Joey Duffield 0:00
All one! R two. R three. Podcast doesn't exist, episode 74, the final. Regular season podcast officially for this podcast. I'm sure there'll be many other podcasts being recorded between now and next week, but there is one week left in the MLB season. And boy, was it a fun ride for a lot of teams. Actually, a shit ride for another a lot of other teams who sucked ass. Um, some teams have had great years, some teams are the New York Mets, some teams are the Colorado. Rockies. Mitchell. You think the Rockies are gonna get to a hundred losses?
Mitchell (Mitch) 0:41
I did not realize that they're that close to it. Ninety nine
Joey Duffield 0:44
losses for the Colorado Rockies. Would you say they're the most disappointing team in baseball?
Mitchell (Mitch) 0:49
No.
Joey Duffield 0:49
Which you would say would probably be?
Mitchell (Mitch) 0:51
Probably like the Mets. But This week Pirates were eliminated. I feel like that was a pretty big disappointment.
Joey Duffield 0:58
Huge disappointment for the Pirates. Um, you got teams like that who had high expectations or relatively high expectations who fumbled the bag because the Paul Skins decided to pitch in the World Baseball Classic. We don't have to get that right away, but Paul Skins did come out and say his velocity might have been because of the classic. It's fucked up to blame the classic, but he's blaming the classic. I wouldn't blame the classic. But what do I know? I've never been in the classic. Either way, one week before the MOB playoffs, uh the two biggest stars in MOB are currently injured. That's fucking bullshit. Sorry for cursing, but uh Shohei and Judge, one of them's worse than the other, but we'll get to that.
Joey Duffield 1:37
Two um Other thing the most lovable team in M will be is currently choking. The White Sox America's team. Is um actually not playing like America's team. They might lose the division. They might be out of a playoff spot. I doubt it, but they might not win the division, which would be a heartbreaking loss. Uh 51-year-old Ichiro Suzuki just struck out a bunch of high school girls. Clap it up for that. Uh wouldn't be the first time he's done that. And the biggest disappointments in baseball have had their green dreams. Dreams. Their green dreams. Their green dreams have been crushed. One of those teams. Would be the New York Mets, um, who have been out of the playoffs for a while, but they just put a cherry on top of their disappoint pointing season, bringing in their um former lover, P.
Joey Duffield 2:30
Alonzo. Um to they're back to he came back home and um It got ugly. Mets fans just actively rooted for a player to beat the Mets, which is a something you don't really see every day. Obviously, Pete Alonzo was a Mets legend, won two home run derbies for the Mets. Everyone remembers that. Seven years in New York. All time leader, Mets Homers. I didn't realize that. That's a lot. That's pretty crazy. But I
Mitchell (Mitch) 2:56
mean the the bar was kind of low.
Joey Duffield 2:58
Why? Who's second place? David Wright?
Mitchell (Mitch) 3:00
I don't even remember. It was like three hundred no two two hundred and sixty homers was the threshold.
Joey Duffield 3:06
Surprised David Wright doesn't have it.
Mitchell (Mitch) 3:07
His back kinda ruined that chance.
Joey Duffield 3:09
Yeah, what a bitch. Sorry for cursing. Um, the Mets offered him a big contract. He turned it down in 2024, had that crazy playoff run for the Mets. This is when he became uh cemented himself as a Mets legend, killed Bob Euchre and beat the Brewers. Uh, opted out of his contract after that year, signed a one-year deal with the Mets to come back last year and had a great season. last year. Actually I'm not even did he have a great season last year? He did. Cool. I just wanted to double check. He had a great season last year, better than what the Mets thought he was gonna do. So after that, he opts out of his contract, becomes a free agent, gets a five-year, $155 million deal with the Orioles. The Mets weren't even willing to go more than three.
Joey Duffield 3:51
So the Mets said, hit the road, dude. Hit the road, dude. It's just pr pr private property. That's what the Mets kicked him out of City Field. Um Went down south to Baltimore and had 35 home runs this year. Maybe even has more now. Hundred RBIs. He leads the AL in uh RBIs. And uh the Mets, on the other hand, their first baseman have negative point five war combined.
