Speaker 2: Jim, you ready to rock and roll today? Talk to

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,440

Speaker 5: Come on, man, let's have a knockdown, drag out rock

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious.

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Well, the Fast Lamp District here in San Diego.

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 5: That's a fun spot. That's they after a Friday night game.

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 5: Probably the most drunk young people I've ever seen in

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 5: my life fill that area.

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Nice.

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 2: That's very true.

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: It's true.

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: It's a good party time.

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 5: Be careful not to step in puddles of vomit on

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 5: the way back to the hotel.

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, gracious, I will try. I will try

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 4: to keep that in mind.

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

34
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 4: Phillies won the series finale in San Francisco on Wednesday.

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 4: San Francisco is a crazy place, fellows for the fight

36
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: in Phils, Yeah it is. It is no bueno. And

37
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: let's start right there. Let's get down to business. Let's

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 4: start with the Parks Casino.

39
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: First Pitch. First Pitch is powered by the bet Parks app. Guys,

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: the Phillies. Oracle Park has not been kind.

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: The Phillies are eight and twenty seven at Oracle Park

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: since they won their last series there in twenty thirteen.

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: To get that, winning horrors is a two of horrors.

44
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 4: That is a two to twenty nine winning percentage. To

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 4: put that in the perspective, that's basically matching the historically

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: bad twenty twenty five Colorado Rockies. So they're playing like

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park for some reason. Over

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: the past decade plus, they're even worse. Since they split

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: a four game series in twenty seventeen. They're four and

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 4: eighteen there. They got that fourth win on Wednesday, Monday,

51
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: they lose. You had a little Phil Couzy umpire action

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 4: going on.

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: They got everybody riled up. Uh, Tuesday, you had one.

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: Of the most unbelievable losses I've ever seen the entire

55
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: of life.

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: We can laugh about it all the time, of all

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: time time loss.

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: I was thinking of regular season losses, not playoff losses.

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 4: So I'm not talking like Black Friday NLCS back in

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: the seventies or you know any crazy.

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: Eleven eleven, Yeah, twenty eleven.

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: I'm not talking the last two games of the twenty

63
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: twenty end, but regular season losses.

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Tuesday nights. Was that was unbelievable. That was unbelieved.

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: Then of course Wednesday they rebound and Bryce Harper goes off,

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: Jesus Lozardo has has a big start.

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: What jumped out of it happened.

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: So much happened this weekend. It's unbelievable. I mean, there's action,

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: I mean, there's all types of things to talk about.

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I will say that I've never seen the loss like

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: that in my life. And I talked to Mike Cruco,

72
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: who is a long time major league pitcher and pitched

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, was his bat boy way back when, and

74
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: he said he'd never seen a ball carre m off

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: that wall like that and had hit the cement part

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: above the brick, and so a jettison jetted out to

77
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: center field and just I mean it bolted. I mean,

78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: the ball should have been out of the ballpark anyway

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: it was crushed. It would have been out of every

80
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: other ballpark in the planet, right, it would have been

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: out a yellowstone. But the ball karmed and goes all

82
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the way down past like the center field mark Walmart,

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, three ninety nine or whatever it is out there.

84
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how far it kramed. I mean, that's

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: how hard it was hit. It was amazing, and I'm

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: actually glad I was there to see it, because I

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: would never believe it if I didn't see it in

88
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: my own eyes.

89
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: Well, they built that angle and that high wall and

90
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 5: that brick and cement, so a bunch of messed up

91
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: stuff would happen. You just kind of wish it didn't

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 5: happen with the fight in Phils in town, but you're

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 5: not surprised given the way things have gone for them

94
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 5: in San Francisco over the years.

95
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: You know, a lot of people were talking after the

96
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: game about a lot of different things, and one of

97
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: them was could those guys have been positioned any differently?

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: And Ruby, like you said, Kruko, who has been broadcasting

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: games there forever, said he's never seen a Paul kicked

100
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 4: that way. I talked to Brandon Marsh after that game,

101
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: and he's like, no, I really don't think I was.

