1
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: All right, guys, we're back another episode of The Mets

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: the Podcast. We're not doing the intro again because you

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: want to know why last week great numbers.

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: Granted it might be because the season.

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Just started and there's actually something to give a shit about,

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: but the boys are back, ready to talk about some baseball.

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Against the Detroit Tigers, the Mets finally got their first

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: win of the season, which I'm super happy about because

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: if they didn't, I was gonna have to drink beer

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: through a hot dog straw, which I still might do

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: for the band there.

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: I think that's just good content.

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Maybe if you guys drop enough likes on this YouTube video,

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, two hundred likes on the YouTube video,

15
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I'll still do the hot dog straw with the beer.

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: It's two o'clock in the morning. I did just come

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: back from going out, so I am a little bit

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: like James was a couple weeks ago. But we're gonna

19
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: have some fun. We're gonna talk some baseball here and uh, James,

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: much better location, much better connection. I feel like I

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: feel like we're back because you've got another random painting

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: behind you. You know what's going on in Italy?

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: What's up? Everybody still checking it from Italy. I'm in

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: Milan right out. My family sisters running a marathon on Sunday,

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: so here's supporting. I'm in such a weird old time

26
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: in the airbnb. There's paintings everywhere. There's such weird shit

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: in this Airbnb. I have a bunch of pictures. I

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: was I need the mess to win a game, because

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: you can't post like weird things from Airbnb part one

30
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: if the Mets are own six So like, thank god

31
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: the Mets onesday. I'm gonna post it this afternoon because

32
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: they're strange figurines and masks and pictures and all this weird,

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: bizarre shit that's you can only findly get away with,

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: like a strange Italian Airbnb eight eighth fly eighth stair

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: walk up with a bunch of bags and luggages. Yeah,

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: it was a struggle the other day, but like weird

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: China cabinets and strange desks and lamps. But there's a

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: television and we have an internet connection, so we're watching

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: Mets baseball and overall has been a very fun trip,

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: and it's been it's been strange for all this mess

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: stuff to be going on where like I'm watching the games,

42
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: but like I'm usually neither. The Luckily one's been during

43
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: the daytime. Two been during the daytime, last two games,

44
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: and I go and just watch them in the evening

45
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: and the other one game one waking up early in

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: the morning to watch. But almost a little happy to

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: be slightly disconnected from Mets world for this last week.

48
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has been a good week to miss because,

49
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: as we know, the Mets are currently one in five, right,

50
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: one in five, that's the record going into their next series.

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: And it was a pretty miserable start Game one. Now

52
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: some positives out of Game one. Sean and I a

53
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: looked phenomenal, Like he looked great. Talk about like the

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: pitching has not really been the issue, per se Shan

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: and I looked awesome, Bret Baty looks great. Like There's

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things to take out of it, but

57
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: that one really really hurt. That was one of the

58
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: ones I think that got a lot of Mets fans

59
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: going because, Okay, the Brewer series sucked, whatever, move on,

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: We're going up against the Tigers. We know they are

61
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: a better Tigers team that have been in the past,

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: and with a guy pitching well on the mound, you go, Okay,

63
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Mets have a real shot here. But again, the offense,

64
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: which has been the story of the season thus far,

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: has just been relatively non existent, and it was again

66
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: in Game one, and.

67
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: I was great. I think Manai is a good lesson

68
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: for Mets fans, baseball fans that doesn't always have to

69
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: look the same when a pitcher's going to pitch. Well,

70
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: you talk a lot about in the show and like

71
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: other baseball people to other yaha YadA about like having

72
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: these like writhing fastball. You hear the word iv B

73
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: a lot recently the last year plus where Manaia does

74
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: something that's completely opposite and his fastball just runs like

75
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: so much on guys and into guys, especially as a

76
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: lefty into the righties. Just having a fastball that's like

77
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: very weird, like weird enough that's going to catch hitters

78
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: off guard. He just played that so well and was

79
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: so good with it, and he's just he was so

80
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: in control and like having a nice big lefty on

81
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: the mound just breaking off these change ups and has

82
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: his little colors and he was like using these weird

83
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: cutting fastballs high in his own low on the zone.

84
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: He was amazing, But again, just the offense is in Nini.

85
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Even winning the game on Thursday, the fastball, the offense

86
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: is still not exists, is terrible. It doesn't even feel

87
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: like it's getting at all better anytime soon. And most

88
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: of that's because of Nimo and Lador, and we'll talk

89
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: about them a lot, but like, the only positives to

90
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: take from this game on Monday was the fact that

91
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: again the pitching was great, was great throughout. The only

92
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: bullshit that happened was because of defense. I feel like

93
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: I don't even blame Michael Tonkin. We'll talk about some

94
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: weird decisions that led to the bad defense, but big

95
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: story this week. While francisic wild Rez is like taking over,

96
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: looking like might be the Met's best player, which is

97
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: an insane thing. Think about Brett Batty too, Brett Batty,

98
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: the slow dribble of confidence that keeps coming from him

99
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: defense to offense, defense to offense. You weirdly had the

100
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: two hardest hit balls in the whole game on Monday,

101
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: But it's just he You does very much a different

102
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: feeling with him in the field right now, at the play,

103
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: just as a baseball player, and I think that's something

104
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: that we've been talking about a lot, and something that

105
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: everybody feel like can get behind because you can see

106
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: it and it's real and it's happening.

107
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brett talked about it apparently with Gary. They talked

108
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: about it in the first game of the doubleheader. Really

109
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: good quip, really good clip there, and Gary was saying

110
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: that Brett this offseason said one of the things he

111
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: focused on the most was his mental game. And that's

112
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: something that both me and you noticed last year was

113
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: might be taking those bad plays in the field with

114
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: him at the plate, and then the bad bats back

115
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: with him back into the field. Like it didn't seem

116
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: like he was ever particularly comfortable to be a major leaguer.

117
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: And he goes to Gary during spring training, if I

118
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: am given the third base job coming out of spring training,

119
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: which of course he has been. He goes, that means

120
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: I am one of the thirty best third basemen in

121
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: the entire world. He goes, so, yeah, I belong here,

122
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Like this isn't this isn't a problem. Like if I'm

123
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: good enough, if I have what it takes. He goes,

124
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what am I the

125
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: twenty eighth best third baseman? In the entire planet in

126
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: terms of playing baseball. And I think that alone, right

127
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: there is going to be the thing that separates Brett

128
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Batty from where he was last year, because we know

129
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: talent wise, we know physically he has all the tools

130
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: to be a very good player. There's no way he's

131
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: just gonna forget how to hit, forget how to play

132
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: third base. But the confidence had been what's lacking, and

133
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: now it seems like he is at least more confident

134
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: than he was in the past. I'm not gonna say

135
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: he's Francisco Alvarez, who's just dripping with testosteron. That guy's

136
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: the fucking dog. I love Francisco, but Brett Batty hitting

137
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: fifth in the lineup now, like, I don't really want

138
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: to move him out of there. He's having great at bats,

139
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: playing good defense. Everything that we could have wanted out

140
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: of Red Batty is like slowly happening, and I think

141
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: Mets fans should be really excited.

142
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: Actually had fourth game two on Thursday too, just with

143
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: Francis squealver is getting half of a day off, which

144
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: was a decision that got but yeah, I got but

145
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: lucky that they didn't come back to buy him as

146
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: bad as as could have. But everything with Baity and

147
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned the defense offense, the offensive defense, like this

148
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: is exactly the game plan that killed him last year,

149
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: where he would make a bad play in the field

150
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: and he'd go to the box and take away and

151
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: they have a bad at back, take it back to

152
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: the field. Threw the ball where he's making such good

153
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: plays on defense, such good There was a play at

154
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Thursday where he charged the spencer Torcas and swing, but

155
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: he actually didn't even get him out, but it was

156
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: like a beautiful bare hand player. He broke immediately took

157
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: three steps and whizzed the sidelin throw in his bang,

158
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: missing by like a half steps. That hit so slowly.

159
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: He made a great diving play in the jorghelopis tenth

160
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: inning against the line on the line drive. He's going

161
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: towards the line, away from the line in the wall.

162
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Back in the ball play where was awesome.

163
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: He kind of knocked it down and Keith and Ron

164
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: were like, shout out to Red Batty getting in front

165
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: of that ball. If he doesn't get in front of it,

166
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: he's not able to make that play. And then he

167
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: threw a strike home. They threw him out at the plate,

168
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: was able to limit the run, limit the damage. Like,

169
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: he's been able to make big plays when we need him.

170
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: And granted they're not the Pie Alonzo home runs, the

171
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez driving into RBIs like on a single hit,

172
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: but he's been moving the line. He's been playing good

173
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: on both sides. That's really all we can ask for

174
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: from Red Baty right now.

175
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm also ninety nine percent sure he actually leads a

176
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: team in RBIs nice. Sorry you're saying yeah, because Game

177
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: one on on Thursday he had a great two out,

178
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: little dinky single off a lefty with two strikes, which

179
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: is they served it over the third basem's head and

180
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I was like, I don like twenty twenty three rare

181
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Baity does that. And he also had a moment to

182
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: end game two where he scores the game winning run.

183
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: Who was pitching was it Will Vest was a Fayeto

184
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: still was Alex FAYEDO. I think it might have still

185
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: been Alex fay who gave it. With the runs the

186
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: Mets made look like Matt Brash on Monday night, he

187
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: Alex fad the Tiger's doing that great thing right now,

188
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: and like player development like team development where they've had

189
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: this run of starters come to the major leagues and

190
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: not be that good. We know what they've done. They'd

191
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: be like, Okay, you guys, just be relievers now because

192
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: we're a good baseball team. That's what we need you

193
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: to be. So they have.

194
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Orleans where a J. Pux you were a great reliever.

195
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: What if you started again? Oh shit, you're terrible now

196
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: what You're.

197
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: Giving a J. Puck too much for the start? The

198
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: other day? He really he settled in, he looked good.

