Speaker 3: I will break it out every once in a while

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: and they can actually finish the jingle from some crazy

41
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: old car ad from the eighties in Wisconsin's old school

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: I'm reading, I'm destroying my kids, Oh my gosh. But

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: I hope everybody's doing well. Phillies, Phillies are doing well.

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: Phillies swept the Rangers this weekend in Texas. They opened

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 3: that we you know, we've got together on Friday, big

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: ten game road trip start in Texas. Texas is playing well.

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: They're going for a wild card. The Phillies sweep the Rangers.

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: Now and guess what happened up in Milwaukee where I

49
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: was just talking about the Brewers. The Brewers swept the Mets.

50
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: So now the Phillies have a five and a half

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: game lead over the Mets in the National LEAGUEESE. So

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: it's really just a perfect, perfect weekend for the Phillies.

53
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: Friday night it was kind of like the Brandon marshow.

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: He had four hits.

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: Sadaturday, the bottom of the lineup came through against Jacob

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: de Gram who is who is dealing for like the

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: first five six innings. And then Sunday, Harrison Bader makes

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: this ridiculous catch, home run saving catch at the wall

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: in center field. Zach Wheeler grinds it out. So just

60
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: a really just a really great weekend for the fight

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: and Phils and.

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: The crew man, the crew the crew crew man. They

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 4: got some chemistry and their manager is they're playing for

64
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: that guy. He was probably gonna be the manager of

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: the year. They're you know, they just play together and

66
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: they play right, and they just they have something. They're

67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: on a roll, and once you start winning, it becomes

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: wildfire and your confidence crews and they're like like the

69
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: Mets were last year. They're like the latest example of

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: what happens when you build a big head of steam

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: and a lot of momentum and get good pitching.

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 5: Well, they got good pitching, but they also played the game.

73
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: As you mentioned in Jim, they played the game right.

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 5: They run the base as well, they catch the baseball

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 5: very well. They do a lot of things that are

76
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: baseball ly fundamentally, and I think that any team that

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 5: has strong fundamentals can actually outplay teams with more talent. No,

78
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: I believe that in my art. If you continue to

79
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: do that, you can put yourself in contention. I challenge

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 5: the gms in baseball to go back to the fundamentals

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 5: to try to win games, because if they teach the

82
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 5: fundamentals properly and bring them through their system properly to

83
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 5: do it, they have a chance to really impact their

84
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 5: major league team to the point where they could be

85
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 5: contenders every year without having the level of talent necessary.

86
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 5: The Pirates, those teams, Tampa Bay, that's the reason why

87
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 5: they've been contending for a long times.

88
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: They play the game right generally. You know, Cleveland Indians.

89
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: All those teams that play the game properly and play

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 5: it fundamentally well, they can win.

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy, I love what he says, He's like, I

92
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: don't know how we're doing it. I don't nobody knows

93
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: who we are, but I don't even know how we're

94
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: doing it. But we're doing it. They get the best

95
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: record in baseball. But uh, let's let's start Parks Pitch.

96
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: We got to talk about Zach Wheeler and what we

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: thought about him yesterday. First Pitch is brought to us

98
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: exclusively by our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. So,

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: Zach Wheeler, I think, Jim you said it on Friday.

100
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: This is the most important start, maybe by any Phillies

101
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: pitcher this season. Zach Wheeler start on Sunday because he

102
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: got pushed back a couple of days because of the

103
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: sort instance right shoulder. We know how he's pitched his

104
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: last three four starts before that, he's he hasn't been

105
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 3: Zach Wheeler. And then he goes out on Sunday against

106
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: the Rangers. In the win five innings, three hits, two runs,

107
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 3: three walks, seven strikeouts, gives up a home run eighty

108
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: three pitches in five innings. The VLO is down the

109
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: four seamers down two mile an hour from the season average.

110
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: Sinker was down two and a half miles an hour

111
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: from the season average. After the game, though, he says,

112
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: I'm not worried it's gonna come back. It's been following

113
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: baseball at all. If you know baseball at all, this

114
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: stuff happens over the course of the season. So are

115
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: you kind of buying what Zach is saying? What do

116
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: you guys think of Zach Zach's performance on Sunday?

