Most hits in a three game 29 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: span since August twenty six, twenty eight, two thousand and seven, 30 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: when the Phillies had forty eight hits again in a 31 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: game against the Padres and two against the Mets.

He could write the line line to line. 67 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: You could not defend him. 68 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: So that was it's been a while. I mean, what 69 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: what a heck of a series. And the offense was 70 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: absolutely fantastic, And let's let's talk about this offense and 71 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: what's kind of going on with some of the hitters 72 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: in the Park's First Pitch. First Pitch is brought to 73 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: us exclusively by our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number 74 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 2: one casino. Let's let's take a look at some of 75 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: the Trey Turner had a hell of a series. GT 76 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: Real Muto a series. I mean, really, anybody all these 77 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: guys did, Couch Schwarber, Bryce and Scott, Bryce, Bryce, Harper, 78 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: Max Kepler had a big series. Who jumped out to 79 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: you guys, any guys, anybody you guys want to uh 80 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: to talk about. 81 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: Everybody? 82 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 4: I mean at you know, the top of the list 83 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: for me probably would be Turner just because he's been 84 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: so electric lately, so entertaining, so difference making after a 85 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: bit of a lull, he kind of had a mid 86 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 4: season loll and he has that quality when that you know, 87 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: like like Harper, like a lot of guys, when when 88 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 4: anybody's hot, team's gonna do better. You know, I see 89 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 4: these stats, Oh there's their their record is such and such. 90 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 4: When somebody somebody hits a home run, your record's always 91 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 4: going to be better when somebody hits a home run. So, 92 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 4: but it's a tremendous impact that Trey Turner is having. 93 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 4: And you know he gets on these long streaks. I 94 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 4: could see him carrying this right into October. He's very, 95 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: very crucial. So he's been fun to watch. 96 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: I found it. I found it really really. This is 97 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: a silly stat, but it's kind of interesting. Last seven games, 98 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: Trey Turner has twenty one hits. The only other Phillies 99 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: player since at least nineteen oh one with twenty one 100 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 2: hits in the seven games span left the Old Duel 101 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty. 102 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: That's a month for some guys. 103 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a good. 104 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Month left the o'duel. 105 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 4: He had a great place in San Francisco, he did. 106 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: I would take you there. 107 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: I've been, Yeah, I've been left the Old Duels back 108 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: in the day, back in. 109 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 4: The day, great corn beef sandwich. 110 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.

I mean, that's 130 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: that's a big one for me, just because he had 131 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 5: been such a major disappointment to me for most of 132 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 5: the season in the early part, and he made a 133 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 5: heck of an adjustment and I thought, uh, you know, 134 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 5: he lowered his hands, and I think you have the 135 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: numbers and stuff since then. 136 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: But pretty pretty awesome. And I will probably discussed that 137 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: a little bit further, but that's the guy for me. 138 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 4: He is, you can the hands adjustment has really paid dividends, 139 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 4: and that's what He's just so much. 140 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: More direct to the ball. You know, a certain pitch 141 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: is still a little bit under it. 142 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 4: Maybe breaking balls, but uh, he's more directed to the 143 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 4: ball on on heaters. And you know it's very it's 144 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: very evident, and all of a sudden, now he's given 145 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 4: you some production at the bottom of the order. 146 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: Very dangerous lineup. 147 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 4: When when he's going like that, I mean he had 148 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 4: at all that length thunder at the bottom, that becomes 149 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 4: a dangerous team. 150 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: How about Max Kepler too? 151 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: Oh r bat yesterday. 152 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: He's turned it on right. 153 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: Did you see that swing yesterday, the way he pulled 154 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: his hands in and kept it fair. 155 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 5: It was a spectacular swing, fastball in, maybe a little 156 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 5: bit off the plate, and he pulled his hands so 157 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 5: nicely that the replay was really good because I wasn't 158 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: there at the game but saw it, and my goodness, 159 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 5: he just pulled his hands in and hit a laser. 160 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: Out to right. 161 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: I mean, hats off to that kid.

