1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Bryce Harper and welcome to The Billy Show.

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Ruben Tomorrow, Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todd z Aleki. It's the

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: Philly Show. It's Friday, December fifth, twenty twenty five. We

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: have a very fun show for you guys. Today we

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: got Joe Decameron from WIP to talk to some Phillies

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: and talk about his new book. Let me throw that

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: graphic up on the screen right here. It's the best

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: of Philly Sports, Amazing moments and stories in Philadelphia sports history.

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: And I loved what he said, kind of the impetus

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: of writing this book, why he wanted to write it,

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: kind of a cool backstory, which kind of makes you

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: want to buy it, which makes you want to buy.

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: And that kind of makes you want to buy it,

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: makes you want to buy the book.

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: No, I did buy it.

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Why he wanted to write the book.

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: I did buy it. I think Ruben got his for free.

18
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 3: I bought mine, Listen, I.

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: Got mine for free, and I got mind signed.

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: Oh look at that.

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: You close that inscription very fast, Ruben.

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: Be a forgery, but it's not. It's the real deal,

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: the real deal, Holy Field.

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: Uh So we're gonna get to Joe in a bit.

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: But the Winter Meetings begin next week in Orlando, Florida.

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be down there, you know what. Real quickly, guys,

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: what are you guys hoping to see next week from

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: the Phillies at the Winter meetings? Ruben, why don't you

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: lead us off?

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you'd like to get some clarity as

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: quickly as possible on what.

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: What's gonna happen with Kyle Schwarber.

33
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the biggest ticket name and NJ T.

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: I gotta believe that at some point. I don't know

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: how long it's going to be dragged out on the

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez situation, but the Dylan CS thing certainly affects him,

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: as we talked about before. But but but for me,

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: it's about Kyle Schwarber because I think once they know

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: what's going on with Coylee Schwarber, whether he's with the

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Phillies or he's with the Cincinnati Reds, or he's with

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, pitts Pirates not happening, or whatever team it

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: is he's with, then I think that they can go

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: about the rest of their business because that's the top

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: priority forum and move forward. I do believe that if

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: it's not done during these winter meetings, I think shortly thereafter,

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I think you'll have some clarity on it. But love

47
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: to see it get worked out and find out and

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: get some clarity on Kyles Shwart first and foremost and

49
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: then go from there.

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I noticed, Ruben, You went you

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: were all hot and heavy on Tuesday show talking about

52
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Schwarber and the Cincinnati Reds. And then what happened after that?

53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: You My colleague at MLB dot com, Mark Sheldon, writes

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: a story about the Reds, you know, in the hunt

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: in the pursuit are part of foul territory. Ken Rosenthal

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: writes a story about it. So, Ruben, you're kind of

57
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: u A.

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: I am, I am am I making things happen?

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 4: Am I dropping the mic?

60
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: You're dropping the mic?

61
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: My man, you're dropping the mic.

62
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: It was pretty good stuff, some.

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: Things that sort of made sense.

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, as far as you know the overall needs

65
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: of certain teams and where that they can push their

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, push their the ovelop Well.

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: The Reds, the Reds are in it, but I don't

68
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: think they can win it. And I think this is

69
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: the Phillies game to win Uh, with Kyle Schwarber. And

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: that is the perfect word clarity in terms of Kyle Schwarber,

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: because he is the lynch pin. He's sort of the

72
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: the pivot on this entire postseason for the Phillies because

73
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: once you find out if you got him as your

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: big ticket, that's your big ticket. Now the rest is,

75
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: you know, j T dressing the bullpen, figure out what

76
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: you're gonna do in the outfield. But you've got to

77
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: figure out what you're gonna what's gonna happen with Schwarver,

78
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: because if you don't get him back, you can spend

79
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: your big ticket elsewhere, possibly Pete Alonzo, possibly Bobush. I

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: don't know, but I think, uh, it's gonna end up

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: being Kyle Schwarber. I feel like it's getting close here

82
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: and it's kind of moving toward us. I think the

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: winter meetings will spur some activity. I don't think Kyle

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: wants to go deep into October. That's just kind of

85
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: my gut feel of it. Also my eyes around what

86
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: happens with Schwarber and how that will springboard the rest

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: of the Phillies plan their winter. I'm watching don't.

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Forget Bellinger and Tucker as part of that too. Tucker

89
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: maybe not as much, but Bellinger certainly.

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, And I'm not feeling either one of those

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: guys really for the Phillies, especially not Tucker. I think

92
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: if that's going to approach four hundred, I just don't

93
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: see that happening here. But you know, they want Schwarber,

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: they want rail Mudo. We're gonna see how much progress,

95
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: and I'm sure they've been working hard on it. We're

96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: just gonna see if this the winter meetings could signal

97
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: a home stretch on either one of those guys. I

98
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: don't know. I feel like it could. But one other

99
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: thing I'm keeping my eye on is other Minnesota Twins

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: is gonna make Byron Buxton available? Is Byron Buxton gonna

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: make himself available? I think that could be an interesting

102
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: conversation for the Phillies to have because he would check

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: a couple of blocks the center field and right handed

104
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: power guy in the middle. I think you'd really help

105
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: your twenty twenty six club. I know he's got a

106
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: lot of you know, those injury issues, but it would

107
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: be a heck of a roll of the dice for

108
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: a team that's really desperate to win now.

