Speaker 1: Episode number thirteen Metsub Podcast. Back at you, Mark, Mark Luino,

16
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: Ptureraffnick Mark, James Chiano, Jeter had no range. We just

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: finished up probably one of the better series that we've

18
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: had in a very long time against the Arizona Diamondbacks,

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: a three to zero sweep of them this weekend. All

20
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the games, while they weren't necessarily blowouts, the Mets won

21
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: the games pretty easily, and the Mets are starting to

22
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: look like they might have turned a corner based on

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: on something that happened Friday night that we'll talk about.

24
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Of course, you know the rat and raccoon as Jeff

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: McNeil called it, which is just an insane way to

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: call a raccoon. By the way, raccoon is nuts. I

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: don't know where Jeff McNeil's from.

28
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: Raccoon, Yeah, rack, California.

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't even make sense for being from California.

30
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: I could be a fear from rural California. I'd see it.

31
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it Jeff does like, you know, a little mullet

32
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and everything. Maybe it's from the rural area. But we

33
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: had a really good series this weekend and there is

34
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: so much good to talk about. So if you guys

35
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: are here for the positive episodes, we got a positive

36
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: episode coming at you. So many different things in every

37
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: single game, but it all ends up being positive, which

38
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,640

Speaker 1: takes so you don't miss on any episode. James, a

53
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: little better intro last time. I got a little into

54
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: content in the intro, which isn't normally how I do it.

55
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is fine though, I think again, like you said,

56
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: we're still experimenting. We all know what works yet I

57
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: kind of like like a long intro, maybe a break,

58
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: and then jump into the stuff. Yes, now we can

59
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: jump into this.

60
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: Now we can jump into the stuff, because boy, there

61
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: was a lot in game one. There is so much

62
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: to talk about from game one, but it also isn't

63
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: really necessarily about what happened actually on the field. But

64
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: more so what happened in the tunnel or the dugout

65
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: during that game, which was crazy, and a.

66
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: Lot did happen on the field in Game one, but

67
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: the main story that everyone's here to listen to and

68
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: everyone knows about, not even just Mets world, but the

69
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: entire baseball basically the entire sports world. That was at

70
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: the birthday party with friends last night, people who don't

71
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: even watch baseball were asking me what happened with the

72
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: Mets that they get a fight on Friday night, And

73
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: the real answer is, We're not.

74
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: Sure, not sure. We really don't have a clue exactly

75
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: what happened. For what we do know is that during

76
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: the sixth inning, and I think this is really where

77
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: it started, there was a play up the middle where

78
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil was going up the middle groundble up the middle.

79
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: Lindor was both going for it. They didn't end up

80
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: making the play. McNeil kind of sort of got in

81
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: the way a little bit, kind of was being a

82
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: little too aggressive as the second basement there much easier

83
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: to play for Lindor, much tougher for Jeff. Lindor got

84
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: the ball, made the throw, he was safe. Lindor was upset,

85
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: whether it was at Jeff, whether it was at himself,

86
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: whether he was just frustrated because whatever has been going

87
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: on with him recently. After that play was made, I

88
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you picked it up on TV or

89
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: if you're listening to it on the radio, but Lindor

90
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: led out a scream that me and the people who

91
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: I was at the game with Ernie and others, we

92
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: said it was as if he was letting out all

93
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: the demons in his body. He was screaming so insanely loud.

94
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: He turned his back to the field, was looking at

95
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: the center field and just let out like a ah ah ah.

96
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: That's what it sounded like. It was so loud, audible

97
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: in the stadium. Were sitting the cocoa gola corner could

98
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: hear it loud and clear, And I went, that was weird.

99
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: And it only got weirder.

100
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: Got a lot weirder because right after that inning, the

101
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: two of those guys made the B line ahead of

102
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: the rest of the team, straight down the tunnel. Most

103
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: people here know the story, and then Michael Canford on

104
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: a couple other Mets were sauntering in as the enning ended.

105
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: Because the last play was the Dalton varshow long fly

106
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: ball to the warning track off of Barnes that Can

107
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: four them made the catch. Nice play. Can four is

108
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: them playing actually a very good defensive rightfield.

109
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Pay believe that ball didn't go out by the way insane?

110
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I have some I have some crazy stats

111
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: about balls didn't go out the series two that we're

112
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: gonna get to. But canfour the looked into the tunnel

113
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: and he seemed to see something that was awry, seemed

114
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 2: like there was a potential fractice going on. Brujaja a bruja,

115
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: sawts yes, and just general hoopla, General hoopla and every

116
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: single team. It almost looked like a skit from like

117
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: Abdon Costello or like one of those old nineteen forties

118
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: sketch shows with like really demonstrative flag moving around. Everyone

119
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: just bulleted right down the stairs blah, right into the top.

120
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: You saying that reminded me a little bit of like

121
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: you said, like the Abacastell think it was almost the

122
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: opposite of like when you see like people getta have

123
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: a clown car, Like how many people are gonna go

124
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: down there? Like every single person in uniform was in

125
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: that down the tunnel.

126
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: And then Can Fourtha was the first person that came out,

127
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: and his face just set it off.

128
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Like he saw a ghosts. He was like, Yeah, let

129
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: me tell you some rat of raccoon that was down there.

130
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: Probably, yeah, that was It was probably a raccoon, as

131
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: we've heard, which is a funny thing that we've been saying.

132
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: But there must have been some kind of mutated animal

133
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: that came from the subways that's been manifesting in there

134
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: since the beginning of COVID eating just sludge and all

135
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: this horrible things. I mean, personally, I think that there

136
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: was almost definitely a fight.

137
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: There had to have been. I mean, like, the only

138
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: time that anyone in baseball has really seen or the

139
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: most recent time you've seen anyone in like the tunnel

140
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: of like a dugout like that in baseball recently is

141
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: when the Astros were cheating. Otherwise it's going to be

142
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: a fight. Shot at the Astros there by the way

143
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: I had to take it, but good. There had to

144
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: be something. And I say you the snapchat video which

145
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: was it was it was tough. You couldn't really see much,

146
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: but it did. There was a shot at one point

147
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: of the dugout like from the field level, and you

148
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: could almost see that there was some sort of commotion

149
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: going on there. It looked like there was ruffling up.

150
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 2: You could see the white jerseys moving. That was actually

151
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: very That was a very good forensic analysis by you,

152
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: because just in that tiny sliver of black you can

153
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: see in the tunnel there was movement of white jerseys,

154
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: and the Mets were wearing white that night, so it

155
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: was very clear to see. I think one of the

156
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: most telling things that has come out of this again,

157
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: I will say the hoopla from Friday, because I don't

158
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: want to speculate what happened. We'll know in clubhouse situation.

159
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: But the way that Zack Scott and Louise Rojas, who

160
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: clearly after the events of how both of these people

161
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: have their jobs a general manager and manager of the team.

162
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: They're balls, I would say, on tenuous grounds with this

163
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: front office, and they both were no nonsense with the

164
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: media over the last two days, talking about it. Immediately

165
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: that night, once this raccoon rat story started perpetuating on

166
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: social media, someone one of the writers I don't remember

167
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: who was, asked Rojas about it when during his media

168
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: Availabil and he was like, I have no idea what

169
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: you're talking about.

170
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: His face his face too.

171
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: He gave like a yeah, like come on man, because

172
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: like he like, does a clubhouse matter? And whatever they

173
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: decide to tell you is between them.

174
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is.

175
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: That's that's that is translation. There was a fight. I'm

176
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: not gonna say it o loud, and this is how

177
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: they're handling it. Yeah. And Scott did the same thing today.

178
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: He said, I'm a Northeast guy, I'd like to be

179
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: more upfront about things, but this is their clubhouse. I'm

180
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: gonna respect the sanctity of that. But if it was me,

181
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: I'd be more open about what happened.

182
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: I think to say, at the least, there was definitely

183
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: a shouting match that probably happened. Now ye there, But

184
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: but I think and like, the was speculation of McNeil

185
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: get hit. There was before and after pictures of his

186
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: eye before the game and then after the game, but

187
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: then in the press conference he looked completely fine, So

188
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: clearly I don't think he did get punched in the

189
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: face or anything like that. But even watching him because

190
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: I was at the game, so I didn't see his

191
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: face until after I came home, but watching him in

192
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: between innings when they're cutting Tim McNeil legitimately looked like

193
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: he was like hurt, almost like he he seemed shaken up,

194
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: he seemed lost, He seemed to And that's not something

195
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: that Jeff mcmuil is. He's always a very heads up,

196
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: very in the moment player, as we know with every

197
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: app bat.

