00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: The Philly Show is presented by Fox One, Ruby Tomorrow Junior,

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Jim Salisbury, Todd Zlecki. It's Wednesday, October sixteenth, twenty twenty five.

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: We're sporting our Phillies show caps. Yeah we are, Yes,

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: we are, guys. Sources confirmed on Monday what I think

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: all three of us expected, and that is Rob Thompson.

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: We'll be back as Phillies manager in twenty twenty six.

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. It's time for the park's first pitch.

8
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: First pitch is brought to us exclusively by our partners

9
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: at Parks, Pennsylvania's number one. You know, are we surprised, guys.

10
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. I thought it was I understood the speculation.

11
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been stunned if no, all of a

12
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: sudden a decision was made like this. But I'm not

13
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: surprised that Rob Thompson is back. I thought it was

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: kind of a long shot.

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: I am stunned by the reaction by the fans or

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: there's a loud minority. I guess it is thinking that

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: he should have been canned. I don't get it, because

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: I think he handles things really, really well. You can

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: question any managerial move anybody makes at any time.

20
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: You can Monday morning quarterback all day long.

21
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: There are some that I disagree with, but overall, I

22
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: think Rob is super conscientious, very steady hand, and one

23
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: of the reasons why they've had so much success, particularly

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: in the in regular season as they had over the

25
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: last you know what, three or four years.

26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've been to the postseason four years in a

27
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: row under him, all four seasons, they haven't gotten where

28
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: they wanted to go. We all acknowledge that he's pushed

29
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: buttons that sometimes haven't worked. But I can see the

30
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: logic and all the moves. Sometimes the player's got to

31
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: make the manager look good, and you know it hasn't happened.

32
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: But you know there's no problem question in his moves.

33
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: He would understand it. But you know, in the before

34
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 4: the four years that they've been in the postseason, they

35
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 4: missed the postseason ten years. Have we forgotten what a

36
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 4: waste land baseball was for ten freaking years? And he's

37
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: gotten there four years in a row, got into October

38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 4: with ascending wind totals every year. He did not deserve

39
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: to be fired. I think he should have been back.

40
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: He is back. I think he's a good skipper, and

41
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: you know, pressure ramps up here.

42
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: I'd be very.

43
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: Curious to see if he has gutten or will get

44
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: a one year contract extension, because that would raise the

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 4: question is he a lame duck next year? And the

46
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 4: last time they had a lame duck, Joe Girardi didn't

47
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: work out well, a matter of fact, led to Rob's

48
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 4: rise into the manager's chair. But we'll find that out

49
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: soon enough. But I'm glad he's going to be the

50
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: skipper in twenty twenty six. And you know, the expectations

51
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: remain the same, win a World Series, and if they

52
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: don't get there, then maybe a change will be more justified.

53
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: But right now I'm really comfortable with him going into

54
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six. I think he's done a good job.

55
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: Too.

56
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: And I wrote about this in my Phillies Beat newsletter

57
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: and maybe this is as nine you guys can tell

58
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: me I've written dumb stuff before, but I was looking

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: thinking about he makes the playoffs four straight years, they

60
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: fall short, certain moves didn't work out. Manager's going to

61
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: get ripped for that all the time. I totally get it.

62
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: And you could say the bunt playing game two and

63
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: why did he walk shohe Otani with to put the

64
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: tying run on third base in Game four? I get

65
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: all that, but then I think back to Bobby Cox

66
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Braves. He won fourteen consecutive Division titles.

67
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: That awful manager won one World Series. You know, I

68
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: guess Bobby, you know, And I'm sure after all those

69
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: postseasons there was a move that Bobby made or didn't make.

70
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: It's like, what is this guy doing? But he's a

71
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame manager. They didn't put punched across the

72
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: goal line. Dave Roberts. Now, I'm going to throw out

73
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. The pandemic shortened twenty twenty season.

74
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: They won them. It doesn't count for me. Okay, never

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: counted for me.

76
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: So then we are in agreement there, So throw out

77
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty Dodgers World Series out, Dave Roberts. Eight

78
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: seasons before this year, they won the NL West seven times.

79
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: They finally won the World Series in year eight. And

80
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: I know after a lot of those postseason failures, it

81
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: was Dave Roberts, did he go? Should he be fired?

82
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: Is he's not really a good manager. He doesn't push

83
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: the right buttons, all of those things, and then finally

84
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, they put it all together. The

85
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: players performed Freddie Freeman hits a Grand Slam in Game one,

86
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: a walk off Grand Slam, and then they win the

87
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: World Series. So I don't think it's a stretch to

88
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: think that Rob Thompson could do the same thing that

89
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts did last season or other managers have done.

90
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: After being at the Helm for five six seven seasons

91
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: and then finally winning a World Series Charlie Manuel five

92
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: six seven eight, I mean that was his fourth year.

93
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen right off the bat every single time.

94
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: It's hard to win in the World Series, man, you know,

95
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: if the hare, it's really hard to win the World Series.

