Okay, But you know, if you're asking 108 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: me how I think it's gonna shake out six weeks. 109 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 5: From now, TB a TBD with Nola. 110 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 4: I want to see what he looks like over the 111 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 4: final six weeks. But tomorrow you go with the three 112 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: hot hand they're your three best active starters. 113 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 5: Sanchez, Suarez, Lozardo. 114 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 4: So very unusual to have three lefties in the postseason, 115 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 4: but that's the way you'd have to go. If it 116 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: would have be tomorrow, they'd give you the best chance 117 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 4: of winning. And they just did a job on that awful, 118 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 4: awful Seattle team, Dodd inside joke inside. 119 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 5: That inside team, not by any means inside joke. 120 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 6: I totally agree, and in that order, I would as 121 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 6: as Jim stated, I would love to break up the 122 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 6: two lefties with a righty, and maybe it's Nola, maybe 123 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 6: it's Taiwan. 124 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Walker, Taiwan On. I just I think that if he 125 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: finishes out the season. 126 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 6: The way he has pitched the last seven games, then 127 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 6: I would have to consider him, and then probably piggyback Lozardo. 128 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: For you know, as the fourth. In other words, maybe 129 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: have maybe. 130 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 6: Go Christopher Sanchez. 131 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker, with. 132 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 6: Rizardo piggybacking, and then and then Suarez. I would consider 133 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 6: that if he finishes off the season pitching the way 134 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 6: he's pitching in. 135 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: His last seven. 136 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 6: Now I also have to see, really who the really 137 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 6: hot hand is, and I gotta believe that the hot hand, 138 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 6: hotter hand might end up being Aaronola. 139 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: If it's not. 140 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 6: And none of those neither one of those right handers 141 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 6: are really throwing the. 142 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: Ball, well, then I go with the three three lefties. 143 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: But if the question is the postseason starts tomorrow, there's 144 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 4: no other answer, then there is the answer. Sure we 145 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 4: agree on I don't see how anybody could have a 146 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 4: different answer if it started tomorrow. 147 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: Right, And that's interesting, it's interesting, you know, And you're right, Ruben, like, 148 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: what if Taiwan keeps pitching like he's pitching and we 149 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: you know Ranger had not been pitching well up until 150 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: this week, So what if he kind of slides back 151 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: the other way and he's he's kind of bouncing around 152 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: and getting hit hard, and you know, that becomes. 153 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: An interesting conversation. 154 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: Then you never know, you never you never never know, 155 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: never ever know. 156 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: There you go, there you go. 157 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 5: Hey, that was first pitch brought to you exclusively by 158 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 5: our partners at Parks. 159 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 4: Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino Parkscasino dot com.

I slice open the pack. We're looking 180 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 7: at it if you're watching us right now, and I 181 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 7: pull a card from the nineteen fifties. 182 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: Super cool. 183 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 7: I enjoyed the experience looking at it. It's Jim Gilliam. 184 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 7: It's the top set from the mid fifties. But I 185 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 7: got an offer for more than what the Slap pack costs, 186 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 7: and I sold it back. Tough times for the Dodgers 187 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 7: right now, don't at me, but I got twenty eight 188 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 7: bucks instantly, so I can buy another one of those 189 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 7: packs and try and get what I. 190 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 8: Want absolutely the excitement I heard Kip say before. The 191 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 8: excitement's in the chase. You sold it back. Now you 192 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 8: get to open another one. I enjoy when you slide 193 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 8: it across the screen there and the pack opens. 194 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 7: Arenaclub dot com slash foul twenty percent off your first 195 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 7: slab packer card purchase. 196 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 5: Get after it. We're back. 197 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: More questions from you are listeners and viewers. Listeners and viewers, Hello, Hello, 198 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: thank you, and thank you for all the questions. Get 199 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: We always get so many, and uh, unfortunately we can't 200 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: get to every single one because then will be like, 201 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: we'll be three hours into this thing. So Kevin Demico 202 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: on X says, Rob always stumps for his guys, But 203 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 2: is he finally showing some willingness to play Max Kepler 204 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: and right field? 205 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: More Over, Nick. 206 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 5: Castianos clearly he's done it. 207 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: Three times in the last eleven games. Now he started 208 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: Kepler in right field with good results, right. 