1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Jesus is our ow and welcome to 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: the Philly Show. Well that was fitting to hear from 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: Jesus Lozardo introducing this episode of the Philly Show, and 4 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: it promises to be an adventurous one. I'm Jim Salisbury 5 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: and I'm joined by Ruben Amaro, and we're without our 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: our intrepid leader today, Todd Zelecki getting some well deserved 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: vacation time. Ruby, do you think we can handle this? 8 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: I think I can. Jim, I'm not sure about you. 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: Well, neither of mine. I'm gonna do my best. So 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: it's it's time for first pitch and it's sponsored by 11 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: Monster Energy. Let's get right to it. 12 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 2: Unleash the beast, Jim, unleash it. 13 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Unleash that beast Monster Energy. We're thrilled to have him 14 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: with us. I'm addicted to that stuff. Any rubin, The 15 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: Phillies have come home after a three and three trip, 16 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: and you know they're They do clean up on some 17 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: mediocre teams, but you know, I'm of the opinion you 18 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: got to beat them all the teams in front of you. Yes, 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: they have struggled against first place teams, most recently lost 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: the series in Milwaukee, but you can only play the 21 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: team in front of you that night. And they've gone 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: out and they've swung it well against Miami in the 23 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: first two games Monday and Tuesday night. And they've pitched 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: it well, especially starting pitching with Zach Wheeler and Hayes 25 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Louis Lozardo. What are you seeing? 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: So nothing is better for a team than quality starting pitching. 27 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: This sort of get you going. Obviously the offense has 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: been inconsistent, but it was really swinging the bat well 29 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: so far in this two game series. The most impressive 30 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: part about it is to me, is Zach Wheeler coming 31 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: back from tos and being so good. I mean, he's 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: really outstanding, and he's a guy that the reality of 33 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: it is that he's not even happy about his performances 34 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: and he's still throwing zero's up there. I know that 35 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: the Miami ball club came in playing pretty good baseball. 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: They had gone through a cold streak for a while 37 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: and then got hot, but the Phillies came back and 38 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: they're starting to play much better at home, which is 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: important for them because they had been struggling at home 40 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: early in the season. But the performances by Wheeler and 41 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: Lozardo sort of set the tone and the fact that 42 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: these guys started to swing the bats. It's hitting season, 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: the ball is traveling. You're seeing a lot of more 44 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: production from a lot of guys in the lineup, and 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: anytime you can get some of these big boys, these 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: starting pitchers, a lead that can really calm things down 47 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: because they they don't spit the bit. The guys like 48 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: Sanchez and Wheeler and even Lozardo, those guys do not 49 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: spit the bit, and you get them a lead that 50 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: can settle them in and let them do their thing, 51 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: which they have done extremely well in the first two 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: games of this series. 53 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: You're right on Wheeler to me, and we've talked about it, 54 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: but it's a remarkable story. He's recently turned thirty six. 55 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: For him to come back and do the things he's 56 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: done is just a great sign. Lozardo signs the big 57 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: extension in spring training. The stuff, I mean, you love 58 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: the stuff. We love the sweeper, love the power fastball. 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: That said, there is some inconsistency there, head scratching lee, 60 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: if that's a word. Struggles at home, pitches better on 61 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: the road, at least this season. But it was really, 62 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: really encouraging to see him give seven strong innings on 63 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: Tuesday night at home where you know you're gonna pitch 64 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: half few games. Needs to get going. It was really interesting. 65 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: You were on the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast last night, 66 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: and I know you have spent your whole life in dugouts, 67 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: so this is not a big deal. That said, you 68 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: did watch heyesus Lozardo from right behind the backstop. You 69 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: guys were calling the game from right behind the backstop. 70 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: You guys were right behind the catcher. What was that 71 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: vantage point like last night? In particular to watch Lozardo, 72 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: watch that sweeper, watch him go after that Marlins lineup 73 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: really impressive. 74 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: I mean one of the things that you forget when 75 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: you don't get close. When you going into that scouting spot, 76 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: I was felt like a scout again, or was putting 77 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 2: my GM hat or my scout hat on, and you 78 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: get closer to the action, you see the action and 79 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: how good the stuff is. The Thing that impressed me 80 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: the most was his ability to his change up. His 81 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: arm speed on his change up was outstanding. I mean, 82 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: the sweeper is his number one pitch and he's got 83 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: a lot of swings and misses. 