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: I you know, selfishly speaking, I'd just like to see

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: some a little creativity, a little surprise move to come

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: out of it, besides Schwarburt, besides Realmuto. It would be

112
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: fun to have like a nice, a good old fashioned

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: baseball trade come out of this. Imagine that, Yeah, good

114
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: old fashioned baseball trade. Dave Dombrowski has been known to

115
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: make a few of those in his day, made a

116
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: couple before the trade deadline, of course, getting Joan durn

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: and Harrison Bader. So, Dave, if you're out there listening,

118
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: give us something to write about next week at the

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: Winter Meetings. But we got Joe Decamra coming up right now,

120
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: and we asked him, of course what he wants to

121
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: see at the Winter Meetings, and of course to talk

122
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: about his new book. Here's Joe. We are joined right

123
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: now by wip's Joe Decamera. Joe, how are you man?

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,960

128
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: wonderful man. I appreciate it well, so my bosses.

129
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Guys, another one of my bosses, joins us.

130
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: That's right, and we're gonna talk with Joe in a

131
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: little bit about he's got a book. He's not only

132
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: an esteemed sports talk show host, morning show and WIP,

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: but he's got the best of Philly sports, amazing moments

134
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: and stories and Philadelphia sports history. It's wherever you can

135
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: get your books right now, all over the play where

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: Jim's got one and.

137
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 4: Thank you, hold on, hold on, don't go crazy.

138
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: Now, Jim's got one on his person, Ruben's got one

139
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: on his person. I put the graphic together. So that's

140
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: that's my contribution, Joe. But Joe, we were just talking

141
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: about the Winter Meetings. They begin next week. So well,

142
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: before we get to the book, we want to ask

143
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: you about the Phillies.

144
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're just talking.

145
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: About the Winter Meetings. What do you want to see

146
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: happen next week? At the Winter Meetings? Rule five draft

147
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: ends Wednesday afternoon, all the reporters and the teams get

148
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: on their flights going back to Philly from Orlando. What

149
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: do you want to see the Phillies have done?

150
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: Well, Look, it's a really complicated situation and I'll just

151
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: say this before I answer. I think it's the most

152
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: fascinating Phillies all season that I can ever remember in

153
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 4: my lifetime. I mean, there's the confluence of so many things.

154
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: We don't have to reveal them. Everyone knows. I'll just

155
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: tell you I'm pretty pro running it back now. Obviously,

156
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: you know, there comes a point where that becomes unwise

157
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: a certain amount of years, certain amount of dollars, and

158
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: it's hard, you know, as we all have these discussions

159
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: in October and November and December, and it will probably

160
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: drift into January, maybe February. It's a little hard to

161
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: talk walk in the abstract. You know, we don't know

162
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: what the highest bidder will be for Shoreburn. We just

163
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: don't know. So I'll just say, if things don't get

164
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: too crazy where it then becomes such a preventative factor

165
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: for the Phillies to have the ability to sign others

166
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: and be nimble. And if it's not for too many years,

167
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: where then you really hurt Let's say Andrew Painter's future.

168
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: If he's your guy in twenty thirty one and he's

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: the next you know, Wheeler, but he's got all these

170
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: old bats and they can't you know, hit the ball.

171
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: Then then obviously there's got to be a walking away point.

172
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: But to be really simple, Todd, I would just say

173
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 4: I thought the Phillies were one of the five best

174
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: teams in baseball last year. I'm not as down on

175
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: them as many across the Delaware Valley were and probably

176
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 4: still are. You know, if you gave me the same team,

177
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I'd be thrilled, but I think they'd

178
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: have a real shot. I think this is more about

179
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 4: trying to run it back for the most part, while

180
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: making some adjustments, you think in terms of Boom and others,

181
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: because you don't want to have the exact same team.

182
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: Obviously you're not gonna have the same team in the outfield.

183
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 4: We know that, so but I you know, generally speaking,

184
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: if they could get Schwarberg j At, I think that'd

185
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 4: be fantastic.

186
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: Jim what he got.

187
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 3: I agree they need those two guys back. I sometimes

188
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: detest the phrase running it back because this team is

189
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: in a situation where they need to capitalize in the

190
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: next year or two while they still the guys that

191
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: are here, the Harpers, the Turners, the Wheelers and all those.

192
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: You can't just let that nucleus die on the vine

193
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: if they could do one first of all, do you

194
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: think they're going to get those two guys back in

195
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 3: your opinion? And if they could do one thing beyond that,

196
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: what would you like to see?

197
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 4: Well, I'll say yes, And it's obviously totally just a guess.

198
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 4: I mean, you couldn't have more of a guess than

199
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: that was when I just answered that, Jim. But I

200
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: tend to think they will. But I will tell you

201
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: there's one thing, Jim, I disagree with what you said,

202
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: which is this concept that you can't let that part

203
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: of the nucleus go or per se. What I think

204
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: you're really said I should say is you can't let

205
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: the remaining nucleus die on the vine. And here's where

206
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 4: I disagree with that. The LA Dodgers just won the

207
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: World Series for the second time in two years, and

208
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: I guess what the third time in five or six,

209
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: whatever the heck it is. And they've changed their nucleus

210
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: five times in the last ten to fifteen years. You know,

211
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 4: I think one of the arguments about walking away from

212
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: Shoreber and JT in particular is you know, at times

213
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: you just gotta restock the nucleus and even if you

214
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: have to go down for a year. See one thing

215
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: I think the Phillies have in their back pocket if

216
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: they walk away from Shoreber and JT and Ruben. You

217
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: didn't have this to the full extent, you know in

218
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 4: your eras GM, certainly someone like Lee Thomas you go

219
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 4: back thirty forty years ago, did and have this. Is

220
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: you can still make the play as an eighty seven

221
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 4: win team. That's a third wild card. And you know

222
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: the reality, I mean, even an eighty five win team

223
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: can make the playoffs. And I think with this starting pitching,

224
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: you know it's very possible this team can just keep

225
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: it going and needs to be careful about committing to

226
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: the wrong pats for the wrong years.

