Oh my God, the New York Mets. 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,600 We're going to start with them. First up, the Today show, as 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,680 always, is brought to you by Sullivan Papine. 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,080 Find sullivanonlinetriallaw1.com. 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240 That's trial law1.com. Remember the name Sullivan 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,080 Propane and by Premio sausage, by far the best sausage in the 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,000 world. That's the way sausage should 19 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000 be. fundamentpremiofoods.com or in your local grocery store. 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,680 Met fans. I, I just, I don't know what to 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840 tell you, man. I, I, I just, I mean, I've got 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,440 some thoughts for you, but my God Almighty, if you would have, 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,360 if you would have given me like 10 options on what the Met 24 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,880 season will look like at this point, I would come just, I 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,280 mean, 10 and 20 at this point would not have been an option. 26 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,360 They are just an unmitigated disgrace. 27 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,000 They can't win more than one game in a row. 28 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,440 They've lost 16 of 19. They're already basically 12 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,720 games out of the NL ES. Now the Phillies think too. 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,520 But I mean, you've got so many teams to catch. 31 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:42,280 Their run differential is almost -40 at this point. 32 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,720 Sean Minai is morphed into a $25 million mop up man David 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,000 Peterson stinks. Lendor is going to miss months. 34 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600 For some reason, Melendez is suddenly your 3 hitter. 35 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,600 I, I, I guess Alvarez didn't cut it as a three hitter, so now 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,680 it's MJ Melendez's turn. Marcus Simeon's washed none of 37 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,440 the young promising kids with kids, whether it's Alvarez, 38 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,200 whether it's Mauricio, you know, whether it's baiting, none of 39 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,080 these kids seem to be. I'm not talking about Ben's. 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,720 The other, the other crew, obviously Mark Vientos, none of 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,560 them really amounting to anything that many of us thought 42 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,240 that or at least some of us thought that some of them could. 43 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,840 Maybe not all of them, but I mean, you think that you would 44 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600 think that at least one or two of these guys will be really 45 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,200 influencing the bottom line every single night. 46 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,720 I mean, it's just it's if the managers lost, the general 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,160 manager stinks, the fans are livid. 48 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,840 The stadium's empty. Roberts likely headed to the IL 49 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,760 now those are all things that we know all right so anybody can 50 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,360 talk about things that we know you can't just skip over the 51 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,800 main story. I mean, although I do have some 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,120 positive stuff, I'm going to surprise you with some stuff 53 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,240 here today and we'll do some Yankee stuff. 54 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,480 And as I said, Michael Kay right around 11/30, 11:45 on an early 55 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160 state of the Yankees and a lot of NBA last night. 56 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,840 And obviously get ready for the Knicks and the Celtics, see if 57 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,880 they're that collision course continues anyway. 58 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:10,480 So I mean, it's it's really I'm not going to yell and I'm not 59 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,400 going to rant and scream because I've already said that I would 60 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,360 have fired the manager. It's not all this fault. 61 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,960 Just to reiterate that I, I know that it's not the roster is 62 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,880 deplorably mismanaged and horrendously constructed. 63 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,280 I mean, it really is amazing for a general manager who talked 64 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,160 about run prevention, tighten things up. 65 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,920 Everywhere you look, basically every single player is out of 66 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,000 position with the exception of one or two. 67 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,440 So I don't I don't really think that it's going to get better, 68 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,680 all right, At least better to the point where the Mets, you 69 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,320 know, wind up having a good season. 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,160 I don't think they're going to win 60 something games. 71 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,680 I mean, maybe they get hot, maybe Lendore comes back. 72 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,320 Maybe eventually they mess around and, you know, RIP off 73 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,440 some wins and, you know, maybe they get to the 83 wins they had 74 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,640 last year. I would bet much on the under 75 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,360 there. You know, maybe they don't even 76 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,040 get to 500. I, I, I don't know. 77 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,600 But here's what I do know, all right? 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,480 And you know, it, it, it's a lot of reading things from a 79 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,720 distance and reading body language and, and that's a 80 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,360 little tricky. You know, we all think we know 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,279 everything that's going on. We all think that we know the 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,320 inner dynamics of of every team and every relationship, right? 83 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,640 Opening day, the Mets are introduced on the first base 84 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,240 side at Citi Field. They come out right and 85 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,960 everybody's pumped up the handshakes and you see soda on 86 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,000 the door basically go like this. And then of course, everybody 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,400 reads that they can't stand each other. 88 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,600 You know, the Dr. the Puerto Rican WBC, that backdrop, 89 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,880 they're not feeling with each other. 90 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,120 All right, I mean, maybe there's an element of that that is true. 91 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,040 All right. And then the other aspect, I'm 92 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,560 going to, I'm going to get back to that in a minute. 93 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,880 Why? I'm not sure that it's true, but 94 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,640 I want to give Juan Soto some credit here. 95 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,320 And really the only way that the Mets can save their season is 96 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,240 that Juan Soto has to turn into the basically the basketball 97 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,680 version of Michael Jordan. Now, the good news is, is that 98 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,920 he's capable of doing that. And I think he's already in the 99 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,360 early stages of doing that. I mean, Juan Soto starting to 100 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,800 hit. But what, what, what, what a 101 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,320 shocker. Juan Soto's good, All right, So 102 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,320 I'm not surprised by this, and I fully expect it to continue. 103 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,120 The problem, though, and we've talked about the civilian way 104 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,400 sideways, so this pertains to Aaron Judge with the Yankees. 105 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960 And, you know, no championships for him. 106 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,280 Like in baseball, you really, truly are a byproduct of what's 107 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,760 around you. You can only elevate the bottom 108 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,880 line so much, All right? You play a game. 109 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,120 If Anaya, you know, can't throw a strike or Peterson can't 110 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,880 navigate the first couple of innings without giving up seven 111 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,960 runs, like what do you expect? Once Soto can't hit a nine run 112 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,400 home run, he can hit it off the Shea Bridge. 113 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,480 It's still worth one run if nobody's on base. 114 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,760 So we we've got to operate within the context of what Juan 115 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,920 Soto can truly do for this team. All right? 116 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,120 That's the baseball stuff that's going to take care of itself. 117 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,800 I want to look at two things that have been said in the last 118 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,440 couple of days now. The first one, J Rod, the Lindor 119 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,280 thing, get that up after I want the first thing. 120 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:09,600 This was 2 days ago when they beat the nationals. 121 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,120 And you know, Juan Soto is, is largely positioned as a guy 122 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,520 who's just to himself and, and really doesn't care about team 123 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,400 dynamics, whether it's celebrations or chemistry or 124 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,280 being a leader. And this is what Juan Soto said 125 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:27,320 the other day after the Mets win, quote. 126 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,760 We've been grinding every moment, every swing, and it 127 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,920 finally comes through. Now, of course, they followed up 128 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,520 last night. They get absolutely bamboozled. 129 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,320 Not his fault. So it seems a little more hollow 130 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,680 now. But this is not the point. 131 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,480 This is just the beginning. We're starting something special 132 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,560 right here. We're trying to go all the way. 133 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,040 This is just a little taste of what it's going to be at the 134 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,320 end. All right, J Rod, and get me 135 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,680 back up. We'll get to the Lindor stuff in 136 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,880 a second. That is a guy who was doing at 137 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,440 least #1 he's, he's performing right now, but he's also taking 138 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,760 steps and taking measures to, to try to do things that many of 139 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,720 you, including myself, have have said in the past that he's 140 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,920 either reluctant to do or really just incapable of doing based on 141 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,680 his personality. Like, that's leadership right 142 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,480 there. You know, we, we, we could guess 143 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,080 and we can throw darts all day. Nemo and Pete, they're 144 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,280 Republicans and Landor's the Democrat. 145 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,720 It's not working. Get him out. 146 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,080 And it's not all the conjecture, all the speculation. 147 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,400 See, chemistry is an interesting thing. 148 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,360 It's not tangible. Like I could give you a million 149 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,600 stats. Like I went through the baseball 150 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,520 Saman stuff the other day with with Ben Rice, right, and all 151 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,800 the red and I, I just wanted to trace through some things why I 152 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,800 believe he's an absolute superstar. 153 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,760 And what you're seeing is real because you also saw this last 154 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,920 year based on the numbers, right? 155 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720 Those are things that we can you could try to argue numbers, but 156 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,560 you're not going to argue numbers with me because I'm not 157 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,880 going to waste my time. Like I'm not going to argue 158 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,960 math. I'm just not, you know, the 159 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,440 numbers are what they are now in small samples. 160 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,440 Sometimes numbers can be, I'll certainly grant you that. 161 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,360 But numbers are irrefutable. They are statistically, 162 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,040 statistics are irrefutable. They are hardcore, tangible 163 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,640 things that you either choose to accept because you believe that 164 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,920 math is is what it is, or you don't. 165 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,040 And if you don't, that's on you. The other stuff is a much more 166 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,400 interesting conversation because there's really no right or 167 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,680 wrong, because we really don't know the depth of leadership, 168 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,360 the willingness of leadership. We can take stabs at it. 169 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,280 Like you could watch the Knicks play and say, hey, Josh Hart, I 170 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,919 hope, and by the way, hopefully he's all, I don't know if he's 171 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:35,400 gonna play tonight with that back injury. 172 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,159 You saw him the other night when he hit the deck, you could tell 173 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,200 that that was a little different than when Josh Hart usually hits 174 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880 the court. So I, I, I would not expect to 175 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,480 see him tonight. And that's not necessarily a 176 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,440 good thing. But I, you know, anyway, you 177 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,240 know, you look at Josh Hart, you look at the Knicks or you look 178 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,520 at hockey teams, captain's assistance, the leadership, it's 179 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800 just it's there. It's omnipresent, whether it's 180 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,280 after a win, whether it's after a loss, There's an there's a 181 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,240 reliable emotional and personality trait that doesn't 182 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,840 fluctuate, right? It's funny, I see this with a 183 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,440 lot of young players, some of the kids that I coach like and, 184 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,920 and it's, it's normal, it's natural. 185 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,000 It's not a knock on the kids, although they should change by 186 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,320 the time you're an adult, especially if you're a pro. 187 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,800 But a lot of young kids when they're doing well, they're 188 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,240 riding high, they're right, but not, I don't mean it an arrogant 189 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,840 way, but their confidence is flowing and they're feeling good 190 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080 about themselves. Their body language is really 191 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,960 good. And then, you know, couple of 192 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,880 whips, couple of pop ups, bang into a double play, get rocked 193 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,760 on the mound, make a few errors in the field. 194 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,760 Suddenly that very obvious glow that they have as young ball 195 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,400 players, for some it dissipates and for ease, even a fewer more 196 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,760 than the sum, it actually becomes a detriment because then 197 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,480 their body language becomes terrible. 198 00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,200 And then that's something you got to navigate. 199 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,440 You don't really see that at the big league level, but you do. 200 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,920 But you do know when somebody is emotionally reliable. 201 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,960 All right, like I think about this, right, some of the shows 202 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,520 that I grew up listening to, and I'll start with Mike and Chris, 203 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,760 right. You knew that you could be you 204 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,120 could be more of a mic fan, you could be more of a dog fan, 205 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,680 stuff like but you knew when at one O 1 every single day and 206 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,080 good afternoon, everybody, like you just knew. 207 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,640 Bang, here comes Mad Dog energy ready, you know, buttoned up and 208 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,560 then Mike parachutes in with the knowledge that, of course, Mike 209 00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:25,280 is more the the authority, if you will, and like you just knew 210 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,160 what you were getting every single down. 211 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,240 Of course, some shows were better than others. 212 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,360 That's just the way it goes in our business. 213 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,200 Not every shows in a plus, but it, it kind of always sounded 214 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,560 the same to start, you know, no matter what was going on because 215 00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:41,840 they're human beings as well. Argument with a wife, a kid, 216 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,280 sick, whatever it might be a, a contract issue. 217 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,800 Show starts good afternoon, boom. 218 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,920 And here we go basically 5 1/2 hours of of muddiness and 219 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,360 greatness, right. That is reliability. 220 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,480 That is a, that is a, those are personalities that are reliable. 221 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,040 And, you know, I think in the case of Juan Soto, there's been 222 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,320 so much guessing and so many theories about is he happy here? 223 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,720 Does he regret leaving the Yankees? 224 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,400 Does he get along with Lindor? Does he want to be a leader? 225 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,080 Is he even feeling Queens like, you know, I, I, I don't know the 226 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,040 answers to all that. And I don't really care right 227 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,880 now because what I'm going to do, I'm going to give Juan Soto. 228 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,840 I'm going to do something a lot of Yankee fans don't do. 229 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,360 And I'm going to do something that even some Met fans aren't 230 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,840 doing right now. I'm not talking about playing in 231 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,720 terms of talent and production. I'm going to give Juan Soto the 232 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:39,600 benefit of the doubt in terms of him at least trying to be a 233 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760 leader. OK, slap that up again. 234 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,480 Just slap that up once more. And then we'll get to the 235 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,960 endorse stuff, which I think is another, another example of of 236 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,320 Juan Soto trying to elevate this moribund, pathetic, lifeless, 237 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,000 said sack joke of a baseball team that you watch every night. 238 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,600 We've been grinding every moment, every swing, and it 239 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,440 finally comes through. This is just the beginning. 240 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,080 We're starting something special right now that's obviously 241 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,240 debated. I mean, special. 242 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,240 I mean, you couldn't be. It's the exact opposite of 243 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,800 special. But this is him. 244 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,600 We're starting something special. 245 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,960 We're trying to go all the way. This is just a little taste of 246 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,120 what it's going to be at the end. 247 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,920 All right, so #1 there's two ways to lead, right? 248 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,960 You can lead by your certainly by your actions, and you can 249 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,080 lead by your voice. Now, one thing about sport, it's 250 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,800 hard to lead with your voice when your production is not 251 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,760 there. And it's really hard to lead 252 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360 with your voice when you were emotionally inconsistent. 253 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,200 And that's this goes back to what I said about the kids. 254 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,360 Like, you know, they give it. Not, not. 255 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,880 I don't even know if a name pops into my mind, but there are a 256 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,600 lot of Major League players, right? 257 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,960 And I mean pro athletes at every sport by extension, where when 258 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,120 things are going well, yeah, rah, rah, rah. 259 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,760 Do the dance, do the handshakes, whatever they're doing, right? 260 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,560 And then when they go with a funk or they're not getting 261 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:01,160 playing time or whatever it might be, then the the the 262 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,880 energy which we and leadership, which was one once palpable and 263 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,880 very visible and infectious. OK, what then starts to happen? 