209 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 4: And him, you know him, showing a little faith in 210 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 4: Kepler everybody wanted to released at the trade deadline, has 211 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 4: paid dividends at a big home run to help him 212 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: close out that Seattle series, and he's had some good 213 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: games recently he's had some productions. So sometimes you got 214 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: to stick with a guy and be patient. It's a 215 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: long season and a long haul, and Rob is not 216 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 4: a guy who makes knee jerk decisions. I mean, sometimes 217 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: he's criticized for being too patient, but you know, they're 218 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 4: twenty games over five hundred, aren't they? 219 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 5: Like twenty one? 220 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 4: Now, you can afford to be patient for the sake 221 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 4: of trying to get the most out of a player 222 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 4: and the most out of a team when you're in 223 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 4: that situation. So it's paid dividends recently. I don't think 224 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 4: he's intimidated by any players. I think he's his own man, 225 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 4: and he's a players guy, and he's going to exercise patience. 226 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 4: But he gets to a certain point, he's going to 227 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: start tinkering a little bit. Not drastic, not drastic. He's 228 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 4: not benching people, but you know, now and then you sit, 229 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: not extended benchings, if you know what I mean, but 230 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 4: now and then you sit, and he mixes it up 231 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: and rides the hot hand, And that's the way you 232 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 4: get the most out of people. 233 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 5: Nobody's guaranteed playing time. You got to earn it. 234 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, the manager's job is to give the players the 235 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 6: best opportunity to have success and to put. 236 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: The players out there that he believes will win the game. 237 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 6: And I think it's gotten to the point where he 238 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 6: sees that Max Kepler can be an addition to this offense, 239 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 6: and in particularly he's played well when he's playing right field, 240 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 6: and so. 241 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: Hey give him some shots. I don't think that it 242 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: will be a strict platoon. 243 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 6: I think it'll'll mix and match when Max Kepler will 244 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 6: be out there. I don't think that's going to be, 245 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 6: you know, one of those platoons like we saw with 246 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 6: West Chamberlain and Jim eisen Reich or Milt Thompson and 247 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 6: Pete Incabilia. 248 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: But I do think. 249 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 6: That he's going to consider in certain situations, under certain circumstances, 250 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 6: with you know, hard throwing right handed pitchers. 251 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: That are tough fall on righties. 252 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 6: Kepler might get some shots there in right field instead 253 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 6: of Castianos. 254 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: Well, here's the question that kind of dovetails off this, 255 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: And this is something I've been kind of wondering and 256 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 2: stumping for and believing that should happen, But at one 257 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: point this season Rob kind of backed off it. And 258 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: this is from Tom g eighteen on Blue Sky. When 259 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: the postseason starts, they have to sub defensively for Castianos 260 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: in the late innings. Do you think the current outfield 261 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: rotation makes it easier to do it this time? 262 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 3: For Rob Thompson? 263 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: And he says, I still see Greg Luzinski watching that 264 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: ball in left field in nineteen seventy seven. 265 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: I think it does. I think it makes it easier 266 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 3: for Rob too. 267 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 2: You know, if they have a two to one lead 268 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: in the eighth inning or ninth inning and you're trying 269 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: to put your best defense out there, I think it's 270 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: easier now to put Max Kepler out there now. Interestingly enough, 271 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: when that whole thing in Miami happened earlier this season, 272 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: you know, Nick got subbed out defensively and then it 273 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: didn't go well. Did not go well. Nick said something 274 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: to Rob that got him benched in the next game. 275 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: But then maybe about a week later, Rob kind of saying, 276 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: you know what, we're gonna kind of just keep running 277 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: him out there. It didn't really make much sense because listen, 278 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: I mean, Nick works hard at his defense, we know this, 279 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: but he grades out analytically and by the eye test 280 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: is one of the you know, worst defensive outfielders in 281 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: the game. So I think that having Kepler out there 282 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: now a little bit more often does open that door, and. 283 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 3: I hope it does. 284 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: I hope the door is open and he makes that 285 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: decision because you don't want I know, nobody on this 286 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: team knows anything about about Black Friday and or you know, 287 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: Greg Lozinski and Jerry Martin and and all that stuff, 288 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: but a lot of people here do, and you don't 289 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: want to have that happen again. 