117
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 4: Well, first thing I'd like to say is, you know,

118
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 4: hat tip to Zach. I mean, massive amount of respect

119
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: for the way he grinded through that outing when he

120
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: clearly didn't look like Zach Wheeler. With the Vlo down,

121
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 4: he was pulling his fastball again. So I mean, it's

122
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: just I don't know, Ruben might be better, but it

123
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: just feels like when you're pulling your fastball, you're not

124
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: getting that good finish. You're not getting out there and

125
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 4: getting that good finish. Maybe something in the shoulders causing that,

126
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: causing him not to get that good finish, I don't know.

127
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: Then you could see his style of pitching change a

128
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: little bit more sweeper, change up, getting away from the

129
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: power stuff. Because the Viela was down and obviously he's

130
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: having trouble locating it, so I expect that he grind

131
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: grinded through it and got him, you know, the five innings,

132
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: but ran a lot of high pitch counts and a

133
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: lot of three zero counts. Just didn't look like Zach.

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: So I'm concerned until he looks like Zach again. But

135
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: I'm kind of glad he was. I'm glad he was

136
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: able to take the ball. But you know, I don't

137
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: something's going on. But he's so talented he can he

138
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: can grind through it. But five innings is not Zach Wheeler.

139
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: He's he's old school. He wants to pitch seven seven

140
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: plus take the ball thirty three times, and something's cooking there.

141
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 5: Reuben, Right, Yeah, I mean, he wasn't himself, There's no

142
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: question about it. I don't know whether it was the

143
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 5: time off, whether it's the shoulder, whether it's a combination

144
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: of those things, whether it's a dead arm period that

145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 5: he's going through, and often you know, pitchers go through this.

146
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 5: Hopefully he can bounce back and be you know, get

147
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: that ninety seven and with life ninety six, ninety seven,

148
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: with life, he did not have that, but he made

149
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: the adjustments he needed to make to get enough outs

150
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: to put the Phillies in a position to win the game,

151
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 5: which is noble. You could see that. You know, his

152
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: pitch arsenal is totally different. You know, he's one of

153
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 5: those pitchers that pitches with his fastball, whether it's four

154
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 5: seam or a sinker, and his sinker hasn't been working

155
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 5: all that well. Used very few sinkers. I think it

156
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: was like nine percent. He typically is like seventeen percent sinkers.

157
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 5: And he used his split, so his split became the

158
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 5: pitch for the swing and miss, even to right handers.

159
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 5: He was throwing it, and that was interesting to see

160
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: watch him just sort of work his way through it,

161
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: knowing that he didn't have the good fastball, knowing didn't

162
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 5: have the good fastball command, but mixed in the breaking

163
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 5: ball and the split to be able.

164
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: To get outs.

165
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 5: Pretty impressive, and Bader kind of bailed him out with

166
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: a It was a home run that you know, Corey

167
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 5: Seeger had hit, and Bader bailed him out with some

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 5: great defense. There were some great defense all around in

169
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 5: that game. Pretty impressive, but a nice job by Zach

170
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: getting through it.

171
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: The real big question is how's.

172
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: He feel today, meaning Monday, later on this afternoon when

173
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 5: he checks in and obviously feeling his next start, and

174
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 5: we'll see whether he starts to ramp up a little

175
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: bit from that dead arm.

176
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: I mean the fact that you know, he talked to

178
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: you the other day, Rubin, and he said, listen, I'm

179
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: not concerned about it. You know, you kind of you

180
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: take him at his word. And Zach, he is somebody

181
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: who now I think it was two starts ago he

182
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: pushed Rob Thompson to go back out there and pitch that.

183
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: I think it was the seventh inning, right, But there

184
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: have been several instances over the last four or five

185
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: years where if Zach does not feel like he has it,

186
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: he has been honest with Rob Thompson said, you know,

187
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: I'm kind of you kind of want to probably get

188
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: somebody up here to pitch the eighth or you probably

189
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: want to get some up there to pitch the seventh.