227
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 3: So what you're saying is I need Shwarber's power. If

228
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: we're not going to get Sharber's power back, If Phillies

229
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: are not going to get Sharba's power back, they better

230
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: get it like an Alonso. They need to you know,

231
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: they need to bring in a guy who can deliver

232
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: that type of power.

233
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: Well, I agree, I mean, look, I agree, it's what

234
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: you want. I guess what I'm saying is I think

235
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: there is an argument that they can make the playoffs

236
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: if they have the exact same team without Kyle Schwarber,

237
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 4: I guess that is it, and that means not getting

238
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: Peede Alonzo. You know you have Darren Roff. I mean,

239
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 4: I'm giving you a ridiculous example, but like they have

240
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: elite starting pitching, and so it's a it's a fine

241
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: line between you're trying to strike now, particularly as you're

242
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: saying you might only have Wheeler for two more years,

243
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 4: but you don't want to hurt the deep future. That's

244
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: where I'm at.

245
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: So in a vacuum knowing that you do not have

246
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: JT and Schwarber right now as the team stands today,

247
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: if you're going to prioritize, how would you go one, two,

248
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: and three?

249
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 4: Joe, Well, you want to start with Schwarber number one.

250
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: He's the best player of all those guys. I think

251
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: it gets really complicated if he holds them up the longest.

252
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: Meaning it's a simpler situation of Schwarber is one of

253
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: the first big name guys in free agency to sign,

254
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 4: because then you know you have to pivot. If you

255
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 4: choose to pivot and you have time to pivot, I

256
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 4: would try to do Schorober first, So I guess I

257
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: would go Shober one, JT two, altfielder guy third. I mean,

258
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 4: it's sad we're not even talking about Ranger. I think

259
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: we all know he's pretty much much gone unless there's

260
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 4: some unique trade that trades away a good or great picture,

261
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 4: you know, maybe for an outfield or that's possible, But

262
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: even that from a payroll standpoint, doesn't still feel too

263
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: because the pictures you'd be talking about trading, like theoretically

264
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: lozartist that doesn't make a ton of money. So it's

265
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 4: one of those scenarios where I just think it's really

266
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: sad that Rangers probably going to be gone and there's

267
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 4: just about nothing you can do about it. Do you

268
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: guys agree? Do you guys agree with that?

269
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: I had JT.

270
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: I had JT first. I had to catcher because it's

271
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: such an important position. I can understand Schwarber because he's

272
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: so important.

273
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 3: Otherwise, power.

274
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: Make up all the other intangibles.

275
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: It's almost like a one in one a But I

276
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: go catch her first because it's the most important position

277
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: on the field for me, and it affects the pitching

278
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: in a way that's pretty sure.

279
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: Well, here's something I think the Phillies also could use

280
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: and it doesn't quite it's hard to stack up one, two,

281
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: three cents, but I'll just tell you guys, I think

282
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: they could use a creative trade. We've seen it before.

283
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 4: We look, we saw the ninety three fills in many

284
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: ways get built by creative trades. I mean mu'holland is

285
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 4: brought in by a trade, you know, Sammy for for Lenny,

286
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: I mean Crucker was brought in from a trade. You know,

287
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 4: they could use one of them, and they're not easy

288
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: to pull off obviously, and Lazarda was an unbelievably quality,

289
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: you know, somewhat creative trade last year. But they it

290
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: just feels like, and we've been saying this for a

291
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: couple of years, there's there's just a log jam the

292
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: way they're built structurally, payroll wise, and I just feel

293
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: like if they could come up with something that sort

294
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: of unlogjam them, that would help. But you know, we

295
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: all know that's not easy to do.

296
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: Well. If they do JT and Schwarber, they are going

297
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: to be pretty close to tapped out unless they could

298
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: move maybe a bomb, maybe a strom you're gonna free up.

299
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: You know, if you did that, you free up about

300
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: seventeen million, then you can maybe get created on the

301
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: trade front. But if you do the two big guys,

302
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: you probably look, your next move has to come in

303
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: a trade. And and to me, that creative trade could

304
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: be a guy like Byron Buxton, who to me would

305
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: check two boxes, you know, middle little bet right handed

306
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: gendle of the auto right fielder. That's where you're getting creative.

307
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: You know.

308
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Twins would be interested in

309
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: a whole lot off your big league roster, but maybe

310
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: something after your uh, after your top two painter and Miller.

311
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe you could put together something there to bring

312
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: him in because you know, age wise, I know he's

313
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: up there. I know he gets hurt. But I got

314
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: to roll the dice that he can help me win

315
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: next year.

316
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: Just got to do it next year, for sure.

317
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: That's what it's appealing. I mean, we all know it's appealing.

318
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: And you know, I just think it's an unbelievable off season.

319
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: I I I look, I'm still really and by the way,

320
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: with how much the Eagles are struggling. I mean just

321
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: you know, I say, they're not like struggling massively. They're

322
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: eight and four, but the last couple of weeks have

323
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: been brutal, and the offense has been brutal. And I

324
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 4: made the point today on our show that I'm really

325
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: starting at Jones for the Phillies now. So I'm loving

326
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: talking about all this stuff with you guys, because I

327
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: know the way it ended, you know, was brutal and all.

