Adam talks to Elliot Johnson to talk Mets vs Braves and what this crazy race looks like so far.

Have financial capital financial USA.com. This is the gold shell sound is a function of this is pretty much two areas we are going to go to the first one is last night to get some people's opinions of just the way Nathaniel Hackett kind of botched the end of the game so Seattle was down one they have been a red zone disaster. The two fumbles. The second of which was by Javon J. Williams for North Carolina running back was less his fault because the offense of one above fumble that the Jets have been famous for. How did you fret like I know Mark Sanchez fumbled the ball but he was sort of backed into by his own offense of one like there are people who blame Sanchez for that and not really this is the whole circumstance. So Javon day. Williams fumbles but is often sublime is driven back into one and part of it was the amount of confusion that Denver played with him offensively all night long. It was an absolute disaster. Anyway, so let's get to other people's opinions of what the Broncos did or did not do the didn't let Russell Wilson go for it on fourth and five from the 45's yard line, like the 47 yard line just paid and how much money Keyshawn Johnson from Keyshawn J. Will and Max on that McDaniel Hackett should let Russell Wilson be selfish in that moment I because it's a file Russell Wilson in our city.

Coaches sometimes especially first time here.

Coaches sometimes get caught up in those sordid things instead of understanding the bigger picture quality and what in. I'm smarter. I'll deal with this. You don't have to.

I got this handle. You can point to countless very similar situations. You go to Aaron Rogers and Matt Leflore situation. Take a bodies have a couple years ago get Tom Brady were to kick instead of putting the ball in my superstars. But I think they'll learn from this. Russell Wilson goes back to Seattle you give him the football that mold. Whatever happens, happens. We lose lose, we win great. Yes, the first part of that is the most true and that is why did you pay Russell Wilson all that money again. A lot of these decisions come down to probability and the probability of kicking of converting a 64 yard field goal is not 50-50. I would think it's significantly less versus the probability of Russell Wilson converting on 1/4 and five from the 47 of +47 yard line ethic was line of scrimmage. I think the probability of that is at least the same at least the same.

I did not. I didn't get it. I didn't understand what Nathaniel Hackett was doing but maybe I'm wrong, Marcus Spears, former NFL or from ESPN. He got heated. I just don't understand what they are. These coaches you football coaches were called to be of paramount sitting there last night watching the day I realized this to Phyllis Sabatini three times every ballgame and couldn't even insult they should be billing the situation. The second being these man attire model is there for you to, you know you saving it for you think it is because Mike did this about last year and I folding his boat, but this was some of the worst coaching in this moment that also is I don't believe this, the cheese and 13 seconds I mean I don't disagree with any of that. I'd I just didn't understand. This is such a low percentage point Russell Wilson who is never going to criticize his own head coach didn't have a problem with blood leaving objectively what we know you don't believe in everything, and you know I anytime you can try to find a way to make a plan for the father. That's great too but also ethically cutting all things wrong decision that he can make it. I was leaving hindsight you know and make a counter in the situation.

Again, I wouldn't doubt whatever he decided. Russell Wilson is a good teammate and that will just leave it at that. By the way, sharp suit that Russell was wearing last night that with the means no Golden girls that was her name zero.

They compared it to her. One of the golden girls. Casey had a very similar like a real turquoise. The blue and I thought that was nice and I think that like it was on I was like a boy band, but that's fine right so the other issue we didn't get to yet, but let's just dump it right here, Robert Tsao, the head coach of the New York Jets.

The Jets are the Jets and as long as you're going to start Joe Flack oh studio in my man coach Pete the road with the capital financial advisory group were talking retirement coach.

I'm a simple guy but I like colors. Tell me how I can colorcode money and get ready for retirement. I like colors to my chores. I like graphs I don't like just buzzwords what we try to do is we try to break down all those words on your statement.

All those numbers into three colors red, green, yellow people amazingly come in and most of the money is in the red cat again.

I want that arete means high horsepower, potential documents high loss potential.

You have to get the give-and-take you can want to do that or that yellow means liquid money you get anytime stuck on anything green.

If you safe growth but also dig a lifetime income as we get closer to retirement. We need some green accounts with greens only call it that denigrates it was important grades on support for you to next and people out of the thousand dollar value golden ticket put together for you very own total plans as agreed.

