30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes it is tough to talk. I think I told

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: you once one time years ago when I was doing

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: a live hit on an MLB network, Shane Victorino was

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: uh gesticulating behind a garbage can during my live hit

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: and with the girl and uh and I yeah, he

35
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: was keeping it was it was like it was like

36
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: a hard PG thirteen and uh and uh.

37
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: I I almost said something that would have you know,

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 4: I almost ended my career that afternoon.

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: My friends, you can say it.

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: Once, so you can say you could say it once.

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: So I almost said something just uh. And I went

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: up to him afterwards, I said, don't ever do that again.

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: I said, I can't. I said, I can't end my

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: career because you're goofing around behind me. He's like, oh,

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: my bad, my bad.

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: He was very very impish.

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: He was very impish. We love Shane h. Philly's opened

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: a three game series on Friday night in San Diego.

49
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: We asked you, guys uh for questions Philly's questions and

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: we got a lot, and I'm going to start with

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: one right now, with the Parks Casino first pitch. First

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: pitch is brought to us exclusively by our partners at

53
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: Park Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. So here's one that

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: I think is probably the most releable. We got a

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: lot of trade deadline questions, a lot of roster makeup questions.

56
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: This is from LTD. It is what it is on

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: X said, from each of your perspective, one game doesn't

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: force a trade, but how does Tuesday's game change things

59
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: for the Phillies and their bullpen needs? Please, he says

60
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: or she says, without moving Aiden Miller or Justin Crawford

61
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: unless it's top talent. I can't stand hearing about either

62
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: being moved for lesser talent. So in case you guys

63
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: forgot Tuesday night, the Phillies are winning the ballgame, and

64
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: then disaster happens. A Ryan Kirkering is unavailable. He's got

65
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: some Sorenessy reports before the game he's feeling a little sore.

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: The Phillies had thought he might be available, was not

67
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: available regardless. Jordan Romano cleans up a mess in the

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: eighth inning and then they send them back out there

69
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: to pitch the ninth puts a couple of guys on

70
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: about a being about a boom inside the park, three

71
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: run home run walk off. They lose the game. Jordan

72
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: Romano now has a seven point four to four e RA,

73
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: a highest ERA by a Phillies pitcher in his first

74
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 2: thirty six appearances. No one's had a higher ERA ever.

75
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: The last Phillies pitcher have an e RA higher than

76
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: seven in his first thirty six appearances this season was

77
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: actually Brad Lidge in two thousand and nine when he

78
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: had You know, he goes literally the best to literally

79
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: the worst reliever in the span of one season. So

80
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: does one game change anything for the Phillies. You think

81
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: Dave Nebrowski was pounding his fist on the desk saying

82
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: go get him, boys.

83
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: Doesn't doesn't change anything. It just emphasizes and accentuates the

84
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: need for relief, help, leverage, relief, help, shut down, late game,

85
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it. I think they need multiples.

86
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: I think they need a big one and a medium one,

87
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: or a big one and a smaller one. I think

88
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: they need three relievers as I look at this bullpen,

89
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: and I think one might come from within the rotation then,

90
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: but I would like to see them get a big

91
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: arm at the back. But I don't think Tuesday Night's

92
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: game changes that. Dave Debroski knows what they need, so.

93
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: Ipe I'm in the GM in this situation. Here's what

94
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. I'm going to get Jose Albarado back. I'm

95
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: not going to get him back for the playoffs, but

96
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: I am going to get him back. That's one reliever

97
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: for me. I am going to make a trade for

98
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: one good quality back end reliever that can get three

99
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: outs in the seventh, eighth, and ninth consistently or try to.

100
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: That's two relievers. And then I'm going to take one

101
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: of our guys out of our bullpen when we get

102
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, and I'm going to stick that guy

103
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. And that's three relievers. Now, which guy

104
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: that is right now? I don't. I think that the

105
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: first three guys are Wheeler, Sanchez, and Suarez are my

106
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: three starters. If I need a fourth starter, I probably

107
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: would go right now, I would go with that as

108
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: things stands today, because we don't have Nola in the

109
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: rotation yet, I would go fourth starter. I would go

110
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: with Zeus Lozardo. After that, if Nola is pitching well,

111
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: then he becomes my fourth and I put Lozardo in

112
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: the pen. That's how I would do it. That's not

113
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: set in stone. That's just my opinion about how to

114
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: go about it. And that's where you get your third

115
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 1: lever in the playoffs. Cutting out. Now, you're not gonna

116
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: have Alvarado for the playoffs, so you're gonna have to

117
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: use one or two of those guys from the from

118
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: the rotation and throw them into the back end of

119
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: the bullpen or somewhere in the bullpen to try to

120
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: get you some outs. But that's sort of how I.

