00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: How's it going, buddy? You're in You're in Toronto, Canada.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: Philly's windy.

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of ale a.

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: They have nothing but ale here because they don't want

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: to become the fifty first state, so they're.

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: So they don't even import any bourbons or anything like

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: that up here. So I you know, struggling to find

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: some of those, but you know, yales.

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 4: So but you know, as Scott Rowland used to say,

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 4: when is a single up the middle not good enough?

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 4: I would say when is a little bat blue not

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 4: good enough?

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Great point? A little higher percentage alcohol? Nice?

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: Jim, can we tell the story about when you were

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: on What's Brewing Pa? Several years ago during the during

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: the pandemic. So so Glenn Mack now has this show,

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: What's Brewing Pa. It's on the NBC Sports Affiliates online.

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: It's a great show, and specialize in local micro breweries

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 2: and usually what they do is they have a guest

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: on and they'll say, you know, hey, Todd, come on,

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: bring on a bring a beer on, tell us why

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: you like to drink it.

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 5: So I fancy beer, like a fancy Dan beer.

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: A micro something like that.

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: And so I brought on this beer from Mawi Brewing

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: Company that I grabbed driving back from the pandemic in

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. So I had this Mawi Brewing company. You

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: can't get it in the in the area. And then

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: Jim comes on a couple of weeks later and they go, Jim,

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: would you bring us what kind of beer do you

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: want to show us? And Jim show us up with

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: a labat blue.

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 5: Actually, actually it was a Lava blue Light.

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: And apparently, the.

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: Way Jim describes it, the look of horror on Glenn

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: and Joe six packs face when he pulls out this

40
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: mass produced beer.

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: Oh six pack, Joe six pack was repulsed. I have

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 5: never been invited on again, shocking.

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: I've been on like five times since then. Jim has

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: not gotten a call back.

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: Two sis, that's so funny.

46
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 5: When is a little bat blue not good enough? On

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 5: What's Brewing?

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: I guess so funny? You like a nice little bat blue?

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: So great?

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: It is a good beer, but you nevertheless, nevertheless.

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: A beer, big beer guy. I had.

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: I finally had one yesterday a little uh, a weedy

53
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: type beer that was a micro brew.

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: But it was good.

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, you like your old fashions. I get it,

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: So so do I so do so.

57
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: One of the categories on Jeopardy last night was about whiskey.

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 5: You guys would have loved it.

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, fiddle stick I like that.

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: I like that well, Jim Jim Rubin. Bryce Harper comes

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: back Tuesday night in Toronto. First game back. Yeah, Bryson

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: Stott starts the game up, was a four pitch walk,

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: I think, right, and then Trey Turner homers and then

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper comes up and hits a big home run.

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: His first game back, gets a.

66
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Couple of walks.

67
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Could you use a guy like.

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 3: That, immediate immediate impact. Yeah, you can use a fellaw

69
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: who can do that. He was an insignt offense. He

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: was insignt offense.

71
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: You know. He has been swinging the back much better.

72
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: When he went on the road.

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: I felt like he had like a couple of hits

74
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: at night and hasn't been hitting the ball out of

75
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: the ballpark as much, although lately the power is starting

76
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: to come back. It's nice to see him drive some

77
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: balls out of the ballpark. And they had the roof

78
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: open here at Rogers Center, and boys took advantage of

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: it because the ball was flying.

80
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: Right.

81
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, nice beginning, right, nice beginning. I mean obviously, you

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: know they didn't score a lot when Harper was out,

83
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: So he's kind of a guy I think makes everything right.

84
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: You know, when you get a guy like that back.

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: Big home run by Trey, big walk by stop, big

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 4: home run by Tray, big home run by Harper. Good

87
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: way to start a road trip. I mean, Harper's swing

88
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: was nice. I love the way he kept his hands back.

89
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: Was that a it had a little hump in it was.

90
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: It was a split, and it was a split that

91
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: didn't that didn't really split enough.

92
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: He kept his hands back nice and he kind of

93
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 5: flicked it.

94
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeap, he didn't really, he didn't really put that Harper

95
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: unleashed swing on it. And then and that's a good

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: sign too, because he didn't need to because he back

97
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: spun it nicely.

98
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: He didn't have to.

99
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: He's a strong man, and you know when he squares it,

100
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: it's gonna go. I I don't care if it goes

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 4: four sixty, I'll take three eighty anytime.

102
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: Exactly right, as long as it's ball, a fly ball

103
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: that happens to go over the fence, right, Charlie, Charlie.

104
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: That was I always love when Charlie would say that,

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: because it's so true, just get it over the fence.

106
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, he makes the lineup obviously look

107
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: so much. We've heard a lot about that the last

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: five days. You know, what does the lineup look like

109
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: without him? What does the lineup look like with him?

110
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: How much of a difference does it make for the

111
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: for the hitters around him? And yeah, you just see

112
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper's name in there, even if he's not swinging it. Well,

113
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: you gotta be ready.

114
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: It was funny after the interview, we did a postgame

115
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: interview and he's talking about making fun of us.

116
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: So at least somebody's got some protection for Trey. Now,

117
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: Trey Turner.

