Speaker 5: Very bright guy, smart guy.

22
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. The Phillies win on Tuesday night, they

Speaker 2: beat the Rockies seven to for they won Monday night

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: in the series opener, So the Phillies are trying to

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: sweep the Rockies on Wednesday night. Right, It's a three

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: games series, four game series.

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: My bad.

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: You know, as soon as I said that, I said,

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 2: it's a four game series.

30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 4: You guys are with in the morning, man, I get.

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: It exactly, So I apologize for that. But if you

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: recall Ruben Steaks Tradamis, Jim Salisbury said on Monday, the

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: Phillies by midweek would be in first place in the

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: National Leagues.

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: Nobody understands baseball better than James south Steak Steaks.

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: I spent all night coming up with that one.

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 6: Jim, He's he knows his he knows his stuff. And

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 6: it's clear that if if you're not listening to this podcasts,

39
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 6: you're missing out on some brilliants.

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: It's a simple, pretty simple.

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 5: It's just this is just proving the point I should

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: have Ben Rubens assistant GM.

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: But a great point. But I didn't have a scouting

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: area for him.

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Good.

46
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 5: But I actually, you know, I kind of love what

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 5: I'm seeing with this team right now. Okay, And you

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 5: know what I real there's seventeen and five since since

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 5: that lost in Chicago, so since the twenty sixth right

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 5: of of April seventeen and five, and I just love

51
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 5: the a lot of the at bats. I mean, they

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: they're not overswinging, and it's very tempting to go into

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 5: course field and overswing and I just see all the

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 5: swings are in control. They're you know, happy to take

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 5: their base head, happy to take their double, not looking

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: to murder everything and coming out of their shoes and

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 5: over swinging, uh and then chasing and a lot of

58
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 5: the things that plagued them in the month of October,

59
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 5: and they try to do too much. So I mean,

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 5: you look at their numbers since in this seventeen and

61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 5: five stretch, all of their offensive numbers are right near

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 5: the top in Major League Baseball, and their strikeouts are

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 5: way down. Their walk grate is up, their batting averages

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: is up, their runs scored is up. They're slugging is up.

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 5: You know, Turner has been on fire. I mean, you know,

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: you're not seeing the lift and pull and power, but

67
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: you're seeing a lot of getting on base, a lot

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 5: of base hits.

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: Harper all hitting over three hundred in this stretch.

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: So I'm really liking what i'm seeing with the offense,

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 5: taking what you can get and being happy with it.

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: Stack the pennies.

73
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 5: At some point they're going to light it up with

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 5: home runs and they're going to have a week when

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 5: we all go wow with the power. But right now,

76
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 5: love the way they're scoring runs. Love the way they're

77
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: approaching their offense.

78
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of folks saying in the beginning of

79
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: the year that they ran it back, they haven't really

80
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: done much with the lineup, which I guess had not,

81
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: But as far as their approach is concerned, what they've

82
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: done this is sort of the maturation of what's happened

83
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: from the beginning of the season. They weren't slugging, but

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: they were putting the ball in play. They were not

85
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: striking out a lot. Their swing decisions were good, and

86
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: they've improved and now you're seeing more consistent hard contact.

87
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: You're seeing quality at bats with men in scoring position,

88
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: which you weren't seeing before, and that was a concern

89
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: for a little while. They're putting it all together and

90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a development of the thought

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: process that I think a lot of them have decided.

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: You know what, we need to make some changes, and

93
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: we're making them, and they're now coming to fruition in

94
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: a really mature way. It's almost like watching like a

95
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: young player develop into a major leaguer, and I see

96
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: that sort of development with their overall process.

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 5: One thing that kind of strikes me is we talked

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 5: lot over the winter about you know, you said, you know,

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 5: running it back in additions and whatever they need to do.

100
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 5: That the biggest improvement that could come from this lineup

101
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: is not necessarily what you bring in from the outside.

102
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 5: It's the improvement of Stott and Turner, and I think

103
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: both have improved well.