84 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: On it. 85 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: He's the batting average against very very low. Obviously, the 86 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: just one of the more effective pitches in his arsenal. 87 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: But I was really impressed by his ability to throw 88 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: his change up pretty consistently, and that's a big weapon 89 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: for him. It had something that sort of elluded to 90 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: him over the last couple of years. But I think 91 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: that's something that was important to him to try to improve. 92 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: He did so and worked on it in the off 93 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: season and spring training, and I think it's it's a 94 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: real effective weapon for him. I mean, he's getting a 95 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: ton of swings and misses on it. The batting average 96 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: against his low. I think he's if he continues to 97 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: use it, he's gonna gain more and more confidence with it. 98 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: And it's a big pitch in his arsenal. I mean, 99 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: you got to get somebody to get off that fastball, 100 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: because it's fastball numbers. You know, you start combining the 101 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: four seemer and the sinker. He's you know, the pumps 102 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: are hitting like three forty against him. I did some 103 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: numbers yesterday, and so he's got to get somebody off 104 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: the fastball so that in some ways can set up 105 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: set up the fastball with his off speed stuff, which 106 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: sounds kind of strange, right, but I think he's starting 107 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 2: to do that. He certainly did that yesterday and it 108 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: was a nice job of pitching. Get get nicked for 109 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: the one home run, but that was late, third time 110 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 2: through the lineup, double home run, but bounce right back 111 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: after that, which is a great sign late in the 112 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: game to be able to get through seven. 113 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: And while we're on the topic of starting pitching, we're 114 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: coming to you on Wednesday morning. We have a really 115 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: quick turnaround. They close out the series Wednesday afternoon against 116 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: the Marlins. Rookie Andrew Painter back on the mound. He's 117 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: had a tough time lately. I think it's fifteen runs 118 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: in his last thirteen innings something like that. He needs 119 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: a confidence builder in a big way. He needs to 120 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: have some success. They you know, they need to They 121 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: need to get more out of the back end of 122 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: that rotation. Nobody expects him to, you know, be be 123 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: you know Roy Halliday and his rookie season, but you 124 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: do need to see progress and and it will be 125 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: really good for everybody, I think, to see for him 126 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: to show some progress on Wednesday afternoon when he opposes 127 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra obviously that they don't go head to head, 128 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: but you know they don't. But al Contra is you know, 129 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: he's a tough assignment for the offense. But anyway, give 130 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: me your what you're seeing from from from Painter lately 131 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: his fastball gets hit as well at times it's a 132 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: head scratcher. But I just look at a kid. He 133 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: you know, I was in Milwaukee for his last start 134 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: and he really looked dejected after that game. And this 135 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: is a kid who wants to be good and wants 136 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: to contribute. What do you kind of how do you 137 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: size him up as we just as we go into 138 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: this series finale just in a few hours. 139 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that the team has been trying to finagle different 140 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: things with him and making make some adjustments. After his 141 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: very first start as a Philly, he won that game. Obviously, 142 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: after that, it's been a bit of a struggle for him. Uh, 143 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: they've mixed up his pitch usage, they've done you know, 144 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: they've used openers for him. They had to do it 145 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: one time because he was you know, he had an ailment, 146 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 2: he had the you know, the migraines and then and 147 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: then a couple of starts ago, they started with an 148 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: opener for him with with with Banks. So they've tried 149 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: to sort of ease him into some things, to try 150 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: to make things a little bit less taxing on him. 151 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: The bottom line is this, he needs to drive his 152 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: fastball to the right spots. He is not putting it 153 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: where he needs to. He's leaving it up in the zone. 154 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: He doesn't drive the ball down in the zone consistently 155 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: enough for me. And again, he's got good stuff, there's 156 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: no question about it. The arm strength and all that 157 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: set and the actual pure stuff is great. But in 158 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: the major leagues you have to have command. It's not 159 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 2: just throwing the ball over the plate. That's using quadrants 160 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: of the of the of the plate. He's going through 161 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: some serious young you know, some some you issues, and 162 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: so this is part of all, you know, a development 163 