1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,560

29
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: since you've been here, that's Mets are two and one

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: or one and two not lucky in the sharpest right now.

31
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's your fault, but we might have

32
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: to ship you back to Europe. How are you feeling

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: about that?

34
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, thank god Nick's won on Sunday because if

35
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: they would have lost two straight games, like I was

36
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: getting on the first slide out here because I know

37
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: that Mets. We cared about the Mets a lot. But

38
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: it's still April. Nick Nick's are a dog five playoff

39
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: series right now and a lot, a lots on the line.

40
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Everything is on the line for the series. But this

41
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: Mets team just kind of fly for the second series

42
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: in a row. Kind of weird. Something you told me

43
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: on Friday, that's a little off putting about this team

44
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: that brand Nemo said in the Mookie pot Bets podcast.

45
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: We talked about the lots. It's a great it's a

46
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: great podcast, a great show, but that this team doesn't

47
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: like playing in the cold.

48
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: You know, if it's just waiting for the bats to

49
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: come around or something like that. You also have to

50
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: understand that, you know, you've played in the north the

51
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: East in April and it's yeah, it's cold.

52
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: It's different.

53
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: You know, it's different than when you go down to

54
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: Atlanta or you even come out here to La you know,

55
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: and you get you get more similar weather, and you know,

56
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: the ball flies a little bit better and is a

57
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: little more consistent.

58
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Which I don't think acknowledged it y, which is weird.

59
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't think any anybody likes playing baseball and the cold.

60
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: If you guys have played baseball before anytime, like fallball sucks,

61
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: like March baseball sucks, like it just parts your hands.

62
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: It's not fun to be out there standing still when

63
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: the wind's blowing is forty five degrees. But you don't

64
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: really saying that. Allows crazy, especially Brandon mcgrip and Wyoming.

65
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: We still love Nemo and love these guys, but if

66
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you look at the way this Mets season is gone,

67
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: that those first two series at home were cold, they

68
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: played like shit. They got on the road, they played

69
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: in La really well, they got they got hot when

70
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: it was a little nicer weather. Suddenly they go to

71
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco and they get cold again. And then this

72
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: series on Friday, especially Saturday was a pretty nice day,

73
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: but then Friday was cold and windy, and they didn't

74
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: seem like they had any They just they kind of

75
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: fell behind it early and didn't really have a chance.

76
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: It's weird that that's happening with this Mets team. I'm

77
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: sure there's much deeper, legitimate problems with roster that we

78
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: talk about then, like the fact that Brandon must said

79
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: another podcast, they only play in the cold, but just

80
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: sucks to lose to the Cardinals. We talked how much

81
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: we hate them the other day. People were blaming me

82
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: for the jinks. I kind of did janks them a

83
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: little bit, but like, just fucking hate this team. They're

84
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: the worst. They're so snobby and so smug. The fact

85
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: they thank god we beat them on Sunday because they

86
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: would have crawled back to five hundred and they would

87
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: have had a better record than us, but at least

88
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: like ended the series nice. But just this team I'll

89
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: hate them forever, and this weekend did nothing to help that. Yeah, No,

90
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: I'm standing my stand on business about what we said

91
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: about the Cardinals.

92
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: This Cardinals team does still stick. Doesn't mean that we

93
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: didn't play poorly. We lost that series because we did

94
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: not play well. It's not like the Cardinals particularly came

95
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: out and we're like, we're so much better team than you.

96
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: They smacked around Adrian Hauser.

97
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: And as much as we know that Adrian Hauser was

98
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: going to be this kind of pitcher, it is starting

99
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: to get to a little bit of a point of

100
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: frustration because he gives up those walks, he gives up

101
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: those hits. He did get dinked and doinked a little

102
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: bit here and there, but when he's not on, it

103
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: is inevitable that he's gonna give up six to seven

104
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: runs in appearance.

105
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: And that's what happened in this one. So it's like, yeah,

106
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: you kind of beat us, and I'm not gonna make excuses,

107
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: but if I am, you beat Adrian Houser. It was

108
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: cold and this is loser talk now. Yeah, And we

109
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: always knew they were gonna lose the Houser game this

110
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: year because Adrian hows was going up Agains Sunny Gray,

111
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: Sony Grey right now. I told you guys in the

112
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: previous pitching like one of the best pitchers in baseball,

113
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: and again we saw firsthand that he looks like one

114
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: of the best pitchers in baseball. Still looks like that

115
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: will probably be one of the gems of this past

116
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: free agent market. That seems like I had a lot

117
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: of land mines in it where he signed with the

118
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals very early on for a relatively team friendly deal

119
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: and just looks completely unhittable and incredible, that sweeper. But

120
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: just again a weird series, and the vibes started kind

121
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: of weirdly gain On Friday, we were both in attendance,

122
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: first game that we were both at since Opening Days

123
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: since I left the country, and Cold Windy Shadow Jerry.

124
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: We had a fun time with the game, shadow any

125
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: Shadow Emily shadowed my family like. We had a blast.

126
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: I have my first city field top way of the

127
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: year at some sausage and peppers and kingwas and arugula.

128
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: It was nice. Can't wait to not buy any food

129
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: in that stadium all year and not give that team

130
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: a dollar on anything besides beer because I'm a stubborn individual.

131
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: But all that Jady Martinez debuted. I think this was

132
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: a moment that Mets fans were really waiting for and

133
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: nice see him jump right in and really seemed like

134
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: he had sea legs under immediately. Yeah, he had a

135
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: really good day.

136
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: Would have been great if that double could have just

137
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: stretched a little bit. The boys made some bets on

138
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: Jady Martinez, Francisco lindor Pete Alonzo for some RBIs two

139
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: three RBIs. If you guys were undering, we thought they

140
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: were really going to get to Michael's because that guy

141
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: just absolutely stinks.

142
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: But the win died on that ball to right field.

143
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: I had Jadie Martinez for a home run as well,

144
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: like it would have been a big payout for me.

145
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: We would have had some fun at City Field that night,

146
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: but didn't end up going out. But yeah, he looked

147
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: really good, and I know he struggled in Game two

148
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: in this series, going up against Sundygra. I think he

149
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 2: had three strikeouts in that game. But I'm not worried

150
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: about his performance by any means. He's he's a great hitter.

151
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: We knew he was gonna be a good hitter, and

152
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: it was nice to see what this lineup could look

153
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: like with him in it. It did feel a lot deeper.

154
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: Even though they couldn't get to Miles Michaels. They got

155
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: a lot of hits, they just couldn't score runs.

156
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: And the whole tide change in that first inning because

157
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: Budo sat down the Cardinals and then immediately Nimo and

158
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Marte got hit to start the game. So you're like, okay, nice,

159
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: we're on I remember it was first and second or

160
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: second third, the first and third, but they were both

161
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: on base with the second, Yeah, with Lindor Pete and

162
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: then Jadie Martinez do up and they went bang bang

163
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: bang right down in order, and they're like, ah, damn it.

164
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: And then once that happens, You're like, Okay, now the

165
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: whole thing feels off. Michaels gets confident. Also, just you

166
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: got to bring up the best Miles Michael. The story

167
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: ever since he started against the Mets. I forgot in

168
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: the preview. But just because I forgot about the story.

169
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: He was in the Arizona Fall League probably what like

170
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: seven eight, nine years ago now, because he went to

171
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Korea and came back and someone in the bullpen in

172
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: the Arizona Fall League bet Miles Michaels because they're in Arizona.

173
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot weird Cris is running around that he

174
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't eat a lizard that they caught in the in

175
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: the bullpen. So Miles Michael list I think took a beer.

176
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken remembering correctly, I think it was

177
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: a sprite. The sprite, I know some of the fizz

178
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: poured a little bit on the lizard and just downed

179
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: it right there in the bullpen. Complete sick o behavior.

180
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: It was thirteen years ago he did that. Woween twenty

181
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: eleven for the Peoria. What is it the Peoria have

182
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: Alina's Yeah, it is the Havalinas. How do I know

183
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: that the eras of a fall league ta names.

184
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: That's disgusting, But Miles Michael was a grotesque human for

185
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: doing that and just not hitting him was really annoying.

186
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Even though we're putting the ball and play a lot,

187
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: making a lot of contact, had some men on base.

188
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: The only guy really got to him for some reason

189
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: was Thomas Nido, who had a home run to double

190
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: three hard hit balls, I tweeted out because we were

191
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: tricks are flowing at the game. We're having a good time,

192
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: I said, because he was on psychle watching at the

193
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: home run a double and I was like, if Tomas

194
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: knew it was a triple in the next to beat

195
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: and the street crossed the field, and luckily that did

196
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: not happen, but he did put a five ball to

197
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: the wall, so I was like, oh my god, if

198
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: this actually finds a way to drop. But the story,

199
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: The one really thing I want to talk about from

200
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: priory is Jose Bhutto because it was his first start

201
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: where he I would say struggled so far this season,

202
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: really the first time he struggled since he got called

203
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: back up to the major leagues late last season. So

204
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: we're on like a fifteen star streak from Budda where

205
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: he was completely in control the whole time. And this

206
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: one was a weird one because the line wasn't that

207
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: good and he gave up some mammoth home runs to

208
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: Alec Burrowson Wilson Contreres, but overall still felt like a

209
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: game that he was more in control than not. The

210
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: final line wounded up being five and two thirds endings,

211
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: four hit, three walks, four strikeouts, four earned, and again

212
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: his two home runs were bad. He left to change

213
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: up low and middle to Alec Burrolson I called a

214
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of plate that he hit like four hundred and

215
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: fifteen feet one hundred and seven miles an hour. And

216
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: then the singer right down the middle of Wilson Contreller,

217
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: who has some of the most underrated power in the league.

218
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: I feel like he doesn't get lumped into these guys

219
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: who pass these god the exit velosite number at the

220
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: end of the year, but he always does have them

221
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen miles an hour. Both of them

222
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: were smoked. Home runs were eight hundred and sixty feet

223
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: combined on a very cold, very windy night in city field.

224
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: You guys know how hard this to get the ball

225
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: as city field, and it was for the messic assistantly

226
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: all night too, so it was really impressive they got those.

227
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: But after that Controller's home run that made it four

228
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: nothing woe. Were retired eleven guys in a row through

229
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: the two outs in the sixth inning, and then it

230
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: couldn't necessarily get through that ending, and they brought in

231
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: a lefty to get Nolan Gorman out Josh Walker, but

232
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: his los seit was a little down. He had no

233
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: fielder command whatsoever. Slider was way off, his change up

234
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: was moving in different directions. It seemed like he really

235
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: couldn't command it. If you guys look at his pitch chart,

236
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: the illustrate answer Vaughan. The pitches he was throwing the

237
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: rities were literally everywhere. It was middle, it was low,

238
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: it was outside. There was no he wasn't hitting any corners,

239
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: he wasn't hitting in the edge. Is so like, I'm

240
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: still confident because this was a start where he had

241
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing and he's still almost got through six innings.

242
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: But just he's a guy who's gonna challenge people. The

243
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: stuff is not exceptional. He's more of a pitcher than

244
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: the stuff is. So if something isn't working, it's probably

245
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: not gonna work that well like you saw. But still

246
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: bear down, still gave the team lank and again as

247
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: we're now seeing David Peterson Tyler McGill have these rehab starts,

248
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be a competition. These next few

249
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: starts are going to be important for Budo determine whether

250
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna stay with us or not. But still confident,

251
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: my guy, and still still want him to keep pushing

252
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: because I still think there's a very good starting pitcher

253
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: here since last year, sixty four innings and thirteen appearances,

254
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: eleven starts, a three point three eight ERA, with a

255
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: whip at one point twenty five, a fit at four

256
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: point zero five, striking out about twenty five ish percent

257
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: of the batters that he's faced.

258
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: None of these numbers jump off the page. But you

259
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: also got to remember too, those first couple starts for

260
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: him even last year went miserably bad, like he has

261
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: been good over the last probably forty five innings that

262
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: he's thrown. And again, tiny sample size, but the stuff

263
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: that Budo has shown us at least gives us faith

264
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: that he is one of the five best pitchers on

265
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: this team right now, especially with how we saw Adrian

266
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: Howser pitch. He also just like the thing I like

267
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: about Budo is he's got a little bit of that

268
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: bulldog in him. He doesn't have like bad body language.

