1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Get Up, Get Up.

2
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Yep, it's gonna be one of those episodes. Let's just

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: rip the band aid off. Let's talk about it as

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: I pour myself here a nice, nice cold cores light.

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: The Mets had a bad series. The Mets had a really,

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: really bad series against the Nationals. There's no way around it.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: It's very frustrating. We're gonna talk about it briefly. There's

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: no reason to dive deep into these games as we

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: have or have before. You guys watched them, you saw them,

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: you went through it just like we did. But we

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: will talk about what happened. If you aren't following us

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: on our social media, make sure you are at metst

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: up on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. If you're looking for

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: the YouTube video, go over to the New York Mets

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: YouTube channel. You'll be able to find it over there.

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: If you're listening to US Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Odyssey,

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: wherever you listen, drop us a rating, drop us a review. James,

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: I know you're out in Columbus. I'm sure you had

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: a good time. We'll divulge into that a little bit

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: later maybe, but I mean, we just let's just rip

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: this band aid off and talk about one of the

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: most disappointing series of the year. Yeah.

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Literally, I think'll be the worst series since they got

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: swept by the Astros for the second time. I think, like,

25
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: if I can't remembering, maybe this Yankee two Game one too.

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: But at least the Mets played like somewhat decent baseball

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: in those This seemed after a series where we gave

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: them met so much credit and even in our personal

29
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: conversations about like never losing focus, always being locked in,

30
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: always doing the right things every single chance they got,

31
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: it just seemed like it was just a lack of

32
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: daysgal series and that's the kind of thing that happens,

33
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: like in August September. You wish it wouldn't have happened. Yeah,

34
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: you wish it wouldn't happen to a team that has

35
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: the second best record in baseball, that is, needs every

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: single win possible to win their division and get that

37
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: first that covered the first round by a boy the

38
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: best of three. But it was bad. There's no two

39
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: way slices that this was a really bad baseball.

40
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, like they won Game one and it

41
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: felt good. It felt good after Game one, like no

42
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: doubt the game wasn't necessarily like domination. Like the final

43
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: score was what's seven three, seven four, I think or

44
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: seven to seven threes, And it wasn't like a dominant

45
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: game I want, I don't want to say, because like

46
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: Peterson did have his ups and downs a little bit,

47
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: he wasn't necessarily as smooth as he has been in

48
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: the past. But at least the Mets bats were there,

49
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: and the Mets were smacking around Josiah Gray, they smacked

50
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: around the Nationals bullpen. They were able to get those

51
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: runs on the board and show like, oh, we're just

52
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: better than the Nationals. But it did feel like that

53
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: feeling of oh, we don't even have to necessarily play

54
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: well to beat the Nationals maybe carried into Game two

55
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: and three as well.

56
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Fred and Night was not I mean you

57
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: kind of allude to this. It wasn't like an easy win.

58
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: This wasn't like a win where I'm like, I'm confident

59
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: we're better than this team. It was just like we

60
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: won a game because you had better players. But there

61
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: was plenty of moments in that game where couldn't have

62
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: gotten that way because I agree didn't come out for

63
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: that last inning if he had just gotten yanked the

64
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: ending before they he probably should have because he was

65
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: kind of getting by without being that effective. I think

66
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: he had more walks than strikeouts, which is a pretty

67
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: bad thing to be doing. And David Peterson also had

68
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot of tense moments. He pitched very well overall,

69
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: and I we'll talk about him briefly, but he just

70
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: there were a lot of moments with there were a

71
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of men on base, which these are like he

72
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: does this, this kind of David Peterson mantra, a couple

73
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: of walks, lots of hits, there's lots of balls in

74
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: play whenever he wasn't throwing his slide there and it

75
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: could have been different early and then where I wound

76
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: up that we just kind of outlasted than won it late.

77
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: But even that one win was just it wasn't as

78
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: comfortable to should have been.

79
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I want to pull a silver lining out

80
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: of it, I think the growth of David Peterson, I

81
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: think we've seen it every single start. And again, why,

82
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: like we just alluded to that he didn't necessarily pitch

83
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: his best. The slider was still disgusting, which we know

84
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: is just one of the best sliders in baseball, especially

85
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: from a lefty. And then two, I think these are

86
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: starts in the past where David Peterson might have had

87
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: a tendency to get down on himself, but the emotions

88
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: get the best of one, maybe get Luke crumble a

89
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: little bit. And this one he really did battle through

90
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: it because again it wasn't easy, but it wasn't bad.

91
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Like he gave up three in runs, like that's acceptable,

92
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: especially when you don't have your good stuff.

93
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: And this is like broken record stuff. Because we've been

94
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: saying this a lot about how much David Peterson has grown,

95
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: and the big thing I've seen his growth, along with

96
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: just changing up his pitch mix and his strategies a

97
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: little bit, is finding ways to get out of those

98
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: innings and not letting himself spiral, not not letting the

99
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: emotions seep into the game, and just staying on, staying on,

100
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: staying on in this game. Like you did a great

101
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: job with that, cause like second third inning, there was traffic, traffic,

102
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot of tense pitches, a lot of stress. He

103
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: ended up getting to the sixth inning not making through.

104
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: The final line was five and a third, six k's,

105
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: one walk, eight hits, three earned, So his eight hits

106
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: was a lot like that. But it wasn't like I

107
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: don't know some ball. Plenty of balls were hit hard,

108
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: but also plenty were not. It was just this was

109
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: a game, a regular game.

110
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: It was baseball.

111
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of baseball. But the thing,

112
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: the saving grace always with him now past the mental development,

113
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: is this slider had eleven whiffs on nineteen swings, mostly

114
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: against Righty's was a very right handed heavy lineup the

115
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: Nationals throughout him. But it's incredible that he's found a

116
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: way to just completely neutralize rities because of how good

117
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: that pitch is, so tough with the split two yep.

118
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: And this was the most slider whifs in any start

119
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: he's had this year, also second most in his career

120
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: dating back to that dominant start he had September twenty

121
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: twenty against Atlanta that was fourteen whiffs. It's just it

122
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: was it was none hitable pitch, and he had very

123
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: good command of his fastball change were good enough to

124
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: get through when he had to, and he did get

125
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: knocked out on that double by Vargas. I forgot his

126
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: first name.

127
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: You forgot Il Tomorrow's first name.

128
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: That's like I thought it was Ill Tomorrow. Wasn't he

129
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: didn't he was? He not in the Nationals like last

130
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: year he was a Diamondback, and I didn't want to

131
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: think that he jumped teams. I'm not going to assume

132
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: Ill Tomorrow.

133
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you were correct. El Tomorrow started off

134
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: with the Diamondbacks and then he went to the Twins

135
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: for a brief time, the Cubs, the Pirates, back to

136
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks, back to the Cubs, and now to the Nationals.

137
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: I I remember seeing ild Tomorrow Vargas's name on MLB

138
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: the Show, which I'm an avid player of and I

139
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: former former former MLB the show content creator might be

140
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: again someday, But I saw that name and I was like,

141
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: that's a name I just simply will never forget, Like

142
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: name a random player. Il Demargo, Il Tomorrow Vargas him

143
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: and Domingo Leaba. Those are two names that just like

144
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: I'll never forget.

145
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always love Germo Moa. I always thought that

146
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: was such a cool name.

147
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: Germo Mota talk about a guy that like I hate,

148
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: I hate, and then he came to the Mets and

149
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: was good, Like remember what was it spring training where

150
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: he had like that weird beef with Piazza where he

151
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: used to throw at him in spring training all the time.

152
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you're a relief pitcher, like

153
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: you're just like a big guy who relies on heat velocity.

154
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: He had one of those classic heavy fastballs, like you

155
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: got a certain dominance over the best player in your team.

156
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: But I digress. We could talk about that all day.

157
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: I would rather I mean, I don't really want to

158
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: talk about the Mets losing to the Nationals. I want

159
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: to forge.

160
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a couple of tiny little positives they

161
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: also want to say from this as well. Michael Gibbons

162
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: did have a good outing. He came in with He

163
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: came in relief of ped This in the middle of

164
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: that sixth inning with a man on second. I believe

165
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the arm of Argus after that double got out of

166
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: the clean pitch. Another good one that was cool. Escobar

167
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: home run from the right side. Pete had a home

168
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: run to break the tide. Jazia rags loves giving up

169
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: home runs. And then this was a fine game.

170
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a fine game. The Mets one as

171
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: they should. Game two, Game three, as we know, the

172
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: story changes We're not going to go through play by

173
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: play and in binding with these ones because it's just

174
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: you guys know it. And I've talked to some people

175
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: this weekend or during the week when I was at

176
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: the games. Some people were like, yeah, the Lost episodes,

177
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: they're tough, just because, like I gotta go through everything

178
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: over and over again. It's like you're you're pooring salt

179
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: in the wound. And I get it. And I feel

180
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: like this one in particular, don't want to focus as

181
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: much on the losses as maybe we have in the past,

182
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: just because it's I mean, I haven't me and you both,

183
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: I don't feel.