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: of a picture. Not every picture comes to the major 164 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: leagues and just deals. Now. I know he's been famous 165 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: for a long time and there is some concern about 166 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: like the life on his stuff since he has had 167 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: that Tommy John whether that you know, that zip at 168 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 2: the final I don't know if it's mechanical. I feel 169 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: like it's a little bit mechanical for him. He's not 170 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: driving down down the slope as consistently as you like 171 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: to have him. Do you see some balls elevated and 172 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 2: easily seen by hitters, And if that doesn't get straightened out, 173 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to compete at the major league 174 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: level and then develop at the major league level, especially 175 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: when you have this kind of you know, you've been famous, 176 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: you have to There may be a time when he 177 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 2: has to go down. I don't know, there's a lot 178 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: of replacements for him where he has to go down 179 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: and straighten out his mechanical because you can't let him 180 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: continue to fail here. It's not fair to him, and 181 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: it's not fair of the ball club because this is 182 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: a you know, it's a result based team. This is 183 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: a team that's wanting to win a World Series, and 184 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: so this guy, if he does not get to the 185 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 2: point where he's more consistent, they're going to have to 186 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: send him out and get him straightened out. 187 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had trouble with two outs the other night 188 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. I don't know if that's a concentration thing, 189 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: but you know, that's the time to buckle down and 190 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: end that inning and get out of it. So a 191 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: nice little look at starting pitching first two games of 192 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: the series and what to expect on Wednesday. That was 193 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: first pitch, brought to you by our friends at Monster Energy. 194 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: Unleash the Beast. Unleash that Beast, Bold Flavors, legendary kick. 195 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: Stop by your local retailer and grab one before tonight's 196 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: first pitch. Thank you, Monster Energy. 197 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: Unleash it, Jim, unleash your beast. 198 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: Unleash that thing. Alrighty, So, little wrinkle in the lineup 199 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: last night Tuesday, little Brandon marsh in the leadoff hole 200 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: trade turner, a little wrist. Bruce took one off the 201 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: wrist the night before. They expect him to be back 202 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. You know, we'll see maybe it acts as 203 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: a little head clearing for him because he is really 204 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: beat up and really struggling, and you can see it. 205 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: You can just see how it's wearing on him. Spoke 206 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: to him after the game Sunday in Milwaukee and you 207 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: can just see that he wants to do more, and 208 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: obviously he wants to do it. He's a competitor, and 209 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: when you're a competitor and you feel like you're not performing, 210 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: it really eats at you. So we'll see if it's 211 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: a little head clear if he's back in the lineup 212 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, as Don Mountingly said he would, But it 213 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: was an interesting little look with Brandon marsh and leadoff. 214 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: Fawley did a good job. 215 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: He did a really nice job, and you know, I 216 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: think it was one of those things. I know, he 217 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: was lining up back to back to back left handers 218 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: and the question was, well, why would you do that. Well, 219 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: you did it because one of your best three hitters 220 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: at the top of the lineup. That's basically what happened. 221 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: And Marsha's been swinging the bat so well, so nice 222 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: to watch him on Tuesday night watch his overall approach. 223 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: He did end up hitting a home run opposite field. 224 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: It's amazing how much power he has and what he 225 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: can generate. You know, he bats in a little bit 226 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: of a squat, so you don't really realize how tall 227 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 2: the dude is. He's like six three six four. He's 228 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: a big, big man. But he also creates a lot 229 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 2: of bat speed, and it's effortless batspeed right now. So 230 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: the thing that I was really impressed by just watching 231 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: from behind is how easy the swings are. I mean, 232 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: I've been watching it for a while, but he is 233 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: raking fastballs at an unbelievab rate. It's hitting in like 234 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: four hundred on fastballs this year, and it's because he 235 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: is getting to the fastball with ease. And if you 236 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: can do that consistently, obviously you can have a lot 237 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: of success here because the velocities are so high these days. 238 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: I'm so impressed by the ease with which his hand 239 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: are working, super impressive. He's confident at the dish, doesn't 240 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: matter where he hits in the lineup. I think he's 241 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: hitting like seven different spots so far this year. And 242 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: Don Mattingley said, you know what, why don't we get 243 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: our best hitter at the top and see if he 244 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: can get things going. And lo and behold, he hits 245 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: a jack somewhere later on in the game. But he 246 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: does a nice job of leading things off, gets a walk. 247 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: Things start to roll in the first inning and they 248 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: punish Phillips a little bit, who had been who had 249 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 2: pitched very very well earlier this season so far until 250 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: and against the Phillies. But he sort of set the 251 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: tone with a walk, another walk, a couple of runs, 252 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: boom boom, and uh, it's a great move by Don Mattingley. 