118
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, Speaking of that, it's time for

119
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: the Arena club player spotlight. Guys, we got to talk

120
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: about Trey Turner. Right, Trey Turner. It's two home runs

121
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: on Tuesday night in Toronto. First one was an opposite

122
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: field to run homer in the first end and gave

123
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: the Phillies a two to nothing lead. And then he

124
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: hits a two on homer to left in the eighth

125
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: inning to give them an eight one lead. Nice day

126
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: for Trey Turner. I mean, he keeps it rolling. So

127
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: I was looking up these numbers the other night or

128
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: last night after the game. Tray was hitting two seventeen

129
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: with a six twelve OPS in eighteen games through April eighteenth.

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: He was really struggling. We heard a lot of oh

131
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: my gosh, what's this guy gonna? You know, where is

132
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: he can play and move them off for short?

133
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Ten more years?

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, ten more years, blah blah blah. Since then, Trey

135
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: Turner batting three forty one six home runs, twenty four

136
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: irby eyes, and eight ninety eight OPS. That's his last

137
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: forty games, sixth in baseball and hitting in that span

138
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: seventeenth in OPS. In that span, he has a three

139
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: eighty six on base percentage, which is twenty third in baseball.

140
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: He entered Tuesday, or I should say he enters Wednesday

141
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: six amongst all shortstops in baseball in War TiO point

142
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: one war. That's in fangrafts. He's been pretty good.

143
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: Really good.

144
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: So when I hear you say that, Todd, what really

145
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: resonates with me is April eighteenth, Like there's so much

146
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: impatience now in baseball that didn't used to be here. Yeah,

147
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: the season hasn't even begun barely. I mean, if it was, like,

148
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: you know, a race, they just left the starting blocks.

149
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: They've they've made two or three strides. But we just

150
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: start analyzing stuff right out of the gate when it's

151
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: freezing and it's mud season and it's cold. You know,

152
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: this is a long term thing. And April eighteenth, the

153
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: season hasn't even begun. And hearing those numbers, you know,

154
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: you've got to let a guy get going a little

155
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 4: bit what I'm saying, But hearing those numbers since April eighteenth,

156
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, is he in Atlanta in July for the

157
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: All Star Game?

158
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: I don't know?

159
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Why would Why would he not be?

160
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: I guess maybe some of the defensive woes will pull

161
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: him back a little bit. But offensively, it's an offensive game,

162
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: offensive minded game. Now, why would he not be? Who

163
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: is how many? I mean Lindor is the other shortstop?

164
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: I mean Geraldo Perdomo.

165
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm not saying he's starting but he might be

166
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: departing for Atlanta.

167
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: And you know, it's like.

168
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: He has followed orders from headquarters. Chase less, more contact,

169
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: more on base. Okay, that's what you want from me,

170
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: I'll do it.

171
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: And he's done it and steal more basis, which is

172
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: still more basis.

173
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

174
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: I know the defense is a struggle, but he hadn't

175
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: made an error in over a month before a very

176
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: egregious one on Sunday.

177
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 5: We'll admit that.

178
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 4: But there has been improvement in this guy's game. I mean,

179
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: I still believe at some point he needs to go

180
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 4: to the outfield, but twenty twenty five through you know,

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: June fourth, there's been improvement.

182
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

183
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, defensively, I mean yeah, I mean, do you think

184
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: just the eye test, I mean, he's played a better

185
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: short stop. I'm not saying he's a lead or anything

186
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: like that. Maybe he's league average, you know, at best,

187
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I feel like he's played an

188
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: overall better short step. Obviously, yeah, that the era on

189
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: Sunday it was a huge error. I mean he acknowledged

190
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: that after the game. He said, I feel like I've

191
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: played better shortstop, but when I have made an air,

192
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: it seems to come in a bad spot, but offensively,

193
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: you can't argue with with what he's doing at the

194
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: top of that lineup. It's pretty pretty impressive.

195
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: He being very tray like.

196
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the reason why they got him, because

197
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: he's pretty damn dynamic offensively, and it's nice to see

198
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: him driving the ball the other way. He would have

199
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: had another triple if he had he had not smoked

200
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: the ball right at Vladimir Guerrero. I mean, Glad Junior

201
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: made an unbelievable play on him. Shoot, he would have added,

202
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: you know, have a chance for the cycle.

203
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: Maybe even Yeah, he's been he's been tremendous.

204
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: He's been hot.

205
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: Hey, Ruben, quick question. I have not been to that

206
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: ballpark since they reconfigured it. Is it looking like it

207
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: really short to the alleys in center field? I mean,

208
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: know they lowered that wall. They reconfigure the outfield little

209
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: bit of the wall right.

210
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't look super short, but it doesn't look

211
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: nearly as big out there. And I do think that

212
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: the ball I think that they're more apt to try

213
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: to keep the the uh, the try to keep the

214
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: windows open, to try to keep it open aired because

215
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 3: I think they feel like it has a little bit

216
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: more offense to it. So in the past, anytime, you know,

217
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: there's even a question as to whether there's any weather

218
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: at all, they close it up.

219
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: But now they're going to try to open it up

220
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: as much as they can.

221
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: Good.

222
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the point was, but I would

223
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 3: I would imagine they want to see a little bit

224
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: more offense.

225
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Oh f F E n C.

226
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, up north, up north.

227
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 4: They've had some offense over the years that it's maybe

228
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 4: you scratch your head a little bit.

229
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, correct, All right, so let's let's so Arena Arena

00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: Now Ellie da Cruz just talking got them talking about

237
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: Trey Turner. Ellie DALYA Cruz gets so much love from

238
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: so many people. And I mean, he's a very talented player,

239
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: but Trey Turner has been better than him this year.

240
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, Ellie Dayla.