102
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: I thought I was positioned in a good spot. There's

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: nothing I could have done.

104
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: You know, the only thing that could have maybe helped

105
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: is Max Kepler really didn't go out and kind of

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: pursue that ball as well. But I still think they

107
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: lose that game. I don't think he could have saved

108
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: the day or anything like that.

109
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: But let me just say that some people would think

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: they did wild. If people think that they should have

111
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: been positioned differently and that's the reason why they lost

112
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: the game, then they know nothing about anything. That's that's

113
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: my take on that impossible. The defense he went over

114
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: there to try to be there. I mean, at least

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: he was over there. Had he stayed in his position,

116
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: which would have been the wrong thing to do, then

117
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: maybe he could have, you know, prevented it. But that's

118
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: not how it works. And you know it happened, and

119
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: it was nobody's fault other than the pitcher who through

120
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: a ninety four mile hour fastball literally right down the

121
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: middle to one of the worst hitters in baseball and

122
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: he crushed it.

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 5: There's it was right down the middle and coming off

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: that cement or that concrete wall, it comes off with

125
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: great velocity.

126
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: It's not like it's hitting wood.

127
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 5: It's not like it's hitting padded wall that's going to

128
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: decrease the velocity it's ricocheting off there. It's like, you know,

129
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 5: almost like when you hit a golf ball off. Something

130
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: comes off with great force and it's by you before

131
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 5: you even know it.

132
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I guess the bigger issue is, you know,

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: Jordan Romano.

134
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: What do you do about Jordan Romano?

135
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you do? I mean, that was the

136
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: other thing.

137
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I really don't I really don't know. And I asked

138
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Rob Thompson, like, is there reason why you have such

139
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: fluctuation and stuff and velocity in particular, because he can

140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: throw up ninety eight mile hour fastball just as soon

141
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: as you can throw a ninety four mile hour fastball.

142
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: He said, you know, one of the things that he

143
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: thought of, obviously is he's not had a whole lot

144
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: of ups and downs. He's one of those guys that

145
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 1: goes in, gets the outs, gets three outs or whatever

146
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: has in the past, and then sits down and that's it.

147
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Well to go back out there because he was forced

148
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: to sort of do it.

149
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 5: Who gets ups and downs at the back of a

150
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 5: bullpen these days, everybody's everybody's conditioned to get three.

151
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: Outs and then you know, very very few guys go

152
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: up and sit down.

153
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: I might as I watched.

154
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: You know, we've been talking for weeks about how they

155
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 5: need a back end reliever or shut down arm, whatever

156
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 5: you want to call it. I think they need three

157
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 5: of them. I think they need three relievers. I think

158
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 5: they need a huge makeover in that bullpen.

159
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: And that's a tough and that's a tough, very tough

160
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: thing to do because you never when we look at

161
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the times that they've tried to get three relievers in

162
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: the past and they all stunk, one of them will come.

163
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: If you can get one. If you can get one,

164
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: that's good, then you're lucky as hell, because you just

165
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: never know. It's a crap shoot, man. Bullpen guys are

166
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a crap shoot. But yes, you know, you know, you

167
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: got to try to and I'm sure Davidbrowski's trying. There's

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: other guys. I mean, it's not really about whether or

169
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: not he's making the effort to do so. It's about

170
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the price tag, and it's about, you know, the quality

171
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: of the picture and that many there's not that many

172
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: out there. You can kind of them on one finger

173
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: or trying.

174
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: They're trying, they're gonna get they'll get one.

175
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: They're gonna have to pay through the nose, and they

176
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 5: might get a secondary guy, and then the third guy

177
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: is gonna have to come from the rotation. But you know,

178
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: right now, it's it's kind of a strong and kirk

179
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 5: ring as the two guys I would say that are

180
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 5: in the circle of trust. It's just Romano's been just

181
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 5: too inconsistent to be there.