264 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,640 Because they're so wrapped up in their own situation that there's 265 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,720 a radical shift in what they omit. 266 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880 All right. And that is, I mean that that's 267 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,200 it takes one ounce of St. sense to figure that out. 268 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,280 This dude, this dude's a fake. This dude's not a real leader. 269 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920 All right. So to me, anybody can say 270 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,560 something good when things are going well. 271 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,160 Anybody can give a state of the team when you've won eight of 272 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,880 nine and everybody's happy and the stadium's rocking and you're 273 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,040 in first place and things are good and everybody is espousing 274 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,480 the virtues of your team and social media is popping off 275 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,480 favorably and all the calls to the fan. 276 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,120 Mets are awesome. Mets look great. 277 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,120 What an offseason. Mets are going all the way. 278 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,320 That's easy. The hard thing to do is to 279 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,040 deviate from your character a little bit, which I do think 280 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,240 that Juan Soto did right there as he gave this, this early 281 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,240 assessment of, of where they are and, and maybe more specifically 282 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,920 where he believes they're going to go. 283 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,960 Now, I don't think that that's going to happen, but that's not 284 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,760 the point. This is not necessarily about 285 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000 the 30 games the Mets have played. 286 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,720 This is more about and, and 20 of which have been losses. 287 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,840 This is more about a guy who we all know is a great hitter, 288 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,720 average fielder, whatever, but a great hitter, you know, at 289 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,920 elite. It's so many different 290 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,160 categories. I, I, I think trying to break 291 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,360 out of a shell and, and project, you know, a, a voice that is 292 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600 sorely needed cuz you're not getting it from the manager, 293 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,000 that's for damn sure. I mean, I, I actually feel bad 294 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,200 for Carlos Mendoza. I really do. 295 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,840 I'm, I'm watching the press conference last night. 296 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,400 I think sports night started early actually, right? 297 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,960 So I'm watching it was obviously Gary Apple watching the end of 298 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,440 because the Yankees played during the day. 299 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,080 I'll get to Elmo Rodriguez, We'll do more Yankees in a bit. 300 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,000 Michael Kay coming up in about an hour and 15 minutes, right? 301 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,080 So we'll do a lot of Yankees then. 302 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,280 But I'm watching this and I'm like this, this pork. 303 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,400 What? What do you expect him to say? 304 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,440 What is he supposed to say that's going to satisfy you? 305 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,040 The thing that I find very interesting, and he said this 2 306 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,640 days ago, I think it was the day when he first revealed that 307 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,080 there was forearm tightness for Juan Soto. 308 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,320 All right, when he he basically said he has not spoken to David 309 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,400 Stearns or anybody within the organization. 310 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,320 To me that is, that is strange. Like I don't need to 311 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,120 characterize it any other way than straight. 312 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,040 What I mean, if I'm David Stearns or if I'm Steve Cohen, 313 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,200 I'm like, yo, let's you know, all right, I still believe in 314 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,720 you here, but we got to figure this shit out and I want to know 315 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,440 what's going on. Why are we losing every night 316 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,960 and why are we losing every night by multiple runs? 317 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,280 We can't score, we can't pitch, we can't run, we can't feel. 318 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,240 What the Hell's the deal, Skip? You know, we hired you because 319 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,960 we believe in you, but we're not going to run this out in 320 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,280 perpetuity. Like you got to figure this out. 321 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,920 So he was either lying to us, which I don't believe is the 322 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,440 case, or he really hasn't spoke to David Stearns, which is 323 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960 strange. So there doesn't seem to be much 324 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,720 leadership from the top down. Cohen hasn't tweeted in a while. 325 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,720 Cohen hasn't said much. And that's fine. 326 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,640 You know what? I I think sometimes that could 327 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,280 make it worse. Hold. 328 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,920 I got to blow my nose. J Rod, do me a favor. 329 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,320 Jump on camera for a second, will you? 330 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,560 What's up? What's up? 331 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:17,760 Sniffle. Hold. 332 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,000 On Hey unleash fam how's it going on this beautiful? 333 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,680 What is it Thursday? There we go. 334 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,640 Also wait. I want to test something out 335 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,880 here. Your couch, he said. 336 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,960 Put up a pole on the Mets making the playoff. 337 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,280 OK. I kind of want to test that out. 338 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,600 Go for it. Allow me all. 339 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,080 Right. Of course I'll listen, man. 340 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,880 Now listen. You know the rules, Anything 341 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,320 that goes wrong is always J Rod's fault, and anything that 342 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,360 goes right is always my, is always me. 343 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280 No, do it, man. Listen, we're still somewhat in 344 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,600 the experimental phase. We busted out the goals last 345 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,280 week, which we'll get to today as well. 346 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,080 Do you have the pole ready? You want to. 347 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,400 Sling Yeah, yeah, let me try that. 348 00:16:59,400 --> 00:16:59,760 Let's. Go. 349 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,120 I'm curious how it's going to look. 350 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,480 Is it going to at least look cool? 351 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,520 Like, I'm curious how this thing's going to look. 352 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,800 Here, all right. Will the Mets make the playoffs? 353 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,839 Now the answer is no, but I don't know if we need to poll 354 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:13,160 for that. But we we could do the 355 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,040 experiment anyway. Will the Mets make the playoffs? 356 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,760 I mean, will the Mets win more than 79 games? 357 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,960 All right, so it's time to up there, Yeah. 358 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,359 I mean. They they got to step that up. 359 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,400 They got to make these bigger. But yeah, they do. 360 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,079 Now. How do you vote on that do? 361 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,240 Do you vote on the chat on YouTube? 362 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,120 I think you tap yes or no. OK. 363 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,760 Well, let let me let me get my mouse here. 364 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,760 No, my mouse is over it and I don't see into either way. 365 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,240 Maybe we can figure that out. We can continue to experiment 366 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,160 with that, you know, maybe get it on the left side. 367 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,880 I don't want that getting in the way of my Emmy, you know? 368 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:45,800 There we go. We're going to make sure 369 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:51,080 everybody can see the hardware. All right, so now Juan Soto is 370 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,920 trying because nobody else is saying anything. 371 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,120 All right, so now I want to get to this right. 372 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,120 Everybody has talked about the relationship with Lindor and 373 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,040 Soto. And listen, do I believe that 374 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,360 they're best friends? No. 375 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,400 Do I believe that Lindor is a good leader? 376 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,880 No. I mean, we basically, it's been 377 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,360 four or five years, starting with the bias thing, with the 378 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:13,760 fans, with the fight in the tunnel, with the raccoon, with 379 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,640 McNeil. I mean, every year there's some 380 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,920 little flare up here and it's Lindor's team. 381 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,240 So when you are, you know, before Soto came here, the best 382 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,120 player on the team and there's constant questions about 383 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:28,320 leadership or chemistry or consistent play. 384 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,360 I mean, I I got to look at the best player who's making the 385 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:31,920 most money again before Soto came. 386 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,040 So so no, I don't think Lindor is a very good leader and he's 387 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,080 not going to be here cup for a couple of months, which is why I 388 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,160 think that Soto is really trying to push this forward. 389 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,120 Now that was the comments that we that we just hit on that was 390 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,600 after a win. Look at what he's you might have 391 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,720 to move the pole because I think as you get this quote, this 392 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,480 quote board up there. Yeah, maybe not how you figure 393 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,920 it out. Let's get this up there. 394 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,120 Oh, OK, very nicely done. It does fit. 395 00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:57,200 There you go symmetrical, some might say. 396 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,560 Now this is coming from a guy who everybody thinks does not 397 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,520 like Lindor. He's either the biggest phony in 398 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,720 the world or, you know, just short of that, he's taking one 399 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,760 for the team and really trying to be a leader. 400 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,520 Or maybe it's not nearly as bad as some people think it's been. 401 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,720 Quote. I think it's really tough seeing 402 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,680 a player like that, a true superstar like Francisco, who 403 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,480 impacts the game both defensively, offensively and 404 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,280 defensively. He's exactly the kind of talent 405 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760 any team would love to have in their lineup every single day. 406 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,040 It's unfortunate what happened to him, but we're all hoping and 407 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,840 praying for a full and speedy recovery and we'll be right here 408 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,600 waiting for him. End Quote, guys. 409 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,680 I know that you don't want to. You know, what can you get that? 410 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,400 I don't know if I like that. You know what if people are 411 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,440 voting on it, you could keep it up, but I don't know if I love 412 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,040 the way it looks. But we'll rock it. 413 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,880 We'll go. Then I can toss it down. 414 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,240 Whatever. Listen, whatever you want. 415 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,000 How many people have voted on it so far? 416 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,240 Do we have some action? Or no like 20 something. 417 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,480 Keep it up. We'll we'll let peace. 418 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,880 That's fine. I I don't know what else you 419 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,760 want from Juan Soto. You know, I, I think that. 420 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,360 This has been a a new step, a new stage for Juan Soto. 421 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,600 Like eventually guys, Lendor's going to be gone. 422 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,840 You know, last year he wasn't the same defensive player that 423 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,200 he was, you know, years prior. We know about the slow starts. 424 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,640 We know about Nimmo and Pete get now. 425 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,960 I'm not saying it's directly attributable to Lendor and their 426 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,680 relationship, but you know me connect some dots there. 427 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,920 They're not that hard to connect guys that you love. 428 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,800 They're gone. The Mets have played 30 times. 429 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,800 They've lost 20. Statistically, they are the most 430 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,320 inept team at all the baseball in multiple important offensive 431 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,720 categories. Again, Sean and I has become a 432 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,080 $25 million mop up man. Peterson stinks. 433 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,160 It's just awful. And he got 5 or 6 guys playing 434 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,000 out of position. You got Alvarez batting third. 435 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,000 They they went from like from Keith Hernandez, David Wright to 436 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,120 Melendez and Alvarez batting 3rd. 437 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:52,880 Just it's just a really sad demise what these Mets are and I 438 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,120 don't think it's going to get much better, but I do. 439 00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:59,160 I wanted to at least point down that the guy who who catching a 440 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,760 lot of shrapnel, granted, a lot of it's from Yankee fans because 441 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,840 they can't keep their mouth shut and they just kind of he got 442 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,000 always got to incorporate the Mets up, which, by the way, I'm 443 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,360 not necessarily mad at you because Mets fans were trying to 444 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,280 tap dance on the Yankee grave forever. 445 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,280 We got soda. We did this. 446 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,080 We're the new Kings. We own the city. 447 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:16,760 Yeah. OK, you 10 and 20, you own 448 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,600 nothing. You bet. 449 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,800 You barely own the deed to the stadium that you're playing at 450 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,200 that. And now they're banging 451 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,920 fireworks. You're down 14 to 2 and there's 452 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,880 fireworks in Queens. My God. 453 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:30,200 I mean, symbolic of something. Yeah, it's an implosion, that's 454 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,560 for sure. All right, now I want to get to 455 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,880 this as well, and it's a question. 456 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,040 Can somebody explain to me why nobody is banging on Bichette 457 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,880 more frequently? Why is Beau Bichette free of 458 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,360 criticism here? Like you've heard a couple? 459 00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:47,800 Hey, you know, Beau's got to get going. 460 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,640 Expected a little bit more from Beau. 461 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,080 No, no. It's got to be 3 levels past it 462 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,560 at this point. This weekend is the Kentucky 463 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,720 Derby. The Mets are another bad week or 464 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,760 two away, and I could sit here and say they're not going to be 465 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,200 a playoff team, which I really do not think that they will be 466 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,760 that. I don't think that they'll get 467 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,360 to 500, which I wouldn't bet on that. 468 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,800 I wouldn't bet on that either way, but if you ask me my 469 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,520 opinion, I, I think they'll fall short of that. 470 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,080 But I, I'm going to give him a little room because it is still 471 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,040 late April to figure things out. But it's not that early. 472 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,400 Like when your season's up in flames and the guy who you gave 473 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,120 40 plus $1,000,000 a year to come here and help help, you 474 00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:28,560 know, elevate things and save you after last year when he's 475 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,320 doing what he's doing, Beau Bichette cannot escape any 476 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,120 criticism. Beau Bichette's got to get his 477 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:38,160 head out of his ass because Beau Bichette has stunk so far. 478 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,960 Now you're talking, what about a guy? 479 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,120 It's not like Louise Robert coming from the White Sox, who 480 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,760 granted, a couple of years ago, he was pretty good. 481 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,000 He had a couple of decent years, but low average guy, high 482 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,160 strikeout total. That's not, that's not the 483 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,080 evaluation of a bichette. And that's not the player that 484 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,040 you got like Louise Robert. As I said, the story, the show's 485 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,240 probably going to go on the IL with that jacked up back, which 486 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,200 which is not good, not that it really matters. 487 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,160 He's not doing anything. And he had three good games to 488 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,320 start the year. And everybody's like, oh, what a 489 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,840 move, What a move. And now, you know, you're back 490 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,920 to basically Louise Robert being the the bad White Sox version of 491 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,160 Louise Robert injured and not productive. 492 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,760 But the point is Robert was born here. 493 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,120 You know, I remember constructing the Mets lineup 494 00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,840 over the week, over the over the winter. 495 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,600 And for me, optimally, I guess I could do it again if I remember 496 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,080 off the top of my head, but I know that I had Robert like in 497 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,320 the seventh spot, like bottom third of the order and let me 498 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,560 see I Lindor one. This was my line. 499 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,160 I'm not what I thought they would do, what I would do. 500 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,360 Lindor 1/2. I had both Lindor one, both 2. 501 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:49,840 I had Soto, obviously. 3/4 I had Polanco unconventional, 4 more 502 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:55,000 for contact, whatever and then like 5 I was into I think Beatty 503 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,960 certainly against righties and Beatty's been a dog. 504 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,960 He's just he has not been very good at all. 505 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,880 Another error last night at first base kicking things around 506 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,520 and and then like and then maybe like Alvarez 6 and Robert set 507 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,000 seven. I think I had bench 9th. 508 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,560 I knew he was going to make the team either way. 509 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,560 Robert was basically an ancillary piece on this team. 510 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,920 I mean, as long as he showed up and found this way to Port Saint 511 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,720 Lucie, he was going to be a better offensive player than 512 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,800 than Taylor last year, you know? And then he even played McNeil a 513 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,600 couple of games in center field. You can say, and again, I'm 514 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,360 pretty sure statistically irrefutable that the in terms of 515 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,240 OPS and power production that the Mets had the worst center 516 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,120 field situation in all the baseball. 517 00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,520 It was horrendous, right? So I thought it would be a big, 518 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,080 big upgrade. But the Mets season was not 519 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,360 hinged on Robert rediscovering what he was early in his White 520 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:44,600 Sox career. Beau Bouchette's arrival was. 521 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,160 So don't get it twisted. This guy's a 292 career hitter 522 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,400 and everything about Beau Bouchette and, and I've watched 523 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,560 him for years against the Yankees, not to mention playoff 524 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,320 games, etcetera, was his clutch value. 