269
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: He was nibbling in this game, which was a little

270
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: bit frustrating because normally he does kind of just go

271
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: right at guys and attack, and we now saw that

272
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: for two straight games with him going up against the

273
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Cardinals and the Dodgers. But at the same time, like

274
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: you said, things weren't going well for him, and he

275
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: was able to limit the damage. And the fact of

276
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: the matter is, if the Mets can't score four runs

277
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: off of Miles Michaelis alone, don't really deserve to win

278
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: the game. And the bats just didn't show up when

279
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: we needed it. Budo could have been better, but it's

280
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: not really easy to win a game. When he scored

281
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: two runs.

282
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: It wound up really just being two bad pitches too,

283
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: and they just wound up being mammoth home runs because

284
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: they're very bad pitches. Plong two other hits and any

285
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: star we wind up retiring. Eleven guys in a row

286
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: is a pretty good start. And the key here again

287
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: no feel cold, windy night. His pitch is the change up.

288
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: That's a field pitch. That pitch had no swings and

289
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: misses for the first time any start he's made with

290
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: the Mets, and he's still got fifteen swings and misses overall,

291
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: so just not having feel for that pitch, not being

292
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: able to get the lefties with that pitch. Barrelston had

293
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: the home run as a lefty on that change up,

294
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: so just the slider looked good even though it wasn't

295
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: edible to locate the fastball still look good, even though

296
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: a little bit les velocity and the big things that

297
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: has made so good since the middle last year and

298
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: came back up was alternating between fastball and sinker, like

299
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: having two different looks for the rights and the lefties,

300
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: which something again, something I like the most about him

301
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: is that he's been really good limiting damage from lefties,

302
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: mostly since he's being able to come up now Righty's

303
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: too with that slitherer. So still confident, still hopeful. I

304
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: think it's just they got into two and it was

305
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: again I don't know, four innings, four runs and five

306
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: and two thirds, like it could be significantly worse. The

307
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: full season stats are still rain the twos and whip

308
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: barely above one. So everything is still good overall.

309
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: And we also have to talk about the biggest story

310
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: of the night, James, do you remember what happened going

311
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: for that eighth inning karaoke?

312
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh my god, So we Mark was a full

313
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: on corrupt in the ballpark on Friday. Oh yeah, we

314
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: drunk with power. Yeah. We love a lot of the

315
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: stuff Mets production does a lot, but almost everything mess

316
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Production does we fully support in this pot almost everything,

317
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: but They've been getting a little reckless this year with

318
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: the Athony karaoke. For some reason, I'm just Ken keeps winning.

319
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm that song sucks. I don't like I think it's cool.

320
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: They've done in a few times good pop culture ship.

321
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: That feels like a lot of the things that Mets

322
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: are doing in the ballpark this year are for not

323
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: like the normal base of Mets fans. It's not like

324
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: social media. It is social.

325
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: It's so that someone like me or other people take

326
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: a video of it, posts on social media, gets retweets,

327
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: get a million.

328
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: Views solely, and we do do that all the time.

329
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: It's great. But Friday night a city field, I want

330
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: to listen to Piano Man. I just do. I do so.

331
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: Then Piano Man was losing too I'm just Ken, and

332
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: then our buddy Ernie Emily they want they also wanted

333
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: to listen to piano Man. So Mark was like, okay,

334
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: I have an idea. We were we were voting for

335
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: Piano Man, but they were starting to lose by a

336
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: lot of the polls. We were like, okay, Mark's like,

337
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna change this right now, and

338
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Mark with it. Eighty thousand some Twitter followers, tweets out

339
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: the linco and says, everybody vote for piano Man. In

340
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: a matter of moments, we flipped the poles like thirty

341
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: flipped it around. Piano Man wound up winning narrowly. Mark

342
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: got really drunk with Jerry was super impressed. He was

343
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: loving it too, and oh yeah, we got to sing

344
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: piano Man because that's what we want to do Cityfield

345
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: a Friday night.

346
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the with the agent in attendance, it's always

347
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: good to have to show him what kind of clout

348
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: we got going out over here. But it got twelve

349
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: k views on Twitter, so theoretically probably added like a

350
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: thousand or two thousand votes maybe to that. That eighth

351
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: and karaoke, and it was nice to be able to

352
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 2: just be like, you know what, No, this is mine now,

353
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: I control this. I make the decisions of what music

354
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: were played in the ballpark. I tried it again on

355
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: Saturday when I was there with Clay, tried it again.

356
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: I flipped it.

357
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: It was I think Piano Man was at like thirty

358
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: one percent and Miley Cyrus Party in the USA, which

359
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: great song, banger all about it. I was I was

360
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: happy to lose to that one rather than I'm just ken.

361
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: I'll also say this, a Saturday day game is different

362
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: vibes in a Friday night game Saturday day game. I

363
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: don't hate listening to part the USA Saturday day game,

364
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: mix it up, play whatever you want, but the Friday

365
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: night game city field like, that's piano man territory.

366
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 2: And I tried it again on Saturday and it was

367
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: I think like forty to thirty. I did it immediately

368
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: started passing Party in the USA. And then they, I'm

369
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: telling you, well, we probably know mess production can see

370
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: my tweets, and I'm sure they're pretty hip to that.

371
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for a couple of games now.

372
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: They started putting it on the scoreboard like crazy every

373
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: half inning.

374
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: Don't forget to vote. It's party in the USA, gonna

375
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: take down piano Man. Like kept mentioning things over and

376
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: over again, and I just kept retweeting.

377
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Like, come on, come on, come on, let's keep winning.

378
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: I got a heat check party in the USA one.

379
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: There were a lot of it was there was a

380
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: lot of women in the ballpark on Saturday, and I

381
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: think there were there were really feeling party in the USA, which,

382
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: like you said, it's more Saturday vibes, but ended up

383
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: losing by one percent forty totally brought back. I think

384
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: the real test is gonna be if we can do

385
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: it with a song that nobody wants to listen to,

386
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: Like we're gonna have pick the song that's getting smoked

387
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: and see if we can get that one to win.

388
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just fun thing now we can keep

389
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: track of in this podcast, like how many times you

390
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: can and we can use messed up to other power

391
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: as well, like how much we can sway these votes,

392
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: So everyone keep track on that. Everyone. He was probably

393
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: following marks to keep an eye on that, because again

394
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: we almost a piano then more than they let it

395
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: go up there. But we overall not a good game,

396
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: a really bad way started the series, and it felt

397
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: like we had a pitching advantage and we lose the

398
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: game because heading ato Saturday, we knew for sure we

399
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: did not have a pitching advantage, and this was the

400
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: game you knew we were gonna lose the series, and

401
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: it wound up being worse than I thought.

402
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: We knew we were gonna lose, But I also felt

403
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: not as bad as what actually ended up happening, Like

404
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: I know Howser got smoked by the Dodgers, but again

405
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: it's the Dodgers. That lineup is great, like we I

406
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: can understand, and that final line two was a little

407
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: bit skewed because he ended up coming out with the

408
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: bases loaded, so we gave up hits there. Like there

409
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: was a lot of things going on, but he was

410
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: just not sharp from the start. I mean, he wasn't

411
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: really attacking the zone. He was kind of nibbling around

412
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: the plate. I would love to start the Omar Nervas

413
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: conversation again about like he was behind the plate for

414
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: this one. The Bets gave up a ton of runs

415
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: against an offense that isn't particularly that great, but Howser

416
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: didn't pitch well. I don't think that's Snarvia's fault by

417
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: any means. Like he was just throwing meatballs and walking

418
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: guys and getting Dnton Dorington. Just nothing was going right

419
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: for him. And similarly kind of knew it was gonna

420
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: be fucked at the start when Pete On like a

421
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: ball that Brendan Donovan hit down the first baseline for

422
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: the first bat of the game, tries to make a

423
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: diving stop, clanks off his glove, rolls twenty five feet

424
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: to the wall and he ends up getting a double

425
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: off of what could have been out. And I was like, Oh,

426
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: it's gonna be one of those games where nothing is

427
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: gonna go right for us.

428
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: And that's just kind of how it went. Also kind

429
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: of shit that this year Pete is against it doesn't

430
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: really matter, it's first base defense in Pete is still

431
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: the best. Horrible, It's been probably the worst defensive year

432
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: in his career. OAA would bear that out. Also, just

433
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: the fact that before the Mets came to the play,

434
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: you're losing four nothing in a game at home. Like

435
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: that sucks, Like that just really sucks. It couldn't limit

436
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: the damage after that happened that ending, and then how'ser

437
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: wasn't really terrible after that, But then Josh Walker gave

438
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: up the inherited run on we gotta talk about Josh Walker,

439
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: Josh Balker haven't. Yeah, he's he's got a balk problem.

440
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: I even joked about it with Clay, who I was

441
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: at the game with. I was like, Oh, Josh Walker's

442
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: and how is gonna walk in this run? And the

443
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: next pitch he balked and I was like, oh my god,

444
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I to be fair, because I couldn't see it on TV.

445
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: Did you see what happened? Did he balk? I don't

446
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: know what he did. I can't find clips anywhere of it.

447
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: I was game casting most of this game because I

448
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: was the wedding on Saturday. Shout out Calvin Sabrina. A

449
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: wonderful party, wonderful time. But yeah, I didn't actually see

450
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: the video of it because once I saw it too,

451
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 1: I was like so mad, was like six nothing all care.

452
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this a way and focus on the

453
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: part of the imat, but he wors part of the job.

454
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: Josh Walker. We still like Josh Walker. Josh Walker. I

455
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: think he has pretty good stuff and he's like a

456
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: big imposing figure on the mouth, like I think he's

457
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: someone that there is there's real hope for it as a

458
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: major league believer.

459
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: But it's just especially now that Nate Lavender went down

460
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: for the year with Tommy Johnsurger. He's out for the

461
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: year for the year, so he's not gonna be playing.

462
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: So Josh Walker is our backup down lefty in the miners.

463
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: I think they called up Danny Young, who's also a

464
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: lefty on Sunday, Yes, but Walker's got better stuff than

465
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: Danny up.

466
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, Walker was still mean again another cold, windy is day,

467
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: so they feel like he was still throwing ninety four

468
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: to ninety five miles an hour from the left side,

469
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: like with not it's not great for the goal break.

470
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: They got some some good fastballs up there, and he's

471
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: got the sinker and he was mixing in the curve.

472
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: But it's just I don't know. So he's like he's

473
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: like he's like honing in. He's near being a good picture.

474
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: He's not quite there yet. We'll just find still some

475
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: development to do. But as long as he doesn't balk,

476
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: it's fine. And after that inherently run the mess bullpen

477
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: shut down the Cardinals gave the team chance to come back.

478
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: Pete had two hundred home runs of his career, which

479
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: was really nice to see. I had the the pet

480
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: two hundred run montage ready for a minute, and I

481
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: put it up on Twitter Sunday after the two minutes

482
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: of Pete Alonzo home runs. If you guys are feeling

483
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: like spending an hour and a half being happy, you

484
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: should watch that vide. It's great and doing great right now.

485
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: It's got over a thousand one hundred thousand impressions. Should

486
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: upload that to YouTube? You think why not? We could.

487
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: We'll try it out.

488
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: I might put it out on YouTube, but all two

489
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: hundred of Pete a Lonzo's home runs, send me the

490
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: file or no, you can upload it the other time.

491
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: That I went to the episode. But yeah, there's also

492
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: just I'm happy for Pete fourth fast player major league

493
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: history to two hundred home runs, only behind Ryan Howard,

494
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, and Ralph Kiner. Which is so crazy that

495
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: in the era that Ralph Kinner played, he hit he

496
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: got to two hundred runs that quickly as such a

497
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: dog five or six game difference too, by between Ralph

498
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: Kiner Pete and the coolest thing about Ralph Conner, I've

499
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: always wanted to make TikTok about this, but I've never

500
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: been able to like think about the right visual elements.

501
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: You guys have no idea that Ralph Kiner's dating history,

502
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: He's insane. Was I think it was it was Marilyn Monroe.