96
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: And I get it. So move didn't work out. I

97
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: saw the logic in all of them. The players like

98
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: him for the most part. I'm sure there's some guys

99
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: in there and Nick Castillas grumbled about him. Okay, whatever,

100
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: but he's back, and I don't think this means the

101
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: Phillies are running it back. That was something I've heard

102
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: a couple of times in emails and in comments on Twitter.

103
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: Oh so I guess they're running it back. I don't

104
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: think they're gonna run it back. If Dave Dombrowski comes

105
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: out on Thursday and said it says we're bringing back

106
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: the same exact squad, we think he would get it

107
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: done as is. I would be stunned if he said that.

108
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: Here's the other question I have of a follow up,

109
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: how long do you think the leash is.

110
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: I don't think it's particular. I think it depends on

111
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: the you know, well, actually it doesn't depend on the

112
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: contract extension if he got one. I don't think the

113
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 4: leash is I don't think the leash is particularly the

114
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: particularly long. I think Dombroski played the change the manager

115
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: card in twenty twenty two and the team responded, and

116
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: he could play it again in twenty twenty six, and

117
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 4: I think Rob Thompson realizes that. I'm sure he realizes

118
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: that's the way the game is played, but around the

119
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: game a long time. Yeah, look, we're all disappointed they

120
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: haven't won a World Series here. I think they're always

121
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: going to rue the day they didn't win In twenty

122
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: twenty three when they were putting.

123
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: At the World by the Cojones.

124
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were putting teams, they were putting teams through

125
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: the wood chipper like in Fargo early in that postseason.

126
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: And then they went to Arizona, Okay, and one of

127
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: the managers moves blew up in his face. And then

128
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: they came home and they didn't hit and they gagged.

129
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: They'll rue that forever. But you can blame a lot

130
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: of people, and you can point some fingers at Rob Thompson,

131
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: but you can also spread those fingers all around that

132
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: lineup and that clubhouse and that bullpen. I don't think

133
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: the finger is big enough to point at Rob Thompson

134
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: to make a managerial change right now. They sput her

135
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: out of the gate next year, I bet he'd be

136
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: the first one to tell you he expects it, and

137
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: that would be a card Dave could play. But right now, hey,

138
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 4: if you want to say they're running back the manager, fine,

139
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 4: I'm fine with it. Right And that was first Pitch.

140

Speaker 4: The Mariners are really playing well, and they were here

164
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: what eight weeks ago and got their lunch handed to

165
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: them by the Phillies.

166
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: It's amazing they the Phillies destroyed the Mariners.

167
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Phillis beat them off, battered and bruised. And I've

168
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 4: had a feel about that team for a while, the Mariners,

169
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: because it just seems like they sprinkled with a little

170
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 4: gold dust with the Cal Rawley season. They get the.

171
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: Corner two corner pieces.

172
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: Offense, and they get and you know, trader, Jerry finally

173
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: got it right.

174
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: He likes to trade.

175
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, got it right, he finally Yeah, he absolutely did.

176
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

177
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So guys, we asked all of our viewers on

00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: take this responsibility. Whoever you think extends the best question,

00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: that person a Manco and Manco gift.

184

Speaker 3: I want to be prissed off of Jim.

185
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: So now we're gonna put our heads together. I'm gonna

186
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: take notes.

187
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: Okay, you take notes, Jim, all right, so.

188
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: I know who I know who I'm not giving you to.

189
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go.

190
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: So here here's one that I thought was an interesting

191
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: way to look at things. This is from Dan ps

192
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: uh nine on Instagram. Does the Dodgers success with starting

193
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: pitching in the bullpen improve the odds that the Phillies

194
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: re sign Ranger Swarrez. Now, if you haven't listened to

195
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: our show on Monday, go back. We ranked fifteen players

196
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: most likely to return least likely return. We had Ranger

197
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: swars as the least likely Affilly to return in the offseason.

198
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Not that doesn't mean the Phillies won't try.

199
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: You never know how things are going to shake out

200
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 4: over the course of the winter, and Scott Boris winters

201
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: last a long time, sometimes until March twelfth. That's when

202
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: Jay That's when Arietta signed a few years ago with

203
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: the Phillies March twelfth. So you just never know how

204
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: things could shake out over the course of a winner

205
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: and how that could affect Ranger in terms of coming

206
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 4: back to Philadelphia. I just feel like there are major

207
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: questions about his durability and with the money they need

208
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: to allocate to make a run at Schwarber and JT

209
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: and fix all the things, and with the pitching they

210
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 4: have and the pitching they have coming, I see Ranger

211
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: as being call it a budget cut, you know, call

212
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 4: it thank you very much. We'll catch you down the road.

213
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: I just don't think he's gonna be here, but could

214
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: be wrong.

215
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: Here's the issue with waiting that long.

216
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: A lot of teams set their budgets long before, you know,

217
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: February and March, and they're you know, I think what

218
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: happens is you have a.

219
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: Very narrow window or narrow amount.

220
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: Of teams that have not set their budget by the

221
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: time February and March rolls around, So all of a sudden,

222
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna throw like a thirty million dollars salary on

223
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: a guy.

224
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: Have you tested for that.

