Transcript

00:00what do you think of uh the mats where they are and your thoughts on soto getting let's face it

00:08shafted no guy's ever had those kind of numbers and not made an all-star game now i get it everybody

00:13has to have a player on the team but i think it's ridiculous that guy's got to be at the all-star

00:18game in fact we looked at his odds today for mvp second to tani but he's not in the all-star game

00:24make it make sense scotty listen there's no business juan soto should be sitting at home over

00:29the next few days and for what it's worth i know he gets a decent chunk of change if he ends up at

00:35the all-star game uh if i were him i didn't make it the first time i'm going to miami i'm going to the

00:40dr to hell with the all-star game i'm not going if you're not going to put me there over the likes of

00:44the marlin outfielder or tatis i mean give me a break that said when it comes to the mets i think

00:50they're in a solid spot in the nles they're right there with the phillies they need serious life

00:56within their pitching staff they need a starter they need sanga and minaya to come back and be

01:01effective and this bullpen just let him down in game number one now i don't know what the manager

01:05was doing taking david peterson out and throwing a seven inning shutout at 91 pitches i don't know why

01:10he can't go and start the eighth inning but i'm not the manager of the team david stern's got to be

01:15aggressive at this deadline you don't know how many years of a window you're going to have

01:20whitland door alonzo and soto all in prime years i know in theory oh it's the next three it's the

01:25next four it's the next five you don't know that you got a chance to win it all this year you got to

01:30be aggressive at the deadline mets be pitching they also could use a bat in center field i know he had

01:35a hit today and it was an rbi tyron taylor's got a 500 ops ain't good enough need need an offensive

01:42infusion at that position i think what uh polar bears done has been incredible and to think that they

01:49essentially didn't want him he was a step he had one foot in the door in toronto and they wanted him

01:56and imagine him on that team that's kicking the yankees ass now in the al east alonzo's been great

02:03for him do you think um he's gonna keep that up and and put up huge numbers in this two-year deal that

02:10he got he got a two-year deal right and do you think they're better than the yankees they beat him

02:14two or three in the subway who's the better team in new york the yankees look kind of average to me

02:20i couldn't believe how quickly the the jays sailed by him a couple weeks ago scotty i would have told

02:26you the yankees but now they're dealing with serious pitching problems they lose court schmidt

02:30for the year obviously they don't have garrett cole they're trying to piece together their rotation

02:36their bullpen leaves a lot to be desired offensively speaking though the yankees have a deeper lineup than

02:42the mets you want to tell me you like the big four or whatever cohen's calling them the fab four i

02:47kind of like the big three plus b out of the fab four is the beatles okay there's no other fab four

02:51let's just leave it at that okay um one through eight in the lineup i went through nine in the lineup i

02:57like the yankees a little bit more but the met lineups a little bit more top heavy here's why i think

03:03the mets are more likely they're going to be more aggressive at this deadline i think they will be far

03:09more willing to take on payroll i think they will go and make a monster move or two i know the

03:15yankees have been aggressive at the deadline but the american league all of a sudden now is better

03:19than people think detroit is the real deal they're going to be a pain in the neck to deal with the

03:24astros are not messing around uh you look at tampa bay and their run differential i know they've

03:28struggled the last week all of a sudden people looking at the al saying oh it's a given yankees in

03:33a world series yankees in a world series not so fast on that so i think the mets for what it's worth

03:37to the better team