190
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 3: He will, He'll be pretty honest with Rob. Uh if

191
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: he's not feeling it. So the fact that he's out

192
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: there pitching and making the start, I kind of, you know,

193
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: I guess I give him the benefit of the doubt

194
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: that maybe this is just a dead, dead arm period.

195
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, I want to see how he feels today Monday.

196
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: I want to see how he looks in his next start,

197
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: and uh, you just got to keep watching him, make

198
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: sure he make sure he comes back healthy. But I mean,

199
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: the six man rotation certainly feels inevitable at this point.

200
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: So the Phillies, they play three, They're off on Thursday,

201
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: right they or no, they play on Thursday.

202
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: Play on Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

203
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so they have through Yeah, they have a

204
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: big run of games coming up here. So the six

205
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: man rotation, Uh, certainly the next few weeks could come

206
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: into play at some point. I don't know if it's

207
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: going to be in this current run of games, but

208
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: they have a run of games coming in the next week.

209
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 4: What's you guys biggest concern the lack of I mean

210
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: the decline in villa or the the decline in great

211
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: location both.

212
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Jimmy, you're right like cutting off the

213
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: fat you said mentioned the cutting up the fastball.

214
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: So maybe, yeah, it's.

215
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: Like when you feel that just a little at the.

216
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 5: End, you're right on it, jim And then he used

217
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 5: to write on it when he's not able to finish.

218
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 5: When he's not get that extension, that's when he gets

219
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 5: finished on the pitches. He's not getting the same sort

220
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 5: of pit finish, So that writing fastball that you see

221
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 5: sometimes even if he throws in ninety five, it has

222
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: life to it when he's right and you can get

223
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 5: guys to swing and miss at it.

224
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: Right now, it's not really happening.

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: And the change in style of pitching yesterday you could

226
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: see it was to me an admission by him that

227
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: he's not right right. It's just it's a concern for

228
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: me because I think he's indispensable. I think he's great,

229
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: and I think you need him to get where you

230
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: want to go.

231
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, there, Aaron, they do have you know, Aaron Nola

232
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: is making a his probably his final rehab start on Tuesday,

233
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: so he could rejoin the rotation as early as Sunday

234
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: in DC. And for what it's worth, Andrew Painter pitch

235
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: on Sunday and Triple A, and he did not pitch

236
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: particularly well, least by the number line four and a

237
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 3: third innings, nine hits, seven in runs. He now has

238
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: a five four to two ERA and six to give

239
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: up two home runs as well. Yeah, two walks, two

240
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: home runs, six strikeouts. So Andrew Painter's not really forcing

241
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: the issue here in terms of in terms of a

242
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: promotion so well.

243
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 4: I mean they say adversity can lead to growth. I

244
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: guess he's having a growth moment down there. We'll see.

245
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,880

287
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: Week to Brandon Marsh. Just like the way he's playing.

288
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: I like the confidence he's playing with, like the energy

289
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: he's playing with, big smile on his face. He's always

290
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 4: a great teammate. You watch when he's not playing that

291
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: given night and someone who is playing does well, he always,

292
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: you know, exudes happiness for that guy. So he's a

293
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: hell of a teammate. Since you know, since May, he's

294
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: he's hitting over three hundred since the start of May,

295
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: since he came back from the minor leagues. It was

296
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: like a reset for him. He's talked about it, and

297
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: he's just playing better and better. Since the All Star break,

298
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: he's hitting three thirty nine with a one two five

299
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: ops six sixty four slugging. He's like number seven in

300
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: the majors in w RC plus one of Todd's favorite stats.

301
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: But you know, those are nice little snapshots. Says, he's

302
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 4: playing batter, he's hitting, he's producing. He's become a really solid,

303
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: uh contributor for this team, Todd.

304
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: But you got, yeah, you know, I had Brandon Marsh

305
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: written down, but I had a backup plan because I

306
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: also thought, maybe give this guy some love.

307
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: Because there's been a lot of focus on him. It's

308
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: just one week.