199
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: He'll be he'll be a good star still. But like

200
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: Joey went to Alex Fado, just go to the bullpen

201
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: and just like be good relievers for us, Like we

202
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: want you to only pitch thirty pitch at that time,

203
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: just throw gas. Alex Fade on Monday, he looked like

204
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: the best relief in baseball. He was breaking off fastballs

205
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: and sliders, and I was just like, what the hell,

206
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: Like Harrison Bade and Pete Lions have played with him

207
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: in college and looked so stupid in there at Thank

208
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: god Peach up the one off him on Thursday, because

209
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: I was just like, I thought, you guys knew this guy,

210
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: like why is this look so bad?

211
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: But it's hard to make Harrison Bader look like a

212
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: bad hitter right now, though that guy is bad, genuinely

213
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: one of the five worst hitters in baseball that I've

214
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: seen in a while.

215
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: Bad. But then baby, when he got we got the

216
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: shot back against him on Thursday after the Pete home run,

217
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: like and emotions high, like we've tied the game, like

218
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: pressures off. But Brett Baty works really good walk where

219
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: the umpire called two pitches to Brett Baity strikes, both

220
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: of them were below his knees. They were so bad

221
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: I have screenshot on the MLB dot Com. I might

222
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: throw it into the video so you guys can see it.

223
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: But such bad pitches. And there were so many other

224
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: times the series or Breck got called for some shit strikes.

225
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: There was another there was another check swing where he

226
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: barely went through the zone the game strike without what

227
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: the hell? And every time it was like he made

228
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: a comment, like he said something in the umpire but

229
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: didn't look like he was doing it like a bitchy

230
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: or a whiny way. But he stayed in his at bat,

231
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: And this one he stayed in the at bat and

232
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: he wounds up still working the walk and coming around

233
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: to score the game winning run, where it's just like

234
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: having him in the middle of the other right now,

235
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: being a player that's useful, that's effective is changing everything.

236
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: I think as this full the season has gone, Jajon

237
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: Martinz is going to play this week. I think Sunday

238
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: is the day. Right now, he's gonna slid in the four.

239
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: Albert's gonna slod in to five, And I would be

240
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: remiss if bred Bay did not slot into six because

241
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: right now there's there aren't many hitterers in the mess

242
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: lineup having better at bats consistently than Brett Baby. I

243
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: don't want I don't I don't want him to be hitting.

244
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: It's great like behind Starling Martyr Jeff McNeal basing. The

245
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: way those guys are either, like especially everything that Baty

246
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: can do, will do and should be doing like he's

247
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: he's producing right now is a way that I don't

248
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 2: know anyone else's team maybe can beside. So they're top guys. Yeah.

249
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: In game one, I think I text you he like

250
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: worked a walk where he took a bunch of really

251
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: close pitches Game one of the doubleheader, and I was

252
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: like great, fucking that bad from Brett Baty. I'm like,

253
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff that makes me feel

254
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: good about these takes that we've now been having for

255
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: like almost two years, where it's like we told you guys,

256
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: like it was even great.

257
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: Like Wardy shout out Wardy. You guys know.

258
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Mets content creator texted me is like, look at baby.

259
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: He's like, your guys started to show it a little bit.

260
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I know, we don't just say this

261
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: stuff just shouted into the void, like especially now, there's

262
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: no reason for us to promote propaganda. We can say

263
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: the truth about everything that we're talking about here. And

264
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: I still feel the same way about Brett Brady and

265
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: you're starting to see it. So those are some of

266
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: the positives for sure. Pete had that big home run,

267
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: quickest met ever to five hundred RBIs in Mets history.

268
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: He seemed really proud of that. I'm sure he'd like

269
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: to continue on breaking some of those records. But there

270
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of still bad going on with this

271
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: team right now, and especially especially on the offensive side.

272
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: It seems like ninety percent of the time they don't

273
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: really have a clue what's going on the plate, and

274
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: the two guys that feel the most locked in I'll

275
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: say three Alonso Alvarez batty. Everybody else kind of seems

276
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: like they don't know what's going on. Martella has looked fine.

277
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say anything about him. He's hit the

278
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: ball hard, hitting to us some hard outs like he's

279
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: swinging the bat. He looks healthy. But everybody else, like Nimo,

280
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: looks just lost. Francisco Lindor looks like he's a shell

281
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: of himself right now. Jeff McNeil, I don't know what's

282
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: going on there, but he looks like someone who's not

283
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: even like really competing for a starting spot right now.

284
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: If there was someone pushing up on his heels. He's

285
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: playing horrendously bad. Don't get me started on Harrison Bader

286
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: so horrible at the plate. There's just like a lot

287
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: of holes right now offensively, and that's part of the

288
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: reason why this team is not able to score runs

289
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: is because this lineup is so disconnected right now.

290
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were a lot of times on Door came up,

291
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: especially during the double heather with the Man on Bay,

292
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: because Nemo, as bad as he looks hitting, he contact

293
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: his poor But I think he took walk four or

294
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: five times during the double Heather, so at least there's

295
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: he's doing the thing that we really need to do

296
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: is get on base. And then the Door will come

297
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: to the plate and just look at strike one, swing

298
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: a strike too, swing a strike to You're like, what

299
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: the fuck are you thinking to it? And it's like

300
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: you can't. It's hard to blame Physcal and Doors. We've

301
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: seen how good he is. But then it's like he

302
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: goes through these streaks and it's like, what the actual

303
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: fuck is going on? And now and now the animals

304
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: on Twitter are getting some red meat and they're coming

305
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: back to the top ten percent of rabid weird as

306
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: Mets fans are coming back where it's like, you see,

307
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: I told you about this guy, which is I guess

308
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: not true, but it's also like, yeah, their other thing

309
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: is like I was having a conversation like cousin Mets

310
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: group chat, and because I would say that watching Pete

311
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: at bad and at bad out, I would still say

312
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: he's struggling as well. With the difference with the guy

313
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: like Pete and a guy fanciscol indoors that when Pete struggling,

314
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: he can do what he did on Thursday and still

315
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: basically accidentally when you game swing the bad, pick three

316
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: quarters swing, get the bat on it, and hit one

317
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour from home run, like just accidentally,

318
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: whereas the Flyndor is not in the zone right now,

319
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: or like even where it's way out of his own

320
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: the zone is not even in his periphery, like just

321
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: he can't really do anything get the play to help

322
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: you win because that left his swing is so loopy

323
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: and so long right now. He had a fastball in

324
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: the inner half and I think the second last that

325
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: bad in Game two and he hit a fastball middle

326
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: ind left. It hit a Q shot past the past

327
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: the third base foul, that foul down the line. I

328
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: was like, how do you even do that? And the

329
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: pop ups on high and inside pitches and he's just

330
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 2: laying on everything, and it looks like he changed his

331
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: swing a little bit. He's like more upright and he's

332
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: like a little more closed, and it's like, why why

333
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: did you change anything? Like you were doing so good

334
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: and I don't know. Now we're going on like three

335
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: straight aprils over Franciscolndor just can't really hit, So maybe

336
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: it's an April thing. Maybe it's Prey. He had bad

337
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: spring training too, like a really bad spring training where

338
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: I didn't I don't know. I'm not like worried about

339
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: fiscoling Door, but I just I just want him to

340
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: hit well because this Mets team won't play well if

341
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't hit well, especially him and brand Nemo like

342
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: and those are your top two hitters. They need to

343
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: get on base, they need to be like moving around

344
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: the bases. If those two aren't hitting, it's very hard

345
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: for the team's score runs as we're seeing. We talked

346
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: about top heaviest lineup BZZ all off season, but we

347
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: were okay with it because one, two to three was

348
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: that good. If one and two suck, it's not that good.

349
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 2: It's really bad. Actually it's terrible. And then it's getting

350
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: compounded by the fact that there are some weird things

351
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: happening on Carlos Mendoza. I'm not gonna blame the guy

352
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: in his first he's only managed now six games as

353
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: major league manager, but it seems like he's he's kind

354
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: of squeezed in the lineup card a little tight. And

355
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: we talked about it last week and you dismissed it

356
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: because I was like, there's some like very small weird

357
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: decisions here being made where if theirs were closer games

358
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: or if things were more tight, like these will be magnified.

359
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: And we saw a lot of these decisions happen this

360
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: Tiger series where the first one I text you it

361
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: made me so rationally mad because it's just like it's

362
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: very simple lineup management, where I there was no Rex

363
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: major mind and I couldn't figure that out. So I

364
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: think it was the fifth or sixth inning. It was

365
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: similar to the Zach Short Britt Baity left the situation

366
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: from last Saturday. Think it might have even been the seventh.

367
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: Actually I think it was. But Joey Wendo's lineup spot

368
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: comes up with a man on. He's on deck with

369
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: a man on first and one out, and I remember

370
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: who was up at the time, But Jeff McNeil comes

371
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: out in the on deck circle for Joey Wendall to

372
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: get the bat, which I joy. Wendell has a lot

373
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: of falseoot ball player. He's a good fielder, he's he

374
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: seems like a good locker room guy. He actually hit

375
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: the ball hard a couple of times on Thursday, but

376
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: I don't think he's exactly the guy you want on

377
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: the base. I mean I played with the game online.

378
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil comes out, but then I think the hitter

379
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: might have been Marte gets out. So now instead of

380
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: the man scoring position with two outs, so just a

381
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: man on first or two outs. So then Carls middles

382
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: pulls jeffmanneil back and sends Joey Wendall out to still hit.