184
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: Like have done like the.

185
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: Like the sigh, like the deep breath sigh. It was

186
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: just super disappointed. It was super frustrating. It was one

187
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: of the few times this year where I've I've felt

188
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: frustrated watching the Mets, and it was just because the

189
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: bats weren't there. Sures are pitched well, but obviously came

190
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: out of the game early. Carrasco on his side, maybe

191
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: he wasn't ready, I don't know, he just wasn't sharp.

192
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: Like there was just things that made this so frustrating.

193
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: On top of the fact that the Mets weren't swinging

194
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: the bats at all.

195
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I goes blessed on Saturday. This game was on

196
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the exact same time Ohio State the other day.

197
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: Yea.

198
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: And there's absolutely no service inside the Ohio Stadium because

199
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: there's like one hundred and ten thousand people in the stadium,

200
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: probably another fifteen thousand in the parking lot at the

201
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: bars around it. So it's like it's complete chaos. And

202
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: also because everyone stick us around their phone. Now that's

203
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: a changed since I was STU then, so I know

204
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: one's gonna have service. So I kept the Ticketmasters link

205
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: open up all day and then like teen is before

206
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: we were about to walk in. Well, first of all,

207
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: I realized I didn't have it. I actually I was like,

208
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: oh crap. I left tail get I was at. I

209
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: went to a hotel by campus, same as hotel called

210
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: the Blackwell, got on their Wi FI, got the tickets back.

211
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: He do you move? And then I went back and

212
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm showing my friend I got two tickets right here,

213
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: and accidentally, when I clicked the screen I went back,

214
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: I did like half a swipe and we looked at

215
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: each other like.

216
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: Oh.

217
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: We literally hustled like we like went on foot like trudge,

218
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: threw like shrubs and like grass, like got enough away

219
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: to get serviced and then got it and then ran

220
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: back in. But I didn't know any of this happened

221
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: until like literally like midnight, Like I didn't know Shares

222
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: left the game. I didn't realize that, like the plug

223
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: games open against the bullpen, and I was just like, ah, damn,

224
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I really would like to win this one because we

225
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: were also similar to the ground start against Washington that

226
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: we were at, we were some of the biggest favorites

227
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: in a game all year.

228
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: I hate that so much.

229
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: I know we were. We were over like minus four

230
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: hundred the money line, so he would.

231
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: Have had the baseball game.

232
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: The line closed at minus four twenty, so you would

233
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: have had to bet four hundred twenty dollars in the

234
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Mets to win one hundred dollars, which.

235
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: Is just like in baseball, that's never a good bet.

236
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: As much as you know the Met should have won

237
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: this game, though, I think that just shows even more

238
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: and like it sucks because Sure's are like was cruising,

239
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: he like he kind of was good and then he

240
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: just felt his left side it didn't feel great. Gotta

241
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: trust him. The dude's a veteran. He clearly knows his

242
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: body better than anybody else. So we got side on

243
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: the air of caution here and he was just like,

244
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: you know what, I think it's best to come out

245
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: of this game in it. It felt like at the

246
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: time that might have maybe like deflated taking this was

247
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: it taking the win out of the sales?

248
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go.

249
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm figuring out the sayings here.

250
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: It's raise guy.

251
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a frase guy. But like from that moment on,

252
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: it just felt different, felt different in the stadium, felt different,

253
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: like watching the team they're just again, it felt just

254
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: very much going through the motions these last two games,

255
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: especially the second half of Game two, like there really

256
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: is no excuse not to hit Patrick Corbin.

257
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: They didn't.

258
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: It stinks, but and I don't know why either. I

259
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: really can't figure out why they didn't, because like, this

260
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: team is good offensively, so why not hitting Patrick Corben

261
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: or even Eric Fetty for the matter of the fact,

262
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: guys who they've smacked all year, Like they're just not

263
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: good pitchers.

264
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: There's also been plenty of times that where each of

265
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: those guys since they've been on these teams have had

266
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: the Mets number. And I also know that like Corbin

267
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: has been trending up of late, like he's not he's

268
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: not been like the Krok, like the Patrick Corbin he

269
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: ever like used to be. Yeah, but he's not, like

270
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: he's not terrible anymore, Like I guess he actually hasn't

271
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: pretty awful.

272
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: Still, Well, I I was raiting. I was like, well,

273
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: I mean.

274
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: He's been so bad will mess I mean his last

275
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: four starts, he's been a competent.

276
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean he had a great start against

277
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: them in Game two, which is yeah, and.

278
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: He's been throwing a lot more stickers and the Mets

279
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: scene has just been hitting a lot of stickers to

280
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: the ground. I like, I didn't watch the game, so

281
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: I passed through a lot more like statistically then I

282
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: have been recently, like the shows and stuff. I still

283
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: feel okay about because like his V alone, his spin

284
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: were pretty okay towards the end of his start. So

285
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: again just like trust Max, do what you gotta do,

286
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: and that kind of left the bullpens him like just

287
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: like struggling with patch it together out of you know,

288
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: gave up his first run since August seventeenth.

289
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: Still really good.

290
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: No, incredible. No, But like solo home run the lane Thomas,

291
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: he's given up six up. The last seven earned runs

292
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: he's allowed are all on individual solo home runs.

293
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: Interesting, that's weird.

294
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: That is weird.

295
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: I guess it's just just one of those things, like

296
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: a guy with like that kind of spin and stuff

297
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: can be susceptible to the long ball too, especially wh

298
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: one just sticks out there and I know, like it

299
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: also those those of venal runs stay all the way.

300
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: Back to May.

301
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's all the time. Yeah, that's been lights out.

302
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: I don't I will say, in like the hullabaloo that

303
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: has been met social media recently with these last two games,

304
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: I will say, I'm glad to see that no one's

305
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: like calling for out of you know, because like he's

306
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: just been so cash money's so good, you're gonna give

307
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: up runs. Like at the end of the day, the

308
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 2: Mets scored one run off of Patrick Corby in the

309
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: Nationals bullpen, Like that's just you don't win a lot

310
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: of games scoring one run, and especially when you're playing

311
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: Patrick Corbin, Like that's cool.

312
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Now. Bryce monteste oh Oka, yeah oka osa.

313
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: Bryce montas Deoka yeahka do you remember when we were

314
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn last year when we were doing the interviews,

315
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: he was there, Which is cool because that's been a

316
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: quick it's been a quick come up for Bryce Montesteoka.

317
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: That was one of the guys because I look through

318
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: the rosters, that's a that's a fun name, that's a name,

319
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: my life name. Montesteoka. The dude is an absolute unit and.

320
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: He throws heat like he had that nice one hundred

321
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: mile an hour slider that a sinker that had movement colors,

322
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: sat in ninety three ninety five and the slider that

323
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: was eighty six to eighty eight that had a little

324
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: bit more movement. I mean, I think kind of like hilariously,

325
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: like he has almost the exact same profile as Colin

326
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: Holderman who we trade away a month ago, and he

327
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: just throws a little bit harder on every pitch.

328
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I'm interested to see what he can do.

329
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 2: H young guy. We saw him come up all the

330
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: way from Brooklyn, Like we said, so I was, if

331
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna take a silver lining out of that game,

332
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Rice Mount to Steoka some good stuff because as we know,

333
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: the ninth inning got away from us really quickly and

334
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: we don't have to talk about that much. No, yeah, whatever,

335
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: Game three, Game three, real quick. I mentioned it earlier.

336
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: It seems like Carrasco just wasn't wasn't right. I don't

337
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: want to say he wasn't ready, because we don't know.

338
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: No he What happened with Carrasco is he just the

339
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: command wasn't there, Like the velocity of the stuff was

340
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: all there. And then people say, like a lot of

341
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: research shows that when the picture were turning from injury,

342
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: depending on the severity, it's easier for your stuff to

343
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: come back before your command. And Carrasco is the guy

344
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: who very much relies on command. He lives in the

345
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: shadow of the zone. His chase raised amazing, his sinker,

346
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: his fastball, and his slide, they're all just because he

347
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: couldn't hit a spot. He was getting some with the

348
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: change up, but it was just all three of those

349
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: pitches they were either at the strike's owner in the

350
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: heart of the zone. It's not It wasn't the crassic

351
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: we've seen all year, And I I don't I'm not

352
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: gonna speculate what happened, just like that is what happened.

353
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just didn't have his stuff. Trevor Williams came

354
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: in for him afterwards. Trevor Williams was solid. Did give

355
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: up a run though, give up to run Homer too,

356
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: says are Hernandez, who hadn't hit win in like five

357
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: hundred played appearances.

358
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: So and coming off our drinks episode, no one jinks that.