253 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: Is this something this long term I don't know the 254 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 2: reality of it. Is this, if they do not get 255 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: production out of Turner, they're going to be in trouble. 256 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: They need him to to produce. And that's as simple 257 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: as that. 258 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: You said it. And you know, one of my criticisms 259 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: on this offense has been there, you know, lack of 260 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: on base percentage, lack of traffic on the basis, and 261 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: just don't put enough pressure on opposing pictures. And I'm 262 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: not talking about Jacob Miserawski. Those those guys. You know, 263 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,119 Speaker 1: they're going to have nights like he had Friday night Milwaukee, 264 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: and you just tip your hat. But the majority of 265 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: the pictures you go out you got to go out 266 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: there and put pressure on them. And a lot of 267 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: these pictures that faced the Phillies have easy innings. And 268 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, Tyler Phillips got himself in trouble with some 269 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: walks on Tuesday night. But that's when an offense has 270 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: to smell blood in the water and attack, and that's 271 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: what the Phillies did. Alec Bowman that swing on that 272 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: home run he hit, He's been going good, but he 273 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: really got through that ball and he powered that ball 274 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: like eight rows up he's got. You know, he's a 275 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: tall guy in that particular swing, so a lot of leverage, 276 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: and it's just, you know, it's so good to see 277 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: other people in Harper and Schwarber, you know, deliver for 278 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: this team. We've seen it all year from Marsh and 279 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: now you're getting a little bit more from from Bom 280 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: and stop hit the U and know what out of 281 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: that triple a lot of fifteen runs in two games, 282 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, a really good sign from the offense. 283 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: So the cool thing about the whole Bom home run 284 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: that came after his one at bat, he had a 285 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 2: couple of base runners on I think it was a 286 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: two out situation and he got beat on a fastball 287 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: and he massaged it over the first baseman's head. He 288 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: kept his hands inside of it and picked up a 289 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: huge It didn't hit it hard. I think it probably 290 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: came off the bat at sixty five miles an hour, 291 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: but he flipped it into right field for an RBI. 292 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: And it's sort of a backbreaker. But also that builds confidence. 293 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: Those sort of things. You know, you start thinking about Bom. 294 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: He had such a horrendous start to the season, he's 295 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: second on the team in RBI. That's kind of crazy, 296 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: and he's only, like, I don't know, maybe eight or 297 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: nine behind or maybe less now than Kyle Schwarber, who's 298 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: leading the world in home runs. So and I think 299 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: that that sort of led to the next to bat 300 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: when he powered that home run to left center field. 301 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: I will tell you this, it was a single best 302 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: swing I've seen him take in his entire career for 303 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: the Phillies in my opinion, because he hit he turned 304 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: on a fastball middle in and up, which he has 305 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: not been able to get to in a long time. 306 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: That swing in and of itself can catapult him to 307 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: do some things, because he hit the ball four hundred 308 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: and fifty feet and it was the easiest, smoothest swing 309 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: where he used his hands and got the barrel to 310 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: the ball on the pull side. Wasn't dead pole, but 311 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: he hit the left center and he doesn't do that 312 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: all that often, and it's nice to see him put 313 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 2: that kind of a swing on things. He has been 314 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: outstanding since the first month and a half of the season, 315 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: and he's actually we talked about it how important he 316 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: was to this ball club and the right you know, 317 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: everybody's been talking about right handed bats and right handed bats. Well, 318 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: guess what they have Trade Turner and they have Alec Bohm. 319 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: They're both right handed bats, and that they get rolling 320 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: this team, then the needs may change a little bit, 321 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: because if they really do start get rolling, then then 322 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: there's your trade there is your impact players. Because sometimes 323 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: your impact players have to come from within. In twenty ten, 324 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 2: twenty eleven, there were times when guys were storing swinging 325 