1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Reese, thank you so much for joining the Philly Show.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's great to have you on my man.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: How are you doing great? Yeah?

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 3: Great here, it's nice to see three fine gentlemen again.

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 3: See you guys soon. But it's good to catch up.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 3: And yeah, we're good here, man, We're just we're in

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: the middle of the season. Rhythm of it of it's

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 3: picking up and the summer is the summer is the fawn.

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: Us and it's I mean, life is completely changed for

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: you now, right, your dad.

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: You know, completely changed. Yeah, see it through a different

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: lens mosulation. Thank you, thank you.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: I keep telling people that it's the best thing I've

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: ever done or been as a dad, But it's also

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 3: the hardest thing I've ever done, but so rewarding every

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 3: single day, I think, especially at this age. She's six

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: months now, and it seems like she's picked up something

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: new pretty much daily, which is just so cool to see.

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is awesome. I mean, so we're tape this

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: on on Tuesday and you're you're the Brewers are coming

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: in town on Friday. Is it going to feel any differently?

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Is it gonna you know, if you thought about it

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: at all, what's going to be like coming to Philly

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: for the second time, you know, as a member of

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: the Brewers, or is it going to be kind of

27
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: no big deal At this point.

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: I think it will be different than the last time,

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: for sure. Definitely had some butterflies, so to say, you know,

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: last year, just going back for the first time, walking

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: in the different clubhouse for the first time, seeing everybody again.

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: This year is a little bit more just business as usual.

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: I think I haven't thought about it too much really

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: up until this week, mostly for the fact that Phil's

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: are a great team and we got our work cut

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: out for us there when when we when we come.

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: So I'm sure it will be great. It always is,

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: you know, playing at Citizens Bank. It would be great

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: to see all that bunch of familiar faces and hopefully

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 3: beat up on a bunch of old friends.

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: I was looking at your numbers, I mean, you seem

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: to be swinging the bat really well, like the traditional

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: numbers are are are pretty solid, and you're on base

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: is where it usually is. Uh, slugging is up for

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: highest in a few years. And even then you look

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: at the advanced metrics, you know, it seems like you're

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: hitting the ball harder. You're not chasing anything, which is

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: you never really did anyway. But I mean, is it

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: just a matter of your you're removed further away from

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: from the surgery. You know, what can you what can

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: you tell us about about the your offensive game right now?

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

53
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: I think it's mostly that just time is our best friend.

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: I think when it comes to injury, obviously to to

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: get physically back into shape or what we feel like

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: is normal, but also just mentally not being not being

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: a rehabber, right Like I I just got to be

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: an athlete and a baseball player this this passed off season,

59
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: and it gave me a great base I think going

60
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 3: into spring, I've made a little bit of an adjustment

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: in terms of a load at the plate, and I

62
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: think it's just giving me a little bit more time

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: to see the ball better and earlier. And I think

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: that's just getting me into good counts. And you know,

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: I've said this in the past, but I like my

66
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: chances when the pitcher has to beat me in the zone.

67
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: So I'm getting myself into good counts right now and

68
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: not missing those pitches that are showing up in the middle.

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: Hey, Reese, let me follow up a little bit on

70
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: that one was kind of curious, what is that is there?

71
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: Can you talk about the specifics of that adjustment or

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: do you feel uncomfortable doing No?

73
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, It's just I've kind of gone away from

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: the leg kick a little bit the first couple of

75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: weeks of the season, a little up and down. I

76
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: felt like I was having good at bats but not

77
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: getting great results, seeing too many pitches in the middle

78
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: of the plate. So instead of the lake kick, I

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: kind of just went back to the way I used

80
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: to hit in college, which was an early toe down

81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: or foot down kind of toe to heal move. And again, like,

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: I think it's making my move my my move a

83
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: little bit more repeatable. My head's moving less, which again

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: that just makes me see the ball better. So yeah, nothing,

85
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: nothing too ear shattering, really. I think I'm just a

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: little bit simpler at the plate and that's become a

87
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: lot more repeatable.