328
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 4: But you know, give me a lot more Phillies baseball.

329
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: I think they're likely to have a very good team again,

330
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: and I just love talking about this stuff.

331
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely mean, you're gonna have a good team.

332
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: They're gonna play in October again next year.

333
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: They are. And again that's part of my theory of

334
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: why you don't necessarily have to have Schwarber. I very

335
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 4: very much want them, but.

336
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: But you need someone to pick up the power and

337
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: the threat.

338
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: And the protect in the lineup for the for the

339
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 4: other left handed bat. I mean, for the first basement.

340
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: I'm fine with replacing them, as long as I got

341
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: something pretty darn good.

342
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: I'd like to see some creativity in the outfield, for sure.

343
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: CASTI Onix won't be back. You know, It's funny, Joe

344
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: when you said the one two or Reuben, I think

345
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: he said one two three I didn't even think you

346
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: were talking about Ranger because I just considered him as

347
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: good as gone. I'm thinking you're talking about Harrison Bader

348
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: and that in that sense. So that's where I'm going.

349
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I think Rangers is good is gone. The

350
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 2: Dylan C's contract has him gone seven years, two hundred

351
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: ten million. I mean, it's a great, great week for

352
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: Ranger last week in that regard, but I'm thinking they

353
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: they got to figure out something to do in the

354
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: outfield because the outfield production has been pretty bad and

355
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: I don't think he can go into the next season.

356
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: Go and Justin Crawford's gonna hit three point fifteen with

357
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: an eight hundred ohps. I think you're gonna hit him ninth.

358
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: Hopefully he can do enough stuff to stay in the lineup,

359
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: but I want to see a good bat either in

360
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: centerfield or in right field.

361
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: Well, I agree, but I'll add this when you bring

362
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 4: up Crawford and you think about Aiden Miller and others,

363
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 4: you know, whether it's next year or beyond, the reality

364
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 4: is they are going to need some of these guys

365
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: to come through. And you know, I'm just thinking about

366
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 4: it as you guys are all talking there, I guess,

367
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: unless I'm missing someone, I think Stott is the last

368
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: quality player. And when I say quality, like average player

369
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 4: that they brought up from the farm system prior to that,

370
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 4: I guess it would be Boom in twenty twenty. So

371
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: you're now talking about being halfway through a decade. And

372
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 4: unless I'm missing someone, I guess this decade it's really

373
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 4: only been Stock and Boom and that's really not much.

374
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: Am I missing anybody? I don't think I am right

375
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 4: in the position of the any of the arms or

376
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 4: what have you.

377
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: Not.

378
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: Really they were all pre pre the decade or were

379
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 4: brought in from outside. Okay, Kurt Listen deserves credit for

380
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: being a guy that you just said this decade. But

381
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: the point the point is that's not much. For half

382
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 4: a decade in that's not much. And that's where you

383
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: really can't start getting into trouble. And you know, they

384
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 4: got to get some hits there. They got it. They

385
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: got to get some hits. So it's appealing to trade

386
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 4: guys away, but we also know that to keep this

387
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 4: thing going for the long, long haul, a lot of

388
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 4: times you just need those farm system guys to be

389
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 4: the next generation.

390
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you look at the old eight team, it

391
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: was largely built, it was all it was all through

392
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: the draft, scouting development. I'd even put Victorino on that

393
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: list because he was a good pluck in the Rule

394
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: five and then he went to Triple I and became

395
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: the MVP of the internationally, he was finished off by

396
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: their player development system.

397
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, I guess, And I would just add this,

398
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 4: there's never, to the best of my knowledge, there's never

399
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 4: really been a second consecutive wave of great farm system

400
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: guys in the history of the Phillies. Now maybe I'm

401
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: missing it, but I'm thinking back to the seventies that

402
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: created eighty you know, and pretty much created eighty three,

403
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: and there was some some tinkering that created eighty three,

404
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 4: but it wasn't like the Kevin Gross, Charlie Hudson, even

405
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 4: Lonnie Smith who was te you know, it was gone after,

406
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 4: you know, soon after eighty and Keith Moreland, like, they

407
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: didn't become the new nucleus. And you know, certainly after

408
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: Reuben your squad in eight, nine, ten eleven, there was

409
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: no new nucleus. So they need they need another wave.

410
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: That's how that's how you keep Look, there's only two

411
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: ways to keep it going. One as you spend like

412
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, or two as you have another wave. I

413
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 4: guess three is you have you know, like the Brave Side,

414
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 4: perhaps the greatest pitching staff in the last fifty years,

415
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 4: and they all stay healthy for fifteen years. But you

416
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 4: know what are the chances of that? Yeah?

417
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean all you gotta do is look at the

418
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: Yankees and see what they did in the nineties. I

419
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: mean that they're nucleus were Yankees. I mean you had Persada,

420
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: you had the short Stop, you had Jeter.

421
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: You had Bernie, Bernie Williams.

422
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: I mean, they're all had had it, but they also

423
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 4: had But I will say this, will I hear you

424
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 4: on that. You know they also have that ability to

425
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: really throw this at you too, Carrats And I think

426
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: that was, frankly the bigger thing, I really do, because

427
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 4: think about how quick that list just ran out. Rube.

428
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 4: You said four, and they're four truly great ones. But

429
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: I mean they they were. They were bringing in waves

430
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: of current or former All Stars every year. You know,

431
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 4: it was unbelievable to add to that piece.