198
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: And I think both of them immediately after you could

199
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: it kind of was like you said before, back and forth,

200
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: it was like they saw a ghost, like everyone would

201
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: look kind of drained, like something had happened. My mom

202
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: immediately was like, maybe someone's family member died. And if

203
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: that is not the most like middle aged Italian woman

204
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: response to some kind of some kind of lunacy going on,

205
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: like I don't know what it is. But the funniest

206
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: part is, as we now transition to what was happening

207
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: on the field, is that whatever happened inside that tunnel

208
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: seemed to zap both of those guys back into what

209
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: we've expected them to be all season long.

210
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: It was like that whatever happened was the wake up

211
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: call that both of them needed. Whatever if anyone got hit,

212
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: if anyone got yelled, if anyone you know, pushed it

213
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: seemed like that's exactly what got them right back into

214
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: what the players that we thought they would be were.

215
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Because that inning, McNeil and Lindor were also do up

216
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: after they were in the field, which is crazy, which

217
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: is crazy. So McNeil came up and he of course

218
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: did the McNeil thing all year, which is hit into

219
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: a heart out. I think he like lined into the

220
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: pitcher or whatever.

221
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 2: He hit a screamer like it hit the pitcher's thigh,

222
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: and then he tore ass up the line and then

223
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: he ran right into the tunnel as well. After literally

224
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: he was like a bat out of hell and he

225
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: just pulled like a freaking right angle directly into the tunnel.

226
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: And he was probably in there like smashing his hand

227
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: against the wall.

228
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: Just had to be doing something. And then Lindor steps

229
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: up and h Francisco, our boy. He did it finally

230
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: a huge, huge moment for him. Came up one two count.

231
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: He'd been battling a little bit right handed up against

232
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: Caleb Smith, who, like you said that night, pitched the

233
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: night before and threw a couple of pitches. Like wasn't

234
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: a great decision throw him out there. Lindor takes some

235
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: deep pits, his first one on at City Field puts

236
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: the Mets ahead in the game that they were really

237
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know. They didn't really deserve to win it.

238
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: But they also didn't play that badly. It was really

239
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: just Peterson kind of screwed them a little bit at

240
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: the beginning.

241
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: And as much as he screwed them, like now, let's

242
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: talk about peers in a little bit, he was getting

243
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: kind of squeezed and there wasn't I mean, he was

244
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: not throwing strikes most of the time, but there were

245
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: a couple of calls the beginning againning when he was

246
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: facing whoever was hitting eight then I think it might

247
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: have been Rojas, the a bat before Gallon. Yeah it

248
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: was Rojas and whoever's think seventh if I can't remember

249
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: at this given moment. But he was nibbling the corn,

250
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: just not doing it. The din Backs didn't hit one

251
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: ball hard the entire game. The Dinmonbacks didn't not have

252
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: an extra base hit in this series until today.

253
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

254
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: The Steven Vote double in Game three, Yeah, which is incredible.

255
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: But again with Peter in like this is what's gonna

256
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: happen with him. His stuff is not elite. His command

257
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: is good, not great. You cannot walk. Zach Gallon can't

258
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: with two outs.

259
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Also, like going back to his stuff, like if there

260
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: was any indication of if you needed to know what

261
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of pitches he had, Zack Gallen fouled off like

262
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: five pitches that at bat. Zack Allen's not a hitter.

263
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: Dak Allen actually impressed me to play on Friday night.

264
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: He battled every single at bat. He be a couple

265
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: of nice foul balls. He would hustle down the line.

266
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: The guy's an athlete. He's a heck of a player.

267
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: He is also a human reign delay. My god, does

268
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: he throw so many pickoffs?

269
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: You were well, you were at the game, so I

270
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 2: don't know if you could see this from the coke

271
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: corner and you obviously weren't hearing to Gary, Keith and Ron.

272
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: But Gallon, like many pitchers now have cheat sheets in

273
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: their pockets, like to show them probably matchups and like

274
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: pitch statistics and like where hey there's hot and cold

275
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: zones are. And he was looking at it every two

276
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: or three pitches, like when he was getting to the fourth,

277
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: fifth and fifth inning, and Keith was like, boy, really

278
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: keeps looking on that card, I don't know if there's

279
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: any answers there.

280
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: And it's like, some fucks. He really is good, but

281
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: he I love watching him as a pitcher from Afar,

282
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: but when I'm at a game and it's cold out

283
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: and it's two hours and we're through four innings, painful

284
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: to watch, especially when it was just like walks three

285
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: two counts, ten pickoffs every inning. Like he's a good picture,

286
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: but he's he's so slow. But back to David Peterson,

287
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: like you said, he just didn't have it walking the picture.

288
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: It was a walk fest for him. He was walking

289
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: guys like left and right, hitting batters. He just didn't

290
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: have it. And luckily we got saved by our boy

291
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: who we mentioned last episode, who was nonexistent to start

292
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: the Robert Gaseelman came in and shut the door.

293
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: The dude battled. He was freaking awesome, and I was.

294
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: I was firing off some tweets Friday night, both from

295
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: my account she either had no range and the messed

296
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: up account about how great Gazelman was. And it was

297
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: pretty funny at the end of the game. It's one

298
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: of the listeners got in my mentions. He was like

299
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: to so many pitch breakdowns this whole year with about Gazelman. So,

300
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: whoever you are, I have a pitch breakdown right now

301
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: for you for Robert Gazelman. Not much to fine, but

302
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: one major adjustment that Gazellman has made this year is

303
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: he's cut out his four seamed fastball in favor of

304
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: a lot more changeups and a couple of more sinkers.

305
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: And generally when you do something like that, it means

306
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: you have quit on whiffs and strikeouts and you are

307
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: in the game for soft contact because the change up,

308
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: along with the color the Gazelmo doesn't throw, those are

309
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: the big pitches that you're using to limit exit velocity

310
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: and like lower hitters launch angles as long as you

311
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: can locate it, which he's been doing so far, and

312
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: that has been Gazelman's calling cards so far this year.

313
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: He's in the ninety seventh percent tile of all hitters

314
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: in baseball right now. An opponent's heart hit rate at

315
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: just twenty three point seven percent. That's an elite number.

316
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: That's like good, that's like, well, name a really bad

317
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: hither that'd be their heart hit hard hit rate. Yeah,

318
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: that's like probably En durancrday are like career hard hit

319
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: level that Rath fuck. I hate that guy. Oh my god.

320
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: All of college I had basically a hole in my

321
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: coffee table from that home run he robbed from cesspath.

322
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: This in twenty sixteen, the last month of the season,

323
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 2: with two thousand and ninth, when he jumped over the

324
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 2: center field wall, I literally in the corner of my

325
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: coffee table had like an imprint like this big He's

326
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: from my fist pounding it that one night, and I

327
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: was in college. I wasn't gonna get a new coffee table.

328
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: That was my coffee table. It was such a past,

329
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: that ender INCRTA big past. But back to Gazelmon for

330
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: a second after d NCR day tangent, which I can't

331
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: believe maybe think about it. I can't believe you you

332
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: rew my whole role for I hate that guy so much.

333
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: All the hitters in baseball, thousands of hitters in the

334
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: history of this game, and you pick that motherfucker. But nevertheless,

335
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: Gazellman I said before, he has just quit on wistness

336
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: strike as he doesn't care about them at all anymore.

337
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: He had zero on Friday in two and a third

338
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: innings and just two whiffs on twenty one swings, which

339
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: of those are laughable numbers. On the year, he's only

340
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 2: has a ten point six percent k rate, which is

341
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: in the bottom three percent of the league. So inverse

342
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: to how good his whiffs are to his hard hit rate,

343
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: that's where the strike ass land and just sixteen point

344
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: three percent whiffs. Nothing. But if you're doing this with

345
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: the sinker and the changeup is working, and those things

346
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: are just bowling out of the bottom of the zone,

347
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: no one can square them up. As long as your

348
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: command stays on point, you don't leave either of those

349
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: pitches up. This can work, like this is something that

350
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: can work for Gazelman. This is probably a blueprint for

351
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: Peterson when he eventually moves to the bullpen in a

352
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: few months, when we have a full fleet of starting pitchers.

353
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: And I think this even more so ties into what

354
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna talk about a little bit later in the

355
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: episode with the changing balls. But clearly the balls are

356
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: not flying out like they used to. Clearly you can

357
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: pitch the contact a little bit more than you've been

358
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: able to in the last few years. And a guy

359
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: like a someone who had been getting hurt by some

360
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: hard hit balls and stuff, he makes this change to

361
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: get less hard hits, especially with the softer ball. He's

362
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna be getting better results. And we've been seeing that

363
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: all year. He's looked really, really strong. This far surprised

364
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: the het of me because I thought for Shirkus Salmon

365
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: was on his way out of this team.

