Mets Triumph Over Padres; Stock Shines in MLB Recap

The New York Mets who have played some pretty good baseball Mets defeated the San Diego Padres today So they picked up a win there my guy Robert stock had a really nice start again Ended up pitching four plus innings gave up just one run and held the Padres bats at bay So stocks done a good job for the Mets outside of one start. He's been really good So I think I may have nailed that one Mets end up taking that game there And yeah, Paul Skeens did not pitch well in case you missed it earlier today You know, I as I said, I don't just don't think there's gonna be a fix for this at least initially But the good news for the Pirates is the bullpen Really came through for them and then Brandon Lau hit a walk-off home run for the Pirates who were trying to hang it around In this wild-card picture currently on fan graphs their odds are less than 5% to get into the playoffs But at least a win for them today has them feeling a little bit better And then the one game that Joe and I will be following while we're on the air today We actually have two games but the first that's going on right now is in the fourth inning Peyton Tolley who is Having this magical season for the Boston Red Sox and it just continues Boy, it feels like Arizona may have hit this big snag with no Cattell Marte because they absolutely can't score Lost yesterday losing today two to nothing to the Red Sox in the fourth inning and then we'll throw out the first pitch in Philadelphia as the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Marlins The Phillies going for the sweep and the Marlins behind Sandy Alcantara hoping to get one win in this series So let's bring in Joe Ranieri here for the next couple of hours and Joe. I know quite busy in your world right now Congratulations on your new new little venture here. I'm I saw it popping on social media today So you got a brand new show every day from 4 to 5 as well. So congrats on that and Welcome into game time decisions and you know, you're gonna be a lot busier here now your days are now Well, you know a little bit more swamped and then they were maybe let's say 48 hours ago It is all good Craig, but I certainly hope it was very the lead because I'm just a minute Yeah, well, that'd be great. You can turn me on. There we go. Thanks very much guys. I'll tell you this I hope you didn't bury the lead because I know I heard you taking credit for stock and don't forget Now forget that it was it's 1-1 I think one-and-one since you've actually backed him But I got to give you credit because you called it on the show and and the guys behind the season Well, the guy behind the network here will never ever give you credit. I will because that's who I am Your call on the Angels last night had to be amazing. I'm just saying Was outstanding well done that you called the Angels last night Look, I only could call the guys that I see usually if I don't see it, I can't call it But let's also not forget. I was totally wrong I thought the Reds would have a great offensive day and they didn't score a run You know, I would I would ask you know, I guess this is before we get to the games today I would ask you I guess it's an easy answer because I was gonna say what's more embarrassing The Cincinnati Reds offense at this point Joe, but they got outdone last night in that game in Milwaukee that the Brewers won 22 to nothing with Julio Rodriguez at the end of the game throwing the ball into the stands thinking that they were two outs I had a suspicion Last weekend was the last weekend of the weekend before I don't remember when they invited all the legends back I've talked about this every day here on the show Joe you know, and I know when you retire a player's number at halftime in an NFL game or there's some sort of Ceremony not at the not game one of the season not game one not game one game one You know the team lifts the banner they lose. It's pretty much clockwork I'm saying when a team gets energized, but you're watching Randy Johnson and Edgar Martinez and Ken Griffey jr and the best players in the 90s in the 2000s maybe in the history of the game the team that won Over a hundred games and you get swept in your own building Joe that had me really concerned really concerned about Seattle Now I'm even more concerned. I'm concerned for their manager. I'm concerned for their front office Because when a mistake like that happens and a player is just not paying attention at all You can't fire the player, you know If this was a job the player would have gotten fired the person would have gotten fired for really screwing up on the job You can't do that, right and you have to look to other things I personally like Dan Wilson, and I think he's a really good guy I think he did a great job with Seattle last year, but there's no question Joe That was the most embarrassing game and moment of the major league baseball season for one team. That was it