503
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: I want to say it was had Burn. I'll get

504
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: the Wikipedia going right now just to look it up.

505
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: But like in terms of someone who is famous in

506
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: like the fifties and sixties, the most legendary dating history.

507
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: I could literally ever imagine.

508
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: He dated Ava Gardner, who was like a huge actress.

509
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: He dated Elizabeth Taylor. It was a huge acts Janet

510
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: Lee was another huge one.

511
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: One of the prettiest women in the history of the world.

512
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Taylor. Yeah, like he was just getting around, not

513
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: not in the bad way. He was doing a good

514
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: job Navy pilot in World War Two. He has one

515
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: of the funniest stories I've ever heard from like old baseball,

516
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: where he I think it was his rookie year, the

517
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: middle of his career coming up, and he was the

518
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: MVP the league and one of the best seasons in

519
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: all of baseball, and he walked into the orner the

520
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: pirate's office. He was like, like a raise And though

521
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: that's in baseball, owners have all the power. I'm still

522
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: reading The Lords of the Realm right now. It's just

523
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: amazing book about the baseball's financial history. It's sick, it incredible,

524
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: but something that if you guys are really like nerdy

525
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: like me into the ship like, you'd love it. But

526
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: if for someone like Mark who doesn't read, you probably

527
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: will not like it. Because five hundred is a TV

528
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: show I'd watch it for sure. Five hundred page is

529
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: about baseball financial history. But Pirates owner was like, oh,

530
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: how did the team do this year? Came in last?

531
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: He was like, all right, well came in last with you.

532
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: We can come and last without you. So you're not

533
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: getting a RAI legendary story. It's amazing. Also World War

534
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: Two veteran Ulf Kinder but and legendary Mets announcer for

535
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: a very long time. But hab you repeat also just

536
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: in so incredible. Think about Pete hitting this two hundred

537
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: home runs in terms of Mets history because the Mets,

538
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: as Donald Grecor will remind us, there's never really been

539
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: a forever Met, and right now Pete's on the precipice

540
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: of maybe being or maybe not being a forever Met again.

541
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: And he just he has smoked every player in Mets

542
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: history in terms of power and production. He is the

543
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: quickest by far in Mets history. I tweeted out on Sunday,

544
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: the two hundred home runs Darryl is a homegrown guy's

545
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: next closest and it took him an extra one hundred

546
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: I think sixty one hundred and seventy games to get there.

547
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: So a season. Yeah, it's basically a full season of baseball.

548
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: And I remember, guys, one of pete seasons is only

549
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: sixty games, Like, of course we're not doing this by seasons,

550
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: but just he lost a season that's gonna wind up

551
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: being up one hundred games in his prime when it's

552
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: all said and done, which so sucks and it's completely ridiculous.

553
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: But even we look at guy like Piazu came to

554
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: the Mets in the middle of his prime. It took

555
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: him eight hundred and forty three games to get to

556
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: two hundred Mets home runs, where it took Pete seven

557
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: hundred and ten. That's also basically a whole season, one

558
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: hundred thirty games. You or David Wright, who was still

559
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: a long way to go, but I think he's still

560
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: the best player in Mets history. From twelve hundred games

561
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: to two hundred home runs Pete did in seven hundred's,

562
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: it's like he's the best power hit their Mets history.

563
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: So the chance he becomes the best hitter in Mets

564
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: history it's all said and done, and it was it

565
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: was cool to make this montage and look back at

566
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: like Pete's career because yeah, it's been here six years

567
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: now like it was twenty nineteen when this all started

568
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: and he's he's growing up a lot. It was, I

569
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: don't know, it's fun to see like the scorebug change

570
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: on S and Y. It was funny to see the

571
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: players that were like cheering from the different seasons. Crazy

572
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: to see, Yeah, I'm Rosario and Mike Conford like congratulating

573
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: Pete like in the dugout. I'm like, dab, that's crazy.

574
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: So cool to see the pitchers too, We shit these

575
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: home runs off of guys like Kyle Barroclaw, John Lester,

576
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: like Madison Bumgarner, like seeing the other rations of pitchers

577
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: that he's run through the last few years.

578
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: It was.

579
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: It was cool. It's like I think, I don't want,

580
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: don't expect anybody to watch all eighty two minutes of it,

581
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: but just like pen through it. I like going back

582
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: and seeing the four hundred ninety foot one he hit

583
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: in Minnesota that got to the third deck, that scared

584
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: their shit out of the middle aged father up there.

585
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: He was like, oh my god, how that ball hit there.

586
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: He's like shielding his like family from him. Was that

587
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: off of McGill's brother. I think it was right myself

588
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: a Trevor. I don't think it was. I think he

589
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: has the one off McGill's brother, but I think it

590
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: was off just some random like seeing Wilson Ron was

591
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: supporting Pete. Pete Alonso makes me feel weird about like

592
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: these last few years of METS. I was half right,

593
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: it's Matt muggill. Yeah, yes, that's hilarious, but it's just cool.

594
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: I love Pete. I hope he's in me forever. We

595
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: don't know if he will be or if he won't be.

596
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: I just I hope he isn't. The last thing to

597
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: talk about the game two, such a dog. Lindor just

598
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: didn't have a good game. It's that bat pop up

599
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: stunk with the bases loaded, was brutal. The only at

600
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: bat of the game. He didn't strike out then, So yeah,

601
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: that one sucked.

602
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, and he we saw him get Matt though

603
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: for the first time since he tried to fight Jeff McNeil,

604
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: which was or maybe he did fight Jeff McNeil. When

605
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: he was running after a drop third strike, he clearly

606
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: went onto the grass. He was very much out of

607
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: the big slide. Like the umpire made the right call.

608
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: It sucks because they never make that call unless you

609
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: actually hit the guy, and Lindor didn't get hit.

610
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: But Techli was right. Mendoz even talked about after the game.

611
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: He was like, I couldn't tell how far he was

612
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: out of the line from the Doug guy.

613
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: He was about further review.

614
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: He was a little bit further than I thought like,

615
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 2: But I like seeing that Lindor got mad. Carls Mendoza

616
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: came out, gave it to the umpires. Two was yelling

617
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: stuff that we've missed from this Mets team in the past,

618
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: a little bit of passion, a little bit of excitement,

619
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: a manager that can get up out of the dugout

620
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: and say something to the umpire without like taking twenty

621
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: five minutes to walk back.

622
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: It was nice to see. It wasn't that to see.

623
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: And this kind of brings us into the game on

624
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 1: Sunday where Lindor made up Prolavis. He had the big

625
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: home run to tie the game, but Hoose Katana did

626
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: something that no Mets pitcher has done this year, and

627
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: that was complete seven innings, which it sucks to say

628
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be made this week, but he won

629
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: uped it and then he made it better, completed eight innings.

630
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,239
Speaker 1: He did six more outs and any other met has

631
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: gotten this year, which is remarkable. It's really cool and

632
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: something that again, as we've gone through this month and

633
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten much length from rotation, this team desperately

634
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: needed and also was a major prelude to the Mets

635
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: finding way to win this game because by him throwing

636
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: eight innings, we didn't have to use the glue. Guy

637
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: read Garrett early. That made Regat available for the extra

638
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: where he shut down the Cardinals over two innings. Edward

639
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: Diez been pitching clean knife that's just we can see

640
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: now like the little like the cascading effect it has

641
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: when you're starting pitchers, give you length and you could

642
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: use the better bullpen piece when you really need them.

643
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: And how great is this team because if he didn't

644
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: do that, I don't think I'm about to win this game.

645
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: And just shout out him for a very good start

646
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: and what's been a pretty rocky season. Guy's full season

647
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: era down to three point four eight. It started in

648
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: the fives before the game started, So just another reminder

649
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: to everyone how small these sample sizes still are. After

650
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: a muscle games that we can still really move these

651
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: stats around the lives. We see Francisco Lindoor is a

652
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: ops click all the way back up to seven hundred

653
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: again too. Yeah.

654
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: Eight innings, three hits, one or run, one walk, three k's.

655
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: He threw ninety nine pitches, sixty eight of them strikes.

656
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: He just attacked the Cardinal series. That's what you have

657
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 2: to do. Don't let these guys get on base because

658
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 2: they're just not really hitting for much. It's Wilson Contraras

659
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: who is the guy who's provided most of the power.

660
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: Nolan Aronado has a home run on the season. Paul

661
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: Goldschmidt seeing too eight weird thing from the stadium on Saturday.

662
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: People were very loudly booing Paul Goldschmidt, and I didn't understand,

663
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: why has he done anything to the nets my forgetting something.

664
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: I think mess might hate the Cardinals. He could have

665
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: had comments I don't know about. But I don't know.

666
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: I think the Carlin Mets fans just hate the Cardinals.

667
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: But Goldschmid, to me, has always been one of the

668
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: most anybody else, He's one of the most one, most

669
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: university like players. I feel like in the league, like

670
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: he's never really done anything that's like, give me any

671
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: kind of derision at all towards him, but also just

672
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: love to see like attack zone like you said, also

673
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: well placed curve balls when he really needed them, getting

674
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: through that eight ending striking out. Wilson contraris to end it.

675
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: Who has been the Carls best hit there by far.

676
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Lost of motions, Katana, a guy who's usually very even

677
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: killed on the mount. The most emotion I think we've

678
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: seen from him as a Met, mostly because this is

679
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: the first time he's pitched as a Met the team's

680
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: been even within striking distance of five hundred because yeah,

681
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: last year he had a broken rib. A stress fraction

682
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: is his rib from a tumor in his stomach that

683
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: somehow Mets medicals missed when they did the physicals. Again,

684
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: somehow you do a picture one elbow, two shoulder three

685
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 1: tumors like that would be my one two three if

686
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm giving pitchers physicals, and again Mets missed it somehow,

687
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: But amazing getting inythings from him, said, Team up to win.

688
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: Lindor hit the huge home run lefty opposite field off

689
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: of fat fuck lance Lynn, asshole lance Lynn, who just

690
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: was add nothing like always just getting mestayers out left

691
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: and right. But this going on congruently with Knicks Game two.

692
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: It tied up perfectly to get to the end of

693
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: this game as the Knicks beat the buzzy seventy six

694
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: Ers and just get.

695
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: To we missed all the awful parts of this game.

696
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: We missed the first seven innings of this game because

697
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I was watching Nicks. I was locked in,

698
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: and that game was unbelievable. One of the best basketball games,

699
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: and that comes off of being at one of the

700
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: best basketball games I've ever watched.

701
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: But it was back and forth great. I fucking hate

702
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: Joel and b Heyte Kyle Lowry, Hey, I absolutely hate

703
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry, Campaign too, can go fuck himself. I kicked

704
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: the Sixers, Fuck Philadelphia. I can't hate Campaign because he's

705
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: such an idiot and his bad shot selection was a

706
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: huge reason Nicks were able to get back in this game,

707
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: and they were down ten, they were going crazy three. Yeah,

708
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: and he's just on defense. He's a complete mess most

709
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: of the time as well, Like he does the thing

710
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: where he lets you get by him and tries to

711
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: steal the ball, which works like one eighth of the time,

712
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: and it worked literally once today. But also allowed Jalen

713
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: Bruns and Josh Hart to blow by him a few times.

714
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: But this Knick Sixer series has me like in sense

715
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: I feel like rabid watching this as a Knicks fan

716
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: because I've always not liked this team. But the next

717
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: sorry guys for Knicks talk for not to basketball. We're

718
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: doing for like two more minutes. Yeah, it's gonna be

719
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: two minutes. Yeah, but the Knicks and Sixers, like thinking

720
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: about it. I was talking to my family and like

721
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: some friends about this the wedding yesday. It's a rivalry,

722
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: but it's never really been a rivalry because they've never

723
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: been congruently really good ever in the team's shared histories,

724
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: because the Knicks were really good, like way back in

725
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: the sixties, Sixers weren't that good. One Sixers got good,

726
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Nick suddenly sucked. And then in the nineties when the

727
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Knicks got good, the Sixers were horrific. And then the

728
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: second AI got to the Sixers when Knicks got bad again,

729
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: and then we got the last like ten years Knicks

730
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: have not been good. Now right now, finally like the

731
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: first time ever we've been good at the same time

732
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: and have this playoff series where and beads being a

733
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: dirty fuck every single play he does dirty every play

734
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: he's did you hear.

