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: It's been cost stealing two or fewer times. So if

474
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: the season ended today, it seemed like fiscal Indoor would

475
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: win another Silver Slugger Award. He's on pace for another

476
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: five win season. A really hot stretch would put it

477
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: back to six wins. It's been another great year. To

478
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: shame that he had a slow start and that put

479
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people off him for some reason this year.

480
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: But if you look at the stats, you look at

481
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: his contribution to the team, and you look at the

482
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: way he's holding himself and as a leader of this

483
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 2: team to the media every single day, answering the questions,

484
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 2: smile on his face, like being positives, same questions every

485
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: single day. He's never just doing every single thing he

486
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: can to be like the face and the image of

487
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: this team. It's probably again it probably gonna win the

488
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: Silver Slugger as well. Like he's it's a cosme professional.

489
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: Very happy we have him on our side.

490
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: Not one hundred per Now let us into Game three

491
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: with Jose Kingtana on the bump and King Tana looked

492
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: good again. I mean glad that he's feeling great, But boy,

493
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: would we have loved to have had him at the

494
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: start of the year too, especially with the way that

495
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: he's pitched and like the first few starts, doesn't met

496
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: He's been awesome.

497
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: I know it has been all time.

498
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: It's just he's such a steadying force that sinker and

499
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: curveball we're great playing off each other or this quak

500
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: one across on that out and I think it was

501
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: Natalie Ushman RBI ground ball, and that was basically it.

502
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: Mets had trouble getting to Kyle Brash, who also had

503
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: trouble finding the strike zone, which I talked about bradsh

504
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: a little bit in.

505
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: The last episode.

506
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: He really really really leads the way with non fastballs

507
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: and his slider was throwing in a lot is his

508
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: primary pitch, but wasn't really finding the zone as much

509
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: with it, and wasn't really mixing his curveball, which interting

510
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: because it has been on very very good for him recently.

511
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: But Katana was great, and like again, if he was

512
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: if he was around in May and June, like you

513
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: really feel like this team probably could have won a

514
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: few more of those games and maybe this whole thing

515
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: would be different.

516
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: But I don't know. We can't. We can't Dowell in

517
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: the past teammore. We got to do that.

518
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, I said it before, I think Shataro Fujinami

519
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: threw one of the best endings I've ever seen. He

520
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: was really really really close to throwing into mac Lenning,

521
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: which is really funny. Only threw nine pitches and he

522
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: had two strikeouts, and guy looks ridiculous. Hunt you guy

523
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: should check out the clip on pitching ninjow against DJ Stewart.

524
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: He threw one hundred three miles an hour, one hundred

525
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: three miles an hour. He threw six fast balls, is

526
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: ending the average pitch lass. He was one hundred one

527
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: and a half miles an hour, the average hundred one

528
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: a half. He even throw one pitch below one hundred

529
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 2: and one hundred pure we're not ending up our ninety

530
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: nine and a half two hundred year. He can throw

531
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: any pitch below one hundred miles an hour, and one

532
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: ball got put in play and it was a little

533
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: dinker for fifty five miles an hours of velocity. It's

534
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: it's crazy how quickly they've they've made that guy so good.

535
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: Talk about the velo. Too happy to see Mark Vento's

536
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: crush a baseball or hit a baseball hard off of

537
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: Felix Bautista in the ninth inning as well off a

538
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and three mile an hour or one hundred

539
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: and one point three mile an hour pitch which got

540
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: him a double, Which was good to see Vento's getting

541
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: some playing time at third base. You know, working his

542
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: working on his game. Keep this guy playing more and

543
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: he'll continue to improve. We know he's got big power potential.

544
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: Love seeing him in the lineup.

545
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: I think also Brepaia Felix has been expanding strikes on

546
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more. Seemed like he might be pressing

547
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: a little bit. It's been a tough, tough couple of

548
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: months for our wonderful rookie. The third basement drew to

549
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: two nice walks in this game. Though two nice walks,

550
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 2: he spent in a couple of these top raight, tough

551
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: looking breaking balls.

552
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 3: Good to see that.

553
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: And Vento's is important because we have to talked to

554
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: you guys about where like his main hole that was

555
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: kind of keeping him from being like kind of taking

556
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: the next step has been against velocity. So it's really

557
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: good to se him turn around and Felix about he's a

558
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: fastball because the best ass ball in the league. It

559
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: really is one of the best bastballs I've ever seen

560
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: in my life. So really nice to see that.