525 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,920 And now listen, I don't think he's necessarily A320 hitter, 526 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,720 which is what I think he hit a 310 last year. 527 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,800 I don't know if he's really that kind of guy, but I mean, Beau 528 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,400 Bouchette has a 236 average and that's only because he's gotten 529 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,960 a little hot in the last seven days. 530 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,880 He's got a 273. What is this? 531 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,680 Is this Anthony Volpe? He's got a 273 on base 532 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,840 percentage and his OPS is 598 and he's hitting 185 with 533 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,640 runners in scoring position. Where is the energy for Beau 534 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,280 Bouchet start as a New York Met? I'd like to know because I 535 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,520 don't. I'm not saying he's got a total 536 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,400 pass here, but he has been gliding here. 537 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,840 Now, I'm not saying he's not trying. 538 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,920 I'm not implying that at all. I'm sure inwardly he's grinding 539 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,600 and it's driving him nuts. He's from a baseball family. 540 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,360 He's been a grinder. I wanted the Yankees to get him, 541 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560 but you don't get it. But you're not absolved and you 542 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,640 don't get a pass here just because there's other components 543 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,400 of the team that are a mess. Like Sean Minai was thrown 87 544 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,280 mph in March. We all knew the dip in velocity, 545 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,240 the dip, the dip in the Sean Minai is dip in V low. 546 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,640 We all knew that that that was going to be an issue. 547 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,520 Now, some of you tried to marginalized it. 548 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,360 I'm like that's that's generally not a good sign. 549 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:11,320 But a guy's throwing 87 miles an hour and it's like 2026. 550 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,720 You know, you're not Jamie Moyer or Jimmy Key in the 90s. 551 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,000 I mean, it's 2026. Everybody throws 95. 552 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,640 He can't be throwing 87. Either way, you cut it. 553 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,360 He's not Manaya, you know, he's not even Peterson talking about 554 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,840 talking about Boba Shett. He's not Beatty or even Alvarez, 555 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,320 who was once the number one prospect and all the baseball 556 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,960 God, how much did they miss that? 557 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,120 Yikes. You're not Beatty or Mauricio or 558 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,080 Vientos. When we talk about, well, can 559 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,240 Vientos with this this offseason, maybe Vientos can 560 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,120 recapture what he was two years ago. 561 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,120 Like, those are all questions that, I mean, we're getting the 562 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:49,800 wrong answers to if you're a Mets fan, But they weren't 563 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,640 primary questions to what would determine the Mets season. 564 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,400 This Mets season was really going to be determined in large 565 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,840 part by the strength of their 1-2 and three hitters, Lindor, 566 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,440 Bichette and Soto. Whatever order you want, Lindor, 567 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,720 Soto, Bichette, if you want to flip two and three, you know 568 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,080 what I would do. But and then obviously the top 569 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,760 of the rotation, Peralta and McClain. 570 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,280 McClain, I love him. He's the Mets version of 571 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,320 Schlittler. And Peralta's been good, but 572 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,000 he's got to be better. He has been great, All right? 573 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,200 He's got to be better. And one thing we know about him 574 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,520 from Milwaukee, he does not go deep into games, which which is 575 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,480 the problem, right? Oh, yeah. 576 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,400 By the way, we don't even know where the help Devin Williams is 577 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,680 because the Mets can never get a safe situation. 578 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,720 So there are so many things wrong with the Mets, The 579 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,640 construction of the team, the managers awful. 580 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,160 You know, all these other guys that you were hoping would take 581 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,920 a step forward have not stable veterans, have taken a step 582 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,120 back, regressed like Peterson, like Manaya, But Beau Bouchet, 583 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:52,760 guys getting $40 million. Dude, can you have a week where 584 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,160 you hit 390, you know, with five double s and four home runs and 585 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,200 driving eleven runs and get the player of the week? 586 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,880 And I don't mean in July when the Mets are 20 games out, you 587 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,720 know, I mean now when there's still theoretically a season to 588 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,200 be had. What? 589 00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,600 And I know what Beltran did in year one. 590 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,960 I've sixteen home runs. But it's different. 591 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,040 It's different because Bouchette is not going to be here for very 592 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,040 long. Kind of parental with the opt 593 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,040 outs. And although if he keeps playing 594 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,280 like shit, you know anybody, why would you opt out? 595 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:28,360 No one's giving me that money. Point is, I see Juan Soto raking 596 00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:30,960 and I see Juan Soto taking out of, which is not a surprise. 597 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,720 And I see Juan Soto taking out a leadership position, which is a 598 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,160 little bit of a surprise, but a pleasant 1. 599 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,600 And I want to make sure I give him credit for that because you 600 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,000 know that Juan Soto is stepping out of his comfort zone a little 601 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,240 bit. Guys, think about this, right? 602 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000 And if you say that I'm overreacting to the positive 603 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,840 quotes, both of which one was about Lindor, what was about the 604 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,520 overall state of the team? Well, you can't have it both 605 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,520 ways. Because think about what we were 606 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,680 saying when Juan sort of returned from the from the IL 607 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,160 with the camp injury, when he missed 15 games when he was 608 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,200 asked, hey, have you had any contact with with, with you 609 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,960 guys? He's like, no, haven't. 610 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,280 And and I even found that odd. Like this is not 1973 where 611 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,720 Thurman's trying to call Reggie on a Rotary phone that you would 612 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,280 stick your finger in and by jam it so it could go faster if if 613 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,560 you're old enough, you know what I mean, text him. 614 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,920 So I found that odd. I did. 615 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,840 And I also thought that the body language, like it was almost, I, 616 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,680 I, I, you know, there's a moment where sometimes you say 617 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,760 something and you know, it didn't come out right or, you 618 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,400 know, it's not going to be received well. 619 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,800 And there's an immediate like quick recalibration in your 620 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,040 mind. Then you try to try to fix it 621 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,840 just a little bit. And I thought in the middle of 622 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,680 that, I, I thought my, I could be wrong. 623 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,600 I thought that he recognized that. 624 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,080 Then I thought it was good self-awareness. 625 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,360 Like maybe that didn't sound so great here. 626 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,240 And, you know, he kind of tried to reposition it. 627 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,520 And I don't know, maybe maybe this is just the next step of 628 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,240 him trying to make sure that there's no mixed messaging, that 629 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,040 he's going to be the leader, that he's going to try to will 630 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,280 this team out of the wilderness. But yo, Beau Bichette is 631 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,360 stealing money right now and I don't care. 632 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,640 Beau Bichette winds up with a 289 average, you know, and a 633 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,600 solid OPS and has a couple of good months. 634 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,800 And he wins the player of the month. 635 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,560 If you at some point during the summer, if you do it during the 636 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,000 stage of the season where you are this close, literally this 637 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,800 close to being written off and playing in front of 12,000 fans 638 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,240 on a daily basis, it doesn't mean anything. 639 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,720 You've got to produce now. You have to. 640 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,160 So that's where I'm at with the New York Mets. 641 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,680 It's just it's amazing. Like I was, my son had a rec 642 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,480 baseball game talk about. So last night there was actually 643 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,320 a rain delay in a rec baseball game. 644 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680 I'm like, come on, man. I mean, I love baseball as much 645 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,000 as anybody, but what are we doing? 646 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,360 And I'm not disparaging wreck Like I'm not one of those guys. 647 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,040 Oh, you know, Rex. No, no, I mean, it's it's a 648 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,560 chance for the kids who don't don't play, you know, maybe on a 649 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,640 on a higher level to feel good about themselves and learn the 650 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,120 game. And, you know, if they practice, 651 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,000 maybe they they do wind up playing at a higher level. 652 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,960 So I'm never going to disparage wreck ball, But I mean, I'm not 653 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,040 exactly in the business of sitting there during, you know, 654 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,360 wreck baseball games when I felt like I was watching a football 655 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,840 game or like November, like 50° and cold, wet rain. 656 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,440 What are we doing? Anyway, the point I say that 657 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,680 because I asked one of the coaches about my buddy, he's a 658 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,880 big Mets fan. And I'm like, what's the score? 659 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,080 And what are the Mets doing right? 660 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,320 Because I was, I was doing some other stuff and I, I, my phone 661 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,120 was in the car because I was going back and forth, but I 662 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,360 would just come out with my son was up. 663 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,800 I didn't want to get wet. So I'm back and forth, right. 664 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,320 And I left my phone in the car. I'm like, what's the Mets score? 665 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,760 And he goes 310? My God, when and he goes not 666 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,480 losing and then literally like a couple of minutes later he's 667 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,000 like 9-1. I'm like, what? 668 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,600 I'm like, Oh my God. So any energy from the previous 669 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,840 night when they won is obviously gone. 670 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,080 And I, I just don't, I'm going to read this in a SEC. 671 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,720 I just don't know. I know I'm throwing a lot of 672 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,480 different things at you today, but I just don't know how much 673 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:12,160 longer you can go without making a change at the managerial spot. 674 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,640 I don't know whether it's for the fans. 675 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,920 Like sometimes you have to do something even if you really 676 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,720 don't want to do it, but because it's the only, it's the last 677 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,880 resort. I mean, I mean, just say if the 678 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,840 Mets lose, you know, I, I don't know that they will, but say if 679 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,600 they lose 3 the next 4, right? You know, at that point you're 680 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,920 what, 11? I mean, you're 11 and 23. 681 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,280 You know, we're even 2 out of three. 682 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,440 You know, you're, you're 11 and 22, right? 683 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,640 So I don't know how much longer you could stretch this, stretch 684 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,360 this thing out without doing something that is is at least 685 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,400 like you only have so many chances to reverse this. 686 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,600 This is not Mets started hot. Mets looked awesome. 687 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,920 Mets have lost five straight. I don't like the way they look 688 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,000 now. But there was enough evidence at 689 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,360 the start of the season where, you know, the Mets will figure 690 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,640 this out, kind of like the Yankees. 691 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,520 Now, the Yankees aren't perfect, but the Yankees started well, 692 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,480 pits the hell out of it. Then they lost five straight 693 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,160 like the Mets. But then the Yankees have 694 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,880 basically won every single series since, you know, And 695 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,960 there was a reason why I wasn't going nuts through and I wasn't 696 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,720 loving it. You know, they weren't hitting. 697 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,640 McMahon was a mess. Nobody was hitting. 698 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,520 Jazz was still a mess at that point. 699 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,920 You know, Judge hadn't really turned on the power big time 700 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,600 yet. Wells was doing nothing. 701 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,040 Grisham was doing nothing. Like there were there were some 702 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,080 issues, but I'm like, starting pitching is going to be 703 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,320 phenomenal. Ben Light, Rice looks great. 704 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,400 Nobody's running away with the American League East. 705 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,360 Yankees pitching is awesome. There's a track record with 706 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,360 Aaron Boone in this team. Judge is going to probably win 707 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,280 the MVP again or finish top two or three. 708 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,640 He'll get cranking out to. So like there's no feel, no 709 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,200 frustration. This Mets group hasn't earned 710 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,480 the benefit of the doubt. Like where can, what can you 711 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:56,360 look at with this Mets team and definitively say, I believe it's 712 00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:01,440 going to get X amount better, which will in turn really alter 713 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,680 the course and trajectory of their season? 714 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,360 Well, the one spot would have been Juan Soto, who missed 15 715 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,280 games but mean less. Juan Soto was great again last 716 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,840 night. They lost 14 to 2. 717 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,320 I mean, they gave up two touchdowns then and they had a 718 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,159 safety late. I mean, so it's not that. 719 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,080 I mean, you you can you can certainly hope guys start 720 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,000 playing better, but there's no evidence in the young guys, 721 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,639 which is why I brought that up earlier, that they're going to 722 00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:27,520 elevate their play and sustain it. 723 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,920 I don't mean for a week or so, you know, but all these 724 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,560 Mauricio's up, all right. I mean, I keep hearing about 725 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,360 Mauricio. I know he's got tools. 726 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,280 I know he's got a quick back when he hits a home run, it 727 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,679 seems to go a long way, but I don't think he can hit a 728 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:40,960 curveball and I when you can't hit a curveball, you're just not 729 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,440 going to be an effective Major League hitter. 730 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,040 That's my opinion on Mauricio. I don't think he's very good on 731 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,719 the bases. You know, Beatty is what he is, 732 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,440 Viantos is what he is. Can't run, can't field, no 733 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,760 position, doesn't even hit home runs anymore. 734 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,840 So that's an unrealistic ask. I think the things that you can 735 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,320 lean on, and it's a short list here, Soto carrying this team, 736 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,800 but it's really hard to carry a baseball team. 737 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,000 It's not like Brunson cranking out 39 or or Cat doing what he 738 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,520 did the night before the game before the triple double 739 00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:13,120 baseball. Different is different as we 740 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,000 know. But maybe Soto can maybe Soto 741 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,200 can carry them. You have to hope that Peralta 742 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,960 has, you know, 15 to 20% more in the tank and really does. 743 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,520 Oh, I got to sneeze here. Excuse me? 744 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,640 You see that? You see that quick I I did quick 745 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,200 catch. Was that you? 746 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,240 Yeah. Yeah. 747 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:35,560 Nice dude. Look at you. 748 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,800 I don't know if I sneezed like, too loudly into the mic that it 749 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,240 just jolted it. No, no. 750 00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,440 I. I got I got like the millisecond 751 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,960 all audio that's. So like if I've got a snot 752 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,840 hanging, you could just, you know, hit that black button and 753 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,400 say hey, get, you know, blow your nose or something. 754 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,520 I like it. I didn't know about that. 755 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,640 Very good. You got a whole Peralta's got a 756 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,280 little more in the tank here and and, you know, really resembles 757 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,560 a tree. He's been fine. 758 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,120 But, you know, I mean a true, true A and then you go, you 759 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,600 know, 40% of the time back-to-back Perolta and 760 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,200 McClain. And then if and when you ever 761 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,320 get some real leads to hand over to the closer you got to hope 762 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,000 that Devin Williams is going to get the job done. 763 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,640 Oh my God. All right, Charlie, F6675 764 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,400 Cohen's Cohen's got to grow a sack here. 765 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,560 Step up and sign Cora. If Stearns is scared as well, 766 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,040 give him whatever he wants. Coors got the respect of the 767 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,800 players and the resume. Yeah, right now the there was a 768 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,840 term that we used to say on the old show, the sacometer, I mean 769 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,520 the sacometer for the Mets right now is, is, is a 0. 770 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,400 I mean, you're not seeing much sack at this point. 771 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,240 I I do agree. I feel like, you know, if an end 772 00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:44,440 listen, if this continues for another week or so, there is no 773 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,480 way that they can just keep running Mendoza out there 774 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,760 because the optics are just unacceptable and they're 775 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:56,120 detrimental to the brand. I mean, if anything, right, like 776 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,320 it might not change the bottom line this season, but it would 777 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,920 at least be an infusion of positivity and hope. 778 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,440 I mean, right now again, and I, I, I say this sincerely, I'm, 779 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,840 I'm not, I'm not messing around when I say like I, I watched 780 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,480 Carlos Mendoza at these post game press conferences, man, I 781 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,120 feel for the guy I like. What what are you going to say? 782 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,240 I mean, if I was Carlos Mendoza, what I'd really like to say is 783 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,480 what I'd really like to say, OK, I did this with Boone a couple 784 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,760 of weeks ago, right? So, J Rod, do me a favor. 