383
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: Joey Wendall of course like strikes down three pitches, so

384
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: then that happens. So now you say Jack mcneilck guy's like, okay,

385
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: well you know you want you have Jeff nenils your

386
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: best bench hit. You want to save him for an

387
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: RBI spot. Okay, I guess that makes sense. And Joey

388
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: Wendall stays out there, and then the next inning or

389
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: maybe a full time around their order. So maybe this

390
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: was was the six because I had to go full

391
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: time around the order because the Harrison Beata came up

392
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: with a man on first and also two outs or

393
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: went out later in this game. And then Jeff m'neil

394
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: goes out to hit, and you're like, that was the

395
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: exact same situation. And then to make Mathers worse once

396
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: we got to the tenth ending of this game and

397
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: a zero zero game, really tightly contested game. Now you

398
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: don't have your best outfield defender in the game, the

399
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: guy you're only playing for outfield defense because he can't

400
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: hit a lick. And then Joey Wentz the second base

401
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: and Joey Wendle makes a bad error at second base

402
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: on a ground ball Cole Keith and winds up spurning

403
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: the entire Tiger's rally to wind up losing this game

404
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: for the mess. Again, you don't lose the game on

405
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: one error late in the game, but it's just that

406
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: kind of weird indecisiveness from the manager. And we saw

407
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: it more so again the game one of the double

408
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: header with the Tiger series. It's just like, these are

409
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: the little things where I'm like, I'd like to do

410
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: all these Maybe I'm perfectionists. That's just meant I want

411
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: really good decisions all the time for my baseball coach.

412
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: But it's just like these little process things where I'm

413
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: just like, hmm, that didn't feel like, oh, that didn't

414
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: feel that great. And I'm even watching this game was

415
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: so frustrating for me because, like I texted Mark. I

416
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: was like, Hey, I'm gonna wake up early and watch

417
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: this game. I have m ONBTV. I'm not unlocking my

418
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: phone when I wake up. My dad and I are

419
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: gonna sit down in the morning and we're gonna just

420
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: watch this game and get ready for the day. We're

421
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: gonna put the game on and I turned spoils off

422
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: on LMBTV, which is cool feature that happen. I don't

423
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: remember them ever having that, so I would never not

424
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: see any box scored score aboards. But the only thing

425
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: you can see when you a not a game is

426
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: a time of game. And I saw two hours and

427
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: fifty eight minutes, so it's like, okay, long game, probably

428
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: a lot of offense, and then it's going to third inning,

429
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: the fourth inning, the fifth day, the sixth thing, Like,

430
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: where the fuck is the offense houses, game house? This

431
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: game not happening right now. I'm like, oh, and I

432
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: was gonna go to the extra innings, and then once

433
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: it was years your an extra innings, I was like,

434
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: the Mets are going to fucking lose this game because

435
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: this is because this is a long ending and extra innings.

436
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: It's not the home team where it's just no ways.

437
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: Once you get to that tenth inning, I see Carson

438
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: Kelly smash one to the night sky. I was like,

439
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: all right, great, this is awesome, but oh god, just

440
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: it was. I also do my own home for a second.

441
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes I give you guys these picture scouting reports before

442
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: these series, in the previews. Sometimes I'm a little bit off.

443
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: Wow Rees Alson, Shelby Miller, Jason Foley throwing the demon sinkers.

444
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: That nasty. The Tigers got some fun pictures and thank

445
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: god the stupid ray as we missed trek school both.

446
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: Thank god we would have got no hit for sure,

447
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: but yeah, oh for sure it was a miracle. Just fun.

448
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: This Tigers team is a fun little baseball team. It

449
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: looks like a good show. To make a playoff run

450
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: one of my bull predictions, and I really don't want

451
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: to play them anymore.

452
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: No, no, And also with the rainouts that were going on,

453
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: to not cool that the Mets did not announce Game

454
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: two as a rainout way earlier. So people came in,

455
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: paid for parking, went into the stadium, paid for stuff

456
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: like spend all that money to then there was never

457
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: a chance.

458
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: You haven't been here.

459
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: It had been raining NonStop for like forty eight hours,

460
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: like there were they were like, oh, there's a window

461
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: window for what six pitches? Like would you think you

462
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: were gonna get half an inning in? Like I couldn't believe.

463
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: And the Mets have been good being proactive in the

464
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: past of calling games early, so the fact that they

465
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: didn't call this one against the Tigers on Tuesday early

466
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: was so bizarre to me.

467
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: Even saw Garia with a.

468
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Legendary, legendary all time meme doing like the crazy intro

469
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: for s and Y basically like pretending as if, oh,

470
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: there might be a game and then as soon as

471
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: it cuts. I don't know why that was shown, but

472
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: he completely was. He did like a legendary I row

473
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: of like basically, what the fuck are we doing here?

474
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: Why are we still here? We're not playing tonight. And

475
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: Gary's definitely more of like a sassy, sassy old dad

476
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: grandpa than we like kind of see on TV. So

477
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: him seeing that was like, yeah, that's but also was

478
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: so real. And the Mets on their on their trustee

479
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: medium account actually did tweet after the game all the

480
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: little ways that if you guys were at this game

481
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: or pay anything for this game ticket parking that you

482
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: can get a voucher, but you have to go on

483
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: the website and claim the voucher.

484
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: So everybody's using medium. I'm sure to find out that information.

485
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: So on the Mets official Twitter account probably be like

486
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: seven eight tweets back because they finally were tweeting on

487
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: Thursday because they actually won a game. But if you

488
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: scroll back a little bit, you find the rain Now

489
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: tweet if you were at this game and you did

490
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: show up and you did pay for parking, I'm talking

491
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: about hopefully only like a few hundred of you that

492
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: may have done that. If you go, you can get

493
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: a parking voucher for another game and a ticket voucher

494
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: for another game. It's a he has to be Monday

495
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: through Thursday, and it can't be against Yankees. It camp

496
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: against the Dodgers. So it's fine, Yeah, it's fine. Keep

497
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: that in mind. You get in those shots to the

498
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: feel and you don't have to pay for eight dollars

499
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: for parking again, which is ridiculous, But that that Gary

500
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 2: thing was so perfect because that was like everybody's when

501
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: they're like why are they trying to play this game?

502
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: Like all these people are showing up to the ballpark

503
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: and there's no chance they're gonna play it. But another

504
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: cool thing happened during the two days of rain House,

505
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: which was we did it, Joe louissev Reno Zach shore

506
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: play was ruled in their Luis Reno's the Ray drop

507
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: ten point eight to five point four season saved fucking

508
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: did it. And you know what else happened the tweet

509
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: the other day that like the Mets had the sixth

510
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: i think the sixth lost ERA in Major League Baseball

511
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: after Game one on a Monday, of all the teams

512
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: that had like the seven low ciras, the Mets were

513
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: zero to four and every other team combined with twenty

514
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: one and five. Yeah, with this ERA drop the Mets,

515
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: THEIRA drops the lowest in National League, third lowest in Baseball,

516
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: and then after Thursday, I'm sure dropped the second or

517
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 2: third lowest overall because they still got really good and

518
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 2: it's just, yeah, it's funny. Pitching. Pitching has been awesome.

519
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: Pitching has been really awesome allian season. So good.

520
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: That's the frustrating part is the pitching has been so

521
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: good in the offense and especially from the guys we expect,

522
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: has been so bad. Like the approach at the plate

523
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: genuinely has been one of the worst I've seen. It

524
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: seems like the Mets take strike one, swing at a

525
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: bad pitch for strike two, and then there it feels

526
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: like oh two every single time for these guys at

527
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: the top of the order.

528
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: Like Nimo has had bad at bats.

529
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: I know you said he was walking in the double header, say,

530
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: but he's had some horrendous at bats, things that you're

531
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: not used to seeing from brand Nemo and Lindor specifically

532
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: love Lindor, but these at bats are like as if

533
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: he hadn't played baseball in months, as if this was

534
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: spring training for him.

535
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: It's almost worse than that. It's almost like he hasn't

536
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: played baseball before, which I don't even know how to

537
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 2: describe that, but it's just he the level of lost

538
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: he contacts or something like, I don't know. It looked

539
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: like there was a moment in game too, where he

540
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: did lose a contact. He like stopped the game, like

541
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: told the umpire like he was pointing to his eye

542
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: and he kept like rubbing his glove. I'm like, your

543
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 2: glove bating glove's not gonna help you put your contact

544
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: back in and they wound up just striking out again,

545
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 2: and three pitches are popping up like he's done every

546
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: single at bat seemingly his entire year, which is fucking brutal.

547
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: It's like he just he just he he has to

548
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: be good. He's too good to be this bad. He

549
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: makes much money be this bad. Like he can't he

550
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: can't can't be this bad. No, he isn't this bad.

551
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: He's not this bad. Just not true. But it's also like,

552
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: can you just be a little better? Then? Could just

553
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: please be a little better? Like I don't know, I

554
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: just I really would like it to be a little better.

555
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: This team will be a lot better if you're a

556
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: little better, If anybody was hitting like a little bit more,

557
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 2: we would be we have significantly more wins, significantly. I'm

558
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: actually right now, I'm gonna I'm roll loading up full

559
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 2: team chase rate early in the season because I want

560
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: to see if this's this approach thing everyone's talking about approaching.

561
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: I want to see if it's real. Okay, it's actually sticky.

562
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: Oh it's super not real. And that's one of the

563
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: lowest chase rates in Baseball's chas just bottom bottom is

564
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: the one two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

565
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: But you know what it is though, It's because they

566
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: take strike one. Every every single guy is just like, oh,

567
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: strike one right down the middle, and then they chase

568
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: on strike two and then or they take strike too.

569
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: Like I just feel like there is no approach. Maybe

570
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: the approach isn't necessarily like broken in that like they're

571
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: swinging at the wrong pitches taking the good ones.

572
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: I just think there is no approach.

573
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: It feels like there is no plan at the play

574
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: for any of these guys outside of Francisco Alvarez and

575
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: Brett Baty, who have literally had the best at bats,

576
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: which feels insane to say on this team.

577
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: And just clicking the double header you felt to so

578
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: much for Alvarez too, where he comes up early, he

579
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 2: gets he gets the first head first center of the

580
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: order of course comes up the second time he gets

581
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: to two out, two RBI double, We're like, God, damn,

582
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: he's so good, and he's like he's hit he's eighty.

583
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: I think at one point during the game he was

584
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: nine for eighteen on the season.

585
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: With you at the only person that had a higher

586
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: ops than him, I think in baseball. Going into the

587
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: second game of the doubleheader was Mookie Betts. And I

588
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have seen how Mooki Betts

589
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: has been playing, but it's as if he's not from

590
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: this play inet like he's playing possessed.

