Summary

They guys weigh in on what has been going on in all of professional sports and the MLB as they hold protests and decline to play games in the hopes of spreading awareness to social issues. We break down Dom Smith's postgame press conference, his poignant message and the team's response!! We also discuss how Jacob deGrom is head and shoulders the best pitcher in all of baseball, how the team continues to screw him out of wins, the circus double header with the Marlins and Seth Lugo's resurgence as a possible starter moving forward. Bonus: In The Books! NoGame Show Even when the Mets do something right, they somehow do everything else wrong and it's LOL Mets all over again. We talk the video leak of Brodie ripping commissioner Rob Manfred for his attempted hijacking of last night's postponed game, the retracting of said statement with the blame shifting to Jeff Wilpon and the Wilpons' issued statements that blamed Brodie and somehow spelled his name incorrectly TWICE. The Mets do the right thing and somehow, someway, we gotta believe that they will end up on the back page of every newspaper for their side show antics.

0:22.5

And we'll see, you know, for the days to come, weeks to come.

0:28.9

It's wild.

0:29.8

I mean, I've just never seen, we've never seen it before, right?

0:32.0

I was trying to think of anything comparable.

0:33.5

I don't think we've ever seen a protest, a walkout, a boycott, whatever you want to call it on this scale, obviously, particularly with basketball, but it trickled into baseball over social issues.

0:45.9

You know, we've seen it over labor disputes and money and whatnot, but out of just like, here's what we believe and here's what we think the world should be like.

0:55.2

And it's not.

0:56.2

So we're going to take a stand.

0:57.4

It's interesting because it's like on the one hand, I do hear the people.

1:01.2

Draymond Green was kind of like we're taking away our platform by not being out there

1:05.9

and not having the microphones and having the television presence.

1:09.5

And I don't think we should do that, which he's entitled to that opinion.

1:12.6

I also do think that, like, if look at how much awareness and influence Kaepernick had by just taking a knee,

1:19.2

what about if you just say, fuck it, we're not playing at all, especially during the playoffs.

1:23.4

I get it.

1:23.9

It's an interesting, you know, approach to it all.

1:28.9

And then to translate it to baseball, two guys I thought really impressed me last night in the baseball world.

1:35.1

One was Christian Yellich, who was rocking the, like, Justice and Peace shirt and just said, like, I've learned so much over the last few months.

1:42.5

And, like, you should too, which I think is,

1:45.1