735
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: Richard Jefferson or not Richard Jefson? Ruco was like, what

736
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: he stept on Josh.

737
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: Was Josh Hart? Yeah, what do you step? Stepped on

738
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: the shin?

739
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: When he stept on Josh Hart, she goes, I'm not

740
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: gonna say that was intentional. He goes, but that didn't

741
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: feel like it was an accident. And also it was

742
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: like whoa the announcer calling him out.

743
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: There was the play where Jalen Brunson fell on the

744
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: ground and Kyle Lowry stepped on him and tripped to

745
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: get three free throws where you've slowed down the replay

746
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: John Joeln Bead sticks his foot out and trips Jalen Brunson,

747
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: and then and then the elbow, the big play where

748
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, who is so usually the most even keeled,

749
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: simple like quiet assassin in the world, Joel and beat

750
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: sticks of four I'm out puts it right in uh

751
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: In Brunson's face. He's fighting around his screeners, gotting to

752
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: get up the floor. Jaylen Bruston talked shit to him.

753
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: He said, what was this for? What was this for

754
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 1: what was this for? And then from them they think

755
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: next a down ten to that point too, And from

756
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: that moment Jaylen Brunson was quite literally possessed. And then

757
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: as this happened, Knicks fans completely took over Wells farg

758
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: Arena and Bead was pissy about that. After the game,

759
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: there were these comments, Yeah, he the pissed it. It's

760
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: supposed to be a good sports loser. Did you see

761
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: after the game that we put a Knick jersey on

762
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: the Wilt Chamberlain statue. I saw that we're doing some

763
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: really wild shit. We got to win Game five and

764
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: just get out of the series and not go back

765
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: there because we've been a little bit out of pocket.

766
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: Knicks fans, we also deserve it because we should always

767
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: be out of pockets. This team's awesome, but the fucking Nicks. Yeah,

768
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: that was five minutes Nicks talks. Sorry about that, guys,

769
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: And then again that game. You know how I'm gonna

770
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: tie back into each other. Though.

771
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: God, I wish Mets fans could bring that same energy

772
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: as Knicks fans. I wish we could have that, because boy,

773
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: oh boy, it is fun being that level of intolerable

774
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: at times.

775
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: It is, but I think just the Knicks, right, the

776
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: Knicks have like a stragglehold on New York City. I

777
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: don't think any other team will ever have because the

778
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: Nets are fake, no one, no New York is actually

779
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: like no shit about that. And like the New York

780
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: is really split between Mets and Yankees, and Yankees do

781
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: have the more rabid fans, Like we got a lot

782
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: of Yankees fans that make the Knicks fans so crazy,

783
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: Like and we hate Yankees fans, but when they're in

784
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: Masacre Garden, I love them. I don't really give a

785
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: shit it. We're great, we're friends. But I just think

786
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: and also like it's like the Mets do get like this,

787
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: Like twenty twenty two felt like this for a while

788
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: when the team was ripping and we had that those

789
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: like series in like August and early September before the

790
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: Dodgers Dodgers series and the Brave series before we totally

791
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: fell apart. Those series and City Field were like fucking special,

792
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: like they were awesome. Like it felt like every single

793
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: night there were barely any seats open that park. Every

794
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: single pitch people were locked into when the ground was

795
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: on his raun shares that was pitching well, everybody was hitting.

796
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: Like those games did feel like what the Mets with

797
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: Cityfield strives to be again. I think the City, I feel,

798
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: keeps kind of moving more away from baseball and more

799
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: towards weird things like fan engagement and engagement. Yeah, but

800
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna just see what happens to summer. Like hope

801
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: police funds the roster and the farm says, and we

802
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: tell you guys about every week. Seems like it's getting

803
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: good enough that will be there again soon. But the Knicks,

804
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: just the Knicks just have a special place. Never in

805
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: New York is hard and like everybody comes together. It's

806
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: like it's like that famous like crips and blood meat.

807
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: We've tweeted that a few times, like Mets and Yankees.

808
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: When the Knicks are playing well, like we just we

809
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: we don't carre any arms around you like anything. Fuck Philly,

810
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: just let's win the series. But that game ends and

811
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: we get right to the eighth inning of this Mets game.

812
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: Katana gets out of it, he gets Wilson chairs out

813
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: Edwin Diez comes in, still looks a little bit off,

814
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: but he was disgusting still though, but he's like weird

815
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: I told you it's the Slyther. It's not that that's

816
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: worrying me. Not the fastball, like he always throws the

817
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: back of me up, Slyer. It's a weird pitch, but

818
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: it works for him because it's just the fastball is

819
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: so good. I think maybe not the fastball is a

820
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: little bit less good. The slider seems hit. He had

821
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: one that was a meatball known or not that we

822
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: still couldn't. Oh yeah, we got so lucky this, but

823
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: they also he still seem so uncomfortable a hold it back.

824
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: He was multiple checks swings, same with gold Smith like it.

825
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: He still looks really good. It's this is just crazy

826
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: first world problems that Edwin diazras. But I think either

827
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: one or just barely under its point. And I think

828
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: his k raised till like fifty percent, and we're like,

829
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't really feel right, But again he does it.

830
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: But he did got to an andy eight miles hour again. Today.

831
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I think we're like less than a month away from

832
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: the first Mets hundred mile and hour pitching a year

833
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: and a half. Can't wait. I can't wait. I'm so

834
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: excited for that, to see that hundred I want to

835
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: a pure hundred. There's no ninety nine point six is

836
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: I want one hundred point zero on that. That's what

837
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna count. But still great, and it's amazing that

838
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: we can have edwind Das pitch against the hart of

839
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: the Oer the ninth inning because we have Reed Garrett

840
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 1: hanging out waiting for extra innings to be the shutdown guy.

841
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: For him to get through two winnings extra innings, give

842
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: up one under and run, one ghost runder the score

843
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: and a ghost runder that maybe shouldn't even have scored.

844
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: It's just I say it again. He leads major League

845
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: Baseball and wins this year. A lot of that has

846
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,239
Speaker 1: been the mess timely hitting, but also he has been

847
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: the most important player in this roster. He has up

848
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: until today.

849
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: Because the White Sox ended up sweeping the Rays, Reid

850
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: Garrett had five wins. The White Sox got their six

851
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: win today. The Marlins have six wins. Red Garrett almost

852
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: as as many wins as the Miami Marlins. That team

853
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: is terrible six and twenty three ikes.

854
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot it's gonna change in Baseball

855
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: two when we get to like an All Star break

856
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: and someone like Reid Garrett. I think he's tied with

857
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: another reliever or like leading the league and.

858
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: Wins, like like you're you're gonna almost have to put

859
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: him into the ul Star giving fieves this up.

860
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he has five wins, like three

861
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: holes in a save, like why the hell not this point,

862
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: he's actually been one of the most point six, striking

863
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: out forty percent of the batters he fakes in wrote

864
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: history fancy baseball league. I think he's been one of

865
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: the twenty most valuable pitchers, the ten most value pitchers

866
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: the whole season. It's insane what he's doing, but he's

867
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: doing it again. I think it's really gonna change. There's

868
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: really gonna click everything in like baseball people's minds. When

869
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: you see Red Garrett lead the league wins at the

870
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: end of the season with eleven, you're like, pitching is

871
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: never gonna be the same again, because not but him

872
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: getting through that shings was great. A lot of people

873
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: thought that Tyron Taylor had a chance to nab I

874
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: think was Brendan Donovant Michael Sianni at home plate play

875
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: that pe cut the ball off and probably could have

876
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: turned around and gunned him. But in extra innings. I

877
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: was talking to you about this and talking to my

878
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: dad about this. You almost just the avoid the beginning.

879
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: You almost have to assume every time this ghost runners

880
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: on a weird rule that I still like but still

881
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: just weird to strategize. But still that one runs going

882
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: to scores. Man second nobody out. That's runners over a

883
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: fifty percent chance of scoring. You almost have to assume

884
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be scored. And again, first pitch fastball.

885
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: So funny that again rig Garrett throws like four fastballs

886
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: in two winnings. His entire outing. He threw twenty total pitches.

887
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: Only four of them were fastballs, which is one of

888
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: the highest percentages actually had in a few weeks. And

889
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: the one fastball is a single electrove in the run.

890
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: Those other three pitches they led with the sweeper over

891
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: the splither. It's crazy how he's pitching right now. I'm

892
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: so happy everyone the world's gotting hip to read Garett.

893
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: But the fastball did him in thought there was a

894
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: chance to get him, but did. Overall, I think, I

895
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: don't think Pete did this on purpose, but just end

896
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: no kill the ending, And I think, upon further review

897
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: to like if Pete tried to throw it at home.

898
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: No shot.

899
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: There's no way that he's going to turn and throw that. Also,

900
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: I don't trust Pete throwing at all. Don't do it,

901
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 2: not at all. The second thing would have been if

902
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: he'd just let it go through. And I don't think

903
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: Tyrone's throw was gonna get enough off of a bounce

904
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: because Sianni can fly. I didn't realize I could have

905
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: an athlete, and Heath was like marveling at how he was, Like,

906
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: I thought the should let that through, and then he

907
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: saw him make the turn around there try wow, so

908
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: I can fly like. I was pretty to watch him run,

909
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 2: and it would have been a bang bang play. I'll

910
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: say this, you would have it would have taken a

911
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: perfect throw. I think based on where he was, you

912
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: would think that they have him. Never realized how slow

913
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: Nolan Aaronado was, Like they should have had him in

914
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: Saturday's game because he was just I mean, it looked

915
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: like he was walking around the plate and they couldn't

916
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: get it done.

917
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: That would have been close.

918
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: You're right though, definitely stopped the beginning because Brendan Navin

919
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: would have still been on base, or he would have

920
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: been on second at that I think he walked the

921
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: next battery Red Garrett, and it would have been first

922
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: and second nobody out. Yes, all of a sudden, you're like,

923
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: oh shit, gonna lose by six, Like that would have

924
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: been a big problem. You stop the bleeding, you get

925
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: the big out there. Even just having a one out

926
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: and a guy on first changes the whole feel of

927
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: that In completely read, Garrett might not have been staying

928
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: in the game if they didn't get that out.

929
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: He might have come out. You don't know what I'm saying.

930
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: So I think again, like you almost have to just

931
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: let that one run score, just be okay with the

932
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: one run score and stopped the beginning because again we

933
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: came up the next inning and we were ready to go.

934
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: Two guys got out Harrison Bather, who's been a wildly

935
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: weirdly unsung hero for this Mets team all year, on

936
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: an O two pitch. For some reason, it was who

937
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: was pitching was the diegoes, No, it was still Matthew Libertos.

938
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: Matthew liberto not very good. We saw that firsthand. For

939
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: some reason, Ards Harrison Bather dead red hitter, no two fastball,

940
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: no idea. Why banks up the middle for a single.

941
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Then Mark Vento's who came in the game and got

942
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: a single pitch, hitting for pitch, hitting for baby with

943
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: labor Tor in the mound, which we're gonna talk about

944
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: this lot of mailbacksse guys had a lot of Mark

945
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: Vento's questions, but could be foreshadowing things to come. There

946
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: comes up and I think it was a two strike

947
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: pitch just laced a home run because when Viano's hits

948
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: the ball, he's got such power man to carry so

949
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: well carry. And the big thing with Viento's is that

950
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: it was a ninety seven mile on hour fastball. He

951
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: turned around, which is a huge deal because we're very

952
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: fair in the show and we said that, and it

953
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: was up in the zone. It was up in the zone.

954
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: We said in the show that Viento's I think still

955
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: blow potentials baseball player, but he doesn't play very good defense.

956
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: Coming into the season, he has not been able to

957
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: stain a walk right yet, and he can't deal with Vossy.

958
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: The major League can see lot of Lossy. I'll just

959
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: drop the stats because I have him up right now.