88
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: Day in and day out over a long season.

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: And how hard was that to do it in season?

90
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: I mean, did you actually make that adjustment in season?

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: And because a lot of the times, you know, you're like,

92
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: you know, I don't want to mess with this right

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: now in season, So it's sort of a different.

94
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that can be a slippery slope. I think just

95
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: because it was simplifying in a big way, instead of

96
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: making things a little bit more complicated with what I

97
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: was already working with, it made it a little bit easier.

98
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: I had been messing around with it in the cage

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: and batting practice for a couple of days prior to

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: initiating in the game, and we found ourselves, you know,

101
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 3: kind of up big in a game early against the A's,

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: and I came up with two outs and nobody on

103
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: and just said, let's let's see what we got, And

104
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: of course I ended up I ended up hitting a

105
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: home run. So I was like, okay, well that's that's

106
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: some early results. And then later on in the game,

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: we're facing a pretty nasty right hander, arms and elbows

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: flailing at you and a big sinker ball. Ended up

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: getting a base hit to right field and that at bat,

110
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: which was, you know, pretty much all I needed to see.

111
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: So we just continue to explore that and trying to

112
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: make it normal now. But again, I just think simplifying

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: has really been my best friend.

114
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 5: Really interesting stuff for rees. It's great to see you, buddy,

115
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 5: because I remember the leg Kick. It was born in

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 5: the batting cage in clear Water at the stadium in

117
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 5: Clearwater when you were I thinking a ball or no,

118
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: it was instructional League, after your first year with Andy Tracy,

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 5: Joe Jordan and those guys. So it really served you

120
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: well for a whole bunch of years.

121
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: Right, oh, one hundred percent.

122
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: And you know, I think to Ruben's point, it's hard

123
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: to ditch the date that you brought to the dance,

124
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: or that maybe even got you to the dance. But

125
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: I was just sick of missing being late basically, so

126
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: my my my goal is just to be on time more.

127
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, certainly, right, like, the leg kick was written

128
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: about and talked about a bunch and I really think

129
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: it helped me propel into, you know, being an established

130
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: player in this in this game, but now having some

131
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: experience and knowing what it's like to hit in the

132
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: big leagues, especially with you know, stuff the way that

133
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: it is now. From the pitching standpoint, sometimes you got

134
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: to make adjustments, and that's what this game calls for.

135
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: So I just decided it was time.

136
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 5: So you know, you mentioned when the pitch is in

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: the zone, you like your chances and as Todd mentioned,

138
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: we're taping on Tuesday, a few days before you come

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 5: to town with the Brewers, and you know, pitching the zone,

140
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 5: and like I said, it's Tuesday, and oh, Spencer Strider,

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 5: Strider is pitching in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. And when

142
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: I think of Spencer Stryder, I think of you not

143
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: missing in that in that playoff series, hitting that Humongo

144
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 5: home run and and then that unbelievable, cathartic bat spike

145
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 5: that you could feel all the way up to Center City.

146
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: And when I think of that kind of iconic moment,

147
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: I think it Chase Subtlely. We had him on the

148
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: podcast a while back and we asked him about, you know,

149
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 5: his WFC and where's the coolest place you ever heard

150
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: somebody yell that to him? And he said, in a

151
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: clothing store in London and on a ski slope in Switzerland.

152
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: So I'm wondering, like, anywhere interesting somebody who's brought up

153
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 5: to hillacious batspike.

154
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: Definitely not as cool as a ski slope in Switzerland.

155
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: And but that's okay. And Chase is a little bit

156
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: cooler than I am, and I'm cool with that. Maybe

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: some common ground that you know I can find with

158
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: the people of Philadelphia.

159
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: I got I got.

160
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: A congrats and an awesome moment from a New Yorker

161
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: while we were playing the Mets last year in a

162
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: coffee shop, you know, just saying, hey, that was incredible,

163
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: as somebody else who doesn't like the Braves was pretty

164
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: was pretty cool from a baseball standpoint to see that happen,

165
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: and just the emotion that you were playing with. So

166
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 3: maybe not as cool, but maybe more unlikely. Let's say that,

167
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: so that that's pretty cool.