104
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: But we have Bobby Dickerson on just on Friday. If

105
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: you guys have not listened to the Bobby Dickerson episode

106
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: that was that was great. Had a lot of a

107
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: lot of people telling us how how much they enjoyed that.

108
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: But even Bobby Dickerson was talking about infield play and

109
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: how Trey Turner he believes is still kind of working

110
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: through some things. It can still get better. So you

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: know it, the same thing can happen offensively, you know,

112
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: with all these guys, So you guys are constantly and

113
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: it can happen.

114
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: Caught Kyle Warber's for a good example, just because he's

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: you know, he's changed his whole mindset. And I think

116
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: when you have a leader in the clubhouse that changes

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: his overall approach to doing things, then you know it clicks.

118
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: Like if you know Garren Dalton all of a sudden

119
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: or Chase Up or someone like that, we're making like

120
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: a paradigm shift in there in their overall approach and

121
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: it had success. Then it's easy as a player to go, hey,

122
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: maybe maybe there's something to take away from this.

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 5: It's a great point when one of your big dogs

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 5: is doing it. If he can do it, I can

125
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 5: do it, you know.

126
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: So Monday Tuesday morning, I tweet out that the Phillies

127
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: have the best record or to have taken on first

128
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: place in the National League East, which they have. They've

129
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: now got a game and a half lead over the Mets.

130
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: They have the best record in the National League. They

131
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: have the second best record in baseball. And of course

132
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: what was the first response, Who have they played recently?

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: You got one of those you know.

134
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: The team, the team, the only team you can play

135
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: that day? Won't beat him.

136
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: Up exactly right, don't you know? I would say, don't

137
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: be one of those people that says, who have they

138
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: played like recently? Right, you can only play who you played.

139
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: Who's on the schedule. You know right now that the

140
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: Phillies are eighteen and three against teams with the losing records.

141
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: They're two games under five hundred, they're thirteen to fifteen

142
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: against teams with losing records, are a winning records. But

143
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: you know they're playing their best baseball right now. If

144
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: a feeling if they played some of these other teams,

145
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: they would be faring fairly well against them.

146
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: So the residual effect of playing well against those teams

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: is that when you get to play those other teams

148
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: that are better, you're feeling better about yourself. You're in rhythm.

149
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't.

150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: You know.

151
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: Their pitching has been ridiculous. Their starting pitching has just

152
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: been off the charts. So we're talking about offense, but

153
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: to me, it's really about the starting pitching that's giving

154
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: them a chance to win every night, which is first

155
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: and foremost in my heart and always will be till

156
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: the day I die. That if you have the quality

157
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: starting pitching, you got a chance to win every single day.

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: And that's exactly what's happening too.

159
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: Let's talk about hayzus Lozardo. Hazus Lozardo with another great

160
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: effort on Tuesday Night. Six innings, one run, ten strikeouts.

161
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: He's the third Phillies pitcher with no losses ERA under

162
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: two in his first ten games started since well, one

163
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: of only three pitchers in Philly's history Rangers Suarez in

164
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four in Grover, Cleveland, Alexander nineteen thirteen.

165
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 4: Uh.

166
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: Paul Cassell at MLB dot Com found that he is

167
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: first pitcher second pitcher to have zero losses ERI under

168
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: two and ten strikeouts per nine innings. The other is

169
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: Randy Johnson in nineteen ninety five. That's first ten starts

170
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: of his season. So, I mean he's in, he's he's

171
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: having an unbelievable, unbelievable run right now.

172
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: Love watching him.

173
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: Man. He Uh, he's got the power to go upstairs,

174
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: but he needs to. But he's got a lot of

175
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 5: picture in him too. He likes to work that lower quadrant.

176
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 5: Uh what uh Tuesday night or Wednesday night. And when

177
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 5: he pitched in Colorado, great change up. I thought he

178
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 5: had a really good change up and then that you

179
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 5: know that modified slider sweeper dropped down wrangle and it's

180
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: almost back footage. It's it's uh, you know that down

181
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: on the zone is a really good pitch too. Seems

182
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 5: like it's been a great acquisition so far. It kind

183
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 5: of reminds me of the role that Ranger was on

184
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 5: early last last season. So he got a nice demeanor

185
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 5: about him too, very business like. Seems to really enjoy

186
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 5: being affiliate. I mean, why wouldn't you go from you know,

187
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: banging around in that empty stadium in Miami to an

188
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 5: electric place like this to a team that's got a

189
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 5: chance to win. It's got to really brighten everything about

190
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,479
Speaker 5: your game.

