Terminello's Take as the Mets Make the Postseason in 2024 and Why Was Aaron Rodgers Cadence Even Questioned 10-1-24 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: All right, well, Lou Turmanello, it's Terminello's take. And you
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: had told me time and time and time again this team,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the New York Mets, would not make the postseason. Yet
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: here we are they have clinched a playoff berth in
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Game one sixty one against the Braves. Francisco Lindor, Oh
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: my goodness, Oh my god. I guess I would say, Lou,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: welcome to the show. Welcome to Terminiello's take. But how
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: excited are you that you were? Actually, you know, you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: might have been a little surprised that the Mets won
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it and made the playoffs.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think that they had the staying power,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: especially after that when he lost two out of three
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to Oakland at home. I thought they were in trouble.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: They lost two out of three to the Angels on
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that previous road trip, they got wept by the Mariners. So, Alex,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and again thank you for having me. As always, I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: thought that they were going to fall just short. But
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they were a gritty, gutty team. And we've heard gritty
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: duddy many times before in sports, but they really are.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: They really were, and Lindeorge's back, as you found out
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: post game, is still not one. But he rose, He
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: rose his game.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It's almost like a Kirk Gibson like home run in
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that instance, right because even he had a bad back
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: at that homey and Lindor does that yesterday for the Mets.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And why I mentioned the World Series that reference there
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: is because I do feel like this was the Mets
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: World Series for a second, just because of no one
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: thought they even get in.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Right, nobody thought they would be close. You know, We've
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: talked about a thousand times on uh the podcast, this
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was the reset year, reset the organization. Yeah, we'll be
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: competitive this year, but and then we'll take get from
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: there in twenty five on. But nobody, not even David Sterns.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And David Sterns who did a good job fortifying the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: team during the season when there was bullpen injuries, he
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: fortified the bullpen. He got Jesse Winker, he got Filmmaton,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: who was a terrific relief pitcher for the Mets since
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: they gone from Tampa Bay. He brought up Jose and Galacis,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: who has been a remarkable discovery for the Mets. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe that he was in the minor leagues
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: all last year. Is a fourteen year major league player
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: who couldn't find his way onto a major league roster
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: because of analytics, because he didn't he didn't live up
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to the analytic profile. But so kudos too to David Sterns.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The Mets and Mortar competitive. Nobody thought they would win
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: eighty nine games. Nobody thought they come close to that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And after the first six weeks when you know, even
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Lindor was back in one fifty and Lindor is just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a better player now than when he was when he
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: first came to the Mets, and he was a, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a star with the Indians, but he matured with age.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: He is definitely the leader with a team. He hit
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in my estimation, and I've seen the entire Met history,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: with the exception of the first two years, where but
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: from sixty four on, I have a very good uh
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: grasp of New York Mets history. That was the greatest
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: home run in UH Mets rate pular season history. There's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I mean I can't think of another one. Yes, the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: nine to eleven one was very special, but.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Right, it was special, but the Mets were still three
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: games out. They they didn't win.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, and it's it's Uh, it was quite a moment,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: by the way, breaking news and AGAs uh.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Going to the well yeah, I just actually I just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: up Gonzaga said to join PAC twelve in all sports.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So that's interesting. I know, the Big twelve was going
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: after Gonzaga for basketball for the longest time, and I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: guess geographically the PAC twelve makes more sense.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Oh it does anyway, So there's that little breaking news.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: But no, the Mets in and here's the thing. They
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: have nothing well against Milwaukee at all. In fact, if
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, Milwaukee handed them, you know, their first
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: few losses. It felt like right it was.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They got swept a city field that first weekend in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: UH that that first week ind the season, which was
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the last season, the last weekend of March. The trouble
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that the Mets are going to have is something that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they've had throughout the six games that they played Milwaukee
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: this year, controlling their running game.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: UH.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Pitchers have to be more aware of the running game.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: The Brewers have taken advantage of the new rule of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know of the UH the two the two pickoff