So it's a traffic light. I hope it's green for you 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000B through in a game where you have another able-bodied quarterback on care who it is okay to brush if you're starting Joe Flack oh, you are wasting everybody's time every single person's time Flack and threw it 60 times yesterday 59 Sunday and they lost to procedure FICA anyway. Robert Sala second year I go to the Jets is hearing the criticism and he is making notes every year, every day, and when you lose mostly apocalypse is Armageddon and people just want jump off a bridge for some reason I were in the instant coffee age as part of the generation growing up in the article comes with the job, especially in this market where there's a million people crammed in the one corner of the United States. It's going to get very angry.

Most mostlythe brief but at the same time you know we do our best to ignore the noise and keep the main thing the main thing was finding ways to produce and and for all those people just like I told her, beat her, about 15 months ago for all those people who continue to talk and to continue doubt taken receipts and I can't wait mostly for the entire organization summit on everyone's throat comes around.

Now you do you get to go to all of the reporters and all of the safe your name who writes for that paper you sent this to lead out of your mom.

Yes he is to stand just like yeah we got beat by a team that might win the Super Bowl I we we we thought we could no were taking receipts. I want Robert Sala to be successful. I don't care. You may know this or not. I grew up a Jets fan. I went to I probably been to more than 100 Jets games. I go all the way back to Shea Stadium went to when they played a giant stadium so I used to be a Jets fan I don't really care anymore. It's just you get take you away from fandom and file, not a Jets fan I want salad or succeed because he seemed like a good dude and a good football coach.

But that ain't the way to do it.

That ain't the way to do it in New York or any place really isolated. We are taking receipts to data here get out here that Kishore Johnson played in New York is the business of the Keyshawn Johnson segment his Keyshawn on the current Jets coach as a coach, why are you paying attention in listening to people that are paying fans that pay to go to games and people to pay to talk about the games. If you go back a year ago he was worried about what Rex Ryan said coach damped certain adding up of insight about what Rex Riza about your not here okay or not you want to do it my way south worried about Mike's government. J. Will Keyshawn talking about how the team doesn't look inspired luck. I can use that all use that against the Jets all last year we do a top five and bottom five.

One day every week during the NFL season, and I never let the jets out of my bottom five because they started Joe Flack oh when they had other options.

Joe Flack oh is a loss. It's a loss I don't understand why the jets are wasting time on speaking of business, the Mets and Braves are separated by one game in the loss column as we really enter the third to last week of the major league baseball season. They are scheduled to play three games set in Atlanta, not the final week of the year.

That should be an absolute blast.

Elliott Johnson knows about playing in Atlanta durables legend former guardian.

You really were former guardian Ray Royal and of course Atlanta brave, nice to see you in front of us here on the Adam go to get a few watching on TV. There's Elliott I Mets, Braves, Braves had been playing better than the Mets have they took a believe it was three out of four in their last series. They beat the ground in that series as well that they did lose those two games in Seattle, though, that took him from a heads up behind as we hear the last three weeks so can you get that race real quick pictures are getting hurt is interesting.

I don't like being misguided with with an aging starting staff or roster something that's going to come out, but I think the master but the praise I think underperformed really expectation so their search similar to what they did last year.

Seems like they know how to do that seems like snigger knows that I make sure that the guys are always damp topless knows what he's doing. I think that hanging breaking ball to Julio Rodriguez in Seattle part and might've broken down the barrier it was hit so hard.

Holy cow eyes to watch. I was rooting for him in the home and dirty like you have no idea because he was so much he was just so much fun to watch and then I did on your equipment. Watch what Google's doing in St. Louis is absolutely okay I want to talk about that we are going to get to what Albert falls is doing because he is chasing down potentially at 700 home runs just a handful away, so we are going to get the balls before you get out here is it is it fair to say that part of what the Mets problem has been over the last will just say the last two weeks or so, where they struggle with the nationals lose that first game in Pittsburgh and I saw the headline, the reeling Mets after losing three in a row and playing 500 ball over their previous 10 games but getting beat 52 to the cut by the Cubs last night. Is it fair to say that last year and previous years are just kinda creeping into the periphery with this team. Even with Buck Showalter because they been in positions before and have faltered when they have gotten to September.