432
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: And most teams are built that way. You gotta you know,

433
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: there's a lot of players that are drafted by one

434
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: organization don't become stars, so they're second organization. So if

435
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: you can get no doubt you two or three home

436
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 3: grown own supplement around the edges. That's, you know, how

437
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: you build a team.

438
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: And I'll say I think keep, I think Lizardo maintaining

439
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 4: let's call it quality or excellence, whatever word you want

440
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: to put next to his name, and being signed is

441
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 4: a really important part because he's still a pretty young

442
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: player for what I would call the next generation. I mean,

443
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: at some point Wheeler is not going to be here.

444
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: I think we all feel pretty darn confident in Sanchez,

445
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: but you know you're gonna need especially as Nola lags,

446
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 4: there's uncertainty with Wheeler. You're probably gonna lose Ranger. You

447
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 4: don't truly know what you have in Painter until he

448
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: pitches at the big league level. So to me, Lozardo

449
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: is a very important figure to you know, And I

450
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 4: will tell you guys, I do think there's an argument,

451
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 4: and I don't think they'll really have the guts to

452
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: truly do it, but I think there's an argument to

453
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 4: go to Lozardo right now and his agent and say

454
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 4: sign a contract right now, or ile traja and I'll

455
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 4: sign right now because you know you hear about that

456
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: bird in the hand or whatever that's saying is. And

457
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 4: the bottom line is there's an argument in twelve months

458
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: they could be without both Lozardo and Ranger. And part

459
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: of my theory is, like, hey, guys, who wants to

460
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 4: sign first? Who wants to sign first? I mean, they

461
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: could negotiate right now with Ranger and Lozardo simultaneously, knowing

462
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 4: that the objective is to keep one of them long term.

463
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: And if Lozarda doesn't sign, you could say, well, I

464
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 4: can get Ranger and lozardro and trading you for an outfielder.

465
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not that's the kind of creative trade

466
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 4: I'm talking about. That's not crazy talk.

467
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: I definitely think I could see them doing that in

468
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: this spring, Lizardo.

469
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 4: I don't think they'll have the guts though, Todd, because

470
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 4: to me, it's a right now conversation, like it's right now.

471
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 4: You got to tell Lozardo's agent a month ago, like

472
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 4: I'm actually not fooling around. I love you, I want you,

473
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 4: but if you jack me up twelve months from now

474
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 4: to the wall to say, like I might not sign

475
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: here because the Kis are coming call him for an

476
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 4: extra forty million, and I lose you, and I lost

477
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 4: Ranger the prior year, and by the way, I'm about

478
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 4: to the totally lose Wheeler, and Nola's a whole another

479
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 4: year older. And next thing, you know, my pitching staff

480
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: is Christopher Sanchez and Painter and that's it. That's how

481
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 4: you fall out of the playoffs.

482
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they traded able, Ruben.

483
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 4: Do you agree that something, Ruben? Do you agree that

484
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 4: that's something they probably would not have the guts to do.

485
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: Uh, I think that they would consider doing. I don't

486
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: think they're gonna use that ultimatum. I don't think that

487
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: they'll say, hey, you know, we're gonna trade it, because

488
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't think the guy, he's already been traded twice,

489
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: two or three times, so I don't think he gives

490
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: a crap one way or another.

491
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: To be honest, he's.

492
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: Gonna believe it, knowing loves Arno, He's gonna believe in

493
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: himself and say, you know what, I'm gonna pitch my

494
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: ass off anyway, and I'm want to make a bunch

495
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: of money. That doesn't mean you cannot be proactive and

496
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: try to sign the guy prior to get in the spring.

497
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 4: Look, I'm just selling this ribbon. I'm not worried about

498
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 4: Lilizota pitching in twenty twenty six. I'm worried about losing

499
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 4: them after twenty two. Well, I understand that. I get it.

500
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: I like the idea of a good extension. I don't

501
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: think they have misgivings about Rangers long term is durability And.

502
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think because they've had him so long, Joe, No,

503
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: I think that they they know his warts.

504
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 3: So to speak.

505
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: Other teams must just say, you know what, I'm okay

506
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: with him just throwing one hundred and sixty innings. I'm okay,

507
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: don't throw one hundred and fifty innings.

508
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 4: We'll deal with it. Well fair, But I'll tell you this,

509
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 4: his warts are not why they've ever lost in the postseason, no.

510
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: Doubt, Oh no, no.

511
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: And that's and that's what and that's what our man.

512
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 4: You know, Scott Morris is going to be pounded on.

513
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 4: He pounded on durability with season.

514
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna pound on that that quality with the with Ranger,

515
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: and that's why he's going to make so much glue yep.

516
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: I I'd be very surprised if they don't approach Bizardo

517
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: before opening down after they clear up the winter stuff.

518
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: It just seems like it would make sense based on

519
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: the fact unless they feel like he's got a long

520
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: term issue with his health. But if they feel comfortable

521
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: with his health, I would assume that there'll be they're

522
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: smart enough to understand like how important he's gonna be

523
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: as part of the piece of the puzzle.

524
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: I hear you.

525
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 4: I'm just differentiating the difference between before opening day and

526
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 4: right now.

527
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: Yep.

528
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: Right, Joe, you were a man of that was that

529
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: was great. But I want to ask you about the book.

530
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: You're you're man. You're a man of many talents, as

531
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 2: we many talents. You you're you're fantastic on the radio.

532
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: You're an athlete.

533
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: Thank you, don't now down, Todd, Now you're all down,

534
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 4: keep going.

