00:00I've never been to a baseball game, nor have I ever witnessed a baseball game
00:04where universally the entire crowd, which was north of a sold-out crowd
00:08on a Monday night against the Orioles, two teams that are not making postseason play.
00:12The Mets are officially eliminated today at the time I was talking now.
00:15Every single fan was rooting to be homered on.
00:19That was the complete reaction for Mets fans with Pete Alonzo.
00:24They wanted it so bad.
00:25Do you think he maybe was a little bit too jumpy with the energy around here in the building,
00:30and do you think he'll probably settle down in the next couple games of this series?
00:33Yeah, I would anticipate him to settle down.
00:35Regardless, this was an emotional day, and if he just gave a nice stone-cold face
00:38when he felt everything on the inside or not, you know, it doesn't change the fact
00:41that I felt like this was a game where he was either going to go scorched earth or do nothing,
00:45and he did nothing.
00:46Mets fans are going to continue to root for him every single game of this series
00:48more than any other player that's playing, which is crazy when you consider the fact
00:52that he's not on the New York Mets, and the Mets have a whole team here.
00:55That's playing, right?
00:56Jonah Ton's pitching against Pete Alonzo, and you have fans going up against Ton
01:00like he's the enemy today.
01:01It's crazy, but that's the kind of impact that Pete Alonzo had on this fan base, clearly,
01:05and not only with losing him, not properly replacing him, but adding a salt in the wound
01:10that the Mets have been such, unfortunately, a below-average baseball club
01:14for the past calendar year, that has really not helped it either, you know?