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: the bats, and all of a sudden they became Jimmy 326 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 2: Rollins became himself, utly became himself. Howard became himself. And 327 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 2: if those guys start to do that more consistently, then 328 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: your needs at the trade deadline may change. It's taken 329 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 2: a long time, it's been frustrating as hell to watch 330 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 2: them develop. But if at the end of the day 331 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 2: they start finishing the way that you know, you sort 332 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 2: of hope that they do the Turners and the bones 333 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 2: and the starts of the world, then this could be 334 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: a really formidable lineup. Because what I've seen lately, especially 335 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: in the Milwaukee Series, is the back end of that 336 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 2: lineup is starting to do some things. And if they 337 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: can do it and Rio Muto is another guy, another 338 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: right handed bat. If he can get going a little bit, 339 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: you know, he fits his start so we'll have a 340 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 2: great game and then punch out a few times. But 341 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 2: he's starting to produce some some offensively as well. But 342 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: really good signs from Bowman particular, great signs from Scott 343 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: as well, as you said. And if those guys get rolling, 344 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 2: then those are your right handed bats. 345 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. JT's hit a couple of big home runs lest 346 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: since Milwaukee, one at home, one in Milwaukee. He hit 347 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: hit that ball in Milwaukee a ton. But you're right 348 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: about that swing bomb took. I mean, this is a 349 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: guy who's always had good bat to ball, you know, 350 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: had a bit of an inside out swing. I think 351 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: it was an inside out swing, which is fine. Contact 352 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: swing uses the whole field, particularly that right center field gap. 353 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: And now it's just you know, when you see a 354 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: swing like that last night, you're seeing a guy who's 355 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: learning how to use the bat head. And sometimes power 356 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: comes later for guys. I think of, you know, just 357 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: off the top of my head, how Jose Bautista really 358 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: learn to become a big power hitter. And I'm not 359 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: suggesting Alec Bohm's ever going to be that guy. But 360 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: he's a guy who knows how to drive in a 361 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: run and if he can add power to his resume 362 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: here in the short term, because I'm not sure he's 363 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: back here next year, but over the next four months, boy, 364 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: the Phillies could really really use his bat. Give me 365 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: your professional opinion. How worried are you about Trey Turner? 366 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: And you know Don Mattingley always says, and he says 367 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: it about bomb hitters are going to hit. Trey Turner 368 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: is a batting champion, two of them. When's he gonna hit? 369 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: Is he gonna hit at? You worried? 370 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: I'm obviously a little worried because of the production. But 371 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: this is a guy that has been in off kilter 372 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 2: for a lot of the season, and in particular the 373 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks really bad, just ahead of the 374 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: breaking ball, behind the fastball in between. Very sweepy swing, 375 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: not not a very direct swing. He's sort of north, 376 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: he's sort of east west with a swing instead of 377 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: north south. I don't see him driving through the baseball 378 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 2: and staying behind the ball. But this guy's too talented 379 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: a player, and he's not old, and he's still super athletic. 380 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 2: He'll get back I think, to where he can be. 381 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 2: But I think that this in a lot of ways, 382 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: this little wrist bruise is like great timing because I 383 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 2: would have sat the guy for two or three days. 384 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: We talked about this. He just needs to get away 385 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: from him for a little while because he's a grinder man. 386 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: You talked about it earlier. This guy wants to be good. 387 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: It's not like he's out there trying to, you know, 388 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: just eating up the contract. This is a guy who's 389 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: got a lot of pride in his game and they 390 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: need him. So I think it's a matter of him 391 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: just backing off a little bit. I mean every single 392 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: time in between at bats, you see him looking on 393 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 2: the iPad and what it was my swing like, and 394 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 2: where was the pitch and all that stuff, And I 395 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 2: just think it's at some point you got to take 396 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 2: the grind out and just let him. He just needs 397 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: to be Trey Turner, the athletic player that I saw 398 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 2: at NC State with an unbelievable with unbelievable bat speed 399 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: and unbelievable leg speed, and just fled his athleticism take 400 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: over because at some point it will. But the Phillies 401 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: need him, and they need him now, and they need 402 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: him from now until the end of October. 403 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're so right about that and the need 404 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: for a right handed bet. If Alec Bohm can continue 405 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: this and Trey Turner can join the party, they will 406 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: go a long way to solving that issue. Hey, Phillies fans, 407 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: you already know that this team trusts the best, and 408 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: when it comes to orthopedic care, that means Rothman Orthopedics. 409 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: Talking to my neighbor the other day, just had his 410 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: knee done at Rothman's, feeling like a million bucks. Ruben 411 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: Rothman was named number one physician practice nationally by Castle 412 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: Connolly for having the most top doctors in orthopedic care. 413 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: That's the level of expertise keeping your Phillies in top 414 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: form all season long, and whether you're dealing with a 415 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: weekend injury or something that's been nagging you for months. 416 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: Rothman makes it easy to get seen fast.