359
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 2: Right, No, no, no, no, we nobody said anything about uh,

360
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: saysar Hernandez. I mean he's a Met killer. We've we

361
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: knew that from when he was with Philly, Like he

362
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: just he puts up numbers against the Mets, and I

363
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: know you're you're a fan of it.

364
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: Was a ballplayer too, He's a fine ball player. I

365
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: just I'm a big fan of him because when you

366
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: play like the deep, deep deep fantasy baseball leagues, you

367
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: love having Hernandez in the mix. Who can like you know,

368
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna get five hundred of bats. It's like he's

369
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: gonna hit two sixty five, He's gonna score like eighty runs.

370
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: Like he's he's like he's like the blandest kind of oatmeal.

371
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: Like he's owped me without seasoning, Like he's open me

372
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: without fruit, without sugar, without maple syrup. He's he's literally

373
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: plain oatmeal, but like sometimes it just helps you poop.

374
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: I know you were in a lot of deep fantasy leagues,

375
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: says are Hernandez on any of those rosters.

376
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm in a I have a there's a set.

377
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: There's a fantasy baseball game style on the NFB which

378
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: is like a high profile fantasy site. It's called the

379
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: Draft and Hold where you do a fifty person draft,

380
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: like not like fifty players in a fifteen team league

381
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: and there's no waivers in the entire season.

382
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

383
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: And actually as team I, says are on, he's been

384
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: like a great plug and play guys to get at bats,

385
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: get at bats that he was doing so well all

386
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: year until freaking hater ruins me.

387
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hater's not been good, to say the least since

388
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: going to San Diego. Did the Brewers know?

389
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: Also, Caleb Ferguson starting for the Dodgers.

390
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: What's that gotta be an opener situation thing, right?

391
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't do many openers ever.

392
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: Now, David Price, I think is making a start too

393
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: soon or something like that, which is also interesting. My

394
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: fantasy season is pretty much over them. In the league

395
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: that I'm in with you that I was, I inherited

396
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: one of the worst ever, one of the worst teams ever.

397
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy who drafted this team originally or

398
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: put it together couldn't have known anything about baseball.

399
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: That league existed for ten years before you got in.

400
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: I think it was just a guy who, like in

401
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: the last two years, he kind of fell off and

402
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: it was poorly managed.

403
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: That makes sense. I mean, like, let me tell you,

404
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: come twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five, my team

405
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: is set. With got Marco Luciano, We got George Vlaira,

406
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: a lot of thanks to you. James was our trade

407
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: that we made. But I've got a lot of young guys.

408
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: I've made some great waiver wire pickups. This team is

409
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: low key. You gotta keep an eye out for me

410
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: next year. What about you, You got any you're making any

411
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: deep runs in the playoffs because it's September now.

412
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: I told you guys this before, but I am absolutely

413
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: multitasking right now because in my most highly contested, highly

414
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: competitive dynasty league shoutout cousin URI's League, shoutout Commissioner Ryan,

00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,600

419
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: average like three to four hundred points a week, like

420
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: his points league were kind of low scoring. We right

421
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: now I am up on him six points, nine hundred

422
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: seventy eight and nine hundred and seventy two. The next

423
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: closest playoff team to our point TOAL has seven hundred forty.

424
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,840

00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: texting all day, going back and forth. This is an

427
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840

428
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: profile dynasty leagu'es out there. Sixteen teams, forty five man rosters.

429
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: It's intense, and we're we're going so back and forth.

430
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I have not had one bad pitcher start this week

431
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: except for Mantas on Monday. But they came back all

432
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: the way with it today, a great one. Zach Allen

433
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,239

00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: Thatach Allen's a bete.

435
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: So he's been so good. He's been like he for

436
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: like a month and a half now. He's been like

437
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: the lead every single time after like give it up

438
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: a run six points. He has Freeman and Evan Phillips

439
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: middle relief on the Dodgers, and I am in my heart,

440
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,800

446
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:33,960

00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: Seats is about a hundred flat and then standing they

467
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: squeeze like eight to ten k more in there.

468
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: That's so big. I think South Carolina's like in the

469
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: eighties and gets to nineties with standing, but that's that's different.

470
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: That's twenty thousand more people.

471
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: And like, I'm just a veteran at finding student tickets

472
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: at this point. So me and my buddy's brother we

473
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: got we got tickets. I got them like day of

474
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: like real like real stressful stuff. But I got them

475
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: both like undermarket value, like six rows off the field

476
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: in the south stand student section. And it was like

477
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: those moments where like I don't get to go with

478
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: these games a much anymore. You should never miss one.

479
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: And like him and I, he's a little good in

480
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: us too, so he has the same deal. He actually

481
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: just had a kid who gratulations to tie for that

482
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: they tie we just like had moments who were like

483
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: looking around and just like, I can't believe how many

484
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: people are in here, how many people Like it was

485
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: like standing from beginning to end. There were no moments

486
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: of sitting. There were a lot of tense players in

487
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: that game. Like being around the campus and like partying

488
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: and tailgating was super fun. I met tons of Mets

489
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: fans because a lot of Mother Dame people are Mets people.

490
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: I was spreading the war of the podcast sending out stickers.

491
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully some of those other Dame guys actually caught I'm

492
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: chatting all you guys out now. Hopefully dude did that.

493
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: This also one of the great funniest things that happened

494
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: in this whole weekend. Right before the third charterer started,

495
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State was still down or it was close. Maybe

496
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: it was like a one point game. Shoe usually played

497
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: some like very Ohio based songs in between there hang

498
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: On Sloopy from my weird classic rock fans out.

499
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: There hang On. So I was about to ask, what's

500
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: an Ohio based song? And then you hang that night?

501
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 2: Who what is hang On Sloopy? You're singing that?

502
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't even describe it as probably

503
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: from like the fifties.

504
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look this up real quick. Why you keep dogging?

505
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: But after hang On, Sloopy is national game, so it

506
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: was a little bit more of a commercial break all

507
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, because Ohio State is the best marching

508
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: band on earth. The trumpet player walked out to the

509
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: middle of the end zone with Brutus and Bruce had

510
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: like a fake trumpet two and all of a sudden

511
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: I heard that. I was like, no way. My friend

512
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: like start talkching me. He's like, look what they're doing.

513
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: Look what they're doing, dude. It was the popular song

514
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: around all college football. South Carolina I think did it,

515
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: Alabama did, and I think even tweeted the Mets like

516
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: how did we do? Trumpets are taking the world by store,

517
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: I mean Timmy Trumpets and Blaster Jackson. I think will

518
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: be forever grateful to Edwin DS for making this like

519
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: three four year old song like insanely.

520
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: Popular, fun breaking news for the Mets. Up listeners. Wolmberflores

521
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: walk off home run off David Robertson to sweet for

522
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: the Giants to sweep the Phillies. Take that.

523
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: Everybody who wanted to try for David Robinson. Robertson didn't

524
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: eve get his name right and called him David Robinson

525
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: the Admiral. That would be.

526
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: Incorrect, admiral. But wonderful weekend being in Columbus, like you

Speaker 1: go back to your old favorite restaurants, your old favorite bars.

538
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: The only thing is just terrible and you might know

539
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,439

Speaker 1: the bar. I don't know I'm gonna get it back Friday.

542
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: It's gone.

00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: They my friend who still lives here. She said she

548
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. But wonderful, wonderful weekend altogether, great excuse and not

549
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: watching the Mets game on Saturday, watching it amazingly highly

550
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: contested football game, and lot of confience the rest of

551
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: the season.

552
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little jealous. I'm a little jealous because

553
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: I had the opportunity to go, but I was gonna

554
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: go visit my girlfriend lives in Texas, but instead she

555
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: got six so I couldn't go visit.

556
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: After we like change up to this day accommodations and stuff.

557
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, after you canceled the plans, and I mean, like

558
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: you said, I think I would have enjoyed that a

559
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: little bit more than watching the Mets lose. But that

560
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: being said, I am seeing the panic start to set

561
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: in on Twitter. I am starting to see the crazy

562
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: crazy as really coming out the would work. There's a

563
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: lot of give one uh that the Mets offense thinks

564
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: that this team is just there was Okay, I'm gonna

565
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: read out some funny replies because I did get some

566
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: really good ones, but this one, in particular to me,

567
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: I think was a really good way to somehow the

568
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: season's been right now. And I think this was like

569
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: probably one of the best put takes. This isn't a

570
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: crazy one, this is like really good. And this comes

571
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: from D Money and he says the problem with the

572
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: season is not that the Mets aren't great, but that

573
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: the Braves might be even greater, So we can't relax

574
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: and enjoy this team. Any other division they'd be running

575
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: away with And I was like, that's kind of perfectly said,

576
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 2: Like yeah, the conversation right now by some people that

577
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: I think it's ridiculous. You can be frustrated with the losses,

578
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: but to be frustrated with the team as a whole

579
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: in general in the twenty twenty two season feels insane because,

580
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 2: like D Money said, the Braves are just good. This

581
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: is like the Giants, just like the Giants Dodgers last year.