309
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: But this is just best manco manco best week. But

310
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: but Bryce and Stott. This past week he also batted

311
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: five hundred gym. He matched Brandon Marsian batting average. He

312
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: also went seven for fourteen at the plate, two doubles,

313
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: one triple, four RBIs five sixty three on base, seven

314
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: eighty six slug and And if you can get just

315
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: any semblance of production from Bryson Stott at the bottom

316
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: of that lineup, especially when Alec Boom comes back, if

317
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,479
Speaker 3: they platoon ed Mundo Sosa and Bryson Stott at second base.

318
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: Man that would make a difference.

319
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: You saw what you know, the bottom of that lineup

320
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: on Saturday got to Jacob de Gram And it's those

321
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: little things that can make all the difference in the

322
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: world in the postseason, you know, in a in a

323
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: Pennant drive down the stretch. So some positive signs from

324
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: Bryson Stott this past week.

325
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: Great college boys, and you stole both.

326
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Of my thunders.

327
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 5: But so I'm gonna go really really broad and say

328
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: the bottom of the lineup, I mean, the entire bottom

329
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: of the lineup, so huge We've been waiting all year

330
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: long for the Stops and the Marshes of the world

331
00:16:59,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: to step forward.

332
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: And you know, it's true that.

333
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 5: The big boys at the top of the lineup have

334
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: to get the job done for them to win.

335
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: We've talked about that a lot.

336
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 5: But anytime you have this sort of production that they're

337
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 5: getting right now over the last week or so and

338
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 5: especially this last weekend, you get the Edmundo Sosis, you know,

339
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 5: adding on, you get you know, different types of guys,

340
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 5: even Kepler, you got to give him some love. You

341
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 5: get a huge base hit against de Grom.

342
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 8: I mean that that turned that whole series around for

343
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 8: me and basically made it happen. I mean, we're all

344
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 8: ready to Jennison Max Kepler, but he gets an opportunity

345
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 8: to play for Cassianos and comes through.

346
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Great job by Thompson. I'm giving him the opportunity to

347
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: do that.

348
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna say the bottom of the lineup, great

349
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: job by those boys, and they're the best of the best.

350
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: For me.

351
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 4: Since the All Star Break, this offense has been very

352
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: very good, you know. I mean they're number one to happen. Yeah,

353
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 4: since the All Star Break, number one in the National

354
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 4: League and slugging percentage, number one in home run it's

355
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: number two in runs, number two in ops right up there,

356
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: number two and three, and a lot of the advanced metrics.

357
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 4: The offense. This has been almost a month since the

358
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: All Star break. It's there. They just you know, need

359
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 4: to put it all together. And their the lineup is

360
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: playing deeper with the contributions they're getting at the bottom.

361
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 4: And Schwarber and Harper have been good, and and Trey Turner,

362
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 4: you know, they they survived. He kind of was slumping

363
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 4: for a while. He seems to be coming back. Good

364
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 4: things are happening. I just wonder if that, you know,

365
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 4: the Durand pickup, I think it charged people up a

366
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 4: little bit.

367
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question.

368
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 5: And the interesting batter you said Harper, Harper been struggling

369
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 5: a little bit. I mean, he came up with a

370
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 5: double yesterday and driving the first run, but you know

371
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 5: his last I don't know.

372
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: I guess he hasn't been really doing a whole lot

373
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: of damage.

374
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 5: And it's nice to see them have solid offense without

375
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 5: having Harper be Harper. And once he starts rolling in,

376
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 5: look out brother.

377
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 4: And they did a lot in that game, you know,

378
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: West and Wilson, nice bass hit, didn't try to do

379
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: too much. They moved around over the bond they played.

380
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 4: I thought they played a really solid offensive series in Texas.

381
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: They really did.

382
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: So a nice segue, guys, because you talked about Brandon

383
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: Marsh it was Jimmy's Manco Manco best of the week.

