| 0:00.0 | I was reading that my area is expecting about an inch, and then Sean told me his area is expecting between 1 and 18 inches. I've never seen a forecast like this island. Yeah. The quote-unquote island-wide weather people have posted, one to 18. We really don't know. Yeah. Wow. One to 18. We have no clue. We've got good luck. Yep. Pray. Yeah. I give you a prediction for the Mets this year. They will win between 50 and 120 games. Not sure what number, but it will be between that number. Get your hopes up. Either way, we're going to get some kind of horrible weather. It's just a matter of how bad it is. But the good news is, and I know this doesn't work for everybody, but it works for some of us. |
| 0:39.1 | There's baseball on TV this weekend. |
| 0:41.3 | In fact, in two hours, the Yankees are playing the Orioles down in Florida. |
| 0:46.9 | The Mets are playing a baseball game tomorrow, and then the Mets of the Yankees are playing each other on Sunday. |
| 0:52.7 | And I was curious because I did a whole RICO about this a few days ago, like the spring training storylines of the New York Mets. And for me, it's pretty easy with the Mets. The most interesting thing in Metspring training is Carson Benj. They have a top prospect, and he's trying to win a job. Yeah. And the Mets have made it clear. He has a chance to win the job. And Carlos Mendoza's been asked about it every day at the press conference. What do you need to see from Carson Benj? |
| 1:13.7 | And for a lot of us... meant to made it clear. He has a chance to win the job. And Carlos Mendoza has been asked about it every day at the press conference. |
| 1:11.8 | What do you need to see from Carson Benj? |
| 1:13.5 | And for a lot of us, no matter how diehard of a Met fan you are, you've probably never seen him play. No. He's only played a handful of games above AA. So for the Mets fan, and sure you could pick a million other things, but I think the leading kind of topic of interest when |
| 1:28.2 | watching a spring training game is Carson Bench. Then I think about the Yankees who play today |
| 1:34.5 | in less than two hours. What's the most interesting thing about the Yankees? What is it? I don't |
| 1:39.4 | know. You guys tell me you're Yankee fans. What you got? The most interesting thing about the New York. |
| 1:44.9 | I mean, I have something interesting. Do you have something interesting? I guess it would be any of these young guys again, like LaGrange, more Spencer Jones. It's just, I guess you lean on you. Yeah, but how about you're going to see from pitching? The pitching can't be the most interesting thing because you're not going to see a ton of it. You know what I mean? and so it's probably still Aaron Judge. |
| 2:03.1 | Aaron Judge in spring training? |
| 2:04.6 | Yeah. because you're not going to see a ton of it. You know what I mean? And so it's probably still Aaron Judge. |
| 2:18.6 | Aaron Judge in spring training? Do you what? He's going to be out at the World Baseball question? Yes. If you are, if you are a Yankee fan and you're, where are they playing? They're playing in. Today they're in Sarasota. So it's Arizona. Road game. The road game. and hell, even if you're an Orioles fan, |
| 2:19.9 | you just want to see Aaron Jones. |
| 2:20.7 | He's not going to. He's not in the lineup today. |
| 2:21.3 | I know. So it's Arizona. Road game. The road game. And hell, even if you're an Orioles fan, you just want to see Aaron Jones. |
| 2:19.3 | Yeah, he's not going to. He's not in the lineup tonight. I know, but that's why you would go. You know what? Let me just look at Aaron Judge. I got one. It's a star like that. Ben Rice and Jason Dominguez's his defense. There's something. is that really that interesting? |
| 2:33.4 | Like honestly, think about it. |
| 2:34.7 | Think about what you just said. |
| 2:35.9 | Is that so compelling that you're like, |