366
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: I thought he was a non tender candidate in the

367
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: off season. I probably would have voted to do that

368
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: if that was an option for me, if if the

369
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: front office asked for my input, which I'm so open

370
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: to give.

371
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Steve Cohen, you listen to the Mets Up podcast.

372
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: We're ready for hire. I'll quit YouTube. If you need

373
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: me to run the front office, I got you, but

374
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's not coming. And then we also got

375
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: to see Tommy Hunter make his debut as a Met Right,

376
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: that was his debut.

377
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, debut.

378
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm low key falling in love with Tommy Hunter. The

379
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: dude is a character. I love him.

380
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: I'd love to see how many times in Major League Baseball?

381
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Maybe we can find this later, and tweeted Tomorrow, who

382
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: pitched in relief and started the following day.

383
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah that's not many, that's.

384
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: No, probably not since like eighteen eighty eight.

385
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: He I sent you his press conference from after the game,

386
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: which he started, which also hilarious that Tommy Hunter has

387
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: a price or a press meeting, whatever you want to

388
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: call it, talking with the press. But he's he's got

389
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of a personality. He was funny. He's like, yeah,

390
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: they asked me on to go out there. He's like, shit,

391
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: I got a perfect game. You ain't taking me out, Like,

392
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: no way. So you know what he came in. He

393
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: threw strikes, He attacked the hitters. That's all I can

394
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: ask for from a reliever.

395
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. And another weird caveat of Peterson getting pulled

396
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: early and using his own in long relief is the

397
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: fact that Thomas Nedo ended up double switching into the

398
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: game for McCann because he had made the last out

399
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: of the ending. Because McCann makes the last at every

400
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: single inning the Mets ever played this season. As we know,

401
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: it's shocking, but he had a couple of nights at

402
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: bats and a couple of hits. Like, Thomas Ndo needs

403
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: more play the appearances he does.

404
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: He needs more at bats.

405
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: You know, he need Thos to see the play the

406
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: ball more. Because I McCant to deal with James mccannon anymore.

407
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, all right, thanks for listening, guys. It's the

408
00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: end episode number thirteen. Yeah, McCann's struggling tough right now.

409
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: Going back, going back to last season when something seemed

410
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: to click for me though his slash two eighty six,

411
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 2: three sixty two, five seventy one in almost fifty played appearances,

412
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: that's really really good.

413
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Like right now, it feels like, let's say there's seven

414
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: games in a week, even though it never happens, but

415
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: let's just pretend they're seven in a week. It feels

416
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: like mccam plays six, NDO plays one. Yeah, we probably

417
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: gotta get closer to that four and three range right.

418
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: Now, definitely. And that was how Bican was Implatoon's his

419
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 2: entire career, especially when he was playing his best baseball

420
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: with the White Sox. He was never one hundred and

421
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: forty the game a year guy. Not many catchers really are.

422
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: Only J T Real Muto and I guess Grondala Grindall

423
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: has no hits. You want you know that Jacob de

424
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: gram has more hits than he has money Grondal this

425
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: season WHOA that was as of like one point thirty today, so.

426
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: Maybe what happened what happened to he has money, Grondal.

427
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: He's still hitting the ball hard because just not finding

428
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: the holes. But whatever, we'll get to that. I think

429
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: we'll have a White Sox episode in a few months.

430
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.

431
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: But otherwise Friday night, like the bullpen was good all together,

432
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: like Castro had a sick ending.

433
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: Yep, the guys.

434
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: The guy's been a lifesaver for us.

435
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: The bullpen's been a life saver for this team. Just

436
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: in general. It has been really really good. And we'll

437
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: talk about more guys as we get going move on

438
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: to a little bit later in the game. We had

439
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: a ninth inning scenario where Jeff McNeil lead off hit,

440
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: Lindor comes up in bunts and apparently it might have

441
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: been his decision it was. It might have not came

442
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: from the bench. It might have been Lindor saying I'm

443
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: gonna bunt, which Francisco, buddy, I want that to be wrong.

444
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to believe that you were thinking a

445
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: bunt there. But I put up the video on Twitter.

446
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: I was I was destroyed. If you talk, if you

447
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: talked to like Ernie and the people and Scuffy who

448
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: was at the games with I for an inning. Couldn't

449
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: get over it. I could not get I was. It

450
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: was the tenth inning we got through and I go,

451
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: we fucking bunted? Are you kidding me? I was mad.

452
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: There was little kids in front of me. I was

453
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: saying the F word.

454
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: I was.

455
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: I didn't give a shit. I was stewing because of

456
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: all the good stuff that happened. And then to have

457
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: that and I'm like, ah, that was that was so lame.

458
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: I hate it.

459
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: And the funniest thing was like, well not this not

460
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: the funniest thing. First, A serious thing is that Rojas

461
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: and the press conference after the game the next day,

462
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: actually somebod asked him about that. He says, he said,

463
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: then Door brought it up, and he specifically said swing

464
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: the bat and the door is still bunted. Where It's

465
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: like why And he had been bunting like this whole

466
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: week here and there, which like stop bunting.

467
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Please stop, plase, stop bunting.

468
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: But again, the irony is that when we came up

469
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: in the tenth inning after Diaz kept the Diamondbacks off

470
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: the board, I was sitting on my carriage screaming, butns,

471
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: but please bunt someone bunt, my god.

472
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: And go figure we win on essentially a swinging bunt

473
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: from Pat Mosgo. I mean, like, what a bizarre, bizarre

474
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: game that we saw on Friday night.

475
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: Bizarre evening. The game just happened to be going on

476
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 2: in the middle of it.

477
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was crazy. But listen, this is

478
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: a game that old Mets teams lose in the past

479
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: one million percent. That fight in the dugout would have

480
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: brawled and jeffmcgial lindor both would have been out for

481
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: the year somehow. If the Willpon's still in this team,

482
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: that would have been the end of the season right there.

483
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Whatever it was, that would have been you know, def

484
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Con zero, but Defcon five whatever it's called. I don't

485
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: even know what it's called, but.

486
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: The worst con that exists.

487
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, regardless, the Mets scrapped it out. They got the win,

488
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: and it got us in a good position for the

489
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: rest of this series, which now leads us into Game two.

490
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 2: Before we go to the game too, I have my

491
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: bad mistakes of the week. Yeah, hit me, Frank Fleming,

492
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: Frank the tank Barceol. Frank is so fucking annoying on Twitter.

493
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: He's so damn negative aout the Mets if you follow him,

494
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: and let's just watch his tweets perch, which I don't

495
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: because I hope. Well that's what I'm gonna get to.

496
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: How I want you to guess right now, how many

497
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: followers Frank Fleming has on Twitter.

498
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: Like how many I think he has or how many

499
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: he should have?

500
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 2: How many he has?

501
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I have like thirty five thousand, and he works

502
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: for barstool, and he feels like he's known by everybody.

503
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gotta be like seventy five k.

504
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: Eighty three thousand people follow Frank many. That's disgusting. If

505
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: you were to just look at his tweets on a

506
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: per game basis and not the Mets, you would think

507
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: that we were four and nineteen right now.

508
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: Well, like I've even seen some of them, and I'm like,

509
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: I get it, Like he's definitely putting on a little

510
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: bit of a character. But also Frank Fleming like is miserable.

511
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: I think he is like kind of at his like base.

512
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of his like his brand is

513
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: like he is just kind of miserable a little bit,

514
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: and he I mean that's how he got famous. He

515
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: was the Mets fan who lost his ship when the

516
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: MTA and yeah, Cop, I mean that video is classic.

517
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: He gives you a good he gives you a good rant.

518
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: When things are bad, I would love to see what

519
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: he has to say, But when things are good, I'm

520
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: honestly I don't give a shit what he has to say. Ever,

521
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: Frank checking on baseball is irrelevant to me, and it

522
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: should be relevant to you as character, funny whatever. But

523
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: as a Mets fan, it sucks to have to deal

524
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: with this guy all the time because it's like, dude,

525
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: enjoy it. We have good stuff going on. It's okay.

526
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: I want to I don't want to hug him, but

527
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: I want to be Frank. It's okay, buddy, We're gonna

528
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: be good.

529
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: He must smell awful.

530
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: I can't imagine.

531
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: It's probably this weird combination of like horse radish, hot dog.

532
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: Oh god. Social social distancing is a blessing in a disguise.

533
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 2: That's no Frank clubbing. I'm sorry it took us on

534
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: this tension. I just really want he's just my bad

535
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: take of the week because he hates Loop and Diaz

536
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: and they've both been freaking good, so good it's so good.