785 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,120 I want you to play the I like you play the you play the role 786 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,080 of reporter and ask me, you know, you know, hey, skip, in 787 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,640 your own terms, like what's wrong with the team? 788 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,160 Why do you guys look so bad? Go ahead. 789 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,920 Something like that. Hey, Skip Mendoza, you know, 790 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,800 season's clearly not gone off to the start you wanted, you know, 791 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,080 what do you think's the problem here? 792 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,240 What do you think's the impetus of these issues? 793 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,600 Oh, the impetus. What? 794 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,440 What do I, What do I think the impetus is? 795 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,280 What do I think the problem is? I think the better question 796 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,760 would have been what's the solution? 797 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,400 Because that would be much quicker because you think you'd 798 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,080 win with this team. Does anybody in this room, 799 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,440 anybody in this room think that you would come out and win with 800 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,960 this team? Polanco's hurt. 801 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,360 The center field that we brought in hurt, Shortstop hurt. 802 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:17,160 Soto missed 15 games, was hurt. Manaya stinks, and my dopey GM 803 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,320 gave him $25 million a year for some stupid reason. 804 00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:24,480 All right, we rolled the dice on Devin Williams, and he's been 805 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,280 asked so far. You know, when I came here and I 806 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:33,120 took the job, all I heard about was this great vaunted Mets farm 807 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,560 system that we had here, and I was really excited to be a part 808 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,680 of it. Mauricio can play 80 stinks. 809 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,240 Vientos is worse. Alvarez is probably 30 lbs 810 00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:43,280 overweight. He's a mess. 811 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,680 He stinks. So what would you do with this? 812 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,520 I want you to answer that, Joe. What would you do? 813 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,040 What would you do different, Joe? 814 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,920 You know, I'd and then exactly Joe, I have nothing. 815 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,800 I have nothing. You have nothing, Joe, because 816 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,080 there is no answer. Because my general manager gave 817 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,040 me a shit sandwich and I'm supposed to present it as a nice 818 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,320 roast beef and looks at that with some roasted red Peppers, a 819 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,920 little little little drizzle, oil and vinegar. 820 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,080 I mean it. This, this is it. 821 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,680 You want to eat this. You guys want to coach this, You 822 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,040 guys want to manage this team. Honestly, we got five guys out 823 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,880 of position. Oh, change, change the line up. 824 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,200 How what? Who should I bat first? 825 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,600 Alvarez, What do you want me to do then? 826 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,880 The guy that we gave $42 million to, you know, stinks. 827 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,720 Sink 236. So I understand I'm a big boy 828 00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,480 and I've been around the game for a long time, been around the 829 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,960 game a long time. I love this game, all right, and 830 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:42,080 I love the Mets, I really do. But I understand how it's going 831 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,880 to work. The first one to go, it's going 832 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,960 to be me. Because if it was easy to change 833 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,840 the roster, half of those scrubs would have been shipped out 834 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,880 already, all right? And I'm tired of defending them. 835 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,360 And I'm tired of lying for him. Because I come out here every 836 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,360 night when we get our face kicked in and I go back into 837 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,280 that clubhouse and I see a bunch of guys who are not good enough 838 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,960 to win anything of significance. So there it is. 839 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,800 Maybe that's a little too honest, New York. 840 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,280 Maybe that's a little too raw, But I'm sick of being the guy 841 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,720 who's the scapegoat. All right now, maybe I'm not 842 00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,040 Davey Johnson, maybe I'm not Billy Martin, maybe I'm not even 843 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,720 my buddy Aaron Boone across town. 844 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,240 But I know I'm a whole hell of a lot better than this. 845 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,880 But you got to give me some horses to run the race. 846 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,960 The Derby's coming up on Saturday. 847 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,840 You think of Poodle, you think a little Chihuahua would win the 848 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,920 Derby. Give me somebody that can 849 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,720 gallop. Give me somebody that can move. 850 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,160 Give me a chance. So if Cohen wants to get rid of 851 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,040 me, go for it, because quite frankly, I'm tired of this shit. 852 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,480 Then you walk away. Fire. 853 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,080 You know what? Fire yourself. 854 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,840 Go do it. Fire yourself. 855 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,880 Just quit. Just just be like, I've had 856 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,520 enough. Oh man, that. 857 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:57,960 Was great. Jeez. 858 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,600 I mean, I don't know. I do feel badly for him now. 859 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:01,760 I don't think he's a good manager. 860 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,640 I've said that many times. But you know, I'm not trying to 861 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,680 take shots of the guy when he's down. 862 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,880 I don't think he's a good manager, but I also know his 863 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,120 team stinks. Juan Soto's overpaid bad 864 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,200 clubhouse guy. I got my Red Sox hat on today. 865 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,360 No, you don't. Come on, dude, don't start with 866 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,280 that. Maybe we need Rudy to take a 867 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,120 picture with Mr. Come on. What shit? 868 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:24,040 The the opposite political spectrum there. 869 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,640 Keep it up. You're great. 870 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:26,600 Thank you very much. Yeah. 871 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,120 I mean, I I get the jokes here, but oh, my God, do I remember? 872 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,400 Do I remember? I do. 873 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,040 God, I do remember the butt cheeks guy. 874 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:37,840 Vaguely. I do. 875 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,520 I don't know if you ever got me. I know there's some dude who 876 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:41,840 call, what's his name? Buchanan. 877 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:42,840 Buchanan. Like that guy. 878 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,040 Is that you, too? I do remember that. 879 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,080 From 10:50. Yeah. 880 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaking of 1050 now 880, obviously. 881 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,560 Michael Kay. My buddy Michael's going to be 882 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:56,240 on the show in about one hour. Hey, by the way, pop this up. 883 00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:57,360 Right. I'm going to show this to Kia. 884 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,800 Has not seen this. Pop up. 885 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,920 This is at Michael's wedding. Pop up this picture. 886 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,160 You got it ready. We'll do it For look at this. 887 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,560 If I told you how many scotches I had at that point that that 888 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,240 was Michael's wedding. And that was what year did he 889 00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:11,920 get married? 20. 890 00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:16,560 Let's see, when did I leave? ESPNI think I left in 2011. 891 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,400 Yeah, I left in 2011. I'm pretty sure he got married 892 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,360 in February of 2011. And what I tell you outside of 893 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,520 my wedding, which was on the beach it in Boca Raton, which 894 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,680 was phenomenal, that was by far the best wedding I've ever been 895 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,760 to. I mean, hammering back shots 896 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,720 with David Cone, talking to Willie Randolph's wife. 897 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,520 I mean, it was, I mean, it was just crazy. 898 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,960 Daryl was there, Mazzilli was there, it was great. 899 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,920 John Sterling was there. That was a long time ago. 900 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,480 My God. So looking forward to getting 901 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,280 Michael on. All right, let me get a little 902 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,600 Yankee stuff up here. Independent of the conversation 903 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,880 I'm going to have with Michael, though, I will run this by him, 904 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,240 get to some mixed up as well. Last time it was a big night in 905 00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:59,280 the NBA, not just for the Knicks tonight, but I want to hit some 906 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:04,080 national stuff as well. Can you get the tweet that? 907 00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:05,360 Yeah, there you go. Thank you very much. 908 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,760 Now, we've talked about this year, guys, and one of the 909 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,320 things that I've said is this Yankees rotation is going to be 910 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,920 the best in baseball when it's what is fully healthy and whole. 911 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,080 And we're getting there. You know, yesterday, Cole, 5 2/3 912 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,720 gave up a couple of the home runs, whatever. 913 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,840 But you're looking at below, you're looking at health, you're 914 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,400 looking at location, you're looking at secondary stuff. 915 00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:26,640 So the Yankee Report, I guess Jack said this on TV the other 916 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,760 night. You can keep it up, Jay. 917 00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,320 I did not see it, but we, we've thrown this around. 918 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,480 So first of all, when Jack Curry tells you something, whether 919 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,080 it's like the Hot Stove Show about their interest in a player 920 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,480 or something like this, believe it #1 Jack Curry is a great 921 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:43,880 reporter. He's so good. 922 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,640 And let's face it, I mean, he's on the guest network and he's 923 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,520 got great reporting chops. So, you know, he's getting fed 924 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,760 this directly from the Yankees on some level. 925 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,120 So Jack says that if all goes well, no order, you're going to 926 00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:00,760 see Freed Schlittler, Cole Rodan Warren, Elma Rodriguez and 927 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,920 Weathers would go to the pen. And yeah, I agree with that. 928 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,720 When Jack speaks, listen, the Yankee report of those guys do a 929 00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:09,160 nice job now when I talk to but you can get it down there, Jake. 930 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,720 When I talked about this, my only question was is it going to 931 00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:16,280 be Weathers or what? I mean, it's really the only 932 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,800 question you because obviously fried Schlittler, Coleman, Rodon 933 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,920 would be starters. So what would happen at the five 934 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,240 spot? And this I even started this 935 00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:26,360 conversation when Louise he was coming off a good game before he 936 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,520 got banished to the minors. And I don't I don't really think 937 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,240 we get much from Louis seal the rest of the year at all. 938 00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:32,560 I'm just I'm very down on him. I just don't I don't trust him 939 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,200 anymore. So Louis seal to me is not even 940 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,240 a viable bullpen arm right now. So it's it's going to come down 941 00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:41,240 to Warren and weathers. That's the only thing to debate. 942 00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:46,120 So when you look at this, and I said this, I I love weathers his 943 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,840 high end stuff, even though will Warren has has good stuff too. 944 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,520 Weathers, his stuff is better all right. 945 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,840 And because he's a little wild, I don't know if I love him 946 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,560 coming out of the bullpen, You know, even though he's kind of 947 00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,560 harnessing that now he's been a little bit more a lot more 948 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,920 consistent. He's thrown some gems, but you 949 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,600 never know when that that inconsistency can rear its ugly 950 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,720 head and he just has a rough time hit the strike zone. 951 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:14,320 So I I thought that Weathers would be a better option to stay 952 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,000 as a starter and will Warren probably the better option going 953 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,000 to the pen. I did go back and forth. 954 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,680 I wasn't really definitive because I was still evaluating. 955 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,040 But the other thing that I did say, which is why I ultimately 956 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:32,560 kind of leaned on Warren staying in the rotation, is that I don't 957 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,280 know that you want 3 lefties in your rotation when 65% of the 958 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,040 hitters in Major League Baseball are right-handed. 959 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,640 Obviously, you know, you prefer more righty, righty matchups, 960 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,120 slider stuff going away from them rather than lefties coming 961 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,680 in. And if you leave something over 962 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,200 the plate, you know, you're gonna really, you're gonna do 963 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,400 some damage. So that doesn't surprise me, but 964 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,040 I did think that that was very interesting. 965 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,520 Elmo Rodriguez, you can tell he was, you know, he was a little 966 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,600 bit nervous. The couldn't find the strike 967 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,040 zone early. They challenge. 968 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,720 I still don't know what what what the confusion was at second 969 00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:03,720 base. They challenged. 970 00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:06,080 That was a big play. They challenged the strike, 971 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,320 right, which was strike three. Nimmo was on the move. 972 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,840 He kind of stopped running, which is odd because Brandon 973 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,120 Nimble sprints down the first pace after a walk. 974 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,720 I don't know why he was jogging a second base on a steal. 975 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,440 That was very, very unbranded Nimmo like, but the Yankees 976 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,480 challenged it. Wells did correctly. 977 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,040 I was that a scar either either way, it was I think was a scar. 978 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,080 It was challenged right and it was the right one. 979 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,920 And then boom, boom, double play gets out of it. 980 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,440 You, you know, and and he was you. 981 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,040 You could tell why he's going to be tough to hit now. 982 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,080 How good is he? I don't know. 983 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,560 I mean, I've got to see a lot more. 984 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,760 His minor league numbers are filthy. 985 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,760 He's got 5 or 6 pitches. He's got a deep bag. 986 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,240 He's got a sinker that he throws hard. 987 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,480 He's got a four seamer that he could get up to 9798 when he has 988 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:51,520 to. So he's got that juice. 989 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,680 Well, I think, and they were talking about this during the 990 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,760 game, Coney his his wind up. It's kind of a slingshot and 991 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,480 it's coming more like like this rather than more up here, more 992 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,680 conventionally. And it's A and it's on you 993 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,480 quicker because he kind of conceals the ball. 994 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,200 So I think that that plays into why he's going to be a tough 995 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,960 out. That's a guy that I can see 996 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,400 coming out of the bullpen and, you know, getting some some 997 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,000 bigger outs and then you throw Clark Schmidt on the board as 998 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,760 well. And eventually who's probably, 999 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,640 I'd say at least two months behind, certainly Rodan who will 1000 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,840 come back before Cole and then Cole will who will come back 1001 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,600 before Clark Schmidt. But there's just so many 1002 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,520 different things to like about this New York Yankee team, even 1003 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,840 though they lost yesterday. Whatever. 1004 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,840 I mean, obviously at at Gerndog 9 O1. 1005 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,160 What do you think of the Jason injury? 1006 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,480 Yeah. Would you call up Spencer Jones 1007 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:47,600 if Jason goes to the ILII? Just you know, these are based 1008 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,640 on conversations I've had with the Yankees. 1009 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,160 I just I'm just telling you what I know. 1010 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,840 They they do not believe that Spencer Jones will be able to 1011 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,400 make enough contact at this level. 1012 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,320 They just don't. And I've heard that for two 1013 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,400 years, and there's nothing that he's done in the minors that has 1014 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,880 disproved that. Like when you've got AI, don't 1015 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,200 know what it is now, but it's very high when you've got 1016 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,160 consistently 35% strikeout rate in the minors. 1017 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,040 I mean, just conventional thinking, it's not going to get 1018 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,080 better. It's going to get worse because 1019 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:15,720 the pitching is a whole hell of a lot better. 1020 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:21,040 So I do think he's a much better defensive option in center field 1021 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,880 than Jason Dominguez, who is a wretched left fielder. 1022 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,800 But, you know, I mean, not not, not not really good timing for 1023 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,360 Dominguez here with Stanton going on the IL And the Yankees 1024 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,560 ran him out there a couple days in a row, played, you know, 1025 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,240 played the field a little bit, got some at bats against a bunch 1026 00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:36,560 of righties starting with lighter. 1027 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,560 That first game. The Yankees just never hit of 1028 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,160 ALDI. It's actually very frustrating 1029 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,120 at this point. I think I saw something this 1030 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:48,920 morning of the 20 this, now that I think about it, if this is 1031 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,760 true, like I don't think I read this wrong. 1032 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,440 It was fast. The Yankees in 23 starts against 1033 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,160 Nathan Ivaldi, they've scored three runs or less now. 1034 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,160 I mean, he's been around for 15 years. 1035 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,560 So I mean, 15 starts is and he's been on a lot of American League 1036 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,800 East team. So that measures up and they 1037 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,920 never hit him. So I guess that part measures 1038 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:09,960 up. So maybe it's true. 1039 00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:12,680 That's crazy. That is absolutely think about 1040 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,280 that 23 times your face. I mean, it's like it's Pedro. 