960
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Last season, he faced one hundred thirty one pitches ninety

961
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: five miles an hour harder. His triple slash was one

962
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: eighty four two seventy three, four to forty seven, so

963
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: still had a lot of power on those. You guys

964
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: see that four to forty seven slug, but absolutely not

965
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: enough contact. Remember he hits it, it goes far like today,

966
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: but not able to say in that consistently thirty six

967
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: percent with for eight forty two percent chase for eight

968
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: thirty percent zone contact. Right, all those are well well,

969
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: well well worse than the league average and ninety seven

970
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: mile on How are fastballs one point fifteen seventy two,

971
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: two sixty nine, triple slash forty two percent whiffs, forty

972
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: eight percent chase, twenty six percent zone contact really bad?

973
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: You just that was why he was bad last year.

974
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: That's why he wasn't getting his opportunities, and that's why

975
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to be a major leaguer. But coming

976
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: in today after the month, he had turning that pitch around,

977
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: and you guys can see the emotion that he had

978
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: running the bases. Second was second the ball hit his bat,

979
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: he knew it was gone and he was screaming blood

980
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: in the murder. The whole time he looked like he

981
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 1: was letting demons loose when he was coming around.

982
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: He said at when he when he scored at home,

983
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: he stood outside like the dugout and he's like he

984
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: screamed as if like that was like years of frustration

985
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: that just got out of him, like like almost like

986
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: a moment where if things start to go well for

987
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 2: Mark Vino's, you'd look back on him be like that's

988
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: when it changed right there.

989
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: Did you hear what he said us to the game,

990
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: to the press, No, I didn't. What do you say

991
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: says the best feeling of my life? Wow?

992
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean listen again. Like you said, we're very fair

993
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: on the podcast, We've been hard. I've especially been very

994
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: hard on Mark Vento's and it's not from not wanting

995
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: him to do well.

996
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: It was just like, here are the facts.

997
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: I get tired of hearing idiot Mets fans at times

998
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: say stupid things that don't matter. So we want to

999
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: give you guys good information. But if he if he

1000
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: hits like this, if he stays like this, if he

1001
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: can hit Velo, if he can give us that power potential,

1002
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: he has a spot on this team. There's no reason

1003
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: why we wouldn't want him here he just has to

1004
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: prove it and hopefully this is one of those moments

1005
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 2: that helps turn him, you know, turn the page and

1006
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 2: move him forward and can be a part of this

1007
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: team that can be helpful because the power is legit.

1008
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 2: It is hard to find power like Mark Viento's has

1009
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: the potential to have.

1010
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: And he just gets that great backspin anytime. He really

1011
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: makes concept so good, carry all carries so well. Today

1012
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: he just kept going and going going, and shout out

1013
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: Michael Gianni because again as an athlete, definitely he got

1014
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: so high up in that wall and he gave every

1015
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: single inch there but wasn't enough. And this was a

1016
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: big game for the Mets, similar to last earliest wee

1017
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: against the Giants, salvage the series. A bad six game

1018
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: stretch against teams that are kind of meanderground the same

1019
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: five hundred levels of the Mets teams, you might be

1020
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: somewhat competing against the wild card. I think the Cardinals

1021
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: team sucks and they won't hang out very long. But

1022
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: since I you're great to come off the il, they're

1023
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: better than five hundred ball club, so I think they

1024
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: will might be hanging around longs. He stays healthy stank Go,

1025
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: I think gets swept that you kind of can stay

1026
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: in close to the five hundred if you avoid these sweeps,

1027
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: avoid these losing streaks, especially already having a big one

1028
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: to start the year. So not a good series, but

1029
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: a good way to end, good feelings for it to end,

1030
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: and good enough to at least had as we had

1031
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: to do a four game series against another team in

1032
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: the same NL wildcard Milange the Cubs this week. But

1033
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: before we talk about that, told you guys we got

1034
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: a listener mailbag for you today. So I'm gonnahead to

1035
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: Twitter now find some questions answered them. See what you

1036
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: guys got for us.

1037
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you pick the first one there, James,

1038
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 2: because I'm looking up Brett Baty numbers because he got

1039
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: hurt against Pittsburgh, right, he got hurt in that last

1040
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: game against Pittsburgh, missed a game i'd have been the first.

1041
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: Game that year. Is the last game against the Royals

1042
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: series before.

1043
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: I think I think it was Pittsburgh because he came

1044
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 2: out of the game early on sixteenth, and then he

1045
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: sat the next day, sat a couple more, and then

1046
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: played the last two in La, So I think he

1047
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 2: was hurt there, but since he got hurt, not including today,

1048
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: he was two or two for twenty, hitting one hundred

1049
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: with a three seventeen ops. If you guys have noticed,

1050
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 2: bread Bay's numbers have dropped. Got a double today though.

1051
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: That was big to see him get an extra base hit.

1052
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: Maybe that hamstring or whatever was going on with him

1053
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: is feeling a little bit better, but he's looked pretty

1054
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: terrible to play recently.

1055
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: Did he hit that ball hard? Did he pull it?

1056
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: Was it lifted? I wasn't watching that play. Did you

1057
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: see it either? Just hit it? He got a double?

1058
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: Double in the books, double in the books.

1059
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, we were watching the next game. I mean,

1060
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you, guys. We were locked

1061
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: into the next game. A little box score watching here.

1062
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: But even from a mental side, it's gotta be nice

1063
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: to just get a double totally, and I think again,

1064
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: the first question will do this mail bag is just

1065
00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: about Vento's We had a sloppy shatya. That's funny. He

1066
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: asked us about him. Joey sports fan Joey asks about

1067
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: baby da Mets fan asked us about baby nym Mets

1068
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: memes asked us about baby Everybody did not hit it hard. Yeah,

1069
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people seventy six months now, Yeah, okay,

1070
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: there it goes. But a lot of people ask us

1071
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: about about being Baby Vano's, and I think that Mendoza

1072
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: answered pretty well after the game, like what do you

1073
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: think the role is going forwards? Like it's give me

1074
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: lamp tomorrow. I think that's kind of the way this

1075
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: is being played with Viento's. He's only up here because

1076
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: dalging Market hit the brievement list over the weekend. Shadow

1077
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: Marte the family don't know what that is, but I

1078
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: hope everything's okay. Viento's does things that Bet doesn't do.

1079
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: Baby does things that Viano doesn't do. Baby's a much

1080
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: better defensive player. Fiano's just simply hits the ball in

1081
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: the air harder, more consistently. Baby started off the year

1082
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: really hot. That like he was breaking out. We told

1083
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: you guys last episode. Now it's become much more public

1084
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: knowledge because usually messed up podcast about twelve twenty four

1085
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: hours ahead of everyone else, way faster. You know, Steve

1086
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: Gelb was told like the story that we told on

1087
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: this podcast about oh what player was it? But what

1088
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: oh it was about Batty?

1089
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: It was about like the baby confidence thing talk with

1090
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: Mendoza and all that kind of stuff, and he told

1091
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: it like two days later Stevie Gelbbs, I means a

1092
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: little late to the party there, but moon.

1093
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: Fay, Steve Gelps the nicest guy, nicest guy in media.

1094
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: But I just I don't think that. I don't think

1095
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna send down Joey Wendell. He's on a guarantee

1096
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: contract and he does something neither of them can do,

1097
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: just play very consistent infield defense. And he hasn't done

1098
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: it yet, I know, but I still believe that someone

1099
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: who's done it forever WI can do it at some point.

1100
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: And he could do that second or short and if

1101
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: need be where these guys definitely cannot. But I don't

1102
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: know if he has like three more if has three

1103
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: more hard hit balls tomorrow like who or today? I

1104
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: guess when you guys are listening, like who knows, Like

1105
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 1: maybe Baty has an option. D Stewart has an option,

1106
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: like if he proves himself that he can be here,

1107
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: he might have to be. But I also just he

1108
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: was not on this team for a reason. I don't

1109
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: think that this team would let like two games of

1110
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: sample size change that it'll be interesting to see if

1111
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: maybe I can pull up the pitching matchups now with

1112
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: this Cup series jumping ahead a little bit, but I'm

1113
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: sure it gets tough. What is that? It's as simple

1114
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: as this.

1115
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: With Viento's right now, he doesn't play second base or

1116
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: shortstop really or really third base, and while Joey Wendell,

1117
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 2: god forbid, he plays short stop, like I really hope

1118
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 2: we don't have that, but we don't have another middle

1119
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 2: infielder right now that can just come into the game

1120
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: besides Joey Wendall if Lindoor or McNeil something goes wrong

1121
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 2: with them, or they need a break, or they feel weird,

1122
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: whatever it is, So like it makes it a little

1123
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: bit tough for a guy like Viento's to find a

1124
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 2: spot on this team unless he forces their hand and

1125
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 2: hits as well as he has in this tiny little

1126
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: sample we've.

1127
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: Seen well, and that was also the same before. I

1128
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: don't think there's any chance that Wendell's the guy that

1129
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: gets sent down. I think people want him off this roster.

1130
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: I think with either the Stewart or Baby, and those

1131
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: guys are both lefties, so then you're kind of losing

1132
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: a matchup advantage there, and again like this was something

1133
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: that baby didn't have the best spring, Those underlying stats

1134
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: were a lot better in the spring, Like he was

1135
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: lifting the ball more and pulling it more and chasing less.

1136
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: He's doing all those right now. Worsting basically ever has

1137
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: his whole career, which is really really troubling signs. So

1138
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: maybe the Mets of seeing that and it might just

1139
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: be time to give Vienzo's a shot here. But again,

1140
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: also they've been seemingly been really concerned with matchups, so

1141
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why if they would send down lefties,

1142
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: especially as j J. Martinez just came back and now

1143
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be the everyday DH on a right handed bather.

1144
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: That makes again, this was what we said when Benjie

1145
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: Martinez was signed. It just makes a little sense to

1146
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: have vandals on this rosters. Guys are a little bittraneous

1147
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: with each other, unless they trust Viendo's to play third,

1148
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: which they did today briefly, but I don't know if

1149
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: they would do that long term. He did win them

1150
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: the game. But also we can't let one event that

1151
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: happened to baseball field maybe change something that they know

1152
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: more about but also I don't know. Baby's not playing

1153
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: well right now at all, Like there's not no bait.

1154
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: Viandos might give this team more. It's just we don't

1155
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: really know. But I'll support whatever they do.

1156
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna say, like, yeah, baby hit the

1157
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: ball hard on his two outs today he hit one

1158
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety nine, But yeah, he's he's just not

1159
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: been really hitting the ball consistently hard since that a

1160
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: little bit of a hot start to the season.

1161
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: It's tough.

1162
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: It's like the lamest answer ever, but you do need

1163
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 2: some of that defensive versatility and the fact that Mark

1164
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: Fiendo doesn't give us any when we have no middle infielders,

1165
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 2: like it's it's the choice between him and Wendell and

1166
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: you're DJ Stewart's playing good baseball guys like kind of

1167
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 2: can't send kind of can't send Dj Stewart down when

1168
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 2: he's rocking what like a three seventy on base percentage

1169
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 2: right now on the year, Like, how do you send

1170
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 2: that guy down? He's everything we thought Daniel Vogelback.

1171
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: Was gonna be. Like no, and again it is kind

1172
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: of lame too. But the few things that Viennzo has

1173
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: already done this year. Probably things that the Mets were like,

1174
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: these are the reasons that you're not on the roster

1175
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: Andy Martinez as well. True, but also the fact that

1176
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: his defense was bad and they right in away put

1177
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: him in the field today. So either again I don't

1178
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: know anything about how he was playing defense Triple A,

1179
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: but the fact they were comfortable enough to do it.

1180
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: It's probably good use for Vienna's the VELAs he's been

1181
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: a big deal for him. We just talked about the stats,

1182
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: talked to him a lot last year, have tweeted about

1183
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: him many times. Immediately comes in it's a game winning

1184
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: homer of ninety seven on our fastball. The walker is

1185
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: something he's never been able to stay, and I think

1186
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: he only walked like once or twice all spring training

1187
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: this year with Syracuse Triple A. He had one of

1188
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: the best walk rates in twenty game stample that he's

1189
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: had as a Mets as a professional baseball player. So

1190
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: those things happening in small samples is probably like that

1191
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: he's doing everything he can, everything you're telling him to

1192
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: try and be better within his limitations of talent. But

1193
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what's gonna happen. It's

1194
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: a very awkward situation right now, but just does probably

1195
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: mean that as much as we want one of these

1196
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: guys to be the forever third basement every day kind

1197
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: of a little bit less likely. I still think Baby

1198
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: has more in his toolbox to do it long term.