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: attempts and then uh, the third you don't get them.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's a book and the Brewers have done that expertly.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They've done it against the Mets. Two a huge detriment
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to the Mets. And Mets have to control their running
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: game if they want to have any chance for their
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: season to go past Thursday. And it's still.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Because they've read Alvarez and Torren's well or what is it?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I think I think it's uh the new rule. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: think it's it's pictures uh not being able to hold
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: them on and it's more than just to catch it
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: because Torrents had Torrens has a tremendous arm. SODA's album
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is but uh, it's gonna I'm sure the Mets are
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: talking about that today in in the clubhouse in the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: hotel one before the game starts today. But this is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough. This is gonna be very tough for
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the Mets to win because they don't have it. They
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: don't have a day off. The bullpen has shot. You're
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: not gonna see Diz tonight. He pitched Sunday, he pitched, uh, yesterday,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: twenty six pitches yesterday. Film Aiton Who's who is the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: setup guy? Pitched three straight days. So I have no
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: idea what the Mets are going to do tonight. Uh,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: sever Reno has to give them length tonight. He has
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to have command. He can't be at eighty pitches in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the fourth inning. That that would that will kill the Mets.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But by the way, Severino is like his turnaround though,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: because we were there the first weekend and he was
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: not looking good against the Brewers. He you know, there
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: was a little thing about it, whether it was in
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: shape or not, and then all of a sudden he
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: turns it around mid July. What was there from your perspective?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: What was the there was the reason of the turnaround
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: from Louis.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Well, Louis, I mean, I think you gotta give Jeremy Heffner,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the Mets pitch pitching coach, a lot of credit for
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: developing and redeveloping some of these veteran pitchers. When the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Mets got signed several Reno, I said, okay, Matt, same
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: thing when I got Sean Manaiah. Look, look David Peterson,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: we're waiting and waiting and waiting for him to contribute.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And he had a terrific year. And remember he missed
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the first seven weeks of the season, So I think
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you gotta cred Hefner. I know that Manaia changes his
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: arm angle and Severno knows this would have been his
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: last chance. Now he has a chance, he may. He
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: signed a one year deal for thirteen million. Now at
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the end of this year, he's going to get more
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: than thirteen million a year, that's for sure. So I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: mean I think, I mean, I think the Mets organization
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in the offseason targeted certain pictures that they think could
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: could help the team without breaking the bank. And I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: don't think in modern baseball right now, at least in
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: this year of baseball. Maybe in the future it'll change back.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think you spend huge money for pictures. So
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll see what's gonna happen with a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: guy like burns On Baltimore who's a free agent and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he's their best picture. He's gonna be a free agent.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I wonder how much money he's going to get, how
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: much how many years, which is more even more important
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: than how much money's gonna get. But the Mets have
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: done a great job. Hefner and Carlos Mendoza always calm
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: on the bench. He is ten doesn't get rattled, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I think you could see the chemistry between him, him
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and the team again tomorrow night around eleven o'clock or
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: ten o'clock. The Mets season maybe over, but.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I thin think the Metsican fans got revel
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in it as they can right now by the way,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you know, talk about the good moves they also did.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I think calling up Luis Angel like unya, what a
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: what a turning point. And also you know j D.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Martinez coming back as you mentioned, really good timing for that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I just made the right moves
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: throughout the season to get here, and that included setting
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Baby down because at the time Baby was struggling.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, and and then he had a very good rest
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of the season at Syracuse and then probably would have
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: been on the roster, but he broke his hand and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: so well, but that's for next year and in the offseason.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: This is for tonight and tomorrow night. Even if the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Mets lose too straight and it's over, what a successful
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: season for the Mets. I don't like the fact that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: major League Baseball can't push this series back and along
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: with the Braves and the Padres back one more day
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, they got to play today. It really
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it's not the best for competitive baseball. Now the Mets
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: could go in and blow Milwaukee out tonight. I just
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: don't think it's I just don't think it's good for
