We touched on it with Cilow last hour, but the most annoying thing to me about the Mets last night wasn't even the lack of offense, because I've already been annoyed by that.

0:09.7

I'm already used to that with this lack of offense.

0:12.5

It's the fact that this game breaks open, one, because Nolan McLean comes out of the game when he shouldn't.

0:19.3

And two, you've got these two guys that the Mets have been waiting and waiting and waiting to finally fill their potential, and they're trying to get him going every single year. And I love Mark Viantos, and I love his potential, and I love his star potential, and his bat gets going, it changes the lineup and all that stuff. But these guys don't have positions. I mean, Brett Beatty out in Rightfield doesn't work.

0:41.5

I mean, we talked about, you know, Juan Soto being a butcher in Wrightfield last year.

0:46.1

Compare, like, Brett Beatty's a legit butcher in Wrightfield.

0:49.5

I mean, he's out there with two meat cleavers.

0:52.3

And then Vientos at first, I mean, how many times do you have in another miserable

0:58.2

throw last night to home plate in a critical moment?

1:01.3

It's just I hate when a team that spends so much money on their roster has multiple guys

1:10.5

playing out of position that should not be

1:18.3

Bobauchin, you spend a lot of money on Juan Soto and the door and the pitching stage.

1:22.8

All right. I understand that you got to have some guys on the roster that are on rookie contracts that are, you know, pre-arbitration and have an upside and all these things.

1:32.3

But for God's sakes, like, when is enough enough when it comes to these guys out in the field?

1:37.5

1:43.3

I mean...

1:43.9

He's not a right fielder. What is he? Well, I mean, shows you a flash here or there. I mean... He's not a right fielder.

2:01.4

What is he? Well, I mean, he should be... What is he exactly? He should be a third baseman. Okay, but... He should be. But, I mean, he was okay at Thursday. He was okay. You know, but now you've got a guy over there who was a, you know, bad defensive shortstop. was now playing third base.

2:03.2

Well, he did make a decent play last night.

2:01.0

You've seen flashes from him over there who was a, you know, bad defensive shortstop, who was now playing third base.

2:18.2

Well, he did make a decent play last night. You've seen flashes from him over there, Bichette, where he gets the job done. But he's never going to be over there at third base unless Bo Bichet ends up getting hurt. That is very true.