1199
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: But our buddy Michael Morgan asked us today a question

1200
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: just like to lead into this, we kind of end

1201
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: this low Baby Marte, not Baby Viento's so Wendel discussion,

1202
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: at what point we would assume bretpayone ever lift the ball.

1203
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he's garbage or anything, but this is

1204
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: the same issue of Ladd Junior's had with twenty five

1205
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: miles now or less average Xvivlasi seems while for a

1206
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: hitter as talented is him not to be able to

1207
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: add justin mechanics It does seem that way, But I

1208
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: think I've heard hitting coaches talk about this is one

1209
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,959
Speaker 1: of the hardest things a hitter can do. Start listening

1210
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: the ball. It's taking Alec Bohm, like what, six hundred

1211
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball games to figure this out. But now

1212
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: he's figured it out. So sometimes the patient is rewarded,

1213
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: but sometimes you just can't afford that patient. And it

1214
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: just depends on your organization, depends on the rest of

1215
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: your roster. It's hard to tell. But I don't think

1216
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: we can ever assume that because we see guys sometimes

1217
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: figure this out much later in their careers. We saw

1218
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: jose Abatitza figure this out when he was like thirty,

1219
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: So JJ Martinz figured out when he was like there,

1220
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: Josh Donaldson, That's what I'm saying, Like, it's just everyone's different.

1221
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need the right coach, the right situation, the

1222
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: right moment, the right day, the right drill to do this,

1223
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: and we don't. We're not in the rooms. We don't know,

1224
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: But that's just kind of it. Sometimes you can never

1225
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: assume never, but it depends how much patience they have.

1226
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: I think they have some, but I don't know if

1227
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: they have a ton. Yeah, I think Baty probably is

1228
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: going to have to start to hit again at some point.

1229
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: It's just we can't have right now, like four batters

1230
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: with a six hundred ops in the lineup when there's

1231
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity to maybe get some juice out of somebody else.

1232
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: But I'm by no means, and I don't think you

1233
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: are either done with Brett Batty. I'm still there. He's

1234
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: still too good of a baseball player to be playing

1235
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: the way he is. It's just now we're seeing more

1236
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: and we have to maybe calm ourselves a little bit

1237
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: with how that season started and see where it currently

1238
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 1: is at, because he has like a six to twenty

1239
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: ops right now, and he's doing all the underlying stuff

1240
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: worse than he did last year, which and that was

1241
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: the confident thing for means to bring training, is why

1242
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: I was telling you guys so excited for him, tweeting

1243
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: bat all the time. But even still, like Carlsmydoz, as

1244
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: a young manager, still seems very ractionary. I think Baby

1245
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: was hitting clean up what like eleven games ago, and

1246
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: now he's hitting eighth. Like it's like, probably shouldn't be

1247
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: moving a young player around that much either. Now he's

1248
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 1: seeing in these small samples that he's not getting results,

1249
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: and now you perceive him so differently, Like instead of

1250
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: going up to four and down to eight, just maybe

1251
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: leave him at six or seven so we're not making

1252
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: the kid freak out. But again, like I think, though

1253
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: has been an amazing overall exceptionally gets it the age

1254
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: of book. But that's the one thing that I'm just like,

1255
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 1: just give these guys a little bit consistency here, especially

1256
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: as these guys are like, I don't know, it's nerve

1257
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: wracking time. You're trying to create this job for life.

1258
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: You're trying to prove you belong with for baby. Talk

1259
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: about that specifically, and that's that confidence thing that he needs.

1260
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: And he seems like he's still playing with me at

1261
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: bats are still mostly pretty good, but he's got to

1262
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: the underlying stuff better. I we're gonna think he's ever

1263
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: gonna really become the guy we want to be. Steve

1264
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: Gebbl's away on the DJ Stewart story, it just clicked

1265
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: about like the locker, the going up to his locker

1266
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: telling him you belong here or whatever.

1267
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 2: So the other thing to talk about Christian Scott. A

1268
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: lot of you guys want to talk about Christian Scott.

1269
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 2: A lot of questions about when's he gonna come up.

1270
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: We saw Howser struggle again. How many times we're gonna

1271
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: see this? He has an eight point five era. Christian

1272
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: Scott's been tearing up Triple A, even Joey Luke as

1273
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 2: he's been pitching well in Triple A and we've got McGill,

1274
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 2: we've got Peterson who're on their way back. They should

1275
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: be around maybe in the summertime, early June. Whatever it's

1276
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 2: gonna be.

1277
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: What do we do? Is it time to call up

1278
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: Christian Scott?

1279
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 2: I know that I think he pitched today, right James,

1280
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 2: And then if you keep with the schedule, that would

1281
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 2: mean that Thursday or Friday that could be the day

1282
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 2: or Friday could be the day that Christian Scott gets

1283
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 2: called up to pitch for the New York Mets.

1284
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: I would love to see it happen.

1285
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 2: No disrespect to Adrian Howser, but he's pretty expendable at

1286
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: this point if this is how he's gonna pitch, and

1287
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 2: I would just rather see some upside than hope to

1288
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: God that Adrian Houser only gives up four through five.

1289
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of where we're at right now. I

1290
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's any doubt that Christian Scott is more

1291
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: effective pitcher than Adrian Howser right now. But just the

1292
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,479
Speaker 1: way that teams call up prospect, especially pitchers, it still

1293
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: just doesn't seem like it's going to be right now.

1294
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't think that the Mets are calling up

1295
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: Christian Scott for a Thursday Day game without like enough

1296
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: fan fait. Like the Mets are very concerned with marketing

1297
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: as an organization. They're Soakers that are marketing. They're doing

1298
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: hot Dog Day and Tuesday also Brilliant Touched by the

1299
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: Mets do hot Dog Day the same day's next game.

1300
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: Five Brilliant Touch has a mistake, no chance of getting

1301
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: near the ballpark when it makes place. I really, I really.

1302
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 2: Wanted to eat like ten hot dogs for ten dollars

1303
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 2: like that would have been a great time. But also

1304
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 2: at the same time, we've got a big Knicks game

1305
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 2: and it is still is April. Yeah, and we'll see

1306
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: also off the Mets crossed for rain maybe some tuesdays

1307
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 2: so we can get a reschedule. Was using Seymour Wiener

1308
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: also in the ad was something I never would ever,

1309
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 2: for being a size organization, expected this Mets team to do.

1310
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: But it was awesome. It was probably umber having a

1311
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: little fun.

1312
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: Did you see the athletic article Will Salmon Row an

1313
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: athletical article about our friend Seymour Wiener catching up with him,

1314
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 2: asking about what he thought about all the people, all

1315
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 2: the fan for all the publicity is getting he said

1316
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 2: it was the best experience of my life. I absolutely

1317
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 2: loved it. Like basically like I got my day in

1318
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: the sun. This is the coolest that could have ever happened.

1319
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 2: Like if my name, Seymour Wiener put a smile on

1320
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 2: someone's face, that's the grace that could have ever happened

1321
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: to be. So shout out you, Seymour Wiener, ninety seven

1322
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 2: years old, fucking legend, and he's had that name forever

1323
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 2: and that's been a funny name for all time and

1324
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: even the nineteen forties. That name's hilarious.

1325
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing that's changed in the last eighty years

1326
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: an that would make that thing not funny, but shout

1327
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: at him. So yeah. I also wish we could have

1328
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: been the ballpark for the dollar hot Dog night because

1329
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: we could have made some great content. But also I'm

1330
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: sure that there's gonna be like some fine print where

1331
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: like the only these two hot dogs andres doing dollar

1332
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: hot dogs and then like you have to wait and

1333
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: or the one hundred person line to get and you

1334
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 1: can bat buy max two at the time. Like I'm

1335
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: sure something's gonna happen. So maybe you got to tell

1336
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: us on Twitter. Wee can report on that effectively next

1337
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: week we get back here. But oh yeah, it just

1338
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: it would be had we get in this topic. Oh

1339
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: Christian Scott, Christian Scott marketing. It just feels like it's

1340
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: probably be a little long, like they're gonna market Christians

1341
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: Scott's debut. This is gonna be the most anticipated Mets

1342
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: pitching debut since Steven fucking Matts. It's been a decade

1343
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: since we were excited about the Mets pitching prospect literally,

1344
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 1: And it's just I don't think we're past the Super

1345
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: two deadline yet either. We saw Jackson Hollidy get sent

1346
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: back down by the Orioles. So the service time that

1347
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: he accrued it was just before the service time with

1348
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: a full really yeah, So again it's so crazy. The

1349
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: guys always do is by accident, but now it goes

1350
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: back down. Service time doesn't even count anymore. But it

1351
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: just feels like we're not I don't know, it just

1352
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: feel like it's not gonna happen yet. It feels like

1353
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: and also again he gave another run to any Triple

1354
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: A star. He didn't get many strikeouts. Again, I still

1355
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: think he's also I got DJ stats. He had a

1356
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: great threat about Christian Scott being next great pitching prospect.

1357
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: This weekend, we also shout out of other podcast We

1358
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: got a nice quote to you from he just the Man.

1359
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: But it just doesn't seem like it's gonna happen yet.

1360
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: Like I feel like as we're seeing Tyler McGill and

1361
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: David Pears and make the rehab starts, I just I

1362
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: mes fans don't want to hear it, but I think

1363
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna get the shot before Christian Scott. This like

1364
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: the time I gave before the season was still like

1365
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: June July. It felt like could have been a Memorial

1366
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: Day if he ran through this league, and he is

1367
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: running through the league. But just it seems like you're

1368
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 1: gonna really wait. I don't think they want to rush

1369
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: this at all. I don't think they will. Yeah, it doesn't.

1370
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 2: David Sertains is not one to rush these kind of things.

1371
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 2: That's the only reason why I kind of side with you.

1372
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 2: He's just historically never been one to do that with pitching.

1373
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 2: He is pretty pretty calm and rational about what to

1374
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: use with these guys. But at some point, I think

1375
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: Howser's gonna leave the rotation if he just can't keep

1376
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: pitching like this and it might not. It's gonna drive

1377
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 2: people actually crazy when it's not Christian Scott and it's

1378
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: gonna be Joey Luke's and people are gonna freak out,

1379
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 2: even though we love Joey on here, Joey's man, friend

1380
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 2: of the great dude, awesome guy. If he ever wants

1381
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 2: to get a beer, maybe we'll come up to Sarah.

1382
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 2: You see, if Joey wants to grab a beer, I'd

1383
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 2: love to just have a beer with him at a

1384
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 2: bar in Syracuse. Now reminds me we should. I'll start

1385
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: planning that this week to go up there.

1386
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, planning that. Yeah, I'll figure that went out. I'll

1387
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: talk to our boy Carson.

1388
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 2: But but yeah, I mean like, I feel like it's

1389
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 2: probably gonna be him first before Christian Scott, just because

1390
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 2: you also have that control over Joey Lukezy. You probably

1391
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 2: want to see what you got out of a guy

1392
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 2: that you made a trade for Andy Rodriguez for see

1393
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 2: what it is.

1394
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that Master, there's a whole new regime

1395
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: they don't care about. That's a new regime. If Serians

1396
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 1: isn't an't thinking about the opportunity cost of Joey Lukezy

1397
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: because somebody it made a trade three years ago. That's

1398
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: just that's just that's just been that fair. But we're

1399
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: really dragging on here as try gets through some more questions,

1400
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: Uh something I kind of want, Hey tell me.

1401
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 2: This comes from zero? How do you feel about moving

1402
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: Lindor to the four hole? And then he went Nimo

1403
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 2: Pete j D Lindora.

1404
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm gonna say, I don't really

1405
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: hate it. I kind of like it. I'm cool with it.

1406
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: I don't either, but I think the two hole would

1407
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: break Pelonso's brain. It possibly could. Yeah, that's it's funny,

1408
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: he splits. In his career, he's actually been really good

1409
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: in the two hole compared to three, which is random.