591
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: It's insane. Mookie has been possessed. There was a time

592
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: yesterday where he was leading Major League Baseball in every

593
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: single offensive category, which is insane. Also, just like sometimes

594
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 2: I look at I don't know this is dare to

595
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: talk frohim, just like damn, Like Mookie Betts is so good.

596
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: He's so good, like the team is like he's like

597
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: a team needs a shortstop. I'll play shortstop and you know,

598
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: doing be really fucking good at it. I think he

599
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: already has like almost three war in the season, which

600
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: means that he's on pace for like twenty something war

601
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: time season. So like when we were saying last year

602
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: that we think he deserved the m VP, like half

603
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: trying to talk about Robin Coooney but also half being like,

604
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's better than this guy. It's it's

605
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: it's real. But also I was doing some research on

606
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: like some some Mets actually data and they've actually been

607
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 2: one very major league average this year, not more than

608
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 2: any other team, exactly the league average. So the day

609
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: the day is not bearing out some of this approach stuff.

610
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 2: Some of it feels that way, and I think it's

611
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: a lot a lot with that is just the best

612
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: players on the team having very bad approaches early. But again,

613
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: like right now we're O one a league average amount,

614
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: which sucks, but it's also like just get be a

615
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: little bit, just be a little better. And then Alvarez,

616
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: I think dou also got a good heat checked in

617
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: this double heather because or at least game one of it,

618
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: because he started off the game so hot. He drove in,

619
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: he drove into two runs himself early in the game,

620
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: and then I think he came round of the score

621
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: and the Brett Baby RBI singles, so it was possible

622
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: in a way for all three runs. But then yeah,

623
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: very bad thing behind the play with Jake Deabon, which

624
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: will talk about again because this was another weird across

625
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: from does decision. It definitely deserves a little bit of attention.

626
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: And then he also a chance to win the game

627
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: at night inning just grant such a bad Duffle play. Yeah,

628
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: its like a bad they'll play like you grind to

629
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: a bad they'll play, but it's just like in that moment,

630
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: she's like, damn it, grind, this is the ground ball. Fuck.

631
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: I really wanted to win this game, but we also

632
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: got our first taste of the Agent House experience, and like, also,

633
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: just like Sean and I pretty.

634
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: Good kind of like it. I had a little bit

635
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: of fun watching Adrian Howser pitch. You on why he's

636
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: got a little bit that Bartolo two seamer, Like he

637
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: just the guy lives on the edges and that's a

638
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: fun place to live when you throw ninety two miles

639
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: an hour, because you can't really get hurt too bad.

640
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: And I was talking to my dad on the phone

641
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: watching the game, and he's like, you know this Houser guy,

642
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: He's like he doesn't really leave anything over the middle

643
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: of the play, like he's either gonna walk you or

644
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna like hit into soft contact. And then the

645
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: amount of times you saw guys pulling outside pitch to

646
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: the shortstop, to Lindora to Baity, You're like, fuck, like

647
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: Adrian Houser, man, it's not pretty, but boy, I kinda

648
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoy watching him pitch. Even Ron was

649
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: like kind of gush, and he was like, this reminds

650
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: me a lot of the guys I played with back

651
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: in the days. It's a little refreshing, like someone who's

652
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: not out there trying to throw ninety eight every single time.

653
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: He's like so unimp ppressive that it's impressive.

654
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 2: Now I stays away from everybody, doesn't miss any bats,

655
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: so many two seamers and sinkers, and it's all in

656
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: the outside, and it's just like, nice, you're never swearing

657
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: them up. He's not. He's not blowing anything by you.

658
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: He's not missing many bats, but Sli ground balls a

659
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: lot of easy pop ups. You're like, this is nice

660
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: to watch. I like this, and then you definitely don't

661
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: want that experience. Happened three times around the batting or though,

662
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: and that's why he did get pulled when he got pulled,

663
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: which was I think it might have been a hair early.

664
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: But also the Tigers had this spot in the batting

665
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: or where it was some impressive lefties in a row

666
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: with Parker Melo's one, carry, Carpenter three, and and Riley

667
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: Green four, which is I know, maybe to some Mets

668
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: fans that doesn't exactly sound like murderer's row. But those

669
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: are three. Those are three like pretty above average left

670
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: headed hit. So like if you have multiple lefties in

671
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: your bullpen, it's a good time to use them against that.

672
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: He was yank for Brooks Raili in the sixth inning

673
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: with Carpenter Riley coming up. The Tigers responded by pinch hitting,

674
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 2: taking Carpentry the game, which again that's a win for

675
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: the Mets. That's a good time bringing the left you

676
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: get Kerry carpentrrat the game is really good hitter for

677
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: I believe it was Andy Abania's he did, I think

678
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: wind up getting a hit and run wound up scoring

679
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: in this situation. But I understand cross and Doze in

680
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 2: the Mets not wanting Howsard to see these guys third time.

681
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: But then that part of the line came up again

682
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: and now we only have a lefty one to lefty four,

683
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: and I think Mendoza got a little bit jumpy because

684
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 2: Drew Smith next sending got into trouble in the seventh

685
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: after two quick outs to Drew Smith special and then

686
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: Jake Deekman comes in to face Parker Medos, the first

687
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: of those lefties. But markand is sitting on the bench

688
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 2: and he's gone into every game this series, and this

689
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: was this was a nice comeback from Marcando with Mets

690
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: fans because we're just now we can all remember him

691
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: like working a nice seven pitch walk getting hit with

692
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: a one to two pitch right in the ass. It's like, oh, yeah,

693
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: Markann is a good baseball player. I remember now hitting

694
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: a fly ball just to the warning track, not getting

695
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: all the way out like this is awesome. I think

696
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: mar Cannon also might have had the fewest ever games

697
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: played for a player to get a tribute video at

698
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 2: an opposing stadium closed. He he was maybe a two

699
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty game player as a Met, and he

700
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: got like a like a forty five second tribute video

701
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: before the game, which is like, that's that was crazy

702
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: to me. It was also a nice thing. But he

703
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: pinch hits for Meadows and then pass ball walked another

704
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: wild pitch. This was where Alvarez is kind of like

705
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: the heat check, whereas that was not getting behind the playe.

706
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: It was also the Jake Deacon experience for Mets fans.

707
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: You guys got good taste of that where it's very

708
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: uncomfortable for the hitter. It's very uncomfortable for Deacmon. It's

709
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: uncomfortable for the fielder, it's uncomfortable for the fans watching

710
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: at home. It's uncomfortable for everybody because if all leaves

711
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: his hand and it could be the best pitch you've

712
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: ever seen, or it could be three feet above the catcher.

713
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what's gonna happen next, but Deacon comes

714
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 2: in this game, he faces zero lefties. Eventually it gets

715
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 2: out of the inning, gives up the one runs. Now

716
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: we're up three two, and then he doesn't come back

717
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 2: to the next inning. We're Riley Green, the actual best hitter,

718
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: the best lefty in this lineups in the game. Adam

719
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: outavinand throw a sweeper over the middle and Jay and

720
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: Ridley Green hits to the moon. Suddenlyast three to three.

721
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no world. I mean, I thought we were

722
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: past this. So I thought we learned last year. I

723
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: thought we learned in twenty twenty two. Adam Ottavino cannot

724
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 1: face left handed hitters. It is not something he can do.

725
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: And guess what if he is, it's gotta be a two, three,

726
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: four run game. It can't be with a chance to

727
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: tie it up and especially when you had Deacon in before.

728
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: Why is he not into just get Riley Green out?

729
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I couldn't rationalize the move at all.

730
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: I also felt like he came in a little bit early,

731
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: like we decided we like Jake Deekman against Parker Meadows

732
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: more when markann is coming in rather than Jake Deakman

733
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: to get Riley Green.

734
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: That one also makes sense to me.

735
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's some Monday morning quarterback, a little bit of

736
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: we we saw what happened and we have a more

737
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: sane take on it now because we saw the outcome.

738
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: But at the same time, Parker Meadows doesn't instill the

739
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: same fear that Riley Green should, even if he is

740
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: an okay hitter. You me and Drew Smith against well, yes,

741
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: I thought it should have been Drew Smith against Parker Meadows.

742
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: Drew Smith also, like I know, he got into his

743
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: like the classic Drew Smith too quick outs then got

744
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: into trouble. But it was like a blue pit and

745
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: he got squeezed on one of the other batters where

746
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: like he genuinely threw like four strikes in that that

747
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: a bat didn't get a single one over because of

748
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: Angel Hernandez behind the plate in game one of that doubleheader.

749
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: Legend back there three blind mice and it's all Angel Hernandez.

750
00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: But Mendoza definitely has not been shot. And you guys

751
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: know that I loved Luis Rojas. I'm always gonna have

752
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: Louis Rojas's backs, wrote Carlos Mendoza is what all Mets

753
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: fans thought Louis Rojas was when it came to making decisions,

754
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 1: where Louis Rojas, like at the end of the day,

755
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: I really don't think was still that bad. Not the

756
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: point of conversation, Carlos Mendoza has not really seemed to

757
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: get the feel of the game just yet either, like

758
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: how the game feels, the speed, the decision making, it

759
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: all seems like he's just a little bit behind. And

760
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: I was really hoping this is where John Gibbons would

761
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: have been able to like help out a little bit

762
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: more of like, hey, dummy, no, not right now, this

763
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: is not when we do this, Please God, No, doesn't

764
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: seem like that's the case.

765
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm those have to give a little bit these

766
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: bad decisions to John Gibbons as well, because it's like, ugh,

767
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: you've been in majorage clubouse, you've been a major league

768
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 2: manager before, and you kind of have felt some nerves

769
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: for a little bit, the way he's talking to media,

770
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: the way he looks at the top step. But I

771
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 2: understand that it's your first week as being a big

772
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: league manager and you are losing every single game in horrible,

773
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: horrible fact. So I'm not I can't like fault him

774
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: for kind of feeling like a little deer in the

775
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 2: headlights a little bit of times, but also like please

776
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: be a little bit better. And then yeah, you have

777
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 2: major league bench coach thingting right next, you have a

778
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: guy and Eric Chavez, Eric Chaves, who was a major

779
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: league bench coach last year, standing right behind you. Those

780
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: through a little triumph in every single game where it's

781
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: like somebody canse somebody do something, and somebody we gave.