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the game and Major League Baseball totally screwed up the situation.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't have had to play. Yes see, they should
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have had this played Monday and Tuesday of last week
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: when they knew this horrific hurricane was coming. So we'll see.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: The Mets need to get need to get some key
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: production from Jamie de Martinez. Then god, he came out
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: as over thirty six slump with a couple of hits.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know his slump is over. They got to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: get they got.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Viento's arguably the call up of the year.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Mark Fiente's no question the call up of the year.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, what this guy has done in four more months.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: If he had been here for all six months, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he probably should have made the team from the from
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the get go. But he looks like a veteran. He
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't look scared. We'll see what happens in these two games.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is good experience, no matter what happens now.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: It was it good that they faced the Birds just
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: a few days ago. What I mean by that is,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: isn't it a good thing? And maybe they can get
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: back in there? And as from what happen and over
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the weekend, I.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Think that there could be some validity to that. You
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: know that they that they didn't play them in sick
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Remember they played them the first series of the season
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and the last series of the season, and uh, in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: those six months a lot of things changed, a lot
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of things changed for the Mets. We know that. So
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that they played that they that they played
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: just two days ago, yeah, I think that might that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: might be an advantage to the Mets.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I also think we're gonna see how hot these wild
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: card series are because some of these teams, when they
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: get off the wild Card Series and win it, you
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: know they've gone all the way right.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even you know, I don't like to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: pick predict stuff. I'm not picking any anybody. Anything can
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: happen these two out of three series. So whether it's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Baltimore and the Royals, the Braves, the Padres, or the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Astros and the Tigers, I'm I'm not going to even
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: try to pick them. All I know is if somebody
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: wants to pick off two teams that I think can
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: get to the World Series, the Padres and the Astros,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it's it could happen in a two out of three series.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I love the Padres moving forward, I really do.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Oh Jackson Merril is gonna be Rookie of the Year,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: no doubt about it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: You know they got they got a fantastic bullpen the Padres.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And I gotta say, uh, it seems like it seems
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: like the Padres and Yankees benefited from that trade. I mean,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: ready thought it was crazy, but you know, Sodo going
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Yashioka changing up to culture for the Padres, I think
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: it worked. It worked out for both teams at the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: end of the day, and here they are. I mentioned
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: so because the Yanks now off till Saturday. And I
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: think if you're the Yankees, you're a little nervous, not nervous,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: but if you're the fan base, you gotta be nervous.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: If it's the Orioles taking over against the Royals. I
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: just think it'd be a little nervous if it's the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Orioles of the first round for the for the Yankees
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: in the Alds.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I think the Yankees are set up
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: pretty well. I mean, Cole has given them a couple
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: of good outings leading into the series. Judge, who was
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: on a home run drought there for a while, finished
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that those list ten days just starting starting to hit
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: bombs over and over. So he's been productive. Now it
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: all changes, It all changes on Saturday. I mean, I
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: think the Yankees have The Yankees path to the World
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Series is the best of any team that will be
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: playing in these playoffs. And uh, you know, we'll see.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, like we talked about before, Aaron Judge can't
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: be batting. You know, he's two eleven in the postseason.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It's time him to have a big postseason. And the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: odds are with him that he's going to to have
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: because the bigger part is he's got that support system.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: He's got Soto, he's got Stid, he's got a better
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: glabor tourist. He's even got a jazzism that could actually
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: contribute to this team, no doubt. And Austin will Wells
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: could be work of the Year. But man, what a
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: great great uh you know, I don't know who was drafted,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: but what a great acquisition. By Brian Casher, because he's
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: really turned out well for the Yankees behind the plate.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So we'll have to see. I see Ben Rice is
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: making the playoff roster because of Rizzo. Did you see that?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, I don't know how much Ben Rice
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: can contribute. I mean he battled around one seventy. He
