00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: So we asked so we're gonna kick off twenty twenty

Speaker 2: six by we're kicking off twenty twenty six by asking

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: you guys, or we asked you guys the other day

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: to send us your questions about the Phillies, of course,

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: and let's jump right into it. A question from Facebook

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: This is from Christopher Jenesco. He says Bryce is getting

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: some attention. Bryce, Bryce Harper got attention for his not

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: elite T shirt. Is this Bryce trying to find some

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: motivation or is he really holding a grudge. If you're

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: watching us on YouTube, of course, you can see the

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: image the screen grab of Harper. He posted it on

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: TikTok the other a little VP session and if you

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: zoom in real close, that long.

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: Sleeve black T shirt says not elite, of.

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: Course, referring to the comments that Dave Dombrowski made a

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: week after the NLDS wondering is elite?

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out he didn't have an elite season.

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Hey baby, they've talked. They've talked.

38
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: You know, I thought it's interesting.

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: I thought this might go away once they actually chatted.

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: And this is, you know, something that you would think,

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 4: you know much to do about.

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: Nothing nothing to see here, nothing to see here.

43
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: But the fact that he threw that shirt on. I'm

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 4: not sure whether he's trolling, whether he's trying to get

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: a little attention, whether he's trying to motivate himself.

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 5: But it also sort of revives the whole discussion. I mean,

47
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: I can't wait for, you know.

48
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 4: His first press conference in spring training when he's like, oh,

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: that didn't mean amy or whatever. I mean, it's just

50
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: very very strange for him to have brought it up.

51
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the motivation. Maybe he's just trolling,

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: being a funny guy who knows, but it sort of

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: spikes and strikes up, you know, more food for fodder,

54
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: especially for the media folk, and you know, for people

55
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: who are sort of wondering, what's this all about.

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: Is he still really upset? Is he not upset?

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: Is he gonna use this to motivate himself. Is he

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: sending a message back to Dave Dombrowski.

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 5: I don't know.

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: But there's a couple of things that at hand here

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: that you know, you thought might go away by the

62
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: time you rolled into spring training, but apparently it did not.

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: Because I know the questions are gonna come out, and

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: guys like you, you writers.

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: You're gonna be asking that question immediately, right, Jim.

66
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Rubin, don't separate yourself from us. You are a card

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: carrying member of the media.

68
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 5: Now I'm on the other side, I'm on the dark side.

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: You have the dark side baby, you've you're.

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,279
Speaker 1: Over there now. But you know, I think you articulated

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: it well. I have all the same feelings. At first,

72
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of funny. Then I said

73
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: it's kind antagonistic. Then I was like, I thought this

74
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: went away and he's now picking the scab off and

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be talking about it. Hey, he's the showman.

76
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: That's his nickname, that's his m O. And there's some

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: showman to this. If he had done it like two

78
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: weeks earlier, the entrepreneurs would have been printing that shirt

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: up and it would have been under every Christmas tree,

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: including maybe mine. But you know, the question was is

81
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 1: he doing this for motivation or is he holding a grudge?

82
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: I would say a little bit of both. Maybe grudge

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: is too strong in a word. But I do think

84
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: he's poking back. I mean, he said he's told Gelby

85
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: he was hurt by those comments. He's poking back. He's

86
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: you know, making it known. It's in the back of

87
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: his mind. If he channels it the right way, and

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I think he will. I think he's smart enough to

89
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: channel it the right way. I think it could be

90
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: great motivation Because Bryce, I like Bryce Harper with a

91
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: little sneer, with a little edge, with a little ticked off.

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I like that as long as he's not overswinging. But

93
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: we you know, this little edge, he might be like

94
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: top three of the MVP next year and then he can,

95
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, put the shirt back on it.

96
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: It'll say elap so here.

97
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: So let me just make one another comment. That's a

98
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 5: great point. Great, that's a great point, jim I love it.

99
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: But you know, I strike back, and I just had

100
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: a nice conversation with my one of my mentors, Pat Gillick,

101
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: were recently, and I strike back to the thought process

102
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: when Pat Gillick said, after that, I think of the

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: two thousand and six season, either two thousand and five

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: or two thousand and six season, he said, we're really

105
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: not that good. I mean he basically challenged the team

106
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: and said, you know, we're kind of quite a ways away.

107
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: And I think that that sort of pissed off some

108
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 4: of the some of.

109
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 5: The core players.

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: Jimmy admitted it, and and it made them and right,

111
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: and it made them.

112
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: Sort of motivated him a little bit.

113
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: Maybe Dave Dombrowski's brilliant in his in his messaging.

114
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 5: I don't know.

115
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 4: I don't know that he had that, no way, I'm

116
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: not sure if he had that as part of his

117
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 4: you know, I think he was just being honest, honestly.

118
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: I think he was just answering a question. Honestly, I

119
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: don't think it was a messaging thing. But you're right, Jim,

120
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: whatever it takes to motivate a player, or your players

121
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: or your employees, then if it works, then it's brilliant

122
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: and hopefully, and I would think I agree with you,

123
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: Harper's going to take it in a positive way and

124
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: show the world that he's one of the best players

125
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: in the world.

