It is time four hour Monster Moment. 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:34.840 Monster Moment is powered by Monster Energy. Louise Arise. Guys, 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.919 three games, got a hit in every game, got an 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.479 RBI in every game. And I was just curious. So 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.320 on Thursday night, I asked Sarah Langs at MLB dot COMICG, 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.040 when's the last time a Phillies player has done that 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.440 in his first three games with the Phillies. I don't 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.320 know if you guys saw my tweet. Jim, you're always 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.599 on Twitter, did you see it. 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.639 I'm gonna look for it right now. You're gonna look 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:57.200 for it right now. 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.720 Let's let's Ruben, you can check out. We'll be back 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:01.560 in twenty minutes. 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:03.520 Yeah. 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:04.120 Uh. 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.520 Last Phillies player to do that a hit in his 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.600 first three games in RBI, in his first three games 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:15.280 since Mike Benjamin. Wow, Mike Benjamin in nineteen ninety six. 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.440 He was my teammate. He was your teammate. That's right, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.000 I played in nineteen ninety six, right. 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.679 That's right. He's Arise is giving him the lead in 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.560 three straight games, the early lead. 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:32.040 Yeah, Arizona State Universities, Mike Benjamin. I played against him 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.240 when I was there in college too. 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:34.600 There you go, U. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.160 From the Giants, right, he came from moost Heatings. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.560 Yes, sir, yes, sir, as as did Louise Arise. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.319 Wow what a segue. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:44.880 Wow. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.360 So what do we think of Louis A Rai's first 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.320 three games? You know, when we got him, uh or 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:56.880 the Phillies got him, we talked about where we thought 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.800 he would hit in the Phillies lineup, and we all said, 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.880 I mean leadoff, He's gonna hit leadoff. I mean there's one, two, 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.840 one or two, and then Don Manley hits him cleanup. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.840 What do we think of the new cleanup hitter. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.360 I'm fine with it. It gives people something to argue about. 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.440 But you know, Don talking the other day, mentioned what 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.720 you've mentioned a lot, Todd, is that lineup optimizer. When 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.840 you run it all throughout a year, it doesn't matter. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.480 You just put your nine best players in there, and 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.560 it's generally going to be you know, within like a 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.360 half a run over one hundred and sixty two game season. 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.400 But you know, I think this merit to his thinking. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.120 He wants contact behind Harper, he doesn't want strikeouts behind Harper, 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.799 and this guy's numbers with runners and scoring position are 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.840 like historic, and what we've seen the first three nights 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.120 kind of validate that he's come up with men on base. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.920 One of the things Don talked about, I mean that 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.240 first night, that first game, Don said, you know, hoping 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.440 he comes up with runners on first and second. A 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.400 few times both first at bats, his runners are first, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.680 first and second and he drives in the run. So 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.519 I'm fine with it. It's worked so far. Maybe he 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.640 tinkers here and there, but I'm fine with it. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.799 Yeah, I mean, I didn't agree with it, but it's 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.480 working and whatever works, and I think he'll stay with 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:18.160 it for a while. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.480 It looks like Schwarber's. 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.840 Finally sort of getting out of his funk. It's been 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.919 a while since he's been productive, had a really tough July. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.840 I mean since July first, he's been sort of terrible, 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.239 only has like, you know, maybe six or seven extra 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:40.680 base hits, like three home runs. So listen, He's Arises 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.720 injected some serious energy into that lineup. Man. I talk 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.360 about him as if he was like Juan Soto without 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.840 the power. He has the ability to stay in there 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:51.840 in his bats. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.960 He has. He has plate presence. I love the plate presence. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.760 Listened to Dave Winfield years go talk about how important 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.320 it is to to show the pitcher how much you 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.040 dominate in that box. It's your box. He shows people 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.760 that that's his box. That's you're You're not going to 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.560 make a pitch on me that is going to get 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.640 me out, or there's not a pitch that I can 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.480 You know that that I can't handle, that you can throw. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.320 The impressive thing, the most impressive thing that I've seen 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.680 so far. Since he has been a Philadelphia Philly, he 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:33.400 has not swung and missed the baseball, not one time. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.680 He's either fouled it all or put it in play 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.640 every time he swung the bat. Now it's I'm not 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:42.880 sure how many swings. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.480 It is, twenty twenty eight swings. Ruben twenty eight. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:50.640 Twenty eight swings, and we had that stat was twenty prior. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.840 My man Eric Nenneth during the game yesterday, who is 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.800 a pr guy for us for slugball. I'll plug that later. 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.719 He he pointed it out to me, and that's a 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:06.320 pretty astounding number. I don't know what and whether they've 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.440 tracked it or whether it's a something that's a record, 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:15.520 but I can't imagine that anybody would ever have surpassed that, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.000 coming from one team to another the first whatever, however 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.880 many games to uh not swing and miss at a pitch, 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:23.839 it's insane. 