191
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: When you add one fifth twenty percent of your rotation

192
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: is I think about this as like an NBA team.

193
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: You have one sort of superstar that's added to your team,

194
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: then you become a really good team. And that's exactly

195
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 3: what you're seeing with the.

196
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: Guy like Rizzardo.

197
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: He has taken to whatever Caleb Cotham's added to the

198
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: program for him, his overall maturation and his health because

199
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: that's been important. Hopefully he'll continue to be healthy. But

200
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: although things and being in a winning atmosphere and an

201
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 3: expectation to win I think all those things can change

202
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: your ability to post up every day and to challenge yourself,

203
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: and he certainly has done that.

204
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: I love the way he goes about it. I like

205
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: the emotion. He's got some emotion in there too.

206
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: You know, he's got some passion and some giddy up

207
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: in his in his emotion, and I like that as well.

208
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: I think he's fitting extraordinarily well.

209
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: And he's again, you know, another all star level pitcher

210
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: right now, and hopefully he can carry it through the season.

211
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: And he pushed them to go out for that extra

212
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 5: inning last night, which helped your bullpen. But it also

213
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 5: shows he's got something in his belly. You know, No,

214
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 5: I'm not done at ninety four pitches. I'm gonna give

215
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: you another one. And he went out because he had

216
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 5: he ran a high pitch count in the middle innings,

217
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 5: and then they give him that one more. And I'm

218
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 5: sure Rob and Kayleb was sitting there saying, well, if

219
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: he has an eighteen or twenty four pitch inning, now

220
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: we're gonna go get him.

221
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: Now pitch count is up. He goes out there eleven

222
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: pitch inning, Thank you, good night, great job.

223
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a lot of guys talk about how

224
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: competitive he is. It's a vibe that he seems to

225
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: give love. Guys. It is time for the arena club

226
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: player spotlight guys. You know, if we're going to talk

227
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: about a player, spotlight a player. I think this week

228
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: in Colorado, we've got to talk about Kyle Schwarber. His

229
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: three hundredth career home run on Monday night in Colorado,

230
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: and that wasn't a cheapie, a mighty ridiculous hits. His

231
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: three hundredth career home run goes four hundred and sixty

232
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: six feet. It's the longest least. It's the third longest

233
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: home run in Major League Baseball this season. Mike Trout

234
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: hit one four hundred and eighty four feet. Aaron Judge

235
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: snuck one past Kyle at four hundred and sixty eight feet.

236
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: It's the ninth longest homer of Kyle Schwarber's career, which

237
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: is crazy. He's hit eight longer. Can you guys remember

238
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: the longest home run he's ever hit. It came into

239
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: Phillies uniform.

240
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 4: I think it was against you, Darvish.

241
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, oh, yes, you Darvish for San Diego in

242
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: San Diego, YEP game one of the twenty twenty two NLCS,

243
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber crushes a ball off you Darvish four hundred

244
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 2: and eighty eight feet into the second deck at Pecko Park,

245
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: and I remember the moment it happened. I said, Holy crap,

246
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: he hit that ball far. And then Aj Cassavel covers

247
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: the padres for us at MLB dot Com goes, I've

248
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: never seen anybody hit a ball that far in batting

249
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: practice before, liket What And then a couple of the

250
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: other writers local San Diego rays go, Yeah, he's right,

251
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: I've never seen I've never seen anybody, even in BP

252
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: hit one into the second deck.

253
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: Ever, I'm telling you he's the modern day Babe Ruth Man.

254
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I keep saying it, and I honestly believe it.

255
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: When I see him hitting the baseball the way he does,

256
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: it's insane.

257
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: His swing is a lot shorter than Babe Ruth.

258
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 5: It's like a high compression It's like a high compression engine.