241
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: Cruz last year finished eighth for an l m VP.

242
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: Fun fact, I had an MVP vote last year. I

243
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 2: did not put him on my ballot. I did not

244
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: put him in the top ten. You know, I appreciate

245
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: the talent and all that, but I thought there were

246
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: you played on a losing team, strikes out a lot,

247
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: he steals a lot of bases, gets caught stealing a lot.

248
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't think he he warranted.

249
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: A lot of fun to his game. Though.

250
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is as super fun. I hope he puts

251
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: it all together and like really like lives up to

Speaker 1: Guys.

277
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: We asked for questions yesterday. Got a lot of questions, a.

278
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: Lot of questions.

279
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: Let's fire I want to fire this off. This one

280
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: goes to Ruben right off the bat card right off there.

281
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: They want they want to grill Ruben here now, so

282
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: Ruben said, I don't recall this. So Ruben Ruben said

283
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago that the Phillies still hold the

284
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: cards on Kyle Schwarber. They still and at what point

285
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: do they no longer. That's from Bill Brown on X.

286
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: I didn't say they still held the cards.

287
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 3: I don't think I used that terminology, but I said

288
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: that they should hold off and see, you know, what

289
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: they've got out of them and what they should do

290
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 3: with him. Listen, the player always holds the cards, that's.

291
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: The bottom line.

292
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: The player always holds the cards because he can decide

293
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: what he wants to do.

294
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of free agency. So I don't know

295
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: if I ever really said that necessarily.

296
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: But I did say that maybe they're going to have

297
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: to wait, or they should wait till the end of

298
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: the season and see where they want to go. There's

299
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: no question in my mind that they should and want to,

300
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: you know, keep him in the Philadelphia Phillies uniform for

301
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: as long as possible. I don't think there's any question

302
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: about that. But you know, it's going to be difficult

303
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: to get it done during the middle of the season.

304
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: It can be done. But it's not like they can't

305
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: sign the guy if he becomes a free agent right right,

306
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: because they've.

307
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: Done that before.

308
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: And to be frank with you, I don't know if

309
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: there's that many teams out there that will want and

310
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: to sign a guy to this kind of money as

311
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: a DH who is in his you know, approaching his

312
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: mid thirties.

313
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna you're talking about.

314
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: You know, a very limited group of teams that are

315
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: going to be able to one do want to keep them,

316
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: two who will be willing to pay that kind of money,

317
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: and three can pay that kind of money. I think

318
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,119
Speaker 3: the Phillies will be one of those teams.

319
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 5: Clearly just dovetailing off that real quick.

320
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: You say, you know, wait till the end of the

321
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: season to see what they want to do. I think

322
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: maybe you wait till the off season to see what

323
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: other teams are willing to do, and then you boom,

324
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: come in on top of it if you want, you know,

325
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 4: see what the market is and make it clear we

326
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 4: want you and and get it done. And I think

327
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: they have something going for them. He wants to be here,

328
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: and I think they have the wherewithal to do it

329
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 4: and to do it. And I think they know how

330
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: important power is in this ballpark.

331
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: It's a good marriage.

332
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 4: I think both teams, both sides want to extend it.

333
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: Did you guys sit on top of that just wanted

334
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: it as a funny aside. Did you guys see what

335
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: he did with yesterday with Max Scharser, I mean it.

336
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: Was funny as hell, man.

337
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: I mean he Max sus are throwing a For those

338
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: who didn't see it, he was throwing a simulated game.

339
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: He's trying to come back from nerve damage in his finger,

340
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: and he's thrown against the Toronto hitters, and he sneaks

341
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: over in.

342
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: Full uniform with his helmet in the whole nine yards

343
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: and when Max Scharzer turns his back, he jumps into

344
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: the box and Max looks up and there he is,

345
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: and he's like the hell at it?

346
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: They like, they like messing with Max. You know, Trey

347
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: Turner did that in spring training. Remember a first pitch

348
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: of the game was right down the middle, and Trade

349
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: did the challenge challenge in a game in dinted because

350
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: Max made it clear he does not like the challenge.

351
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: Is like the challenge to tell you, I'm sorry tell

352
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: you there is one of those guys who's he's sort

353
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 4: of nuts.

354
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: I mean he's crazy. I mean he you know, he's

355
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: got two different color eyes. Anybody with two different color eyes,

356
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: you know you're crazy like anybody but his pictures ever,

357
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: But he's nuts.

358
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: Anybody but Schwarmer probably would have gotten one of the

359
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 4: rifts for doing that. Todd, don't you have a spring

360
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: training story about Schwarmer this year?

361
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: But what am I thinking of? Jim?

362
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 5: Do I? You told me that you went to dinner

363
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: one night and.

364
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: Oh oh, that is not a Schwarber story. That's a

365
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: Max I.

366
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 5: I'm sure the story story.

367
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: So I go to I go to the French He's

368
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: on South Beach and just sit sit at the bar,

369
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: grab my group of sandwich. I look over and write

370
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: to my right, Max, sure's a is sitting there eating

371
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: dinner by himself. Not a single person bothered. I was

372
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: absolutely amazed, you know, because he does stand out obviously,

373
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: because he does have the eyes and you know, you

374
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: see my TV and you went like, I wondered what

375
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: that looks like in real left nod, his his the

376
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: multi colored eyes definitely jump out at you. I'm like,

377
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: how does nobody recognize that this is Maxters are just

378
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: sitting at the bar having a group of sandwich.