535
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: And now you're an author.

536
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: Quit it.

537
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: I mean you have a busy schedule. Yeah, why'd you

538
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: want to write this book? Tell us about this book?

539
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate the platform to talk about it as

540
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 4: I wanted to write the book because my nephew, who

541
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: at the time was about nine or ten years old

542
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: did not know who doctor J was. Wow, that was Jim.

543
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 4: That was outrageous. You know, this goes yeah, this goes

544
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: back to It hurt my heart. It stunned me. You know,

545
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 4: it was actually a fascinating exchange because we were talking.

546
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 4: This goes back over ten years ago. He's in his

547
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 4: twenties now, but we were we were in a conversation

548
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 4: about basketball, and I can't tell you I remember every aspect,

549
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 4: but I just know we were talking about multiple players

550
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 4: and we're moving fast and we're going back and forth

551
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: and I say doctor J. And I keep going and

552
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 4: I get a glazed look on his face, and you know,

553
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 4: I was like, whoa you? You don't know who doctor

554
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 4: J is?

555
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: Do you?

556
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: So?

557
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: You know? And of course he like when I say,

558
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 4: he literally didn't. I mean he know, like as an

559
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 4: actual doctor, why is there a doctor? Is it? Who

560
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: is it? Or what? What is a doctor? J? Made

561
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: me like what is it? I mean, don't even know

562
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: what it is. If you don't know, you don't know.

563
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 4: So it struck me. And then a couple of weeks later,

564
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 4: I was in my mom's basement and uh, I came

565
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: a us this tremendous book from the nineteen seventies. I

566
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 4: never know about it growing up, my older siblings would have.

567
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: And it was on the greatest athletes of the first

568
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 4: you know, seventy years of the twentieth century. And it

569
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 4: was a book primarily geared for younger fans. And so

570
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: this was Jim Thorpe and Jesse Owens and Babe and

571
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: Joe Dee and you know, Wilton, all these amazing figures.

572
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 4: And I thought, Wow, what a book. And each chapter

573
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 4: was kind of short and just said like, here's Jackie Robinson,

574
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 4: like boom here, you know, and then here's and you

575
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 4: moved to then here's Rocky Marciano. It's just boom, boom, boom.

576
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 4: And I thought, what a book. And then I remember

577
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 4: the conversation I'd had with my nephew, and I thought,

578
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 4: you know what, I think this is a book I

579
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 4: can actually write, you know, for Philadelphia sports and for

580
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 4: younger Philadelphia sports fans. So that that was the impetus

581
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 4: behind it, and you know, I ended up bringing it

582
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 4: into sixty six you know stories, thirteen on the on

583
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: the Phills, I think, thirteen or twelve on the Eagles,

584
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 4: and ten or eleven on the sixth and Flyers and

585
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 4: some other stuff like Joe Frazier and Kathy Rush and

586
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 4: you know Villanova's championships and Cheney and you know Saint

587
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 4: Joe's team from twenty years ago and all this great stuff.

588
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 4: And so the idea was, look, I encourage adults, certainly

589
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 4: certainly to consider purchase for yourself and for other adults.

590
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 4: I am convinced it'll totally work for adults, because it's

591
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 4: not the cat and the hat. It's written for ten

592
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: and up, but it's like a newspaper, Like a newspaper

593
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 4: can be read by a fourth grader, can be read

594
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: by a ninety year old. And so I wrote it

595
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: sort of in that sort of simple style, but one

596
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 4: that works for adults but really is primarily geared for

597
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: the younger folks, and say to them, this is who

598
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 4: Reggie White was, this is Mike Schmidt, this is the

599
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 4: ninety three pills, This is the sixty Eagles with Ben

600
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 4: and Erek by the way, this is the twenty twenty

601
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 4: four Eagles with Saquon, you know, right on through that championship,

602
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: and just say, this is this is our history. This

603
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 4: is the stuff we should be most proud of. And

604
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: that was that was the idea.

605
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm enjoying it. And you have all the essentials,

606
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 3: you know, all the essentials, and I like that you

607
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: kind of you mentioned the Jamier team, did you, Jeria

608
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: Nelson team and Monet Davis totally. You have a few

609
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: smarty Jones, Yes, yeah, yeah, I like I like that

610
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: stuff so and I love a good human story. That's

611
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: really cool. Anecdote about this is a gift to your nephew, Well.

612
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate that, Jim. And you know, I initially

613
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 4: called it a tribute to philadelph or Philly sports, a

614
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: tribute to Philly sports. And it's funny that the publisher

615
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: thought that word tribute might be a little high flutine,

616
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 4: you know, for a book that's geared to a younger folks.

617
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: And I thought, yeah, it makes sense. You're right. So

618
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 4: we settled on the best of Philly sports, which is

619
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 4: what it is. It's the best of Philly sports. And

620
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: I was really happy with how it came out. And yeah,

621
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: I would really just encourage the adults watching to consider

622
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 4: it not only for yourselves, but really if you have

623
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 4: kids or grandkids, nieces and nephews. I mean, it can

624
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: be read to a six year old. It can be

625
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 4: read by in nine or a ten year old. I

626
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: think it's totally wheel house for twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen

627
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 4: years old. I would have loved this book as a kid,

628
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: you know, reading about the exploits of the Total Package

629
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: back in the day.