290 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 4: The fact that he's getting Kepler time in right field 291 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 4: now and hadn't had not been doing that until recently, 292 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 4: to me as a telltale that that's going to happen 293 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 4: in the in the playoffs when they need to protect 294 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 4: on defense. Uh, Keupler goes in there when he's not 295 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: in the game. I think it just makes sense. It's smart, 296 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: and to me, it's mandatory. 297 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 5: I mean, you got to. 298 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 6: You have to put your best defensive team out there 299 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 6: when you're winning games or you're a top baiter and 300 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 6: center Martian left, Kepler and right that's your best defensive 301 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 6: outfield on this ball club right now. And if they're 302 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 6: up to or one runs in this in the eighth 303 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 6: inning Tossome on out there man. 304 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: And he may be more likely. 305 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 6: To do it now because s Kepler's actually swinging the bats, 306 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 6: swinging the back pretty. 307 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 5: Well, and he's getting time in right field. 308 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 6: Even if there's a chance that his turn in the 309 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 6: lineup comes forward, he still might be subbing him for 310 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 6: that defensive effort. 311 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 4: I mean, you want the defense is so important in 312 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 4: the postseason. Look at that game in the World Series 313 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 4: of twenty twenty two, I think it was Game five. 314 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: The Astros get two defensive gems late in that game, 315 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 4: one from Chas McCormick takes away probably a triple from JT. Also, 316 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 4: Trey Mansini comes in that game late and makes a 317 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 4: great play at first base. 318 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: And he's not a great first basement, but he. 319 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 4: Made a great play, made a great defensive play. And conversely, 320 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 4: Hoskins failed to make a play on a ball that 321 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 4: resulted in a run. Those are three plays that were 322 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 4: huge that you know, tilted that game in the Astros 323 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 4: favor tilted that series in the Astros favorite defense. He 324 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 4: is always crucial. It is magnified in the postseason. 325 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: And it's time to put the team first. 326 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 2: Ask Pat Burrow if he was insulted that he basically 327 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: got pulled with every late inning lead in two thousand 328 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 2: and eight. I'm sure he say it, will say no. 329 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 5: I'm sure he says that. 330 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 4: World Series check sort of, you know, solves all the wounds. 331 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: He can show that ring every every whenever he wants 332 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: to as well. So he got several questions related to 333 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 2: this topic. Anonymous on Instagram. Can Jordan Romano help this 334 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: team in any way? Or should he be d fade 335 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 2: Roaring Todd on threads That's not me? He said, why Romano? 336 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: Just why Romano? Why Romano? Will Romano be DFA? That's 337 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: from Noah Culp on YouTube. A lot of Romano? Why 338 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 2: you know? 339 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: Why is he here? Can he help? 340 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 9: What's the point I think the Romano here, I'll throw 341 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 9: my two cents in. 342 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 6: I think Romano obviously has struggled at times mightily, but 343 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 6: there's also been he's had some stretches where he's actually 344 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 6: pitched fairly well. 345 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 9: He's not going to be pitching in any high leverage situations. 346 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 9: He's a thirteenth pitcher on this ball club. He likely 347 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 9: will not be on the playoff roster. But he also 348 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 9: can strike out a guy if his slider's working. His 349 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 9: stuff has not been consistent. 350 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 6: He goes from anywhere from ninety three mile hour fastball 351 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 6: to ninety eight. 352 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: They'd love to see that ninety six, ninety seven. 353 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 6: Ninety eight more often than that snap dragon slider, but 354 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 6: it doesn't happen often enough to make him to be 355 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 6: consistently put in situations where. 356 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: Where the game's on the line. 357 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 6: But he is a quality human being, and he is 358 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 6: a guy that's been there and done it. And I 359 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 6: like to have veterans around, and I think that's probably 360 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 6: one of the reasons why they're keeping him around. And 361 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 6: they're hopeful that maybe he can be put in a 362 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 6: situation or two where they need him early in the 363 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 6: game where he can strike a couple of guys out, 364 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 6: stopping inning and then you know, hand it off to 365 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 6: the next guy. 366 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 3: I agree with that. 367 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 2: Well, so yeah, well said, uh, we just talked about 368 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: early at the top of the show, how we were 369 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 2: at Parks casino, but there's always more to do at Parks. 370 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 2: We were walking, I was wat checking out the sports 371 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 2: book where I know they had those dollar dogs, Ruben. 372 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: I was talking to the guy I was sitting next 373 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: to dinner with, and he was he was ready dollar. 374 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 5: Dogs that guy.