561
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also probably has the second best interest in

562
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: baseball outside of Edwin Diaz. When we were at the game,

563
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: he came into the wire.

564
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: Was it the Omar's whistle and they do uh and

565
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: when during the night games, they basically just stroll blights

566
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: in the whole thing. So if anyone hasn't watched The Wire,

567
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: Omar Omar Littlle is like he's like the bad boy

568
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 2: in the show. He's like he's the guy who the

569
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: gangsters are scared of because he will rob them, like

570
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: he robs the stash house, Like he's that much.

571
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: He's he was a dog.

572
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: He's the best character in the show probably, and he

573
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 2: feelx Batista walks into his entry music.

574
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: He would always like whistle when he was like coming

575
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 3: up on people.

576
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: So cool that Baltimore is like using Baltimore and they're

577
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: like kind of like bringing the whole community because The

578
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: Wire is like such a Baltimore show and that everyone

579
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: who's from Baltimore, Like, I think that's like they hold

580
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: that show incredibly high regard because of how acurate the

581
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: portrayal it is. And he's that guy's that guy's so

582
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: fright and he's so freaking good. Feelix Bautista, what do.

583
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: You think of their city connect jerseys seeing them in game,

584
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: what do you think of them? I like them.

585
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 3: A lot of people do not like them.

586
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: I think I think that sometimes the City Connect Jerseys,

587
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: that simple splicity wins a lot of people will do

588
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: a little bit too much in the City Connect Jersey

589
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: and becomes a little ridiculous. My one problem though most

590
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 2: of the City Connect Jerseys this is true.

591
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm in Colorado. The Rocky is also true of this.

592
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: Oriels the Rockies one.

593
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: The Rocky Jersey is great, but the green pants are ridiculous.

594
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 2: And when the Baltimore goes black on black, I think

595
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: it looks a little bit weird. Like I also, I

596
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: don't know because if they would try to match like

597
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: the Fringe and do like a purple a purple print pant,

598
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: that would be significantly worse. But I think there's a

599
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: better way to do pants than the City Connectors. I

600
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: do think that like it's simple, The Black Jersey's cool.

601
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: We love black Jerry's and Mets fans, of course, and

602
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: the little Fringe getting a little like that little Baltimore

603
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: action is I think that's no, it's good enough.

604
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: It's fine.

605
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I I like the hat, I like the be

606
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. I think that's like the

607
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore b or whatever that they throw around but the

608
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: jersey to me is too boring, just like the black

609
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: and white with a little bit of splash, like on

610
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: the on the sleeve that you can roll up. I

611
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: think that's their whole thing, where if you pop the

612
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: collar a little bit, you can see like the uh,

613
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: the flag or whatever it is that they put inside

614
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: of there. But overall, yeah, I don't know. To me,

615
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: they're they're like mid I definitely I'm not a huge

616
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: fan of like black on black with basketball or baseball jerseys,

617
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: although the Cincinnati Reds City connect ones are sick, but

618
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: they've got like the like black with red Darth Vader

619
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: like Darth Maul Star Wars kind of looked that I

620
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: really like, where the ools are just pretty much black

621
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: and white with a little bit of the flag stuff

622
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: going on there. So I just want to see what

623
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: you thought, because I know we have very different opinions

624
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: on jerseys, and I see we're very much still in

625
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: differing opinions here.

626
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're in You're you're the foremost jersey expert

627
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: of YouTube, so you gotta get the taste off.

628
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 3: And then that was the series.

629
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: We got swept sixth trade losses since the trade deadline

630
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: told you guys the run differential before.

631
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 3: It's really not good. It's really it's not good. It's

632
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: not good. It hard to describe. The Ools are one

633
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 3: of the better teams in the league.

634
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: I think it will be interesting for them to come

635
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 2: home now game tomorrow night against the Cubs. Are gonna

636
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: break into that in a second. But it's just so

637
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 2: weird feeling right now in Mets world. It really feels

638
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: kind of similar to them for the OG Mess Up

639
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: listeners twenty twenty one, where it's just like it like

640
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: it was like they were grinding so hard and eventually

641
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: like it's a bend, don't break, and it kind of

642
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 2: just feels like like, oh man, it's really hard to

643
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: stay ahead right now.

644
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean it's a great I mean Binghamton

645
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: did some good stuff too. Shout out a future Flushing podcast.

646
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: You guys know, Vito and John do that over there.