379
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: So I will tell you that that's exactly what happened yesterday.

380
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 3: Everybody's walking back over the bridge from Rogers Center after

381
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: the game, and we had just done our broadcast and

382
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: we're walking. Scott Franski and I were walking and there's

383
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: Max Suers just walking along jeans, T shirt, hat on.

384
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: No one has any idea it's him.

385
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: No, he just walks right past the crowd.

386
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 3: And right on to where he was going, where he

387
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: lives or whatever. It was hilarious, Like Max, so you

388
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 3: don't like the crowds. It was funny he turned out

389
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: looking at us.

390
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 4: I just love that, Like this Hall of Fame pitcher

391
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: eating a group of sandwich nobody recognizes him.

392
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: That's really funny.

393
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: I literally kept looking around, like, is nobody gonna go

394
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: up to this guy and bother him?

395
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 5: I was expecting.

396
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: Somebody to bother him. Nobody did, though, so dovetailing off

397
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: of Jim's dovetail. Is there a chance the Phillies give

398
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: jt real Muto an extension? If not, who would be

399
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: a good option to replace him? That's m Jermino on Instagram.

400
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: You guys have any thoughts on jtam He's having a

401
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: down year offensively, of course, uh, but defensively he's still

402
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 2: very good. And you know, in terms of his impact

403
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: on the pitching staff, planning, game planning, game call pitch calling.

404
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: He is. He is still elite in my mind, and

405
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: I know the pitchers all absolutely love throwing to JT.

406
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: I feel like that one's going to go into the

407
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: offseason and see what the market is and then go

408
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: from there.

409
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 5: You know, I could, I could.

410
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: See a reasonable two year deal to return, but if

411
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 4: somebody goes, you know, above that, maybe he's elsewhere. And

412
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 4: as far as the replacement, I don't know. I just

413
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 4: don't know to be very important transaction for this team.

414
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: But there's not a lot out there in the free

415
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: agent market this year. I just I was looking at

416
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: it the other day and there's there there isn't any

417
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: Oh well, if they lose j T, they'll just go

418
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 2: out and get this guy. There's a lot of catchers

419
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: with club options mutual options, and none of them are

420
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: at that level of better than j T.

421
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: I would I would say, there's not a lot of

422
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: great catchers period. Let's just call well, you know what

423
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: that's called. You know, tell the truth. There's not that

424
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: many good catchers out there. There really are not.

425
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: And uh and you know, pitching is the strength of

426
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: this team and they need to have a somebody who

427
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: can run that that uh, that pitching staff, and so.

428
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: I do like Marshawn. I do like what he brings

429
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: to the table.

430
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: I don't know that he's going to be able to

431
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: be durable enough. He's never really been healthy enough to

432
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: be able to get through a full season, let alone

433
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 3: a major league season.

434
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: Does he have the tools to be an everyday catcher.

435
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: I think he does because I do believe that it

436
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: receives well.

437
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Switch hitter, he's got a pretty good swing.

438
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: He's not getting a lot of reps, so you don't

439
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: really know what kind of hitter he's going to be

440
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: based on what you've seen so far. But that's a

441
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: very risky move to allow a guy like this, who's

442
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: so important to the team to run that staff. I

443
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: you know, to me, I think you're right, Jim. I

444
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 3: think you wait to see what he's going to, wait

445
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: to see what the market's gonna bear, and then I'm

446
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 3: gonna go from there. But I'd like to try to

447
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: keep it to a two year deal, keep it short

448
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: because tight height's coming.

449
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 5: Tight's coming, but he needs time.

450
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: I like eighteen years old.

451
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 5: I like marsh On.

452
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 4: I like the tools, I like the guy. But now

453
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: we're into early June. And here's my take on what

454
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: I've seen from mar Chan. I see a guy that's tiptoeing.

455
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: He's tiptoeing around, trying to find his place. He's a backup.

456
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 5: And I don't see until the other day when he.

457
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 4: Had that big game in the double header, first came

458
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: a double huader. I'd like to see him play with

459
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 4: a little more energy. Here you're there, like, really go

460
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: out and I'm getting my one assignment a week. I'm

461
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 4: gonna grab it by the throat and take it for

462
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 4: all it's worth.

463
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 5: I just see that.

464
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: Sure, that Todd Prat energy, that Todd Prat energy. Yeah, well,

465
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying. I mean that Todd Prad was hey,

466
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: yet he had a higher lever little you know.

467
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 4: This is my but Marjohn's Marchohn's got a different personnelity.

468
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: He's a quiet kid, he's unobtrusive, he's humble. But I

469
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 4: think when you get nine innings a week, I just

470
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 4: want to see him just grab it by the throat

471
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 4: a little bit more. And that might come as confidence bills.

472
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 4: It's you know, he's essentially a rookie first year in

473
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: this role. He's replaced a popular guy. I just see

474
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: him tiptoe in a little. But I think it's time.

475
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: It's June forth, time to stop tiptoeing and you get

476
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 4: your nine ings a week.

477
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 5: Attack them.

478
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: Mark Mark mc n eighty four on Threads said, I

479
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: think the Phillies need an all star caliber right handed

480
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 2: bat at the trade deadline to have a shot. I'm

481
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 2: talking out about it. I'm talking about a player better

482
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 2: than Rhys Hoskins, which was just something that was thrown

483
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: out there last week. I don't think they abilidity do it?