384
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: Rubin had mentioned Max Kepler, and this weekend in Texas

385
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: we saw three different outfield alignments. Everybody was wondering exactly

386
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 3: what's going to happen after those first six games at

387
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: Rob Thompson said he was going to platoon Mark, Brandon

388
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: Marsh and Harrison Bader and center field. Well, Friday you

389
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: had Kepler and left, Marsh and center, Castianos and right,

390
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 3: and Saturday you had Marsh and left, Bater and center

391
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 3: and Kepler and right. Sunday he had Weston Wilson left,

392
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: Harrison Bater and center, and Nick Castianos back in midfield.

393
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: So three different outfield alignments. But to me, the most

394
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 3: interesting move out of all of them was Nick Castiano's

395
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: not playing on Saturday in right field and Rob Thompson

396
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 3: going with Max Kepler in right, and I'm wondering my

397
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: first thought was I was wondering if Rob was gonna

398
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: maybe ever do this, because he's been pretty loyal to

399
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: Nick Catstianos in terms of his playing time in right field.

400
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 3: Maybe this is we're gonna see a little bit more

401
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: of this. Maybe we're gonna see a sprinkling of Max

402
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: Kepler in right field moving forward.

403
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: Do you guys like that idea? I like it.

404
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: I think if you're trying to win the division, if

405
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: you're trying to see put your best line up on

406
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: the field, and Max Kepler is swinging the bat rubin

407
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: he had a ops over one thousand this past week,

408
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 3: Max Kepler, he could have been a Manco Manco best week.

409
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: You know, So there's.

410
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: I just like it.

411
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: I like it if Kepler swinging the bat well and

412
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: you're facing a tough righty, put Marshaan left, Kepler and

413
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 3: Wright bater and center, now as you have maybe their

414
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: best offensive outfield alignment, but you also by far have

415
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: your best defensive alignment in the outfield as well, by far.

416
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: No doubt.

417
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: And I think that's one of the reasons.

418
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 5: One of the reasons why that's happening is I just

419
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 5: think Rob Thompson is gotten to the point now, and

420
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 5: I don't know how much that's gonna happen with Castillanos,

421
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 5: but I think Rob Thomps has gotten a little bit

422
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 5: to the point with his outfield that he's gonna start

423
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 5: doing it the way he did his bullpen for many,

424
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 5: many years until you got Joan Duran there pitching in

425
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 5: the ninth where you mix and match the right guys

426
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 5: at the right time, and I think that's where what

427
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 5: he's gonna go with. I mean, he doesn't have any

428
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 5: like legit everyday players. Marsh right now with the way

429
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: he's swinging the bat is like he and he and

430
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 5: Vader me maybe guys that you can go out there

431
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 5: and say, okay, go ahead and play every single day. Possibly,

432
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 5: But I think he's just trying to maximize, you know,

433
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 5: everybody's ability and mix and match the way he can

434
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 5: and try to win baseball game, because that's what it's about.

435
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 5: I love the move. I thought it was great, and

436
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 5: the and the players responded for him. I'm not sure

437
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 5: how much Catsios would enjoy being a quote unquote platoon player.

438
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: I don't think that's gonna happen necessarily, but against a

439
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 5: tough rady, I think that's the way to go.

440
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: What's wrong with it? Nothing wrong with it at all

441
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: For me. Nothing.

442
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: I liked it too, There's nothing wrong with it. Manager

443
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: has the obligation to put the you know, the lineup

444
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 4: he thinks can prosper that night. He has an obligation

445
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: to put that on the field. Platoons can help guys

446
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 4: get hot, and then you ride the hot hand. I mean,

447
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: you know, Kepler, hats off to Kefeley. He's helped him

448
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: win two big ball games in the last in the

449
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 4: last four games, and you know, help them build a

450
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 4: five and a half game lead over the slumping Mets.

451
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: I mean, those are big performances he's given you. So

452
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 4: figure out a way to get the most out of

453
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: your players in a platoon situation. If that's the way

454
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 4: to go, then go that way. Ride the hot hand.

455
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: All about wins. It's not about the me me me,

456
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 4: I I I It's all about the ws and this

457
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 4: team is putting together something pretty good. And I like

458
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: the way the manager's employing that. That O wout feel.