537
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: He's been a savior. We'll get to that later, but

538
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: now onto Game two. The Mets second time in a

539
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: week using an opener and it worked again.

540
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: And guess what they only lose. They used Lucas and

541
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: they used them well worked.

542
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: It was smart. Like one or two times through that's

543
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 2: all you get. Still though, he's like hilariously mediocre. He

544
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: had one whiff the entire time he was on a mound. Yeah,

545
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: that's that's laugh out loud bad.

546
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: He's just not good.

547
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: Like it's just not good.

548
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

549
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: He can fake it for a few winnings a week,

550
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: and we have it, faking it for a few winnings

551
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: a week.

552
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: Fake, fake it till you make it.

553
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh god, And.

554
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: Right now the Mets are definitely doing that with Lukeazy

555
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: Tommy Hunter started the game. Looked good again. Love me

556
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: some Tommy Hunter. We're getting into a weird snare where

557
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: Luca's going to come back at the end of the month.

558
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: Who do we send down from the bullpen because everyone's

559
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: performing well.

560
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: We got some options here. I was shitting myself Saturday

561
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: afternoon when they said that they sent down Yamamodo and

562
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 2: read Foley to piggyback in Syracuse, and I was like,

563
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: why are we doing that? I would love for at

564
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: least one of those guys to be available tonight. Year.

565
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: This seems like an oversight, you know what.

566
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: Actually, I guess Lucas gets sent down. Probably, lu Casey

567
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: probably will get down for the while. He definitely has

568
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: an option too, and all these guys in the bullpen

569
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: of options. You'll see Barnes get sent down even though

570
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: he's been effective, just because he hadn't think options. I

571
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: don't think he does. I think that's why he was

572
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: available is because he doesn't have options. I think that's

573
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: why the Mets had to give him the five hundred

574
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars contract is because he's he has to be

575
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: a major league player. Otherwise he's a free agent. Basically,

576
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: he would have to accept a minor league contract, which

577
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: he's not going to do because the way he's been pitching,

578
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: he deserves to be on a major league team.

579
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 2: Again, he's been good. But we gotta stick with game

580
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: too because my number one takeaway from Game two is

581
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: how well this Raccoon situation is helping Francis Golndor Jeff MacNeil.

582
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: The play he's made them. It turned everything around.

583
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: Since the fracas in the in the middle of the

584
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: sixth inning or the seventh whenever it was on Friday night,

585
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 2: those two combined are six for nineteen with five RBIs

586
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: and five run scored.

587
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, what else do you need? Hell yah, that's it.

588
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: That's what we've been waiting for. Like, both of them

589
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: have been struggling so badly, and it seems like, I mean,

590
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: their numbers still don't show that they're playing better because

591
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: they have had an entire month of playing bad baseball,

592
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: but they're getting higher and higher as the games keep going. Now,

593
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: this weekend was a great weekend for both of them.

594
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: Started off rough, but it's ending great.

595
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, ending great. I think something that has happened with

596
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: the two of them is that we know those guys

597
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: are both good hitters. They have shown enough for track

598
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: rather where you can guarantee that Jeff McNeil's a good hitter.

599
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 2: Francis Golden Door is a good hitter. No one's arguing

600
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: with you there. But they were just thinking a little

601
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: too much. And we've seen this happen with McNeil in

602
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: the pasts, where he'll get in these cold streaks and

603
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: he just like looks like he can't do anything. He's

604
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: pissed off every time he makes out. He's swinging at

605
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 2: the wrong pitches, he's cut like he's lining out, he's

606
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: smoking the ball, and he's finding gloves like he just

607
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: can't do it. And sometimes when you're a hither this

608
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: comes from my very minimal actual playing baseball background, you

609
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: just have to stop thinking.

610
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you really do. You just have to go

611
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: out there and play sometimes. And it seemed like almost

612
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: it seemed like the fight or whatever happened the brew

613
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: haha had almost masked them from thinking about the game

614
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: and they just had to go out there and play

615
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: because they were thinking about what just happened, and it

616
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: almost made them put like a block in their head

617
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, what am I supposed to be doing

618
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: my mechanics all this? Like, they just went out there

619
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: and played because they were on whatever just happened in

620
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: the dugout. And since then they've really just stepped it

621
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: up and we're finally getting the glimpse at what this

622
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: team could be when things are starting to click on

623
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: the offensive side.

624
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, definitely, And I think something similar happened to

625
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: Conford at the beginning of the year when he was

626
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: a little tight and he was thinking too much, and

627
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: he has stopped thinking. You just I think Pete is

628
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: a good example of this too, and Pete gets a

629
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: little frazzled. He thinks too much and he's swinging and

630
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: he's getting mad. Whenever he snapped the bat on Friday night.

631
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: Made it look like a tooth.

632
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: Made it look like a Toothpick my mom, My mom,

633
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: second plug Mother's Day episode, she was like, oh my god.

634
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 2: She was like, I didn't know you could do that.

635
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to the moms.

636
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, big shout out to everyone's mom out there. Well.

637
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: One thing I wanted to talk about that was really

638
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 2: caught my eye during side of this game was Michael

639
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: can four those monstrous fly ball in the seventh inning.

640
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: I think there was a man er two on. It

641
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: was a shot to break the game open and avoid

642
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 2: the palpitations that Your's familiar was about to give us,

643
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 2: because I knew preemptively that we were going to have

644
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: heart attacks in that inning. With just you have that feeling.

645
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: That ball that can Ford the put to the wall

646
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: was hit at one hundred four point four mile an

647
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 2: hour exsit velocity with a thirty degree launch angle, it

648
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: traveled four hundred and eight feet for a out.

649
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: That's messed up. Il.

650
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 2: I literally couldn't believe it. When I saw the tweet

651
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: after that that like had all of those like little

652
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: qualifications in it, like the little statistic tweet, I was like,

653
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: I can't believe this. So I did some digging on

654
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: Baseball Savon in the searage function, and I checked out

655
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: every single ball has been put in play this year

656
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: between a thirty and thirty one degree launch angle and

657
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and four and one hundred five eggs of velocity.

658
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 2: There were twenty two of those those balls this season,

659
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: and only two of them were not home runs.

660
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: Wait that was for this season?

661
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 2: Yes, that was only for this season.

662
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: I thought you were told me for last season and stuff.

663
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: Well, now I am going to go into I was like,

664
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: this is shocking, Like maybe it's just a nominally twenty

665
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: two bad of the balls is no sample size. So

666
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: then I made my search including twenty nineteen to twenty twenty,

667
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: So just twenty nineteen, twenty twenty twenty twenty one's numbers

668
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: are app because the ball is different. The ball's not

669
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: traveling as well. This year, it's coming off the bad harder,

670
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: but there's more drags, so it's not going as far.

671
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 2: MLB fucked us again because these assholes just like manipulating

672
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: the product that we all love so much. We can't

673
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: get over it, Like, I don't understand this shit. But

674
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: there were one hundred and five like events of a

675
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: bat ball between a thirty and thirty one degree launch

676
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: angle and one hundred and four and one hundred five

677
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: eggs of velocity over twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, and

678
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 2: even those two seasons had vastly different baseballs from each other,

679
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 2: let alone this year, out of those one hundred and

680
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: five events, only three balls were caught.

681
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: That's shocking, that's loocking.

682
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 2: Three balls were caught, and there were ninety six home runs,

683
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: four doubles, and two triples, one of the triples by

684
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 2: Mike Musta, which is ridiculous. And of those three odds,

685
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: another one was that city fucking field.

686
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: Dude, What is up with city Field? It's the ball

687
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: just doesn't like to travel when the Mets hit it,

688
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: that's for sure.

689
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: Literally, it was like it was a nimah a fly

690
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: ball off the braves. Last September and that random gem

691
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 2: that Kyle right through for no good fucking reason. It's

692
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: your boy, Kyle, right, that's my boy. He's he is.

693
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: He is slowly becoming not my boy the longer the

694
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: Braves don't use him. But yeah, I still think this.

695
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: I still have the faith. I'm not losing the faith.

696
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: I did lose his faith on Joe Musker over the

697
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 2: last five years. I'm not losing that, Kyle Right.

698
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, the balls, the balls are, man, They're they're different.

699
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, why would you put I don't know.

700
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: I have so many I have so many complaints about

701
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: what they do. They're like, hey, like the problem is

702
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: MLB is also gonna use like the great numbers that

703
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: we've had and like rise and popularity in the game

704
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: this season. Be like it's because we changed the balls.

705
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: It's like, no, that's not it. That's going to be

706
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: a product of everything that happened the last few years

707
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: and the young stars. But they're gonna be like the balls.