630
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: So I just think the cool thing about it is

631
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: you're right, it's not Cat and the Hat, but it's

632
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: also brings you back and gives you I mean as

633
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: an adult, it gives you those memories again. Man, it

634
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: takes you back to that, to those spaces that you

635
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: really enjoyed and you loved about, you know, filled up

636
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: your sports it's you know some of these is like

637
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: some of the things that happened here with the various

638
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: teams or the reason why you became a filled up

639
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: your sports fan listen, I had to row up in

640
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: the city, so that that's a cool thing for me.

641
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 4: I appreciate that, Ruven, And I think you know, people

642
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: that are hardcore sports fans, you're going to know most

643
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 4: of it. Certainly, there's some things that you know maybe

644
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 4: you don't know even if you're a hardcore fan. I'll

645
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: give you a couple for instance, when the Eagles won

646
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl A couple of months ago, they find

647
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 4: tied the Philadelphia A's for the most championships in the

648
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: history of Philly sports in the in the four main leagues.

649
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 4: So the Flyers, UH, Sixers, and Phillies are all at

650
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 4: two championships. The A's had five and they haven't existed

651
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: for seventy something years, and the Eagles just tied them.

652
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 4: So the Eagles have tied the A's. That's a fact.

653
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 4: I'll give you another fact. A lot of people probably

654
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 4: don't know this. You know, many people would know about

655
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: Kathy Rous and Maculotta. But what they may not know

656
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 4: what was so big about that? That was the first

657
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 4: and this is something people should really be proud of.

658
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 4: That was the first three championships in college women's college

659
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 4: basketball history, you know, the first. And by the way,

660
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: if you said to the average if you say to

661
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: someone who doesn't really know that story, you know, do

662
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 4: you do you know that a team locally won the

663
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 4: first three women's college basketball national championships? Well they would

664
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 4: say no, and then they'd say, Okay, which Big five

665
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 4: school did it? And it wasn't. I mean it was

666
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 4: a Macilotta. They won three consecutive in the first three ever,

667
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: So just a lot of a lot of stuff that

668
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 4: hopefully people find interesting and entertaining and and all that

669
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: good stuff.

670
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: Give I'll give you.

671
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 4: I'll give you another one because a lot of this

672
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 4: I knew before writing it, But this one I did

673
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 4: not know. The Philadelphia Warriors first NBA champion ever. Did

674
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: you guys know that? No? I did not know that. Yeah,

675
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: for the first So it's a little convoluted because two

676
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: leagues actually came together merge. That's sort of an NBA

677
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 4: ABA thing and NFL AFL sort of thing. So there

678
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: were two different legs and they merged, and in the

679
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 4: in the way they merged, there was a an idea

680
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: of Okay, this this team from like a year or

681
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: two before that is the one that we're going to say,

682
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 4: this is when the NBA started, and that's the team

683
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 4: that won the first one. So, you know, just just

684
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: all sorts of stuff and to me, just points of pride.

685
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 4: And you know, whether it's the ninety one Eagles defense

686
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: or you know, the Phillies finally winning an a I

687
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 4: mean the ninety eighth year, the ninety eighth year it

688
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: took for the Phillies to win the World series, all

689
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 4: sorts of stuff like.

690
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: That, and it's basic. It's most basic though as an author,

691
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: is it is it cool to get that box of

692
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: books and open it up for the first time?

693
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: And what was that?

694
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: That's cool? Right? I mean, you know, you get you know,

695
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: you know it's cool. You know. Yeah, it's It's.

696
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 4: An amazing feeling, it really is. It's a great feeling.

697
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's you feel you feel proud that when

698
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 4: you hold that book and you finally hold it. Yeah,

699
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 4: it feels good. It feels really good.

700
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Do you have any book signings coming up before

701
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: the holidays that you can tell us about. I don't know.

702
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 2: I know you've done some I do.

703
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I got to think of this all

704
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 4: the top of my head. I did an event last

705
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 4: night with Joe Conklin, Glenn and Ray So I will

706
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 4: be on Saturday at at the Wheelhouse in Wayne. So

707
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: it's really cool sports store right there in Lancaster Avenue.

708
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 4: Trying to rifle through this in top of my head.

709
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 4: It's hard to remember them all. But there's a variety

710
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: coming up, you know what I would say, So for

711
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 4: people interested, I would say a few things. One of

712
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 4: course is available on Amazon dot Com. Sure, it's also

713
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: available in Barnes and Noble. It's also available in a

714
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 4: lot of neighborhood stores. Now, frankly, I still want to

715
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 4: get it in more neighborhood stores. And really I want

716
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: to connect and I need to. I just it's a

717
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 4: matter of time. I need to connect with the stores

718
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 4: like Target and all these big stores cvs like these

719
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 4: are the kind of stores Frankly I want to get

720
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 4: in it, get it into because I think they're they're

721
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 4: really important type because you know, everybody goes into a pharmacy.

722
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 4: I mean everybody needs to, and so I want to

723
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 4: go into those kind of stores. And so I still

724
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 4: got to do some work. A lot of this will

725
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: go into twenty twenty six. The other thing I'd say

726
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 4: is if anyone watching wants to put together an event,

727
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 4: I'd be happy to be there. And also if anyone watching,

728
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 4: there's only you know, about two or so weeks left

729
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: before you know, the holidays are kind of like boxed up.

730
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 4: But you know, if you want to purchase it for

731
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 4: your employees, I can do that. I can sign them.

732
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 4: So if you buy it off Amazon, obviously I can't

733
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 4: sign them because they get shipped directly to you. But

734
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 4: you know, if you want to contact me, I can

735
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 4: sign in bulk. You know, if you have employees that

736
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 4: you might want to give it to them as a

737
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 4: honicare Christmas gift. I'd be happy to do that, and

738
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 4: I have an email set up for that, which is

Speaker 3: you just hammer people in trivia.