Now I would be too worried about it. You just because your expected when on paper doesn't mean that you do. It would be nice for them instead of playing down to their opponents level that they played up to their own potential, not like I'm sitting here being Buck Showalter, but that's basically the message that I would. After the team. So just because it's not a big game doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything in the standings. So every game is is a game that you want to win just because the Pirates or if the nationals and they stink on paper doesn't mean that you not prepare to get your butt kicked every day because I can promise you when you're on one of those bad teams.

Your goal is to take the way that you motivate the guys in our clubhouse is let's let's make this hurt. Let's take it to these guys every day and I see these guys individually are playing for their own goals that they have set for themselves and their own careers. Just because they're losing team doesn't mean that you can't run into somebody that has a really good day and you struggle offensively or maybe one of your your starters has a bad day so I think it's just part of the load of the season. I think they've got plenty of talent will be fine-tuned by catching the braze or by staying ahead of the Braves going to be a challenge in that last series in Atlanta is in Atlanta. Those two teams I assume were going to see the Mets and the Braves meet at some point in the playoffs. It would matter to win the division. Because you don't have that first series to deal with because the winner of this division is going to be the second seed in the National League. The Dodgers had. I believe already clenched next year's National League West out of those two pitching staffs match up. Not so we we don't really know how they match up for a three-game series, but it will we get to the playoffs. How do they match up in terms of starting pitching on the horses so you know that I think this is obviously the important part is pitching always is good hitting but I think either one of the offense is going to have to step up to zero out horses next read. Nobody wants to face Matt. Nobody wrong, but I mean it, which will get you everywhere you choose that that they would rather the easiest way to make this differentiation. Adam is who would you rather face as a hitter. Okay. And if you'd rather face Max. Then you want to grow and I think everyone that has back in their hand would say I'd rather face screen is easiest that right but merely clear different world managed in a different level you opt out of that deal. By the way, my get three for 150 in the sauce is also strong strong play office because it's only to make it more attractive and make the bed and got money. I think he might be.

I think there's a conversation to how deep happy had between him and Judge as the number one most sought after creation in 2023, oh I don't think there's any question the beginning only.

The only trepidation anybody would have with the Grau Ms. missed the first half of this season he missed the last half of last season, so there's a fragility about him, but I think you put up with it. You take that risk because like he's five and one with a 166 ERA. We just doesn't give up hits or if you don't give up runs. It's hard to lose. I know it's a that's a hot take but if you give up no runs. It's really really hard to lose a game real quick to join up that came out from a closing letter that said that the ground is so good that even when he pitches is the dozen sex guy think I did see that that has been the case hasn't been as bad this year. The Mets have scored a few runs of four in this year.

Is there a debate over who the MVP is. I know Shelley Otani's great and he's great in two different disciplines if you will. In baseball, so that gives him such an edge in terms of war and things like that but is there really a debate over who the American League MVP is how does anybody compare judge you phrase it this way out because the pinstripes matter in so many ways right now. So imagine if you doing in that uniform okay with for the Yankees. Now imagine what judges do Yankees in in Anaheim so I think there's some to be set for that I'm personally I'm a judge man.

I got a lovely stone. I love that he's showed ill and I cast in space thanks but no thanks, or Steinbrenner remembers making that decision. Levine I thought that was wonderful. I love what he's doing.

I like everything about what he's doing and steer away Otani's on a different planet altogether. He's he's setting records.

Seems like he's number one. Every pitching category is pretty impressive to watch what every so I think there's deftly conversation you had a nice game fun. I just think that there's always good to be that that pinstripe bias but I so I'm I'm deftly in judge, But I don't have any fault of being in the show a Otani content either. But here's the reason I phrased it that way is because I am not saying it's easier in some ways it might be harder to still play at this level. When your team is out of it, but I've always thought that there should be a winning component to the most valuable player.

This is why I believe we should have a player of the year and an MVP to me. You can be the best player, and not be the MVP. This episode is brought to you by Samsung unfold the all new galaxies.