1410
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: But I just think that it seems like we've gotten

1411
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: a long way around for this lineup, and it always

1412
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: winds up Lindor three Pete four, So it just seems

1413
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: like that's something those two might want. And I think

1414
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: just player comfortability is always more point in the lane

1415
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:15,439
Speaker 1: up construction. So if these guys like that, they feel

1416
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: more comfortable doing that, I feel like that's what we're

1417
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: gonna stick. Okay, Yeah, I mean listen, I'm willing to

1418
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: try it.

1419
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 2: It's not like the offense has been stellar by any means,

1420
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 2: so if this makes it better, sure, But I could

1421
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 2: totally see this breaking Pete's brain as well. I could

1422
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 2: see that being a possibility. It just also feels weird.

1423
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 2: Like Lindor, I feel like is one of our three

1424
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: best hitters. Hit him forth, but score runs. It's all

1425
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 2: we admitted we liked when we didn't think, Sorry, Marte

1426
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 2: in the two hole was good. They start scoring runs,

1427
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 2: it's great, let's keep rocking with it.

1428
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: Totally. There's another a funny question we have here Young

1429
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: saying Kendall, Let's say the team says, on its current

1430
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: pace five hundred team, what should you do with the

1431
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: trade deadline? Oh man, that's feel like our answers is

1432
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna be different than what actually happens.

1433
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so here's my answer. What should we do at

1434
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 2: the trade deadline? Trade luisn Helicu for anything? People still

1435
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: interested in him, take them whatever. I think you probably

1436
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: look to move a prospect or two that's lower in

1437
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 2: the organization. And I'm not gonna say like Jonah Toong specifically,

1438
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 2: but like, if there's a name that's a little bit

1439
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 2: hot that maybe feels like they're far away three four

1440
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: seasons even still, especially on the pitching side, because we know,

1441
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: relatively spig speaking, pitching prospects are like so fake at times.

1442
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 2: So if you can get some helium on some of

1443
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: these guys, I'd flip one or two for maybe a

1444
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 2: more controllable piece. I'm not talking about getting like the

1445
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 2: caliber of like a wand Soto, but if you can

1446
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 2: go out and kind of do like what they do

1447
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: with Stroman that one year and look for a guy

1448
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 2: that has two years of control to give him some prospects,

1449
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 2: I think that's the spot that makes the most sense.

1450
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: The problem is that's not always an option. I think

1451
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: it worked out that year because its possible. Like I'm

1452
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: thinking in my head right now, just top of my brain,

1453
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: I look like the Red Sox could sell, but I

1454
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: don't know how much control is on that team. Hazelsizzarla

1455
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: just got hurt. He's going to be the major cell candidate.

1456
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: The White Sox have nothing besides Eric fev who I

1457
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: told you guys about. He's a beast. He's pitching super well.

1458
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: I still won't believe him pitching super well, but I

1459
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: mean again, the Mars probably even make that trade and division.

1460
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: Everyone in the NL and the a NL Central still

1461
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: pitch playing well except the Pirates w but I think

1462
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: are gonna get hot when Skeens comes up. I just

1463
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: don't know who that controllable arm is right now that

1464
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: could be on the move. The Tigers are playing well

1465
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: enough for the don't no way the trade Schoogle, and

1466
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: I think he would cost a ton to actually get

1467
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: more than just pitching prospects. So I don't know. The

1468
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox guys stick out to me right now because

1469
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: they've been pitching so well, but I don't know who

1470
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: they would trade. I think Paveta only is one year

1471
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: control left. He's the only one that I think they

1472
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: would send off. I don't know. The Royals are playing well,

1473
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: They're not doing again. The White Sox have nothing. Maybe

1474
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: the we've got to go for you Zach Eflin, I guess,

1475
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: but he's has too good of a contract. That's like

1476
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 1: what two more years of fifteen million per Yeah, But

1477
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: like for the Rays, they're like, we can get rid

1478
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: of fifteen million dollars and get some some guys like

1479
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: they and especially because the race team looks pretty terrible

1480
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: right now they have the super ball Avis Till like.

1481
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the Rays will quit until unless the

1482
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: like ten games on their trade that line. Maybe that

1483
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: is the guy that was the big mess. It seems

1484
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: like a mess front off his last year as well,

1485
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: class screaming for Zach Eflinn come to this team. But

1486
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: maybe that's it. But I do think if his team's

1487
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: is five hundred, unless they see a move that will

1488
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: help them in twenty twenty five, I don't think they

1489
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: make it. And I think there's a better chance that

1490
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: they'll just sell a bullpen piece or two and it

1491
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,760
Speaker 1: will suck. It'll suck to see. But Treley is probably

1492
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: the first guy that you'd be like on him, even

1493
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: ont of Vino. Yeah, and he'll he'll be pissed off

1494
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: how much media he's doing in New York. But it's

1495
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: just like, that's it. And you guys remember too. It's

1496
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: a weird example. But another guy who could be that

1497
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: guy in the move Jorge Loops, pitching great for the Meds.

1498
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: Orioles traded him in twenty twenty two and people piss

1499
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: because they hadn't made the playoffs. And since since mister

1500
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: Showalter was there, but it wound up getting them a

1501
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: better piece and they wound up being better for it

1502
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: process wise as organizations. So sometimes it might feel like

1503
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: shit to not go forward in the year. Sometimes you

1504
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: just gotta trust, Like maybe maybe shouldn't trust that much.

1505
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: We still haven't seen enough, but I still trust Davis

1506
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: Stearns a lot. And it could be awkward, but that's it, Okay.

1507
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 2: I got another one here from Adam Darbelly says, how

1508
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 2: much longer of a leash is McNeil gonna have? Could

1509
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 2: we realistically see Jet take his spot by the end

1510
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 2: of the season. I don't think it's Jet. Jet has

1511
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 2: been struggling in Double A. I don't know if you

1512
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 2: guys have kept up with it.

1513
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: I think he's still walking. I think I can cust

1514
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: this weekend as well. So Rob Colonne asked questions bout

1515
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: that I don't know how the extent of the injury.

1516
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: Rob didn't want to ignore your question. But I don't

1517
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: think he's coming to Major league this year. I think

1518
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,720
Speaker 1: he has a lot more developing to do. Yes, he's definitely,

1519
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: I don't think ready just yet.

1520
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 2: McNeil is doing some concerning things, but also there's some

1521
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: stuff that isn't the absolute worst. Sweet spot percentage is

1522
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 2: not something that I necessarily love, but I've looked into

1523
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 2: it more and it kind of does tell you about

1524
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 2: when a guy's hitting the ball well enough, and he's

1525
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 2: hitting it well enough, but he's just hitting it in

1526
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 2: the air a lot, and well enough in the air

1527
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 2: is not good. Where McNeil lives is wents well enough

1528
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 2: on the ground and he can find those holes. But

1529
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 2: this is also the problem that we've known with jeffmcnil forever,

1530
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 2: is that at some point teams are just going to

1531
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 2: adjust to him, and right now he's just hitting the

1532
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 2: ball in the air way too much for somebody who,

1533
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: lack of a better terms, really doesn't have any op

1534
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 2: behind it.

1535
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: We also can't really move on f Jeff McNeil because

1536
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: the contract he has, it's not really an option. So

1537
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: I think he's just gonna do it for better worse.

1538
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: If Mauricio was here, maybe be a little more of

1539
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: a discussion, and maybe Maricio actually comes back from the

1540
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: ACL and months and maybe we see that end of

1541
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: August for September, But I don't think it's anything on

1542
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: the horizon whatsoever.

1543
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 2: And like Jeff still has like a pretty good walk rate,

1544
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 2: and he doesn't strike out like there are things that

1545
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: he still does well.

1546
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: It's just when he can't get those hits, it is.

1547
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 2: It's hard because he's pretty much an automatic out at

1548
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 2: points in the season.

1549
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sucks, but it's just I don't think this

1550
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: is a better option right now at all. And I

1551
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: think there's what we've got about like an hour here.

1552
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: There's one more question I want to talk about briefly

1553
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: because thought it was a pretty good one. I think

1554
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: is the last one again, a great question from you guys,

1555
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We did this over the media marvel this

1556
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: week because there really wasn't somebody and we're definitely not

1557
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: gonna force this. We had a couple that we thought

1558
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: were decent, but then a couple that we didn't really

1559
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: feel like they're about. So we're still gonna trash people.

1560
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: That's something we love doing the show, but when people

1561
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: deserve it, we're not gonna. We're not gonna pick it

1562
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: that when know what happens. But it's hard to do

1563
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: media marvels when you lose four to six as well. Yeah, exactly,

1564
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: And there was one we had in mine, but then

1565
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: he started looking not so bad afterwards, so we just

1566
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: push it away. But Jeff Burns, Brooklyn Mets fan, do

1567
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: you believe outfield defense has been a major contribute to

1568
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: the Mets good bullpen ra It seems like adding Bay

1569
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: there and Nimo and Marte was gonna result in better

1570
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: pitching numbers that we're seeing, and I think it feels

1571
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: that way. But if we look at the numbers, which

1572
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: OA is the Mets, Uh, that's the that's the defensive

1573
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: metric choice of the METSA podcasts been the most predictive

1574
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: shout on Mike Petrel and everyone, Tom Tangle, the Baseball

1575
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: savon crew Mets out of defense and overall defense with

1576
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: the worst than baseball this year by TRS, by OA,

1577
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: by everything. So I think that that's something because we've

1578
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: seen these guys. It could regress positively, but I think

1579
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: that actually the Mets team he arrays good right now

1580
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: in spite of the bad defense. That's something we can

1581
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: kind of hang our heads on. It's also cold City field.

1582
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: We all know about that. It's not like an easy

1583
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: place to hit. But I think we should be confidence

1584
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: in pitching. I think a lot of people think the

1585
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: bomb's gonna fall out of his pitching. Maybe maybe I'm wrong,

1586
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: maybe I'm being stupid, but I'm pretty confident Thenko that

1587
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: Sang is drowing a bullpen session on Monday and you

1588
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: guys are listening to this mcgilan, Pewterson. We're not counting

1589
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: them the same day ever again, but they're better than

1590
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: like the worst pitchers in this bullpen right now. Christian

1591
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: Scott's waiting in the wings. He's probably going to pitch

1592
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: this year as long as nothing bad happens. So it's

1593
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,919
Speaker 1: just I think that we're going to get more and better.

1594
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: Every you know, still looks good than just has the

1595
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: best adding of the year. Still confident in budo, like

1596
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Garrett's awesome, the Edwin's awesome. He's not even good yet.

1597
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Brooks rarely hasn't pitched in a week. Vino looks amazing,

1598
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Like let's hurt, Like yeah, and we're still keeping it together.

1599
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 2: Like this team's pitching and this is something that we

1600
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 2: talked about a lot, Like we made that title on

1601
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 2: the YouTube thing like best bullpen in Baseball as like

1602
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 2: kind of like a joke, but we also talked about it.

1603
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 2: We're like there's a world where like this is the

1604
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 2: modern bullpen. This is how bullpen should be used. It

1605
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 2: should be pieced together. It should be a bunch of

1606
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 2: guys with good stuff who can do a variety of

1607
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 2: different things, something that you've seen the Rays and the

1608
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: Brewers do for a few years now, and what do

1609
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 2: you know, they typically have some of the best bullpens.

1610
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 2: There's no reason to pay bullpen guys all this money,

1611
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 2: and the Mets did not do that this offseason, which

1612
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 2: I loved, and Stern.

1613
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Said then we piped into the podcast when it was

1614
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: early episodes, if we did this offseason, saying again, but

1615
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: he said, your bullpen April's not gonna same as a

1616
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: bullpenjer Lie and bullpenjer Lies, same as your bullpen Septeber.

1617
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna rotate through a lot of these guys, said

1618
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: as Hodgepodge. As this has been Mets had the six

1619
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: lowest bullpen the IRA in baseball. I mean, I agree,

1620
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: what else can we do from there? I'm gonna load

1621
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: up the strike ray right now, because I feel like

1622
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: that's also gonna be one of the best in baseball.