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: had that one signature moment where he does three home runs.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's ready for prime time playoffs.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: But the Yankees have no choice. To you the first
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: basement and and Risela Unfortunately, that kid can't get a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: catch a break, has two broken fingers. And I guess
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: maybe if they get through the next round, this first round,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: maybe he'll be ready for the championship series. We'll have
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to wait and see. But even though Rizzo hasn't contributed offensively,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he's still a presence.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: And defensive first and all that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And defensively, whether he's hitting or not, he contributes defensively.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's let's you mentioned running games, so
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: let's go into the NFL, because only that's a term
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: asssue with the NFL. And I gotta say Lou, I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: gotta say Lou and to nine and to night against
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: losing the Denver bo Nicks, who really has struggled a
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: little bit here in his first few weeks as a
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Denver bronco Uh, he looked like he outplayed Rogers.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I remember play Rogers was because they were terrible.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Hedn't now played Rogers. Bow Knicks was horrendous on Sunday.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: The Jets losing that game Sunday was horrendous. That was
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: on the coaching staff. The fact that the coaching staff
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: couldn't get them ready to play is unacceptable and in extreme.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I say that, I fire up. That's why I said that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: So lace into the Jets right.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Now, and Alex, you're one hundred percent right. They deserve
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to be laced into. I have no idea what the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: coaching staff was doing, what the defensive coordinator was doing.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The week before against New England, he blitzed were set
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty seven times. He blitzed this kid four times.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: This kid completed seven passes in the first half for
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: minus seven yards. It's an unex inexcusable performance by the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Jets offensively, defensively, I mean the defensively. Let me take
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that back. Offensively, defense held him ten points. They held
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: him to one hundred and sixty yards. Yeah, they got
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: gashed on a little bit in the second half with
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: a running game up the middle. Williams did a nice
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: job of running up the middle. They they blew the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: third and seven which resulted in the touchdown. There was
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: miscommunications and Courtland center was wide open. But I'm gonna
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: tell you one thing. Aaron Rodgers dropped back to pass
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: fifty one times in the game. He got hit nineteen
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: five sacks, fourteen hits. Alex, I don't care if your
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: quarterback is forty. I don't care if your quarterback is
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: twenty two like Jayden Daniels or or or one of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: those these young studs. You can't let your quarterback get
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: hit nineteen times. And everybody knows Denver Blitzer is more
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: than any team in the NFL. And the Jets looked
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: like they had never seen a Blitzer in my life.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: He was running for his life. They're lucky he didn't
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: heating get hurt and like he did last year. And
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the field conditions and the weather was terrible, But that's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: no excuse for the Jets losing. Did it contribute to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: an awful game? Yes, it absolutely, absolutely contribute to your
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: awful game. But the Jets have no excuse. They have
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: no kick coming. There is no way they should have
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: lost that game on Sunday. They didn't get into the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: end zone. That's on the offense. And if you want
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to blame Rogers, if you want to blame the offensive line.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Thirteen accepted penalties, five pre snap penalties, just just awful.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: No creativity by Hackett. Who is who is Aaron Rodgers' guy?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: That's his guy. But that hot more performances like this
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and that Robert Sala hot seat, which we talked about
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: at being in the year Alex is going to be steaming.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Oh I like that steaming hot seat, especially because he's
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: not handling a star quarterback well at all. It's just
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: they're not.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: QB Alex against New England and I know what New
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: England is challenged offensively, like Denver's challenge offensively, But that
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: game itself against New England, they look like everybody was
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: on the same page. They look coordinated. I don't know
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: if they thought they were going to just have to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: throw their helmets out on the field and beat Denver.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but that was that was one of
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the worst games, and I was there. That was one
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of the worst games. And I've seen a lot of
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: those type of games with the Jets, but that should
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: not happen with this, with this roster. This roster is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: too talented. I don't know why Garrett Wilson and Aaron
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Rodgers have no chemistry. I don't know what happened to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Breese Hall the other day. He missed the blitz and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: he got and Rogers got pancakes from behind. He dropped
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a pass, don't I don't get it, and I'm not