259
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just here to hear, and he.

260
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: Gets so much in that little acceleration and so much

261
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: bat hands, bat headspeed and just his swing. He always

262
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: is under control with that swing. You never see him

263
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: get out of control with that swing. And he's such

264
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 5: a strong man. He's got such great hands. He can

265
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: whip that bat and uh boom. I mean, he's fun

266
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 5: to work with.

267
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 4: Wade Bobs used to talk about the batpath A to A.

268
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: To B, which is going to getting it in the zone,

269
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: B two C, which is in the zone, and then

270
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: C to D when you finish him. From B to

271
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: D is insane and B two C it's insane how

272
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: quickly it gets through the zone and how powerfully it does.

273
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: And what he's done is he's sort of lengthened out

274
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: his B two C so that he's given himself even

275
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: more opportunities to make solid contact, which is what Wade

276
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 3: Boggs did as well as anybody, Tony Gwynn, all those guys.

277
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 3: But he's starting to do that with power, yeah, and consistency,

278
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: and the fact that he's doing it against left handers

279
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: at that rate, he's maybe the best.

280
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 4: Left handed power hitter in the history against lefties.

281
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: Think about that for a second, one of the better,

282
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: especially in the modern day. What he's done against left

283
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: handers right now is just it's immeasurable.

284
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: Really really really fantastic so.

285
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: Then he hits one. Of course on Tuesday, so he's

286
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: got three oh one. But after Monday night's game, he said,

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: it's a cool milestone. I think the biggest thing is

288
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot more to come. So you immediately start thinking.

289
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: First of all, he started thinking, they got to resign

290
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: this guy, right, But then second you go, if they

291
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: resign him, could he hit five hundred home runs in

292
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: the Phillies uniform? I mean, so's a he's averaged right now,

293
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: He's on pace to hit like well over fifty. But

294
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: say he slows down season he finishes with forty five,

295
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: he will have averaged about forty four home runs over

296
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: the last four seasons with the Phillies. If he stays

297
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: on that pace, he'd hit five hundred by the end

298
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: of the twenty nine season, and they'd say he averages

299
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: thirty five home runs over the next several years. He

300
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: would hit it by hit five hundred by the end

301
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: of the thirty thirty three seasons. So do we think

302
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: he can get to five hundred?

303
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 5: Yes, and I think he can do it, and I

304
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 5: think they're going to resign him.

305
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: And the question becomes, he might you could go to

306
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: the Hall of fame.

307
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 5: Look at the guy's postseason resid He goes to the

308
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 5: postseason every year he's had. You know, he's won a

309
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: World Series. I mean, they win one here and he's

310
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 5: the man.

311
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: He's going to get some Hall of Fame votes, no

312
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: question about it, especially if he continues to improve, like

313
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: his overall approach has been so so much better since

314
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty two season. From twenty to twenty three

315
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: to twenty four, he made adjustments. I mean he's made

316
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: adjustments and he's gotten just as he's matured, he's gotten

317
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: better and he's just a strong, powerful guy if his

318
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: lower half stays strong, because his lower half right now

319
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: is as healthy as he's been in a long time.

320
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: His knee, his hips, whatever he had going on in

321
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: a couple of different years. The fact that he can

322
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: DH and not have to go to the outfield unless

323
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: you know, you know, Topper throws him out there, want

324
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 3: to throw.

325
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: Him a bone.

326
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: But but if he can he can do this for

327
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: a long time, there's no stop in the DH. So

328
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, Scot sort of the sky's the limit, man. Obviously,

329
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: he has to stay healthy and especially his lower half.

330
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: We saw what happened to Ryan Howard when his lower

331
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: half was gone.

332
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: He really struggled. But again, you can't bank on a

333
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: guy blown out.

334
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: So as health is number one for any player. Of course,

335
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 5: we saw Roy Halliday, the great Roy Halliday, you know

336
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 5: he broke, he broke. We saw Ryan Howard, he broke.

337
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you have to stay healthy, your your you know,

338
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 5: your body is your money maker. If you if something

339
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 5: goes awry, you're screwed. And that's the the risk to

340
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 5: take with contracts for guys in the thirties.