459
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 4: I mean, I love to play. Harrison Bader made yet

460
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 4: say that was that was one of like the Duran

461
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: pick up has picked up everybody to play like that

462
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: picks up the whole dugout, picks up everybody. So Ruben,

463
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 4: I watch him hit and all I can think of

464
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 4: is pet and caphilia.

465
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: You're talking about Bader.

466
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, he kind of drops his hands a little bit.

467
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: Ye nails out on the fast buddy.

468
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: That's a that's a that's an interesting cop.

469
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: He obviously does have the same sort of like you body, but.

470
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: He's he's bulked up, but he's not the as big

471
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 4: a person as Pete. He doesn't have a piece of power.

472
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: But he drops his hands, he kind of stalks a

473
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 4: little early. Uh, he's it's It just kind of reminds

474
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 4: me of that when I watched it.

475
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, that's an interesting cop. The other thing, the

476
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: other thing you get out of Baier is that he's

477
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: got a little swag to him.

478
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 5: I think he's got that kind of swag that maybe

479
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 5: maybe this clubhouse needed a little bit, you know, a

480
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 5: little swag.

481
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: He's got a little bit of a strut out there,

482
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, Yeah, he's a little bit of he

483
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: has a little bit of a pet bar walk, a

484
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: little pet barol way, you know.

485
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 5: Pat kind of a little bit of an ass hat

486
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: in a positive way.

487
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: I want an ass hat in.

488
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: A positive way.

489
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: You need to be a little bit of an ass

490
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 5: blank to play well and to have some attitude to

491
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 5: play this game.

492
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: And I kind of like it.

493
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need to play with some sneer. Yeah, I

494
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 4: mean you also need to back it up. But he

495
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: does with the purple gloves and he plays with some style,

496
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 4: and I can see that being a really nice fit

497
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: in the clubhouse. I think it has. But when you

498
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: are a character and you have character, and you are

499
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 4: a character and you lighten people up and you can

500
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 4: back it up on the field, that's when you become

501
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: a special contributor, no.

502
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 2: Doubt, Yeah, no doubt about it.

503
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,959

562
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: The bullpen Joan Douran, you mentioned, gave a little bit

563
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: of it, gave some juice to this clubhouse, and I

564
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: absolutely agree with that. He guy's got a presence. He

565
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: had a presence walking in so better. I mentioned had

566
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: the Alice Cooper cut off tea going yeah, remember Joanduran

567
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: had like these really nice like black slacks on, like

568
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 3: a really nice black dress shirt, shoes. He came in.

569
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: He looked suave. He absolutely looks suave.

570
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: He looked.

571
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, this guy's This guy also has

572
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: a vibe and he brings he has a presence in

573
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: that clubhouse. He certainly has a presence in the mound.

574
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: He certainly seems to have changed the dynamic of this bullpen.

575
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: So I kind of want to close the show talking

576
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: a little bit about this. Sunday, Zach Wheeler five innings

577
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: the bullpen comes in. Four innings, four hits, no runs,

578
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 3: no walks, three strikeouts the bullpen. Everything has lately been

579
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: kind of lining up, and you look at some of

580
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 3: these numbers. Deron his first four appearances with the Phillies,

581
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: four saves for save opportunities. I think he's given up

582
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: one hit so far in those four Matt Strom since

583
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 3: June twenty ninth, one eight four ERA, Ryan Kirkering since

584
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: May Firth one six seven e RA, Tanner Banks since

585
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: June twentieth, one eight six ERA.

586
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: You take out the really bad game against the White.

587
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: Sox, Max Lazar two six three ERA, and you know

588
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 3: David robertson his back, Jose Alvarado on Sunday and Triple

589
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: A made his second rehab appearance. Vilo is ninety seven

590
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: seven on the sinker, but he could be back on

591
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: August nineteenth. So the bullpen guys also has kind of

592
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: been trending in the right direction, Like you talked about

593
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: the bottom of the lineup, Like we talked about this

594
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: offense since the All Star break.

595
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: We talk about it all the time. You get that

596
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 4: big closer and it allows everybody to slot down a notch.