582
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: Just wants to see the division with one hundred wins.

583
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about that because I think there

584
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: are a lot of parallels to what going on this division,

585
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: what happened that division last year. And I had a

586
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: galaxy brain take today in the shower thinking about it,

587
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: because last year at shower thoughts. It was such a

588
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: it was such a bad situation. It seemed like because

589
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: whoever lost that divisional race was going to wind up

590
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: in the one game Wildcard game. Okay, this year people

591
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: are talking about how much you don't want to go

592
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: in that game because the three game series and a bye.

593
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: But I realized to myself that situation is improved compared

594
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: to last year. For sure, having a three game series

595
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: compared to a one game series. It's still not like

596
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: the end of the end of the end of the

597
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: end of the world. To not win this division. I

598
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 1: still want to do it. I still think we are

599
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: going to do it, so we're still in a great

600
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: position to do it. But it want like, yeah, it's

601
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: almost like there's there is like this inflection point. And

602
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: we learned this from the Dodgers and Giants last year

603
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: killing each other and allowing the Brace to do what

604
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: they did. Just not like there's some kind of spot

605
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: there where you almost lose future value by going too

606
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: hard to do this division thing right now, you know,

607
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know where that point is. I'm not

608
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: making that decision, not that there is even this decision

609
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: to be made, but there's just there's something in between

610
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: there that you almost could do too much now and

611
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: then ruin yourself later. Because the Giants wound up in

612
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: that wildcard game last year, Logan Web was an animal.

613
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Without Logan Web ready for Game one, the Dodgers had

614
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: the advantage over them the five game divisional series and

615
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: the Dodgers going crazy for the entire month of September

616
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: pushing their pitchers as far as they could to avoid

617
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: that game. All the pitchers ran out of guests in

618
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: that Brave series and the Braves took control and the series.

619
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: That is interesting, that's interesting. Take. Yeah, I mean, like

620
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: I think this, like we said, it's kind of something

621
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 2: to perfect, Like both can be true. The Mets can

622
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 2: be good and the Braves can be good, which I

623
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: think at this point we know, like the choke thing

624
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: is just not it's not real. There's no choke going

625
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: on here. Did they did play bad against the National

626
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 2: this weekend, Oh, big times, no doubt about it. But

627
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean they're a bad team. It doesn't mean

628
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: that they're like they're they're going to continue to play bad.

629
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: Like this is still a very very good team. Offensively,

630
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: they're solid, they get hot and cold, just like every

631
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 2: single team in Major League Baseball. The Braves have just

632
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: been really good. And I think if it wasn't for

633
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: the Braves like breathing down our next year and having

634
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: another one of the great years, like the Mets are

635
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 2: still having such a sick year, like you're.

636
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: Gonna win one hundred games that people like pretending like

637
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: it's a choke job. Also, how where do you think

638
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: the Mets rank and total runs scored since August first?

639
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: Since August first? Yeah, I mean Twitter would tell you

640
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: like thirtieth, but I'm gonna go like fifteenth.

641
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: Fifth. Wow, reason of the fifth, I mean, this isn't

642
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: runs per game. It's harder for me to do that

643
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: while I'm talking doing this stuff right now, because I'd

644
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: be a little bit of maths involved. But fifth and

645
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: total runs scored only behind, hilariously, the Arizona Diamondbacks.

646
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: Who've been hot, they've been scalded hot, Corbyn.

647
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: Carroll, let's go over six, six and a half. The

648
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves, Dodgers, and San Luis Cardinals. Hilariously, you don't

649
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: even get an al team until eighth, and that's the

650
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: Red Sox, and then ninth is the Rais who are

651
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: also scalding hot right now.

652
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, like eleventh is the cancer the Royals,

653
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: yea are There's a lot of frustration that has turned

654
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 2: into overreacting.

655
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: No, Like I'm frustrated too, Like I'm very frustrated that

656
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: the Braves couldn't. Like the Braves are having one of

657
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: the best like three month stretches in the history of

658
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: their franchise. I'm frustrated that is happening the same year

659
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: the Mets are having one the best season win loss

660
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: wise in history of their franchise. Like, those two things

661
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: happening at the same time stinks. It makes me mad.

662
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: I get up every day be like, wow, it'd be

663
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: so nice to be able to zone out for this

664
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: September against Like the worst teams in baseball have a

665
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: fifteen game cushion Division clinch. So sick.

666
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: If the Bridge dunk, it would be awesome. If they're terrible,

667
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 2: I would love for them to lay down, but they're not.

668
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: Going doing it.

669
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: It almost like, I mean, this is what to be fair.

670
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 2: If you're a fan of baseball, this this is what

671
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: you want, Like, this is gonna be this is what

672
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: it's all about. This is exciting. We're gonna have playoff

673
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: atmosphere the rest of the way. Like from here on out,

674
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: every game is gonna be intense. Every game is gonna

675
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: be high, high intensity. Stame is gonna be packed like

676
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna be awesome atmosphere. The Mets just have

677
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: to play the baseball that they have all year, which

678
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: is good. You gotta keep doing your game.

679
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: Gonna tell something else funny. I'm just like tracking this

680
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers padres box scorks. I'm really making sure Freddie Fan

681
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't murder my hopes. Caleb fergus Ferguson was the

682
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: opener for Ryan Pepio. Caleb Ferguson, who's like one of

683
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: the best relievers in baseball, who the Mets handled greatly

684
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: last week, a very good reliever that the Mets absolutely

685
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: got to in tremendous fashion as an opener. He just

686
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: struck out has Sung came so though many Machado start

687
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: that game on eleven total bitches.

688
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 2: That's that's crazy.

689
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, just baseball is such a day to day sport.

690
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: It's such a day to day sport. If you have

691
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: any little type of mental weekends on given day and

692
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: the mess have been so good and not having that

693
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: ever this year, being completely focused, completely locked in doing

694
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: every single thing, every little thing, every single day to win,

695
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: just losing that concentration for a little bit. And I

696
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: could see how they would have lost that consentration, like

697
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: message got off a crazy emotional stretch in the schedule,

698
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: very intense stretch. Yankees, Braves, Phillies, Dodgers, like these are

699
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: the teams that if you want to go deep in

700
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: the playoff run, you want to go beat the World Series,

701
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: like those are teams you have to beat. You have

702
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: to know you can beat them. And they're playing them

703
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: over and over again with no off days, with a

704
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: couple of injuries, a couple of the better players also

705
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: not as high as they happen all year, and they

706
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: did great. They did great over that stretch. And now

707
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,239
Speaker 1: you get the Nationals, like I can relax, and then

708
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: like a tiny little thing that happens, like Max is

709
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: leaving a start, you probably lose a little bit of

710
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: concentration and you have to sit everyone's looking at each other.

711
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: We have to get it back together because there's another

712
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: game on Monday at Labor Day at twelve thirty.

713
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: Which is awesome. I love the early start. I here's

714
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: the funny tweet I found it. So this came from

715
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: someone who doesn't with me, but replied, I don't know

716
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: how they got to it, but this wasn'to me, being like,

717
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 2: I'm frustrated, but it's not the end of the world,

718
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: Like this team's still good. It's just it stinks to

719
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: lose a series. The guy goes that speaks to either

720
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: a blind optimism, which we get. We have numbers, we

721
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: have things, we have statistics that we can look at.

722
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 2: It's not it's not blind optimism. It is real optimism.

723
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: If you're gonna call it anything like there's there's truth

724
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: behind it, or b you haven't been a Mets fan

725
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: very long. And then he cited all of all times

726
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: for which we've been alive for. I know you like

727
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: to believe sometimes I don't remember this stuff, but said

728
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine Game six NLCS, two thousand, World Series,

729
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: two thousand and six, Game seven NLCS. He just like

730
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: listed the worst.

731
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: Things I have ever happened.

732
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. What's funny too, is like all these NLCS World

733
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: Series NLCS, like choke in the twenty fifteen World Series

734
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: is like a hilarious sentence to read out loud.

735
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: Like, I mean the mess war leading for that World

736
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: Series more innings than they were trailing, for.

737
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: Sure, but like really at the end of that, like

738
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: the Royals, they won, Like I it wasn't necessarily a choke.

739
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: I don't think like people throw it out the word

740
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 2: choke in sports, anytime a team loses, it feels like

741
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: it's well, it's just.

742
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: Like you're also pulling out like all of the only

743
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: bad things that I have ever happened. I mean, yeah,

744
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: it's like the only way to achieve success is to

745
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 1: win a World Series. Like that is true, but it's

746
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: also not true.

747
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially like the World Series is the end goal.

748
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: That's what we all want. That's what the Mets want,

749
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: That's what everybody who's working in this organization wants. World Series.