1041 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,560 I know he's got good stuff, but they just never solve him. 1042 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,600 It's crazy. So you can tell the kid was a 1043 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:28,280 little bit nervous last night or yesterday, but I I'm I'm 1044 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,120 intrigued to see his next start. I think they were fairly Boone 1045 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,440 was fairly non committalist in terms of when he will get one or 1046 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,600 if he will, but I'd be stunned if they don't run him back out 1047 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,200 there, they're not going to call heel up to start. 1048 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,680 Rodriguez gets another one, all right, the the pinstripe bugle, 1049 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,640 they do a good job. Follow him on Twitter as well. 1050 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,800 They do a lot of good work there. 1051 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,840 What do you make of the way Boone's making the lineups this 1052 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,160 season, the way the team is making roster moves more 1053 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,320 aggressive than years past? It's a great point. 1054 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:53,680 And I actually tweeted about this. 1055 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,440 Thank you, man, the other day, right. 1056 00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:00,760 So to me, one of my biggest gripes about the Yankees, aside 1057 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,520 from, you know, when I said a couple of years ago, the whole 1058 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,880 Brian Cashman thing is not earn the right in terms of roster 1059 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,200 construction to rebuild this team. 1060 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,120 The way the Yankees need to be rebuilt is that there was too 1061 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,120 much tolerance. And this is also on Boone for 1062 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,920 mistakes, OK, Whether it's Jazz in space, you know, whether it 1063 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,560 was Josh Donaldson pimping home runs that weren't home runs and 1064 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,200 then not make it at the second or getting thrown out of second, 1065 00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:30,600 Aaron Hicks running him out there. 1066 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,320 Like I think the Yankees have given their players too much 1067 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,840 room, even Volpe for sure last year, right, to figure things 1068 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,720 out. Like, I'd like to see a little 1069 00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:44,840 bit more of a repercussion when there's an like an extended 1070 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,720 amount of bad play. And I don't just mean I'm not. 1071 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:52,080 So let's differentiate between like a baseball slump and like a 1072 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,440 mental slump, you know, being asleep on the bases. 1073 00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:58,000 You know, we've seen it with Jazz in in I guess that was in 1074 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,000 was that in Tampa where, you know, the pop? 1075 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000 And he then he said he would have done it again, like, and 1076 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,280 then not knowing how many outs there were and then, you know, 1077 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,040 fixing his his his sliding MIT like Lindor getting picked off 1078 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,440 like those are blowing a bubble in the World Series. 1079 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,800 Like I just I can't I just can't with that stuff. 1080 00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:17,440 If I was managing the Yankees, his ass would have been on the 1081 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,800 bench. Same with Donaldson, same with 1082 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,480 Hicks and same with some of these other guys. 1083 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:26,960 But what you are seeing now, and this is exciting, it does seem 1084 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,480 like they're operating with a different level of urgency, 1085 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:34,720 which is why I'm fully confident that if Anthony Volpe, whenever 1086 00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:37,800 he's called up, that's something that is not an easy navigation 1087 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,840 because Caballero's playing well, whatever. 1088 00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:42,360 But they're not just going to run him out there. 1089 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,520 Oh, he's 2 for 26 with 13 whiffs. 1090 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,240 Well, we draft them in the first round. 1091 00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:47,240 He's our guy. Go get him. 1092 00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:49,600 Hope he's going to be sitting all right or he's going to stay 1093 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,760 in the minors. If if I don't know what's going 1094 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,440 to happen, but it's not going to, it's not going to mirror 1095 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,720 what's happened so far as as a Yankee for him. 1096 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,680 Louis Hill the other day didn't have it. 1097 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,800 Get out. See ya shipping you down. 1098 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,600 And even some unconventional moves that I think some of you 1099 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,120 thought they would never do based on the analytics, like 1100 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,200 sitting McMahon early against the righty even though he's a 1101 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,480 lefty, playing Rosario against the righty, even though he 1102 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,120 bashes the lefties and basically struggles against righties. 1103 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,480 You know, all right, Dominguez. Now, I thought Dominguez should 1104 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,840 have made the team out of spring training and I've given you 1105 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:31,760 reasons why, but he was too deficient defensively and in 1106 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,880 their eyes it was unacceptable. So you're in the minors, you got 1107 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,320 to catch the ball man. And and I like that. 1108 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,760 In big picture, I would agree. It does seem as if they are 1109 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:47,400 moving with more urgency and that's why even in the even some 1110 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,880 of the lineup stuff, you know, now you got to get Grisham out 1111 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,000 of the one hole. I just can't watch this anymore. 1112 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:54,880 Well, I got to find something that we did yesterday. 1113 00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:58,640 Enough, enough, man. Like to me, the Yankees are a 1114 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,040 lead off hitter away. And you know, whether it's going 1115 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,040 to be Quan from the Guardians, who the heck knows who it might 1116 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,080 be? But that they could ever really, 1117 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,200 and I don't mean now, but if the Yankees can swing a move for a 1118 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,800 legitimate lead off hitter, I mean, you, you just start, you 1119 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,240 start to look at their lineup. But it's like, all right, 1120 00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:20,560 legitimate lead off hitter 1 Ben Rice 2 Aaron Judge three belly, 1121 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,760 4 Stanton, what he's whatever. And then obviously Stanton's 1122 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,040 always wild card because of the injuries. 1123 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,880 But then you can kind of plug things in from there. 1124 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,400 And you know, if if you had a speed on base, guy at the top, 1125 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,480 more contact rate, etcetera. Well, now Ben Rice gets more 1126 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,840 fast balls and Ben Rice mashes. And then because Ben Rice is 1127 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,080 mashing, there's guys on base, which means you can't pitch 1128 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,920 around Aaron Judge, which means Aaron Judge will mash because he 1129 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,680 matches no matter what. And then obviously sick like, 1130 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,080 you know, and it's terms of a cyclical downstream residual 1131 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,120 impact favorably for the Yankees, you know, hey, by the 1132 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,320 way, and we're still working on the digital store here. 1133 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:55,720 It's taking longer than I thought. 1134 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,080 How about did I show you this? I think I showed. 1135 00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,920 You that one maybe a couple times before, yeah. 1136 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:01,280 I did right? We need. 1137 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:02,520 I need that. I need. 1138 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:03,960 I need that. I got to get you one. 1139 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,240 You're right. All right, So I was just looking 1140 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,640 for the tweet. So with Grisham, all right, 69 1141 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,600 of 89 of Grisham's at bats this year have been from the lead off 1142 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,480 spot. So basically, you know, 8080% of 1143 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:21,120 them, he's hitting 130 all right, with a 520 OPS from the 1144 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:26,080 lead off spot, 89 at bats for the year, 69 lead off man bat in 1145 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:30,160 $1.30 OPS under 600. You know, and I know it's it's 1146 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:35,120 still early and I know he was good last year, but let you know 1147 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,520 very good with certain OPS of 81134 bombs. 1148 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,680 You know, I mean, he was good, you know, even though I didn't 1149 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,000 want him back, he he was good. So you at least have to respect 1150 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,800 that less. But but it's the outlier. 1151 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,920 Think about all the other seasons prior. 1152 00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:50,960 So that's why I didn't I didn't want him back because I thought 1153 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,680 that they were paying for something that was not 1154 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,560 necessarily real. Now it's not $50 million, it's 1155 00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,080 22 QO, but, you know, there were other things that I thought that 1156 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,800 they could have done, which I because of the qualifying offer, 1157 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,800 which was accepted by by Grisham. 1158 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:10,160 Unfortunately, I I think that that to what extent, I don't 1159 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,200 know, but I think on some level of prevented them from doing 1160 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,080 some other things that would have made them more whole, you 1161 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,840 know, and it's not me hating on Grisham. 1162 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,440 And I told you, Boone can't stand when I talk about this is 1163 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,880 the lead off man. He's not a lead off man, dude. 1164 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,280 I'm talking to my boy Boone. It's not. 1165 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:31,160 I mean, if, if I was, if I see. To me Trent Grisham is a six 1166 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:35,200 hitter on a good team, like a good team. 1167 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:40,760 He is A7 hitter. We're 7 through 9 on a World 1168 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,920 Series team. Where do you think Trent Grisham 1169 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,280 would hit on the Dodgers? Anybody want to answer that 1170 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:46,520 promise? It's not first. 1171 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:52,320 It's not second, not third, not 4th, not fifth, maybe 6, 1172 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:58,600 probably 7th World Series team, you know, So J Rod. 1173 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,040 Yes, Sir, give. Me. 1174 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,000 A word describing your energy for your Celtics tonight. 1175 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,600 Excited. Nervous. 1176 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,040 It's not excited the words, not excited the word. 1177 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,400 What is it? It's like, listen, you know, 1178 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,160 something's just got to get done. 1179 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,560 I don't know what that is. I don't know what feeling that 1180 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:18,760 is. It's not a feeling of 1181 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,640 excitement. It's not necessarily a feeling 1182 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,160 of terror. It's more so a feeling of 1183 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,600 rolling your sleeves up and just going, let's get to work. 1184 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,440 Let's get these dishes done. Almost like the like, I don't 1185 00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,120 want to do it, but we got to do it. 1186 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:37,000 Like, you know, I don't think this is going to be some blow 1187 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,960 out victory by the Celtics, as much as I'd like to see that 1188 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,600 and, you know, coast through a game game with some ES. 1189 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,080 No, I think this is going to be somewhat of a battle between 1190 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,360 them and MB tonight. Now, now, do you think that 1191 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,280 that's just because of the match up or because of what you've 1192 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,160 seen so far and you've seen some inconsistencies from Boston and 1193 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,040 you're reluctant to stamp them? Hey, I feel really good. 1194 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,320 Yeah, exactly. I mean, Nemus Cada has had at 1195 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,880 least three fouls in every single playoff game this far 1196 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,280 this year and has had four for most of them. 1197 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,320 For four of them, he's had four and five for two of them. 1198 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,960 So he's literally your best defensive center is unable to 1199 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,680 stay on the basketball court. What are you going to do not 1200 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,400 only for Embiid, but once Cat comes to down, what are you 1201 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,800 going to do? That's your problem, man. 1202 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,120 You guys got to figure that out you. 1203 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,680 Know like, yeah, so honestly, I'm not feeling. 1204 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,200 I think we'll win tonight, but I'm not feeling great. 1205 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:35,160 I'm not feeling. Great. 1206 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,800 All right, All right. I think that's probably pretty 1207 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,880 fair Before I do a little Knicks stuff here, Les, that was a good 1208 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,720 night in the NBA. So the really all three games 1209 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,080 were good. You think about the Pistons, you 1210 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,280 think about the the Rockets, who made that a series now with two 1211 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,280 straight, you think about the Cavs. 1212 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,480 And you know when you dive into these games and I was watching a 1213 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,600 little bit, I didn't, I didn't watch the Rockets Lakers. 1214 00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,200 I was watching some of the first two games. 1215 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:05,440 So the Pistons win and and they had to and Orlando still up 32. 1216 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,720 So that's probably going 7. Kade Cunningham. 1217 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,960 We talked about Kade before last night. 1218 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:14,080 He had 24 turnovers in the three games prior total, which was the 1219 00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:18,680 highest playoff turnover, whatever stat were, or most 1220 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,040 turnovers in three games in the playoffs since they started 1221 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,640 recording turnovers as a stat in 7879. 1222 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,800 Very. I had a couple more last night. 1223 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,400 But he also dropped 45. He was 14 for 14 from the stripe 1224 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,040 and was five of eight from three. 1225 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,280 So Kate Cunningham was great. Nice job by the Pistons. 1226 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,720 The Cavaliers, I mean, they were losing this game. 1227 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,720 Like everyone I'm I'm watching, I'm I'm at the field. 1228 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,000 What, you know, watching my son's game, I come back, yeah, I 1229 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,960 didn't really watch much of the Mets because it was such a 1230 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,360 route. But as I'm bouncing around doing 1231 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,840 stuff, I'm like, oh, shit, this is I got to I got to jump on 1232 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,200 this game. That's what I that's what I jump 1233 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,240 in. And the Cavaliers outscored on 1234 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,360 2517 in the fourth quarter. Their defense was very good. 1235 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,840 So now Cleveland, that's a coin flip here. 1236 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,960 The Raptors have been far more feisty than I thought they would 1237 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:01,320 be. Member. 1238 00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,120 Everybody was saying that was to think the Cavs are soft, right. 1239 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,040 I think it's probably more a referendum on the Cavs than some 1240 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,000 elevation of the Raptors. But Cleveland's up 32. 1241 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,080 I go to RJ Barrett, played very well. 1242 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,600 Give him some props there. And then the Lakers, now we all 1243 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,040 know they jumped out to a three O lead. the Rockets come back, 1244 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:21,320 They've won two straight. Durant is out for Game 6. 1245 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,520 Reeves will be back for the Lakers. 1246 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,320 The Lakers were up three. O yeah. 1247 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,280 Could you imagine? I mean, you'd love it, you would 1248 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:30,480 love it. You would love. 1249 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,640 Jordan wouldn't do that. Kareem wouldn't do that. 1250 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,400 Kobe. Will do that magic. 1251 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,920 Wouldn't do that. That would be a an oil 1252 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,040 impossible to get out stain. You couldn't get that out with 1253 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:49,280 Mr. Clean or downy or any brawny any of those any of those stain 1254 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,080 removers. If he blew a three O lead, it 1255 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,560 would be over. Oh my gosh. 1256 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,760 Oh man, that would be the final nail in his goat coffin, that is 1257 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,280 for sure. Yanks were a fast team. 1258 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,800 Beldi could run, Jazz Cabbie Dominguez as well, Bolby could 1259 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,000 run. I mean, there's just too many 1260 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,200 dashes and letters. And I don't think that that's a 1261 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,440 bot, but if it's a bot, it's it's a pretty good take. 1262 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,120 So you can see the username right there. 1263 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,160 By the way, you guys want to get the Super chats humming like 1264 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,240 this sub it out all that other stuff. 1265 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:15,600 We we haven't taken a call yet here. 1266 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,840 I know that if you're new to the show, J Rod, we haven't done. 1267 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,680 This.

We could get our man. 1270 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,520 Set in a while. I mean, on a few days we don't, 1271 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,320 we don't have to take. Yeah, yes. 1272 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,640 What I did tell Jared the other day because you know, I would 1273 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,600 always be a little bored by this, whether I was hosting or 1274 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,160 listening on the fan. Now some callers were 1275 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,760 outstanding. Some callers really do add 1276 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,840 something to the show and I think so far BT at least callers 1277 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,720 have been awesome like that's that's my expectation and you 1278 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,760 guys delivered there and I want to get some more here because 1279 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,280 coming up soon Michael Kay and then there's no more phone 1280 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,360 calls. So if you want to get on the 1281 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,600 phone today call, but I did tell J Rod, I said I don't want I 1282 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,880 don't want the same, you know, 789 callers every day. 1283 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:02,520 So we got to mix it up a little bit. 1284 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,160 All right, so if you haven't called yet and you want to give 1285 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,240 it a shot, nothing to be nervous about, man. 1286 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,720 I mean, if there's something you really want to challenge me on, 1287 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,040 bring it.

I I would always give you guys a 1289 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,840 chance to to get after it on the fan. 1290 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,240 Like I that engagement is what would it really excite me? 1291 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,800 I was never one my really my entire radio career. 1292 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,520 I was never want to take a call, Joe in Manhattan. 1293 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,280 Joe, what's going on?