Now, speaking 425 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: of injuries and and and Rothman fixes these guys up. 426 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: We see the Rothman team around, that team around the 427 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: club all the time. Real good people, Doctor Steve Carhen 428 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: and his guys, I mean. 429 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: One of the best teams. I will tell you that 430 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: you know these guys. They they've done a heck of 431 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: a job. It's it is. We've talked about this a 432 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: little bit. It is an aging team, one of the 433 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: older everyday lineups in baseball, and they've done a really 434 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: good job, knock Wood of keeping these guys on the field. 435 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: Paul Bukite, who is sort of like runs the show. 436 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: I had him in Boston as a PT. I believe 437 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: he's fantastic, And all the people have off been really obviously, 438 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: very very supportive. And I've had a lot of work 439 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 2: done at Rothman as well myself. So a great team 440 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: and done a heck of a job. And I think 441 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 2: you're leading us into the issue that we've had with 442 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 2: mister brad Keller. Right, he's got a little bit of an. 443 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: Issue going on right now, Yes, sir, And it's funny Ruben. 444 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: As a reporter, you have instincts. And he struggled on 445 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: Saturday night big time. And you know, one of the 446 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: first questions you ask, is he healthy? Right? 447 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: And he had it. 448 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: It was this up and down ending like they were 449 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: knocking him all over the lot. He was walking people. 450 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: He wild pitched in a run like two walks, three 451 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: hits all of a sudden, like a five run game 452 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: is a one run game, or four run games a 453 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: run one run game. And then he gets the two 454 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: biggest outs of the game. He gets there are three 455 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: and four hitters with two men on base to preserve 456 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: a nine to eight win. It's like that was ugly, 457 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: but you know what, still a win and he got 458 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: two big outs. So you're wondering, you know, he's been inconsistent. 459 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: Is he healthy? Everybody says, oh, yeah, he's healthy. The 460 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: next day, Sunday morning, I see him in the clubhouse 461 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: and he has like a I couldn't tell if it 462 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: was a heating pad or if it was cold. I 463 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: think it was heat but it was kind of a 464 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: bulky thing on his elbow four arm area, and I 465 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: actually approached him asked him, and he said, no, I'm fine. 466 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: It's just I'm fine. Everything's fine, so you know, but 467 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: the next day it was a two days later, I 468 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: l with a forearm, so obviously something was there. He was, yeah. 469 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: So I'm always afraid when I hear about forearms because 470 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: sometimes they are really just kind of signed that something 471 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: else is wrong in the elbow. I hope they can 472 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: flush it out of there. He's an important guy. I 473 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: know he's been inconsistent, but he's a big free agent pickup. 474 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: So I will frame this this way with kind of 475 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: what we just talked about, with the emergence of bone 476 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: and you know, the fingers crossed on Turner and if 477 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: Turner can come around this met next month. I mean, 478 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: and now with Keller down, the uncertainty there. You hope 479 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: he's back, and you hope this is kind of a 480 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: moot point, But do they need to look at the 481 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: bullpen as well? In around the trade deadline? 482 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: I think they have to look at everything, and I 483 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 2: think Dave dem Browski's probably doing that. I mean, the 484 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: one thing that you could probably get more than any other. 485 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 2: Is a rental bullpen piece, right, That's one of the 486 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 2: things that is a little bit more readily available. The 487 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 2: problem is you got seventy five percent of the league 488 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 2: that is still in it. So yeah, you got to 489 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: keep your eyes open on the bats. But the reality 490 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: of it is there ain't too many teams giving up bats, 491 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 2: and every team needs bats. I mean, look around the league. 