782
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: We gave Buck a lot of shit last couple of

783
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: years because he was a bad manager, but he'd One

784
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: thing he did really well that I was impressed with

785
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: is that if there was a situation where that their

786
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: hitters were coming up in the eighth inning, he did

787
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: not hesitate to use Edwin Diaz there. And this situation

788
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: where you've burned both your lefties. It had just had

789
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: to be edmind das facing Riley greed. Unless Jake Deacon

790
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: is coming back out, maybe Deacmon's like an updown thing,

791
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: like he's not a reliever who often goes more than

792
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: one inning, but sure he's not. Shout out of them,

793
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: shout Joe Musker the other day because Josh Hayter, in

794
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: his entire two years staying with the Padres, he never

795
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: got a four out saved in the regular season. He

796
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: got won the postseason. Robert Spworis think are these two

797
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: four or five out saves this year? He's like, it's

798
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: really nice to have a reliever. It was not scared

799
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: to take the ball whenever we ask him, because Josh

800
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: Hayter was like, I'm not doing four out one inning

801
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: is gonna be the ninth. That was like a thing,

802
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, cool that Joe Musgrove said that those hilarious.

803
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: Even though Musk hated to get a four out safe

804
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. So I was gonna tweet it and

805
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: I looked back. I was like, oh, I actually do

806
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: remember you got this pig four out safe against Dodgers

807
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: and l thes like I'm not gonna ship up this

808
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: guy for not getting four when I actually did want

809
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: him a matter the most. But it just of all

810
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 2: the machinations happened in a baseball game to be like,

811
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: I want my my right handed reliever throws a sweeper

812
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: to face Riley Green, the only guy in this Tigers

813
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: line who could really kill me, because Torplsen doesn't really

814
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 2: look like him right now. It was. It was stupid,

815
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: and I tweeted it because it looked like it was

816
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: a pitch off a t Alex Chamberlain. Great raytherer fangrass

817
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: he co tweeted he like with some good data about

818
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: how often hitter's pole fly balls against sweepers up against

819
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: every pitch, and lefties pull fly balls against right handed

820
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: sweepers like fifteen percent of the time, smashed every other

821
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: metric on the table. It was a good tweet and

822
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: I was just like, yeah, that's exactly what happened too, Huh.

823
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: Let's just so many machinations as bullpen, there's so many

824
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 2: people to use, and it's just the way that jumping

825
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: the six, jumping the seventh focks you for the eighth.

826
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: It was not It wasn't being thought out, and then

827
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: the decision making I think got a little bit worse.

828
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: I think this was the worst one because extra innings

829
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: after a great shut to the ning before he Lopez,

830
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: the Mets are up in the bottom of the tenth,

831
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: need one run to win the game. And this is

832
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: an anti bunting podcast. We have there since the beginning

833
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: of time. But we've said, I guess more me the

834
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: only time at a Major League Baseball game now the

835
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: way to currently stay that where bunting makes sense is

836
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: when you're the bottom of an inning, you need exactly

837
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: one run to win, and who have mass second base

838
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: and nobody out. That's the only time the math says

839
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: that the bunting makes sense. But cross me. Those tried

840
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: to ask Bret Bay of the buns and it super

841
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: didn't work.

842
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the problem I had with their again, I hate

843
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: the bunt whatever, and I side with the people on

844
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: Twitter too, being like Brett Baty has been one of

845
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: our better hitters.

846
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 2: Why the fuck is he bunting right now? Give him

847
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: a chance to win the game.

848
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go with the bunt there there is

849
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: a guy on the bench by the name of Joseph

850
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: Wendell who should be in and bunting in that situation

851
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: because clearly Brett Baty is not comfortable bunting. That was

852
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: blatantly obvious by the awful, awful attempts he made. And

853
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't really care that Bret Baby

854
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: camp bun doesn't bother me not not.

855
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: Move to the slightest.

856
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: But if that was the decision that you were gonna make,

857
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: it has to be Joey Wendell. Why the fuck is

858
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: this guy on this team if he's not gonna be

859
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: doing the Joey Wendell shit that you would expect him for.

860
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: So that was the frustrating part for me was you

861
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: had your guy to do the job that you wanted

862
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: and you chose not to because you wanted Baby to bunt.

863
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense to me.

864
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: Also, because Mendoza wasn't really afraid to take good players

865
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 2: out of the game. Because Francis gu Alver's, like we said,

866
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: made the last time ninth inningk he was the ghost

867
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: running on a second base and they pinched ran him

868
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: for I believe it was Zach Short. So like, if

869
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 2: you're if you're willing to take Francis Gualverer's out of

870
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: the game, that means in your head. You're like, we're

871
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: ending this game right now. You should be able to

872
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: do the same for Ret Baty, or again, just let

873
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: Brett Baty hit because he's been hitting so well, timely heads,

874
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: he's been taking good that bad. Like again, I completely

875
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 2: understand the bunt decision, but then the moment after that

876
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: first bout of ten was so off, so bad, and

877
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 2: I think it was thinks it was either still Jason

878
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: Foley or Shelby Miller, but just a reliever who's getting

879
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: on you. It's just it's just a bad time to bunt.

880
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: It was Shelby, it was Shelly. It was just a

881
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 2: Shelby with a name for a reliever, Jason and Shelby.

882
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: But it's like the peaky fucking blind this. But it

883
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 2: was it was just bad, and he got a lot

884
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: of ship for it because there's this like there's this

885
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: anti bunting constituency who I think most of them used

886
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: to be the pro bunty constituency. And then's ironic that

887
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: in game two, a bunch like kind of won the

888
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: Mets the game after the Bret Bailey walks doging Mart,

889
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: they pushed a bunt up the first baseline perfectly so well,

890
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: no again, you guys. You guys talked about good bunting,

891
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: but it was painful just that because like like the

892
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 2: other part of me is like major ye player should

893
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 2: get that bunted down. That one should have gotten down.

894
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: Shelby Miller is a good read leiver, but he doesn't

895
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: throw ninety nine. He's throw one hundred miles an hour,

896
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: Like the bunch should get down. Like he throwing high

897
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: pitches and the buns were missing. That's just good pitching.

898
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: It's good just tipically have good baseball. But it's just

899
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: you gotta get that bunted down. But when as a manager,

900
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: you have to know you have to put your players

901
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: in position and do things good. And I will say,

902
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: like maybe, like Brett Baby has shown bunt to get

903
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: hits a few times. He did one spring training two

904
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: that was good. He did a few times last year,

905
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: he tried a few times this year. I wouldn't tell

906
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: everybody never tried this again because like it's not worth

907
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: it anymore. But like, yeah, maybe he's not even that

908
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: bad that he just kind of flubbed in the moment

909
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: that his manager took the heat for him. Like that

910
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: might be something that happened because the concept of the

911
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 2: decision again anti bunting podcast, that's the one time you're

912
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: supposed to bump that the one time it ever makes sense.

913
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: I need one run to win this game. This out

914
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: does not matter. And it worked. And you know what,

915
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: we bunted a fucking worked in game too. Was our

916
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: first winning season, so I get that maybe maybe we

917
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: would be a little more nice of the bunting, but

918
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: isn't because then you get to the love of thaying

919
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: Talking comes in for another extra inning extravaganza. Bloop bloop bloop.

920
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: Cole Keith in the gap, you have no chance?

921
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: Games over sleeper cell gets a brave sleeper cell right now,

922
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: he's just like, how can the Mets lose?

923
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 2: How can I help them lose this game? Buca Talking

924
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 2: should be pitching with a gros round on the second base.

925
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be happening again. The fact that happened back

926
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: to back games, that's again also malpractice, where it's like,

927
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 2: how would get to this situation? Like what was that

928
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: show like a Nickelodeon where like was a rewind? Like

929
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: stop might be wondering how I got here? He should

930
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 2: be like that every single time Michael tonk is in

931
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: the game an extra innings. You might be wondering how

932
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: I got here, because I don't know how the funk

933
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 2: I'm here. I don't know why I'm here. Yeah, I uh.

934
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: I think Michael Tonka was definitely catching a lot of heat,

935
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: not his fault, but he also didn't do anything to

936
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: win the game.

937
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: That's also part of it.

938
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: And that's goes back to the conversation we had in

939
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: the last episode of every other team's players step up,

940
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: when are the Mets players gonna step up?

941
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: That's what we missed.

942
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: And to be fair, in Game two, despite getting no

943
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: hit for what seven innings, we did see Pete Alonzo

944
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: step up in the ninth sitting hit that big home run,

945
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: and then.

946
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: The other guys then stepped up too.

947
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: Brett Baby with a huge walk, like you said, starring

948
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: Marte Tyrone Taylor, who needs to be playing every single

949
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: day over Harrison Bader. He has to be. He's just

950
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: way better. I don't care how good Harrison Bader is

951
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: in the field. Right now, at the plate, he is

952
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: as good as me or James if you're going up there.

953
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: So you can't have that. You can't have Mark and

954
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: James up at the plate right now.

955
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: You're saying that, but he did break the Mets thirteen

956
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: no hit innings. Dude, Wow, sick nice Wow, dude. Cool.

957
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: Well you play for the Mets. Dude, Wow, it's great.

958
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: Drop me off in midtown.

959
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: Bro.

960
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: If that crane pole picked them up at the airport,

961
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: they'd say, hey, dude, what's your name?

962
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 2: Can you take me to midtown? You'll played for the Men?

963
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: That's cool?

964
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: Man?

965
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: When did you play for the Met? That's awesome? Dude.

966
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: They killed Gil Hodges. Nothing's good. But I also love that.