I've always said what's when 1298 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,600 some people say, hey, I'll hang up and no, no, don't hang up and 1299 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,040 listen. Because if I say something you 1300 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,920 don't like or you want to push back on, you can't because you 1301 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,600 hung up and you're listening. So if you want to, you know, do 1302 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,680 a little verbal little jousting here. 1303 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,320 I mean those that's my favorite part of any show outside of the 1304 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,680 open and all the other stuff. Like I love that. 1305 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,680 So if you're reluctant to call, don't be if you don't know how 1306 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:57,800 to call because it's not the same as, you know, conventional 1307 01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,720 stuff. J Rod, tell them real quickly. 1308 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,640 How they do it I just toss it in the chat again in the comments 1309 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,800 section. Also in the description there's 1310 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,840 a link to the service we use, stream yard. 1311 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,560 I learned last night not to give them a pop. 1312 01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,040 Not to give the company a pop. What do you mean Like a little 1313 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,040 promo pop? If you down download the Stream 1314 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,160 Yard app, it's incredibly easy to join these calls. 1315 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,680 Like you literally like it just opens up. 1316 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,480 You see, you see the private chat in front of you. 1317 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:27,240 You. Oh, really? 1318 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,120 Yeah. So it's like if you have the app 1319 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,440 on your phone, it makes it a little bit more of a seamless 1320 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,000 process. It's still pretty easy. 1321 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,120 You click on the link in the chat Stream Yard, you'll be in a 1322 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,280 little studio similar to what we're speaking into. 1323 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,320 I'll ask for your question and then I'll send you another link 1324 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,080 to this Stream Yard. So 2. 1325 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,560 Clicks. 2 clicks and you're right here. 1326 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,000 Clickety clack. It sounds like it's pretty 1327 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,600 convoluted. I'll do here. 1328 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,480 Click this, click. It's actually once you know how 1329 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,120 to do it, it's simple. So let's get some of those fired 1330 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,720 up. Let's get another one here. 1331 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:02,400 Ken C-N7 N what I'm going to have a I'm going to have a 1332 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,400 little little rule here. Anything with more than two 1333 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,400 dashes and five or six consonants and or three or four 1334 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,640 consonants in a row in a row without a vowel, I will not read 1335 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,120 J Rod will. Ken CN 7 N Well, that's an. 1336 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,960 Easy 1 thank you there J Rod Stearns replace guys that play 1337 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,080 every day and produce with the guys that often injured and 1338 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,120 suck. Stearns is a moron. 1339 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,400 I mean he's not a moron and a terrible GM Go back to 1340 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,040 Milwaukee. I mean that part might be true. 1341 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,680 Listen I very well. I mean, right now I'm wrong on 1342 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,920 Stearns and and by the way, just so we don't revise history to an 1343 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:41,200 extent that is not recognizable now, many of you did not like 1344 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:45,760 what he did this offseason. I was intrigued enough and I 1345 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,200 liked enough of it to give it a chance because you know where I 1346 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,320 stood on the Mets core and that core and their ability to ever 1347 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:53,560 win. It was not happening. 1348 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:57,480 So you had to change something. And their short term deals and 1349 01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,280 they have a good form system or at least you know, and I still 1350 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,080 think that they do like Ewing's. Interesting. 1351 01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:08,480 Whatever, but I I think that the to separate the two thoughts 1352 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,680 here. When the Mets hired Stearns, 1353 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,960 everybody loaded it. I don't know anybody that didn't 1354 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,160 really. I mean, universal is like this 1355 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,720 guy's a baseball genius. All right, I may be a little 1356 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,840 hyperbolic there, but certainly a sensible baseball man knows 1357 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:23,040 how to build a team the right way. 1358 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,520 He's going to pitch, going to get some athletes going to catch 1359 01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,520 the ball, going to make some contact like a a real modern 1360 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,600 team, right. Why I was so intrigued with 1361 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,600 David Stern's coming to the Mets is because to me, his skill set 1362 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,680 there was obviously transferable because it's the same premise. 1363 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,880 It's baseball. You're not you're not going to 1364 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,960 be the GM of basketball. So you still got to find guys 1365 01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,560 and draft guys who can run and catch and all the things that 1366 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:52,840 that you valued in Milwaukee. But to accent those skills was 1367 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,720 one of the biggest checkbooks in sports. 1368 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,720 Cohen And I'm like, it's a home run. 1369 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,560 I mean, look what he did in like, did they never win in 1370 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,600 Milwaukee in terms of the World Series? 1371 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,560 Did they not win a World Series in Milwaukee because David 1372 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,640 Stearns wasn't good enough or because some of the other teams 1373 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,240 kind of, you know, more comparable in terms of building 1374 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,040 teams but just had more resources? 1375 01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,800 Like, to me, it's the latter. You know, I can't prove that. 1376 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,720 I mean, maybe if David Stearns would have spent the $100 1377 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,720 million more with the Brewers and they had a payroll that 1378 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,360 mirrored some of the, you know, top teams in baseball, you know, 1379 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,600 like the Dodgers, like the Mets, like the Yankees, like the 1380 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,280 Phillies, teams like that. Toronto, maybe, maybe it 1381 01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,280 wouldn't work. So maybe I'm giving them undue 1382 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,480 or unjust credit there. But we don't know the answer. 1383 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,600 But I was really intrigued with finding out what the answer 1384 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,440 would be. So when the Mets got and then 1385 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:43,840 he's a Mets fan. He grew up here. 1386 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,360 I'm like, this is perfect. So I'm never going to, I'm not 1387 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:47,840 going to run from that. I can't front. 1388 01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:53,000 Like, I thought that Stearns was a great hire at the right time. 1389 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,920 All right, what he did. And I liked what he did this 1390 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,720 winter. Ken, I was wrong, at least so 1391 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,200 far. This team is a disaster. 1392 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,440 Oh, disaster. Speaking of disaster, guess 1393 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:05,920 who's coming on the show next week? 1394 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:07,160 Who? We got you. 1395 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:11,520 Got Joe B going to hop on. No way Joe B's going to hop on. 1396 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,760 Let's go, go. B's going to hop on. 1397 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,320 So we got my buddy Michael K coming up in about 30 minutes. 1398 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,960 Joe B next week. And Joe is horrendous with the 1399 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:24,000 texts, right. And because Terry, his wife is 1400 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,880 the one who basically always responds on the text. 1401 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,720 Like, you know, if like back in the day, I played golf a few 1402 01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,120 times with Joe, like we used to have the same agent. 1403 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,680 It was, it was me and it was Joe and it was Tiki. 1404 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,840 I I think, I think Gio had the same agent too. 1405 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:40,280 Either way they were, but, but I was, you know, I got to know Joe 1406 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,080 pretty well. And obviously Tiki was my guy, a 1407 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:43,480 partner. So we had the same 1408 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,520 representation. So Joe and I would go get out 1409 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,800 and play a little bit. Then I remember like the first 1410 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,160 time I played with Joe, he's out there. 1411 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,760 He's like, see smoking a joint when, you know, I'm like, this 1412 01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,080 guy's a fucking trick man. He's out. 1413 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:55,760 Yeah. Oh, yeah, he's And then the next 1414 01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:59,680 time I play with he's got like these these Argyle socks up to 1415 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,640 his knees. And I'm like, holy, now you you 1416 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,440 listen, I've talked about my struggles with golf, but I 1417 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,480 remember seeing him on the T box the first time I ever played 1418 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,720 with him. I'm like, this guy is he has got 1419 01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,800 to be awful. His, he was gripping down like 1420 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,160 his, his, his hands were basically on the shaft, not even 1421 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,560 on the leather grip, not even on the Yeah. 1422 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:26,160 And he was basically bent like a catcher who was too old to get 1423 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,520 into the Crouch. He just wasn't standing, you 1424 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:30,760 know, you want to have a little bend. 1425 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,440 But he was like so low and his legs were so wide. 1426 01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,120 But he actually got the ball in the fairway. 1427 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,840 Not very far. But then Joe kept playing, kept 1428 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:39,920 plugging, kept playing. He's got like 4 hole at once. 1429 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,760 That's crazy. At least three, I guess. 1430 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,840 I know he's got at least three. And when it's funny, I have. 1431 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,040 I haven't seen Terry. His wife is awesome. 1432 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,600 I haven't seen her in years. I really haven't even seen Joe 1433 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,400 in a while. But one of the first times I 1434 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,600 played with with with Joe, Terry came. 1435 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:59,360 She's a really good golfer too. And like their dynamic on the 1436 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,960 course is hysterical. You know, like he's like, I 1437 01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,280 don't even try to give her advice, bro. 1438 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,120 I'm like Joe, I'm like, you know, I think because she's 1439 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,840 good, she hits the ball really well. 1440 01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,680 But if I recall, she was rough around the green. 1441 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,360 Like like many people, it's hard, you know, chipping out of 1442 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,120 the sand putting. I'm like, Joe, why don't you 1443 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,000 just you know, maybe tell her because, you know, I was, I 1444 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,319 didn't want to tell her necessarily. 1445 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,439 He's like, Nah, bro, she gets mad at me, bro. 1446 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,760 No, no, figure it out. So we'll get Joe. 1447 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,160 I think we'll get him Tuesday. He said I might be playing golf 1448 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:27,800 on Tuesday. So if it's not Tuesday, 1449 01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,960 Wednesday, if not Tuesday, Monday, whatever it might be, 1450 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,359 but we'll get Joe on next week. And that's the first time that I 1451 01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:34,880 texted and I haven't texted him in a while. 1452 01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,399 That's the first time I texted Joe that he got back to me. 1453 01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,200 It's always been Terry. So I guess Joe has finally 1454 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,200 learned, unlike my dad who has a flip phone. 1455 01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:48,160 Still, Can you believe? That really respect dude I 1456 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,840 didn't even know. No, no respect. 1457 01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,840 Well, I mean total respect my. But it may. 1458 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,680 It probably makes things impossible dude. 1459 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,479 You got no freaking idea. You have no idea. 1460 01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,040 Like my dad still, he's probably watching right now. 1461 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,560 He emails, you know, whether it's about one of my kids games 1462 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:11,000 or he was emailing me about a basketball camp that that my son 1463 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,160 might go to. And it's like, and it's kind of 1464 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,479 far. He's like, I can come. 1465 01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,840 This is during the summers, like I could, I could come and I'll 1466 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,760 take him a few nights or I'll spend a few nights and I'll take 1467 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,040 him like those are things you could text, right, or talk 1468 01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,279 about. And The funny thing is, excuse 1469 01:09:26,279 --> 01:09:29,520 me, the I, I just stopped trying. 1470 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,560 There was a point early on in our marriage and certainly when 1471 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:34,680 the kids were born. I'm like, I'm getting you the 1472 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,160 iPhone, I'm getting you the iPhone. 1473 01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,439 I don't care what you say. I'm getting it for you because I 1474 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,800 can't stand having now my mom's the best on the on the phone. 1475 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,920 She's the best in everything. But I text my mom automatically 1476 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,319 right back, right. I but I have to text, I have to 1477 01:09:48,359 --> 01:09:51,200 text my mom videos. Hey, look what look what you 1478 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:52,399 know, look what your granddaughter did. 1479 01:09:52,399 --> 01:09:54,520 Look at, you know, look at the home run your grandson just did 1480 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,440 and then I'll show dad, you know, make sure that you show 1481 01:09:57,440 --> 01:10:01,160 dad instead of just being able to send it to dad. 1482 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:02,560 So. Exactly. 1483 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:07,920 So she's got to do it by proxy. She does and again, I gave up on 1484 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,360 this, but he's like, I don't need it. 1485 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,360 I don't want it. He goes, that's always his 1486 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:12,680 response. And then finally I'm like, he's 1487 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,160 just not going to change. He's stubborn because there was 1488 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,640 about a three-year kick where I'm like, I'm doing it like I'm 1489 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,880 get, I don't care what you say. We're getting you the iPhone for 1490 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,440 Christmas or for your birthday. We're getting I don't want it, I 1491 01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:24,280 don't need it. He goes, I don't want to answer 1492 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:25,760 the phone. I don't need text, but he goes, 1493 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,720 I don't need that shit. That's exactly what he said. 1494 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,760 I don't need any of that shit. He goes, if somebody wants to 1495 01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,600 call me, they know how to get me. 1496 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,400 My phone works. All right, Phone works, doesn't 1497 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,240 work for what I want, want to send you, but yes, if somebody 1498 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,280 does call you physically, yes. That it does work. 1499 01:10:42,480 --> 01:10:43,720 It does. It does work. 1500 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,240 I've got no expectations once Peterson, Sanga, Beatty and 1501 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,240 Vientos were considered to be a big part of the team. 1502 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,520 Mehndi has no fire or desire. Willie under score, Long Beach. 1503 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,680 Thank you for that, Willie. Speaking of Long Beach, shout 1504 01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:00,160 out to my buddies over at Borrelli's, Mike Quinn, who was 1505 01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,440 the best big St. John's guy, big Knicks guy. 1506 01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:04,760 I think I'm going to be out of Borrelli's. 1507 01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,040 We were, we were texting the other day. 1508 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:07,600 Thank God he can answer his text there. 1509 01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,760 I I, I think I'm going to be out of Borrelli's for one of the 1510 01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,320 Yankee Mets Subway Series games. I've done a couple of the watch 1511 01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,400 parties out there. Saint John's a big Knicks one as 1512 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,200 well. And who knows? 1513 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,320 I mean, we could even maybe do something with the Knick playoff 1514 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,960 game before that. But love Borelli's great crew, 1515 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,520 great people, great part of of New York. 1516 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,080 I love it. So shout out to Long Beach. 1517 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,000 Yeah. I mean, you look at the Mets 1518 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,680 core, right? And I, listen, I I can do this 1519 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:33,880 with, with both. Both. 1520 01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,360 I can do this with. I'm going to, you know what I'm 1521 01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:36,720 going to do with both teams. Hold on. 1522 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:37,840 Let's got to write this down. Hold on. 1523 01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,880 First base, second base. This is actually going to be 1524 01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:46,160 depressing on some level. Forget about the pitching staff 1525 01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,760 right now. Center field, left field, DH. 1526 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:55,120 All right, so I'm just going to give you a yes or a no if in two 1527 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,760 years, the players that are currently playing the positions 1528 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,440 for both the Yanks of the Mets are here. 1529 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,720 Not five years, not 3-2 years. All right, First base Yankees. 