126
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Again, look when he did to Arcia, when he got

127
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: pissed off at Arcia hits two bombs that night. I mean, guys,

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, I hear him get heckled in the on

129
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: deck circle and he hits a two hopper off the

130
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, in the gap. You know, I do think

131
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: I think he knows how to use this stuff the

132
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: right way. And I don't think it was premeditated on

133
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Dave's part. And I thought we were done talking about

134
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: this obviously, But I don't think Dave is that cunning.

135
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: I think he's really kind of you know, buy the

136
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: book buttoned up. I don't think that's his style, but

137
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: I do think he was just being honest and his

138
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: where Dave kind of followed off a little bit. He

139
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: didn't point out that Harper had been hurt, missed a

140
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: month and played through some stuff. I think if you're

141
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: going to offer like a you know, comprehensive critique, that

142
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: has to be pointed out. But nonetheless, I'm a little

143
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: bit entertained by this and very very curious to see

144
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: where it goes and how it impacts his twenty six season.

145
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on the top.

146
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I just thought the first reaction was

147
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: I laughed when I saw it.

148
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: I said, oh my god, this is brilliant. I loved it.

149
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: I loved it.

150
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: You know, to see Bryce Harper react that way and listen,

151
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: don't anybody think that video posted on TikTok, this thing

152
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: blew up. He said, Oh my god, I can't believe

153
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: I wore my not elite T shirt.

154
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: You know, you know what I mean.

155
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: Bryce is very he knows what's on. Yeah, he knows

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: that message. That was very purposeful. That was that was

157
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: a great message on his part. I think, you know,

158
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: you guys hit on it very well. But I think

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: it's a combination of h he's a little ticked off,

160
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: maybe it's still a little hurt. He's using this as motivation.

161
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: I think he thinks the T shirt was a little funny.

162
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: Maybe he kind of chuckles when he put it on

163
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: and said, I'm going to wear this and see how

164
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: people react.

165
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: I think it's all of those things.

166
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: And I do think going back to October that Dave

167
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: Dave was just being honest, you know, and and talking

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: to other people and and and about Dave. And I

169
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: don't think he went in there going like I'm going

170
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 2: into it.

171
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: I hope if someone.

172
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: Asked me about Bryce because I'm gonna light him up,

173
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna light him up.

174
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't think that was it.

175
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: I think he was asked a question by mac Elbin

176
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: and he was just being honest about it.

177
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: They talked, they hashed it out.

178
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if if he is Bryce is angry

179
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: at Dave Dombrowski. I think he's just using it as

180
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: as motivation. I mean, we'll find out, I guess on

181
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: February twelfth, whenever Bryce gets there and say, hey.

182
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: What's your relationship leg with Dave and we'll see what

183
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: his tone is.

184
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see how he responds to what

185
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: There have been times where we've asked him about certain

186
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: stuff and he goes, come on, you guys know I

187
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: remember once he shaved.

188
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: I think he shaved his head or his all of

189
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: his facial hair. In San Diego.

190
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: He's in a bad slump and we asked him, Hey,

191
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: what's with the facial hair? Goes, come on, you guys

192
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: aren't stupid. You know why I did this? And then

193
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: he just left that. I was like, okay, he's clearly

194
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: trying to change his luck the RCA thing. He's like, yeah, yeah,

195
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: of course, yeah, you know why I stared him down.

196
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: So it will be kind of fun to see again.

197
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: February twelfth, whatever day he talks, how he handles it.

198
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: Does he laugh it off?

199
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: Does he say yeah, I'm more I'm pissed off as

200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: I've ever been. You know this, I didn't need motivation,

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: but man, you know a little extra motivation doesn't hurt.

202
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: Does he say?

203
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: Go to Bryce Harper dot com to buy all your

204
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: not elite T shirts.

205
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: Under Armour. Go to under armour to find out elite.

206
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 5: You see a couple of commercials not elite.

207
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: You never know exactly right, exactly right, you know.

208
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: But all those people, those T shirt makers on Etsy

209
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: right now, they're sitting there going, like you said, Jim,

210
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: they're going, Ah, two weeks earlier, we could have I

211
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: could have made a little extra cash for the Holliday.

212
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: He's always been very savvy when it comes to messaging.

213
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: And I just think back to the workouts during the

214
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: pandemic at Citizens Bank Park when when he yelled, there

215
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: was nobody in the ballpark except us and management and JT.

216
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: Realmudo comes up to the plane and yells sign him

217
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: and it echoes all across Citizen his back park. Yep,

218
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: that's messaging. And he's done other little made other little comments.

219
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: I would have loved that at the GM by the way.

220
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean everything from his shoes.

221
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: You know he's got the wah wah shoes. You know,

222
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: he's you know, he thinks about this stuff, the bat shoes,

223
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: fag Yeah, all that stuff, the bat he's gonna wear

224
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: bring to London for the London series. You know, he

225
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: thinks about all this stuff. And so yeah, it was

226
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: it was purposeful and it's it's slide at home in London,

227
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: slide at home in London, he thought that out if

228
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: he was going to hit a home run in London.

229
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: You know, all that stuff is is he thinks about

230
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 2: all these things. And I tell you what, it makes

231
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: spring training a little bit more interesting. It makes twenty

232
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: twenty six a lot more interesting to see kind of

233
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: what how he answers, how he answers that challenge of

234
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: being elite or not elite. So, uh, if you're watching

241
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,280

242

Speaker 2: the day? And the winner is going to win a

Speaker 5: Nice.