1623
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: It is the best pin in baseball. The Mets have

1624
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: the best strike ray of any bullpen in baseball. Let

1625
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: me see the whip load than that. Right now, the

1626
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: Mets have the fourth best whip of any bullpening are

1627
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: in baseball. This boy just be good. This bullpen has

1628
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: been holding this team together all year. Then Sierra just

1629
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: gonna answer the question from a girl Bella coming in

1630
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: real quick. But best strike best the stats for pitching

1631
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: you going to crack out minus walk great. Sierra and

1632
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: stuff plus Mets strike up minus walk great, the best

1633
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: for any ballpen in baseball just got ahead of the

1634
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians today twenty point two verus twenty point one.

1635
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: The Mets Sierra in the bullpen is the fourth best

1636
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: in baseball. Like this bit, bullpen is really Good's see

1637
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: the stuff plus just for fun, let's check it out. Yeah,

1638
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: why not, but we're here, we're here, We might as well.

1639
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Mets stuff plus bullpen is the best in baseball. There

1640
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: we go. It seems like everything is happening with this

1641
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: Mets bullpen is real and it's something we can rely on.

1642
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: And it's so cool to see something that we know

1643
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: David Searts has been good at for another organization. People

1644
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: implemented this quickly, and the fact that we're getting the

1645
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: pop up believers. Edwin's still the mat out of the

1646
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, hit a new gear. Brooks ready to look good.

1647
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: Drew Smith look better than he did the last two years. Like,

1648
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: it's so cool to see this happen, fucking Garrett, so

1649
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: happy to see that. That's propab believer, so happy to

1650
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: see this shit happened quickly, and it'd be functional and

1651
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: it'd be very literally holding this team together to the

1652
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: first month of this season. Yes, no, it's been the

1653
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: most important thing on this team.

1654
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 2: It's not even a question that the bullpen is why

1655
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 2: we are a game above five hundred right now, almost

1656
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: through the entire month of April. We've been talking for

1657
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 2: an hour. Let's quickly do the Cubs preview. There's not

1658
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 2: actually that much to really preview. It's a four game

1659
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: series against them. The Cubs are just kind of playing

1660
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 2: some decent baseball. They're decent little team. What are the

1661
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 2: pitching matchups for this one, James.

1662
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Pitching matchups this series? Four game set, three seven o'clock

1663
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: game the city Field and the Thursday Mattinee that will

1664
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: both be in attendance for. Plus my colleg room may

Speaker 1: and Mark and I gonna inundate them with sports for

1667
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: a few days. That's our life. Monday night, half an

1668
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: ace off here a couple of guys who will love

1669
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: to be hurt, but are healthy right now. Former Yankees

1670
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: Luis have reunovers James and ti On Tayan has come

1671
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: off the iel. It's been really good so far this year.

1672
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Tuesday a game that we're in. I can see a

1673
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: pitch over ninety three miles an hour. Sean and I

1674
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: versus Javier Asad Wednesday night, and actually I saw this game.

1675
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: I am stupidly excited for Jose bu versus Shotaga.

1676
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 3: Nice.

1677
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: And then Thursday, Mattinee at the game that of course

1678
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be attended for Adrian Houser versus Ben Brown.

1679
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:21,959
Speaker 1: Brown's fine.

1680
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 2: I want to see another Adrian Hawser start. I think

1681
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 2: I've seen every city field start and he's made this year.

1682
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: This is like fucking Carlos Carrasco all over again. Oh

1683
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 2: my god, but I can't handle it. I would love

1684
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 2: to see Shota on Wednesday. I know you're gonna be busy.

1685
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 2: I might sneak in for that one.

1686
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: I thought we're doing trivia once and we're doing trivia once,

1687
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: trivia like a mon Yeah, we are doing Man, that's tough. Yeah,

1688
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: you know what. TV's in the bar. What do you mean,

1689
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: TV's in the bar.

1690
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 2: TV's in the bar. And you know what, you won't

1691
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 2: be able to appreciate Shota at the field. You don't

1692
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: get to see it actually on TV.

1693
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: You get to see it. And I want to talk

1694
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: about showtak quickly because he's someone that I wanted the

1695
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: off season, someone that you, just like Eric Fetti, were

1696
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: wrongly against just because you were trying to be a

1697
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: little baseball hipster. He's yeah, this small sample, but he's

1698
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: quickly becoming like one of my major pitcher crushes. He

1699
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: has I think one of lows Ray's ever for players

1700
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: first five starts in the major leagues. He's given up.

1701
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 2: I think, I think, yeah, what was the stat? Just

1702
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 2: wait till he comes to the city field. The raucous crowd,

1703
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 2: the fan engagement, queens, who's gonna fuck him up?

1704
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: We haven't seen the Queen's crew in a month. I

1705
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: don't know where they They're here on Saturday. Okay, you're

1706
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: just gonna be doing weekends. Okay, that's cool. I still

1707
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: sport the Queen's Crew always, even though they took our money.

1708
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: But chote Mony quickly become one of the most fun pitchers.

1709
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Chatti Minaga become of the best pitches in the league.

1710
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: His fastball is it's so sexy, it's incredible. One sixty

1711
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: x wobocan fourth lowest for any fastball in the league,

1712
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: tenth lowest for all pitches, and just that means that

1713
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: the pitlers cannot make contact in this pitch, and the

1714
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: contact that hitters make is really poor contacts, getting a

1715
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:44,479
Speaker 1: lot of pop ups, a lot of weak fly balls.

1716
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: No one's doing damage against it, and the wifth rate

1717
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: in the striker ray look aren't even really that good

1718
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: in terms of fastballs. But it's such a unique pitch

1719
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: in terms of it's very, very very flat approach angle

1720
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: and the crazy rising action has the pitches gets on lefties,

1721
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: especially so well and so quickly, even though it doesn't

1722
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: even come in that hard watched down TV this week,

1723
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: it's a levitating pitch. The guy's ridiculous. He's also given

1724
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: up I think like two barrels the whole year, none

1725
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: on his splither, which has been a really, really good

1726
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: secondary pitch as well. He's super super super cool, super awesome.

1727
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Looks like a crazy bargain for this Cubs team. He's

1728
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: point nine to eight ERA four and on in his

1729
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: five stars. Twenty eight strikeouts, twenty eight innings and twenty

1730
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts also go with let's see im the en runs.

1731
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: This guy has three total learn runs and only three walks.

1732
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: He's been completely lights out, fueling this Cups team through

1733
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: a hot start and he's again it feels like the

1734
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Code that Second thing all over again, where people were

1735
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: scared about some things that have all been mitigated very quickly. Yeah,

1736
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: so he's looked really good on the offensive side of things.

1737
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 1: Got a familiar face coming to town.

1738
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 2: James Picrow Armstrong, the prospect that probably was what we

1739
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:51,479
Speaker 2: thought Jered Kalnick was gonna be. Pikrow Armstrong. He's looked really,

1740
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 2: really good since getting his call up back to the majors.

1741
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 2: Hit first, soil run, hit a double, has been hitting

1742
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 2: the ball hard. He's a freak athlete. He's gonna make

1743
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 2: crazy plays out in center field. He's looked really good.

1744
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 2: Cody Bounder and say Suzuki on the il. So you're

1745
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 2: gonna see and old New York Faithful, Mike Talkman, the

1746
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 2: Sockman who has just been getting on based like crazy

1747
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 2: because of course he does Mike Man a lot of

1748
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 2: mics on the season. Michael Bush has been hitting the

1749
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,479
Speaker 2: ball really well. Dansby Swanson, you know, I'm not gonna

1750
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 2: say anything about Dansby, but you know who he is.

1751
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:19,919
Speaker 2: And Christopher Morel, I'm telling you right now, is gonna

1752
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 2: hit a big hold run in them for this series.

1753
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna happen. Christopher Morell had probably the

1754
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: hottest first two three weeks this season, since then has

1755
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: had one of the coldest two three weeks for anybody.

1756
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 2: That's Christopher Morrell. That's what happens when you are hobby

1757
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 2: by his light essentially.

1758
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: And also the play discipline was really good, like similar

1759
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: to the vaulping and suddenly got really bad again. So

1760
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: kind of weird how that's going on. But Michael Bush

1761
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: had been awesome this year. They got him basically for

1762
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: free from the Dodgers because Dodgers just have too many

1763
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: good players. Dance By Swanson weirdly has no ps. That's

1764
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: the same asscln door. But the the the yeah, the

1765
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: the rhetoric is a little different. O. The door makes

1766
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: a lot more money in him. He's also a lot

1767
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: better than him, so I going to say that. But

1768
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: Saya was one of the best hitlers in baseball and

1769
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: he went on the IL League. I had him in

1770
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: every single fantasy league. I was so excited about that start.

1771
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: Of course, or he posed the old bleak, but he's

1772
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: still awesome. Miguel Amaya has been an interesting little player

1773
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: for them behind the play because Jan Gomes just has

1774
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: always swung a pool noodle and Amaya has a home

1775
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: run for young Gomes this series. Yeah, it's gonna be

1776
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: a lot. But again, Maya has not been great, but

1777
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just he's like an infusion of youth

1778
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: that lesisn't back there. And I'm happy shout out peekro

1779
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: Armstrong because he's someone that I think we just live

1780
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 1: in such a reactionary baseball world, just like sports Climb

1781
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: but Twitter and everything right now, where he had like

1782
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: what thirty bad games last year is a twenty one

1783
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,439
Speaker 1: andie and everybody totally quitted him, thought he was a bust,

1784
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: thought he sucked. I think he's still gonna be really

1785
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: good pro I don't think he has like the Superstar

1786
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: ceiling that seemed like he had through the miners, but

1787
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: as a guy just with power speed and plays great defense,

1788
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: like it's a high spot. But also maybe he does.

1789
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: He's twenty two.

1790
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 2: It's like it's like it's so hard to actually evaluate

1791
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 2: these guys, and I know he's gonna have a great series. No, No,

1792
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 2: ill will towards pekro Armstrong again it's because an idiot

1793
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:49,919
Speaker 2: made a bad trade.

1794
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course again, we can't. We can't do that.

1795
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean it was still Trevor william trade until Pek

1796
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Armstrong has more war than Trevor Williams had twenty twenty twelve.

1797
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: William I'm not a manting shit about that, but trying

1798
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: to look at the reliever, I want to shout out

1799
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: the series. Mark Junior was really fun. How about my boy,

1800
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: Luke Little? Luke closer boy, I'll let you get to

1801
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: Luke Little. But Mark Laied Junior is a lot of fun.

1802
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: He throw was just such a cool little like splither

1803
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: change up. It's one of the most unique pitches in baseball.

1804
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Kind of looks like the ghost forks. It's like probably

1805
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: the most similar pitch in baseball to the ghost forks

1806
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Uh, Luke little Mark's got but

1807
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Albert Alzala usually is good, but he's not been very

1808
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: good this year. Hectoranary's is someone who I'd love to

1809
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: hit because I just can't stand him. Yeah, they'll feel

1810
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: really good to get to him like we used to.

1811
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: And he was a Philly before he got good with

1812
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: the Uh with the Astros. Jose Quas is great stuff.

1813
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: He's been awful and I don't even if he's actually

1814
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 1: still the major league bullpen. But all right, there you

1815
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: goes so and talk about Luke a little a few

1816
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: minutes and will send everybody out. Yeah, Luke little big dude.

1817
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,679
Speaker 2: I think he's like six foot seven or six foot

1818
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 2: He's six foot eight, two hundred and twenty pounds, left

1819
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 2: handed reliever. He got popular in COVID because during COVID

1820
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 2: everybody was just making videos of themselves. He went to

1821
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,759
Speaker 2: a juco. He went to San Jacinto College in Houston, Texas.

1822
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 2: There's a video of him throwing a bullpen inside and

1823
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 2: he threw one hundred and five miles an hour. It

1824
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 2: was not a strike, it was nowhere near to the zone,

1825
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,240

01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:29,719
Speaker 1: we really wanted to have a friend of the program,

1841
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: someone we shot at Lance Brosdowski on the previous series.

1845
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: I've been the jet lag and I've been tired, and

1846
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: my mind is a mush. But we're probably gonna try

1847
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: and have him at least another point the season. Maybe

1848
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: we'd play the clubs later in June. But now that

1849
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: the back in America, We're definitely gonna try to have

1850
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,000