He fold for their own reason why the Yankees are still in front of the race is because Erin judge has just been on a different planet in terms of hitting all year long may they have they've had injuries there pitching is gone away, but judge is not he's been great all year long and he was playing centerfield for a lot of it. Not a bad centerfielder might be the Yankees but best centerfielder right now, at least in terms of everyday players, so it is it fair or unfair to say that winning is part of this I like that.

Generally speaking, that's just that starts on the camp of the people that are arty on that side anyway.

They try to use it to make their case law stronger. Much of that is out of these guys control, you know, again I think my agreeing to that spot that's fostered this, you might ask where was Ernie Banks and I have 512 rewrite what you think about no you think about that.

I've never been a big fan of that argument is so much of what judges doing actual sure that that the fact that the team around him supporting him.

You give credit to Cashman sherbet is Otani's fault that the Angels can't seem to put together so I don't I don't like about that argument. I think if you're the best player, the best player is the best player observes the works not only that, because it helps make their paydays later on down the road, out of more attractive and if you're not a good team. A lot of that started controlling the team owns you and you really have a lot next time we talk.

We can talk about a potential contractor, Shelley Otani, which I don't believe we can calculate. Actually, I final think as you mentioned Albert faults never been a Cardinals fan, but it's easy to be inoperable fan because he was he as he stepped into the big leagues as a great hitter. He's never done anything he had foot problems and was still being productive with the Angels and now are seeing the Albert pool swansong and this is just legendary.

Heck even Jyoti or Melina starting to hit again for the Cardinals put what were seeing from blowholes this year at his age and perspective. So I think I read that it is lowest. Runs created that with the Cardinals right his career, but better than any of these years that he had an organelle at right now the guys that way swinging the bat out of money he's letting you eat clearly healthy.

He feels good. He's playing good he's being aggressive when they're making a mistake. He's hammering it. I think everybody was glad that it be that you eat. He didn't get tied for a ride. Everybody glad that he didn't and I hope he is the 700 I think his career has been underrated rather than overrated because he's been really one of the best players. My generation for sure and I think is deserving of more praise, not less, and I thought like major league baseball doesn't do a lot right, but boy they got the All-Star game right when they had him in home run Derby.

I don't know if Miguel Cabrera was hurt but it would've been good to have him there. ~Mick Taveras is going to continue to play blessing, but the way that especially the Latin players were looking at pools as this I mean that he is a God to them is just awesome.

It's great for the sport again. You know me, I don't like the Cardinals, but man it's hard not to like and appreciate what he's doing and he's been good like their dangerous PNA and when Adam Wainwright how are these guys still play gray? I wish I wish I did. The answer, and you know and trust me as a cop stagger out of your article so I don't want to give them any credit okay and I need to be smarter than another fan base is one of the most arrogant dumb things I've ever if somebody can quantify that for me someday.

I'd love to hear that I really don't want to have any of that conversation because it's a fruitless conversation to smartest fans in baseball self proclaimed the St. Louis Cardinals fans Ellie Johnson you are the best appreciate your time sir. Will talk again very soon. I know you got Ellie Johnson here on the Adam gold shell seem like he might've been favoring the Braves that looked like very close. I say this very quickly about just baseball in general. Yes, when healthy, the Mets and the ground ensures her and the Braves don't have anybody as good as those two guys. The Mets third best picture Tae Juan Walker was a borderline All-Star this year as well and they've got depth, but ultimately the Braves starting pitching is really freaking good. So while the Mets might have the two better pictures. I think it's a wash. I think the starting pitching is a wash that a series between those two teams in the postseason in. It's sad that it won't be long I should say will be depends on how it all shakes out. Probably will be a best-of-seven like a be a best-of-five but a series between those two teams in the postseason is going to come down to whose bullpen pictures better and who gets a key hit primarily it will be it will come down to bullpen.

I know the Braves are mad about Kenley Jansen Braves bullpen should be okay. Kenley Jansen is is a problem not arguing that but I think the Braves bullpen as a whole, not so much about the closer it's about the guys in front of the closer, and I think of raspberry salad in that area, but that is. I hope those two teams play. It's going to be terrible on my innards.

It's going to be awful on my innards but I hope those two teams play because I think that that is the best series that we can have in major league baseball in the playoffs until we get to the World Series. This is the Adam gold shell