492 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: The offense is horrendous. Everybody needs bats, and so I 493 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: don't I just don't know if the Phillies have the 494 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 2: you know, the the talent and or I think money 495 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: why it's not an issue, but they just I just 496 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 2: don't know that there's teams out there that that are 497 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 2: gonna be giving up any bats. So what's the next 498 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 2: best thing you can get? Is it a starting pitcher? 499 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: Is it a bullpen piece? Well, the bullpen piece is 500 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: something you can almost always or at least more readily get, 501 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: so you have to keep that in mind. We all 502 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 2: also talked about this, so Ryan Kirkering has really sort 503 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: of ascended in my mind to the point where he 504 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: can take over that Brad Keller that void. Right now, 505 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 2: I don't know how to react to being an eighth 506 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 2: inning guy and the guy to a bridge to Joan Duran, 507 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 2: which is something that is super important because guys aren't 508 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: throwing nine innings every time out there, and so or 509 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 2: the starters aren't even as good as they are at times. 510 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: So you do need the bridge to Doran. But you know, 511 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 2: I would not be surprised if Dave Dombrowski's not doing 512 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 2: the same thing. Man, You've got to scale everything. You 513 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: have to scan the entire league and if there is 514 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: an arm out there that is available that maybe a 515 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 2: lightning in the bottle guy. Maybe a guy's making a 516 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 2: little bit too much money, you can get him for 517 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 2: a song and hope that he pitches well in that 518 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: in a role, then you got to take a peek around. 519 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, Oriyan's been excellent, excellent coming out guys wo strikeout 520 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: stuff and he will be the guy to get that 521 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: look in the in the Keller spot. But I look 522 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: at the team as having three areas right handed bat, 523 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: bullpen leverage and back end star three needs. And with 524 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: this farm system which is not strong, I would call 525 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: it weak. It's weak. They don't have, you know, a 526 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: lot of chips to cash in here. It might be 527 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: like you know, one one need so and I do 528 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: think they'll continue to evaluate that right until the end. 529 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: Right now, I'm still leaning toward bat but I think 530 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: this Keller thing is definitely something to watch. I want 531 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: to transition a little bit at the start of last 532 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: home stand when when the Padres came in, Phillies were 533 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: two games under five hundred at home. I mean, that's 534 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: just unacceptable that, you know, selling out that place. You 535 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: got to have a whole home field advantage there, And 536 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now they do play they're seventeen 537 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: and twenty I'm sorry, they're twenty one and seventeen at home. 538 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: Now after that home stand, which was very good, Now 539 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: two wins against the Marlins, how important you got to 540 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: win at home. You gotta play good on the road 541 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: if you want to get to where you want to go. 542 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've had a little bit of a struggle, particularly 543 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 2: in the in the playoffs, and this is supposed to 544 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: be a really tough place to play because the fans 545 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: are so aggressive, right, so and so passionate. But I 546 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: think it was working in reverse for a little while 547 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: because the guys weren't hitting, and so I think there's 548 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: some tension there, but I think they're starting to feel 549 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 2: a little bit looser. You're starting to see him swing 550 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: the bats a little bit, you know, when they can 551 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: get out to early leads and put pressure on and 552 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 2: hit home runs, do the things that they need to 553 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 2: do and what they can do early in games, it 554 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 2: gets the crowd into it. It's sort of snowballs in 555 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: the right direction, and I think you're starting to see 556 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: that a little bit more consistently with this ball club 557 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: right now. 558 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: Jim, play an entertaining ball at home.

Every time I hear you say you gotta 585 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: be twenty one, I think of the old PA announcer 586 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: at the Metrodome. I don't know if you remember going 587 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: into the Metrodome, the old place in Minnesota and the 588 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: guy used to say, and I remind you there is 589 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: no smoking in the Metrodome, no smoking. Don't even think 590 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: about it. And he would say, don't even think about it. 591 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: But you know that's funny. He don't even think about it. 592 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: And then you would see Ken Hrbeck at first base 593 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: going no smoking. 594 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: He would do that. That was pretty funny. 595 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 2: You used to do it all the time, man, I 596 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: used to love it. 597 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: I never noticed that, but I loved that, Pa guy, 598 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: no smoking in the Metrodome, don't even think about it. Anyway, 599 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: We're rolling along. So we got a very odd week here. 600 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna finish. Philly's gonna finish up this homestand on 601 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon against one of your favorite pitchers, Sandy Alcantra. 