245
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: So think Ruben mentioned Pat Gillick and how he said

246
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: that oh sixteen was was, you know, several years away,

247
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean that was such a timely conversation

248
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: with you and Pat, because Jimmy Rollins on our last

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: episode referred, you know, directly to that and how it

250
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: ticked him off and it was a motivator. So I mean,

251
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: it's timely what you're saying today. But also everybody go

252
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: back and watch that Jimmy Carter saw part.

253
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 5: Part one, end part two.

254
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: There.

255
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: Jimmy was just spectacular. He was He's fun to be around,

256
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 5: fun to talk to.

257
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: Uh never, he never disappoints, never disappoints, a lot of laughs,

258
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: a few surprises at the end of Jimmy's off the

259
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: field businesses that he's involved in, and all sorts of

260
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: great stuff. Hall of Fame Talk twenty twenty six, Phillies Talk.

261
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: I remember Aaron rowand at when they clinched the NL

262
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: East in two thousand and seven, directly referencing Pat Gillick.

263
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: I remember Pat, you know when he said last year

264
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: that we you know, we were years away, and we

265
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: proved him wrong. And so that was definitely something that

266
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: they talked about behind the scenes.

267
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: So all right, here we go. Let's here, let's get

268
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 3: to some questions here.

269
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: This is from Kevin Demico on X how do you

270
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: feel about ESPN's take that the Phillies have a bottom

271
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: five outfield and maybe the single worst outfield in.

272
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball.

273
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: This is this being after Dave Debrowski said, the outfield

274
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: is pretty much set.

275
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: This is something that popped up in my x feed

276
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 3: twitter feed the other day.

277
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: It was Buster ony and and Paul Gosh.

278
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,239
Speaker 3: And I'm hembo.

279
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: Hembo, Yeah, hembo, basically going through with the stats and saying,

280
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: you know, Adolas Garcia last year like last and non

281
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: base percentage of all qualified hitters, they have justin Crawford

282
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: with a sixty one percent round ball rate. You have

283
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: Brandon marsh who the Phillies have even said is is

284
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: not you know, quality against left handed pitching. He's gonna

285
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: be a platoon guy. So you can make the argument

286
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: for sure that the outfield is could be one of

287
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: the worst.

288
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball. But how do you guys feel about it?

289
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: I think, you know, in December or here in January. First,

290
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: it's fair to point that out. I mean last year

291
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: they were you know, below average offensively, and I think

292
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: they were just just about at the bottom defensively. And

293
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of these advanced metrics and to

294
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: me they don't look very improved. So but I also,

295
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, time will tell you're banking on Garcia having

296
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: a bounce back year and after those two dreadful years.

297
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 5: That might be.

298
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: Unrealistic, but you know, you've got to let it play out.

299
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: But I do think it's it's it's a weak spot

300
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: on the team. We're gonna find out how weak. We're

301
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: gonna find out if it's a little if it's a

302
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: little bit improved. And I think it could be a

303
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: unit that is continues to evolve as the season goes on,

304
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: trade deadline approaches, things like that, as you get a

305
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: read on Crawford, as you get a read on what

306
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna get from Garcia. So you know it's it's it.

307
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: It's the unspectacular unit at best. We're gonna find out.

308
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you can't walk away when we talk

309
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 4: about this all the time. What's what's on the back

310
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: of that baseball card? And if you look at the

311
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: back of the baseball card, it's it's not a very

312
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: good outfield. It's as simple as that. You don't know

313
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 4: what you're gonna get out of Crawford. Obviously, that is

314
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 4: to me sort of the wild card. You just don't

315
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: know what kind of production he's going to give you.

316
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: As a rookie player playing every day in center field

317
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia for a contending team now Garcia. They're hoping

318
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: that he bounces back, but there's no evidence that he

319
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: necessarily will do that. In Marsh, you got a guy

320
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: who has really sort of struggled against left handers. He

321
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 4: did pick it up at the second from you know,

322
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: April thirtieth on. He did have a pretty darn good

323
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: year offensively against right handers, but he hasn't proven.

324
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 5: To anybody that he is an every day.

325
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 4: Left fielder or centerfielder. So yeah, I mean to look

326
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: at the back of the baseball cards. It's not a

327
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 4: great outfield and it's probably well below average, but you

328
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: just don't know.

329
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 5: You have to play the games out As Jim said.

330
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 4: I gotta believe that it's something that the Phillies will

331
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: continue to look at. It's something that they're hopeful that.

332
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: I think that we believe in Otto Kemp as a

333
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: right handed platoon type of a guy to help Marsh.

334
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 5: Maybe that adds to their offense.

335
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: Again, a little bit of a crap shoot because Otto Camp,

336
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 4: while he had a nice uh you return to the

337
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: big leagues and then they believe in him, he still

338
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 4: really hasn't put up those numbers. So uh yeah, you're

339
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 4: you're you're taking some chances here. The Phillies have put

340
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 4: themselves in between the rock and a hard place by

341
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: signing the long term deals.

342
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 5: The Turners, the Harper's and uh.

343
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: You know, the Nola's and Schwarbers of the world, and

344
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 4: they've sort of painted themselves into a little bit of

345
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: a u into a corner as far as their outfield

346
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: production is concerned, because they can't really spend on the

347
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 4: outfield because they spent it all on their pitching and

348
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: their core players.

349
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 5: So they're in a tough spot.