And I don't have the numbers, but I 175 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 5: wonder what his numbers are. He plays right field, which 176 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 5: is position comfort zone. It's his an actual position, and 177 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 5: I don't know. And listen, he's not played a lot 178 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 5: because he's played for Casianos from time to time, and 179 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 5: he has been hitting the ball harder consistently. He's probably 180 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 5: the most unlucky player in baseball. 181 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: I mean, he's really his exit velocities, I don't they 182 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 3: much be great. I don't know the actual numbers because 183 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: I don't study those. 184 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 5: What I do study is the fact that he's really 185 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 5: hit the ball hard out for out a lot. 186 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: In this season, and they're finally sort of falling in. 187 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 2: He has started in right field three out of the 188 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: last eleven games, including Wednesday's series finale against Amara's Rubin 189 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: yet mentioned the hard hit numbers, so in the last 190 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: eight games he's batten three to seventy five. But my 191 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: colleague at MLB dot com, Paul Kasself's found wrote this 192 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: in his story Yesterday's Wednesday. His hard hit rate now 193 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: hard hit rate is ninety five or harder, and my 194 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 2: percentage of balls in play hit ninety five miles an 195 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: hour or harder is since the beginning of August fifty 196 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: four and a half percent. Okay, now, I know, you know, 197 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: if people say, hey, give me twenty duck snorters versus 198 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: twenty line drive outs to the outfit, I totally get it. 199 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: Any hit, I absolutely get it. But you know you're 200 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: not gonna get twenty bloop singles usually and then hit. 201 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 2: If you hit the ball hard consistently, you got chances. 202 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: You got chances. Now, And here's here's evidence. Since since 203 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: that cast started keeping track of this stuff, balls hit 204 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: ninety five mile an hour harder an all of Major 205 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: League Baseball all hitters since like twenty twelve batters are 206 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: hitting five fifteen with a slugging percentage over one thousand 207 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 2: and all balls hit ninety four and under batting two 208 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: twenty seven slugging percentage of two sixty seven. So Max 209 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: Kepler's hard hit rate does mean something. It does indicate that, 210 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: you know, eventually the luck does turn, and it seems 211 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 2: to definitely be turning with with Max Kepler. So, uh 212 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 2: so he's and it's interesting, now, there were two consecutive 213 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: Saturdays where Nick did not play and then Max also 214 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: you know, Nick did not play on Wednesday, and it 215 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: sounds like it is going to be a rot outfeel 216 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 2: a little bit more of an outfield rotation going forward. 217 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 2: And that's just maybe, and. 218 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 4: That's what it should be exactly, Ride the hot hand, 219 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: ride the hot hand. 220 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not forcing Max Kepler in the right field, 221 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: and he's hitting like one oh six and just striking 222 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: out every yet bat. He's he's actually hitting the ball 223 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: hard and getting some positive results. So why would you 224 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: not want to go for that? You're trying to. 225 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 5: Interestingly and interestingly, uh Nick has picked it up. 226 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: Maybe that picked him in the ass a little bit. 227 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm fine. 228 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: With this rotation. I like it. It's you know, a 229 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: manager's got to be able to read his team. Charlie 230 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: Manuel could do it know your players. I mean, I 231 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: the one thing I would like to see. 232 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 4: Uh Baiter kind of start knocking down full time in 233 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 4: center field because he's a real difference maker in center 234 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: field and it might get his stick going a little bit. 235 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: But I'm fine with him moving around. 236 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 4: As long as you get results, man, you know, as 237 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 4: long as you get get results. 238 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: It's like this is sort of on Bob. 239 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 4: I was talking to Bob McClure one day and we 240 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: were talking about pitching mechanics, and we're talking about, you know, 241 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 4: getting results and how you know, some guys have. 242 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: Great mechanics, guys don't. 243 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: But in the end, Bob said, I don't care if 244 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 4: you shoot it out your ass if you can put 245 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: it in the box. So I don't care if you 246 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 4: shoot it out your ass if you get results. 247 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, So keep moving around. 248 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 249 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 5: Not only that, and you make you make a great point. 250 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 5: But I think that the beatter thing is going to 251 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 5: happen just because I think that they needed the guys 252 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 5: to start stepping up offensively so that they just lock 253 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: him down in center field. Right, he's trying to find 254 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 5: other things to happen off that offensively. I think they 255 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 5: actually see Bader play more and center now because other 256 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 5: guys are hitting and that defense become plays a little higher. 257 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: Kind of want to see him be the guy in 258 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 4: October because defense is so heightened. 259 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: It's huge, especially in the middle of the diamond. 260 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 261 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 4: So, hey, that was first pitch presented exclusively by our 262 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 4: partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino.