967
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: There is something that I said in the show. I

968
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: said the Twitter a few times. MESSI on Harrison Bayer

969
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 2: was like a baby, the starting centerfielder. I was like,

970
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: you guys, not watch Haerison Bay. They hit correct, Watch

971
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: Hason Bed they hit for two weeks. This guy's not

972
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: gonna have more three to four hund play appearances because

973
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 2: he can't. He just can't. Let me ask you this,

974
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 2: Why in the world did they pay him ten million dollars.

975
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: It seemed like that was the going rate at the time.

976
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: But then I've seen last year. We said at the end,

977
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: we've seen this offseason the Mets and other teams seemed

978
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: like the people who were proactive got boned. Yeah, people

979
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 2: who waited got you saved. Because I think it was

980
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: the Pirates side. Michael Taylor for like a couple of

981
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: mil Yeah, I was saying, since October's better than Harrison

982
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: Bay and I would like to have him on this team.

983
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: And also we see a guy like Joey Wendell, who

984
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: joe one seems like a great guy, seems like a ballplayer,

985
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 2: but to jump the whole market and gave him three

986
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: million dollars guaranteed, and we got to talk with the

987
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: other thing that happened in those double Heather Holyo Taran, Yeah,

988
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 2: I don't know why he's making two million dollars. Why

989
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: did they sign him for money? I don't know, because

990
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 2: then in this game, I guess.

991
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: I should be paying the Mets to play baseball.

992
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: They talk about sleeper cell. I actually think he might

993
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 2: be a sleeper cell, but I'll say that conspiracy for

994
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: another podcast.

995
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: You know, when they think he's gonna make his debut

996
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: for the Mets since the fucking Braves, Yeah, Monday, I

997
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: know he's a sleeper cell because there's.

998
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: A rule though that who Jose got to start this

999
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: game because the double Heather, you get twenty sevens man,

1000
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: but you can't call guys up an option for ten

1001
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 2: days unless there's an injury that goes with it, which

1002
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: we're so ready for the read Garrett phantom injury, Like

1003
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: thank you for having the game of your life, pitching

1004
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,479
Speaker 2: three shut out of the inks and saving us together

1005
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 2: a win. We'll talk about him a second, because I

1006
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: love hery Garrett now, but like, here's your here's your reward.

1007
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: You're going to my league. You're gonna make forty K

1008
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: for this next couple of you, forty K salary for

1009
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: the next few weeks. Again, But Tehran, I don't know.

1010
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: I just don't know. It was like a weird thing

1011
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: where they had to get a guy because they they

1012
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: couldn't call up any the minor leaguers for until next Friday.

1013
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 2: But it's also two million dollars. Two million dollars seem

1014
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: like a lot. I would have given him twenty bucks

1015
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: and been like, he starts, can you get shelled this

1016
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 2: one game and just deal with it? Like I look,

1017
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: I did look at spow track because I was just

1018
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 2: like two million, like he that's the lowest salary by

1019
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: far for any starting pitcher in Major League Baseball, and

1020
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 2: like he did have a stretch last year where he

1021
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: wasn't like horrible horrible, But also I just I don't

1022
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 2: think he's I don't think he's gonna be good. But

1023
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: I guess we'll talk about that what happens. I'm going

1024
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 2: to pretend Julio Tehran is not doesn't the team until

1025
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 2: he actually has to be on this team. Yeah, doesn't

1026
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 2: exist until he exists. But I want to talk about

1027
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 2: Booto for a second, because Jose Bud was putting a

1028
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 2: very difficult situation to start game too, his Double Heather,

1029
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: where the Mets are starting hearing a five game losing streak.

1030
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: They'd burned seven relievers in game one, and they were like, hey,

1031
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: you you gotta save us, You guy who didn't make

1032
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: our baseball team, Please save us right now. Someone should

1033
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 2: have sent apology layer that Tyler McGill made this team

1034
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: over jose Boud, though, because he did so much after

1035
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 2: the game, Like during this game, the thirty pitch for

1036
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: ost sitting where he really struggled. He had no field,

1037
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: This fastball was running a lot, he couldn't place it,

1038
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: and he just didn't have any field for the color

1039
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: or the slider, which had been his two best pitches

1040
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: since he developed them both towards the end of the

1041
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 2: last season. And then he just got so tough and

1042
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: he just did everything he could, like I'm not coming

1043
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: out of his game. He's like, I'm throwing six innings

1044
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 2: if you have to drag me out this field. And

1045
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 2: he only gave up one run, six strike ass, three walks,

1046
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: a couple of hits, but only the one run the

1047
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: six strikeouts. And he was literally only throwing four seamers,

1048
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: two seamers, and change ups, and he just kept them

1049
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: off balanced. He stayed on the edges of the play low, high, inside,

1050
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: the outside where players couldn't really hurt them, and like

1051
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: he couldn't. He couldn't, like he couldn't have any field

1052
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: for the breaking ball, and he's still getting guys out.

1053
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: The slide of the color were barely used. Ivon said

1054
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: the slitherers a sweeper or in a curve ball mix

1055
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: of the two. I don't know, it's weird, and then

1056
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 2: that the color was a slyder, but I think again,

1057
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: just knowing how those pitches were being classified in the spring,

1058
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: I think that's a slider and a color, and he

1059
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: really just leaned on the other stuff because he couldn't

1060
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: have any gripos. He only wound up throwing two colors,

1061
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: and like two of them were really nice to lefties.

1062
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: I think one was too. I remember for his meadows

1063
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: if it was green. But two of them he was

1064
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 2: just bearing on the inside, so like, throw that pitch more, please,

1065
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: tar that pitch more. But it was just like he

1066
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 2: sprinkled a few in random innings, but it was just

1067
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: fastball sinker change, fastball sinker, change up over and over again,

1068
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: which is how he got to the major leagues, which

1069
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: when you have no stuff, you're always gonna lean on

1070
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: the stuff that is your stuff. So just I just

1071
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: I really want to see him get more chances because

1072
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 2: like he has such a good attitude in the mound.

1073
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 2: He throws so many strikes, just like it was fucking

1074
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: awesome to see him do this, because he didn't do this.

1075
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: If he took a thirty pitch first inning and turned

1076
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: that into a sixty pitch first two winnings, death Mets

1077
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: would have lost this game because this would have been

1078
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 2: eight innings of Johan Ramirez and uh and Read Garrett

1079
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: and it would have been very bad.

1080
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to use a classic like baseball cliche. Here,

1081
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: cutsy performance from Jose Buddo. I didn't get to watch

1082
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: it live your boys out on a date, but gutsy

1083
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: performance by Jose Buddo absolutely just just Bulldog did a

1084
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Like you said, he didn't have the stuff,

1085
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: was able to get through that six and then talk

1086
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: about bulldog performance too, your boy Read Garrett.

1087
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: Now is when we can.

1088
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: Salute Read Garrett for his service. I mean three innings,

1089
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 1: three k's. I think he had maybe a hit, maybe

1090
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: a walk here and there. I don't know the exact stats,

1091
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: but I even got a text from my dad after

1092
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: the game.

1093
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 2: He was like, I know you didn't. You were busy,

1094
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: you couldn't watch this.

1095
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: He was like, but redgare, where did this guy come

1096
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: from ninety five with the splitter. I'm like, he was

1097
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: here last year, He's had it all the time. He

1098
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: just saw it now and it worked, Like but yeah, huge,

1099
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 1: especially because the offense didn't exist for the entire game

1100
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: pretty much.

1101
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: It's funny. I tried to say that last year and

1102
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: we were like, shut up, don't make rigaar the thing.

1103
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: And I was right. I still won't until he showed

1104
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 2: me today he was throwing ninety six and he used

1105
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: five different pitches in this game today, which I think

1106
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: is how a guy like Recare gets through three innings.

1107
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 2: He was using he used the four seamer, he's a

1108
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: two seamer, he was a gyroslider, he was a sweeper,

1109
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 2: and he was dropping a splitther and he use each

1110
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: of those pitches at least fifteen percent of the time.

1111
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 2: Where it's like, does Righao want to go back triple

1112
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 2: A and try to start like he wanted to try

1113
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 2: and stretch out to fifty pitches, like I'd rather him

1114
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: start to with Eron but got two performance by him.

1115
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 2: We definitely want to come up with like a segment

1116
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: in the show. We're trying to do more segments and stuff. Becau.

1117
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: We've gotta be like podcasters now instead of just like

1118
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: just like showing up and doing a podcast, try to

1119
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: actually be podcasters. We need a name for like the

1120
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: shitty hero of the week, the guy who like you

1121
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: didn't expect to do a good because more wiener of

1122
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 2: the week. Yeah, Like we wanted to make a playoffs

1123
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: more stars, Yeah, we want to do a playoff like

1124
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 2: the zeal of approval, because like that's what Rid Gerett

1125
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: was like. If the Mets do not win this game,

1126
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: if reed Garrett gives up even one run, if three

1127
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: Garrett read Garrett, the guy was a major leaguejourneyman, has

1128
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: been DFA multiple times last few years. He gives up

1129
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: one run to a major league baseball team, the Mets lose.

1130
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: We're own six right now, going on the road. If

1131
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 2: the mess were owen six, going to Cincinnati where they

1132
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: always struggle, well not always struggled, but h chaos baseball,

1133
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 2: we know what's gonna happen. There was now said chance

1134
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 2: be O to nine heading to Atlanta next week. If

1135
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 2: the Mets were own nine heading to Atlanta, I was

1136
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: never coming back to America. I was going to I

1137
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: was not gonna talk about baseball anymore. I was going

1138
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 2: to retire. So that thing, the Meds saved me. I

1139
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 2: was gonna just stay in Morocco. I don't know what's

1140
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: gonna happen in Spain. I'll just find my find my

1141
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: home in Spain. I can blend in really well down there.

1142
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 2: My Spanish is pretty good. I could I could live

1143
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: down there for a couple hundred dollars a month and

1144
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: you would never hear me, hear from me again, never ever.

1145
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: But thank god this happened because we got to the

1146
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 2: ninth inning and Pete hit a home run on the hitches,

1147
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: almost in the dirt, put a half swing on it.