750
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: And like I'm sure this guy like cited the fact

751
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: that the Braves are amazing and like you can't stop

752
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: more choking's.

753
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: Division away them, Like if you even say that.

754
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: Of course, if you look at the Mets and Braids

755
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: right now, the Mets have a better record than in

756
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: the season. The Braves of course, in a five game

757
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: winning streak. Oh my god, they don't lose, but we

758
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: have a winning record against them, like we've beaten them

759
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: more time than not. If the Mets haven't handled like

760
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: thoroughly handled the Braves this entire year, we're losing his

761
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: divisions to them.

762
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: Have a winning record against the Dodgers, have a winning

763
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: record against the Braves, have dominated the National League Eese

764
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: this year have been the best record.

765
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Against the Cardinals was a long time ago, but it

766
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: still happened.

767
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: Like with the Yankees to too. And if we saw

768
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: a game five, we know we win that one.

769
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: Of course, one hundred percent, no question about that. Padres

770
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: want team have had a number and they can't even

771
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: play right now.

772
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like the Astros and Mariners, which we got

773
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: like not enough games against Mary Astros beat us, but

774
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: the Mariners just trush. Yeah, but like blind optimism, definitely

775
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: not this team is legitimately good. That's me getting on

776
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: my soapbox. But we share, we share your frustration though

777
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: with this series. I think it we'd be it would

778
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: be foolish of us to pretend like this series didn't

779
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: think didn't frustrate us. But that being said, we do

780
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: have to move on. We don't want to talk about

781
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: this anymore. It's a perfect time to bring in our

782
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: guy Johnny Stats to talk to us a little bit

783
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: about how he's feeling. And uh, you know, we gotta

784
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: talk us the met too. Even even though the Mets lost,

785
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: we still got we still got some fun around here,

786
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: always having fun.

787
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: First of all, first and foremost cheers saw three college

788
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 4: football teams pulling up big dobbs Hoosiers with a massive victory.

789
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 4: I'm sitting in the control room after fireworks on Friday.

790
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: You have ten more seconds to talk about the Hoosis football,

791
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: all right, I'll try.

792
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: I'll try to jam it in real quick. I'm sitting

793
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: there by myself. It's like eleven forty five pm and

794
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: I watch Indiana but together a seventy five yard drive

795
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 4: to beat the Aliini. Incredible vibes. I wish other people

796
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 4: were around to celebrate high five with.

797
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: But it was awesome.

798
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: That tough Wini football team that's spoken highly about year after.

799
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: Year, they never want to know now they're one and one.

800
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 4: I actually, right before you guys brought me in, I

801
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: was just searching Instagram.

802
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: Did you guys see what the Braves did today?

803
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: We did?

804
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: And I felt like bringing up that I said to

805
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: the Mark, I wasn't gonna talk about it.

806
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 2: I mean, let's talk about it a little bit right now.

807
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about it.

808
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: So for those of you who don't know the Braves,

809
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: they're really feeling themselves. They're they're almost getting a little

810
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: too too high, you know, on how high they feel

811
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: about themselves. Wilson churcht We know he does the trumpets.

812
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: It's lame, like shouldn't have even been an All star whatever.

813
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: But after the Mets lost the series to the Nationals,

814
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: because they're in the rain delay, they're playing the game

815
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: on the screen, they start playing the trumpets afterwards, to

816
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: which that's that's an A plus troll job. You got

817
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: to respect the trol when you see it. But man,

818
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: oh man, that's just something that's that's bad juju, that's

819
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: bad energy. Like that's that's little brother syndrome all over again.

820
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: And that's something that the defending world champions you think

821
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: would be a little bit higher than.

822
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: James.

823
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seems like, uh, it seems

824
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: like from their perspective, it's why why even why I

825
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: even't try to do that? Like why who are you

826
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: trying to get mad? Like why are you trying to

827
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: do that? Like, I don't know for a team that

828
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: you've you've lost two more and you've beaten this year,

829
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: a team that you are still behind in the standings against,

830
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: Like it seems like a kind of mark set, like

831
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little brother move.

832
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: It was just it's so bizarre for a team that

833
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: is the defending world champions too. Like I think if

834
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: you're I don't know, like the Miami Marlins and you

835
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: want to do something like that, like you're hot this

836
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: year and you want to you want to have some

837
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: fun because you're like, we're having a miracle season. Let's

838
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: try it. Okay, sure, but you expect a little more

839
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: class from the Braves. But I don't know. I guess

840
00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: that's just Atlanta for you.

841
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh, the priests have no class. They have a racist

842
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: chance that they support as much as they can.

843
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 4: They've made such a big deal about Narco And I've

844
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: seen so much on Twitter recently about like whose song

845
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 4: it is? He was using that song in Seattle. He

846
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 4: went away from it when he came to the Mets.

847
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: I guess to like change of scenery, change of song.

848
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 4: But he was using that song before. William Contreras came

849
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 4: into the big leagues, which, by the way, he made

850
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: his debut at City Field in twenty twenty.

851
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: But like, I mean, facts are facts.

852
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: How could they ever late claim to that song given

853
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: those facts? I don't get it. And then I think

854
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 4: blaster Jackson went on the podcast.

855
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: And was like, no, this isn't Edwin Diaz thing.

856
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Yeah he did. I love that. I love

857
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: to hear that. Blaster Jackson and Timmy Trumpets are both

858
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: like very fully in support DS. This is the Mets

859
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: right now, this is this isn't about you, William Contraras

860
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: not about you, of.

861
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: Course, and it will definitely be weird if the Mets

862
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: and Braves do do cross paths come postseason time, because

863
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: every time Contreres came to the plate in that series

864
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 4: where the Mets were in Atlanta, I think it was

865
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 4: like the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, around that time, mid August,

866
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: and you heard that song.

867
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 3: It was just like, what in the world is going

868
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: on here? It doesn't make sense.

869
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: It's also it's not like, if we're gonna talk about

870
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: the song for a second, like the vibes of the

871
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: song presents, it's not a walk up song. This is again,

872
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: this is a get hyped up song. This is like

873
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm coming in for relief. You let the song play

874
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: out a little bit. You like crowd get Crazy as

875
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: a song where you're walking to the plates like it's weird,

876
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: it's epic.

877
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: It's like it's just like you wouldn't come out to

878
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: enter sand Man, Like that would be like a horrible,

879
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: horrible walk up song.

880
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: Now, hell, hell's the walk up song? What are you doing?

881
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's you made the point, James, like you

882
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: need to you need to get to the drop in

883
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 4: that song, especially, and I mean unless unless you're leading

884
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: off an inning. And I noticed this razor at city Field.

885
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Guys here.

886
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely fascin any sport.

887
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: If you hear the entire so like Jeff McNeil today,

888
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: I noticed he went off the seventh inning for the Mets.

889
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 4: Rock of Ages is his walk up song. Whenever Jeff

890
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 4: McNeil leads off the seventh inning, because we do Lazy

891
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 4: Mary and the seventh stretch, obviously you get to like

892
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 4: a second verse of Rock of Ages that you don't

893
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 4: usually get to hear. And I always, I always say it, like, wow,

894
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 4: you don't usually hear this part of the song, you

895
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: get further in but still for a normal walk up,

896
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 4: Like you don't get that in the entire essence of

897
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: what trumpets is is hearing the entire the build up

898
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 4: the trumpets leads to blaster jacks and then you have

899
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 4: to drop. And that's that's what makes the entire that's

900
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 4: the vibe. That's the vibe. So this debate, it's it's faux.

901
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 4: It's a faux debate, and I think that the Braves

902
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 4: will tell you that. Honestly, I think they're trying to

903
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: start the pot for sure, of course, sorry, but they're

904
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 4: definitely just trying to stir it up and whatever. As

905
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 4: for that troll, you guys know me, I respect the control.

906
00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 3: Of course, every now and again.

907
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: Who doesn't.

908
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, like it's kind of funny, but also at

909
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 4: the same time, if they're actually serious about that being

910
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 4: their thing, it's it's totally not their thing. You know,

911
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 4: whose thing is someone's Luis Garcia's thing.

912
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't even believe this free swinger.

913
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 3: It free swinger.

914
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: I mean that's there was two things in this though.

915
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 2: One he's a free swinger. He swings every single time

916
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: he gets to the plate, if he did.

917
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: He didn't see a ball for the first two games

918
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: of the series.

919
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: He hasn't seen a first pitch. He doesn't want like

920
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: he will swing at every first pitch. But the other

921
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: thing was the Mets just kept throwing them strikes, like, ah,

922
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: throw them the ball. One time.

923
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 4: It was it was wild and you know, we were

924
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 4: kind of on in the control room. It was mentioned

925
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 4: a time or two during the game and yeah, I

926
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 4: texted you guys this morning. He had seen through nine

927
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: plate appearances in the first two games of the series.