350
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: And we we talked about this at the beginning of

351
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 4: the offseason that uh, you know, David Browski could have

352
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: to thread the needle. They're hopeful that threading the needle

353
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 4: includes having bounced back years from from Garcia and more

354
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: development from marsh and and the hope that infusing some

355
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: young talent in a guy like Crawford will help this team.

356
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 2: It just kills him that Nick casts a deal was

357
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: such a you know, a flop. I guess you could say,

358
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: five years, one hundred million dollars. They've heard him getting

359
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: a perennial All Star player, you know, so they signed

360
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: him to that big contract and you know, our buddy

361
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: Aircrats on Foul Territory last week or recently was talking

362
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: about how, you know, Phillies fans should be careful what

363
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: they wish for and not not wanting to have Nick

364
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: Castias back. And you know that's not a fan driven move.

365
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: It's not like fans are so angry with Nick Castiano

366
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: that they want him out of here like just and

367
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: now the front office is reacting saying, we got to

368
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: get this guy out of here because fans are going

369
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: to kill him next year. This is something that the

370
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: front office and the manager and the coaching staff want

371
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: to happen. They want they want him out of the clubhouse.

372
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 2: He does not want to be in the clubhouse. They

373
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: don't want him in the clubhouse. And so they they

374
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: kind of so they're they've decided to make this decision.

375
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: So he's not going to be back next year. And

376
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: now essentially they've committed thirty million dollars to a Dolas

377
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: Garcia to be the right fielder, twenty million dollars in

378
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: dead money to Nick Castianos, and ten million dollars on

379
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: a hope and a prayer that Garcia can bounce back

380
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: and be somewhat more productive. But they're I think they're

381
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: looking a lot of this. They're hoping that there's addition

382
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: by subtraction in a lot of ways. You know, you

383
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: take a guy that doesn't want to be there, you

384
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: get him out, and you hope. Everything I've heard about

385
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: Garcia is that he's a great guy. He's upbeat, he's energetic,

386
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: he's well liked by his teammates, and you hope that

387
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: he can find something even incrementally, be incrementally better. Talking

388
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: about Pat Gillick, you always said that, Ruben, right, I mean,

389
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: just get it incrementally, just a little bit better. Maybe

390
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: he can be a little bit better than he was

391
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: last two years and be better than Nick Castianos, and

392
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: maybe that'll be a big plus.

393
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 5: So it's all about helping him win games.

394
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 4: I mean, whether it's on the defensive side of the

395
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 4: ball or the offensive side of the ball. If he

396
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: can help them win more games than Castianos was going.

397
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 5: To help them do, and that's certainly a plus.

398
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: And you're so right, Todd, that it's not a fan

399
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: driven move. Yeah, not at all.

400
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

401
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: So Sean Siffel on Facebook, how much longer do you

402
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: think the Phillies will wait for a decision from j

403
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: T real Mito. It kind of feels like he is

404
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: holding the team hostage. At some point, the Phillies need

405
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: to walk away. A lot of JT questions if JT

406
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 2: moves off, if the Phillies move off JT. This is

407
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 2: from T grow TONI on X, do you see them

408
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 2: allocating money to another need tea worth on X? Who

409
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: else is showing interest in JT? Don't see a real

410
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: market for him, certainly at his age he wants to

411
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: play for contender, et cetera, et cetera. So how long

412
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: do you think they can they can wait? Do they

413
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: just have to wait it out?

414
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 5: Well?

415
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: I think it's how long? How long can j How

416
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: long can JT? Wait?

417
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: As well?

418
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: I think at some point he's going to want to

419
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: know where the heck he's going. Yeah, I actually we've

420
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: talked a lot about we know the Phillies have made

421
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: an offer. I actually think they are at three years.

422
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: I'm trying to put some pieces of the puzzle too.

423
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: I think they're at three years, and I think they

424
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: knew they were gonna have to go three years, because

425
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: you give the extra year to get a guy off

426
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: the market. Maybe there's a two year and a three

427
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: year proposal. I mean, they do all these things, but

428
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: I think they're probably at three years, and I think

429
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: the staredown is over the over the salary, over the money.

430
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: If they can close it, they'll get it done. But

431
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: how long can they wait? I mean they're they're I

432
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: think they can wait a little bit because I agree

433
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: with the with the question. I don't see a huge market.

434
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: For sure, I don't. I'm not sure how long Dave Dombrowski.

435
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 4: At some point Dave is going to say, hey, let's

436
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 4: es or get off the pot. It's time to make

437
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: a move. We need to, you know, move forward with

438
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 4: this ball club and try to figure out how we're

439
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: gonna put together nine players on that field. And I

440
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: think it's also sort of like and I don't necessarily

441
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 4: think think that they would allocate money differently. They could,

442
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: and it could at least give them an opportunity to

443
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 4: do some different things. There's still two third baseman infielders

444
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: out there, right handed hitters that could impact this team

445
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: in some way, and the fact that they have a

446
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: right handed hitting third basement right now on their team.