708
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Less home runs is good.

709
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: But the funny thing about the ball is that, like

710
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: I said before, and data is beginning to show us

711
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: that the ball is lighter and the ball has more drag,

712
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: so the ball being lighter means that pitchers are throwing harder,

713
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: which is true. There are more pitches over one hundred

714
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: miles an hour this year. We're in a rate than

715
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: ever before, and eggs of velocities are higher, which is

716
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: also true. Exit vlassies across baseball are up like a

717
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: mile hour or two. The funny thing about the drag

718
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: is that the usually to increase drag, you raise the seams,

719
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: so there's more ball cutting through the air. It makes

720
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: it go less far. With risen seams, the ball is

721
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: gonna break more when the pitchers throw it, and we're

722
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: seeing again this year that breaking balls are unhittable, like

723
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: there's more horizontal vertical break.

724
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: We've seen five no hitters. I'm counting Madison Bummgarner as

725
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: one as well. Wade Miley threw a no hitter. I

726
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: know it's against the weak Indians, who are basically a

727
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: poor excuse for a baseball team offensively.

728
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to live in a world where Wade

729
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: Miley throws a no hitter.

730
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: Shoudn't happen.

731
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: I knew something was different about that no hither because

732
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: my entire life as a huge baseball fan who watches

733
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: baseball religiously for five months a year, every single year,

734
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: without fail. Never this no hits. You stop what you're doing.

735
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: You watch the end of the no hitter? Yes, I said,

736
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: fuck it, I'm not even watching it. I don't even care.

737
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to see it.

738
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't give two shits about Wade. Maybe hit great

739
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: for him.

740
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: Happy, no love, Hey Wade Miley, Hell yeah, guy's a grinder.

741
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 2: He's been in the league for a while. He had

742
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: that cool haulk tattoo that his son gave him, which

743
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: that was cool. He was crying after no hitter because

744
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: a guy like Waye Miley, who's not really that good

745
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: and who has he's not often very respected and he's

746
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 2: been a lot of teams.

747
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: This is that's awesome, This is his moment. Yeah, it

748
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: technically puts them in the Hall of Fame. So yeah,

749
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: everyone who throws a no hitter gets a ball in

750
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. So technically Wade Miley, like his

751
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: kids will be able to show their kids and be

752
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: like that's my dad, Like that's cool, that's sick.

753
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: Here's a funny question over under ten more no hitters

754
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: this season? Ten more we have five in a month,

755
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: and we have got four more months.

756
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: I think as it gets hotter, it's gonna be a

757
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: lot harder. And we're still we've had like a very

758
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: cold spring thus far.

759
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: I find eight and a half, ten, eight and a half.

760
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: I still think I'm gonna go under. I think the

761
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: magic number for no hitters on the year is ten,

762
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: and I think that we're gonna sit around ten.

763
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: So you think we're gonna sit around ten because a

764
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: round number.

765
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: And you like rent numbers, of course, Yeah, round numbers

766
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: make me comfortable. Wom gonna say eleven ough two ones?

767
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: Get that out of here, disgusting number. Wow. So again

768
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: no transition, but just to get back at the game

769
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: two from a weird no hitter tangent. Jerry's familia is

770
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: an expert at making my heart stop.

771
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: But that's also my boy. He has been so good.

772
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: Though there was some shoty defense editing. I get that,

773
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: but and.

774
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: He's breaking bats, he's getting these little numbers that he I.

775
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this like today a little bit

776
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: because we were talking about familiar coming in made for

777
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Game three and you're like, no shot forty pitches and

778
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: I was like the thing with familia is he's almost

779
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: like anti shifted a way because he just gets such

780
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: shitty contact that they're just gonna find spots. But also

781
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: that's so wrong because you always play the shift. It's

782
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: an advantage one thousand per But like the the the

783
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: dumb baseball braid in me of like, well maybe you know,

784
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: like you never know, you never know for those two

785
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: times that there's bloops, we get rid of all those

786
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: hard ground balls that are caught.

787
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: You know. The one thing that was cool I saw

788
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: a familiar doe that I haven't seen him do much

789
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: in like the twenty five years he's been on the

790
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: Mets is he was incorporating a high four seamer into

791
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: his repertoire, which the guy is allergic to forcing fastballs.

792
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: He is addicted to the sinker.

793
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: But singer is nasty.

794
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: The sinker is nasty. Sticker was sinking last night, sinking.

795
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: But he threw one oh to the Rojas when he

796
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 2: was in a tough spot that he laid off, but

797
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: like he like gave one of like yeah, he was

798
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: about to swing at it, and he gave him a

799
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: look like that was a good pitch, and then he

800
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: kate as drouble on one that was in the zone

801
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: and he pumped in ninety six, and I was like,

802
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: if you could have that in your bag as Yeri's familiar,

803
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: that can change everything because if hitthers have to just

804
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: be aware of that, even if he's only throwing three

805
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: or four every time he's out there, just the fact

806
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: that that's a possibility, you have to change your approach

807
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: against him.

808
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely, because now you're not looking for balls that

809
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: are gonna dropping the zone. That ball, same flat. It's

810
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: completely different pitch so familiar. It's never gonna be easy

811
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: with him, but never. It also hasn't been a problem

812
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: this year, and it's not like it should be. It's

813
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: not like you're saying like, oh, he got lucky. If

814
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: anything he's got he's if he's been dealing, Yeah, if anything,

815
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: he's been getting unlucky to get in these situations and

816
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: he's still getting out of them, which I love to see.

817
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I've always been a big Jerry's

818
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: familiar guy. I've I loved him. I really had no

819
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: issues with the way that he pitched. I know he

820
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: gives people heart attacks, but I always thought that we

821
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: couldn't do twenty fifteen without him, he was a super

822
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: underrated player on that team, and I'm glad to see

823
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: him pitching well again. And then just that's kind of

824
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: like the theme of Game two. The bullpen kept going.

825
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: Loop is kind of good. Loop. I was trying to

826
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: get at the game on Friday night when he came

827
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: out of the game with loop. No one was doing it.

828
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: We got it. Everyone's got to start.

829
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: They're doing They were doing loop. There it is on Saturdays.

830
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: You're here.

831
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, I didn't.

832
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: Oh, it was hilarious, Like it was very faint. But

833
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: Gary was like, I think they're saying loop there it is.

834
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm cool with loop. There it is.

835
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: If we're not gonna do loop, you know, like Lou

836
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: but Luke's fun. I'm a sucker for the low armslot.

837
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: That's cool. Like that's something that there are not many

838
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: pictures in baseball do anymore. So when you have a

839
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: guy that does it, hire's just not used to hitting

840
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: against it. It's it's a different experience and that's fun.

841
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: As you've said in the past, if the Rays like him,

842
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: we like.

843
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: Him, so yeah, anything anything that the Rays do, I

844
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: am happy to copy them. I don't care.

845
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't and that was a that was a classic let

846
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: me see your homework. Okay, now it's mine, like right

847
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: down the same, thank you, thank you for doing this

848
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: work for me.

849
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 2: Yes, and then the other the other guy, our Mets

850
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 2: that out of the month, Trevor freaking May. He came

851
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: in as the backup closer and freaking gas the Diamondbacks.

852
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: He threw ten fastballs in that ninth inning at the

853
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: thirteen pitches, just fucking dousing with heat.

854
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: He's looked, he's looked really good and good. He's just

855
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: he's pumping strikes, pounding attack and hitters, doing all the

856
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: stuff that we saw in Minnesota, except now it just

857
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: seems like he's even better.

858
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: Yes, well, he's got his boy, Jeremy Hefner.

859
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: Back, and he did cite why he came to the Mets,

860
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 1: A big reason, Jeremy Heffner. Jeremy, which Jeremy, Give that guy,

861
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: Give that guy the MVP, a warf the Mets do

862
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: things this year. Please.

863
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 2: I saw someone point out on Twitter yesterday. I even

864
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: forgot that Jeremy a card that was on the Mets staff,

865
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: So I have to give him some credit too.

866
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: Yes, he's like the or he's the assistant because I

867
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: think he was like the quality guy before. Right did

868
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: they make him assistant?

869
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: I thought the quality guy was Bran Schneider, the old

870
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: catcher he is now I think I think a Cardo

871
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: might have been that.

872
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: And I think I think it's a promotion to be

873
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: assistant pitching coach. I would say over the quality can

874
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: control guy because I was also like Rojas's old job.

875
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: I think too.

876
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, Carlo is the assistant pitcher coach. I

877
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 2: think both those jobs are prett decent jobs. Roh has

878
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: got hired to be the manager from that job.