928
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 3: He had seen fourteen pitches.

929
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 4: And swung at thirteen of them and the only other

930
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 4: one was a called stripe.

931
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: Guys didn't know. Oh, I lost the estimate.

932
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: For we did lose the estimate.

933
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: James could have guessed it was one, right or no.

934
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: He saw three balls in the end. That's like, a

935
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 2: that's fake. How do you see three balls in three games?

936
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: That doesn't even make sense. That's like, oh, we must

937
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: have pinched hit.

938
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Way to cook and crumbles.

939
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 4: And I think, actually I know because I scored the

940
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 4: game and I keep.

941
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 3: Balls and strikes.

942
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 4: When I scored the game, they were all in one

943
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 4: plate appearance he went in full.

944
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 3: It was and I think his third or fourth plate

945
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 3: appearance today.

946
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: Things kind of got a little great towards the end there,

947
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 4: but yeah, it was all in one plate appearance. And

948
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 4: and look tip and the captain least Garcia, who is

949
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 4: probably going to be an issue moving forward.

950
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 3: Like the guy's a good player.

951
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 4: We said it when we when we got into the estimate,

952
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 4: the hit tool was there, yep, and dude rakes, like, yeah,

953
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 4: maybe mixing a ball or two, so.

954
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: He rakes his generals. He's a good hited though he

955
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: raked in this series twenty two year old. Well, because

956
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: that's in New York.

957
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it two comes down to,

958
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: you know, not thrown strikes to him. Just don't throw.

959
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: It's like almost like the hobby biased thing, like why

960
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 2: would you throw a strike to this guy?

961
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 4: He hits it, of course, and the buck is out,

962
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 4: and I'm sure that teams will adjust and teams will

963
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 4: make him have to improve his patience. Yeah, you know,

964
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 4: but still, I mean those numbers are crazy. And I

965
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: texted you guys this also, we should have twenty six

966
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 4: Luis garcias on every day game, just.

967
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 3: Up there swinging, looking a hit, entertainment value, keep the

968
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: game moving. Luis Garcia is that, dude.

969
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: I think you can appreciate as a baseball fan, a

970
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 2: guy who's looking to hit. I like, I like, I

971
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 2: like that, saying like that's something I feel like when

972
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: I was like coaching like twelve and thirteen year olds,

973
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: which is funny to like bring a parallel to, but

974
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: it's like, man, that kid wants to hit and you

975
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: can see it. And Luis Garcia all he wants to

976
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: do is hit. He has no interest in anything else.

977
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm here to hit. I want to swing

978
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: the bat. I'm a good hitter, let me do it.

979
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: His little league coaches must have been literally in love

980
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: with him because he's never looking for a walk.

981
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a major league baseball player. But also

982
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: he was probably like outside that he was probably sick,

983
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: and when he was like eleven, he was probably so good.

984
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: He's still good.

985
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 4: Before we get to this estimate, I just thought, James,

986
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 4: you mentioned the denim shirt, so I just want to

987
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 4: go back to that.

988
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 3: This shirt, it was just like if you go on

989
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: a first state, you wearing the shirt on a first.

990
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. It was a thrift from years and

991
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: years ago. It's just like it was loose shirt. No,

992
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: it's not that either. I don't I don't speak to

993
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: that kind of language. But Mark and I weren't in

994
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: fraternities like you. It's just it was a good shirt

995
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: to wear, like at this time of year, or like

996
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: in the springtime where the T shirt isn't warm enough

997
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: for the entire day and I just want to pull

998
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: like a little some loose over it, get a little

999
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: bit more color in the look, and just have a

1000
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: tiny bit more warmth only long shirt that brought this

1001
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: trip and I'm cold today. Oh it's a long, long

1002
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: sleeve danim and even more hilariously because you guys know,

1003
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm not an accountant. If anyone met me, the last

1004
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: thing they'd probably ever expect me to be was an

1005
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: accounting But it wasn't accounting for ten months a full

1006
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: time job I had in Ohio, And this shirt says

Speaker 1: Ohio CPA on it right here, A little patch good good,

1008
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,360

00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 4: Wait, but all right, so another what's backtrack? I dropped

Speaker 1: year old he went through a table and someone at

1036
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: the game. Someone someone showed his parents and they were mortified.

1037
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: But I digress.

1038
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 2: Even one got a Mitch by the way, I know,

1039
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: I know it came from South Carolina named Mitch. There's

1040
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: no chance he's listening to this. He was insane, he

1041
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: was nuts, he would do that. Mitch's great still to

1042
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 2: this day. We were playing for cubed.

1043
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: Mitch was like berating our friend's girlfriend, being like, come on,

1044
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: come up, we we just had a great day and

1045
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 1: the die table just ran through all like the twenty

1046
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: year olds who thought they knew how to play. We

1047
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: were playing some good veteran die.

1048
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: Did you play the rules that we played on the

1049
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: terrace or that's like that's like baby died.

1050
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: Standing with FIFA, so that kicks for a point.

1051
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: That's like easy.

1052
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: It was. It was a fun game. We had some

1053
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: very tight ones, but glad to know we did not lose.

1054
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm missing die, I' missing die. I need a die day.

1055
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 3: Do they use the term GDI in Ohio.

1056
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: I'm just curious they used them South Yeah, Well they

1057
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: say ged in South Carolina.

1058
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: Your yeah, same thing.

1059
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 4: All right, we don't have to get into geen and

1060
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 4: all that stuff. I've actually never played die. I don't

1061
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 4: know what that says about me.

1062
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: I think he just says you're a little bit older

1063
00:40:59,640 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: than us.

1064
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe we'll.

1065
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: Have to get We'll have to get John out to

1066
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: the city to get some die in one day.

1067
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: That'd be shocking. John would have to do so much

1068
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: preparation to do that, between transportation, between like preparing himself

1069
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: to drink. That'd be crazy. Like you need a week,

1070
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: know this for John to play die.

1071
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 3: Probably. I mean when I hear the word die, I'm

1072
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 3: thinking Germaine Die. I don't know if that's a lot

1073
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: about me.

1074
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: It comes to great player, great pare.

1075
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 4: Fantastic player, that foul ball off his shin still still.

1076
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 3: Out, jeez, James.

1077
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 4: I actually I was just checking Indiana Ohio State November twelve.

1078
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 3: So we'll definitely have to Yeah.

1079
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 2: That will be after the season. We'll have we'll be

1080
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: needing to come up with some sort of content. So

1081
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: and that'll be like a week after the parade too,

1082
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: so enough time to decompress.

1083
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 3: Exactly a week after the parade.

1084
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: Wait to sneak that in there. That was good.

1085
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 4: I like that well before the parade, the Mets are

1086
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 4: going to yins Land Pittsburgh.

1087
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: Have you guys been at Pittsburgh, By the way.

1088
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: I never I tried to stack it on top of

1089
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: this trip, but I couldn't find a way to make

1090
00:41:59,600 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 1: it happen.

1091
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 2: PNC is my favorite stadium outside of City Field, of course,

1092
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: in baseball that I've been to. The people who worked

1093
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 2: for the Pirates are really nice. Shot my guy Terry

1094
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: who hooks me up with stuff. He's a beast. The

1095
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: city's great. The food's really solid too, shockingly, like I

1096
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 2: don't I don't think Pittsburgh is known for its food,

1097
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: but I've had great food in Pittsburgh for Manty Bros.

1098
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: Good sandwich and the skyline from the home plate view

1099
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: is the best view in all of baseball. Like, I

1100
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything that comes close. It's so awesome.

1101
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: It's a great baseball city, even when their team stinks.

1102
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: Like the fans that do show up really do care,

1103
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: and they the thing that I love the most. And

1104
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 2: this is something that like I like about Atlanta, I

1105
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: like about Fenway is that before the game, you can

1106
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: get there four five, six hours before and there's restaurants,

1107
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: there's bars, they close down the roads so it's just

1108
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: like one big tailgate party that you just like walk

1109
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: into the stadium whenever you want. The vibes are incredible.

1110
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: Jealous couldn't make it out to Pittsburgh this year because

1111
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: that's one that I try to make a trip to.

1112
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 4: Now. Yeah, yeah, I only went on My only time

1113
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh. I unfortunately was at the twenty ten AFC

1114
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 4: title game. Jet That game I was at that. I

1115
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 4: mean after the Jets beat the Patriots. This was a

1116
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 4: while ago, and I was in a position where I

1117
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 4: could just pick up and go to Pittsburgh to play

1118
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 4: in the AFC title game.

1119
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, my.

1120
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 4: Friends and I got in the car and we went

1121
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh and Brian Schottenheimer shout out, Brian Schottenheimer ruined

1122
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 4: probably the year.

1123
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: I mean, that was that was a bad experience.

1124
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm not even a Jets fan, and I'm getting like

1125
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: PTSD here in the name Brian Schottenheimer.