447
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: All of those machinations, the things that could happen if

448
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 4: JT doesn't sign. There's a lot of different pieces that

449
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: could move around. Who knows who's heavy on Bregmant, who's

450
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 4: heavy on Bishet, who might be interested in a guy

451
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: like Alec Bohm if the Phillies decide to move from

452
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 4: him and then try to sign one of those other

453
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 4: two free agents. There's so many different things that can happen,

454
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: and none of it can happen until they know exactly

455
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: what's going on with JT. So at some point I

456
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: think that Dave Dombrowski, and I'm not saying they're necessarily

457
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: on those other players, but it gives them an opportunity

458
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 4: to me maybe explore some things if they know whether

459
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: JT's in or out. And I think at some point,

460
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: Dave Dombrowski, if I was sitting in his seat right now,

461
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 4: I would not wait too much longer. I would not

462
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 4: wait past the middle of January for me to make

463
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: these moves because all of these different things that I

464
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 4: could do to make this team a little bit better

465
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 4: could go away and uh and and that would be

466
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: a detriment to the Phillies.

467
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: That's just my thought. As an next GM, you can

468
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 5: only wait so long, and I disagree with you, Jim.

469
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: I think they're sticking to two. I think they're staying

470
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 5: on two, and I think that's the reason why he

471
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 5: hasn't signed.

472
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying I think I'll sign, Well if

473
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: it's three and he what if it's three and he's not,

474
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, he thinks it's too much for pay cut?

475
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: You know, Well that's a possibility, But I just don't.

476
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 4: I think the Phillies are gonna stick to their guns

477
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 4: and stay on the two.

478
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: Years, and it might end up too with a higher AAV.

479
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: I just I think there might be a proposal on

480
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: each side. Two three maybe. And I think my feel

481
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: is the big stumbling block is probably the Mary.

482
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

483
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: Was he twenty three last year and a half?

484
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, twenty two to twenty five year one

485
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen point five.

486
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 5: So it was over twenty three.

487
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was twenty three to one or something.

488
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: So the numbers you hear and are big. The numbers

489
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: you hear represent a significant pay cut.

490
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, But the market is what it is. I mean,

491
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,239
Speaker 5: if you look at the market, the market is what

492
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: it is.

493
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 4: And I know if it's a pay cut, but maybe

494
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 4: he was overpaid for the twenty three million a year.

495
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's gonna be you know, Ruben,

496
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 2: Like behind the scenes, how confident can a front office

497
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 2: get in terms of knowing or as much as you

498
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: can know what the market is for a particular player

499
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: In other words, the Phillies front office right now, how

500
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: how much of a sense do they have? Like, listen,

501
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: there's nobody else out there that's going to offer what

502
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: we're going to offer, Like like do you? I guess

503
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: you can't never truly know, right, I mean, I.

504
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: Mean that's the difficulty of being in the position on

505
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 4: the on the team side is that you probably don't

506
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 4: know who's really interested. On the players and the players

507
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 4: association side, they may very well know all the information

508
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: and they probably do.

509
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 5: And that's the difficulty.

510
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 4: And you know, the reason why you can't have conclusion

511
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: and all that other stuff is that these these players

512
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: can choose and get all the information while the teams

513
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: don't know any of it. They don't have any idea

514
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: whether the San Francisco Giants or the Mets or whoever

515
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 4: it is is actually in on this player. And so

516
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: none of that and none of that information can can

517
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 4: be tossed now you can. You can surmise, or you

518
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: can listen, or you have your scouts do as much

519
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 4: you know, and some of the front office people do

520
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 4: as much recount.

521
00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 5: As you can.

522
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: But I mean, the confidence that you have right now

523
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: is the guy's not signed, right he's either getting a

524
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: deal that he doesn't that he likes, that he doesn't

525
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 4: like from that particular team and doesn't want to play

526
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: for that team, or he's just not getting the deal

527
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 4: that he wants and thinks that he deserves right now.

528
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 5: That's all we can think of right now.

529
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: Right I would like to think that JT at the

530
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: very end, if he gets a bigger offer, would come

531
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: to the Phillies and give him the last chance effort.

532
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think there's any question about that. And

533
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 4: that's and that's where the rubber hits the road. If

534
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 4: some team comes to the three year, seventeen or eighteen

535
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: million dollar AaB, they'll go to the Phillies and say, well,

536
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 4: give me your best and final and then he'll just

537
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 4: have to make a.

538
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: Decision, right all right, So here we go. Let's DL

539
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: seventy two on Blue Sky. If the Phillies had the

540
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 2: payroll to do this, and he says, and I'm assuming

541
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: they don't. Who would you like to see them sign

542
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: Ranger Suarez or Tatsuya am I. Do you re signed

543
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: the player you know and it has been a great

544
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: post postseason pitcher or your first star player from Japan?

545
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: Good question I did. That's been Ranger for one year,

546
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: might be question of the of the.

547
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 5: Of the show.

548
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: I tell you, I tell you what I would do.

549
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: I'd probably take a mind from Japan. Try to get

550
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 2: into that market. You've been trying so hard, you've you've

551
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: not gotten there. He's twenty seven, A lot of great

552
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: comps out there, you know, there's been some recent success

553
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: from from pictures from Japan, and man, that'd be hard

554
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: to turn down if you could get if you could

555
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 2: snap your fingers and get one or the other. Again,

556
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: he's also three years younger I think than Ranger, three

557
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: or four years younger than Rangers. So there's that's another

558
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: thing to consider.

559
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: What if Ranger doesn't get multi he could come back

560
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: on a one year deal?

561
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 5: Correct he could?

562
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's no there's no reason why he couldn't.

563
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 4: I know, on a one year I think I would

564
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 4: certainly consider there's no bad one year deals unless it's

565
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 4: like seventy million dollars.