182
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: And the only thing I wanted to talk about, and

183
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: we'll get into Lozardo a little bit further, is that

184
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: you know Lozardo's stuff, and people keep talking about, well,

185
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's not really not that good. Guess what, guys,

186
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: He's really good. He's really good, and it's a mechanical

187
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: thing that he had to get through and he made

188
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: another adjustment in between these last two starts, and we'll

189
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit further. But but he's

190
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: awfully good. And they have three unbelievable, four unbelievable starters

191
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: in that rotation. Three of them happened to.

192
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: Be left handed.

193
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty awesome.

194
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lozardo did make an adjustment. He put his hands

195
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: kind of back down where they were before. He still

196
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: got that glove, so he thinks that maybe could help

197
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 4: him not tip pitches.

198
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: That's that's what he was doing. But yeah, it was.

199
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: It was there was so high and his hands were

200
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: tucked so back. It was like an unnatural thing he

201
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: was doing. So he's like, I'm just gonna go back,

202
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: kind of go back to what I was doing with

203
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: the big glove.

204
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: Maybe that'll be but that'll be right.

205
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: He looked.

206
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: He looked really good yesterday, really good, really good.

207
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: On Wednesday. His change up was working too. When he

208
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: gets that change up working, that's a swinging mispitch. So

209
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: he's got three swing three or four swinging miss pitches.

210
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 3: Now.

211
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty damn good.

212
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was, uh San Francisco man, I was walking

213
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 4: out on Wednesday.

214
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: I said the writers, I said, maybe I'll see you

215
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: guys in the NLDS. I'm like, oh, man, can you imagine.

00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: Nightmares? Nightmare that place nightmare.

217

Speaker 3: Well, they got out of there with one and.

218
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: One very good sign, one of the most important signs.

219
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: And when they got out of there with that one win,

220
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,040

Speaker 1: day and the way he did it, it's not just

222
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: what he did, but the way he did it. That

223

265
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 5: the best parking spot. Like I parked right outside the

266
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 5: press door without security. You'd walk into security. They wouldn't

267
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 5: even check your bag. You could be walking in there with.

268
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: A machine gun or something.

269
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,400

270
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 5: Different times, and they never hassled you about anything. But

271
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 5: I would park so close to the press door Todd

272
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 5: that some nights if I was finished quick, which is

273
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: very seldom, as you know, yeah, I would get I

274
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: would get blocked in by the visiting team bus. I

275
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 5: can still recall one night walking out of the VET,

276
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 5: getting out of there quick, thinking, wow.

277
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to be home.

278
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna be a wah wah on three

279
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 5: twenty two and no time, and uh, there's I think

280
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: it was a San Francisco Giants buss is idling there

281
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 5: and I could see Matt Williams sitting against the window

282
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 5: talking on his phone. I had to wait like twenty

283
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 5: minutes to get out for their boss.

284
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 4: Remember back I mean back in the day at the

285
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: vat Yeah, I donly was this in O three too,

286
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 4: they would actually serve beer after the game in the

287
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: press box.

288
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure they did.

289
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: Many press boxes did.

290
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: Many press boxes served beer after uh after games because

291
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 5: the games, you know, they didn't last four hours, so

292
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 5: it was a couple of hours, and you know, scouts

293
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: and everybody would have a uh, you know, meet up

294
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 5: after the game and.

295
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: You guys have a chat and you guys would exchange

296
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: information and uh build relationships. And now front office has

297
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: hate all the media people. They don't even talk to

298
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: be around. I'm not wrong. That's the truth.

299
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: It's it's it's a lot less, that.

300
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: Is the truth. They're they're never around. I never see

301
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen a front office person from anywhere any

302
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: team other than Dave Dombrowski who kind of rolls through there. Yeah,

303
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: and some of the other people of Phillies people because

304
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: they're kind of old school mentality. They're ghosts all the

305
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: all the front offices are ghosts.

306
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 5: Not a lot of scouts, we digress, not a lot

307
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: of scouts, right, I mean, teams are scouting on video, and.

308
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're scouting on video. That's the video is way

309
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: more important.