I just want to add my two cents. 405 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 4: An impressive place, a lot of life, a lot of action, 406 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 4: fun place. 407 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I had a great time. I had 408 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: a great time. So all right, So here's the question 409 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: from coach Dave huff on X. Can the Phils pull 410 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 2: a twenty seven eagle twenty seventeen eagles run and win 411 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: without their quarterback and then in parentheses, but their ace 412 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 2: and Zach Wheeler? 413 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: Can they win it all without Zach Wheeler. 414 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 5: If they play good? Yeah? 415 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: Exactly, Oh, he certainly can. It makes it more difficult, 416 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: there's no question. 417 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 6: I mean, one of their biggest strengths they're starting pitching, 418 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 6: and Zach is a huge part of that. One of 419 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 6: the best, right handers in baseball when he was healthy, 420 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 6: not the best, well on his way to a possible 421 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 6: Sayam Award. 422 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: But they have another guy as an ACE in Christopher Sanchez. 423 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 6: And as long as you have at least one ace 424 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 6: and a guy that you can't count on to pitch 425 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 6: seven strong, and I think Christopher Sanchez is that guy, 426 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 6: then you got a chance. 427 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 5: They got a chance. 428 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 4: You gotta get in, you gotta get hot, You gotta 429 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 4: play well in all phases of the game. You can't 430 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 4: give up extra outs, you can't walk people, you can't 431 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 4: make errors, give up ninety. 432 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 5: Feet here and there. 433 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 4: You gotta really you know, it's like a pitcher needs 434 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 4: to be precise with his location. 435 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 5: You need to be just play really sharp baseball. 436 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 4: And the team that plays the sharp baseball out of 437 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: the twelve teams that are getting in it is gonna 438 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 4: win it because there's there's not that one dominant team. 439 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 4: I'll say some reasons why I think they can do 440 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 4: it without Wheeler. One is Sanchez. I watched the eight 441 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 4: team win on the back of twenty four year old 442 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 4: lefty Cole Hanils. Sanchez has you know that quality to him. 443 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 4: Love what they did in the bullpen, with Duran. I 444 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: think if Strom and Kirkering can can be a bridge 445 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 4: to Duran. I mean, you've got something really quality there. 446 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 4: You got you get a game over guy, and then 447 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 4: you know, all nine guys in the lineup are important. 448 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 4: I think it's crucial to come up with a right 449 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 4: handed bat to protect Harper. But one of the big 450 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 4: reasons I think they can win it is I think 451 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 4: that Kyle Schwarber is one of the biggest winners I've 452 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 4: ever seen, and he's having that type of season, so 453 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 4: they can win it. Gotta play good. A lot of 454 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 4: good things going for him, but you gotta play good. 455 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 4: You can't have games like you can't get no hit 456 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: in the World Series like they did in twenty twenty two. 457 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 4: You can't have defensive blunders that give the other team runs, 458 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 4: you can't chase, you know, you gotta make it. You 459 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 4: gotta be tough outs. And it all falls onto the 460 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: heading of playing good. 461 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: There's no team in baseball. I mean every fan base 462 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: right now is looking at their team. I'm trying to 463 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 2: think maybe you know, even Brewers fans are sitting there going, 464 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 2: how the hell is this team? Can this team possibly get? 465 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 2: You know, they got this issue. In that issue, they're 466 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: playing great team baseball. You know, Blue Jays fans are 467 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: riding high right now, but you know every other team 468 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 2: is sitting there going Every other fan base is watching 469 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: their own respective team saying, oh my god, we got 470 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 2: this and we're not good at that. 471 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 3: And you know, this is a huge weakness for us. 472 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: There's no team in baseball and I think is like, 473 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: I don't know if the Phillies can beat these guys. 474 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: I think the Phillies are just as good as anybody else. 475 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: They were not the best team in baseball in two 476 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: thousand and eight, but they played well at the right 477 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: time and they won. They were the best team in 478 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: twenty eleven. They did not play well and they got 479 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 2: bounced in the first round. Yes, the Phillies can win 480 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: without Zach Wheeler. The road is more difficult, of course, 481 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: but they absolutely have the talent to do it. Seems 482 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 2: like the offense is more complete since Alec Bohma is back. 483 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 2: Thoughts that's from sm lighter It I think on Instagram totally. 