One guy I wanted to 295 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: talk about Fellows that's been on a heck of a 296 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: run more than just eight games or a month. Is 297 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: JT Real Muto JT. Real Muto, like I mentioned at 298 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: the top, is on this in this series. Excuse me, 299 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: six for twelve, one double, two home runs, four RBIs. 300 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: He's been on a heck of a run since now. 301 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: May thirty first, JT was hitting two twenty two with 302 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: a six fifty four OPS. Not great. People thought he 303 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: was done. 304 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: People thought he said he's done. People thought he was 305 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 3: Harry signing done. 306 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: Yet people thought he was cooked. They're like, oh, you know, 307 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, they traded away Logan, Oh hoppy, Yeah, yeah, 308 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: this is a massive mistake, you know, like you know, 309 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: they're Since May thirty first, JT is batting three twenty 310 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: four with an eight twelve OPS. That's the he has 311 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: the third highest batting average in all of baseball since 312 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: since the beginning of June, he's got the he's tied 313 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: for twenty third and on base percentage at three sixty five. 314 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: He's fifty seventh in slugging percentage. That's out of one 315 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: hundred and forty one players, So he's like top almost 316 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: top third in slugging percentage and he's forty ninth in 317 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: OPS since the beginning of June, so kind of makes it. 318 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: We've been talking for weeks, right, I mean, every every 319 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: time we take a question, or Kyle Schwarber hits another 320 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: four home runs a week, we go, oh my god, 321 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: he got to sign the guy. What's that number going 322 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: to be? We've talked a little bit about JT, but 323 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: now the way he's playing, and say he carries us 324 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: in through the rest of the season becomes a little 325 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: bit more interesting. And what you're gonna do with JT, 326 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: because if you look at the list of free agent 327 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: catches that are available, he's going to be the guy 328 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: that everybody's gonna want. Because you have Salvador Perez, this 329 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 2: is a potential free agent, but the Royals have a 330 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: club option. You know, Danny Janssen could be available. There's 331 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: a mutual option, so he'll probably be available. The rest 332 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: of that list, though, guys, tell me who you'd want 333 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: over j T, real Muto in this group. I believe 334 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: this this list is, as far as I know, mostly accurate. 335 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: You have James McCann, Gary Sanchez, Victor Carrattini, Elias Diaz 336 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 2: who's got a seven seven million dollar mutual option, Austin Hedges, 337 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: Martin Maldonado, Jacob Stong's, Christian Basquez, Thomas Nido, Tom Murphy, 338 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: Luke Mayley any flow flow, heavy. 339 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 7: Flow, no, no flow, no flowlow. 340 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 2: Okay. So now imagine you're these you know, the San 341 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: Diego padres, Oh, and you need a catcher. 342 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 3: Who are you going after? 343 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: Who you calling up? 344 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm cooling, agent. 345 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: Aj REGs calling ghostbusters exactly right. 346 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: What do we think of JT right now and how 347 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: he's been hitting it. 348 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 4: I think he's on a run that reminds me a lot, 349 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 4: not to dodge the contract question, but he's on a 350 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 4: run that ron reminds me a lot of twenty twenty two. 351 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 4: If you go back and look what he did from 352 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 4: about mid June on when Harper broke his thumb in 353 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 4: San Diego that night, had his thumb broken, JT went 354 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 4: nuts at the plate and was a humongo difference maker. 355 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 4: And he's swinging it just like that, very confident, pulling 356 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 4: the balls he should be pulling with some pop, just 357 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 4: really playing all around a good game. I means to me, 358 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 4: he's you know right now, the way he's playing, he's 359 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 4: indispensable and the impact he has on that pitcher staff. 