310
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: It's like, you don't see Billy Sheerer, former Phillies great

311
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 5: sitting up at the top row.

312
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: You know you don't see you don't see scouts out

313
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: there very often. I know, I know the Phillies have

314
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: their scouts out there. Mike Condo gets him out there.

315
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: He's a good boy.

316
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,440

Speaker 2: All Right, we're back, Rubin. You talked about Bryce. Happ happened, Yeah,

392
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: I mean, what a game by Bryce and after the

393
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: game it was great. We're talking to him after the game.

394
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: I'm sure you guys have seen the quotes, right, And

395
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: Matt Gelb at the Athletics said something like, you know,

396
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 4: you really haven't had a lot of like moments like today,

397
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: like in the first half he just because he's been injured,

398
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: he's kind of been scuffling.

399
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: He hasn't really been happy with his.

400
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: You know, decision making at the plate, swinging at pitches

401
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 4: out of his zone, and not just kind of being himself.

402
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 4: And the question was something like, you know you exit

403
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 4: back to have more moments in the second half.

404
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: Is this something you think you're going to do?

405
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 4: And then the quote again, I know you guys have

406
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 4: heard this, but for those who haven't, he says, I

407
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 4: mean I'm really good.

408
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: I really am.

409
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 4: I don't want anybody, I don't want to put that

410
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 4: out there and everybody goes, what's he talking about? But

411
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: I know when I'm going, well, I'm one of the

412
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: best in baseball. And I left that thinking maybe this

413
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: guy is going to have a big second half. I mean,

414
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: you just can't help but think of that after a

415
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 4: game like that, opposite field solo home run and three

416
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 4: opposite field doubles, two of them off the wall. I

417
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: think one of those doubles would have been a home

418
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 4: run definitely at Citizen Bang Park and maybe half the

419
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: other parks in baseball. So just a tremendous game. And

420
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 4: he was definitely like at bats and and man, what

421
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: a what a thing that would be if Bryce got

422
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 4: going in the second half and was like MVP Brice

423
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 4: in the second half, because that would make a big

424
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 4: difference to all the inconsistencies in this lineup that we've

425
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 4: seen in the first half so far.

426
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's your big bat acquisition, right.

427
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: Exactly right, Yeah.

428
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean the thing that it's for me, it's the

429
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: way he did it. You know, we used to talk

430
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: about Bobby and Bray you all the time. You go

431
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: through like an zero for ten or something like that,

432
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, all you had to do

433
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: is flip one into the left field for a base

434
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: hit and then be back on track because he stayed

435
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 1: on the ball a little bit longer. And you know,

436
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: he had a very tough at bat in his first

437
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: a bat because Justin Berlinder had this great breaking ball.

438
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: Going early, punches out doesn't look good, and then he

439
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: just decides to smoke some balls to the opposite field.

440
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: He's never in his career ever. This is amazing had

441
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: four extra base hits in a game. I mean for

442
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: a guy like Bryce Harper, who's pretty much he's done

443
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: everything in the game for him to not have had

444
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: that type of game was pretty impressive. And the fact

445
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: that he did it in San Francisco and drove the

446
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: ball off the wall. I mean, first of all, to

447
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: hit home run in San Francisco to left field is

448
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: a virtual impossibility. Nobody does it. That's why I don't

449
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: know anybody who can hit over thirty home runs there ever,

450
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: other than Barry Bonds, right, And for him to drive

451
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: a ball out of the ballpark to left and then

452
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: drill those balls off the wall, I mean, arguably it

453
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: could have been three home runs there. Just outstanding. And

454
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: for those people who said, well, you know, maybe he's done,

455
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: maybe he's on the other side of it, maybe he's

456
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't have any power anymore, Please don't be ridiculous.

457
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: The man is still Superman. He's just been pretty pedestrian

458
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: in the first part of the season for whatever reason.

459
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: I think he thinks it's his swing decisions and some

460
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: of his health issues. But the guy can still play,

461
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: and he's still a really good hitter, and he will

462
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: repelled his team. And if he does, you know, somewhere

463
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: between what he did last night and where he was

464
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: before he got hurt, I think that they're they're they're

465
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. That will help that line up a

466
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: whole lot.