484
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 2: Do the Phillies agree? Do they think? Do they do?

485
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: They agree with him that they need an all star

486
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: caliber right handed bat at the trades?

487
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: Do to agree? I think that there's no question about it.

488
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: They know they need more offense, that that center field

489
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: and left field is not giving them enough, just not

490
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: their whole outfield is just not giving them enough offense.

491
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: And that doesn't necessarily have to be right handed, but

492
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: it'd be you'd rather have right handed because is out

493
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 3: They just need a really, really good offensive player, and.

494
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: That's a hard thing to find.

495
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: Because there's no much so much mediocrity out there right

496
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: now in Major League Baseball that everybody's still in the race.

497
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: It's you know, everybody's still in the race. There's you know,

498
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: four teams that are out of the races or two.

499
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: Another than that. Everybody's still trying to win. So it's

500
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: going to be tough to find that guy. And that

501
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: guy might be sitting somewhere in Lei Valley.

502
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: Well, great, great point.

503
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that, but maybe.

504
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: Right so let me ask you guys, let me follow

505
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: up this. Then let's go right to Logan bros On

506
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: X says, when will they call up Justin Crawford or

507
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: Otto Camp.

508
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, we might be soon.

509
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, when we've talked a lot about both guys almost

510
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: every episode, I think we talk about both guys. I

511
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: think Cam's going to get a look at some point.

512
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued about the right handed bat. I know it's

513
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: triple A pitching, but he's hitting what's in front of

514
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: him every night. I think he's going to hit his

515
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 4: way here at some point and get a look, get

516
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 4: an opportunity maybe in the left field platoon. And I

517
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: think if they could get a productive bet in a

518
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 4: left field plall dooon, that's a nice, nice addition to

519
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 4: the ball club. As far as Crawford, we talked about

520
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 4: him extensively the other day. He's, you know, getting multi

521
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 4: hits almost every night, hitting like three eighties. Since May

522
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 4: first done a great job. They fast tracked him with

523
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 4: the idea that he's going to be here at some

524
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 4: point possibly, and I think there's a pretty good chance

525
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 4: because he's producing in center field here. Is not producing

526
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 4: to me the big challenge or is just the decision itself,

527
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: because he's twenty one years old. He's young, he's not

528
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 4: a college player. He came out of high school. He's

529
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: a twenty one year old kid. And I don't know

530
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 4: if I want to throw him in the tide and

531
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 4: have him get buried. That said, his performance is making

532
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: you take notice. This is where I think, you know,

533
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: I think veteran wisdom is so important in this game

534
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 4: in terms of your minor league instruction and your minor

535
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: league staff. And I would really lean on my player

536
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: development people, my Triple A manager, my Triple A coaches,

537
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 4: the people who see this kid every day, have seen

538
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 4: him every day coming through the minor leagues as to

539
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: you know, mentally, in terms of psyche, can he handle a.

540
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 5: Jump to Philadelphia at age twenty one?

541
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 4: Can he handle the possibility that, you know, it's going

542
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 4: into the greatest league in the world. Can he handle

543
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 4: the possibility that some nights it's not going to be

544
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 4: that easy, And is it going to wound him long

545
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 4: term if he struggles. To me, that's the big decision.

546
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 4: I want to make sure that he is, you know,

547
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 4: not so much physically, but I want to make sure

548
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: he is mentally ready for this jump.

549
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 5: So I think at some point we might see him.

550
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 4: We could see him, but it's it's a really tough

551
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 4: call for that for that front office.

552
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: I think that you're going to see him at some point, honestly,

553
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 3: and I hope it's when these guys are swinging the

554
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 3: bats well in the top bart of the lineup, when

555
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: they're going good.

556
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Then the pressure's off him.

557
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: Then he just adds and you put him in the

558
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 3: back of the lineup, bottom of the lineup, and let

559
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 3: him go. But I think you're gonna see him sometime

560
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: in the next within the next few maybe a month

561
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: or so, because they need to find out, just like

562
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: they need to find.

563
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: Out about what Taiwan Walker and the bullpenck Max.

564
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: You know, we're talking about a lot about center field.

565
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: Max Kepler, guys since he had a three hit game

566
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: in Chicago in late April. Since then, thirty games, he's

567
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: bet in one seventy nine with a six thirty ops.

568
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: I mean, so they're not getting much of anything.

569
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: And left he's having some good at bats, but he's there.

570
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: They're not. They're not coming to fruition. He's not. And

571
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: he's an outstanding left fielder. Man.

572
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: I love the left field defense, which is important because

573
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: the center field and the right field.

574
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Even though.

575
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 3: Castianos has played much much better, he just doesn't cover

576
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: a ton of ground, right And are they're center fielders

577
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: when Rojas is not in there, you know, Brandon marsh

578
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 3: isn't covering a ton of ground. So the defense is

579
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: still important, especially the ball in the air.

580
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Man for these for this, for these pitching staff.

581
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a team that has not played

582
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: great defense as a as a group, I would say

583
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: they need to get any they need to take any

584
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: edge they can defensively. So that's something that that's something

585
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: to consider. So do the Phillies get a bullpen piece

586
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: or two? Right now? That's from t Montgomery ten on Instagram.

587
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: Well, they're getting one in Taiwan Walker, but they need

588
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 3: another yeah, at.