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I have no idea. This week they and
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: this week they're going to London to play a very
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: very good Minnesota team with a very good defense and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: with offense that's percolating thanks to former Jet Sam Donald,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: who it looks like he's found his way. I'm very
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: happy for the kid because I always knew the kid
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: could play.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: The other thing that came up was the cadence. So
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: you were there, Lou, Did you hear the cadence of
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers? Was it bothersome to you or what?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Well? It wasn't bothersome to me, and I had pretty
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: decent seats. But Alex for solid to talk about that
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: post game. That is absolutely mind boggling to me. You know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: like brag about how in training camp they had over
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: eight hundred snaps on offense with Rogers at quarterback, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: for Sala to say that, it's just ridiculous. And I
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: know he tried to couch it back yesterday, but that's ridiculous.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And look in the mirror, Robert Sala, because you may
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: not be the coach much longer, much longer. I don't
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: know if they'd make a change in the middle of
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the season, that's an overreaction. They are two and two,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the seasons still still has a long way to go.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Anything can happen in this league. Look look at some
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: of the games again that we saw this week. Tampa Bay,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: which got which got beaten by Denver the week before,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: by nineteen just absolutely annihilated Philadelphia at one point, the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Broncos at the Broncos. The Buccaneers had two hundred and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: fifty five yards. The Eagles had none. Yeah, I know
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: they were playing without their wide receivers. I know they
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: were playing without Laying Johnson. But something's wrong with Philly
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and it's gone back. It's gone back to last year.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: So Sirianni as we talked about the two coaches with
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the hottest seats, Robert Sala and Sirianni were at the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: beginning of the year, Alex, those hot seats are are hotter.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Now. I don't think this coach I'm about to bring
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: up is hot on the hot seat, Dable. I just
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: it seems like maybe he is. But I've kind of
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: told him back that because I feel like, now it's
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: about the un play performance and you gotta get the
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: balls from Daniel Jones. I don't care who you are.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Well, again, they could have been a little bit more creative. Uh,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: whether when the red zone for for for the offense.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying Dables on the hot seat, but I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: would say he's on the warm seat. I would I'd
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: say he's on the warm seat. He's not. He's not
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: getting a free pass. Uh. This year, we'll have to
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: we have to see how the rest of the season goes.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: They play in Seattle on Sunday. That's a winnable game.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, Detroit put forty two points on them last
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: on their defense last night, and golf was eighteen out
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of eighteen. Never happened in the NFL before and he
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: also caught a touchdown pass. So that's a memorable game
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: for golf. So the Giants have a winnable game. I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if it becomes a high scoring game, the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Giants could could match a team like Seattle. But that's
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a winnable game, no doubt about it. And I think
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: after that, I think they played the Bengals next week
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: at home on Sunday night. And you know, the Bengals
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: have been especially they're defensively poor. So again, the Giants
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: can win these games, but their roster to the jug
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to the MetLife ground screw.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Neil had to turn over the MetLife Blue to the
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Jet Green, you know, Big blueed Jet Green in the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: next couple of weeks here because they're doing back to
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: back there, you know, night night primetime game, so it'll
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: be interesting to see all that going on too.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, those guys are well versed in turning the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: field over those stadium workers.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I can't believe the Jets have one one one o'clock game.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: That is ridiculous to me.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: That's why, Alex, that's why I went to the game
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, because I'm not going at nine o'clock or
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: a dirty at night and the Moore that's for sure.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Now they might have some one o'clock games in December,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: depending on if they're flex into a night game or
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: or not so so we'll see. But getting back to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the Jets, Alex, that was a putrid performance on Sunday.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: But if if Zerline kicks it through as putrid as
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: it was, it's a way. Yeah.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: He's normally a reliable kicker. That's why I'm a shocked
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: he missed it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it is still fifty yards on the wet field
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: in the rain, and he just missed it. Just was
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: wide right. As a matter of fact, most of the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: way down the kick, it looked like it was gonna
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: go through and the fans in the end zone were cheering,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and then it just veered wide right. They shouldn't have