879
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: True. I think it's like a way to get a

880
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: guy in the dugout that you respect their opinion of

881
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: and you want to just be able to pick their

882
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: brain a little bit.

883
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, thatak. I love that role because across baseball, that

884
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: is the guy who's the intermediary between the nerds and

885
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 2: the jocks. He takes information that the analytics staff and

886
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: the Mets research, any team's research and development department will

887
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: give them, and he can disseminate it to the team

888
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: in a way that makes sense for everybody. That's a

889
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: very important job in modern baseball, and anyone who has

890
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 2: that you know, you're a good communicator, you have good

891
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: relationships with all kinds of people, and you're very thorough

892
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: in your explanations and people trust you.

893
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: Which is why it's you always keep an eye out

894
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: for those guys for possible managers, because we've been seeing

895
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: it more and more. I think even Mark Cottsee last year,

896
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: who I think was with one. I don't know if

897
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: he was with the Giants or the A's, he was

898
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: a guy who was getting manager rumors as well. Quality

899
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: can control coach.

900
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 2: Like you said, bal Delley was the same with the Twins.

901
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: Yep. So guys to keep an eye out for Game

902
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: two though, great game, another good win, Mets are up

903
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: to nothing, won the series. Game three, Jacob de Gram

904
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: on the mound and you're going, we're about have to

905
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: get a sweep. Let's do it. And the Mets did sweep.

906
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: Now was it because of Jacob de Gram A little bit?

907
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: Definitely a little bit, Definitely a little bit helped a lot.

908
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: But we also saw Jacob de Grom leave the game early,

909
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: which is terrifying.

910
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: Very scary. It was nice just to see the team

911
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 2: gut went out because it was all hands on deck

912
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: today and we didn't. There was a couple of innings

913
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: to the end there I did not feel like we

914
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: had it or just everything was about to collapse in

915
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: on us. But it worked out. But just to jump

916
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: back to the beginning of the game for a second,

917
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: I listened to the beginning of his game on the radio,

918
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: you know, some Mother's Day festivities, and there was a

919
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 2: lot of hard contact in the first couple of innings

920
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 2: off of de Gram And we think everything the guy

921
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: does is like so spectacular. He's like your child who's like, oh,

922
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 2: thank you so much for this picture. Wow, you cook

923
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 2: such a great meal. Like he could do no wrong.

924
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

925
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: So Howie and Wayne were like, wow, de Gram is

926
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 2: just he he can really do everything he's pitching to

927
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: contact specifically, yeah, just to save the bullpen. You love

928
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 2: a guy like that. Doc Goodan used to do things

929
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 2: like that his great season nineteen eighty five, and I

930
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: was thinking, like, gos shit, he's he's just giving up

931
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: some hard hits right now.

932
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: He just didn't look comfortable ever on the mound. And

933
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: Gary Keith even talked about in the first he made

934
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: a couple of pitches and you could see, you know

935
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: how he does like that thing every once in a

936
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: while where he like kind of messing around with his

937
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: lat He was doing it again a lot this game,

938
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: and then the fifth inning, where he struggled a lot.

939
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: On the fifth he walked three batters, which we haven't

940
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: seen since the last time he got pulled from a

941
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: game early, which was in Philadelphia, where he started the

942
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: first inning through forty five pitches, walk three guys. Shockingly,

943
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: because he's shake up to Grom, still didn't give up

944
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: a run, which is nuts in that Philadelphia, but he

945
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: exited after the first same thing kind of happened today,

946
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: except it was in the fifth. He came back out

947
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: for his warm up pitches in the sixth, Brian Chicklow

948
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: whatever his name is, said no, we're not doing this,

949
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: you're coming out, and they pulled them and they said

950
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: it was precautionary, but also apparently after the game it

951
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: might not really be like as relaxed as we thought

952
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: it was.

953
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: I I think there's no way it's relaxed. I would

954
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: be shocked if we don't catch a DL stint from the.

955
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: Gram at least like ten. I don't want to see it.

956
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: But if that's what's gonna take for him to be healthy.

957
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: That's what we need.

958
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think he probably just needs to give

959
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 2: that LAT a break. It's clearly been bothering him now

960
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: for consecutive starts over the course of two weeks, like

961
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: his mechanics were off. It's causing issues. What you got?

962
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: Gary and Keith mentioned something and I don't know if

963
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: you heard this, but apparently in de Gram's last Zoom

964
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: conference when he got scratched from the start, he said

965
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: that every single night or the next day when he

966
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: wakes up after he starts, the LAT always is killing him.

967
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: He goes, without doubt, it's always bothering he goes. But

968
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: the thing that's different about this one is that it

969
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: linked past one day he goes. Normally, it's just the

970
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: day when I wake up and then I'm fine for

971
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the day, He's like, But this one

972
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: continued throughout the day and then until the next morning,

973
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: I think, and he goes, And that's why we decided

974
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: to scratch me, because like, it just doesn't stay like that.

975
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 1: So costs for concern for sure.

976
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. And during that during that like monologue that

977
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: they were talking about there, I remember I think it

978
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 2: might have been wrong because He talked about the fact

979
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: that starting pitching, just the essence of being a starting pitcher,

980
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: you beat the shit out of yourself for one day,

981
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: you spend three days just recovering, and then you have

982
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: to do it again, like where you go. So that

983
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: entire process is like up and down, physically up and down.

984
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: So it's hard to know what is normal soreness and

985
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: what is caused for concern, And clearly, once it actually

986
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: affects your performance, like it has for de Grom these

987
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 2: last two times out is becoming cause for concern.

988
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy is that even at his

989
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: absolute like I don't want to the absolute weakest, but

990
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: even at like when he's not at his best, he's

991
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: still limited the Diamondbacks when he was off to one

992
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: run yeah, for perfect innings, unbelievable. He's so he's so

993
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: when he doesn't even have it, he still had And

994
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: that's just the story of Jacob de Gram. I think

995
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: as a met he's so good even when he's not.

996
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,959
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, and even when he his mechanics were off,

997
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to locate anything. He still has not

998
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: thrown a curveball.

999
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: Which I don't think he's going to all year.

1000
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like that is it. Bitch is gone.

1001
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 2: But he I just I want him to take a

1002
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 2: week or two honestly, figure it out. No rush here.

1003
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 2: We I wish that Carlos Carrasco's timeline initially was correct,

1004
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: because this would have been perfect to just swap those

1005
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 2: two guys out. Right now, it's not gonna happen, so

1006
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to really figure it out for a

1007
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. It seems like, yeah, Michael, Lil Harry,

1008
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: we got a couple off days this week, thank god,

1009
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 2: But I don't know what's gonna happen.

1010
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely something to monitor. Casher came in for him, Yeah,

1011
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: he did immediately looked. I mean he got it done.

1012
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did get it done. It's hard to be

1013
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 2: the guy who comes in for an injury because you're

1014
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: not You're like you're cold. You're absolutely cold.

1015
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: And even though you get unlimited pitches. You can tell

1016
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: from experience, nobody actually does truly take the right amount

1017
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: of time to warm up when they come in for

1018
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: an injury. They'll throw their you know, fifteen pitches or whatever.

1019
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: But like a lot of these guys sometimes could take

1020
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: twenty well a few more pitches than that, and they

1021
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: just won't do that on the mound.

1022
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, because based on human psychology, like you're on the

1023
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: mound already and you can feel like the fit. You're

1024
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: like in front of the fans, everyone's restless, like the

1025
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: batter's right there, like everyone's waiting for you. That's just

1026
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 2: simply an awkward situation. Like from a psychological standpoint, you're

1027
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 2: not unless you're like one of like special kinds of person,

1028
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: You're not gonna work do that until you're completely ready.

1029
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 2: It's just not gonna happen. It didn't look like he was.

1030
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 2: He walked the tight rope for the second consecutive outing

1031
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: round it out. It was like it was like kind

1032
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: of like when he was like a plane and he

1033
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: like was flying and then he was starting to go

1034
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: down a little bit and he just like who pulled

1035
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: it back up? Yeah, we're good. Figured it out.

1036
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: He figured it out. Barnes came in, did a good

1037
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: job in the seventh, didn't do so in the eighth.

1038
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: No, he's not too any guy.

1039
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you wanted him for two though.

1040
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: I not that they wanted them for two, but I

1041
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: thought he was the best option that was possible in

1042
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: that because I didn't I'd rather him for two than

1043
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: DS for two. That's fair because I know, yeah, I

1044
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 2: don't even know saying that Alad does. He looks so clean,

1045
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: He looked so good in that ending. I've liked him

1046
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: so much that I was like, whatever, I text, you

1047
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: like Barnes again.