1126
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: That game. That game is ridiculous. The Jets went down

1127
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: a lot early, and they came all the way back

1128
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: as far as they could. They had one last drive

1129
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: in a d pass at the end of the game.

1130
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: They couldn't they couldn't make it happen.

1131
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, what I will.

1132
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 4: What I remember most about that, other than obviously the

1133
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: game and the loss itself, was the party of the

1134
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 4: tailgate was incredible. Like Pittsburgh Steelers fans that they were

1135
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 4: kind of they were a mixed bag, like some of

1136
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 4: them were off in the word and Yan's is a

1137
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 4: dumb word.

1138
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: And I don't get that, and I'll never understand that.

1139
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 3: It's just like, did.

1140
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: You when you were there? Did you try icy light?

1141
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's uh defined light beer, no free ads, but oh

1142
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: my gods are bad.

1143
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 3: It did not, It did not. Did that for Mancy Bros.

1144
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 3: Stayed at au. I don't want to. I don't want

1145
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 3: to say, because you guys make fun of me.

1146
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: There it is.

1147
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 2: Did you shake together in wait, Johnny Fratz, that's another

1148
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 2: one we can throw on to John Way.

1149
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 3: Too much, AMMO, one time, way too much, AMMO. But yeah, no,

1150
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Pittsburgh's cool.

1151
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 4: What I respect about Pittsburgh is their passion for sports, like,

1152
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 4: for sure, here's my here's my hockey reference. Their in

1153
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 4: market hockey ratings are the best in the league no

1154
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 4: matter what, and obviously, like the Penguins have been good

1155
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 4: for a while, but they love their sports teams, and

1156
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 4: I respect that. I can't I can't hate that.

1157
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: That's cool. That's cool. And I love O'Neil Cruz and

1158
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 3: what's not to love about O'Neil Cruz. And that right

1159
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 3: there it.

1160
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: Gets us John maybe his one ninety batting average.

1161
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 3: Do you know James James talking batting average?

1162
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: James? I'm JOEO. Because literally I was talking to a

1163
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: Pirates fan yesday and I was just trying to promote

1164
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: the podcast, and he was like, I can't stand all

1165
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: this stuff about o'nial Cruise. Ridiculous, the guys hitting one nineties.

1166
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe how much how good people think he is.

1167
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, all R, Dudeyeah, you're right. I just walked away. Come,

1168
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: I can't talk to you anymore.

1169
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: Tell me when you can hit a ball one hundred

1170
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: and twenty miles an hour.

1171
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: And tell me you could throw a ball ninety eight

1172
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: in the infield?

1173
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 3: That's a did you know that? Do you know where

1174
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 3: this is going?

1175
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: Where's it going?

1176
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 3: That's a good segue, all right.

1177
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 4: So after after Luis Garcia saw twenty six pitches, swung

1178
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,959
Speaker 4: at twenty of them, and saw just three balls twenty.

1179
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: Out of twenty six. Unbelievablegend legendary.

1180
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 4: This estimate this week is gonna be what will be

1181
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 4: the fastest throw recorded by an infielder. And I do

1182
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 4: have to caveat this because Rodolfo Castro also has a cannon.

1183
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 4: And I was looking looking, Yeah, what's his number? Which

1184
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 4: give him a call? I was looking at the Pirates

1185
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 4: game today and I was just curious to see, like, what,

1186
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 4: you know, where where might we expect this to land?

1187
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 4: And he actually had a faster throw than than O'Neil

1188
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 4: Cruz did today. O'Neil Cruz's fastest throw, according to Statcast

1189
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 4: this season ninety seven point nine miles an hour. That

1190
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 4: was on a relay throw, so we had some time

1191
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 4: to receive, take a couple of steps, throw to the catcher.

1192
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 4: This could be just a regular, regular throw across the diamond.

1193
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 3: I'm looking right now.

1194
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 4: I think his normal put out from shortstop is ninety

1195
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 4: seven eight.

1196
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 3: That's crazy, So, I mean, that's that's insane.

1197
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 4: Rafielf for Kyle had a had a real cannon, right,

1198
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 4: I feel like that such.

1199
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: A little guy, though, you are giving me flashbacks to

1200
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 2: what are these names? You guys are throwing out there today. Raphael,

1201
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: for call, is someone who doesn't get enough love. In

1202
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 2: the Grand Schaming baseball guy was a ballplayer and he

1203
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: killed the Mets forever.

1204
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 3: And I think Sean Duhnson was another guy.

1205
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 4: I mean, this is like kind of before my time,

1206
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 4: definitely before your guys time. He was another dude who

1207
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 4: was known for being a shortstop with an absolute cannon

1208
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: from deep in the hole.

1209
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 3: And now that's O'Neil Cruz.

1210
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 4: So as the Mets at the Pittsburgh for the three

1211
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: game series, the fastest throw in this series, James, do

1212
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 4: you have a pen and pencil out there? I know

1213
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 4: that you're in a college town, so there's a lot

1214
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 4: of the there you go every time.

1215
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: Every time I come to Columbus. I just like I

1216
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: think about, like the alternate timeline, if I would have

1217
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: just like stayed here and like hung out here with

1218
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: my friends, because I'm in his unbelievable like two bedroom,

1219
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: two bathroom apartment with with the washer, dryer and the

1220
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: balcony energy. Guess how much the two person rent.

1221
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: This That should have been the estimate. What's the average

1222
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: monthly rent in the city of Pittsburgh.

1223
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: I was telling the college kids like my New York,

1224
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: my New York amenities and rents. And I told some

1225
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: I told my friend's girlfriend I didn't have a dishwasher

1226
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: for the last two years. She looked at me like

1227
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: like I killed her brother.

1228
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: I'm paying thirty four hundred for a one bedroom, one bathroom.

1229
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be sick to my stomach to hear that

1230
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: is like fifteen hundred dollars.

1231
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 4: It's my guess, all right, talking about the entire thing,

1232
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 4: entire thing, cool thing, I would say, like eighteen hundred.

1233
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: It's eighteen hundred.

1234
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 2: Oh so cheap.

1235
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 3: Holy crad.

1236

1237
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: You're playing it off, but no, it's I didn't.

1238
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 3: I didn't.

1239
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,040

1241
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 2: I get what the hardest throw was in today's game

1242
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 2: from them? I think that would just help me give me.

1243
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: A baseline here in today's game, stature he's on stack cast,

1244
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: So there's.

1245
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: A research site that is technically private.

00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: Is sis.

1247
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,279

Speaker 3: through MLB.

1249
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 4: The fastest throw in that game today was Radalfo Castro

1250
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 4: eighty six six across the diamond.

1251
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,880

Speaker 2: You play it safe and you go high and you're like,

1255
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 2: he's good. He has a canon. All it takes is

1256
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 2: one throw. It doesn't need to be one game, just

1257
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: one one game in this series. He needs to make

1258
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: one spectacular throw. I'm gonna go with the number that

1259
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: came into my head originally, and I'm just yeah, I'm

1260
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 2: gonna go with my gut, which has never never steered

1261
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 2: me wrong before. Are we going to the tenth hundredths

1262
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:33,879

00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 3: Let's do just the time?

1264
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: Okay. I changed my number real quick because I thought

1265
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: about James, and I'm gonna go.

1266
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 3: Hmmm.

1267
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: I thought about James Mark.

1268
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 4: I was reading the comments Mark, which they say, don't do,

1269
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 4: but I was doing it for the last episode.

1270
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 3: A lot of people want to see you in the talks.

1271

00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 2: will make a video out of that for my YouTube

1275
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,399

1276
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 2: so I've got my number. I'm I'm really playing that.

1277
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: I read James right here, and I might have bought

1278
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 2: myself some space.

1279
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, kind of down.

1280
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: John, all right, here we go and three two one?

1281
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: What do you got? Ninety five?

1282
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 2: I read James right, I read James Wright.

1283
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: Damn, I had ninety three five, and I switched.

1284
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 2: In because I was gonna go ninety six point nine

1285
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 2: originally that's what I had. Yeah, nice, of course, but

1286
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 2: ninety four point six. I said, James is gonna James

1287
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 2: is gonna go in the nineties. That's what I thought was,

1288
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 2: He's gonna go like ninety point six something like that.

1289
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you went low because that bought me

1290
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: some space because now anything above ninety four I just

1291
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 2: went yeah.

1292
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: So that only how many throws have been that this year?

1293
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 2: Like the Magic Man, he can do whatever, he could

1294
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 2: do it, he's done it.

1295
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: Here's a question, would that throw have counted on the

1296
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: relay or does it have to be in field?

1297
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 3: Throw?

1298
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 4: Any thrown, any throw from any throw a routine?

1299
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 3: Six three?

1300
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 1: So I have everything. I have everything. Blow ninety I'm

1301
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: here every anything that is not supernatural, I win.