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: been in that position, Alex. They shouldn't have been in
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: that position.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, why right the the tri stage effected
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: did happen on on on the over the weekend because
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: even the Bills loss, and I thought that was a
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: shocking loss considering they were probably favorite heading in against
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the Ravens, weren't they.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: There were not, they were underdogs. They were two and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a half or three point underdogs, depending on your on
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: your favorite betting service. I actually thought the Ravens would
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: win Sunday night. But the Ravens are The Ravens are,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: like the Steelers, the two best organizations in the NFL.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And the Steelers lost to it at Indianapolis, which I
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: never thought would happen, Joe Flatto coming off the bench
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: to uh to lead them to victory. But yeah, no,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, the AFC is tough, and uh, we'll see,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll see what happens. But uh, I'm gonna
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say one other thing. I'm not gonna make
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a prediction, but if if Aaron Rodgers sees that this
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: coaching staff doesn't know what the hell they're doing, he
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: might he might retire to the uh, to the world
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of media, because somebody will hire him for media in
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a hurry. And he's because he talks well and he's
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: he is very very uh you know, he's got he's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: a deep thinker, he's so uh. So we'll see. But
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: that was a horrendous Jet performance on Sunday. I thought
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the Jets were past that, But as a long suffering
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Jets fan, I was kidding myself again.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, one last thing, speaking of long suffering,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the fight for Pete Rose to get in the Hall
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: of Fame. He now has to take that fight, you know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: unfortunately to the grave because he passed. And if they're
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: doing ducked Pete Rose now it would be so disingenuous.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Lou I mean, should have done hm while he was alive.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Kind of shocking news of that Pete Roses got dead
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: at eighty three. I was kind of surprised to hear that. Yesterday.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I was too. I mean, I have no idea if
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you just had a heart attack and or stroke. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: don't believe he was sick. He was sick. It was
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: not being publicized. The cause of death was not released
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: last night when it was announced that he had passed away.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I saw his entire career. He was a fantastic player.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: He made himself a fantastic player. He was always working.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He ran to first base in an exhibition game in
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: sixty three, which he was in a nationally Brookie of
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the year. They were playing the Yankees in spring training
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: in those days. That was the young time he played
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: interleague besides besides the World Series and Whitey Ford and Mantle.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle saw him run the first base on the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: wall and said, look at Charles, and they said it
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: in a negative way, look at that guy, Charlie Hustle.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Well that that nickname stuck forever in a positive way.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: With Pete Rose, I mean four thousand, two hundred and
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: fifty six hits All timer, he was the MVP of
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: in seventy three. He was a seventy five World Series MVP.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: King was an All Star at five different positions Alex
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: He played first, he played second, he played third, he
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: played left, he played right, two golden gloves, A seventeen
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: time All Star, a forty four game Hanging Street. The
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: guy was a spectacular player, and of course his on
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: field performance deserves one hundred percent approval into the Baseball
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. I think he had suffered enough. He
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: was banned from baseball and eighty nine August of eighty nine, Yes,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: he did a lie saying you never bet on this team,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and then about ten years ago said yeah, I did.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: But there comes a point where you have to separate.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: He suffered enough, in my opinion. And the thing is
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball in the Hall of Fame has a
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: lot of his artifacts. I think the back that he
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the forty four game hitting streak, things like that,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: But they don't have the guy in there, and I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: think I think he should be in. But now, as
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: you and I agree with you, if they put him
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: in now, they would look like a bunch of frauds.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: And it is disingenuous. But Alex a joy to watch,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: A joy to watch, I.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Can only imagine. All Right, lud Terminal, thanks for joining
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Terminala's take for this week, and LGM all those are

• 30:03
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean I have no idea what's gonna happen.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's going to be a challenge for
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the for the Mets to get out of this two
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: out of three. Like I said, the season's been successful
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: no matter what happens. But I'm gonna tell you one
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: thing they can get if they get out of this series.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Watch out watch Out.
• 30:22