566
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 5: I sort of tend to go with where Todd's at

567
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 5: on this.

568
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 4: It finally gives them an opportunity to make some inroads

569
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 4: in that Japanese marketplace.

570
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: It's obvious that there's some some players.

571
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 4: That that are have been impactful at the major league

572
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 4: side from some of those players, and so I have

573
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 4: not seen the player. I have not scouted him, I

574
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: don't know him, but the reputation seems very positive. And

575
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 4: if they feel like they can bring a player like

576
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: that and have him impact, especially with the way this

577
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 4: rotation is a little saucy right now, because because they've

578
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: got some questions about Wheelers short term and long term health,

579
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 4: they have some questions about Nolan's effective efficacy, they have

580
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: some questions about, you know, whether or not Taiwan Walker

581
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 4: can be a guy, and they answer questions about Painter

582
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: what's he going to be?

583
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 5: So those questions, I'm okay, I.

584
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: Would be really into seeing in my in a Philadelphia

585
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: Phillies uniform, and I think it'd be a positive thing

586
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 4: all the way around.

587
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: Knowing that it's risky, that's Okay, Pat Gillick says, mate,

588
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 5: you know, don't be afraid to take a risk, right,

589
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 5: and that would be a good one for me.

590
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: How many years would you take that risk? What would

591
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: be your cutoff?

592
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 4: Well, I'd like to take it for three years, but

593
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: it's probably going to take closer to.

594
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 5: Four or five, which is which which is a heavy risk.

595
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 4: But that's sometimes that's what it takes to get into

596
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: those marketplaces.

597
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 5: And and uh and it may be whove the Phillies

598
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: to do it.

599
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: Now again, everything I've been told, you know, going back

600
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: a few weeks now, is that once they sign JT

601
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: that they're they're out on all the big time free agents. Bregman,

602
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: Bishett Bellinger, all those guys, you know, Ranger bringing him

603
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 2: back in a multi year deal, you know all those guys.

604
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 3: Now that said a couple of years ago, they made it.

605
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: They made a competitive offer to Yamamoto.

606
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: They knew he wasn't going to accept it, so it

607
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: was kind of like, let's throw them three hundi and

608
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: you know whatever. Now, now maybe there's a situation where

609
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: the market's developing and he has to sign soon, am

610
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: I where they go, let's let's do it let's just

611
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna blow past the luxury tax and we're not

612
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: going to bring back JT. We'll figure out what we're

613
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: going to do there. I mean, that's not really going

614
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: to save you that much. And we're gonna have Castias

615
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: off the books next year, walk her off the books

616
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: next year.

617
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: So who knows. I'd be surprised. I'd be very surprised.

618
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: Jim would you'd be surprised if they were in on

619
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: am I I mean.

620
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: I would be in it.

621
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: I would.

622
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're monitoring, because that's what they do. You

623
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: monitor where the market goes. You never know what could

624
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: fall into your lap. I mean JT was a perfect example.

625
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: When they traded for j T. He was going with

626
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: the Mets, the Braves, the Reds, the Dodgers, they were

627
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: all in on it. There was nothing all winter. All

628
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's still a marlin. They need to move.

629
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: He drops into Phillies lap. So you know, you monitor

630
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: it because you never know. But I just I'm not

631
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: feeling it, and I think a lot of times you

632
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: can feel these things. But hey, I mean, you know,

633
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: you guys make good points. I'm very concerned about the

634
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: depth in the rotation. The mile is in the rotation,

635
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: the health history is in the rotation. I mean, you know,

636
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 1: Canola bounced back from a really troubling year with the

637
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: workload he has carried. And I was looking at some

638
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: numbers the other day, from the start of seventeen through

639
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: the end of twenty four, Aaron Nola led the majors

640
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: and innings by far over Garrett Cole. I mean, the

641
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: guy has carried a big load. Wheeler coming back from surgery,

642
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: has carried a big load. Gonna pitch at thirty six

643
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: young man and Painter, I mean, I'm sure they're out there,

644
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: but most rookies have some type of growing pain. There

645
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: are those that don't, the exceptions, but so you know, Painter,

646
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of uncertainty. So that rotation, could,

647
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 1: you know, it could be dynamite if they're all healthy

648
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: and all, you know, dealing. Could it could take them

649
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: where they want to go. But I would love to

650
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: see some more depth and quality depth, like a guy

651
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: like in my Hey, you know, I'd even consider Ranger

652
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: if he's still floating out there at some point. But

653
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: like you said, Todd, they might be done after they

654
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: do JT and JT is an important piece of the

655
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: equation with this pitching staff, I still feel like he's

656
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: coming back.

657
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: G pap nine six three one on Instagram. Is the

658
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six bullpen on paper better or worse than

659
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hey, now, they traded Matt Strom the

660
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: other day they got Jonathan Bolan from the Royals.

661
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: I only care about being better in October, right, you know,

662
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: the last two Octobers they have their bullpen has like

663
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: a six eight seventy five blown saves in eight games

664
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: last two Octobers, So I think it's going to be okay.

665
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: I think Dobrosky goes out fix his stuff at the deadline,

666
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: and you've got to pitch good in October. So I

667
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: only care about it being better in October. They might be.

668
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I like the Keller deal, and I like

669
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: having a full season of uh of nowhere where I'm

670
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: going at the end of the game, including October, so

671
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: I think they could actually be better.

