| 0:00.0 | You walk away looking towards the sky saying baseball gods, why do you hate us? |
| 0:05.1 | Why Francisco Lindor, who is starting to get hot, who has looked good offensively in this series, |
| 0:11.6 | who made a key defensive play two days ago, how can you take him away from us with the same exact injury that Juan Soto just came back from. |
| 0:22.0 | And so listening to the tone of Carlos Mendoza's voice, |
| 0:25.9 | watching Lindor struggled around the bases on that RBI hit, |
| 0:30.2 | I have to believe, Teak, that we are looking at the same, if not longer, |
| 0:35.4 | of a wait until we see Lindor that we did Juan Soto. |
| 0:38.9 | Yeah, it's interesting because Juan Soto, while it felt like they were being cautious early |
| 0:45.4 | and then rushing him back late, when you watched him, he didn't look like he had any remnants |
| 0:52.0 | of a cafe. |
| 0:52.8 | He tried to steal a base. It didn't work. It didn't work because they've picked up on his game. Yes, clearly. But I feel like Francisco Indoor may just be being cautious. Now, I listened to the RICO on my way in. Well, you got some weird habits then. I just, I like the RICO, dude. And you said you |
| 1:11.9 | were like, what does this mean? You said you were going to ask me, what does this mean? |
| 1:15.1 | Yeah. I did. I asked, I said, Tiki knows calves better than I do. What the hell does this mean? |
| 1:22.4 | So, you wanted to know whether or not him missing spring training is contributing, would contribute to this. Yes, but think about this, folks, before Tiki answers it. Lindor didn't have a spring training. He came back and started playing spring games about a week and a half before the season started, and then the season starts, and he's played every day. It's not like the Mets are fishing them off days here or D.H. days. He's played every day. And so I do think |
| 1:44.9 | it's fair to wonder, and you would know better than anybody did not having a spring |
| 1:49.2 | training potentially contribute to a calf. So here's, I'll explain this from my current |
| 1:55.1 | athleticism. So I've run marathons and half marathons now. Now, imagine for those runners out there, if you hadn't trained at all for four months, five |
| 2:07.2 | months, you hadn't put your running shoes on at all, and then you go try to run a half |
| 2:11.8 | marathon. |
| 2:12.7 | What's that going to feel like? |
| 2:14.1 | It would hurt. |
| 2:14.9 | You'd finish it, and you'd be like, man, that was brutal. Now go |