484 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a run producer. He just gives them 485 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: more depth. 486 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 6: And I mean, listen, JT's been great and he is 487 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 6: posted up to be able to protect those two left 488 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 6: handers in that big left handers in the lineup, but. 489 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: Having Alec Bohm there as well as part. 490 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 6: Of it makes that team so much deeper. He got 491 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 6: guys like Bryson Stott making a major adjustment with his hands. 492 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: He's got a different swing path. He's driving the ball 493 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: to all parts of the field now consistently. 494 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 6: That all those things are adding up, but Alec Bohuma 495 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 6: is an important piece. 496 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: Don't think for a moment he's not defensively, believe it 497 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: or not. Number one, it's actually a lot better than 498 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: what you had in out of camp. 499 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 6: There's no question about that, right and he's actually become 500 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 6: very steady defensively and the guy they can't count on now, 501 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 6: but also the offense man. 502 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: He's a run producer. He drives in runs. He's done, 503 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, ninety seven in a row, almost one hundred 504 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: in a row, two years in a row. 505 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 6: And that's an important piece of the of the puzzle, 506 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 6: along with some of the effort that they're getting from 507 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 6: the other guys that are deep in the lineup. 508 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 4: He's a right handed guy, knows how to drive in 509 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 4: a round, has a history of having really good at 510 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 4: bats with runners on base. They got to find somebody 511 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 4: that's that can really, you know, be sturdy behind harp 512 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 4: or I don't know if it's Boem j T Castianos. 513 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 4: When he's in there, one of those guys has to emerge, 514 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 4: I think, and could end up being bomb. 515 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: H Linda Palulo on YouTube wants you know, will they 516 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 2: bring up Andrew Painter with Zach Wheeler out for the 517 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: rest of the season. Well, you know, Rob Thompson has 518 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: said they're gonna stick with the five man for now. 519 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: But I think a lot of people. 520 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: In the organization are wondering, you know, is wondering the 521 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 2: same thing. It's like, is he is he gonna get 522 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: called up at some point? Neil. 523 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are waiting to see 524 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 3: what's gonna happen. I still think. I still think you 525 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: might get a taste at. 526 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 2: Some point, maybe in September and one of these long 527 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 2: you know, early September, and when they're on a long stretch, 528 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 2: maybe maybe throw them in there to give guys an 529 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 2: extra day. 530 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, he has to he has 531 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 3: to pitch, pitch well and earn it, no doubt, But 532 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. 533 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 5: I think now they can buy. Yeah, So you know, 534 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 5: who do you bring? 535 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you're probably going to bring a guy like 536 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: do you do you bring a guy like Rojas do 537 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: to get some. 538 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 6: Speed for a pinch run type situation? 539 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 5: Do you catcher? 540 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 6: Bring a catcher? Just Stubby come up and you know, 541 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 6: allow you to I don't know, maybe use either JT 542 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 6: or Marshaan in a pinch it role, or to pinch 543 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 6: it for one of them, because now you have three. 544 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 5: Lazarre could come back, Kemp could come back. 545 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 6: It could be could be Auto, could be Lazarre, could 546 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 6: be Painter, could be a lot of different guys. I mean, 547 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 6: there's Griff McGarry, could be a guy who knows he's 548 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 6: pitching his rear end off right now and ready. I 549 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 6: doubt that that's gonna happen, but you never know, you 550 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 6: never know. 551 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 2: Let's see a couple more here, and here's here's one. Well, 552 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 2: who's going to be the backup catcher in the playoffs? 553 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: Is Ithawn? That's from Jimmy jam for twenty seven on X. 554 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 5: That's a good question. 555 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 6: I don't think there's any question it's going to be Marshawan. 556 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 6: And I'll tell you why that son of a gun 557 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 6: can catch and throw. He can catch and throw, and oh, Stubb, 558 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 6: he does a nice job. He's got to let you 559 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 6: know the vibess he's he knows his job, he understands 560 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 6: his job. He's done a good job in that role. 561 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 6: But I got to believe that the way this team 562 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 6: is built right now, that Marshawn is probably going to 563 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 6: be the backup. 