1148
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: The ball went off as bad, and my dad and

1149
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: I were just like watching her, like, oh my god,

1150
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Guy.

1151
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: I was like, fuck, yes, it seem like the whole

1152
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: team is so happy. And we talked about before the

1153
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: big Brett Baby walk off, the two awful calls and

1154
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 2: then Tyron Taylor being the hero, and we just I'm

1155
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: not gonna say we saved the season because there's still

1156
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 2: one in five. The team still looks horrifically bad, but

1157
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 2: saved the moment for us, at least save the weekend,

1158
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 2: saved April.

1159
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: I think I saw a tweet that there's only been

1160
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: three or four teams in the history of baseball that

1161
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: have started the year zero to five and made the playoffs,

1162
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,479
Speaker 1: so there's quite quite a hill to jump here.

1163
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: But new playoff system now fifteen of those teams have

1164
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 2: gone to eighty four wins, so I will not off

1165
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: new playoffs we could do it.

1166
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: Me's gotta rattle off eighty three wins out of their

1167
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: next seat, whatever amount of games.

1168
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: There's so many games left.

1169
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, April, it looked very cathartic the way that

1170
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: the Mets won this game. Like you saw Peter a

1171
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: Lonzo hit the home run, You saw the guys in

1172
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: the dugout, Pete running around the bases almost like a like, ah,

1173
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: like I needed this, like a lot of like yelling

1174
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: of like letting demons out. And then when they won

1175
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: the game, Pee being the goofball that he is, like

1176
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: chasing Tyrone Taylor down on the bases, throwing shit at him,

1177
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: kind of same thing of like like they just needed

1178
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: to get it out. I don't know, maybe the Mets

1179
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: need to like yell before the games, like just be

1180
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room and just start screaming and yelling

1181
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: and getting stuff out. But it felt like a moment

1182
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: where they were able to shake everything off, realize, oh shit,

1183
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: that's right, we are good baseball players. We're not a terrible,

1184
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: terrible team like we've been playing. Hopefully this is what

1185
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: can turn this around going into Cincinnati.

1186
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 2: I think that's probably exactly what Pilanzo sounds like when

1187
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 2: of yels too, but it felt good. It felt like

1188
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: they were happy to win a game. I quit their

1189
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 2: happy to winning game. Crossandosa said that when he got

1190
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: to the clubhouse after he was greeted with beer, champagne

1191
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 2: and eggs, which I don't know who had eggs handy?

1192
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: But a right, let's play a game. Who in the clubhouse?

1193
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: Who of the Mets players would you suspect to be

1194
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: an eggs man? Like, just have eggs ready to go?

1195
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: Pick Harrison Bader, you thinks the guy?

1196
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: Why? Just yeah, it just has protein around. He always

1197
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: has a couple eggs handy.

1198
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: I don't know who i'd go with, Like, I don't

1199
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: know why fans squy out for us. Feels like he

1200
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: just pops megs Like he just like like kind of

1201
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: like yeah, like eggs in his pocket, exsit his locker

1202
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: like it a little tupperware and you just eat a

1203
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: hard boiled egg like for a snack in between innings.

1204
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: Strong boy the first is also probably most likely in

1205
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: this roster to have grown up around chickens, so I

1206
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 2: think that's probably part of it. Also, shout out Steve

1207
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 2: Gelps because we got Tyrone Taylor got the get right

1208
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: bath after the game, and he blew it so bad.

1209
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 2: He was asking asking Tyrone Taylor questions, but he saw

1210
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: the Mets doing like the gatory baths from like for

1211
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: the yards away, like running from there all the way

1212
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: with the home players doing the interview and then like

1213
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 2: twenty seconds of silence just like this, and then he goes, oh,

1214
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna get out of the way. Tyrone

1215
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 2: Taylor goes what and he turns around get it right baths.

1216
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 2: So it's like, all right, shout awkward. Steve gelps there

1217
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: for that one. But thank god we won this game.

1218
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 2: We still lost the series, but like, thank god you

1219
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 2: get a win, Like first one is the harlest to

1220
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: go through sometimes usually the Mets just do this in

1221
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 2: opening days. Weird. The Mets goes as long without a win,

1222
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: and the open five is the worst they've been. I

1223
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 2: think it was since sixty four tied to two thousand

1224
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: and five, which was also the first year that Willie

1225
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: Randolph managed the team, which is kind of ironic. That

1226
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: was a funny one for another x Yankee getting his

1227
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: first manager year old job. But I don't know, it's not.

1228
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: It's still pretty bad, but it's not as bad as

1229
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: I felt then. In between these two games.

1230
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, between Game one and Game two, was again on

1231
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: my way to go into my date, and I tweeted out.

1232
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know how the hell I'm

1233
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna watch this team for the entire year, Like I

1234
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: have no clue because I.

1235
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: Am like dramatic.

1236
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: I'm in such a bad mood right now, and I know, yeah,

1237
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: I am being dramatic, super dramatic, but it was just

1238
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: like I was so perturbed by how they lost Game one.

1239
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: I sat word of the day perturbed that I just

1240
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't handle it. I was like, if I have

1241
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: to watch one hundred and fifty more games of them

1242
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: playing baseball like this, I'm gonna lose my mind. I'm

1243
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 1: gonna rip out the hair from my head. Like there's

1244
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: no way I can't do it.

1245
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: I was in like a bar and a restaurant in

1246
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: my family watching these games. I even text you in

1247
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 2: the middle because like I lost my stream and I ATV.

1248
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 2: I was like, I lost my stream. I can't watch

1249
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 2: the anthing. Right now. I'm on game day and that's

1250
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: when that team minting happened. I'm texting me like this

1251
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 2: something as bad as it looks on the app. We

1252
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: were like, it's pretty bad. So like my sister was

1253
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 2: a little frustrated for a little but I'm watching the

1254
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 2: messive like I gottatch the team. It's like, all right,

1255
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 2: it's fine. Then she's watching it too, and the whole

1256
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 2: fimly's like held around my iPhone watching the Mets. And

1257
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: then we just stumbled upon like a dream restaurant for me,

1258
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 2: a folk glute free restaurant, and it was so fucking good.

1259
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: Were in pasta, I was having toast and bread. I

1260
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 2: was just going off. But it was like once this

1261
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 2: whole thing happened in the ninth and tenth inning, I

1262
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 2: got really hot, like I got red and I was

1263
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 2: like I gotta walk outside, and I was just standing.

1264
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 2: I was standing on the street after the Mets blue

1265
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 2: this game like in Italy, just being like I just

1266
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 2: can't go back and I can't go back in there.

1267
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: I took I was wearing like two I was like

1268
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 2: a sweather in your shirt, like I took the Sweather off.

1269
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: It was like fifty degrees. I was wearing shortly shirt

1270
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: like pacing around the street. I was like, I can't

1271
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: this team is making me feel really like shit right now,

1272
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: I was making feel really bad. I just can't. I

1273
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: can't be in there around these people. It was it

1274
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 2: was bad, it was bad. But again, thank god they won.

1275
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: Now we have the Red Series coming up here, go

1276
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: ahead and do our quick little series preview going up

1277
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: against the old Cincinnati Reds, and they're not the Cincinnati

1278
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: Reds of the past. This is a very good Cincinnati

1279
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: Red's team that will beat the Mets if they do

1280
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: not play good baseball four and two, I believe going

1281
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: into the series.

1282
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: What are our pitching matchups looking like? There James pitching

1283
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: matchups for the series the Mets, I think again, similar

1284
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: to missing Tyrek, school Ball are getting a bit lucky.

1285
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 2: Even though this Red's rotation is strange right now, we're

1286
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 2: missing the Ace of all ass Frankie Mantas Friday, six

1287
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: forty pm games at your clocks for that one, Hose

1288
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: Katana versus Hunter Green. You guys have heard me wax

1289
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 2: poetic about hund Degree in the show before. He's like,

1290
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 2: he's like if Spencer Streider didn't have a publicist and

1291
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 2: had a much worse home park, a much worse team

1292
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 2: behind him. Because he's throwing a hundred miles an hour fastballs,

1293
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 2: breaking off slide. There's new spli, the new curveball. He's

1294
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 2: very good pitcher. He's a good picture more so again

1295
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 2: but like in theory than on the field right now,

1296
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 2: because the things he does are disgusting, but he's found

1297
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: ways to always get hit. And then Saturday, I'm doing

1298
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 2: math Ron Now, okay, so there's a four to ten

1299
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 2: game on the six hour time difference to my ESPN

1300
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 2: on my Internet, I'm doing this podcast in the morning,

1301
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: Marks doing in the middle of the night, which is fun,

1302
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 2: fun wrinkle for the show. Three yeah for me. Nine

1303
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: twenty three Luis Luis Evreno versus Nick Martinez. Nick Martinez

1304
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: could Old Padrick converted reliever to a star that he

1305
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 2: looks He's been fine. You could definitely hit him, especially

1306
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. And then Sunday, Sean and I versus Andrew Rabbit.

1307
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 2: Andrew Rabbit burst scene last year. Andrew Abbit is not

1308
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 2: NAE season diving for us. I think I think the

1309
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: Mets could really rip rip Martinez and Abbit off. This

1310
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 2: is We've seen this in the past with the Mets.

1311
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: You go to Cincinnati, there's where cold bast go to

1312
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: get hot. This is where hot pitching goes to get cold.

1313
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 2: And I feel like, especially going to Atlanta after I'm scared,

1314
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: that is exactly what's gonna happen this Mets team. We're

1315
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: gonna be able to mistime everything. But yeah, I'll take

1316
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 2: that just to the offense to come around. And I

1317
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 2: talked about the schedule a lot. Cincinnati Reds are coming

1318
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: off a series where they beat the Phillies. I talked

1319
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 2: about the asaf Frankie Montas ver Zaq Wieler A couple

1320
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 2: nights ago. I watched that two o'clock in the morning

1321
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: in Italy because I'm a sick freak. Franki Montas goes

1322
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,479
Speaker 2: toto Zaq Willian beats him. I got flamed by Mets

1323
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 2: fans for saying I want Frankie Montas in this team.