225
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: There's a lot of there's very few teams who who

226
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: are able to stay in that mix that late in

227
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: the process. That's why I think, you know, holding on

228
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: to those players and trying to eke out the very

229
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: last dollar or making a historic deal or a historic

230
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: aav or whatever the mottos operendi of Scott Boris is

231
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: that particular offseason.

232
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: I think it.

233
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: I think in a lot of times, a lot of

234
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: times it hurts the player. So that's why they have

235
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: to take pillow contracts.

236
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: And it would be nice to build a deep enough

237
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: rotation where you do have guys that can help in

238
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: the bullpen in October and be really, you know, effective,

239
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: like Ranger technic technically was in Game four.

240
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: And would have happened had they had had they had

241
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: Wheeler healthy.

242
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, would have happened. What would have happened? We were

243
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: talking about that for months, that who's going to go

244
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: out there, Wizardo and.

245
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: It probably would have and Or and or Ranger.

246
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 4: It just kind of fell apart on him.

247
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: So, yeah, losing Wheeler killed him. This is from David

248
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: Manning on Blue Sky. Assuming that the Phillies are going

249
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: to move Nick castianis, what kind of return would we

250
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: expect or even want, even if we're eating salary? What

251
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: should we expect in return?

252
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 4: Nothing?

253
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

254
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 3: Nothing much?

255
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't.

256
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: Know what very much you could get, like a thirtieth

257
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: prospect in somebody's organization.

258
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's making twenty million dollars next season. You're gonna

259
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: have to eat a lot of that, and they'd.

260
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: Be willing to eat a lot of it.

261
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 5: I bet they'd be willing to eat ten twelve million

262
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 5: dollars because the reality is, if you look at his numbers,

263
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously he didn't have a great offensive year,

264
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: and his defense is questionable and all that other stuff.

265
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: What is his what would be his value today on

266
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: the open marketplace, like, what would somebody pay him seven

267
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: eight million, nine million, four million?

268
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, based on how he performed this year.

269
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're talking about a guy again based off

270
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: of fangrass War was the worst qualified player in baseball

271
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: negative point six. I think it was for whatever that is.

272
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: But defensively, offensively, that's.

273
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: Why that's why you can't expect much of a return.

274
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: I don't think.

275
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

276
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: I think right there, what you're trying to do is

277
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: you talk about running it back, move on from him,

278
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: try to find something in the right field. Could be

279
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: some other moves going on in the outfield. This one,

280
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: this one, Ruben, I think is directed at you. I

281
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: heard a rumor the fielders are going to try to

282
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: move one or more of the big contracts, and he

283
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: details or guesses that's from j R. Adler eleven on

284
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: threads you kind of talked about created.

285
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm a rumor starter. I get old behind that.

286
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: It is a possibility, and it is the duty of

287
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: the general manager to explore all possibilities. And I think

288
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: that Dave Debrowski. I just have a feeling that Dave

289
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: Debrowski will keep his mind open on everything to try

290
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: to change the mix a little bit so that they

291
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: don't necessarily quote unquote.

292
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: Run it back. Right you think, yeah, I didn't try

293
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: to create a rumor. I just gave an opinion.

294
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: Right, you're a rumor monger.

295
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: Not really. But if people want to think it like that,

296
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: that's fine. Well, this is my words that I say.

297
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: Most people, most opinion, most people who did listen to

298
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: your words. I believe when they hear a big contract

299
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: Harper or Turner, and but there's they both have no

300
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: trade clauses. I wonder if they went to Harper and

301
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: said we're thinking of trading you, I flat out I

302
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: think he would say, you're not trading me. But that

303
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: would alienate him and I don't know, would create a

304
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: diminishing return or something very delicate. I think it's very delicate.

305
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: And now I don't even think that. I don't think

306
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: they would go there. I think the owner wants him

307
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: here and wants them to go into.

308
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: The Hall of Fame as a Philly Maybe.

309
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: So it doesn't mean it's necessarily the right thing.

310
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: It's not a it's Look, it's not a terrible idea.

311
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, in there's not exact sight, it's not an exact science.

312
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: You want to change the mix, you want to mix,

313
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: you have to explore pretty much everything, not just big contracts,

314
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: little contracts, the whole nine yards.

315
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: But it is possible.

316
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: How about that.

317
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: I would be willing to bet they kick it around, But.

318
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: Of it actually happening is probably very low, right.

319
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: I mean we said, we said on on Monday Show

320
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: Harper was the most likely guy to return. I think

321
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: Turner was the second most likely guy return out of

322
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: those fifteen players. So doesn't mean you can't explore anything

323
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: and everything. I get it, But we also feel that

324
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: we wouldn't bet on it either.

325
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: One of those things where you where you used to

326
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: sit around talking about getting to you on carlis Stanton

327
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 4: all the time, talk about it, but why not try?

328
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 3: Gotta try?