672
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 4: Rubin, I think they're deeper. I think they have some

673
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: depth and a little bit more versatility. I'm not sure

674
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 4: if they're better that that. You'll find out when this

675
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: when the games start. That's when you find out whether

676
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 4: they're better and when the real situation where Keller has

677
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: to hold down a lead with a one run lead

678
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 4: in the eighth inning to hand the ball to Juan Duran.

679
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: I think overall they're going to be better because they

680
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: didn't have Doran until late late July. So overall for

681
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 4: the season, it's going to be a better you know,

682
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 4: I think they have better quality with regard to their

683
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 4: you know, their full staff, but you know, the rubber

684
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: heads the road when you see them actually performing. Ken

685
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 4: Keller continue to pitch the way he pitched in Chicago.

686
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: Can he now catapult himself forward to be that elite

687
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 4: set up man. You don't know until he takes the

688
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 4: baseball at a Citizens Bank Park against the Mets and closes,

689
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 4: you know, and helps hold a game. That's you know,

690
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 4: he's got to face Squan Soto and whoever.

691
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 5: Then we'll know.

692
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 2: K on Threads writes on Threads, I need everyone's quick

693
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: fire response on the least smart offseason decision and the

694
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: smartest off season decision?

695
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 5: Anything pop in your mind?

696
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 4: Come right, are you talking about Phillies best worst off

697
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 4: season decision so far?

698
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's I mean, you know, best re signing

699
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber.

700
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 4: I think that's probably the best decision, I believe, I agree.

701
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: Can you mentioned the whole that would be right now,

702
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 2: the panic that would be if he had signed with

703
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: you know, the Orioles, right unless, of course, they went

704
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 2: and got Pete Alonzo like that day, like the like

705
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 2: the Orioles did when they lost down on Kyle Schwarber.

706
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: But and I don't know what the least least smart

707
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: off season or the worst off season decision would be

708
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 2: at this point, it's really hard to say.

709
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 5: That's a hard one to say. The least intelligent decision. God,

710
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 5: that's a that's a hard thing to say.

711
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: Because on paper, you can you can see what you

712
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: can see what they're doing.

713
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: Again, like a lot, I know a lot.

714
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: We talked a lot earlier in the show about our

715
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: seeing you know, can you really expect him to bounce back?

716
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: He's he's very Max kepler Ish in that regard.

717
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 3: You know.

718
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 5: I think that that could end up being the worst decision.

719
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 4: It's putting ten million dollars into adults Garcia thinking that

720
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 4: he's going to bounce back. I mean, that could end

721
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: up being their worst decision because they may very well,

722
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 4: get the same player that they would have gotten in Casianos,

723
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 4: especially on the offensive side of the ball, on the offense,

724
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 4: not on the defense, not on the defense.

725
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 5: He'll be better defensively, there's no question about that.

726
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 4: But you know, as you said, and you pointed out

727
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: it was taught or or Jim that you know, you're

728
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 4: basically it was taught. You're basically playing thirty million dollars

729
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 4: to put Garcia out there and right field every single.

730
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 5: Day, right right? Is that the right decision?

731
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So we'll we'll see on that.

732
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: That's again till it's it's it's going to be fascinating

733
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: to see. Okay, here's here's an mciatti for a couple more,

734
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: a couple more guys mcati four on Instagram. When do

735
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 2: you try to negotiate a long term deal with Jowan

736
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: Deron and what might that deal look like?

737
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: Try to think ones free agent next season, right after

738
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: this coming season.

739
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: I gotta take a look at that.

740
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's two years.

741
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 5: I think he's got another two years.

742
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got he's got a lot of control left.

743
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 2: He goes into this season, he goes into this season

744
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: with four years of service time on the dot twenty

745
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: seven after twenty seven, correct.

746
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: I I I'm not.

747
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: It's not even on my radar, right, it's not until after.

748
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: This season, probably next next spring or after the season. Plus,

749
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 4: you never know what's gonna happen with the basic agreement.

750
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 4: There's a whole bunch of different things to think about.

751
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: After the twenty twenty sixth season, they have to negotiate

752
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: a real a real deal between MLB and MLBPA.

753
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 5: So I think you hold off and wait to see

754
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 5: what happens.

755
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: I want to see some performance.

756
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hey, he's got to go through a full year

757
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 4: and see how he how he handles being the closer.

758
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be great.

759
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, but I think, uh, I think

760
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 4: you give it a little time to see where it goes.

761
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

762
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: Uh, Mike Ramsey on X, this is this is a

763
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 2: good one. Cut bench start, Zach Wheeler, Roy Halliday, Cole

764
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 2: Hammils cut bench start.

765
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 3: It's I like you, just Monty, how do you even choose?

766
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 5: How do you even choose?

767
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: There, I'll go, I'll go, I'm gonna go all right.

768
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 5: Cut, I mean it's it's impossible.

769
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: Who do you cut out of those three guys. I

770
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 2: mean we're talking about some performance. Are we talking career wise?

771
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I mean, it's imp it's hot.

772
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't know who.

773
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 2: I would start, Roy Halliday. I would start Roy Halliday

774
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: postseason no hitter. I still remember that game in San

775
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: Francisco on the NLCS in twenty ten where he blew

776
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: out his growing in the first ending, like we got

777
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: to get you out of here, and he's like, f off,

778
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm pitching this game. He grinds out six innings, keeps

779
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: the series going. I mean, just just a stud and

780
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: in every way. Game five of the twenty eleven NLDS,

781
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: of course, was an all time classic.