1048
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: Yes, I know, he has looked really good. I think

1049
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: there was like a tweet about like all the relievers

1050
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: eras over like the last of days. Barnes has like

1051
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: I think either a zero or like a one to

1052
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: one or something like that, which is or it's probably

1053
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: one one now because he did give up the run

1054
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: home run to as Druble, which thank goodness, his home

1055
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: run came in a time that didn't matter because you

1056
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: knew again, just like Paul DeJong was a lock last week,

1057
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: as Druble was a lock to hit a home run

1058
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: against the Mets.

1059
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: He has in bigger situations, so I was happy this

1060
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: was the one he chose.

1061
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a solo shot. Diaz came in for Barnes,

1062
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: cleaned it up lights out again, and even we almost

1063
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: we almost got a little taste of the old Mets.

1064
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: There because the pop up with two outs in the

1065
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: ninth inning, h VR called it insanely early, by the way,

1066
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people give him maccan crap. That's not

1067
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: McCann's ball. That is a significantly harder play for the

1068
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: catcher to make than it is for the third basement,

1069
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: and VR called it. So that's his baseball, and McCann's

1070
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: not supposed to say you like, you know, he's got

1071
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: to be quiet there. That's not his baseball, So don't

1072
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: give him acancrap for that. All in VR ended up

1073
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: not mattering. But the thing that I loved the most

1074
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: about that error was, I don't know if you saw

1075
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: when Diaz got the ball back. We've seen Diazzis. He

1076
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: can get a little You can kind of read his

1077
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: body language a little bit there. His body language was fantastic.

1078
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: He gave he gave a shrugging er or whatever, like

1079
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this next guy out, so it doesn't matter.

1080
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 1: The confidence is there with Edwin, the Trumpets World Baseball

1081
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: Classic Edwin. You know it's coming. He's back, and I'm

1082
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: loving it. I'm loving it. He's so good now, he

1083
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: is so good.

1084
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: You gotta give him a lot a lot, a lot

1085
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: of credit. We basically, in a three game series that

1086
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 2: we swept, got six innings from our starting pitching. Yeah,

1087
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: that's shocking, because we didn't use the starter for one game.

1088
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: Peterson barely got one inning. He got into the second

1089
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: and did nothing there, and then the ground had to

1090
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 2: leave after five today. So there was a lot asked

1091
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 2: of this ballpen over these last couple of days, even

1092
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: going back to the double headed that we played right

1093
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: before the Friday game in Saint Louis. All five of

1094
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: these games, the mess of one currently in a five

1095
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: game winning streak. If the listeners at home didn't know,

1096
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: I loved the Met five game winning streak, that's sick, sick.

1097
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: We freaking battled Diaz today through his hardest pitch since

1098
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,479
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. That ninth innink.

1099
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

1100
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred and one point six miles an hour.

1101
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: That's fast, fast, that's fast. Serious, that's Alvarado fast. But

1102
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 2: he actually knows where it's going.

1103
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: So it's better the Mets gutsy win gutsy series because

1104
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: they they they are playing better baseball now, which is nice.

1105
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 1: They're starting to hit a little bit more, they're starting

1106
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: to just do the little things that maybe we're struggling.

1107
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: We still haven't seen that offensive explosion just yet. We

1108
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen the whole team really hit in a game

1109
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: yet this year, which is kind of crazy to say,

1110
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: but everyone's we're starting to see guys pick each other up,

1111
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: and that's huge. Lindor picked up the team on Friday

1112
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: Night Saturday. We got picked up by the bullpen. The

1113
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: bullpen just picked us up. Even Gaseelman picked up on

1114
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: Friday Night. Today, Miguel Cashro, Barnes Daz. We got a

1115
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: big hit from Confordo. That's squed run. Dom Smith got

1116
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: an RBI single later in the game. Guys are picking

1117
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: each other up, and those are the things that are

1118
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna help make this team become a playoff contender, become

1119
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: a team that's going to be tough for teams to play.

1120
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: Is when ever, everyone is doing the little things right now.

1121
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: The Mets, that's what they did the series. They did

1122
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: all the things that they needed to, all the little things.

1123
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: Quick word about the Oriole series.

1124
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's talk about the Oriole series real quick,

1125
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: because it's it's a quick series and of itself two games,

1126
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: which is nice because I I mean I'd love to

1127
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: play the Oriols for more. But also the Oriols have

1128
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a pain in our side

1129
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: the last few times that we faced them always and

1130
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: actually we're actually playing them playing good baseball now. Normally

1131
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: we run to the Oils at are absolute worst than

1132
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: we lose to them. So I'm feeling good about this series.

1133
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 2: We got meet sweep us in twenty nineteen.

1134
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a U and that was

1135
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: a really bad Orioles team. They had nothing going on

1136
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:35,959
Speaker 1: that team.

1137
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: I got the first picking drafted Rushman.

1138
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were so bad, but we got Means ver Stroman,

1139
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: which is gonna be fun because Means coming off his

1140
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: no hitter, that's gonna be his first start since then.

1141
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: And I know you're a huge John Means guy. I

1142
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's a fine picture. I'm not

1143
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: gonna the Orioles announcers. They deserve to be happy. Guy

1144
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: threw the no hitter, but I don't know who it was.

1145
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: After he threw it, he goes and that's you know,

1146
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: you start putting respect on John Means's name as one

1147
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: of the best pictures in Major League Baseball. Go, Well,

1148
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: there's about thirty guys I would choose over him, So

1149
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: let's not get crazy.

1150
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair range though. For John means

1151
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: for John means that's exceptional being an arguably top thirty

1152
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: pitcher in baseball.

1153
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, but you know the whole like put

1154
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: him in the conversation, is one of the best in

1155
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: the game, Like, well, I mean, yeah, sure, then then uh,

1156
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 1: Tomasino is one of the best catchers in baseball because

1157
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: he's top thirty. You know, well, okay, now, hold on,

1158
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: every team is five starting pitchers, every team is all right, yeah,

1159
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: get out of here. But regardless, he's he pictu really well,

1160
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: he's a good picture. He's not gonna be in It's

1161
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be an easy game.

1162
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be cool to watch Means of Stroman face

1163
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 2: off because those two are a little bit similar in

1164
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: the fact that they're more technicians. Yeah, like, you're not

1165
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 2: gonna see a pitch in that game over ninety five

1166
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 2: miles an hour. You're gonna see a ton of change ups,

1167
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: a ton of change ups, a ton of sinkers, but sure,

1168
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: maybe a couple sliders mixed in. If Stroman is listening again,

1169
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman I know you're listening to work on that.

1170
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 2: Get that slider in there. I love that stuff.

1171
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: Drop us a follow, Yeah, drops the follow.

1172
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe retweet us, that'd be nice. But I love

1173
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: you Stro. It's gonna be a funing to watch. It

1174
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 2: gonna be good pitching in that game. But the real

1175
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 2: draw of this series is gonna be Wednesday afternoon at

1176
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 2: City Field. The Dark Knight rises again.

1177
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 1: I hope he rises and falls so quickly. I hope

1178
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: that the Dark I hope we're talking about the Dark

1179
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: Knight falling on Wednesday. Yes, everyone probably wants like happy

1180
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: for Matt Harvey. Good, do whatever you want in Baltimore.

1181
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: But now that you're playing against the Mets, I hope

1182
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: we put up twenty five fucking runs and you don't

1183
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: get out of the first sitting with an out. I

1184
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: want to see this guy shit the bed so badly.

1185
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: The worst Met could happen besides the Mets losing is

1186
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: him come out and pitch really well. Because all we're

1187
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna see from Mets fans on Twitter is going to be, Oh,

1188
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: Harvey's looking good. Maybe we bring him back with the

1189
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: trade deadline. Maybe this is a guy that we de

1190
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: Gram's hurt. Maybe we get Harvey. Shut up, don't say

1191
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: that shit. He is not a good pitcher anymore. He

1192
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: is not the same guy. He physically is not the

1193
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: same picture. He can't continue to have the success that

1194
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: he's had this year. He can be a fine pitcher,

1195
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: he can be a four to five VR guy, sure,

1196
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 1: but I want to see the Mets just fucking destroy him.

1197
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't hate Harvey, but I hate the idea. I

1198
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: hate the idea of all the ruckus that's gonna happen

1199
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: if he does have a good start, and oh man,

1200
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: it's it's a game that I might have to go

1201
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: to because I don't want to look at Twitter on Wednesday.

1202
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: I have no interest in seeing the dumb fucking tweets

1203
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: from everybody about oh he threw one ninety four. Maybe

1204
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: if we put him in the panel hit ninety eight. No,

1205
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: that's not how that works.