589
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: Least they need they need another David Dombrowski. I believe

590
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 4: we'll get another, uh, and then they're gonna get upgrades

591
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: from the surplus and the rotation, you know, when the

592
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: weather gets chili, if you know. I expect them to

593
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: play in October, and I think they'll get additions from

594
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 4: their rotation. And I'm very intrigued by it because I

595
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: think there's some potential uh there at the.

596
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: Got a chance to be really exciting with if Nola

597
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: get wants once Nola gets back in the rotation, hopefully

598
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks here he gets back in

599
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: the rotation, and you set it up such that when

600
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: you roll into October, you can throw a whole bunch

601
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: of guys back there, whether it's ranger able, painter, maybe

602
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: you know, all types of big arms that can stop

603
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: a baseball game.

604
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: So guys, uh, I don't want to interrupt the questions.

605
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 4: They're great questions, but I'm hearing this like trade ranger talk,

606
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: and it's gonna make my head explode.

607
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Oh it's ridiculous. Okay, okay, well, not happen. And if

608
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: it does happen, it's because they're out of it and

609
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: that's not gonna spen.

610
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 4: That's the only reason it happens, and that's that's the

611
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 4: only reason that happens.

612
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: Done, So everybody take your mind off the Ranger movement.

613
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: They don't have enough pitching.

614
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 4: You're here to win the World Series in twenty twenty five,

615
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: you need Ranger.

616
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the idea that he's gonna be a free

617
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: agent for the season. They have so much starting pitching.

618
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 3: And yah, I just don't you know, Like, it's insanity,

619
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: that's crazy, that's insanity.

620
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: There's a couple of differences of insanity. That's one of them.

621
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: I agree. So wait, so, uh here's a let's let's

622
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: stay in the bullpen theme? Any closer options think Dave

623
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: Dombrowski would look at leading up to the trade deadline.

624
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: That's some Sean Woolford on Instagram. Well, I think, I mean,

625
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: I'll start.

626
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: I think a.

627
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: Big thing is you look at the standings right now,

628
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of teams that are absolutely

629
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: for sure out of the postseason race. So are those

630
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: teams that are still within wildcard contention? Are they going

631
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: to trade their closer? I guess that the package is

632
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: big enough they might, but I'm talking about somebody like

633
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: you know, the Red Sox or they're out right now.

634
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: But Eraldus Chapman, Pete Fairbanks of the Rays is out there.

635
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: Kyle Finnigan and the Nationals. I mean that he might

636
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: be available, or I would expect him to be available.

637
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: But Mason Miller from the A's that they're not.

638
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: They're not moving Mason Milder. They're very I think they're

639
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: very acquired about him. He's he's got under control. They

640
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: have a young team, they want to try to build

641
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: with that young team, and he's got I mean, it's

642
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: already been sort of semi documented that they eat They're

643
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: just not going to move the guy, Like, so why

644
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 3: are you beating the horse down?

645
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 4: They definitely have inquired about Mason Miller last question. In

646
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 4: the offseason, that was one of the potential destinations for

647
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 4: Boem and Seattle for some of their starting pitching. So

648
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 4: I think they'll get a bullpen arm. Those are all

649
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 4: intriguing names that you mentioned, but you know, twelve teams

650
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: make the playoffs, and it just makes these teams hold

651
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 4: on and hold on and hold on and hold on,

652
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: and then that's why you know, I think we're going

653
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 4: to see a flurry the final forty eight hours before

654
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 4: the deadline as gms make a tough call whether we're

655
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: in or whether we're out.

656
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: It'll happen all the way down to the deadline.

657
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 3: And if you think about it, were some of the

658
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: reasons why some of these teams are so bad is

659
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 3: because their bullpen suck.

660
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so why do you want to get a good

661
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: player player from a bullpen that stinks?

662
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: Right? Well, you look at the Rockies, rightly, is there

663
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: anybody on that team?

664
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

665
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 5: Right, But there's two guys that will probably move. That

666
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 5: Bird guy will probably move, and what's the other guy?

667
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: Jake Bird?

668
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 4: Bird and Kinsle will probably you know, they'll probably move.

669
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 4: There'll be a bunch of relievers on. You say, bad

670
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: teams moving. It happens every year.

671
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: Jake Bird gotta make up with Bryce Harper if you're

672
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: going to join the Phils.

673
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that won't happen.

674
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 5: Oh, there would.

675
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 4: The minute he walks in. They'll they'll be bros. They'll

676
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 4: shake hands. Put on that same UNI.

677
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 2: Here's the one from Magic Meadows Farms on Instagram. If

678
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: the Phillies are locked into Trey Turner shortstep, why are

679
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: they so protective of Aiden Miller. Where would he fit.

680
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 4: Because I think Trey Turner is going to move to

681
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: the outfield at some point during his contract and Alec

682
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 4: Bowman is going to be a free agent after next year,

683
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 4: after twenty twenty six. He can play both left side positions.

684
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: That left side could be in flux in the very

685
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 4: near future.

686
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: That's why thank you, Jim Great inciseise.

687
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: Do you guys have any thoughts on which top prospects

688
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: are most likely be traded? That's from Eb five thousand

689
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: on Instagram.

690
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 3: I think a guy like Rik Konas might get traded

691
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: because he's got some power potential and it's having a

692
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 3: pretty good year up in Lehigh Valley. I think that

693
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know if there's any untouchables,

694
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: but some are more touchable than others, right, And it's tough.

695
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: It's a tough call.