1530 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,080 Yes Mets. No Second base. 1531 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:16,160 Yankees, No Mets. Yankees no Mets, yes, Probably 1532 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,480 Lindoor at that point could be at second. 1533 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,400 He could be gone. Lombard's going to be playing 1534 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:22,640 short. So that's why I say no for the 1535 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:28,560 Yankees third base right now. Yankees, No Mets, no catcher. 1536 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,160 Yeah, I think. Wells will be here. 1537 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:37,560 Wells, yes. And Alvarez, I'm I'm going to 1538 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,840 say no right field for the Yankees. 1539 01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,560 Yes, right field for the Mets is currently bench. 1540 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,600 That'll change at some point, but I'm going to say bench will 1541 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,080 will, will absolutely. I like bench. 1542 01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,320 He's a good ball player. So I'm going to say yes there. 1543 01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:57,520 Center field for the Yankees. No with Grisham, Louise, Robert 1544 01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,360 no left field right now for the Yankees. 1545 01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:05,760 Bellinger, yeah, he he could be at 1st and you know, right, Rice 1546 01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:10,520 could be ADH catcher, but yeah, Beldy will be here and Soda will 1547 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,680 be here. So yes, yes. 1548 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:18,560 And then DH Stanton, no. And then, you know, Mets, I 1549 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,080 mean, whatever. No, the answer is no. 1550 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:26,400 So for the Yankees, I've got 1234 yeses and for the Mets, 1551 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,000 I've got 123. All right, not the disparity I 1552 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,160 necessarily thought. But then he gets a pitching, 1553 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:32,160 it's a little different. Whatever. 1554 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:33,440 All right, let's get to the calls here. 1555 01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,600 Michael Kay coming up in a bit. Who do we have there? 1556 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:36,760 J Rod? Let's go, brother. 1557 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,760 We've got James from Hoboken. James. 1558 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,200 What's happening, man? Hey BT. 1559 01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,240 Sorry about being a previous caller. 1560 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,640 No, no, no, listen, I just don't want the same ones every day. 1561 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:48,960 But. It's, you know, there's going to 1562 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:50,120 be some repeats. It's all good. 1563 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:51,080 What do you got? Yeah. 1564 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,960 Cool. So yeah, on the Mets. 1565 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,920 Yeah, I guess the only silver lining at this point is the 1566 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:01,160 tickets seem a little bit reasonable on the secondary 1567 01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,000 market that they seem cheaper than. 1568 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,080 I know obviously because the team's awful, but I mean. 1569 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:09,960 What can you? Do Anyway, I just had a question 1570 01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,440 for you. How, how important do you think 1571 01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,520 team leadership and team chemistry is on baseball team? 1572 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,560 Yeah, that's that's yeah, it's, it's a. 1573 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,600 Simple question, but it's a really good one. 1574 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,360 I think it's least the least important of all the sports. 1575 01:14:24,440 --> 01:14:26,960 I really do. You know, like in the NBA, 1576 01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,000 chemistry matters, hockey chemistry matters. 1577 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,640 Football chemistry in a different sense, Like offensive 1578 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:38,200 lines gelling, defensive lines gelling secondary's good, good 1579 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,520 that conversation good that what's the word? 1580 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,040 Good interaction. You know, you've got to have 1581 01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,600 that in terms of responsibilities and good, good 1582 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,160 communication. That's what I'm searching for 1583 01:14:48,440 --> 01:14:50,400 now. Baseball, there's myriad 1584 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,000 examples where teams couldn't stand each other and they they 1585 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,000 wanted the highest level. And you can look at the Yankees 1586 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,920 of the mid 70s, like Thurman and Reggie couldn't stand each 1587 01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,960 other. Goose got into a fight in the 1588 01:14:59,960 --> 01:15:02,240 shower. You know, metals and Reggie 1589 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,640 didn't like each other. So the dynamics of the baseball 1590 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,600 team. David Wells when he was here 1591 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,320 with the Yankee. I know, I know he was boys, but 1592 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,080 Coney and they were out there carousing all the time. 1593 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,200 But Tory, you know, he was on Wells drove him nuts. 1594 01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:19,480 And I'm sure Jeter was was bothered by Wells's sloppiness. 1595 01:15:19,480 --> 01:15:23,360 I'm I'm sure a rod and Jeter weren't best friends when they 1596 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,800 won an O 9, even though they kind of resolved some of those 1597 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:32,440 mended defenses a bit. I do think when it's this bad, I 1598 01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:35,840 do think chemistry matters more in baseball, but it's an 1599 01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:40,800 individual sport, you know, disguised within a series of 1600 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,840 team events. I can do my job independent of 1601 01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,240 you. I'm a hitter. 1602 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,520 It doesn't matter if I hate you, right? 1603 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,360 But I can do my job at the plate. 1604 01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,760 Whereas off if I'm say Brunson and they don't, but like say 1605 01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,920 Brunson and Cat couldn't stand each other, Well, subliminally 1606 01:15:57,920 --> 01:15:59,240 on that subconscious, you know what? 1607 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,240 He's open, but screw him. I'm giving it to OG like that's 1608 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,360 going to manifest itself and I in a more real way. 1609 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:07,520 So I know that's a bit of a long answer. 1610 01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:09,840 I think it's important, but at the end of the day, you need 1611 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,360 talent and the Mets just don't have enough. 1612 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,440 Yeah, in my opinion, I think it's more important than maybe. 1613 01:16:14,440 --> 01:16:17,600 You do just just. Well, I mean. 1614 01:16:18,480 --> 01:16:20,520 I mean just. Taking the Mets, for example, 1615 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,000 they they're they're really lacking team chemistry and well, 1616 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:24,840 hold on James, hold on James, hold on Joe. 1617 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,120 If you look at the good. Teams, if you look at the good 1618 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,000 teams like the Yankees. And the Dodgers? 1619 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,880 They have it in spades. Well, hold on James. 1620 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:33,800 Here's where I think players, but I mean it's. 1621 01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,320 Definitely more of a factor than. 1622 01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,800 Than maybe, but James, I think you're missing this, right? 1623 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:38,760 What? And it's just my. 1624 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:40,560 Opinion. I respect yours but I don't 1625 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,920 agree even though I can't prove that you're wrong. 1626 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,880 But I'm going to give you my further opinion here. 1627 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:50,240 So you are picking situations, right where, All right, Yankees 1628 01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:51,680 have good chemistry. Yankees are good. 1629 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,640 Dodgers have good chemistry. Dodgers are good. 1630 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:58,280 Well, they have good players. Ohtani Betts, Freeman, Will 1631 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:02,000 Smith, Aaron Judge, Ben Rice, Cam Schlitzler, Max Freed. 1632 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:03,800 A manager who's been there forever. 1633 01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,480 Now, you might not love Boone, but he's good. 1634 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,080 A manager who's been with the Dodgers, who's won multiple 1635 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:11,160 World Series. Is the chemistry really good or 1636 01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,280 are they just good right but going into the season. 1637 01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:18,320 With the Mets right? Despite the losses, you know, 1638 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:22,600 with Pete and Edwin and and Nimmo, right, do you think they 1639 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,200 made, do you think they replaced those guys with like solid 1640 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,880 players like I, I like what they did. 1641 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:33,320 I mean, I, I do think I understanding Polanco was never 1642 01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:35,040 going to deliver 40 bombs like Pete. 1643 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,160 I thought he'd be, you know, as a former shortstop, I thought 1644 01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,280 he'd handle first base well, better at bats on base a little 1645 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:42,840 bit more, a little bit better on the bases. 1646 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,200 Bichette's one of the most clutch hitters in baseball. 1647 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,520 It's documentable over the years. 1648 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:51,480 So I love the Bichette signing. I understood the Louise Roberts 1649 01:17:51,480 --> 01:17:53,880 signing. I thought it was time to get rid 1650 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,760 of McNeil. So I certainly understood, you 1651 01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:57,320 know, and, and certainly Nemo as well. 1652 01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,120 Semi did second catching the ball, Peralta as an ace. 1653 01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:03,560 McClain I love, you know, I I kind of did like what they did, 1654 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,160 but I'm not the GM, so if I'm wrong, it doesn't matter. 1655 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,120 I'm just trying to understand what's plaguing in this team. 1656 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:10,680 I mean. They suck. 1657 01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,400 They're not executing on the field because they're, they're 1658 01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,080 bad player. They're not bad players. 1659 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:16,640 They're they're, they're, they're, they're bad. 1660 01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,280 They're young guys. Are not good. 1661 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:20,600 They're first of all, some of the guys that just mentioned 1662 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,680 aren't healthy. Polanco hasn't played in 10 1663 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:27,120 days, whatever it is. So you know #1 #2 I mean, think 1664 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:28,760 about the lineup. They're rolling out every night. 1665 01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:32,120 So couple of times we've seen Francisco Alvarez hit third. 1666 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,040 He's an 8 hitter. He just is. 1667 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,720 He swings from the heels every single time up, doesn't make 1668 01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,600 enough contact, doesn't have enough power consistently. 1669 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,680 He's just sloppy like so. He's not good enough. 1670 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,880 Beatty's not good enough, Mauricio's not good enough, and 1671 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,040 I'll give him a little more room to prove because he's younger 1672 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,720 and he hasn't played as much. We know Vientos is not 1673 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,000 consistent enough or good enough in two of the three aspects of 1674 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,280 baseball, catching and running, fielding the ball and running. 1675 01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,160 They're rolling out three or four guys every night who are 1676 01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,240 basically minor leaguers. And I think Simeon's washed and 1677 01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,080 I didn't think that coming in he's done can hit. 1678 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,600 Yeah. I just thought overall like with 1679 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,960 with. Lasagna Bouchette, right? 1680 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,760 You got Soto Lindor and you got Polanco. 1681 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:16,720 I thought that was a pretty good core going in. 1682 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:17,720 I mean, I don't know what happened. 1683 01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,360 Like obviously Polanco was injured and and obviously Lindor 1684 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,000 as well, but it's just falling apart so. 1685 01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,480 So, so dramatically. I mean, it really has. 1686 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,680 I know, yeah. Yeah. 1687 01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:30,200 I mean, that's a thanks. Thanks. 1688 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:31,760 For the call man I. Appreciate it, James. 1689 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:36,000 That's why it to me at this point, I mean, you know, you're 1690 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,400 two or three more losses away and I've already hit my 1691 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,080 expiration point. I would have moved on from in 1692 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,760 those, with all due respect, but I just don't know how much 1693 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,160 longer you can let this thing bleed out without trying to get 1694 01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,360 a towel and and just see if you could clot it with somebody 1695 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,640 else. I I don't know how much longer 1696 01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,320 you could do this. How much longer They're 10 and 1697 01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,640 20. They're not 3:00 and 7:00. 1698 01:19:57,440 --> 01:20:00,240 It's 10 and 20. It's pathetic. 1699 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,720 You know, what do we got next? Jay Who? 1700 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:09,920 We've got the boy, Seth. From from North Carolina, first 1701 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:11,800 set in this week. Let's see man. 1702 01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,440 Yo, I am going look. Last night's game, Peterson on 1703 01:20:15,440 --> 01:20:18,680 the mound, it was the shit I've been expecting for a while. 1704 01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:22,000 He's hiding an injury and he just doesn't want to want to 1705 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:26,680 explain what that injury is covering it up and and and you 1706 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,800 know this how Seth? It's the same shit that happened 1707 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,040 in 23 with him. Remember. 1708 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,080 Yeah, I, I, I. I remember, but I'm. 1709 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,440 Saying, how do you know he's? Hurt Seth. 1710 01:20:36,440 --> 01:20:38,280 That's a pretty big statement think it bad. 1711 01:20:38,480 --> 01:20:41,760 The ERA is blown like a. Balloon One of his previous 1712 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,200 outings against Minnesota, he had to come in from a bullpen 1713 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,560 that screens covering an. Injury up and you look at what's 1714 01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,160 sang. That had was basically being 1715 01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,280 forced out to lower lumbar infection the L4 and L5 disc of 1716 01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,520 his spine. You know that we I had that 1717 01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,720 L4L5. S1 that's what I had surgery on, 1718 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:04,240 so hopefully Sang is going to be all right, but in his case, shut 1719 01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,640 him down for the rest of. The year I shut him down for the 1720 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:08,680 rest of his Mets career. Ship his ass out. 1721 01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:13,800 Kodai Sangha lost and then when you consider that Sodo may need 1722 01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,600 to be shut. Down in August so we can get 1723 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,480 Tommy John surgery on his elbow. Come on, Seth. 1724 01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:20,360 Now we're getting nuts here. I mean now. 1725 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,400 Now we're getting a little irresponsible. 1726 01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:23,400 Seth. Come on, buddy. 1727 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,360 I mean, he's been complaining about Elbow. 1728 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:27,640 Soreness. Why do you think he's not in? 1729 01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:29,920 The outfield, he also had a well, yeah, I know. 1730 01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,200 No, I know. That was a couple days. 1731 01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,880 Ago I get it, but he also had the same situation when he was a 1732 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:37,280 Yankee where he missed that Dodger series in the Bronx a 1733 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,760 couple of years ago and Aaron Judge had the same thing last 1734 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:42,880 year. Little flare up a little forearm 1735 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:47,000 tightness a little, you know, little elbow, you know, older, I 1736 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,520 don't know quite the owner collateral ligament, but that's 1737 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:51,960 obviously when that ruptures or that rips that's Tommy John 1738 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:53,520 surgery. But that was barking on Judge 1739 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,520 and you know Judge is going to hit sixty home runs this year. 1740 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,720 So you just I mean, to say that he's going to be Tommy John is 1741 01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:01,880 is ridiculous. Seth, come on. 1742 01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,680 But having said that, yes, how much? 1743 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,600 Longer. Is it going to take for Sterns 1744 01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:11,080 to pull his head out of his ass and cut the strings from the 1745 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:12,720 puppet? I don't know. 1746 01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,960 I don't know, I mean. I don't know, the way he 1747 01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,360 structured this team. It's Wiley. 1748 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,760 Coyote picking Acme goods. They're deliberately sabotage 1749 01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:24,440 and we'll fail him constantly when trying to catch the fucking 1750 01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:26,960 Roadrunner. Jeez. 1751 01:22:28,480 --> 01:22:30,640 All right, Seth, do you feel was that cathartic? 1752 01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,640 Do you feel a little bit better? You got to feel a little bit 1753 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:36,000 better after that, a little better the sooner they get swept 1754 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,960 by the Halos and. Cohen finally puts his foot 1755 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:42,600 down, hires Alex Cora, who will not take any of Stearns's 1756 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:47,000 bullshit the better. OK, man, I got you, Seth. 1757 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,200 Wow. Thank you, buddy. 1758 01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:54,560 Thank you for the call. J Rod Wow. 1759 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:58,320 Oh my.

Oh, I see what you're saying. 1774 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,640 All right, all right.