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.760 That's his game. I mean, he's that way wherever he's been, 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.320 but certainly it's peak right now. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.960 He's got the best whiff rate in baseball. He swings 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.760 and misses only seven point seven percent of the time 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.720 on all swings. That's best out of two hundred and 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.160 twenty hitters with five hundred swings this season. So when 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.440 you see him miss, swing and miss at a pitch, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:48.640 you're shocked. You're shocked. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.840 But the energy is the energy is huge. I mean, yeah, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.839 some of it comes from he he has that effervescent personality, 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.520 that love of the game and that rubs off on people, 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.560 but she also comes from offense. And every time he's 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.720 in that box, like you mentioned, he's a threat to 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.440 do something to contribute to to scoring a run. So 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.479 that's that's really good to see. I think this team 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.240 needed that because there's a lot of punch outs, there's 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.880 a lot of dead innings, and they needed something like that, 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.600 something to give them a little jolt of energy, because 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.320 at times, I thought in July of times they really 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.920 looked kind of kind of dead at times. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.360 So got kind of dead dead ass, dead ass. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:38.360 The great baseball term dead ass, and he's given them 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:39.640 a little pick up. 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.040 Well, you know, but the most important thing about this 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.800 Jim is his nickname. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:50.000 His nickname is the sprinkler. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.120 And I will tell you that for Yeah, it's actually 0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:00.560 Greg if you take it literally, is the the can 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:09.159 the watering can. Okay, Now that's what Jim uses when 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.720 he is gardening. So guys, you guys are almost like kismet. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.560 You guys are for them to get him. I mean 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.920 they did it for you, Jim. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.320 They brought them. They brought the can to you. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.920 I used the hose and I get the whole thing. Sprinkles. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:28.080 I got that. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.280 You guys have You guys have a lot in common 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.880 you and Luisa rise in that sense. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.080 Yes, you never missed Jim. You never miss well Jim. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:43.040 You mentioned his swag and his energy and you know 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.920 NB I think it was NBC Philly put out on 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.720 social media. Like just the stuff that Arise does in 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.600 between pitches, after a pitch, he smells his bad he 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.680 jumps up and down, he kind of does he does 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.160 all sorts of different moves. I mean, he's great to watch. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.960 He's a guy you just kind of want to watch. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.800 Should see what he does. If he misses, you know, 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.800 if he follows off a pitch he thinks he should hit, 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.560 he reacts to it. If it's a pitch on you 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.720 know that that a good pitch that he took, and 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.920 he's happy body. He kind of shows it, you know. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.840 So there's he's he's he's enjoyable to watch. And you 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.320 mentioned his runners with scoring position numbers. In his career, 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.800 Luis arrives as a three eighteen hitter. This is entering 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:26.640 Last Night runners on bass. He's a career three point 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.240 fifty hitter. Runners in scoring position, he's a career three 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:31.440 point fifty four hitter. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:33.079 So this is. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.880 Somebody that does damage when the runners. He doesn't get 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:45.040 in the tight, rubin in the tight tighten up. Yeah, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.280 he does not tighten up in the tight He relaxes and. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.920 Does well one of the things one of the things 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.440 that he sort of switches it, I mean, and I 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.320 think this is what the great hitters do in tight situations. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.800 The reality of it is, the pressure's on the picture. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.760 To make the pitch when there's guys on base, and 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:10.079 sometimes hitters don't realize that it's them that have the pressure, 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.120 and he flips it. A lot of the times of 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.480 hitters believe that they have they are under pressure to 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.679 come through. The reality of it is he makes it 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.600 feel to the picture that you have to make a 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.120 pitch to get me out and to get through this inning, 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.520 and it's going to be tougher on you than it 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:27.040 is on me. 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.280 And I love that sort. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.920 Of mentality, and it's something that you hope becomes infectious 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.840 to the rest of the lineup, no doubt. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.959 I love that. In his introductory little news conference there 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:45.040 and somebody mentioned to him that Don Maddingly compared you 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.120 to Tony gwyn and he jumped in and said, yeah, 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.920 I was with Rock Caru in Rod Caru in Minnesota, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.160 probably a spring training instructor or something. But he knows 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.280 Rod Karu and man, he was the ultimate bat the 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.200 ball guy probably Ty Cobb was, but carew from my 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.319 youth man. He just would let that ball get deep 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:07.440 and flick. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:14.480 Yeah, that's all Patamanian jew rodkru Adam Sandler wrote about 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:20.640 it in a Song's right.