597
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 4: That just saying a cliche, that's real. You slot down,

598
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: you're getting a roll and you get on a groove.

599
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

600
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 5: I mean they came into this trade deadline ranked like

601
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 5: twenty fourth or twenty fifth in baseball in almost every

602
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 5: single category in the bullpen, and you know when you

603
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 5: start breaking that down.

604
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not championship caliber. But you add that guy.

605
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: And it changes the dynamic so significantly, as Jim said,

606
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 5: and then you add Robertson at.

607
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: Alvarado to the mix. Now you're talking about a real strength.

608
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: So now you have guys.

609
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: Who are pitching who are supposed to be pitching in

610
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: the eighth or ninth are now pitching in the sixth.

611
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you're talking about having a level of depth

612
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: if everybody stays healthy as good as anybody's and it

613
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 5: went from maybe being one of the worst and the

614
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 5: bottom third of baseball too close to one of the

615
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 5: top third. And so it's a dynamic difference. It's a

616
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 5: huge get for the Phillies. Hopefully this guy continues to

617
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 5: stay healthy and do what he's doing, because if he does,

618
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 5: I mean, this team's got a chance, real chance, real

619
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 5: legitimate chance to be a World Series winner.

620
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: So much of this team seems to be coming together

621
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 4: at the right time. That's why it's so important that

622
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: that Wheels gets through this and you know, it becomes

623
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 4: it looks like Wheels again. But a lot of good

624
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 4: things are happening. A five and a half game lead, Wow,

625
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 4: it's time to take out that whip and bring it

626
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 4: down the bring it down the homes, down.

627
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: The hind quarters, bring it down on the high quarter.

628
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 4: Bring it down down Tom whip. That put the Mets

629
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: right in the room. Put the Mets in the rear

630
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 4: view mirror. Now pedal to the.

631
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: Metal devo that stuff right.

632
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

633
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: I want to mention also, like we're talking about tough.

634
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 3: Last episode, we were talking about tough decisions that might

635
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: need to be made in the bullpen. I just want

636
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: to mention this, and it's been all these have all

637
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: been low leverage situations. But in his last eight appearances

638
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 3: as well, Jordan Romano two seven zero era who we

639
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: talk about how what what may check out with a bullpen.

640
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 3: So even Jordan Romano and low leverage has been pitching well.

641
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: So everybody seems to be kind of putting it together.

642
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, I agree, Jim, you gotta Everything seems

643
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: to be kind of going well at the moment except one,

644
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 3: and that is a huge thing.

645
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: They gotta get.

646
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: They want, they need good, they need healthy. Ninety seven

647
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: ninety eight Zach Wheeler down the stretch and certainly in

648
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: the post. He's one of the best postseason pitchers ever,

649
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: like Ted Betton at least ten games start, He's like

650
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: top eight in ERA all time postseason, so they need

651
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: that going. But yeah, I mean the Phillies also, the

652
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: Dodgers lost on Sunday. The Phillies right now have the

653
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: second best record in the National League, which gives him

654
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: that first round by That's also something that you want

655
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: to keep an eye on. So Monday night at six

656
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: ten pm Eastern, you got Taiwan Walker against Andrew Abbott.

657
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: This is at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. Tuesday at

658
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: six forties Rangers Suarez against Brady Singer. And then Wednesday

659
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: the series finale in Cincinnati five to ten, five to

660
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: ten Eastern, Christopher Sanchez against Hunter Greens.

661
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 5: So that'll be quite a matchup with Hunter Green coming

662
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 5: back off the il Man.

663
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: Hunter Green's been throwing really really well. Yep. Yeah, I

664
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: mean he's really progressed into the guy that they hope

665
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: they beat.

666
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 3: And the Reds, like the Rangers, are on the just

667
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 3: on the out side of that wildcard race. I think

668
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: there like maybe a game and a half behind the Mets,

669
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: game and a half behind the Mets. This is a

670
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: team with Terry Frankcona, they've got some copy.

671
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

672
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,320

673
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: for it. They want to get back to the postseason.