467
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 5: No doubt he can carry a line up. We've seen

468
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 5: it here, we've seen it in Washington. If he gets going,

469
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 5: that is a great thing for this team. What I liked,

470
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 5: I agree with you on the opposite field, I mean,

471
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 5: I agree, it's it's tough to hit a ball out there.

472
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 5: I saw Jake ariot It hit one out to left

473
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 5: one day out, remember that, Todd, Yeah, that.

474
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 4: Was the only that was the only run they scored

475
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: in that entire series was a Jake area at a

476
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: home run.

477
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: That was logic. Did they test him after the game?

478
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 2: That was twenty eighteen.

479
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: I think that was the famous day where the King

480
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 5: and the King play and uh he called out king.

481
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: It was a nightmare. I don't know.

482
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 5: It was interesting day. Yeah, it was a lot of

483
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 5: a lot of scuffling around. Kappeler was trying to do

484
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 5: damage control after that, and it was it was kind

485
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 5: of an ugly day. But I remember Ariata hitting home

486
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 5: runs left. But anyway, seeing Bryce go the other way

487
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: good sign. The swing was not violent, it was smooth.

488
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 5: He was on his feet, he wasn't coming out of

489
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: his shoes. He was on his legs, nice swings going

490
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 5: the other way. And you mentioned something the other day, Ruben,

491
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 5: that he had a great round of VP. Was that outside.

492
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: He's been hitting outside. He hit outside. He doesn't tell you.

493
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: Something that tells you something.

494
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 5: He don't do it very often, and he only does

495
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 5: it when he's going good, so he can you know,

496
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 5: he doesn't want to be looking like he's out there

497
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: working on stuff. He takes BP out outside occasionally, sometimes

498
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 5: early in the series, but generally when he's really on

499
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 5: the ball, and that was probably a good sign.

500
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: It was a vicious It was a vicious BP he

501
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: took too. I mean I saw him Camra Rarely do

502
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: you see him because he's always sitting inside. But he

503
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: was hammering some pitches. But you're right about the balance.

504
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: When he stays balanced and he doesn't fall off to

505
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: the pool side, to the right side, and his feet

506
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: don't move off and pull off, he sees the ball better.

507
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: He drives the ball through the middle of the field

508
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: and he does the opposite field, you know, power like

509
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: nobody's business. And when he does that, man, he's terribly

510
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: dangerous because then when pitcher feel like they can get

511
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: in on him say good night. Yeah, he.

512
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 4: Raises his ops like forty points in just one game.

513
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: So now you look at now it's like almost eight

514
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 4: twenty or something. So you look at the numbers like, oh,

515
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 4: he's actually had a pretty decent half. But you know,

516
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 4: one game can make a big difference. But he did

517
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: talk a lot about his swing decision, swing decisions and

518
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 4: making sure he gets ahead in the count and allowing

519
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 4: himself to get ahead in the count and then doing

520
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 4: damage once he is ahead in the account And all

521
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: four of those balls on Wednesday where when he was

522
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 4: ahead and account three to one fast ball on the

523
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: home run from Berlander, then it was one zero change

524
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: up for a double, one oh curveball for a double,

525
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 4: three two sinker for a for a double. And this

526
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 4: is a guy who sees pitches in the zone only

527
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 4: forty percent of the time. I mean, it's by far

528
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: the lowest rate in baseball, Like the next closest guy

529
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: is like forty five percent.

530
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: So he gets almost nothing to hit in the game.

531
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 4: So I guess in his mind he's like, you know,

532
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 4: I gotta I gotta stay off some of these pitches early,

533
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: get ahead in the count, and then they have to

534
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 4: come into me, and then when they come into me,

535
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 4: I'm going to hit the ball hard and get on base.