761
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: Well, the actual uh beginning point forward was because I

762
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 4: was known for asking tough questions in press conferences.

763
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 3: That's w Yeah, Well we came up with a few

764
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: trivia questions for you. We know you just recently won

765
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,520

Speaker 3: Kurt Schilling.

790
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: Wow, I didn't know Shill was Alaska.

791
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 3: I should have known that his dad was in the

792
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: Middlitary top them.

793
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't feel shame with having missed these. I

794
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 4: just went the world.

795
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna kind up there, Okay. Who who

796
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 3: did Ruben Amaro Junior beat out for the final roster

797
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 3: spot coming out of spring training in nineteen ninety seven?

798
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 4: Wow? Well, I will make a point before answering that

799
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 4: to say, Tony Longmire beat him out of ninety three

800
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 4: for the playoffs. And it's still a travesty. Yes, and

801
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 4: no offense meant to Tony. But Ruben deserved to be

802
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 4: on that team and it would have helped the squad

803
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: if he was appreciate that. I mean it, I mean it.

804
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 4: So who did Ruben beat out for the final spot

805
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 4: in ninety seven. I'm going to say Lenny Tony Baron

806
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 4: barn Well Tony Barron in nineteen ninety six made the

807
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 4: best defense seven or was it ninety seven or ninety six?

808
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 4: Ninety seven? Not catch ninety seven made that catch that

809
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 4: was incredible. So ninety seven, by the way, is when

810
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: Lenny that was it, right? That was when he, like

811
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 4: that retired. I think he officially retired. Maybe that spring training,

812
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 4: wasn't it that spring training? Next one?

813
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 3: I think ninety eight, I can't remember. Is in there

814
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 3: some way? It was quite a spring they had acquired

815
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 3: uh Glanville and yeah, I was trying to make a

816
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: comeback and it was interesting. Ninety seven or ninety eight.

817
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 4: Jim would you say that Lenny and and Doug Lanville

818
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 4: have different personalities?

819
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 3: I believe it. You should be able to get this one. Uh,

820
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: I mean, who was the Phillies all time leader in triples?

821
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 4: Well, don't know with the first two names that come

822
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 4: through my mind are Richie or Jimmy, So I will

823
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 4: go with probably played comparable years, but Jimmy might have

824
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 4: played a little longer. I'm gonna go with Jimmy.

825
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: Robbins Ed Delahanty, Jimmy, Wow, all right, Todd gave me

826
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 3: this one. This is a good one. It's a good one.

827
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 3: I like this one.

828
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 4: This is now getting shameful, bro, These are not easy.

829
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 3: Oh, nine to fifteen, right, Todd?

830
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, from two thousand and nine to twenty fifteen, which

831
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: was Rubens's entire run as Phillies general manager.

832
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 3: Right, So Cole ham alost led the Phillies and innings

833
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 3: pitched during that span. Who was second?

834
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 2: Oh, I know that one, you know, Oh, I know

835
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: it all right.

836
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 4: You won't believe it now, I get it. I already

837
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 4: I already discounted Cliff Lee and others thinking that's it's

838
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 4: not Cliff Lee and Holliday because I don't think you

839
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 4: would ask that if is that obvious. So it's a

840
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 4: little bit under the radar. Kendrick would not be that person,

841
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 4: Blanton would not be that person. So it's going to

842
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: be someone more on the back end. So someone that

843
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 4: just was kind of kicking around there. This is really

844
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 4: going to be nine to fifteen. So I'm trying to

845
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 4: think who was on thirteen and fourteen and fifteen. I

846
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 4: know that Hellickson started a couple opening days, But I

847
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 4: don't think it's him, so I'm gonna try to have

848
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 4: you did have him? Yeah, yeah, I thought it was

849
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 4: because it was after Coal. He would have started opening

850
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 4: days after Cole. For the purpose of time, I will

851
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 4: simply say that I honestly don't know who is it.

852
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: Jim.

853
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 4: He said his name, Yeah, which one, Kyle Ken, Kyle Kendrick.

854
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 4: He was around that long.

855
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, all right, two more, It's just two more.

856
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Japan, Ruben, What the hell is any think we

857
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 4: are crushing the hammer?

858
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 3: By the way, all right, going back in time.

859
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 4: Which, by the way, Jim, just for the record, just

860
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 4: so you know, every trivia question ever asked goes back

861
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 4: in time.

862
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 3: It doesn't true, true, true, This is gonna go way

863
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 3: back compared to the other ones.

864
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 4: You guys like that one. I kind of got. Yeah, good,

865
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 4: which otherwise it's called a prediction. But go.

866
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: Which position player led the nineteen sixty one phillies in

867
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 3: innings played?

868
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 4: Which position player led the sixty one phillies and innings played?

869
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 4: I mean, you're just killing me here. So Richie was

870
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 4: on the sixty two match and that was his last year,

871
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 4: and before that the Cubs, so it can't be him,

872
00:42:54,840 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 4: So I mean, I'm gonna say he maybe was there

873
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 4: at that point, Ruben Lamar senr. There we go.

874
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna end on that one. You're gonna end on

875
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 3: right there past. Now, that's a great one.

876
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 4: And that was a tough man.

877
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 2: Those are those are some deep dives.

878
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 3: And last it was a good one.

879
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 4: Joe, Well, it was deductive reasoning. You know, hey, guys,