329
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely ge Okay, So here's g papp nine six three

330
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: one on Instagram. Would you let Al Schwarber walk if

331
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: if he's too expensive, then turn toward Pete Alonzo instead

332
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: a right handed power bat. I mean you'd have to

333
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: make one of the you'd have to make him the

334
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: DH obviously, and he would be the DH I mean,

335
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: is that if they would lose Schwarber somehow, would you

336
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: want Pete Alonso on this on this squad?

337
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I would love a right handed power bat

338
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 4: behind Harper, and I would love to have Schwarber as well.

339
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 4: And I would see if Bryce could go to right

340
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 4: field for a couple of years. So I don't know,

341
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: I think.

342
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: That's I think that's got to be up on the

343
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: that's got to be on the table too.

344
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know how much money you can spend.

345
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 4: Alonso wants a seven year deal. I understand that's negotiating tactic.

346
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 4: You start high and you set up. If I could

347
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: get Pete Alonzo, man he he he posts, he plays

348
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: all the time. He drives in runs, he hits home runs,

349
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 4: he hits doubles. He's a right productive player. It'd be

350
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: a scary right handed bat behind Harper. He's another I

351
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 4: think he's a Boris guy, right, Todd, Oh yeah, yeah,

352
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 4: so he would maybe, uh like Bryce's Boris guy. That

353
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: might be the guy. I think that was the guy

354
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 4: Bryce was referring to when he said he would have

355
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 4: moved to the outfield for certain players. I think Pete

356
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: Alonso is that guy?

357
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: Would you guys view that as uh as running it

358
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: back or making changes?

359
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: If you flip flop Schwarber for Alonso.

360
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 4: I I'm curious, how would you feel about that running back?

361
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be a running it back?

362
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: If you lose, I'd like him both.

363
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now that was interesting is Bryce has said, you know,

364
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: he said in the off season or in spring training

365
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: he would move to the outfield. And I remember talking

366
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: to him mid season about it before the trade deadline.

367
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: That was in actually, I think it was in Chicago

368
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: at when they were playing the White Sox a few

369
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: days before the trade deadline. He said, I'm still open

370
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: to it. I don't want to do it long term though.

371
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I like playing first. Now, if the if they Phillies

372
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: would come and say, listen, we can get Pete Alonzo

373
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: here and we could get Schwarbur, but you might have

374
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: to play outfield for a couple of years. I don't know.

375
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: Maybe the conversation changes. Then have the conversation. You never

376
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: know where it's going to go. Maybe he goes, you

377
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: know what, I'll do this if we if you can

378
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: put together a roster Dave that can win a world series.

379
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: I will go play the outfield, even though I prefer

380
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: to play first base. So that's it's interesting. Interesting. That's

381
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: the type of things that they have to do this offseason.

382
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: I think right.

383
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 4: Lot and you got you got like thirty eight million

384
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 4: coming off the books. When Castianos and uh Tiwan Walker

385
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 4: done after next year, he might be able to do

386
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: something creative defer. What do you think, mister GM.

387
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: He's never deferred. The Phillies have never deferred.

388
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: It's not something they've done. But maybe there's something they

389
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 3: can start to do. Because they're well over budget. Oh yes,

390
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 3: they've been well over budget for the last three or

391
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: four years.

392
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 2: There's hundreds of millions of dollars that I that I

393
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: can tell you assuredly. And even though you know they've

394
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: got asses in the seats and a ton of them,

395
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: they're still well over budget because they don't drive the

396
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: same revenues as the LA Dodgers and the New York

397
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: Yankees do, but their their payrolls are up there with them.

398
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: All right. Question question from Jim and Westchester. Would you

399
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 4: would you sacrifice JT to bring in uh Pete?

400
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't.

401
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: I would not because the pitching is too important, and

402
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 2: the catching is too important the pitching. The catching to

403
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: catch the pitching is too important for me.

404
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 4: No, I hear you what you're saying. It's it's a

405
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 4: vital It's a vital team within a team. J T

406
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 4: and that pitching staff. I'm just the reason why.

407
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: The pitching is the reason why they had so much success.

408
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: Let's just call it what it is.

409
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: It wasn't the offense that had the success throughout the

410
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: entire season.

411
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 3: It was the pitching that kept them afloat.

412
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: And and yeah, absolutely, I think all three of us know,

413
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: and and certainly the pitchers know, and other people know

414
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: that that guy is super important to the success of

415
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: that pitching staff. Trust that guy with their lives.

416
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: Get Pete, Get Pete, and put Bryce and right field.

417
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: Get Pete.

418
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: I love it, Jim. I love where your heads at, Jim.

419
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: I like where your head's at too. I mean, I

420
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: love the cut of your Jim, Jim. People love I

421
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: like it.

422
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: I agree. I think that would be that would be exciting.

423
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: That's definitely happening. Let's create that. Let's do it. Oh,

424
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 3: it's definitely gonna happen. It's the Boris guy. It's you know,

425
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: that's Harper's guys.

426
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 4: Get every Boris guy here.