536
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: I will be fascinated over the next couple of weeks

537
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: what happens to that lineup, whether he flip flops Shoreber

538
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: and Harper again, or they keep them right where they

539
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: are because somebody's got to protect somebody else and the

540
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: bone's not going well. You know, it's I pick your

541
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: poison when when they're two lefties are going well, but

542
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to pick the poison if the guy

543
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: behind the left, you know, one of the left handers

544
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: is not going well. So I'll be fascinated who's who's

545
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: protecting who they're Yeah, the next couple of weeks.

546
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 5: Having you know, covered Bryce for a few years now,

547
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 5: one of his consistent self critiques is, you know, I'm

548
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 5: not swinging at pictures when he's going bad, is I'm

549
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 5: not swinging up pitches in the zone. He has said that,

550
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 5: like from day one, when he's going bad, just not

551
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 5: swinging up pitches in the zone. So when he started,

552
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 5: you know, I would imagine it's seeing the ball well.

553
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 5: When he when he brings the ball in the zone,

554
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 5: that's when he does all his damage. It's where really

555
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 5: when any hitter does the damage. But we just know

556
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 5: that this guy can be otherworldly when he's on one

557
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 5: of his streets, when he's seeing it well, when his

558
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 5: balance is good, when he's using the whole field, and

559
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 5: it can last a while.

560
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to have to throw my commercial out

561
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: there about the whole veterans not going to rehab thing.

562
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: And I get it. I understand that they don't go

563
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: to rehab because there's a you know, they have the

564
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: right after like five years in the major leagues, you

565
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: know you can say, screw you, front office. I am

566
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: going to not rehab and I'm gonna play baseball and

567
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw me VP and I'm gonna be ready.

568
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit off the trajectory and they have the

569
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: right to do that. I think it's the worst thing

570
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: that baseball has created, because if you're out for a

571
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: month and you think that you can come back after

572
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: not seeing live pitching, I don't care whether it's live BP.

573
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: If you're not in a game, it's not the same thing.

574
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: And it does take some time. Now, there are some

575
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: superhumans who can do it, who can fall out of bed.

576
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 1: A John Kruck can fall out of bed and hit

577
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: a line drive by swinging the bat. There are other

578
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: guys who just need the timing, and they need the

579
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: timing their footwork, their mind work, their eyes. There's so

580
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: many things muscle memory that have to come back. And

581
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: the fact that these none of these guys rehab anymore,

582
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: it takes them more time to get back and into

583
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: the flow, and it's a detriment to the sport. I understand,

584
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, players have more and more rights these days,

585
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: but it's something that doesn't work well for me. And

586
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: that's part of the game, and it doesn't have to

587
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: be part of the game, but it really is. And

588
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: I asked Rob Thompson, I go, hey, what about the pictures.

589
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean the pictuers have to go down and rehab assignments.

590
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: She said, no, they don't have to go down either.

591
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: But they're smart enough to know that if they get

592
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: on a major league mound after just throwing bullpens or

593
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: live vps, that they know that they're going to get

594
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 1: knocked around. It's going to be detrimental to them. But

595
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: the hitters don't say that, and I think it's wrong.

596
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: That's my commercial done I'm not going to be a

597
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: GAM again, but I'm going to tell you right now,

598
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: if I was, that that'd be something that would be

599
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: very important for me to have to try to force

600
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: on the players and have them it's for their own good.

601
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: It's for their own good. I mean, I don't think

602
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: players want to be embarrassed out there, and I know

603
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: that there's there's the danger of possibly getting hurt while

604
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: on Rehaby. You have danger going on rehab and getting

605
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: hurt walking off the curb. That's where I'm at. Okay,

606
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm off my box.

607
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: Ruben, you said you're not gonna be a JAM again.

608
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: I read your name in the Ken Rosenthal story the

609
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: other day.

610
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, it's gonna happen, no doubt.

611
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 5: I think you should be a GM again. But I

612
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 5: know you don't want to give up the Philly Show podcast.

613
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: I would never want to do, That's what That's what

614
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: I said to Ruben yesterday ago.

615
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: This this guy.

616
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,560