341
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: But this guy is.

342
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 5: A uh, this guy is a producer. He has become

343
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 5: a great Philly and you know, you're in a ballpark

344
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 5: where power matters. He's at a position that you know,

345
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: if he does stay healthy, he can you know, keep

346
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 5: keep doing a good job there. It's not like he's

347
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 5: pounding his body in the outfield every night. And we

348
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 5: think with that bat speed he can hold up for

349
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 5: a long time. So I I think, you know, in

350
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 5: terms of the risk of a contract, I think it's

351
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: a sound risk that you're going to have to hang

352
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: on to this guy.

353
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 4: Five go get him.

354
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: I can see that.

355
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be a good number. That would be a

356
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: good number.

357
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: You just do it tomorrow, just get it over with.

358
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not our money, it's not my money, exactly right,

359
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: let's do it.

360
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: Let's do it all right. So so now let's check

361
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: out the Arena Club. Let's check out the slab pack

362
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: we ripped from our friends at Arena Club. Let's see

363
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: who we got. So there you go. If you're watching

364
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: on YouTube, you can see us opening up this virtual pack.

365
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: You can get a little slab packed boom. That is

366
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: an Aiden Miller. Oh no way, twenty twenty four Bowman

367
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: Chrome eight and Miller. Guys, I want to mention this

368
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: get out a little slow in Double A, right, but

369
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: guess what, Miller, he's heating up. So he had a

370
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: six to ten ops in his first twenty seven games.

371
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: He's one of the youngest players in Redding right now

372
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: in Double A, I should say years old yet yeah

373
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: he's I think he's twenty twenty one off the top

374
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: of my head. So here high school right, Yeah, he's

375
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: a couple of years. So last six games, not including

376
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, he's betting three eighty one one home run

377
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: one RBI one point zero seven seven ops. So Aiden

378
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: Miller might be starting to heat up a little bit,

379
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: which is sweet cart great news for the Phillies card.

380
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: And you know the kids from Flora.

381
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 5: You come up here to eastern Pennsylvania and you've got

382
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 5: three weeks of cold and mud.

383
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not worried about it. I mean, he's

384
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: he's you know now the weather.

385
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 5: That big orange orb in the sky is starting to

386
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 5: warm everything up.

387
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: We'll get going.

388
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 4: He will.

389
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 3: His body, his body's awesome. I got a chance to

390
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: see him in that. I guess it's not called the

391
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: futures game, like a prospect game, the spring breakout game,

392
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 3: spring breakout game against the Pirates, I think it was.

393
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure either Pirates or Detroit one or the other.

394
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 3: Anyway, the point of the matter is that I saw

395
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: him do some things and make some plays and move

396
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: his body in a way at shortstop, and that's in

397
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: a mature body who and I haven't got a chance

398
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 3: to see him play a lot, but you was he exciting.

399
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 4: He's a good exciting Todd like.

400
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: Todd likes him because he's a Packers fan.

401
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: I do like him because he's a Packers fan. Little

402
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: bonus for me, bonus.

403
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: I hope they don't trade him at the deadline.

404
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: No, oh yeah, well I'm gonna yeah, so we we

405
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: have to talk about that.

406
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: I'm asking a question about the cards, like you print

407
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 5: those out?

408
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: No, no, no, these are so you bought you go to

409
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: Arena Club. You can get a slab pack. They're great

410
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: pregraded cards. They're in like the the plastic sleeve, I guess.

411
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: And you buy your pack. You can open them up

412
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: virtually and then you can actually get the physical cards

413
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: if you want them. You can trade them. You can

414
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: get them. So for instance, say we got an Aiden

415
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: Miller card right, and say you wanted to but let's

416
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: say it was a Wan Soto card in your diehard

Speaker 2: Phillies fan and you're like, I cannot have this man

418

Speaker 2: in my collection. I do not want to want soda card.

419
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,399

Speaker 2: you can get the actual physical card. You know, there's

425
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: a lot of different options.