360 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 4: But as far as the contract, I'm just concentrating on 361 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 4: one thing right now and organizationally, and that's winning the 362 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 4: freaking World Series and deal with that later. But I mean, 363 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 4: I think you gotta have him back. 364 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 3: I'm just any question. 365 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 5: They got to bring him back just because, first of 366 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 5: all the importance of the position itself. This is a 367 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 5: team that is good at whatever happens with Zach Wheeler, 368 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 5: it really. 369 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 3: That doesn't matter. 370 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 5: What really matters is somebody to manage this staff through games. 371 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 5: And nobody has the more trust from his pitching staff 372 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 5: than this guy. 373 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: For so many reasons. 374 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 5: He's really grown as a as a play called pitch caller, he's. 375 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 3: Grown as a leader. 376 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 5: He's grown in so many different ways and areas that 377 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 5: he has become quite indispensable. And he's starting to get 378 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 5: to the point where he's almost as important as Kyle 379 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 5: Schwarber moving forward. But you're right, Jim, this is about 380 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 5: winning the World Series right now. And the one thing 381 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 5: I will say about is about his offense is he 382 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 5: is very stubborn about his leg kick. 383 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: He believed that that is something that he has to do. 384 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 2: But they've abbreviated it. 385 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: They've not He no longer has a long elongated time 386 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 3: in the air with his front foot. He has gotten 387 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 3: his foot down earlier. 388 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 5: And as we've talked about forever, if you get your 389 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 5: foot down in time, you can put a you know, 390 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 5: your barrel on a bullet. And that's something that Charlie 391 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: Mann used to say all the time. And you can 392 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 5: make swing decisions much better because you see the ball 393 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 5: longer with your eyes and your body. 394 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 3: And so that's what he's done. It's really helped. 395 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 5: And you got to give k Long and his staff 396 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 5: a lot of credit for that as well, and along 397 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 5: with what he did with the hand position change with 398 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 5: Bryce and Stott, because both those moves have made immediate 399 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 5: and drastic impact on this offense. 400 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny the leg kick. 401 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 4: It's to me, it's always just personally, I find it 402 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 4: really kind of a polarizing thing, almost like the head 403 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 4: for a slide. 404 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: For me, I. 405 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 4: Contemplate all the time the necessity of it, but I 406 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: don't want to get on a tangent. 407 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: But I'm not. 408 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 4: I think it's overused. I think the leg kick is overused. 409 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 4: I think more more guys need a stride, you know, 410 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 4: shift your weight with a stride. It's less less moving parts. 411 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 4: But you know, some guys swear by the leg kick 412 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 4: enhances their load, which enhances how hard to hit the ball. 413 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 4: I don't know, but certainly if you can get it 414 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 4: down and you make. 415 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: An adjustment, you have success. 416 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 4: That Bill's confidence and right now, real Mudo is a 417 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 4: very confident player. 418 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 5: Hey, let me just say something about the leg cack 419 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 5: and the and the and the glide and the slide. 420 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 5: I left handed, was a leg kicker right handed. I 421 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 5: was just a normal they'll pick it up and and 422 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 5: and shift. 423 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: Your weight, yeah, strider. 424 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 5: I was a leg kicker left handed and a strider 425 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 5: right handed. And I mean I I had a better 426 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 5: minor league career left hitting left handed, better major league 427 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 5: career hitting right handed. But it was just a different 428 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 5: style for me. I just had different loads, which is weird. 