647
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,199

648
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of the new guys and some of the

649
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,239
Speaker 1: old guys have been playing well, so keep an eye

650
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,679

652
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: you guys go give them a listen over at Future

653
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: of Flushing if you want to hear about some of

654
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: the guys that could be on their way up soon

655
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: with the New York Mets, and then you want to

656
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: just talk about the CUB series, is the time to

657
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: do some estimate type thing.

658
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty much.

659
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: They're also just the big up and rungo Ponies have

660
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 2: become much lost baseball. You guys definitely got to keep

661
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: track of Future Flushing because that rotation, basically every single

662
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: guy in there is looking like they could be a

663
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 2: real prospect. And the lineup with Drew, Gilbert Luis and

664
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: Helicunia is like, that's a formidable middle of the order

665
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 2: right now.

666
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: In terms of the estimate, James, you got one back

667
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: cutting it back to two. There was not a lot

668
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: of home runs in this series, and kind of that's

669
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of the thing with Baltimore, as we mentioned,

670
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: with that left field being so crazy. Also, Gary dropped

671
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: a stat that Pete is one of only seven players

672
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: to hit a home run in Baltimore into the second

673
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: deck in left field, which if you realize it, it's

674
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: even with that back of that wall, so to go

675
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: high in that far. That's pretty impressive. Shot didn't happen

676
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: this week? Oh I got a hiccup mid talking. Oh

677
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: that hurts so bad. Yeah, leave that one in that one,

678
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: that one hurt. But yeah, So estimate we got sent

679
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: in from John. John was not available today to join

680
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: the boys, and they see.

681
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: That we will what's gonna be the worthy episode for John?

682
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: Because he's over voting for Yeah, the.

683
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: I don't know something Baltimore related. I wanna go like

684
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: crustacean for crabs.

685
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, opened up for crustacean. Crustacean's the word for John.

686
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: And there's zero percent going to listen back to this.

687
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely not. So he said, the estimate for this

688
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: series against the Cubs is gonna be left on left

689
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: hits because the Mets have a lot of good lefty

690
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: batters and there's gonna be a lot of lefty pitchers

691
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: in this one. So lefty lefty dry. Give the listeners

692
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: at home the pitching matchups so that they know, and

693
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: then I'll tell you some of the hitters that are

694
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: lefty in this teams pitching matchups.

695
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: This series Monday, seven to ten, all seven ten games

696
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: a series gonna late night for the Boys recording on Wednesday,

697
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: but cod that saying versus Drew Smiley. That's a lefty

698
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 2: right there. Tuesday a couple of right these Carls Karask

699
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: versus Jameson ty On and then Wednesday David Peterson second lefty.

700
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: This series versus Kyle Hendrix.

701
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: So maybe John was reagonable. But only two lefty starting pitchers,

702
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: but a few lefty relievers gonna mix in, So here

703
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: we go.

704
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. They have one lefty hitter. I

705
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: think that plays every single day.

706
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: It's Cody Bellinger, all right, So we're doing Cody Bellinger,

707
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 2: danielvogeback a brand Nemo hits.

708
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: And I guess if Tucker Barnhardt decides to play, I

709
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: guess he'll he'll hit lefty since he doesn't switch hit anymore.

710
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: And Chambers a switch hitter. John John John really melt

711
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: in this one. John John tried to sell it. Obviously

712
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: on the Mets side. You mentioned that. So we have

713
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: like one guy on the Cubs and then Brandon Nemo,

714
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil, Brett Bady, Yeah, vocal vocal back DJ Stewart.

715
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: I guess the Mets do have a good chunk of

716
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: lefties Armarin Orviz will probably get a game in there

717
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: as well. We do.

718
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: But Treu Smiley is like I don't even know. He's

719
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: like Sandy Kofax against the Mets.

720
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Can never has guy. He has been pretty filthy. H Okay,

721
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: total hits. I got a number, all right, I got

722
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: I got one.

723
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 3: Too, all right? He ready down?

724
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, three two one eight five? Oh, okay, eight and five,

725
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: eight and five. I figured that Nimo is gonna sprinkle

726
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: in a few. Jeff's gonna sprinkle in a few because

727
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: he's been swinging the bat well. And Cody Bellinger, sorry

728
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: Mets fans, he's playing really good baseball. Probably gonna get

729
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: a couple hits. He's been fantastic this year.

730
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger looks awesome.

731
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: I had a great discussion like one of my fantasy

732
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: baseball group chats the other day, just about like Cody

733
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 2: Bellinger and where like how you can have as many

734
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: bad season as Cody Bellinger. Cody Bellinger basically was one

735
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: of statistically the worst players in baseball for two hundred

736
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: and forty games.

