00:00I'm not sure my level of empathy from Mets fans right now because there is such an air of cockiness
00:06coming into the season, even though it wasn't warranted.
00:11It was like, that's right, we rebuilt this team, we're going to be great, David Stearns is the best, you
00:15guys don't know who you're talking about.
00:16Giving Pete five years would have been stupid.
00:18Yo, Brandon Nimmo's diminishing skills, that would have been stupid.
00:22Yo, we didn't want Kyle Tucker at that number anyway, that would have been stupid.
00:25Edwin Diaz, $69 million, that would have been stupid.
00:29Meanwhile, Devin Williams is a disaster, you don't have a closer, right?
00:35Brandon Nimmo's killing it to start the season off, and what I noticed, look, I'm not going to pretend that
00:40I get into the nitty gritty as much as you do,
00:42and break down the analytics in this guy versus lefties, that guy versus whatever, right?
00:46Right.
00:47But I can tell you this, when you have more than just one guy, like I understand you like to
00:53have like a platoon infielder.
00:55Like a lot of teams carry that middle infielder, he can play second.
00:58He can play short for you.
01:00In a pinch, maybe third base, right?
01:02Right.
01:02And then you have the guy that maybe he's a natural corner outfielder, but you know, one random game every
01:08couple weeks, he can play left, center, right?
01:11Like every team's got kind of jack-of-all-trades like that.
01:14Hey, your backup first baseman's also your backup catcher, whatever, right?
01:17But man, I'm trying to watch the Mets again this weekend.
01:20I don't know why.
01:21Saturday was raining, obviously that's part of the reason why.
01:23Well, they didn't play Saturday because they got rained out.
01:26But I turned it on, and then I'm like, how many more positions is Brett Beatty going to play for
01:31this team?
01:31It's all over the place.
01:33Third base, first base, right field.
01:35He's not really good at any of them?
01:36He's not really good at any of them.
01:37Is that fair for me to say?
01:38Yes.
01:38Then I remember we had a talk.
01:39He's not terrible at them, but he's not really good at any of them.
01:42We had a conversation on Friday when I actually asked you the question because I didn't know the answer.
01:46Would the Mets pivot Bichette to shortstop while indoors out?
01:50And I thought you gave me a good answer.
01:52No.
01:53Yeah.
01:53He's going to stay third.
01:54They brought, what's his name up?
01:55That's what the Mets said.
01:56Right?
01:57Yes.
01:57Who did they bring up again?
01:58I forget his name.
02:00Mauricio.
02:01Mauricio.
02:01Right?
02:01They bring Mauricio up.
02:03No, no, Craig.
02:03He's going to be the shortstop.
02:05Lo and behold, I see Bo Bichette playing shortstop.
02:09Yeah.
02:09And had a couple nice plays.
02:12So it's like, this is a team.
02:15It's almost like, you know, when your kids are young enough, you know when your six-year-old
02:20comes home and he's got that art project that he's in school right now that sucks?
02:26Yep.
02:26But we all do the same thing.
02:28Of course.
02:28That's the greatest piece of art I've ever seen.
02:30It's on the fridge, yeah.
02:30The way the macaroni's hanging off the construction paper like that and the glitter's everywhere
02:35and there's spots of glue with nothing on it.
02:37Right, yeah.
02:38It's haphazard.
02:39Yes.
02:39As a six-year-old should be, by the way.
02:41Sure, of course.
02:41Show me a six-year-old that doesn't color outside the lines and I'll show you a kid
02:45that's going to be on the top of a building with a rifle one day.
02:47All right?
02:49That being the case, the New York Mets are like that six-year-old trying to do artwork in kindergarten.
02:56Right.
02:56It's haphazard.
02:57It is.
02:58It's all over the place.
03:00And I don't hear any cocky Mets fans anymore.
03:02No, because here's the thing.
03:03Where did they all go, Big Mac?
03:04Back atiah.
03:04...
03:04No, I love it.ietanych.