121
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: Go about it.

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how good Alvarado's I love to get

123
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: two guys. I love to get two guys. I don't

124
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: know how great Alvarado's gonna be, But I think that's

125
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: what they've got to be thinking.

126
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: I mean, he's coming back, but you know, obviously he

127
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: had some help. We saw his numbers spike, his velocity

128
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: and stuff correct. So he's suspended for a PD violation.

129
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: He had some help. So without that help and with

130
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: you know, eighty games off, I don't know what he's

131
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: gonna be. And I think it's naive to think he's

132
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: going to be the same guy he was for the

133
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: first six weeks of the season.

134
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: But I agree with that. But he's going to be

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: better than what he's got right now because you guys

136
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: that are flipping stuff in there and in the back end,

137
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: and Romano has been terrible. You can't you know, no

138
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: where to work around it. He's been bad and inconsistent

139
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: and you know, love the guy, great guy, just not

140
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: hasn't done a good job. And they're they're gonna need

141
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: some people other than Ryan kirkering Strong to do do

142
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: some do some work back there.

143
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: Are you guys comfortable, Uh, the lt D is not

144
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: comfortable giving up Aiden Miller Justin Crawford for a big

145
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: bullpen arm in the back. How comfortable are you guys

146
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: doing that? I mean, I guess obviously it depends, you know,

147
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: you give up a Justin Crawford if you're going to

148
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: get a stud you know, you know if he's going

149
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: to pitch and just dominate. But you know the idea

150
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: of giving them up for David Bednar or something like that,

151
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: that would be I don't know if that would be.

152
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, a tough call because I think Crawford could be

153
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: in play here in Philadelphia and help this team soon.

154
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: So it's a very tough call.

155
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Miller, Whencona is Abele, all

156
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: three of those guys are in play, and probably more

157
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: tight others. I think there's guys that are going to

158
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: be in play. It's as simple as that they're in play.

159
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: You want to get a player to help you, you're

160
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: gonna have to give something up for it. And I

161
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: don't know what else they have down below, like off

162
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: the top of my head, but.

163
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, a ruined Escobar just moved into the MLB pipeline's

164
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: top one hundred. So there's another guy that that he's gone.

165
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah he might he might be. Yeah, I could see

166
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: like ty eight Escobar and and some of those mid

167
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: tier guys that they have, you know, pitching arms and

168
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: stuff like that getting traded. I think they'll try to

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: hold on to Miller and Crawford with with every fiber

170
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: of their being.

171
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: But Abele might be employing and whatever you do gonna

172
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt, but you're gonna you gotta fix this thing.

173
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: You gotta get a shut down arm out in that bullpen.

174
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

175
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: And I am very confident they will because they know

176
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: they have a ticking o'donna on the nucleus of this team.

177
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 3: They know they have a great starting rotation, and they

178
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: know they got to win one.

179
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not trading Ranger Suarez, folks, I'm not training anybody, sir.

180
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Team You're not trading Alec Bohm unless you're gonna replace

181
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: him with a third baseman. You think it's better, it's

182
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: not happening. I mean, Rob Peter to pay Paul Roboma

183
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: is like their four hole hitter. I mean earlier you're

184
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about and I see these crazy, ridiculous, stupid

185
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: ideas that are out there and it makes me go nuts. Okay,

186
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: you can't take from your major league team, Rob Peter,

187
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: to pay Paul just because some guy has a tough

188
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, two weeks or a week, you're integral parts

189
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: of the team and you can't be pulling pieces apart.

190
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: Just don't do it.