1206
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 2: I'm not excited to see Harvey again just because of

1207
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: the social media, like man, like, just the craziness is

1208
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: going to ensue. I think it's hysterical. That'saiwan Walker is

1209
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: gonna pitch another day game.

1210
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: Day man. He's the day Man, and hopefully he continues

1211
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: to be a bulldog on the mountain for us, which

1212
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: he's done all.

1213
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: Year and think I loves the sun. He just loves

1214
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 2: the sun. He's gonna hang out in the daytime would

1215
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 2: be nice, but noon starts. So everyone out there remember

1216
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 2: noone start on Wednesday.

1217
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: Oh, nuone start. Oh I'm going I'm going to that game.

1218
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: You're gonna be in give me in town.

1219
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe I'm not gone.

1220
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go to the game Wednesday. Maybe. But uh.

1221
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: Players to watch from the Orioles not many, but I

1222
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: know you got one you want to talk about.

1223
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a fun player to watch. Again. The

1224
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: Orioles don't have a lot of pitching to boast where

1225
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: if we see Sesar Valdez this series and means something

1226
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 2: went horribly wrong because he's the Orioles closer. He is

1227
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: infuriating to face because he is just the king of

1228
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 2: change ups. He just will float change ups in there

1229
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 2: every single pitch and it's annoying as crap. But my

1230
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: oral wi watch the series is gonna be Cedric Mullins,

1231
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: who was a pretty decent prospect. I think he was

1232
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 2: like a borderline top one hundred guy last few years.

1233
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 2: He fell out after a bad stint in the majors,

1234
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: but during the offseason he gave up.

1235
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: Switch hitting and it's been a godsend.

1236
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 2: Literally, he is near the top of Major League Baseball

1237
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: right now in batting average and hits. He he just

1238
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 2: hits lefty and he's actually hitting well, which.

1239
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: Is I also think. I also think in previous years

1240
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: he's killed the Mets, if I remember that correctly. So

1241
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: that's a bad combination of him being better and also

1242
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: being a Met killer.

1243
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: Now I can see that for sure, but he's a

1244
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: guy to watch. He'll probably get a couple of really

1245
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 2: annoying base hits. But I think I think we're ready

1246
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: for a seven game win streak for the Mets. There's

1247
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: a very good chance that the Mets do come out

1248
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 2: with the seven game win win streak. They should come

1249
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: out with the seven game win streak.

1250
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: They are better than the Orioles. This team is improved

1251
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, but they're still not a good team. There's

1252
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: still the worst team that Al East, still one of

1253
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: the worst teams in baseball. Brandon Hid's a good manager.

1254
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: I actually think he's gonna be able to get them

1255
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: to where they need to be in the future. If

1256
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: they keep them around for that long. But they're just

1257
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: not there right now. And as long as Addlee Rushman

1258
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: doesn't get called up in the next few days, I'm

1259
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about this series. So Mets should be

1260
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: getting on a seven game win streak for sure. Absolutely,

1261
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: And then I mean, do you want to do a

1262
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: minor league ground up. We're doing pretty good on time here.

1263
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: I feel like I'd love to talk about the kids.

1264
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 2: That's my favorite thing.

1265
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick, let's talk about the youngins, because the

1266
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: Youngins Minor league baseball started up again. The Youngins are

1267
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: looking good.

1268
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: The Youngins are looking really, really, really good, especially the

1269
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: Mets like core group of top prospects between Francisco Alvarez,

1270
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: Ronnie Mauricio, Brett Baby, and Pete crow Armstrong. Two of

1271
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 2: those guys are in Saint Lucie and two of them

1272
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,479
Speaker 2: are in Cyclones, right or is it Brooklyn one?

1273
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think there's Alvarez is in Saint Lucy.

1274
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so alvarezno Pca are in Saint Lucis. Marisio and

1275
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: Baty are the two and three hitters, the three and

1276
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: four hitters in Brooklyn combined. This is going into play

1277
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I just the only player they'll know who

1278
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 2: what they did on Sunday was Oliver because Brooklyn's rained out.

1279
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 2: But those guys combined over the first couple days of

1280
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 2: the minor league season, we're twenty seven for sixty two

1281
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 2: with eleven doubles, three home runs, seventeen RBIs, twenty walks,

1282
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 2: and sixteen strikeouts.

1283
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: And I think the last two things are the big

1284
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: things to really take out of because, of course, like

1285
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: two games, you can find a good stretch of any

1286
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: players if you combine them together. But the walks and

1287
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: the strikeouts are huge because that's what you're looking for

1288
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: right now. You see young players with that kind of

1289
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: plate discipline and they're striking out. But that's also spread

1290
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: across four guys. The plate discipline, more walks and strikeouts

1291
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: for guys who are what all under the age of

1292
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty one.

1293
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 2: If they think between Alvarez, Mauricio, and Karl Armstrong they're

1294
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: all under twenty, yeah, I think, well, Mariso is twenty,

1295
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: I think yeah.

1296
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: PCAs eighteen, right, Alvarez is eighteen nineteen, Mauricio is I

1297
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: think just twenty, and Beatty is twenty one. He's weird

1298
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: because he was a pretill.

1299
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 2: Turned twenty a month ago April April fourth.

1300
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: So he's a young and still but they're uh that.

1301
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: It's also crazy to see power like that from guys

1302
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 2: so young. Usually the power was one of the last

1303
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 2: thing that comes I guess the only three homers between

1304
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 2: all of them. But Alvarez puts some crazy home runs

1305
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,280
Speaker 2: on tape at the alternate site Loisio. As we said,

1306
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: he's like our Brandon Marshall. The guy's a behemoth. Now

1307
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 2: baby's a grown man. He was like a twenty three

1308
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 2: year old in high school whatever. And PCA has been

1309
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 2: great too. I love pc A.

1310
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna be uh he's the Brandon Nimo archetype.

1311
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: And the miners a little bit there with yea better

1312
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: six inches short than yeah, but he's better. No, he's

1313
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,959
Speaker 1: not six inches shorter. Pc is a big kid.

1314
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 2: I thought he was a small guy.

1315
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: No, he's big.

1316
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 2: That could change my entire perspective.

1317
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's like six to two six.

1318
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: Six flat, which is fine. That's fine.

1319
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's a better fielder anyway. He's a legitimate

1320
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: center field.

1321
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 2: He had two outfields assists today alone.

1322
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: I love to hear it, love to hear it. So yeah,

1323
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: the young guns are looking really exciting. We got some

1324
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: bad news from the minor leagues Matt Allen, Tommy John surgery.

1325
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: But hey, listen, there's a time to get it, get

1326
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: it when you're young. And for a guy who throws

1327
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: that hard, you knew was gonna come at some point.

1328
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 1: Probably the only thing that's disappointing with him is now

1329
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: we don't probably see a full minor league season from

1330
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: him until about twenty twenty three, which stinks.

1331
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 2: That sounds like it's really far away, and that also

1332
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,479
Speaker 2: guarantees he basically will not be in the majors until

1333
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 2: he himself is like twenty four, twenty five years old. Yeah,

1334
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,439
Speaker 2: which also stinks because he was a guy who looked

1335
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 2: like might've been on the fast track. But that's all right.

1336
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 2: Another minor leaguer who I liked, let Thomas's Bookie is

1337
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 2: a Pooky pitched on Friday night after some kind of

1338
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 2: weird things that was happening in pregame. He was scrashed

1339
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 2: and then he ended up pitching again five innings out

1340
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 2: of relief. He looked very good. He's over at Syracuse,

1341
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: so I think it's a good chance we see him

1342
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 2: sooner rather than later.

1343
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: Yep.

1344
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 2: If this ends up being a lengthy absence for de Gram,

1345
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: which we're really praying hoping it's not. Once Yamamoto proves

1346
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 2: he's just fine and not actually good, we're gonna see

1347
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 2: Almo the next week. I'm just mentally preparing myself for

1348
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get positive, but I think we see

1349
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 2: Thomas a bookie in the major leagues at some point,

1350
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: not before July. If I'm calling my shot here.

1351
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's the minor leagues for the Mets aren't

1352
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: particularly exciting from afar, but the more you dive into

1353
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: the guys that they have there, there are some players

1354
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: to keep an eye out for. And we'll definitely keep

1355
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: an eye out on all these guys and give you

1356
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: all the updates that we get because this is the

1357
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: future of the Mets. We'd Mets Up podcast. We're talking

1358

Speaker 1: about Mets not just now, but for the future, and

1359
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of really exciting young

1360
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: players there. I think that you got any more prospects stuff,

1361