564 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: I think he's earned it too, He's he's been on 565 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: the team here. I mean, what a message? What kind 566 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: of message would that? I mean, I get it, like 567 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: you know, you're trying to put the best team on, 568 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: but I just think there'd be something kind of wrong 569 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: about that. To carry him the entire year, have him 570 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: play some meaningful games, and then all of a sudden, 571 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: all right now we. 572 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 3: Don't have to worry about options. 573 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 5: Now you're now you're off the roster. 574 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 6: So and also this, here's a piece of that we 575 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 6: make you make a good point. 576 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 10: Let's say JT doesn't get resigned and he goes to 577 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 10: San Diego, he goes to San he goes to wherever 578 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 10: he goes, and then you just sent that message to 579 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 10: Marshaan and he's not good enough, He's. 580 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 6: Probably gonna be your number one, right, He's your number 581 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 6: one catcher for next year. If JT is gone, unless 582 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 6: they sign somebody and the guys they signed, I ain't 583 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 6: gonna be better than Marshawan. 584 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: We talked about this on Thursday's episode, went through all 585 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 2: the free agent names, and they have a lot of 586 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: good looking guys out there for catchers. 587 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 3: If JT elsewhere or not, yeah here, Uh. 588 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: Jimmy jam also wants to know if you guys never 589 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 2: got into baseball or sports or sports writing in any way, 590 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 2: what do you think you guys would be doing right now. 591 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 5: I'd probably. 592 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 4: I probably would be teaching and coaching high school baseball. 593 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: Yeah you would, Yeah, you would. 594 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 3: I'd probably be teaching too.

I probably would 605 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 6: have been involved in and uh some sort of physical 606 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 6: therapy or PT. I would say to me, maybe go 607 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 6: back and think about studying to become an orthopedic surgeon. 608 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 3: Wow, you went to Stanford. You are smart enough to 609 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 3: do this. 610 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 11: I'm not that smart, just as a person who studied 611 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 11: that wanted to be orthopotic orthopedic surgeon. 612 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 4: Like when somebody says, oh, he's he tars meniscus, why 613 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 4: don't they just say he has a cartilage tear on 614 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 4: his knee? 615 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: Are you talking about that?

It's a bruise. Yeah, don't write confusion, 625 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 2: it's a bruce. 626 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 5: Like, Okay, there is a difference between a contusion and 627 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 5: a bruce.

Carlos Ruiz. 656 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 4: Carlos Ruiz was a history maker in this organization. I'm 657 00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 4: telling you because you guys traded for brad Ledge. He 658 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 4: was coming off a bad year in Houston. He could 659 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 4: have gone either way. You didn't know he was going 660 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 4: to be a sure thing. You were taking a chance. 661 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 4: He came here and he got what is that? He 662 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 4: he came to let me finish. 663 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 5: He came to Philadelphia and. 664 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 4: He got his slider back, that hard torque that would 665 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 4: corkscrew into the ground, that slider back. And the reason 666 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,479 Speaker 4: he had the confidence to throw that pitch is because 667 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 4: he knew that stone wall back there was never gonna 668 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 4: let it buy him and Carlos Ruiz. So, Carlos Ruiz's 669 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 4: ability to block balls, it was a franchise changer. It 670 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 4: allowed them to have that great forty eight for forty 671 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 4: eight season from Brad Ledge, and that was a big 672 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 4: reason why they won, you know, the World Series. 673 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 5: So I love that too. 674 00:34:54,200 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 6: Cause and effect, Baby, I like that cause effect, I 675 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 6: love it. 676 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 3: I love it. 677 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 4: Well, maybe they should go on the Wall of Fame 678 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 4: together Lydge and Ruiz. 679 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 2: That actually would make a lot of sense, enough sense, 680 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: you think Lidge does he did he have on the wall? 681 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: First? 682 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 5: You only have the one good year?

It's infinite what can 728 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 6: happen in a game of baseball, from pitch to pitch, 729 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 6: to play to play, back to it, bat inning to inning. 730 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 6: There's so many different things that can happen in a 731 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 6: game that are so unpredictable, and yet so many different 732 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 6: things cause and effect that can affect. 733 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: You know, one thing can affect so many others. 734 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 6: You don't turn a double play when you should, and 735 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 6: the next guy gets a hit and the game is lost. 736 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 5: You beat out the double play by that much. 737 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 6: Beat out the double play by that much, and it 738 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 6: creates the winning run because that guy from third scores 739 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 6: there's so many different things.
