00:00Ah, the Mets, did they need a much needed day off after getting swept in their series
00:04against the Colorado Rockies, including a doubleheader where they scored a measly one
00:08run, which means, oh no, day off usually means changes could come here.
00:12It's like the bye week in the NFL.
00:13Just get to the bye week, we'll fire a coach and we'll move on.
00:15How about this?
00:16Breaking news.
00:17The Mets have announced tomorrow's media schedule, which is today, including Carlos Mendoza's
00:21regular news conference at 4 p.m.
00:24No managerial changes will be made as of now.
00:26He's safe, Joe, for at least one more day.
00:30So why have the conference, what am I missing here?
00:34What are we talking about?
00:36If the manager is safe, what's on the horizon here for the Mets?
00:41Are they going to make a blockbuster trade, Donnie?
00:43Maybe?
00:44Could it be?
00:44Are they going to trade Soto back to the Yankees?
00:47What do you think?
00:48Yeah.
00:49I mean, even swap this and that didn't work out.
00:52The longer this goes on, the worse it gets.
00:55These media markets, like Philadelphia and the New York Mets, who stink.
00:58That's crazy.
00:58This wasn't projected before the season.
01:00Hey, guys, this is going to be a look-see year.
01:03We're going to rebuild the organization.
01:04We're going to spend a ton of money in the future, but let's just see what we have right
01:07now.
01:07That wasn't the case.
01:08Two super high payrolls that absolutely stink right now.
01:12And as I said, you can't easily get rid of players, but you can get rid of the managers.
01:16See, Boston up there.
01:17We'll get rid of everybody in our dugout right now outside the players.
01:21We'll see what happens here between the Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies.
01:23How about this one?
01:24Craig Breslow on why he didn't take questions from players yesterday.
01:27Quote, I think the most important thing, just given the timing and how this all came together,
01:31was to get the group together and make sure that they heard from me and then give them
01:35a second chance to give them a chance to spend some time with Trace.
01:39What's going on up there?
01:40Sounds like we're going to have a mutiny.
01:41We're going to have a mutiny, Joe, Boston.
01:43A little tea party action.
01:46This guy can't figure it out, man.
01:49If you're going to make a move like that, then you've got to draw the line in the sand
01:54and let the players in the locker room know your voice doesn't matter.
01:59I run this organization.
02:00So you either play and get paid or we move you.
02:04It's that.
02:04So like you can't have it both ways where, all right, I did it.
02:08You guys are upset.
02:09So now I'm listening.
02:11I want to grow up like, no, dude, you did this 27 games into the season, own it and
02:18make sure that they in the locker room know it's your guy that you work for that writes
02:23the check.
02:23So it's your way or the highway.
02:26It's the only way that'll work, Donnie.
02:28Angel Stadium, Joe, you said the big A out there in center field.
02:32And then they said, OK, we're going to play football.
02:34We're going to ruin this thing.
02:35Then we're going to renovate it once the Rams actually leave.
02:37And now they might be renovating a little bit more.
02:40Why, Joe, a section of Angel Stadium has been closed off.
02:43It's like, yeah, well, it's probably old and they need new seats.
02:45So they're trying to refurbish it.
02:46No, rodent infestation in the stadium here.
02:50Congratulations.
02:51If you went to the stadium like, hey, man, I'm going to get a hot dog and get some
02:54nachos, some sodas, some beers here.
02:56What's been running through that food lately, Joe?
03:00Well, I more importantly, Donnie, I mean, usually that happens when there's never anybody
03:04there.
03:06And that's kind of what I'm thinking.
03:08Yeah, there's just never anybody ever there.
03:11So the runs are like, you know what?
03:13Free tickets.
03:14Let's go.
03:14I mean, who else?
03:15Nobody else is coming to this place to watch them.
03:18Exactly.
03:19Trout.
03:19Now's the best time to get out of town.
03:21You can't be playing with the rats out there in L.A.
03:22You know what's better?
03:23Play with the rats in South Philadelphia.
03:25Those Philadelphia Phillies.
03:26Major League Baseball with a tweet, Joe.
03:29The Yankees would never do this.
03:30The Dodgers have a special event ticket package tonight for Japanese Heritage Night
03:36that includes these sick jerseys here.
03:39I'm assuming this was yesterday's game for the Dodgers.
03:42Take a look at that here, Joe.
03:44Now, you got that to go.
03:45Was it only kids 14 and under, as I like to say?
03:48Did everybody get one of these?
03:50I don't know, but that looks pretty sweet, Donnie.
03:53I'm not going to lie there.
03:54Is that Mount Fuji, Joe?
03:55A little Mount Fuji on the jersey?
03:58That looks pretty cool, but with Otani on your team, I can guarantee you that the amount
04:05of Japanese media there, there wasn't any more, I think, there in the game than is there
04:10every game at Dodger Stadium following him.
04:13We saw this with Ichiro, too, in Seattle, too.
04:15It was over the top, the coverage, and now, sure, why not?
04:20Those jerseys are going to be collector's items here.
04:22We know that, Donnie.
04:24By the way, Otani got signed to so much money, and I just go back to, like, he was on
04:30the
04:31Angels, and the Angels, like, ooh, I don't know if we can afford this guy, and the Dodgers
04:34are like, no matter the check that we write, how big it is, he's always going to be profitable,
04:40no question about it, and the Dodgers actually, somebody had a statement last year, it's like,
04:44he's already worth what we paid him, or I said, wait a second, the guy's making almost
04:47a billion dollars.
04:48Understand the marketplace and what it takes.
04:50You got to spend money to make money, Otani, as much money he makes, prints money for the
04:56Dodgers, case in point, that giveaway last night, as it was.