And uh, they took care of it. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.439 Rothman Institute Studs. 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:29.440 I love it. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.679 I love to hear that that's great, that's great, and 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:33.839 your neck is feeling better. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:35.880 It is a little bit better. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:36.760 They gave me a little. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:42.080 You know, it's uh not hopefully not a long term thing, 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.880 but we'll do all right. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.480 I'm playing golf, so that's okay. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.280 All right, that's all I want to know. Are you 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.040 playing golf? For playing golf, that means you're you're all right, 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.040 You're gonna be okay. 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:51.560 Okay. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:56.200 So we asked, we asked all of you that watching 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.959 and listen to the show for your for your phillies 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.480 questions coming out of trade deadline. We got a bunch 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.960 and let's just jump right into it. And this is 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.960 a question on Instagram mca mic on Instagram? Is the 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:14.080 lineup giving you flow or no flow? Jim Rubin you 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.079 you care to get into it? 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:21.319 Well, lately flow the addition of of arise. They're on 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.240 a nice little uptick here since Baltimore rarely, but there 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.600 are other times when there's no flow. When it's EBB. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.560 They are a inconsistent lineup. Some nights day EBB, some 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.400 nights they flow. You prefer when they flow, and I 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.480 think is going to help them. But I still think 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.319 there's gonna be nights when they throw up the old 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:46.960 gooseag or the one. But maybe cut into those nights 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.559 and maybe help limit those nights. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.680 Medium to high flow for me and I And the 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.960 reason why I say that is just for what Jim said. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.360 I'm interested to see how they handle. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.360 A really good starting pitching because they've they've struggled with that. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.240 With this new lineup, what are they gonna see when 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.880 they face some guys. They're gonna face some guys in 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.960 Toronto that might be a little bit better than what 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.679 they faced in against the Nationals. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:12.000 Now. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.280 One of the things that's really important, and I think 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.960 it's huge for this team, is the guys like Stott 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:21.600 are getting hot. 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.880 That's huge for this team. For the back part of 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:25.520 this lineup. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:30.400 A guy like Crawford maybe benefiting from having a rise around. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.680 He's hitting a bound two sixty two sixty five. That's 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.160 not bad for a rookie. He's not driving the ball, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.480 but he's putting the ball in play and doing Crawford things. 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.960 He's getting bait, he's getting you know, getting some bunts down. 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.760 He's moving runners, he's driving a run in when he 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.840 has to do it. He's stealing a bag. He had 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.360 a little bit of a base running blunder yesterday, but 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.000 that's a sort of a rookie thing, so you like 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:56.600 to see. 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.280 The bottom of the lineup doing some things. Stott's been hot. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.560 That's huge for them, and I think finally I'll get 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.320 a lot more flow, probably within the next two days, 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.240 because I think what's gonna happen here shortly is that 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.880 Schoreber's gonna get hot. And when Shoreberg gets hot, then 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.040 the flow will be heavy because he is a difference 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.120 maker in the lineup. When he is on, the team 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.840 is on. When he goes, they go. And I think 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.680 that's what Don manningly has him at the top of 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.960 the lineup for. Maybe he sees more fastballs or what 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.240 have you. He hasn't and he's still striking out some, 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.840 but at least he got off the schneid last night, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.600 got a couple of hits and an RBI. Hopefully that 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:39.720 starts getting them going. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.800 You mentioned the starting pitching their face and real quick Todd, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.640 I was not at the game last night. I was 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.680 watching on TV and when I put it on and 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.560 I watched Miles Michael's throw, I honestly said this to myself. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.160 I'm like, why is Garrett Stubbs pitching for the Washington 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.560 Nationals from the center field camera. His release looks like 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.320 a Stubbs, the tall Garrett Stubbs, and his stuff is 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:04.720 right there with Garrett as well. 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.320 That's not nice. That's that nice. 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.960 James I wasn't nice, but he. 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.160 He didn't have stuff. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.720 His stuff is not there. It's obvious. He's got a 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:15.320 six c r A. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.320 There's a reason why he doesn't have the punch in 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.080 his stuff overall to be able to get hitters out. 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.080 And he had a lot of success in Saint Louis 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.880 using the top of the zone with the new swing pats. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.560 He was having a lot of success throwing breaking balls 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:35.480 up and fastballs up and and and mixing up pitches. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.640 But he doesn't have the same stuff and he's getting 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.720 knocked around quite a bit. Philly's with what eight doubles 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.640 yesterday from seven hitters, and uh, you know, a lot 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.520 of guys getting doing damage. Almost everybody had a multiple 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:48.040 hit game. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.160 It was fight at the batrock. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.400 It was yeah, eleven eleven hard hit balls. Eleven hard 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.720 hit balls and what five or six innings? That's a 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:01.400 lot and uh, and listen, the real test is when 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.480 when they start facing some guys here in Toronto. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.399 He has mentioned Bryce and Stott last thirty eight games 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.960 Bryce and stopped batting three eleven eight seventy six ops. 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.400 Bryce Harper since he said he'd move to the outfield 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.760 and said he's not playing well and he needs to 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.919 do his job better. Betting two ninety four eleven ops. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.960 Some other guy. Yeah, you mentioned Justin Crawford his last 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:28.080 eleven games betting three forty four. Trey Turner eighteen games, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:29.280 betting three thirty three. 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:29.800 JT. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.359 Real muto is last thirty eight games, betting two sixty 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.359 two with a seven eighty seven ops. If j that 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.680 was JT's season average, you would. 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.920 Be eg static. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.359 Attic with JT. So you see some you see some signs, 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.040 but they are still prone to the. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.840 Better late than never, though, better to do it in 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.960 August and September and maybe October than to not do 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.680 it at all and then and to be the reverse, 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.679 right if you get out hot. That's why Brent Brandon 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.679 Marshall's like, hey, what's going on with Brandon marsh I mean, listen, 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.560 you hope that he turns it around. He's started to 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.399 swing the bat a little bit better lately, but he 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.639 went through a lull there that was pretty disastrous. He 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.400 went from being phenomenal to sort of disastrous. Hopefully bounces back. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.119 Here's another question from Brett Miller fourteen on Instagram. Do 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:20.919 you think Harps moved to the outfield will have a 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.800 negative effect on his offensive output? Well, I can tell 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.760 you that I asked him about that last week and 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.800 he said, I think it actually could be good for 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.080 me running around out there. It's kind of just you know, 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:39.600 doing my thing, getting away from Bobby Dickerson. He was joking, 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:40.800 he was joking. 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:41.600 He was joking. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:43.800 I think he was joking. 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.520 But Moby Bobby holds him accountable. Man, you also die. 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.719 But Bryce is not going to move out. If Bryce 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.760 thought if I go to the outfield, I'm going to 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.760 die out there and I'm not going to be able 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.920 to hit, then he would not be out there saying 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.960 I'll move out to the outfield. So I have zero 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.000 concern about him moving to the outfield and it affecting 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.080 his offense at all. He's not an idiot. Bryce is 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:07.760 not an idiot. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.520 No, there's a purpose behind everything he does. 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.760 Right, If he thought he couldn't hit if he moved 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:19.080 to the outfield, he ain't moving to the outfield, all right. 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:20.679 This is uh one. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.479 Second, am I am I mistaken? Or am I correct? 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.200 That he has two MVPs as an outfielder? 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:27.320 Correct? 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:28.239 Thank you? 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:29.520 Correct? 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:30.520 All right? 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.119 This is let me find this. So when this is 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.399 from Tom g eighteen on Blue Sky, do you think 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.760 a Rise could potentially be a hitting mentor to Bryson Stott. 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.120 While Bryson is improving as the season progresses, I would 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:44.600 like to see him be more like Louise on a 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.560 consistent basis and less swinging for the fences. I mean, 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.280 who wouldn't like Bryson Stott to turn into Louis to Rise. 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.159 I've been saying it last two preseasons. My bold prediction 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.720 is Bryson Stott makes the All Star team. I think 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.000 even this year I said he finished. My bold prediction 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.760 was Bryson Stott finished his top five for the n 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:06.880 L batting title. So hey, get sign me up. If 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.879 for Alisa Rights can rub off on Bryson Stott a 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:11.119 little bit, why you. 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.320 Never know the conversations that happened in a batting cage 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:19.760 and the tidbit that is absorbed by the listener. So 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.520 I think can rub off just by watching them. But 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.320 I also think they can have conversations and pick each 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.080 other's brains, and sure teammates help each other all the time. 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:32.520 Look at Doc did for Cole Hammils and and you 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.880 know Chase did for a bunch of guys. So yes, 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.399 absolutely you could. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.520 I totally agree with that. And let me just say 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:46.000 something else. Another caveat with regard to Stott. You know, 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.280 I was concerned and he's going from second to third 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.479 base totally different, and we haven't seen him play there 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:55.080 a lot, but what I've seen so far is pretty 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:59.040 damned impressive. He looks like he has not missed a beat. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.440 He's worked out before, he's played some there before professionally, 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:06.200 not a lot, but just watching his actions and what 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:10.680 he is not scared, he is His throws are impeccable, 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:15.120 he is his footwork's really good. He's still getting used 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:19.000 to the quick actions. It's a little bit different reaction time. 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.240 But I am really impressed by the way he's handled 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.399 third base so far. Made a really nice catch and. 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.480 All pop up. He's a baseball players and athlete. We 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:28.119 talked about it. 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.960
