• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Why are you talking baseball? Loved it? Guy bitching me
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: out for talking about baseball. The chill out, dude. It's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks in the off season we
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: talked baseball. The Winter Meetings are now over. If there's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: anything good, we'll talk about it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But the Wintermings did wrap up at a Mickey Mouse
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: resort where they give out NBA championships there in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Greater Orlando area, and the great Polar Bear migration is underwey.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: If you had pin Alonzo going back to the Mets,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you're a loser. If you have not heard, possibly not
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: pin Alonzo, who drove from Tampa over to Orlando on
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I four to try to seduce with.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: His hypnotic skills a big money offer. It worked. It worked.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: He's so charming, He's Prince Charming, pied Alonzo, and he
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: talked the socks off Baltimore. The Orioles agreed to pay
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: ped Alonzo one hundred and fifty five million dollars after taxes.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: That's about twelve bucks, but still it's.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: A lot of money and a five year contract for Alonzo,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: affectionately known as the Polar Bear. He joins the last
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: place team, bringing up the rear the Caboose of the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: American Leagueese at least last season, Alonzo, who was on
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: a one year make good contract after threatening to leave
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the Mets a year ago. He went out hit thirty
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: eight dingers, one hundred and twenty six runs batted in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: It's big bounce back year. He bet on himself and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Mets thought, well, that's a good bet.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: We're not paying you. Get out of here, you loser.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So thirty one years old, just had a birthday on Sunday.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Actually, we don't do shout outs. That's mentioned.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That's a mention to mention, So happy birthday to pen Alonzo.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: On to mention on Sunday, the all time New York
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Mets franchise home run king. As I said, turn out
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the lads, the parties over. I earned All Star honors
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: five times in each of the last four years.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So Pete Alonso leaving as a fan favorite for the Mets,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and now with of course any league play.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: We've been around for a number of years that he
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: will be back every other year. He will play at
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: City Field and play the Yankees of course a couple
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: times a year in the New York market. So that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss better
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: story is in the losing locker room. So that is
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: where we're going to start in this case, the losing
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: front office. So the question what does Pete Alonzo's departure
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: tell you about the New York Mets and their culture?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: So my views on this, I've got lemonade stand, googly eyes,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and beach front condo, and we'll combine all of these
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: things together and we're going to make some French onion soup,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: which is one of the great soups. I'm not a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: big soup guy. Every once in a while I'll go
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: for some nice soup and.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: A French onion amazing.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know where your favorite Let me know where
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: your favorite French onion place is, because I'm looking for
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: a good French onion place and I.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Do travel, so all right.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: First of all, so to answer the question what does
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Peter Alonzo's departure tell you about the Mets culture? This
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: is the Mets full cultural colonoscopy.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: For the Mets. The Mets culture is getting a colonoscary.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: This is proof that something is rotten to the core
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: in Flushing. What a perfect name for a baseball team
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to play in a town called Flushing. So the Mets
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: fans right now, many of them are sitting shiva for
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo and his departure. This is a two by
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: four right to the forehead for the New York Mets. Now,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we had heard whispers that this was gonna happen. It
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: wasn't a total shock that Alonzo was leaving. He clearly
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: was desperate to leave the Mets. He didn't have any
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: offer from the Mets because he went to the winter meetings.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He didn't have any offer that really convinced him to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: go somewhere, Otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the Winter meeting.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: So this came together in the last couple of days,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and the whispers around the Mets were fractured. Clubhouse clicks,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: side eye stairs, all the normal gunk in a fractured
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And so this off season, a couple of moves that
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: have happened this week with Met free agentsy is confirmation
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Because if you like Steve Cohen, mister twenty three billion
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: dollar net worth hedge fund, Wall Street high roller, mister
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: money is no object.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the Mets great.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to the World Series in this number,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: he just let a homegrown fan favorite walk without even
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: making an offer. The tabloids are telling us that the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Mets did not even make an offer to Pete A. Lonzo,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: not even a token offer, no offer.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Now, if that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Is true, and we don't know, we're not there, it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: all speculations. That is, that's a big city team in
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the Big Apple running a little league lemonade stand. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: don't ignore the subtext. Also because Edwin Diaz also said later, skater,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here, asta pasta, and he left. He
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: he went to the Dodgers. So you got Edwin Diez,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the greatest closer in Mets history, who's now with the Dodgers,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo, the all time home run hitter in Mets history,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: who is now with the Baltimore Orioles. And it feels,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: based on a minutes long deliberation of the available information,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna put my psychologist hat on here as a shrink.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It seems that the.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: New York Mets, what they're doing here is cow towing