427
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: That's that's a great point too, is like anytime there's

428
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: a free agent like, well, this guy's connected, they have

429
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: the same agent. It comes down of the money, everybody,

430
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: all right, John Haymon will let us know somebody, somebody

431
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: will let us know before even Scott Boris knows. You're

432
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: gonna hear this stuff in the off season, right, you're

433
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna go, Well, this guy played with Trey Turner in

434
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: a team USA, so there's a connection there. Or this

435
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: guy works spend spent a winter in the off season

436
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: with Kevin Long in Arizona. Can we forget about that stuff?

437
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: If the money is not there, the guy's not gonna go.

438
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna take you.

439
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 4: They're all green backsle this guy went to in and

440
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: out Burger with that guy, exactly right.

441
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of Kevin Long, we got a lot of Kevin

442
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: Long questions, so I'm gonna whittle it.

443
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: Down to this one.

444
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: DJ Saint James on Instagram, T Montgomery ten, Joe Messina, Senior,

445
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: BO ninety two, RB Ham seventy six, they're all on Instagram.

446
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: They all had a question about Kevin Long. Thoughts on

447
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: moving on from Kevin Long.

448
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: I mean, everything was on the table in the off season.

449
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: They're still thinking about their staff. No one's ever talked

450
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: about their staff other than Rob Thompson is the rumor

451
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: and that's not even official yet, but him coming back,

452
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: but we assume based on some of the stuff that's

453
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: out there that he's coming back. But I think they're

454
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: all still sort of assessing the hitting stuff because they've made.

455
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: Changes with the assistant hitting guys a couple of years back.

456
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: They made another change. Do they change the analytics folks?

457
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: What kind of job are they doing?

458
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: Right?

459
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 4: So, Kevin Long made a pretty nice adjustment with Bryce

460
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: and Stott had a pretty nice adjustment mid season with

461
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: j T got a.

462
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 3: Lot of Marshall.

463
00:24:52,600 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 4: Marsh helped Marshal lot resuscitated completely resuscitated Kyle Schwarber's career.

464
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: This year, helped.

465
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: They got something this year. They were number two in

466
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: the majors in batting average number four and on base

467
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 4: number three and slugging number eight, and runs number four

468
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: and ops number six and hard contact number five. In

469
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 4: exit velo, where did Kevin Long screw up? He couldn't

470
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: swing the bat for them in October.

471
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: Where did he screw up? He didn't make the choices

472
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: for them when they went to the plate.

473
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: And they also improved their selectivity this year over the

474
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 4: one sixty two, but not in the playoffs. Gym, maybe

475
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: he won't want to come back.

476
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

477
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: You know, I've been keeping an eye on something with

478
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 4: Kevin Long.

479
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: I've been keeping an eye on that Mets be a

480
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 3: manager and wants to be a manager.

481
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 4: Well, I've been keeping an eye on that Mets hitting

482
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 4: job because Wan Soto loves him. Well, apparently today the

483
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 4: Mets landed on a hitting coach, the director of hitting.

484
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: The guy used to be with the Cardinals. So that

485
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: job is now filled. They filled that on what what's today? Tuesday?

486
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 4: We're filming on Tuesday, right, Todd? Sorry, I believe you secret.

487
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 4: So he won't, he won't. He won't be going to

488
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 4: the Mets. But uh, you know, people can fire Kevin Long.

489
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 4: I'm not one of them.

490
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look at look at you can't swing

491
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: it for him? Absolutely? I mean, did you see what

492
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: the Dodger Andrew Friedman, Dodgers President of Baseball opset about

493
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: the Phillies Uh in Milwaukee press conference, he said the Phillies.

494
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: He said, it is so hard to hit. Hitting a

495
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: baseball is hard, the hardest thing you can possibly do.

496
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: And he said, I've never seen the team execute against

497
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: shoey Otani like the Phillies executed against Shoeyotani. He was

498
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: one for eighteen in that NLDS. Freddy Freeman did nothing

499
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: in the NLDS. And the point being that if you

500
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: have really good pitching, I don't care how talented the

501
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: hitters are. And shoe hey Otani and Freddie Freeman are

502
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famers, and the Phillies shut them

503
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: down because they had great hitching. And so to pin

504
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: that on the Dodgers hitting coach if they had gotten

505
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: knocked out in NLDS, to me would have been crazy,

506
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: just like it to me pinning on Kevin Long Now,

507
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: there could be other changes in the coaching staff, and

508
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: maybe there will be a change.

509
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: Somebody always asked, somebody always has to take somebody's fall,

510
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: and it's never the players.

511
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: Have you ever noticed it's never the player's fault.

512
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: Ever, Well, this year, I do think that there's gonna

513
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: be some changes. I think, well, we all agree there

514
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: will be some changes. So in that sense, shaking up

515
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: the roster will be those guys taking the fall when

516
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: they're not here next year in one way or another.

517
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is something that we can

518
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: answer right now, but what is plan B if JT

519
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Real Muto goes elsewhere? Marshawn and Stubbs, Adleie Rushman. That's

520
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: from Paul Rudman on Facebook.

521
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: Have you guys seen the free agent market?

522
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: It's Salvador Perez who has got like a club option

523
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 2: or mutual option.

524
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 3: It's JT. And then that's it.

525
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: That Doret there's no mad Es now on the trade market.