168
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 5: But a cool moment. I mean that, you gotta does

169
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 5: that Still that moment still make kind of the hair

170
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 5: on the back of your next stand.

171
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: Up the playoffs, Jim, you know, like that's yeah, it's

172
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: the It's what we play for as athletes. I still

173
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: think the coolest part about the whole thing was the

174
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: fact that it was the first game at Citizens Bank,

175
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: and you know, a decade playoff game in over a decade.

176
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: There so just a lot coming together in one moment,

177
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: and you know, pretty memorable because of it.

178
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: I can't remember.

179
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: I think I might have asked you this in the past,

180
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: but where where is the bat? Do you have it

181
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: displayed somewhere? Or somebody just kind of keeps it in

182
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: a box in the corner and like, you know, when

183
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm done playing baseball, I'll throw it up on a

184
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: wall in the trophy case or something like that.

185
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's I'm in the middle of a move

186
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: and a remodel back home, so not displayed, but I

187
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: know exactly where it is, and I'm sure at some

188
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: point it will end up on a wall, so that

189
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: you know, that story can be talked about as much

190
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,359
Speaker 3: as we want, really.

191
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: But yeah, know exactly where it is.

192
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: Use it throughout the playoffs, because how can you not

193
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: after that, and ended up I think switching in the

194
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: World Series getting some new wood and told Phil hey,

195
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 3: let's let's make sure we know where this one's at.

196
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: I want I want to make sure I have this

197
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: one so it's back home. But yeah, eventually we'll end

198
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: up on a wall.

199
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 4: Hey, the Brewers obviously have a great fan base. They

200
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 4: love their their their Brewer crew. I'm just kind of

201
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: curious as far as fan bases are concerned. You know,

202
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: there's Philadelphia and there's other cities. How do these two compare?

203
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: And what you're feeling when you when you try to

204
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: when you're connecting with.

205
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: Them, Well, I think I think their love for their

206
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: team is they're they're both admirable fan bases in that regard.

207
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: But it's obviously know as a home player, I only

208
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: know two. But I get the impression that it's hard

209
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: to compare fan bases to the Philly fan base.

210
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: For good and for bad. Really, but.

211
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean these people up here in the Midwest

212
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: and Wisconsin, they they love their sports. They're they're they're

213
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: die hard in different ways. You know, everyday game we

214
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: have tailgators from well, when when we're pulling up to

215
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: the ballpark, people are there, it's just yeah, it's just different,

216
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: not bad by any means or in any way, but

217
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: they they do love their sports up here, and we

218
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: definitely feel that we had a great crowd yesterday, got

219
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: to have the roof open. Summer is coming here in

220
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 3: Wisconsin and the people look forward to that.

221
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: We definitely feel that on the field.

222
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: How would you compare Rob Thompson to Pat Murphy. Seemed

223
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: like different guys, but two guys maybe both enjoyed, you know, playing.

224
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: For Yeah, definitely different, but both just baseball baseball guys

225
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: at their core. Obviously a ton of years of experience

226
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: from on both sides. Murph a ton of experience in

227
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: college baseball, and I think we we tend to see

228
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: that sometimes with his emotions on his sleeve, but we

229
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: love that as as his players, we know exactly what

230
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: we're getting as soon as we walk in the clubhouse,

231
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: stores about where he's at and what he expects of us.

232
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: Whereas Thomps and I think this maybe has a little

233
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: bit to do with the type of clubhouse that each

234
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: manager has. But you know, Thomps is super level headed,

235
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: trust his guys that they're gonna, you know, do what

236
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: they need to do to prepare for the game that night,

237
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: and kind of just goes out and let and let

238
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: some of that happen. Steps in when he feels like

239
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: he needs to. But Murph is ready to you know,

240
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: light a fire under us that really at any moment,

241
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 3: because that's just how he approaches his life with with intensity.