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to Juan Soto. They're clearing out anyone who did not
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: kiss his toukis kiss the ring of the New face
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: of the franchise, right, Juan Soto strolling in.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: There, and Peter A. Lonzo.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I've been with the Mets longer than you. I'm mister
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Met and Edwin did come on now. And so the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: old guard, the old guard New York Mets got getting
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: chopped away like dead wood. Also a trade the Mets
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: made with the Rangers, another longtime fan favorite.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Met was traded away. So that's three.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's a two pillars, and like a partial pillar of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the Mets that have been sent out of town. It's
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a Benny the Butcher style. Benny the Butcher styles where
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: that is. And so now you've got this giant chasm
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the size of city field for the Mets. They've got
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to get a you know, they did sign Devin Williams,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: but he sucks, and they've got to get some more
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: bullpen help. They need more pitching, and they obviously have
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to replace Pete Alonzo. And among the early names being floated,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Lars Nootbar, and yeah, it's a good name.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I would rather have a Watcher mccallad or a three Musketeers,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: or a Snickers Bar or a butter Finger. The Cardinals
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Lars nootbar. The Mets need a splash. I don't think
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they need a candy bar. That's the word on the street.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Secondly to the Baltimore side of things, the question on
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the Orioles, how much better does pen Alonzo make the Orioles?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So the O's did not just add the polar Bear, right,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it's at the polar Bear.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: They added a turbo boost to a lineup that And
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch every Oriols game, obviously, why would I?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a total loser, but I did
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: see a fair amount.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I love those early games, you know, I do the
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: show from LA Those games start at four o'clock. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: love watching those games early on and watch the fair
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: amount of Orioles Yankees games and Red Sox games there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: And you look at the Orioles last season and that lineup,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it looked like they were surviving on celery and optimism.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: There wasn't a lot there, So how much better do
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: they get? Climb a couple of rungs on the baseball ladder,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a couple of rungs, but maybe they even sneak into
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the balcony. You can climb up the side like Spider Man.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Spider Man, Spider Man. Now the Malard report card. I'm
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: gonna hand the Orioles a bet on the malt Of
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: report card because they paid retail, they paid the full amount,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: they didn't get a discount and all that stuff.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And Alonzo.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give Peede Alonzo on the Mallow report card
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: an a plus because he used some skullduggery to bamboozle
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: his way to Baltimore. He went to the Winter Minis.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: He didn't have this offer. He wouldn't have gone to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the Winter Mintings if he had this offer. He was
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: able to get some FaceTime and like the snake Charmer
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: we said he would be and convince the Oriols to give.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Him more money and more years and all that stuff.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And so that's what he got. So I give Alonzo
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: an a plus. He walks into Camden Yards.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Like a guy who just upgraded from a studio apartment
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to a beachfront condo.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: He said, well, what are you talking about? The Metro
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: better than the Orioles.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Well, city Field though, when you do the side by side,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and my guy sports with Coleman's already been sending me
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: some propaganda that the home run rate from city Field,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: which is like a refrigerated warehouse. To Camden Yards is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: like it's a pinball machine there where baseballs go to
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: a enlightenment. And so Alonzo, if he just has the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: same year head last year we hit seven more home runs,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: had forty five home runs. Now, let's not let's not
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: forget the will the beast in the room, and the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: fact that Alonzo is thirty one years old and he's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: entering the part of his baseball the cycle of life
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: in baseball, the career arc where generally the production goes down.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Outside of the steroid era, the production goes down. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: yet despite that, for the short terms, you've got the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: micro and the macro. The micro things are looking pretty
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: good for Baltimore. The macro, well, we'll worry about that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: when we get there. The computer models, the old Solace machines,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: say that Pete Alonso by himself is worth three to
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: five wins.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: So you've just added five more wins to your total. Congratulations,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that's what they say. However, if you look at the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: trickle down on all this, Alonzo protects Gunner Henderson in as.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: The he'd be the cleanup hitter. Pet Alnzo in my
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Orioles lineup Adlee Rushman as well.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: He freeze Rushman, gives the whole lineup kind of a
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: chiro practic adjustment in Baltimore. And so does he make
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: them a ninety five win team? Again, Well, they could,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: he could.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Could's a weasel word that executives use before they raise
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: syst in ticket prices. And that's really what this move
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: is more about than anything. Yeah, Alonso makes the Orioles
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: three or five games better. It's the battle of perceptions.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: That's the big battle. It's a pr move. You gotta
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: sell tickets. Those tickets don't sell themselves. You gotta get
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: ratings on television to make advertisers happy. And so it's