526
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: Could be different, but there's not.

527
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: There's no catching. No, there's no catching in the whole league,

528
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: the free agent market.

529
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: And I don't see I don't see Adlie Rushman play

530
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: every day, but I can tell you this, he doesn't

531
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: play every day a catcher. He dhs a lot, and

532
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: if you look at his numbers as a catcher, they're

533
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: not very good compared to when he dhs.

534
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 3: So this is a guy that good.

535
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: He's not going to go out and catch one hundred

536
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and thirty games and hit two eighty with thirty bombs

537
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: and ninety RBIs if that's what people are thinking of

538
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: Adlie Rushman. You know, you know, he's just not that

539
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: type of guy. In his career as a DH he's

540
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: got an eight thirty seven ops as a catcher of

541
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: seven to twenty six ops. So catching an offense with

542
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: him does not suit well. And he's not the defensive

543
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: player that that I think.

544
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: And he's had, you know, over the course of his

545
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: last few years, he said, Bryce Harper stumping for him.

546
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 4: And you know Zach Wheeler, strong silent type who doesn't

547
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: say a lot, has to mean a lot about him,

548
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 4: says a lot about him.

549
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: Question for you guys, is this Jim from Westchester?

550
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: Yes, this is.

551
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: First time he's back.

552
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 4: First he's one of those annoying regularly first time long time.

553
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 4: Do the Giants scare you because Jeff Barry, his former agent,

554
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 4: is there?

555
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: Sure? Well, Buster Posey's going to be you know who

556
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: is who he is. He knows how important catching is.

557
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: And the manager might be an ex catcher.

558
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: Aren't they interviewing?

559
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: Isn't are they interviewing? Uh hu Hunley?

560
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 4: No, isn't that a different guy? Nick Hunley? Was he

561
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 4: a catcher?

562
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: I think Hunley was. Nick Humley is a catcher wasn't he.

563
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: I know Todd only would, but I think Nicky was

564
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: a catcher as well.

565
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 4: If I'm not mistaken, Buster you could just see Buster

566
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: would love JT. But I mean, Jeff Berry is one

567
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: of his big advisors, JT's former agent. He knows the

568
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: guy inside out, and they have a need.

569
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: I had called Jim they could. They could very well

570
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: go big on him. Good, very well.

571
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: San Diego too. But I kind of heard some rumblings

572
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 4: they might have to shed a little payroll.

573
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's true. They do have some issues there and

574
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 1: they have no manager right now.

575
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: No money.

576
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But I'm telling you, man, JT. I know

577
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: people got frustrated his offensive performance early in the season,

578
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: and he is. He finished strong. He was great in

579
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: the postseason. But man, do not undersell his impact on

580
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: that pitching staff. We're got, We've got more questions coming up.

581
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: But Rubin, Oh, I gotta get my read together. I

582
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,040

00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: history tie in with them. October thirteenth, nineteen ninety three,

623
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: the Phillies won the NLCS over the that juggernaut team,

624
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: Bob Bobby Cox's Atlanta Braves.

625
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: How about Stormy out on the field in my swingster

626
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: jacket because I was not able to suit up?

627
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: What do you remember about that night?

628
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 3: Five of my boys?

629
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: I would remember I was disappointed I couldn't be in

630
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: uniform number one, but really really happy for the boys.

631
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 3: It was exciting, It was a fun time.

632
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: It was really cool.

633
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 3: I remember holding Dave Hollins' hand as the last picture

634
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: was made. Is that right?

635
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: Yes, certainly that's awesome because you guys were just like

636
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: the vibes to make it happen.

637
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: And the only reason I asked you that's because my

638
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: good friend the game.

639
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: Because I I I only know Dave Hollins from his

640
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: time as a scout. I didn't cover him as a player,

641
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: but he is. He is a great guy to talk to.

642
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: I love talking to Dave Hollins whenever he was around.

643
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: But Uh, I heard he was hard.

644
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: He was hard for you would not enjoyed talking to him,

645
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 4: Boddy Man.

646
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 3: I enjoyed talking to him when he was a player

647
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: because he was intense. Would be a light, the light

648
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: side of it.

649
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 4: I once uh wrote in The Inquirer that talking to

650
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 4: him was like taking a butter knife and putting it

651
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 4: in an electrical outlet. You were going to get zapped.

652
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's a great human being.

653
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 4: He is a good dude. He is a great dude.

654
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: He he was a hell of a scout for me.

655
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 4: Really good and a good, great, great teammate, had everybody's back.

656
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the ultimate Foxhole guy.

657
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: He would have killed for his teammates loved him and

658
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 4: still do.

659
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: A pretty good player in bow Hollands. You can really

660
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: swing it. He's a game cock in a brawl.

661
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: Like you could punch him in the head. You wouldn't

662
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 4: even feel it. You had the thickest cranium on earth.

663
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: That's that was. That was his nickname. Head. Remember they

664
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: remember they waved his head, they weighed his head.

665
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember this.

666
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 4: That is great.

667
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 3: He's a beautiful man. He's a beautiful man.