602 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: I know you love pitching. I know you love him. 603 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: I know you keep your eye on him. At the 604 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: trade deadline, he might go help somebody. But after that, 605 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: and I think it's important. I think it's important the 606 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: Phillies go for the Juggler and Andrew Painter have a 607 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: good day. I'm in that. I'm in that mindset. Just 608 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: give me five, Andrew, gimme five, and I'm gonna shake 609 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: your hand. Dan that's why they I'm sorry, but that's 610 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: why they got to split up him and Nola because 611 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: now they're you got two guys that if you can 612 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: get five or six out of and that's gonna tax 613 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 1: the bullpen. So I think they're gonna split up those guys, 614 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: uh in the short term here, No. 615 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so probably, like likely because it puts 616 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 2: a lot of tax attacks that bullpen if they have 617 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 2: if they have two five you know, four or five 618 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 2: and dive type guys. Well, Sandy al Contre is a 619 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: great pitcher, and he's a guy who's sort of finally 620 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 2: gotten to the point where he's over his uh Tommy 621 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 2: John h effective last year at the end of the year, 622 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 2: really effective this year. Likely a trade candidate. But the 623 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 2: Phillies have had some success against him. You know, they 624 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 2: won some you know, some some one run games, They've 625 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: gotten some big hits against him, but they've had really 626 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 2: good pitching matchups. Again, asked him as well. So I 627 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,239 Speaker 2: just hope for Andrew Painter's shake that he can keep 628 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 2: in this ballgame because at the end of the day, 629 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 2: the Phillies had some pretty good numbers against Sandy. We'll 630 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 2: see what happens. 631 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: Sure. And in this odd week I mentioned includes a 632 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: an opening of a series against the Mets. We're finally 633 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: going to see the Mets NL East rival in the 634 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: middle of June. First meeting between the Phillies, and you know, 635 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: it's always it's a great rivalry. I love the rivalry. 636 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: But boy, the Mets are, you know, again having a 637 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: real tough time, huge payroll, way over three hundred million, 638 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: last place in the NL East. They've had some injuries 639 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: in their staff. Lindoor, I mean Burshett, who we paid 640 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: a lot of attention to this winter. Phillies made with 641 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: a big offer. He spurned it, and spurned that offer 642 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: and jumped in with the Mets for forty two million 643 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: per He has been a disappointment. He's playing shortstop now 644 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: because Lindor is out. He hasn't hit that said that 645 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: said in June, he is warming. He's hitting well over 646 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: three hundred in the month of June. But this series, 647 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, it doesn't feel like it has 648 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: the juice I thought it would have back in like 649 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: March when when Bashett went up there and and and 650 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: both these teams had you know, big payrolls and big desires. 651 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the Braves have put their thumbprint on the division. 652 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: Though I will say this, the Phillies are within seven games. 653 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of season to go. The Phillies are 654 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: within seven games. Creep of the Braves. Creepage, creepage, we 655 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: have creepage. But anyway, we're running out of time. Give 656 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: me a little thought on this Mets series, which starts 657 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: on Thursday. Off day on Friday, very odd off day 658 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: on Friday. That's to accommodate your favorite event, the World Cup, 659 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: and then they'll play again on Saturday and Sunday. 660 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, always important to play well against the Mets. Mets 661 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 2: have had the Phillies number a little bit over the 662 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 2: last couple of years for whatever reason that that that 663 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 2: blue and orange uniform has gotten them. So they it's 664 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: important for them to play and it's a good time 665 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 2: for them to play them right now because they're playing 666 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 2: much better baseball, especially offensively, and so looking forward to it. Yes, 667 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 2: it is odd they have that Friday off, but you 668 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 2: know it is World Cup soccer. So that said, again, 669 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 2: really important for them to play good, sound quality baseball, 670 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 2: and with the way they're swinging the bats right now, 671 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 2: it's certainly hitting season of balls carrying. I saw it 672 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 2: happen the last couple of days, and so hopefully the 673 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 2: Phillies can do some damage against the Mets. They're a 674 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 2: much better team. The Mets are not a great team. 675 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: They have talent, but they're banged up and they have 676 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 2: just haven't had a very good year and obviously a 677 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 2: big disappointment in New York. But they got to beat 678 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 2: the teams, as you said, Jim, that they're supposed to beat, 679 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 2: and this is one of them. 680 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: Yep, and then mix in some, start to mix in 681 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: some against the good teams.