737
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: Hitting realize wise, hitting wy hitting wise.

738
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: He always playing good defense through and through in that

739
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: because like after that twenty twenty season, it really started

740
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: to kind of fall apart. Even twenty twenty, he had

741
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: a bad year, but he was still fine with this

742
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: guy who was over thirty percent worse in league average

743
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, non tendered

744
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: by Dodgers team. We mentioned this a couple episodes ago,

745
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: that wound up signing Jason Hayward than David Peralta to

746
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 2: fill in the outfield for him. So they found what

747
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: they thought that these lefties Jason Hayward and David Peralta

748
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: were better than Cody Bellinger, someone who won MVP for

749
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: them just two years three years prior, and.

750
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: Out of their fake World Series in twenty twenty as well.

751
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: He's a huge part of twenty twenty seve percent of

752
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: the World Series that they won. But Cody Bellinger is

753
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: having as good of a resurgence as you could possibly

754
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: have right now. Since July first, he has He has

755
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 2: a four oh eight four to forty four six eighty

756
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: three slash line with two hundred WRC plus and that's

757
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: in that's over one hundred and thirty three played appearances

758
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: right there. Just July first, a four hundred batting average

759
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: four hundred, not just four hundred four oh eight, that's

760
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: like and over that time he is only striking out

761
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: eight percent with a seven percent walk grade.

762
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is quite literally, I mean carrying the Cubs

763
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: like they have. They're they're better than we expected, for sure.

764
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: And there are some ballplayers on this team, like Cody Bellinger,

765
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: like Christopher Morrell, like James Swanson over at shortstop, but like,

766
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: this team is nowhere without the offensive production that they've

767
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: gotten from Cody Bellinger, especially over this last month when

768
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: the Cubs have been hot and playing their best baseball.

769
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: And I think I think they took two or three

770
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: from the Braves. I think they went up at one point.

771
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: It's bottom of the eighth right now while we're recording this. Again,

772
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: bad podcasting, but that's fine, six', four bottom of the,

773
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: eighth three more. Outs they win a series against The Atlanta,

774
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: Braves watch out for Those.

775
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: Cubs you just jinxed the end of that series so,

776
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: badly it's kind of.

777
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: Ridiculous we'll find. Out we will find out on the

778
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: morning when you guys are listening to.

779
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: This, yeah This cubs team is. Pesky Nick Nico horner

780
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 2: is having a very good.

781
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: Season he's a goodball.

782
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: Player Ian happ is kind of exactly what he, is

783
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: but he's a least a steadying force that has some

784
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: power gets on.

785
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: Base dancy's had a very good year.

786
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: Too that signing looks like it was done at an

787
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: affordable raid for a guy who's still playing great. Defense

788
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: he had a real power barrage over the last week

789
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: and a half as. Well he think it's up like

790
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 2: sixteen seventeen home runs on the. Season, yeah he's goodball,

791
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: players some goodball players in his. Team they're definitely a

792
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: strange roster because they still don't have one starting pitchero

793
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: throws more than like ninety four miles an, hour and

794
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: that's even being generous To Drew smiley And james And

795
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: tans had a rough season in the first year of

796
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: his free agent. Deal but they're also their bullpen's also.

797
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: BIZARRE i think a lot Of cubs fans probably have

798
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: like some bittersweet feelings coming out of the trade deadline

799
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: because they didn't really seem like they were in the.

800
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: Mix they definitely were about to sell and probably could

801
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: have gotten A hall For Cody bellinger on a one

802
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: year playing on a one year deal out there and

803
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: then they went on seven game win streak just before the,

804
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: deadline decided to, buy just Only Jammer candelario didn't really

805
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: get any pitching because we.

806
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: Know we saw a creation by the, way yeah, RIGHT

807
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: i got, this my.

808
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: Boy we saw how crazy the price was for pitching

809
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: in the trade, deadline thinking About Drew, Gilbert Ryan Clifford

810
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: luis On, Helocunya SO i think it's kind of probably.

811
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: Priced the, team like the comes, out don't exactly have

812
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: the best minor league depths as he's currently.

813
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: Stated and, yeah definitely.

814
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: Anybody Yeah marcos stroman old friend used that term. Loosely

815
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: just went on the il as well after a very

816
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: very very poor, month after a really hot start of the.