668
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. So yeah, go again. I want you guys

669

00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: Drawing a ton of T shirts at your supply of

681
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: T shirts from ship, We've got a bunch and they.

682
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 4: Are we talking three hundred and sixty five T shirts.

683
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's three hundred and sixty five. It

684
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: might be, you know, I don't know what the number

685
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: is your.

686
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: Supply, I mean, how many actually means, but it's a

687
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: ton of them. I've seen a ton of T shirts.

688
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: I've seen Jimmy Barbecue. He could probably you know, at

689
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five, you know, you get a

690
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: little barbecue sauce on. Get get those things out one.

691
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a dribbler from a dribbler more ways than one.

692
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: All Right, here we go, Let's go back to the past.

693
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: Let's finish up some questions here.

694
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: This is kind of a thinking one.

695
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: It seems like the Phillies are insisting that Aiden Miller

696
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: is a major league shortstop and not a third baseman.

697
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: Does that mean that Trey Turner eventually transitions to center field?

698
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: This move would potentially fill a major hole at the

699
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: position on the major league roster. That's from ed Edward

700
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: Abrams on Facebook. Do we have any thoughts on that?

701
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: Why not?

702
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he played a great shortstop. But

703
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: if you're gonna let young kids play, he's gotta go

704
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: play somewhere. He might play third base right now. I mean,

705
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: right now he's in shortstop, but he might have to

706
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: move to short third base, he might have to move

707
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: some other position.

708
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 3: But his value, I think is in the infield because

709
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 3: you can play it. He's got some speed. He's really

710
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 3: came on strong at the end of the year.

711
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 2: The early part of the season was slow form, but

712
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: he came on strong late, made the adjustments.

713
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 3: Finally, and he's a real prospect man.

714
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 4: You never know.

715
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: He may very well be in a major league ballpark

716
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: come twenty twenty six, and he might make it out

717
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: of the spring training.

718
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: Who knows.

719
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: Who knows what kind of change they're gonna make. Maybe Crawford,

720
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 2: maybe Miller, maybe they just go young. Who knows anything.

721
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 4: Him being a left side infielder, he's a left side infielder.

722
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 4: If you can play shortstop, you can play anywhere in

723
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 4: the infield. He can play third base. I think he could.

724
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 4: He could be like Turnkey at third base, and that

725
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: could be a position in flocks over the winter. I'm

726
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 4: not saying he's gonna be here opening day, but it

727
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 4: could be something to keep an eye on. They've long

728
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 4: thought he could play third. They've talked about putting him

729
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 4: at second at times, whenever Preston told.

730
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: Us that maybe Boom goes to first, he goes to third,

731
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 3: and you know, Harper goes to right.

732
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe Bom goes to Seattle.

733
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

734
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: Would you guys, move Miller to the outfield at all?

735
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 4: Is that?

736
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 3: I think? I think you keep him in the infield,

737
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: keep him in the ufield and until he can't right right,

738
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 3: So that's a to think about.

739
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Turner moving to the outfield at some point.

740
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: I know we talked about that early in the season

741
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: when he was stro last in the offseason when he

742
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: was struggling as a possibil at some point. But he

743
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: did play good shortstop this year.

744
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 2: So it be tough to move him off the position

745
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: now unless he'll do it for the team and it'll

746
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: really help the team and they can convince him that's

747
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: the way to go.

748
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if that's the right thing

749
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 3: to do.

750
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's I think they'll probably try to

751
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: keep their mind open on a.

752
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: Lot of stuff, and that's one of them.

753
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 4: He's here a long time. I still think he finishes

754
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 4: his career with the Phillies in the outfield, but not

755
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: next year.

756
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, because the guy did everything that was asked.

757
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: He improved his defensive player. You graded out as one

758
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: of the if you did all the work we asked

759
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: you to do, you grated out as one of the

760
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: best defensive shortstops in baseball? Can you move to center

761
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: field for us?

762
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: Please?

763
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: Next year?

764
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: Tough message to send, maybe more likely to Aiden Miller

765
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 2: slides over to the third.

766
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: At least for now, and then slides back to short

767
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: when need be. Who knows.

768
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of bigger Dennis down to Hue on Facebook.

769
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: Should should the Phillies get away from the outfield platoons

770
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: and just get outfielders that are good enough to play

771
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: every day? The system this year didn't really work Kepler, Marsh, Rojas,

772
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: Camp Wilson, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

773
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, worked pretty well. At the end of the year.

774
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: It did.

775
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: We didn't better.

776
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 3: I mean, it didn't work in.

777
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 2: The playoffs because Marsh did not hit. Kepler didn't do

778
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: a lot. Vader got hurt, right.

779
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 4: I mean, your goal is to always have nine men

780
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 4: like you can have the same non regular lineup. You know,

781
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 4: your goal isn't to you know, say, Okay, we're gonna

782
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 4: have platoons all over the place. They kind of become

783
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 4: a necessity when you don't get the production you're looking for.

784
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 4: So the ideal would be would be to have regulars

785
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 4: at every position. So I think they'd like that, sure.