782
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: And then you go down between Zach Wheeler and Cole Hamil's.

783
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: I really don't know. I mean, I really don't know.

784
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler is one of the all time greatest postseason performers.

785
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: He's never won a World Series though. Cole Hamil's dead.

786
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: Don't take any one of them. I'm sorry, I don't know.

787
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: I literally can't cut politicians.

788
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 5: Doc starts for me, I bench, I bench Cole.

789
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 4: Hamil's and I probably cut and not because other than

790
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 4: just at the end of the day, World Series performance

791
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 4: and playoff performance, combination of those things, and that's the

792
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 4: only reason.

793
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: And has been great in both. So I mean it's hard.

794
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you give the edge to Cole because

795
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: he's he was a World Series m v P.

796
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 5: Right.

797
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 4: I mean literally all three of those handedly single handedly

798
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 4: won the World Series for the Phillies.

799
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: Are we talking like career accomplishments? We talked to these

800
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: guys in their prime. If I had to pick one

801
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: of one of those guys to win their ball game.

802
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: If I had to pick one of those guys to

803
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: win me a ball game, it's probably Wheeler and Doc

804
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: and of that too that I need to win one

805
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: ball game, I probably would take Doc.

806
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 3: In his prime.

807
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're right, Yeah, I mean your your

808
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: your life is on the line.

809
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: Who you picking to start a big game for you?

810
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 3: For me, you would be Roy Roy Holley.

811
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: I think Wheeler would say, look at me and see,

812
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: is your life on the line. I'm giving up six

813
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: in the first inning.

814
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 4: There's no disrespect to Wheeler or these guys are just elite,

815
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 4: and I think that they're I think that in the

816
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 4: case of Wheeler, it's something that fans should really embrace

817
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: what he has done for this team in this franchise

818
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: because he has just been spectacular.

819
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 5: He's must see TV.

820
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: He's a guy that go ahead, Jim, you're right, No,

821
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: I want to hear you go home.

822
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 3: He's a guy in a few years.

823
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 2: You know that the injury of this year throws everything

824
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: up in the air. But I was legitimately wondering if

825
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: you finish this contract strong without injury.

826
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: Of course, now he's injured.

827
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 2: Uh Is he a future Hall of Famer even though

828
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: he's not going to be close to three hundred wins?

829
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 3: And you know the game has changed. I watched this

830
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 3: guy pitch.

831
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, this guy is in the conversation for Hall

832
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 2: of Fame, much like Cole Hamil's in the country.

833
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

834
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: Right, definitely a Wall of Famer. I mean, you know,

835
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: where would they do Zach Wheeler one of the greatest

836
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 2: free agent signings ever, not much less history.

837
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: Five years What was the original deal? Five eighteen? Oh

838
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 3: my god, that's.

839
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: What I was gonna say. You got him and Schwarber

840
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: on the same roster to the You know they're both

841
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: on extensions now, but their original contracts with the Phillies.

842
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: Two of the greatest signings in franchise history. Just guys

843
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: that came here and delivered.

844
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 5: They sure did.

845
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 4: They didn't deliver a world series yet, but they certainly

846
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 4: delivered on an individual basis.

847
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 5: It's not not because of them that they didn't. They

848
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 5: didn't do so.

849
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: So much goes into so much goes into a world series, right,

850
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: You just got everything's got to be clicking, right, and

851
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: it hasn't. And they and they, they've honestly self destructed

852
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: in the last two octobers. You know it's on them,

853
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: but you cannot fault contributions they've gotten from those guys,

854
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, long haul over over one hundred and sixty

855
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: two games.

856
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 3: Tom Robson on Blue Sky, it's opening day.

857
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: You're invited to dance with the fanatic on top of

858
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 2: the dugout. What song are you dancing to?

859
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 4: Well, it's probably you guys are actually thinking eithern F song,

860
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 4: Earth Wind and Fire, or you two one of the

861
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: two my two all time favorite groups. Not sure which one.

862
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 4: Kind of an eclectic grouping there, but that's me.

863
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: What would I pick?

864
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I was gonna say I would try to

865
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 2: bring drag my kids on stage to us, so I

866
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 2: don't embarrass myself too much, and I would probably pick

867
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 2: a song that they are into right now, and it's

868
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: probably from the Netflix movie K Pop Demon Hunters. Really

869
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: bring my two girls up on stage and have some

870
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: fun with it that way. But I know there was

871
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: gonna be a song just for me. I was the

872
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:49,680

Speaker 1: Boy, I haven't done much cooking. My wife does it.

884
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,640

Speaker 2: You know, you don't want to You just don't want

906

Speaker 2: to mess up Christmas dinner.

907
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 4: So would you rather be a little less juicy and

Speaker 5: Who's the guy that.

924
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 4: I think the person I don't know, the female or

925
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 4: female that asked about the uh to me, the one

926
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 4: that was asked about Ranger and Emi, which way would

927
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: you go?

928
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 5: I thought that that was a very thoughtful question.

929
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 3: D L seventy two on Blue Sky.

930
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 5: So you're what do you guys think? What do you

931
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 5: guys think? Differently?

932
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: I like that one because it, you know, it brings

933
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: into the thought process the current rotation and the depth issue,

934
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,719