Speaker 5: I used to, as they say, down rip packs all

432
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 5: the time. I used to go to the village pharmacy

433
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 5: and buy a pack like three a week, and then

434
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 5: and and the cards. I used to put my spokes

Speaker 5: and I used to lose and I used to leave

436
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:46,680

452
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: for perform enhancing band Substance and Mark Finesand from MLB

453
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: dot com on Monday. Late Monday rhatist story saying that

454
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: the Phillies had reached out to free agent relief pitcher

455
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: David Robertson. Talks were not serious. I think it sounded

456
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: like to me it was more of a just a

457
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: checking in type of situation. Hey are you throwing that?

458
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 2: Whatever it might be. But I wanted to get your

459
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 2: guys opinion that because the Phillies were already probably going

460
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: to get a reliever, right, we all agreed. We said

461
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: this on Monday's episode before the July thirty first trade downline,

462
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 2: they're probably already going to get another try to get

463
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: another high leverage reliever. Probably now they lose Jose Alvarado,

464
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: maybe now they feel like they need to get two.

465
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: That's a lot of potential prospect capital they might have

466
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: to get to trade to get too high leverage relievers.

467
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: Unless unless you like David Robertson and maybe sign him

468
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: as a free agent contract. Do you guys have any

469
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 2: interest in that David Robertson, Maybe, especially if you still

470
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: feel like you need to get two guys save another

471
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: couple prospects in the process.

472
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: I mean, to me, that's it's prudent.

473
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: You know, if we went out and got Pedro Martinez,

474
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 3: maybe that's a little bit different. And when we did

475
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: the same sort of thing when we were struggling on

476
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 3: our rotation and Jamie Moyer was struggling and in particular,

477
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: and I was like, man, we need another arm here,

478
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: and we don't.

479
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: Have a whole lot of prospects to trade.

480
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: At that point, I think it was twenty ten, if

481
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken. Maybe it was two thousand and ninth, Sorry,

482
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: thousand and nine, two thousand and nine, and we picked

483
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: up because Pedro pitched in that World Series. But yeah,

484
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 3: I mean we ended up getting Cliff Ley and Pedro

485
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 3: Martinez to add to our rotation. We got Pedro basically

486
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: off the shelf, and that was helpful because we didn't

487
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 3: have to pay anything for him except this salary. And

488
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 3: you know, listen, anytime you can get a veteran guy,

489
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 3: I talk about this all the time. If it's a

490
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: veteran guy who's been through the wars. Maybe he can

491
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: help you, maybe he can't. Maybe worth the experiment, why not?

492
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 3: What's the what's the downside?

493
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 5: And I'd like to see the list, the complete list

494
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: of guys they've called, because I'm sure it's not just

495
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: one guy and not just Core. You know, you're reaching

496
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: out to you have a huge front office. They're touching

497
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 5: base with everybody. I'm sure they're looking at the Mexican League, Asia,

498
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 5: everywhere and uh, you know, minor league guys with outs.

499
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 5: We're coming up to June. Guys are gonna have outs.

500
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 5: They're exploring everything. They just signed a couple of guys

501
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 5: to minor league contracts coming off injuries.

502
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: One of them can pitch it reading, so.

503
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 3: And they've gotta be thinking left handed too, you know,

504
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: thinking about from the left side as well, because now

505
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 3: they have Banks and strom Stroms from pitching better.

506
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 4: Banks throws. Okay, he's a serviceable.

507
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: Left hander, but he's he's not necessarily a guy that

508
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 3: you can lock down against a lefty on lefty in

509
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: a certain situation to get the last out.

510
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: I mean, do you have.

511
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: Him face Juan Soto in a in a tight situation

512
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: to get an out. I'm that this a little scary

513
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: for me. I like Banks because I think he's he

514
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 3: provides them with some depth. But you sort of need

515
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 3: a lefty to get a lefty out, I think, and

516
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: they or or a right hander with a nasty split

517
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 3: or something like that.

518
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 4: Maybe it could be and it could be him.

519
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: He's got a you know, Taiwan's been through the Wars.