696
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 3: But when you start talking about the Crawfords and the

697
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: Ables and the Painters and the Millers of the world,

698
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: you got to be awfully careful because you want to

699
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 3: try to sustain this organization for a long time, and

700
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: you better be right when you make those trades, for

701
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: when you move those guys you better not miss.

702
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: What do you think, Todd, what about a guy like

703
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: a run Escobar down in clear Water?

704
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: I think he was definitely BeMoved and he's gonna be.

705
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 3: He's a really good looking hitter. That's my that's my

706
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: brother's my brother represents him. Maroon's been outstanding. Wow, he's

707
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 3: my brother represents him. I think it's uh, Beverly Hills

708
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: Sports Council who represents him. And I talked to Ruben Ruben,

709
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: I talked to Luise about him, and uh, he loves him,

710
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: thinks he's great and the kids, the kid can really hit.

711
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: I talked to Charlie Manuel about him, and he loves.

712
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 5: He loves them l o v e s loves.

713
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 4: He actually put a name on him the other day.

714
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 4: I'm a little reluctant to say it, but he said, yeah.

715
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 4: He kind of reminds me of Bill Madlock. I remember,

716
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 4: I remember Bill Maddlock. Why would you be why would

717
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 4: you be reluctant to say that? You know, expectations, pressure,

718
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 4: all that stuff. But Bill Madlock was a pure hitter.

719
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 5: Battle raked Rake, he.

720
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 2: Won like I feel like Bill Madlock won a few

721
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: batting titles. As I recall back in the.

722
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: You know what, you know, he raked, he.

723
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 5: Did win batting titles.

724
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 4: And you know what's really funny is coming into this

725
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 4: off season, coming into the season, in the off season

726
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 4: and even last.

727
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 5: Year, where like you know, Mick Abel trade Chip, you.

728
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 4: Know hasn't put it together yet.

729
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 5: Now I've gotten so greedy. Haven't seen what I've seen

730
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 5: in this turnaround of his. I don't want to trade him.

731
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 4: I want to make him and Painter pillars going forward

732
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 4: of that rotation me too.

733
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 3: I mean, listen there that they got long term contracts

734
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 3: from a couple of guys who have a little longer

735
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: of tooth. They're losing Suarez to they need depth. I mean,

736
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 3: if they're gonna, like I said, if they're gonna move

737
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: any of those guys, you cannot miss. And you've got

738
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 3: to have some control of those players. So if Abel

739
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 3: moves for like a bat for instance, an all starback

740
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 3: that someone's looking for, right it, that's son of a

741
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 3: gun better be around for the team for a while.

742
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: Ruby.

743
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: I want to ask you this, So when you made

744
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: all when you made those trades in nine, ten eleven,

745
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: the offseason trade for Doc, none of those guys really

746
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: came back to haunt the Phillies. I mean, Carlos Krasco

747
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: event became something. Travis Darnaut became a good he became

748
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: like an e league average maybe a little above a

749
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: league average catcher. But none of those guys can like,

750
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: oh my god, we Kyle dree Beek is just haunting.

751
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: The We did very well.

752
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, though, like, is that really

753
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: did he just really really know those Was that just luck?

754
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 2: I mean because he had to trade talent to get talent,

755
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: and you did at the time. But do you just

756
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: get lucky or is that just really knowing your players

757
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 2: in your system? In other words, I.

758
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: Think it's a little bit of both. I mean, I

759
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: think we knew our players in the system pretty well.

760
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: You know, when we moved the uh you know, we

761
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: did the Cliff Lead deal. I didn't none of those guys.

762
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 3: They were all decent players, and they were sort of

763
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: close to the big leagues, but they were more close

764
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 3: to the big leagues and being high upside players. Donald's

765
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: of the world and the catcher that we Lou Marson,

766
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: you know, premium position, but we weren't. You know, he's

767
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: going to be necessarily an elite number one catcher.

768
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: But there was that kid, that picture Nap from New

769
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 4: Jersey who threw hard that.

770
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 3: Was not and that was probably the best overall prospect,

771
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: and he broke sadly and I felt badly for him,

772
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 3: and I felt badly for Cleveland actually, because you want

773
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: to make a deal that's that's you know, equitable. But

774
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 3: the you know, I think we did well with them,

775
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 3: and we were fortunate. I think we did a pretty

776
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 3: good job of evaluating our own and uh.

777
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: And their prospects, they're just prospects.

778
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 5: Question.

779
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: I hadn't played a game in the big leagues. Really.

780
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: I think maybe Lou Marston added a little bit, but

781
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: a little bit.

782
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 5: What do you guys?

783
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 4: Uh, what do you What's the first thing that pops

784
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 4: into your mind when I say the name Jason Donald?

785
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: You got the thing? I think? Adn't he did you

786
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: have trouble with the throw? He had some trouble. Uh?

787
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 4: The first thing that pops into my mind is he

788
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: was the base runner the night that Gloraga from the

789
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: Tigers lost his perfect game on that bad call, and

790
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 4: Jason Donald ran across the bag knowing he was out,

791
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 4: and you could see the look on his face.

792
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: As Jim Joyce was it was he the first base?

793
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's it, Jim Joyce, man that because he's a

794
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: great guy. A tough day. He broke down and cried afterwards. Man,

795
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean he knew he made a mistake. It's awful.

796
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: It's a shame. It's a shame.

797
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 4: But Jason Donald was the base runner and I did

798
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 4: not know that he hit the ground ball. Yeah, he

799
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 4: was the base runner. He crossed the bag and it

800
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 4: was this look of disbelief on the face. I'm sorry,

801
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 4: I digress, but that's what I think of when I

802
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 4: I did not know that.