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a literal power move for the Baltimore Orioles.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: They're telling their fan base like, hey, you know, we're trying.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: We're alive.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: We suck last year, but we're punching. We're punching. We're
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: not doing load management. We're not tanking any That's all right.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Final thought. Now, the buzz from the Winter meetings as.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: They came to an end on Wednesday at a Mickey
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Mouse resort in Orlando or the Orlando area, was that
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Ace Tarik schoolb much to the chagrin of legally blind
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Christopher in London, a former Michigander who's an ex pat
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: now living in London. But the buzz at the winter
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: meetings is that Tarik school Ball was dangled on a
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: fishing rod to the other twenty nine MLB teams. Of course,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the members of the cartel. There's only about seven, is
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: that right? Seven teams that would even bother bidding on
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a guy like Tarik schoolbel the Big Whales.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: That's about it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Like Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers that's four cubs, that's five.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Fill the Giants in there, that's six, and then seven
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: would be who seven.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Would be like the Rangers. Maybe maybe the Rangers.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Oh way, listen, they're circling the boat like Hungary Shark's question.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Will the Detroit Tigers really trade to Reek schoolble between
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: now and opening day in the spring of twenty twenty six?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: So the Mallard Sportsbook odds on the Tigers trading to
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Reek School, Well, I'm gonna set the odds on this
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: at plus nine hundred. That is a ten percent chance,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: which means it's not probable. However, it's certainly not absolutely impossible.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Right, it's not probable.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It's it's possible, but not you know, it's somewhere in
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that kind of gray area. I'm saying this the right way.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: But here's why, because Detroit did not just listen. If
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the whispers are correct, they actually engaged.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They played foot seat, they flirted it. They made googly
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: eyes at the Dodgers, and they got all the they
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: got a little chubby.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: They're looking at all the minor league players that the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Dodgers could send to them. It's a nice sampler plate
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: of players, most of them that will not live up
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to expectations that you could get. And so they took
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the car for a test drive. Well, they weren't just
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: window shopping the Tigers. They took the car for a
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: test drive, and they smelled the carpet and the leather
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff, and they kind of felt how
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the steering wheel feels.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And all that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And so now there are better odds that Tarik Scooble
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: gets Dell then gets extended.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: The malarods on the.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers ace of aces getting an extension that's at
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: plus forty five hundred.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: That is a two percent chance.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: That is a two percent chance, which is basically the
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: same probability as me becoming the next president of FIFA.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty confident that people at FIFA don't know who
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I am and are certainly not going to call me.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: But Scuba wants four hundred million. Of course I also

• 28:39
  Speaker 9: play the matter. We were talking about that showdown at

  Speaker 9: some point. But it's really, you know, one of those
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: things where you just pet along. Yeah, one hundred and
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: fifty five million dens to five years, and it's just

• 28:55
  Speaker 9: of the part of the team and really playful and
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: so on.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, oh, this is the bets.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: The Mets better figure out how to win, because if
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: they don't win, and these guys are playing well for
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers and the Orioles, they'll never hear.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: The end of it. They're gonna be just roasted.
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: Good point. Yeah, New York fans, man, they're not. That's
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: a good point you just made.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exact exactly so. And it's not like they don't
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: have the money. If it'd be one thing, if they
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: didn't have the money, he'd be like, Okay.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: They don't have the money whatever, You're fine. But they
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: got one of the richest owners in all of sports.

  Speaker 2: This guy, this guy so loaded. My god, he goes
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: in the bathroom, he makes ten million dollars. This guy's
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: so rich.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: So oh, uncle Steve, they call.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Him, you know, as a Mets fan, the whole thing.
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: That's right.
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: So I don't know, you know, there's a lot of
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: explaining to do here, and you know, David sterns well, I.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Actually, by the way, I just looked at the schedule
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: because that's what we do here, the Baltimore Orioles.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Check this out.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Now that the Orioles do play at City Field in
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six in September, so it's late in the season.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: September fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth Mets and they host the
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Orioles at Cityfield, So that'll be a big series.
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: Right before my Virgo birthday. And that should be interesting
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: because September, that's from you know, teams are heading towards
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: the playoffs or not.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and that there's only after that.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: The Orioles will only have nine games left after that series,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: so that's late.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: That's real late in the baseball season for sure.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: So either pen Alonzo could be spoiler or the Mets
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: can spoil him and the Orioles.
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: So yeah, no, that's that's a good way to put
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: in there. I heard you allude to cosmic energy earlier
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: in the show.