242
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: But also, you know, I think both know how to

243
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: keep a room light when it's needed, and that's you know,

244
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: super helpful over one hundred and sixty two game season

245
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: when we really can get lost in the in the

246
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 3: shuffle of the day to day. So both both amazing guys. Different,

247
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: but I feel pretty lucky to have played for both.

248
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 5: I know you're focused on your team and your season.

249
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 5: Do you ever use a like a half a glance

250
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 5: to keep track of the Phillies and your old friends,

251
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: keep in touch with anybody and how they're doing.

252
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do.

253
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Jim, I'm a baseball fan, so I I

254
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: just I watch, you know, what's going on around the league. Really,

255
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: I know they were just in Sacramento, so I had

256
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 3: a few conversations with guys about, you know, places to

257
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: check out or or coffee to go get or food

258
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: to go get. I haven't talked to them since they've

259
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: they've gotten back, but I'm sure I'll get a chance

260
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: to just catch up with how it was playing there

261
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: on a field that I've played there before in high

262
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: school and actually a little bit in college too. So yeah,

263
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I know they're they're right at the top

264
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: of the National League, if not the league in terms

265
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: of record. I know, you know, the normal culprits are

266
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: doing their thing, and we're we're getting there, getting a

267
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: lot of help from a lot of players up and

268
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: down the bench and the lineup too, so we know

269
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: that's it's a complete team. I'll try to stay in

270
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: touch with a couple of guys that I became good

271
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: friends with over over the years. I'm I'll here from

272
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: Schwart or I'll here from JT every once in a while.

273
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: I hear from Brandon Marsh every once in a while too,

274
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's always great to see old names pop

275
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: up on your phone and get a chance to catch

276
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: up with them.

277
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: Speaking of food and coffee and stuff, I know that

278
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: you were a frequenter of Polazi's Social Club. I've seen

279
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 4: the in there once or twice, and I was just

280
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: there recently. Any plans to go there while you're here ordered?

281
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: Is it because of the since you're bringing to your

282
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 4: your daughter? Is is there a chance to get out there?

283
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were actually just talking about that last night,

284
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: about a couple of places that we want to try

285
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: to get to. Police's always at the top of our list,

286
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: some of our favorite food in the whole city. We're

287
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: we were actually just curious talking, you know, with with

288
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: Jamie about whether or not they would they would allow

289
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: her in there. Is it's a little bit more of

290
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: a bar setting, so we'll we'll see. We've already kind

291
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: of made some contact with some of the guys there

292
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: that that we know they always take care of us

293
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: extremely well and if not POLICI I'm sure we're going

294
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: to be well fed.

295
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: We got a few others on our list.

296
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: Sally is one that's also in the city and in

297
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: Soraya is A is a Mediterranean style place up in

298
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: fish Town that that we frequent a lot to, or

299
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: used to frequent.

300
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: Yea, So we'll see where we end up, but those

301
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: are those are.

302
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: Kind of the top of our list whenever we can

303
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: return to Philly.

304
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 5: So well, since you went there, Reuben went to the

305
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: food topic, brought worst or cheese steak.

306
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: I gotta choose a broad brock is just a little

307
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: bit more classic, I think obviously I had my fair

308
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: share of cheese steaks, and I can't wait to have

309
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: one from the visiting clubhouse and we go.

310
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: But abroad is.

311
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: Is maybe more easily enjoyed at all times of the day,

312
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: whereas a choestate can kind of put you on your butt.

313
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm not ready for it, so I'll choose the bra

314
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: You'll you'll be.

315
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 5: I want to tell rees real quick because this hasn't

316
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 5: come up.

317
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: Todd is a.

318
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 5: Milwaukee native grew up. He grew up a brew crew frian.

319
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 5: He's still a Packers fan. You guys want to do

320
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 5: any Milwaukee thing.