786
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think when people talk about

787
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: this offseason and where like you know, running it back

788
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: and where you're going to see the change, I think

789
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: you're going to see the most change in the outfield.

790
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had to, right, I mean, you're

791
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna have cast the house. We don't expect to be

792
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: back batter. That's maybe our next question. Bat he's a

793
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: free agent mutual option.

794
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 3: Does Justin Crawf for get a chance to play left

795
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 3: field every day? Or centerfield?

796
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 5: Does?

797
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: Because I really don't feel like marsh is a centerfielder.

798
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 2: I think that that that experiment probably is over, but

799
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 2: they may have to be for staff to play him

800
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: in center. I think I'd like to give Justin Crawford

801
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: a shot. If they're going to have a choice between

802
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: the two of them. I like to see Crawford until

803
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 2: he fails in centerfield, play center. Have Marsh play left

804
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: if they can't move him to right. But I think

805
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: Marsh's a really good corner outfielder, especially defensively.

806
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: Who do you think is more likely to make the

807
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: opening day roster right now? Andrew Painter or Justin? C offered, Oh,

808
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: if you had to give an edge to somebody, If

809
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: you had to give an edge to somebody.

810
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: I'd say Painter. At a necessity.

811
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 4: M hm, they could both be there.

812
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean I almost.

813
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 3: I think they both will be there.

814
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 2: I think they both will will on April first or whatever,

815
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: in March thirty, twenty seventh or whatever it is. I

816
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: think they both have a chance to be in this

817
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 2: on the on the roster.

818
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 4: I do too.

819
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: I mean, what is Justin? I mean, Dave Dave said there.

820
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: I would have been comfortable calling up Justin Crawford in

821
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: June or July, but then we went in a different direction.

822
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, what does the guy have to prove in

823
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: triple A hit eight ps? He you know, he's talented player, and.

824
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean he has to stay there. He's going

825
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 3: to have to play.

826
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if he falters, he might have to go

827
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: back and regroup, but hopefully he doesn't, and hopefully he's

828
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 2: ready for his sake and for the teenth break.

829
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 3: That'd be great to have that kind of that speed

830
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 3: weapon be.

831
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: Fun, absolutely, and that would be some fresh blood in

832
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: there as well.

833
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: Think about the speed that they would have then Turner

834
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: Crawford stop and you're talking about you know, talking about

835
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of wheels.

836
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: There, right, And I mean, whoever's playing center field, you

837
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: assume could run as well, if it's marsh or somebody else, right, Uh,

838
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: speaking of that a Heinbach ninety two on Instagram? Do

839
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: they re sign Harrison Bader? I personally would now. On

840
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: our Monday show, we ranked I don't know where Bader

841
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: ended up. He was like third or fourth most likely

842
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: to not return, and that upset a.

843
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 3: Lot everybody, everybody off.

844
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: That ticked everybody out. They did not like us saying that,

845
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 1: I think, look at what we think, what we hope happened? Agreed,

846
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: and and it also was based off the fact that

847
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: he has a mutual option, and mutual options are never exercised,

848
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: so he is going to become a free agent. And

849
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: he's going to want a multi year deal, and the

850
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: Phillies internally are going to have to decide, do we

851
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: believe in the player that he was this year at

852
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: age whatever thirty two, or do we want to look

853
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: at the back of his baseball card and see a

854
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: player that was blow league average the last four or

855
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: five years. So if they believe that he's turned the

856
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: corner can replicate this, then maybe they do sign a

857
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: multi year deal. But if not, then that's kind of

858
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: a gamble. So that's why most mutual's eight million, ten ten,

859
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: ten million.

860
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, suppose you gave me. Suppose you reworked it to

861
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 4: twelve and made the mutual option on twenty seven.

862
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I would there's ways to bring him back

863
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: for a year, but I wouldn't really. I'd be a

864
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: little leery about doing multi year deals with them. And

865
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: I think he's good at command that be able to

866
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: command that. It seems because there's not a whole lot

867
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: of outfielders out there either. I mean, one of Jim's favorites,

868
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 2: Guy Loreano's out there.

869
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 3: I kind of like that. I kind of like that name.

870
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Yeah, you're right, there's no outfielders out there,

871
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 4: but wait till expansion comes.

872
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: You knows, you know, it's funny. They're they're you're looking

873
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: at the free agent list in thewfield.

874
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 3: You're right.

875
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a lot of guys out there,

876
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: and everybody is a left hander.

877
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: And there's there's Tucker, there's Cody and Cody Bellinger and.

878
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 4: Mark Canna. His annual creation appearance.

879
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: Is Trent Grisham doing anything for you? I mean, you know, uh,

880
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's some guys like that. Alex Bregmant

881
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: might be out there again.

882
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 4: There's another nice right handed bat.

883
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, there you go.

884
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 3: I'll take him.

885
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 4: Third sacker, put him behind Harper another.

886
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 3: I wanted to get him last year.

887
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: You did you remember, You're you're stumping on him. Jumping

888
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: on Alex Bregman. Didn't happen last one we got, we

941
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: best conversation out of the out of out of all

942
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,799