520
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 5: We talk a lot about relievers, and you know, young

521
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 5: relievers have stuff. Could he really well, you know, you

522
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 5: got to get beat up a little bit, get your

523
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 5: nose bloodied a little bit, and have that you know,

524
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 5: kind of barbed wire exterior to make it in pressure

525
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 5: packed situations as a reliever. Taiwan's been through the Wars,

526
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 5: has been through a lot. Maybe he could handle, you know,

527
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 5: some of those assignments because he has and he's if

528
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: if his stuff plays, I'm still concerned about the stuff.

529
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 5: He's got to have that tick on the fastball, got

530
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 5: to have that good split. But you know, in terms

531
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 5: of filling this, I'm all for just looking what you

532
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 5: got right now before making a decision on a trade

533
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 5: and having to lose a player, because I would love

534
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 5: to hang on to this prospect, Core, I really would.

535
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 5: I'm very excited about it and intrigued by it. And

536
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 5: I think because you have an aging big league roster,

537
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 5: you're gonna need to funnel these guys in here soon.

538
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm not in a hurry to you know, Mickabel is

539
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: a great star. Let's let's trade him for a leverage guy.

540
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 5: How about maybe mckabel comes and helps us at some

541
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 5: point win twenty somedays.

542
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 7: So mckabel Painter, mckabel Painter, Aden Miller, Cross, Rune Escobar.

543
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 7: Who's going nuts right now? I mean, these are old

544
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 7: guys that.

545
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: You love to have them hang out and continue to develop,

546
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 3: to develop more depth in your system, because you're right,

547
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 3: there's going to be a transition at some point, especially

548
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 3: this year. At the end of this year. Who knows

549
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: whether they can finish it off and win the World

550
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 3: Series this year. But afterwards then what I think you

551
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 3: have to make sure that you maintain some real talent

552
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: in your system so that you can sustain for a while.

553
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: So hang with us for a second. When we come back,

554

00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,439

557
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 8: very complicated and used a lot of mail that was unnecessary.

558
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,040

582
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty five nineteen twenty eight, they weren't necessarily great

583
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 2: years for the Yankees. You can imagine the Yankees and

584
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: where they were. The Phillies were on the other side

585
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: of that, and the on the other end of it,

586
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: they were getting pulverized. But in nineteen twenty eight Hall

587
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: of Famer Chuck Klin debuted with the Phillies. They went

588
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: forty three and one hundred and nine that year. Chuck,

589
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw a little trivia question at you, guys.

590
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: Chuck Klin is one of six players to hit his

591
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: three hundredth career home run with the Phillies. We know

592
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber just did it on Monday night. So we

593
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: got Kyle Schwarber, We've got Chuck Klein. Can you name

594
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: the four other Phillies players who hit their three hundredth

595
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: career home run with the Phillies. Schmidty Mike Schmidt correct,

596
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 2: Howard Howard correct, that's two. Uh, there's one really hard one.

597
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: I have a feeling it's gonna stump you guys.

598
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: Wes Elms.

599
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: Uh, three hundred, Jim Tomy did not hit three. They

600
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 4: hit four hundred with that.

601
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: I remember that night well.

602
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 4: Correct? Did Bobby Bray who ever hit three hundred home runs?

603
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: Not with the Phillies. If he did, he didn't do

604
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: it with the Phillies. One guy's very recent fellows, Bryce,

605
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper yea. And the last one, I'll give you

606
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: guys like ten percent him him. I'll give you the

607
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: initials because I don't even know if he could get

608
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: the initials. Are r s.

609
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: Rico slave.

610
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 2: He might have been. This guy might have been the

611
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: Rico slave of the Phillies. I don't even know when

612
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: this guy played. I gotta I'm kind of ear I

613
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: proud myself on my uh what era?

614
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: That was his big team? What was this kind of significant?

615
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: Actually his big team was the was the the Washington Senators,

616
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: the Saint Louis Browns. He played most of his.

617
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 5: I know, I know, I know, I know who it's

618

00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: Stop it, you knock off on you, because I I

620
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: know Royce Dallas Green.

621
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 5: Dallas Green once told me a great Roy Severs story,