803
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: I also figured his story in, Jim, I had his story.

804
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 4: I think I remember Jason Donald hitting two bombs in

805
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 4: Dunedin one day too.

806
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:47,520

831
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,600

Speaker 2: bombs from the right handed side, getting on right there.

838
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 3: I mean, not a great defender as far as covering ground,

839
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 3: but solid when he gets there and caught it and

840

842
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:23,719

892
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: know this is I like going to these retro hats

893
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: because I started thinking about I go to Baseball reference page,

894
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: I look at those stats. So nineteen forty nine, August nineteenth,

895
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: nineteen forty nine, Phillies held Eddie Wakas Night Eddie Wakes

896
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: Night at Shy Park. Why did they have an Eddie

897
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: Wakes Night?

898
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: Why?

899
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 5: Hold on, he's the guy that got got shot.

900
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 3: Yes, so that the base that based the movie on him, right,

901
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: The Natural Natural that scene.

902
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Yea.

903
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: So they had an Eddie Wakes Night on August nineteenth,

904
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: nineteen forty nine, at Shy Park because it was his

905
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: first time in uniform since being shot wow on June fourteenth,

906
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: nineteen forty nine in Chicago Hotel. Uh yeah, it became

907
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: the inspiration for the movie The Natural. And uh so

908
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: then when I go on newspapers dot com, right, and

909
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: I start reading about it, I want to see what,

910
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: like what what goes on at Eddie Wakes Night? Like

911
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 2: what happens at Eddie waketh Night? And he ended up

912
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: getting Eddie Wakes ended up getting an automobile, a television set,

913
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 2: two radios, several risk watches, a match out of luggage,

914
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: a match set of golf clubs, and a golf bag

915
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: as on Eddie Wakes Night. And here's here's probably perhaps

916
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: the most interesting thing though. Dick Sissler, who was on

917
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: the Whiz Kids that year, Big hit. They got a

918
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: huge hit that year. It was the last game of

919
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: the season. Get him in the win the pennant uh

920
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: Dick Sissler presented him with his first baseman's met, bronzed

921
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: and mounted on a stand on a stand and with autographs.

922
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: Here's the part that killed me. Bronzed first baseman's met,

923
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 2: mounted on a stand with autographs from his teammates and

924
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 2: baseball writers who covered the.

925
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that's how famous you guys would have been.

926
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 4: Can you imagine if like they gave Zach Wheeler a

927
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 4: glove with our autographs on it, their look of repulsion

928
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 4: that would be on his face.

929
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: I thought that, I thought that was so funny, because

930
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 2: that is something that wouldn't even pop in anybody's head nowadays,

931
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: there would be no such thing like even like bringing

932
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: back a former player, right like even if he had,

933
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 2: like you know Jimmie Rownd's Wall of Fame night in August.

934
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: You know you wouldn't have like, you wouldn't give him

935
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: a gift and say here, here's by the way, you

936
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: got Chase's autograph here, and here's Mike Schmidtz and Chase

937
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: Utley's and Jim Salisbury Todd's lucky Matt Gilmer here, that

938
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: would be so funny, breaks it over his knee, uses

939
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 2: it for kindling.

940
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 4: Right after that, it would be like once there was

941
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 4: a player we know very well who was presented with

942
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 4: a gift and he left it in the.

943
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 5: Lock or remember that?

944
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 2: Yes, I do remember.

945
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 5: So when you say Eddie Wakes, I have to get personal.

946
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 4: My dad told me many many times his first glove

947
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 4: as a kid.

948
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 5: Was Eddie Wakes.

949
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

950
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 5: It had Eddie Wakes's.

951
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 4: You know, autograph in the in the po Okay, it

952
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 4: was probably probably early fifties.

953
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

954
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

955
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the first basement of the nineteen fifty

956
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: Whiz kids.

957
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: So they're speaking of gloves. How about the kid David Schneider.

958
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 5: That's a great glove.

959
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 4: As soon as I saw that picture last year, I

960
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 4: recognized that glove immediately because vuk had a very distinctive

961
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 4: v Uk block letters that I knew whose glove that

962
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 4: was immediately.

963
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: And then when they.

964
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 3: Said found he was working out in a facility and

965
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 3: I guess in somewhere in Jersey near Boorhi's where Uk

966
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: is from. And he found this glove in the air.

967
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 3: It looks like a kind of a cool glove, said

968
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 3: Vuk on it. He didn't even know whose it was

969
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 3: or didn't even know who John Vukovich was, I don't

970
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 3: think gets the glove uses it. And then Vince, his

971
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: son sees him, sees it in a game, and they

972
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 3: started talking to me and it was like, oh my god,

973
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: that's my dad's glove.

974
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: Kind of crazy nicknames, So David Schneider's nickname became Vuk

975
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: that Great, which is awesome, honoring a.

976
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 4: The man that we love and this so I remember

977
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 4: I remember one day going to watch Vince Vukevich played

978
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 4: for the University of Delaware.

979
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 5: He was a hell of a hitter.

980
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 4: Good little hitter centerfield, that goat went and got everything.

981
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 4: And I went up to Ryder University and watched Vince

982
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 4: play center field for the University of Delaware. And the

983
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 4: catcher that day was John Schneider, who is the manager

984
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 4: now in Toronto Blue Jays.

985
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,040