1324
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: I said Frankie Montas by a lot over Lucas gi Alito.

1325
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 2: People said I was an idiot. People didn't people didn't

1326
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 2: see the vision. Not true, because it's awesome. But the

1327
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: Reds to start the season Nationals, Phillies, Mets. Why are

1328
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 2: the Reds home and away just playing analyst Teeds to

1329
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: start the clue? Whoever that seventy five year couple as

1330
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 2: it makes major League Baseball. They don't do it anymore. No, no,

1331
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,479
Speaker 2: I'm making the joke. Yeah, they bring them back because

1332
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: whatever computer program is making the schedule fucking sucks that

1333
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 2: the Mets are Also the Mets are in three series

1334
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: in the row Central teams. Wow, why is this? And

1335
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 2: then five out of over for six series just with

1336
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 2: the Braves sprinkled Central teams. Stupid as hell. But this

1337
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: Red team is fun. I want you talk about some

1338
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 2: of the hitters right now, and it's it's just gonna

1339
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 2: be bad box baseball on Sinci. Yeah, you got a

1340
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: Elie de la Cruz.

1341
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: He's obviously the most exciting player I think on this team.

1342
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: He hasn't been particularly playing well to start the year,

1343
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: but he just has the ability to put up four

1344
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: home runs in this series like it's absolutely nothing. He

1345
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: does struggle from the right hand side. He's a switch hitter,

1346
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: does not see lefties well. He might not even necessarily

1347
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: play when Kintana's on the mound or manayah necessarily. He

1348
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: had didn't play last year when the Mets had lefties

1349
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: on the mound. So something to keep an eye out for.

1350
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan India could be a trade piece at some point

1351
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: by the Cincinnati Reds. He's playing some good baseball. And

1352
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: then you have Spencer Steer, who's a good hitter, Christian

1353
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: and Karnassio and Strand is a young rookie who's got

1354
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: some crazy power, not playing well. Good power though. Will Benson,

1355
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: Jake Frayley, Nick Martini get used to hearing those names

1356
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: because none of them are particularly good, but they're all

1357
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna be really annoying and they're gonna play well.

1358
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I grew through on Martini, but Benson

1359
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 2: and Frailey are major League baseball players, like they're the

1360
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 2: kind of player that you'll never respect, but I love

1361
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 2: correct they are.

1362
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: They existed a vacuum of They work perfectly in Cincinnati

1363
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: because they can hit the ball soft and get home runs.

1364
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: But you put them on the twenty nine other teams

1365
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball and they probably don't start again.

1366
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: Will Benson, I think, well, because we will. Benson has

1367
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: done something where the Cleveland Guardians are becoming the new

1368
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Cardinals, where if altfielder leaves their organization, they

1369
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: become superstars. And I'm being hyperbolic. Will Benson is not

1370
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 2: a superstar. But his only problem because he's like a

1371
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 2: big physical dude. He was a high draft pick, major power,

1372
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 2: major physical tools. Fast. Oh, his whole thing was just

1373
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 2: I'm swinging at every single pitch. And now he'sn'ta do

1374
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 2: that anymore. He stopped chasing as much and he makes

1375
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: crazy contacts. Still he's awesome. He's a good baseball player.

1376
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 2: He's gonna hit home run the series book, I guarantee it.

1377
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 2: But this Red teams, they just they throw a lot

1378
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 2: of shit the wall hitting because they know they can,

1379
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 2: and then the pitching is kind of like what they

1380
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 2: can get out. If Fernando Cruz has had a really

1381
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 2: good year to open the boat, the bullpen open season,

1382
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 2: the bullpen for the Reds, Alexis Dias has struggled a

1383
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 2: bit out of the gate. This bullpen is it's it's

1384
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 2: he's very gallible. Starting rotation is very gallible. What they

1385
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: have right now, it's just like, let's if you guys

1386
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 2: score six runs, probably the winning games Cincinnati, though, so

1387
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 2: I think I think this mess offense, if they're actually

1388
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 2: if physical in door play as well, can actually do that.

1389
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: And it's just I would like them to do that. Yeah,

1390
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 2: it would be really really nice to just see some

1391
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 2: home runs from guys not named Pete Alonzo. That would

1392
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: be fun. Yeah, And I think that that's good for

1393
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: the Reds preview. But we told you guys, now, one game,

1394
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: one day week, we're gonna give you guys a shit

1395
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 2: take of the week, and we had a few for

1396
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 2: this episode, but we're gonna save them, I think, because

1397
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 2: briefly we want to do some prospect stuff. Just want

1398
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 2: to talk about Christian Scott makes debut for Triple A

1399
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: Syracuse yesterday and was fucking disgusting. The nineteen swings and

1400
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 2: misses in only four innings with nine strike guys, gave

1401
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: three earned runs. He got hit up a little bit,

1402
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: got some uh, got some Hart contact against him, but

1403
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 2: amazing fast up in the zone, great sliders and sweepers

1404
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: look down. He was really burying his again on the SICCO.

1405
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: I was up two o'clock in the morning watching Christian

1406
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: Scott pitch in Italy on the MILBTV app. He was

1407
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 2: really doing good job. This is the Yankee Triple A teams.

1408
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 2: Graham Wilkesbury doing a really good job against leftes, burying

1409
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 2: that like little tight slide he has like on the

1410
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: hands to lefties while dropping the sweepers on their feet

1411
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 2: and doing all that on the outside of a right

1412
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 2: handed batter. So good for Christian Scott gave up some runs,

1413
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 2: but I think there's a situation where some of the

1414
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 2: most pitches of minor leagues. Results matter far less than

1415
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,959
Speaker 2: what you're doing with pitches. And he was doing forty

1416
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 2: five percent fastballs, thirty percent gyros, and like fifteen percent

1417
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 2: sweepers and changeups. Working on that sweeper, make sure you

1418
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 2: could throw that working on that change up, make sure

1419
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 2: could throw that pitch to the lefties, and just like

1420
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: kind of just in dating minor league hitters with velocity

1421
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: because like we haven't we talked about the show if

1422
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 2: you throw ninety five and triple A, like you're gonna

1423
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 2: murder triple A hitters. And then Yankees to make some

1424
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 2: good contact again, had some good heart contact, but got

1425
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 2: swings and misses using all four pitches. Good stuff. And

1426
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 2: also as we're starting that year in Syracuse, so ironic

1427
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 2: because how bad this Mets team is hitting Louis and

1428
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 2: On helcoone Anddrew Gilbert first this season, really bad, not

1429
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 2: doing anything all striking out. No power from either of them.

1430
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: Mark Vanzos is carrying that Syriakise lineup right now. It's

1431
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 2: actually got started the season. But that's wherever I Jose

1432
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 2: glacis of course taking the taking the strong spring great

1433
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: to the great White North. Yeah.

1434
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: No, with Christian Scott too, And there's been a little

1435
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: bit of buzz, especially from the s and Y Booth

1436
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: of like maybe Christian Scott should be getting to look

1437
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: here when we have these pictures going down, like Tyler

1438
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: and McGill, like, is this the Christian Scott time? Every

1439
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: start that he has that continues to look good is

1440
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: one more start closer to him coming up to the

1441
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: major league level. And it seems like we will be

1442
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: seeing him in no time as long as he continues.

1443
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: And again, pitching this Mets team right now is not

1444
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: the problem. Not the problem. Next time we talk to

1445
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 2: you guys, it might be the problem. It could be

1446
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 2: right now April fifth. It is not the problems. We

1447
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 2: can hang our hats on that. Wait.

1448
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: Also, the McGill family tough weekend. Did you see what

1449
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: happened to Trevor? No, oh my god, So Tyler and

1450
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,919
Speaker 1: McGill obviously didn't pitch well, got hurt shoulder Mari whatever

1451
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: was going on with him, shoulder inflammation. Trevor got food

1452
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: poisoning one of the days in New York City, went

1453
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: back to Milwaukee. After feeling terrible from the food poisoning,

1454
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: went to a phone store, passed out in the phone store,

1455
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: hit his head concussion. I l tough weekend for the mcgills.

1456
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 2: Shut up. I've the six hour time they're done missing

1457
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 2: so much good baseball on news because you wake up

1458
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 2: and try to grab it and it's like not there,

1459
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 2: all six ft eight of them.

1460
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: He could have gotten seriously, seriously hurt. The guy's in

1461
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: a store and passes out because he was so weak

1462
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: from the food poisoning in New York.

1463
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 2: That's funny. I finally pass out. Story with my life once.

1464
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 2: I'm not me. But when my friends chupry college, she

1465
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: we just like become friends and like it was like

1466
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 2: Sunday hungover like ol Chipotle, and it was like one

1467
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 2: of the first time we ever hung out and got

1468
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 2: food like a group of people, and she just passed

1469
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 2: out in Melchipotle. Nice. They just crumbled. I was like,

1470
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what's going on? What's going on I

1471
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 2: was going out and she's two seconds later just walked up.

1472
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: She's like, oh my god, just dehydration. But yeah, passing

1473
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 2: out scary, scary thing. I hope I did it.

1474
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: Back in January, when I was getting my infusion for crozesase,

1475
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: I decided, you know, it would be a good idea

1476
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: to not eat food or drink anything until four o'clock

1477
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: when I'm getting my infusion. The guy puts in the

1478
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: needle to my arm or the ivy to my arm.

1479
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: Missed.

1480
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: My vein told me I missed. I could feel that

1481
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: he missed, and I went ooh, don't feel great. And

1482
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: then apparently I just put my head down passed out.

1483
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: And then he shook me and I woke up, like

1484
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: what happened.

1485
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 2: He's like, you passed?

1486
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: I was, Oh, I'm sweaty, I'm so warm right now.

1487
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: Like this terrible bad feeling.

1488
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 2: No fun. Passing Out's not fun. Shout to McGill family.

1489
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 2: Trevor couldn't have passed out in one of that series

1490
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 2: though definitely not. Of course I couldn't passed down the