321
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'm just if you if you checked out,

322
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: like I don't even know if you have time like

323
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: Summerfest any of those types of things. Have you gotten

324
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: down to the Lake Shore and seeing any concerts or

325
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: anything like that.

326
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, no, just with obviously with our schedule. I lived

327
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 3: right down in that Summerfest area at the start of

328
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 3: last season, so definitely got a sense of you know,

329
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: what goes on, Well, that's that's kind of that whole

330
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: area down there, and really even into downtown is there's

331
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: something going on outside every single day, whether it's concert

332
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: or some sort of cultural festival. It's just I think

333
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: a great excuse for the people of the city to

334
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 3: be outside. But there's always something going on down there.

335
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: I learned that pretty quickly.

336
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: That's because the summer lasts like three months, so you

337
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: have to like squeeze out everything day you can, because

338
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: if you don't go outside, it's going to be you know,

339
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: forty degrees and September fifteenth. So but you know, when

340
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: I see you, obviously a lot of different fun Phillies

341
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: moments come into my head, popping my head, And when

342
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: I wanted asking, you kind of jogged my memory because

343
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: you talked about running into the New York fan up

344
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: in New York. Was that ridiculously slow home run trot

345
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: at City Field? What do you remember about that? And

346
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: does anybody ever still mention that one? Because that one

347
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: always makes me, brings a smile to my face because

348
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: it was so much fun, and I think it was

349
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: so much fun for Phillies fans as well, because you

350
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: know Phillies Mets.

351
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, I mean the rivalries in general, right, like, yeah,

352
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: that one does not get brought up. It was pretty

353
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 3: early on in my career, and something has happened between

354
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: now and then with myself and the Mets that maybe

355
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: gets talked about.

356
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: First when that's brought up.

357
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: But what do I remember, you know, again, getting thrown

358
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 3: at a couple of times up near the head area,

359
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: which none of us hitters like. So I guess found

360
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: a great opportunity to take a little pettiness back to them,

361
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: and again all in good competition, not trying to disrespect anybody,

362
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 3: but I felt like.

363
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: I had maybe earned that a little bit on that one.

364
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, one thing I forgot about Reese is you are

365
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 5: a trendsetter. And you know where I'm going with this

366
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 5: with the with the high five to the bullpen after.

367
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 2: A whole run.

368
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 5: It's done everywhere now. I see it in college baseball time,

369
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 5: you know, may leagues, minor leagues, it's in college. I'm

370
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 5: sure it's in high school ball. When a kid, you know,

371
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 5: hits a home run, how does that they ought to

372
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 5: call that the hoskins? I mean, how does that feel

373
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: to have that impact on the game.

374
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I notice it for sure, and then

375
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 3: go back to, you know, the conversations with you guys

376
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: about where did that come from and how did that start?

377
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: And it doesn't get I don't people don't talk to

378
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: me about that a little bit. People in my family,

379
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: you know, kind of mention that as well. But yeah,

380
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 3: it's it's awesome, really like it's it's such a cool thing. Again,

381
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: I think that we should we should acknowledge those guys

382
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 3: out there more often.

383
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: You know, we're always looking at the dugout.

384
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: I mean I even noticed guys now sometimes on base

385
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: hits or doubles, they look towards the bullpen.

386
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 2: First before they look towards the dugout.

387
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: So I'm always curious to see what guys do, right, Like,

388
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 3: what what's there their mode of of solute I guess

389
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 3: to say out there, And there's some pretty good ones

390
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 3: and creative ones too, So definitely a cool thing. And

391
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: you know, something that I hope continues continues.

392
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 5: Really you should you should be you should be proud

393
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: of that because it's symbolical the kind of teammate. You

394
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 5: were a very inclusive guy in that clubhouse, bringing people together.

395
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: So that's off. I appreciate it. Jim, thank you. That's awesome.

396
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: That's a great, great way to end. I mean that

397
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: that that's you know, just a great way to end.

398
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: So Reese, thanks a lot for for joining us. We

399
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,080