429 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: Well, it's funny, Rubeny, he said. JT's kind of stubborn 430 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 2: with the leg kick. I remember, I think we were 431 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 2: in Saint Louis one year and he was kind of 432 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: going through it and Rob had said, ah, you know, 433 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 2: his leg kicks just kind of out of whack. And 434 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: if you ever want to irritate JT meant, the leg 435 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: kick ain't work because you can see the blood draining 436 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: from her face because I think I don't know who 437 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 2: asked the question. It might have been me. I said, yeah, 438 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: you know, you know, the leg kicks not really working 439 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 2: for you, like kind of like that time I asked 440 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 2: Doc Holliday if he's in the zone too much. 441 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,719 Speaker 4: That was a very uncomfortable moment in Cincinnati. I'll never 442 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 4: forget that he wanted to pinch your head off, JT. 443 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 2: When we asked him about the leg kick where I 444 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: think it was again, I think it was in Saint Louis. 445 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 2: He also looked like he wanted to pinch that questioner's 446 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: head off because he's like, this is my thing, you know, 447 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 2: ain't I ain't get rid of the leg kicks. 448 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: So well, if I. 449 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 4: Could mention one more thing, I mean, Ruben mentioned Zach 450 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 4: Wheeler by name, not knowing what's going to happen this 451 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 4: series against Seattle. You know, it begins on the day 452 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 4: that Zach has this procedure to remove the blood clot 453 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 4: and then they go out and they put the Seattle 454 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: Mariners through the wood chipper, right. I mean, that is 455 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 4: a great response emotionally and tangibly. I just thought they 456 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 4: showed a lot of character on the day you lose 457 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 4: the best picture in baseball, you go out and have 458 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 4: the historic season. 459 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: It had to ripple through. 460 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 4: That clubhouse and the feeling has to be you know, yeah, 461 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 4: it sucks to lose that guy, but we got this. 462 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 4: We can do this. 463 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 464 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting to talk hear the people about. 465 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 3: You know, burn the boats. Burn the boats. It's the 466 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: new thing, right like, go go. 467 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 5: After it, go right after it, don't don't think about it, 468 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 5: and put all your heart and soul into it. And 469 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 5: it just really seems like the Phillies have done that 470 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 5: and there been a resilient team. 471 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: Like all for years. 472 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: For years they've had horendous series against bad teams and 473 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 3: then they'll bounce back and play like a. 474 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 5: You know, a you know, top two or three team 475 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 5: and win two out of three or three out of four. 476 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: They they have the ability to like block out the 477 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 3: noise and go play baseball. 478 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 5: And that's that's a really big quality, especially when it 479 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 5: comes to playoff time. 480 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 3: Hopefully they can do it this year. 481 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 4: And you know, we got Nola going on Saturday. To me, 482 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 4: he's been here a decade, he's never been more important 483 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 4: to this team. I don't know how he's going to pitch. 484 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 4: I don't you know, you can't be brimming with confidence 485 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 4: because the way he's pitched this year and the way 486 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 4: he pitched Sunday. But if he's ever gonna look like 487 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 4: the old Aronola boy, they need him these next six weeks, 488 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 4: next two month on Signita right hander in that rotation. 489 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 4: There's missing Wheeler. If he if he could dial it up, 490 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 4: what a story that would be. You know, I don't 491 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 4: know what's gonna happen, but he's certainly gonna have that 492 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 4: opportunity to impact this season the way he would have 493 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 4: hoped to had he stayed healthy. 494 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 2: So I want to talk a little bit more about 495 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: some of these pitching performances this week in Seattle. But first, 496 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: you know, we've all been where we're gonna be at 497 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: Parks Casino. Soon, we're gonna be hanging out.