817
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: Season weird team put a lot of balls in play

818
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: and don't throw. Hard they kind of went foil against

819
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: like the rest Of Major League baseball and the way

820
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: they've built and developed this like new. Roster it's like

821
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: not a lot of, power tons of. Contact even saying

822
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: that those lines From bellinger basically basically no walks and,

823
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: strikeouts just a lot of balls in play and not

824
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: even the hit that hard that many barrels is really

825
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: just putting it in, play finding his spots.

826
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Well exciting. Me and you spoke about like off the

827
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: podcast WAS i was, like because you're Like bellinger's, Back i'm, like,

828
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: yeah but he's still not hitting the ball hard at.

829
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: All you're, like he's just completely given up on like

830
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: being a hard hit guy and just Like i'm gonna

831
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: put the ball in, play not strike out as, much

832
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: and just like hope that it. Works and it is

833
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: for sure working because he's ten percentile and hard hit,

834
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: rate so that's even if he was hitting it hard

835
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: on the, ground he's he's hitting the ball very very.

836
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Soft but it's. Working it's getting the job. Done.

837
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah something he's, done which is something he did really

838
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: well when he first came, up was just having a

839
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: really good understanding of the strike zone and like trying

840
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: and not really chasing very much when he was at

841
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: his worst the last few.

842
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 3: Years so his chase rates are quite.

843
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: Bad and the whiff ray was always something that was

844
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: not good For blend because he always take these massive

845
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: hacks while still really aligning with the strike.

846
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: Zone but now he's not whiffing at.

847
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: All he's really shortened up and he's tightened up everything

848
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: which is really ironic considering the player that he, was

849
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: and that probably means that what is what's going On

850
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: belinger right now isn't exactly the most sustainable, thing but

851
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: it is something where he's just probably the way getting

852
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: back to his own. Basics he's still twenty eight years.

853
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: Old he still we saw the top end of what

854
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: he can't. Do he's reworked a swing like what four

855
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: or five times since that famous shoulder injury in twenty twenty,

856
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: playoffs like a lot of this, game like we talked about,

857
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: before his mental and like those last couple of years To,

858
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: dodgers it looked like the mentals For bellinger were not that.

859
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: GREAT i remember that was a clip On Sunday Night

860
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: baseball where they were Interviewing Mookie betts his. PREGAME i

861
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: think it was about two years. Ago mayah could last,

862
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: year couldn't two yars? AGO i remember exactly. When but, there, yeah,

863
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: no they were like wood player on The dodgers and

864
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: then could use like a fashion, makeover some new. Style

865
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: AND i don't Think moki knew The Coldey bellinger was

866
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: walking right behind him and he was like Definitely cody

867
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: And bellinger looked at him like he was just, Sad

868
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: like he was sad, that like it's one of his.

869
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: TEAMMATES i kind of, said he has bad, style so

870
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: like it just kind of seems like it was something

871
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: where it is so ironic with The dodgers as, well

872
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: because we see like a year over, year how much

873
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: more they get out of hitters they're. Hitting coach Turned

874
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: Jerrey hellnick into actually in above average hitre for about

875
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 2: two full, months which is really good for. Him and

876
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: just the fact that like sometimes coaching just gets. Down

877
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: we saw this kind of similarly With Matt chapman coming

878
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: off a major hip, injury And i'm not gonna give

879
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: The a's coaches any credit, all but going To, toronto

880
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: like they really fixed a massive hole in his swing

881
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: where he couldn't hitches his top of his Own belger

882
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: had a sumwhere hole in the swing of pitches the

883
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: top of his, zone really struggle with velocity for a while,

884
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: there and maybe shortening up and putting the ball in

885
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: play is going to get him to a place now

886
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: where he's like getting better and then once he's fully,

887
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: back maybe the power does come.

888
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: Back but just everything you're seeing From Cody bellinger right

889
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: now makes it look like he is quite a good ball. Player.

890
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: Again he is the absolute lynchpin to this cup.

891
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: Roster, yeah change the scenery can be huge for, guys

892
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: and definitely Like bellinger just got to play some ball

893
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: to start the. Year now he's feeling, good he's playing,

894
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: confident looks. Good is there any weird reliever in this

895
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: pen that you? LIKE i feel like we played because the.

896
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah that was that was what like Late may when

897
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: things started to feel kind of weird for. Us Julian

898
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: merriweather has insane. Stuff you guys might remember from a

899
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: few years. Ago he had like this ridiculous outing for

900
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: The Blue jays against The yankees an opening day and

901
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: it was like what it' got throw one hundred miles

902
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: In now it's looks. Amazing but then he got. Hurt

903
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: and there's always been injuries In. Merriweather but right now

904
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,160