1302
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean you still get ninety one too,

1303
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: like you get ninety one.

1304
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: As well, and I get's ninety three five.

1305
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 2: I'm looking yeah, No, I get ninety three five. I'm

1306
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 2: ninety four point six.

1307
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh, ninety six point four. My bad.

1308
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 3: No, this just sounds like we're giving the budget.

1309
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: I have up in the ninety two. I'll think ninety

1310
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,840

1312

1313
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 3: last minute of September. That's what it's all about. I think.

00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 1: No, we don't.

1315
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,200

1343
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 2: that's not named O'Neil Cruz Rodolfo Castro that we like.

1344
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: Monday Labor Day Matinee Taiwan Walker versus Mitch Keller Tuesday Evening.

1345
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: Six thirty five starts this week, guys on Tuesday and Wednesday.

1346
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: Jacob de Grom versus Bryce Wilson. That is it six

1347
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: thirty five or I got six thirty five I'm not.

1348
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: I know you're not going with time zones.

1349
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going with time Ohio should be central, Like

1350
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 2: that's so.

1351
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: Far away, oh Central doesn't even start to Chicago. We

1352
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: still got We's got a lot of miles.

1353
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: West of us to get the said PA's not central.

1354
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: Parts of it are the parts that are west of Chicago.

1355
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 2: That's nonsense.

1356
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: Like I have a friend friend friend Markuto now, who

1357
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: grew up in Valperezo, Indiana, and she would like she

1358
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: could travel, she could mix time zones in a day

1359
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: because like she was right on the edge of the

1360
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: time zone, which it would be. I would be so

1361
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: terrified living in a place like that, because you know,

1362
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a timely person, not at all. I'm fifteen

1363
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: minutes late to my entire life. So if i was

1364
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: on like a boarder of a time zone, I'd be

1365
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: twisted up.

1366
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gotta be hell.

1367
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. But the Groand versus Bryce Wilson Tuesday evening six

1368
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: thirty five probably gonna reset the heaviest money line favorite

1369
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: so far this year. Reset it again. This might be

1370
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: the first minus five hundred we've seen all year, which

1371
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 1: I hate. And then Wednesday, last game of the series

1372
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: against six thirty five Chris Bassett versus johann O Vie though,

1373
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: who I actually liked a little bit when he was

1374
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: a cardinal. He kind of lost his way in the

1375
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: last year, but the Pirates have had some minor successes

1376
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: with pitching development recently. I think he's someone to watch.

1377
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: He's got some stuff, for sure, some stuff nice change up.

1378
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: Who's uh, who's a player you want to watch out for?

1379
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 2: Because I know mine is Key Brian Hayes, And I

1380
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 2: know his numbers are not good this year, but I

1381
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 2: will not ever slender Key Brian Hayes. He's really good

1382
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 2: stuff so well, first off, at third base, lights out,

1383
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 2: he's probably the best defensive third basement maybe in baseball.

1384
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: Right now, would you go there the Nolan and now

1385
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: the stands are gonna murder you for that take.

1386
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's also really good. You know, I'll

1387
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 2: give the tip of the captain Nolan because he's done

1388
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 2: it for years. But Key Brian's a close super as.

1389
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: A freak, Key Brian's gonna have like some kind of

1390
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: adjustment some point in his career and he's gonna like

1391
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: get near an MP Warren. Yeah, because he's just a

1392
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: guy who ham puts the ball on the ground a

1393
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: lot right now. And he's always been a guy who's

1394
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: very athletic, great hit tool and the powers there you've

1395
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: see in his exitvelossity. He just can't lift it enough.

1396
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen.

1397
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: It's exactly what I was gonna bring him. Was like

1398
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,959
Speaker 2: exit Velow's like percentiles eighty six percentile on average max

1399
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 2: exvel is eighty ninth, hard hits eighty eighth. He just

1400
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 2: hits the ball into the ground. So keep an eye

1401
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 2: out for Key Brian.

1402
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: The Pirates also just picked up Robert Stevis and the

1403
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: guy who was cut a few weeks ago, and we

1404
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: thought it would be about yeah, and so this is

1405
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: one of the first waiver claims that grabbed him. So

1406
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: that's interesting when you see a guy who's DFA and

1407
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: one of the first app able teams grabs him. But

1408
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: it thinks because like my players to watch are not

1409
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: gonna be playing the series against the Mets. Like I

1410
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: love Rawonsei Contreras, as you know, he's I just think

1411
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: he has all the tools to be a good pitcher.

1412
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: His fastball is still coming along, but he has a

1413
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: fantastic slide there, and the fastball can be good, but

1414
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: sometimes he doesn't get in the backspin. It kind of

1415
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: varies a little bit. He could be a guy who

1416
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: I think develops a color or a singer in next

1417
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: few years. I like him a lot. With my favorite

1418
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: pitching prospects in baseball. Also shout out David Bednar, one

1419
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 1: of the best closers in the whole game. I'm literally

1420
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: staying at David Bednar's cousin's apartment right now. Literally that's

1421
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: where I'm sleeping this trip.

1422
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 3: Ross.

1423
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: One of my best friends, David Sick. He's on the

1424
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: shelf right now, and he's in this weird situation being

1425
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: in the IL right now where he doesn't have enough

1426
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: to get arbitration eligible service time, so he might he had.

1427
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: He is a situation right now where it seems like

1428
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: the pirates are trying to do some pirate stuff and

1429
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: he could be he could. He has millions of dollars

1430
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: on the line depending on how much he pitches the

1431
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: rest of this year, and it seems, yeah, it seems

1432
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: like they are taking their time and he will only

1433
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: then He'll still get out out of a free agency

1434
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: in the six years but he will then only be

1435
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: arbitration eligible for two years, which dramatically limits your earning potential.

1436
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 2: Especially that's tough for David. I'm rooting for you, David.

1437
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was with his whole family yesterday, So we're

1438
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: all really pulling for David to get that service time

1439
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: and get those millions of dollars that he deserves. But

1440
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: as a guy, in terms of a guy playing the series,

1441
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: I said it before, but I am a fan of

1442
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: Rodolfo Castro. He just has like one of those like

1443
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: hilarious like infielder bodies where he looks like a fire hydrant,

1444
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: Like he's just like he's just like really big shoulders,

1445
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 1: like really thick dude. And he hits the ball hard

1446
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,919
Speaker 1: max ex velocity this year of one hundred and eleven

1447
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: point six that's an eighties percent tile in baseball above

1448
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: average barrel rate, and he's ran that every time he's

1449
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: been the league. He's always just had problems with pitch

1450
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: selection and had some problems with defense. But he's only

1451
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: twenty three. I think there is a lot timeat.

1452
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: If you remember, Ridolfo cashtro uh got his first ever start,

1453
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 2: I believe against the Mets last year with the Pirates,

1454
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 2: and he hit three home runs in the series against

1455
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:14,240
Speaker 2: the Mets. So met killer, met killer. That Brian Reynolds

1456
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 2: still too, he's good.

1457
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian Rends a gat baseball player. He's been a

1458
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: little cold recently. I know that because he's on this

1459
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: fantasy team that's only up by six right now. He

1460
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: only had a seven point weeks. I'm a little disappointed

1461
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: in mister Reynolds right now. He knows a good player.

1462
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: Were any of the Pirates. Also, we're getting them for

1463
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: four games and another week and a half, so we're

1464
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna get used to them here.

1465
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. And the Mets are a good team, should

1466
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 2: handle the Pirates. But this is uh so we know

1467
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 2: after this National Series, cannot take any of these games

1468
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 2: for granted, you gotta beat the teams you should, especially

1469
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 2: coming down the stretch here. We have a one game lead.

1470
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 2: As long as the Braves wins, I don't know if

1471
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 2: that game's game is over.

1472
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: It's one game lead. It's one game lead heading into.

1473
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 2: Labor Day, one game lead hanging into Labor Day. Just

1474
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 2: keep winning. This is gonna be really really hard to say,

1475
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 2: and I think people might get mad, but like, just

1476
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 2: worry about the Mets. Honestly, if the Metss keep winning,

1477
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what the Braves do.

1478
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: Techta controller O Destiny literally lose another game, we win

1479
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: the division.

1480
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: Yes, so just don't lose anymore, and we don't have

1481
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 2: to worry about those pesky Braves. They're gonna lose at

1482
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: some point, they have to. That being said, things a

1483
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,919
Speaker 2: perfect time for us to wrap up this episode, which

1484
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 2: we are incapable of doing a short one. We just

1485
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: like talking about the Mets and baseball.

1486
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:15,959
Speaker 1: It's believe we talk for an hour like I'm gonna

1487
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: be It's like eight o'clock and Columbus. It's kind of

1488
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: hard to get dinner at eight o'clock and Columbus. Now,

1489
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna do.

1490
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 2: It's almost like we're paid to talk about this baseball stuff.

1491