One, you know, as you say, give 1788 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,920 a little state of the Yankees too. 1789 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,920 It's just like he's like, I mean, everyone's a legend that 1790 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:25,320 we've had on so far, but like he is a legend legend, so great to 1791 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:26,960 have him on. And I I. 1792 01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,960 I just thought the first one was cool and like, I really like 1793 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,920 that, you know, he's he's he's interested in doing it live. 1794 01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:37,480 I mean, I know he, he does his own ESPN show live, so it's a 1795 01:24:37,480 --> 01:24:41,760 pretty similar format. But yeah, dude, cannot. 1796 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,880 I can't wait to get into. I mean really, I mean the 1797 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,120 Yankees look good. They look really good and 1798 01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,560 there's a lot of a lot of things to to like here. 1799 01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:52,920 There's also questions like I'm very curious. 1800 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:56,160 I saw some of his clip yesterday from his show about Volpe, how 1801 01:24:56,160 --> 01:25:03,000 they're going to handle him. You know, Lombard and let's face 1802 01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,600 it, guys, and I've said this for a long time, AA has been the new 1803 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,640 is really been the new AAA for the last 10-12 fifteen years. 1804 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:13,800 It used to be you had a sequentially go A2A3A bigs. 1805 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,880 It's it's not like that a lot of guys skip triple AI mean the, 1806 01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:21,720 the really when you perform at AA, you are, you are deemed 1807 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:24,560 ready. And I, I, I don't think provided 1808 01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:27,480 he doesn't fall on his face in triple AI, don't think it's 1809 01:25:27,480 --> 01:25:31,080 going to be that long. The more I think about this, I, 1810 01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,560 I, I think, I know we're going to see Lombard at some point in 1811 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,520 2026. I think we might see him a lot 1812 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,760 sooner rather than later. I, I really do. 1813 01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:43,720 I also want to ask Michael Eddie Cam comp like I always find that 1814 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,560 interesting here when you talk about young, young players, you 1815 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:49,160 know, hey, who do they remind you of? 1816 01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:53,600 And I I haven't really found one yet for Cam Schlittler, you 1817 01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:57,080 know, if he was a lefty, you know, maybe maybe you go like a 1818 01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:01,000 smaller version, a younger, like a a mini Randy Johnson, because 1819 01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,320 he is he is tall. The balls on you fast. 1820 01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:08,400 So maybe maybe you know, somewhat of a of a mini 1821 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,200 right-handed Randy. Either way, it's going to be 1822 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:11,800 great talking to Michael. Can't wait for that. 1823 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:13,360 Going to be an absolute blast here. 1824 01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:15,200 All right, let me get some more chats up. 1825 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,840 See what we got going here. Stearns. 1826 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,720 Let me see Stearns replace guys that play every day and produce 1827 01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:23,400 with the guys that are often injured and stink. 1828 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,760 Stearns is a moron and a terrible jam. 1829 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,600 Go back to I mean, there was nobody that I I don't know 1830 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,200 anybody and I don't blame you that believes in David Stearns 1831 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:33,320 at this point. I I just, I just don't see it. 1832 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,120 This one's interesting here, guys. 1833 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,160 A cross between Nick Costos and Bubba the Love sponge. 1834 01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:44,080 Pity, pity, right. I was just that's not bad. 1835 01:26:44,440 --> 01:26:45,800 You know, we used to have Nick on the show. 1836 01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,560 Nick's good guy. Nick's a talented guy too. 1837 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:49,040 Nick Costos. Shout out to Nick if he's 1838 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:52,800 watching or if this gets to him, we would have him on on Fridays, 1839 01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:56,320 you know, do the whole gambling stuff being Sal and good, great 1840 01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:01,040 energy, really talented, good dude, good content. 1841 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,840 And Bubba, I've I've never, you know, listen, I've never really 1842 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,000 listened to Bubba there. Obviously, you know, he's down 1843 01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,240 to Tampa, although I think he's probably syndicated. 1844 01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:12,160 But I was ironically, I was watching something with Bubba 1845 01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:14,320 the other day, which I've never sought out. 1846 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,600 Like I've gone back like, you know, when I'm jumping in 1847 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,520 YouTube like old Howard Stern interviews, whether it's 1848 01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:23,760 Jennifer Aniston or some other people, like what a back in the 1849 01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,160 day. Not now back in the day and like 1850 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:30,040 Tommy Lee or Pam Anderson, stuff like that. 1851 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:35,360 And I, I watched the Hogan documentary, all four parts on 1852 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,640 Netflix, loved it. But then as I was, you know, 1853 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:39,960 because then it's got the algorithm. 1854 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,320 So when you look for one thing, it's going to kind of bring you 1855 01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,400 in the neighborhood of, of something else that maybe 1856 01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:46,520 applies to it. And there was an interview with 1857 01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:49,960 Brooke Hogan, who's obviously estranged from, you know, most 1858 01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,920 estranged from Hulk. And she was on Bubba. 1859 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:54,520 She was, she was in studio with Bubba. 1860 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,400 They remain great friends, calls him uncle. 1861 01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:01,880 And it was a really good interview about how they both 1862 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,280 thought they really misrepresented a lot of things 1863 01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:09,280 in the documentary, like, yeah, yeah. 1864 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:14,360 And, And she came across across as very classy, very grounded, 1865 01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:18,880 very stable and, you know, very warm and, and very welcoming. 1866 01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,080 And it seemed like she really tried to do right by her dad, 1867 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,000 even though there's a lot of stuff going on at the end, as we 1868 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,480 know, the divorce and and a lot of other stuff. 1869 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,800 But she she basically said she wasn't even mad at Nick, her 1870 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,280 brother. She's like, yeah, but Nick was 1871 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,040 in, I think he was in California, wherever he was. 1872 01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:37,120 She's like, I was the one who was flying, you know, back to 1873 01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,280 Tampa every time my dad had his surgery. 1874 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,200 She's like, I got a whole text chain of, you know, doctor's 1875 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:45,680 appointments and but yet if you watch the Hogan documentary and 1876 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:49,280 made it seem like Nick was the one who was there, Yeah, yeah. 1877 01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:50,880 Listen, I'm not trying to get in their family. 1878 01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:52,160 Business he's. No longer with us. 1879 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,720 I'm I'm really not like yeah, I love Hulk Hogan. 1880 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:58,520 He's not perfect, said some dumb things, but you know, I love 1881 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,840 him. I I I really do just he's just 1882 01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:03,040 grimy. It's based on his wrestling. 1883 01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,040 Yeah. You want his promos and all that 1884 01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:09,120 stuff. But the the the interviews, like 1885 01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,360 Nick was there a lot in in the I don't think Brooklyn. 1886 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,200 No, she declined to be a part of it. 1887 01:29:14,480 --> 01:29:16,720 It was just interesting how she said a lot of things were kind 1888 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,200 of misrepresented, even Neidhart. 1889 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:23,720 Neidhart, Jim, the Anvil Neidhart daughter was in it a 1890 01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,120 lot. And Bubba was like, yeah, I 1891 01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:27,920 mean, it made it seem like she was part of the equation. 1892 01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,720 She wasn't around at all. So and I I don't know the truth 1893 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,400 to that. It just seemed like the way it 1894 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:36,320 was presented by Netflix a little bit was not necessarily, 1895 01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:40,080 at least in the opinion of a Bubba and the opinion of Brooke. 1896 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:41,960 That wasn't necessarily the way it went down. 1897 01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,520 But but I wasn't there, so I don't, I don't know. 1898 01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:48,200 Cam is a young Curt Schilling. Interesting. 1899 01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:53,320 Cam is a young Curt Schilling. Yeah. 1900 01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:54,600 I don't know. No, I don't. 1901 01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,160 I don't. I don't really agree with that. 1902 01:29:57,840 --> 01:29:59,960 I don't agree with that. You know why I don't agree with 1903 01:29:59,960 --> 01:30:00,640 that? Let me just look. 1904 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:01,880 So I'm going to geek out for a SEC. 1905 01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,760 I know I'm in the neighborhood, but I want to just want to 1906 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:06,800 double check. So the thing about Curt 1907 01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,640 Schilling, before he really popped with the Phillies and 1908 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,640 eventually the Diamondback, I think Kurt should be in the Hall 1909 01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,800 of Fame. I know he's very polarizing, but 1910 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,840 I'm going to talk about as a baseball player, Curt Schilling 1911 01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:21,400 was a monster man, a big game pitcher, but early on, it could 1912 01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:24,240 throw a strike. And when you look and came up 1913 01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:25,000 with Baltimore. Yeah. 1914 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,120 All right, here we go. So can. 1915 01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:30,440 So you talk about if you think Cam Schlitter's a young Curt 1916 01:30:30,440 --> 01:30:33,080 Schilling, I think you're misremembering what Curt 1917 01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,760 Schilling was early. So it was first year. 1918 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,080 All right, these are small samples. 1919 01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:45,280 Whatever 9.82 ER, a very small sample 6.23 but even like in 93 1920 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:48,680 when now he's in a couple of full seasons with Philly. 1921 01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:52,400 That was a great Philly's team as we know the great, you know, 1922 01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:54,040 World Series, Toronto, all that stuff. 1923 01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,480 Great Darren Dalton, John Kruk, good baseball man Mitch 1924 01:30:57,480 --> 01:31:01,200 Williams, his ER Ray was, you know, four O 2. 1925 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:06,280 Then the next year was 448, you know, I mean, and then obviously 1926 01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,960 he's he really, when he went to Boston, he was a beast. 1927 01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:13,360 And when he went to before that or right after that Arizona now 1928 01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:17,360 I don't it's not, it's not. I appreciate the the attempt 1929 01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:18,960 there. I don't agree with that. 1930 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:20,960 I'm not, I'm not really seeing the same thing there. 1931 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:25,160 What else we got here? The Mets are about to ascend to 1932 01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:28,760 the deepest depth of hell. Well, that's depressing at Ocean 1933 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,840 View Coffee Shop. I mean, how much further is hell 1934 01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:34,560 from 10 to 20 with a $390,000,000 payroll? 1935 01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:37,040 I mean, how many more levels are there? 1936 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:40,680 Stadiums empty. Everybody's abandoned hope. 1937 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:42,880 What if there's a lower level of Mets? 1938 01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:46,080 Hell, I mean, I'm, I'm kind of curious to see what it is. 1939 01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:48,680 It's going to be Karl. It's Karl Marx hugging. 1940 01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:53,240 Mr. and Missus met Jesus. Yeah, it always goes back. 1941 01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:54,720 To Mr. and Missus Met, doesn't it? 1942 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:59,280 Like I remember years ago the Mets were in a rough spot. 1943 01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:03,320 I forget the exact year, but and you you probably don't remember 1944 01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:06,760 this, but Mr. Met was caught on video giving a fan the finger. 1945 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:10,600 No way had a game. It was just the imagery was 1946 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:14,880 perfect for the Mets, this big bulbous baseball head Mr. Met 1947 01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,440 hat with a big smile. And then there's I'm not going 1948 01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:20,720 to I'm just going to put up my my point and Mr. Mets like this, 1949 01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:23,080 you know, in the tunnel, like and it was like a 7 second 1950 01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,800 video. Like that's a good GIF, though. 1951 01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:27,720 It was fun. It Woah, woah, that's yes, for 1952 01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:29,760 sure. So you say Jif, you don't go 1953 01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:30,880 with GIF. I say Jif. 1954 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:35,000 I think it's a soft G as well. It is like it is literally Jif. 1955 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,680 Like that is what? The inventor of the term has has 1956 01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:42,160 coined it as but obviously I guess it's tomato, tomato sort 1957 01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:44,000 of deal. Then he throws out. 1958 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,840 No, that's that's. Not as debatable. 1959 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,240 Cam's more of a Randy Johnson. I threw that out. 1960 01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:50,880 That was the first name that I thought of. 1961 01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:54,760 I feel like that's little and even Randy Johnson, you know 1962 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:55,640 what? And geek out. 1963 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,400 I'll get to the Super chat there in a minute. 1964 01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:01,480 Even Randy Johnson. Randy Johnson early on with the 1965 01:33:01,480 --> 01:33:04,480 Expos, remember, he was traded to the Seattle Mariners. 1966 01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:07,560 Could not throw a strike. Let me see. 1967 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,880 It's crazy Randy Johnson played. For the Yankees and. 1968 01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:15,160 It is really crazy. All right, so you look at Randy 1969 01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:20,680 Johnson in. 1980. 9, His ERA was 4.82. 1970 01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:28,760 This is with Montreal and he made 28 starts and he had 96 1971 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:31,760 walks in 160 innings That that's high. 1972 01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:34,680 His WHIP was 1.5. Now. 1973 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,200 He also had 130 strikeouts. And then, you know, the next 1974 01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,240 year, you know, whatever, whatever. 1975 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,400 Even his first couple of years with Seattle, you definitely saw 1976 01:33:43,480 --> 01:33:45,960 more improvement. But yeah, I didn't even realize 1977 01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:47,200 this. I thought it kind of got better 1978 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:54,040 faster in Seattle, 199091 and 92 back-to-back to back. 1979 01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:56,760 He led baseball in walks. So yeah, I mean, he just 1980 01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:57,720 couldn't throw a striker on the eye. 1981 01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,160 He just couldn't do it. So I mean, that's not Cam 1982 01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:01,680 Schlittler. Cam Schlittler doesn't walk 1983 01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:03,160 anybody. That's why it's a very tough 1984 01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:04,880 comp. And I'm curious what Michael 1985 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:06,360 says. Michael K in a couple of minutes 1986 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:10,800 here, going to be awesome. Let me get coming from. 1987 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:13,240 All right, Poland. Oh, coming from Poland. 1988 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:17,080 Great to hear you guys again. Any chance Jazz gets traded and 1989 01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:20,200 they flip Volpe to 2nd checking in from Poland? 1990 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,280 Michael, I appreciate that. That is outstanding. 1991 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,800 So we have now had London check in on BT Unleashed. 1992 01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:29,760 We have had Australia check in, not to mention at least seven or 1993 01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:32,320 eight states, you know, within the United States. 1994 01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:34,920 But yeah, you start across domestic lines here. 1995 01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:36,480 You know what now? Now we're getting, we're getting 1996 01:34:36,480 --> 01:34:39,200 Poland. I mean, it's just we need to get 1997 01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,320 like South America up in here go. 1998 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,240 Asia up in here, I mean, I know we have viewers in Asia and 1999 01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,960 South America, obviously, you know I I can see that too. 2000 01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:48,360 You can, and I know you know this, but. 2001 01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:50,200 You're right. You're not just saying that like 2002 01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:51,640 I. When I look at the analytics of 2003 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:55,920 our channel, you can see what percentage of consumers of our 2004 01:34:55,920 --> 01:35:01,000 show male versus female, you know, age demographic country. 2005 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,840 Now it's it's basically like 98% United States, but then they 2006 01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:10,080 break down into sub, sub categories within the 2% and 2007 01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:12,720 there is a little Asia there and there is Australia there. 2008 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:14,080 So now there's no doubt you're not lying. 2009 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,920 Jay Roth does not lie. You know, I might stretch. 2010 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,200 I'm like, I'm Abe Lincoln with it. 2011 01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:22,400 Come on out of. Stave, there you go. 2012 01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:23,520 All right, let's get another call. 2013 01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:25,960 Maybe the last call before we get my buddy Michael K up there. 2014 01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:26,880 Who do we have here? Jay Roth. 2015 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:29,560 All right, we have our friend Blind Beard. 2016 01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:31,720 I don't. Believe he can hear us, though. 2017 01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:33,040 All right. Right now. 2018 01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:38,760 So why, Adam, I'm realizing some people, I think on their phones, 2019 01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:43,760 if they stay in the studio for too long, it can it like, cuts 2020 01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,040 your audio, but then and they just have to refresh it. 2021 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:46,640 Yeah. OK. 2022 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:49,840 All right, I think. It might be a. 2023 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:53,280 Like a phone issue with the with the service. 2024 01:35:53,480 --> 01:35:55,600 Got it. Yeah, they just refresh the 2025 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:56,840 page. All right, all right. 2026 01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,360 Well, let's give it a shot. So I assume he's going. 2027 01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,480 To say what he's got to say and then jump off like I don't know 2028 01:36:02,480 --> 01:36:03,880 if he's, I don't know if he's let. 2029 01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:05,240 Me. Let me just test this. 2030 01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:06,240 Go for it. See if he's right. 2031 01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:07,480 Yeah, it's OK. Go for it. 2032 01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:08,320 Can you?

Want to watch this MN tage one? 2036 01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:24,440 The Lamar Odom doc on Netflix was absolutely insane. 2037 01:36:24,440 --> 01:36:27,320 I mean, I've heard stories when he was with Kardashian, he was 2038 01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:31,280 at the brothel and one of them in in Vegas in Nevada and he was 2039 01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:33,520 like on crack.

It's it's it's probably time to 2048 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:55,360 certainly I'm not making light of this. 2049 01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:59,960 Check in somewhere as he has and as he did, but got to reassess a 2050 01:36:59,960 --> 01:37:01,080 little bit.