191
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: I keep hearing like, trade Rangers Suarez, and it's like,

192
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: it makes no sense to me. You're in it. You're

193
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 3: in it to win the World Series. You need him

194
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 3: to win the World Series. And oh, by the way,

195
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 3: if you traded Rangers Suarez, who is going to be

196
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: a free agent? You're only the only team that's going

197
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: to trade for him is a contender, a team that

198
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: could beat your ass in the World Series or the postseason.

199
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: You're not doing it right.

200
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: It's a great point. Is that is such a great point, Jim.

201
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,240

Speaker 2: me right up. I'm mobile again. I am mobile again,

229
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: Thank goodness. So yeah, Rothman is They are fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

230
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: So Ruben, you mentioned something about like, you know, robbing

231
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: Peter to pay Paul and Alec Bohm. But so here's

232
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: the question I just got and I didn't write down

233
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: who wrote it. I apologize. How creative should the Phillies

234
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: be at the deadline? Eugenio Suarez would definitely help the

235
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,359
Speaker 2: lineup from the Diamondbacks, the slugging third basement from the Diamondbacks.

236
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: But the Diamondbacks they are a game under five hundred

237
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: right now, and they're like four and a half out

238
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: of the wild Card and they've invested all this mine.

239
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: I don't think the diamond Backs are going to do

240
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: a big salary dime type of situation. It's so complicated,

241
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: So I don't think they're going to get that creative.

242
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: That'd be really creative. Any thoughts on that, Yeah, I don't.

243
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, is it possible. I mean it's possible, but

244
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: you end up flipping one guy for another for some

245
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: power and someone who's really super streaky, another very very

246
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: streaky player in Anyo Suarez. He can strike out with

247
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: the best of them for a long period of time,

248
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: and yes he can hit a home run from time

249
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: to time, But would you have contact or power? I

250
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: don't know which way you want to go. You got

251
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: a baby in the background here, guys, baby in a.

252
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: He had an incredible month of June, hit a whole

253
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: bunch of home runs in June. If you want a

254
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: deal for that right handed bat, Suarez, wouldn't Balm have

255
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: to be in that deal or another. He'd have to

256
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: be in another deal.

257
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: Right And I'm not I don't know.

258
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: I to me has a lot of moving parts, and

259
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: I think he's going to the Yankees. Anyway.

260
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: There you go.

261
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

262
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: You know one thing I will say about for fans

263
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: out there and in the trade dead line. I say

264
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: this all the time to people, but you're gonna see

265
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: a lot of tweets and a lot of reports of

266
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: you know, uh, the Phillies are checking in on just Ansert,

267
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: any any late inning reliever. Just put it out there now.

268
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: They're checking in on every late inning reliever. So don't

269
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: go crazy when you hear somebody say the Phillies have

270
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: checked in on erold As Chapman. Don't don't go bananas

271
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: when they hear that they've they've they've been scouting the

272
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: Twins and their late inning relievers. It would be a

273
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: news story. And I say this all the time. It

274
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: would be a news story if it was like, can

275
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: you believe this? The Phillies have not sent a single

276
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: scout to check the Twins bullpen. They have not sent

277
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: a single scout to go check the Pirates relievers Santana

278
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: and Bednar. That would be the story of my friends

279
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: or the Phillies saying, you know what, they haven't even

280
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: called the Pirates or the Twins or any of these teams.

281
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: So just keep that in mind. You're gonna hear a lot.

282
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna see a lot of people to a lot

283
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: of it's nonsense. A lot of it's from people that

284
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: don't know anything. They're just throwing it up against the

285
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: wall to try to build a reputation or whatever. You know,

286
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: Just find who you trust, and then trust people.

287
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: Trying to get if there's a reliever that's a good

288
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: one and it's part of a team that's not contending,

289
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: to be sure that the Phillies have been inquired about

290
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: it with that organization, I mean, it's just it's not

291
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: that tough. I mean we're talking about very very competent

292
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: people and a Hall of Fame put you know, President

293
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: of Baseball Operations. Okay, so the man is gonna go

294
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: do what's necessary to try to get something done. Doesn't

295
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: mean something will get done because it's hard to make trades.

296
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: But the reality of it is, you can be sure

297
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: he's pounded the paper, he'll.

298
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: Get something done. There is enormous, enormous pressure to get

299
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: something done, and a game like Tuesday night just ramps

300
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: up the pressure. They knew what they needed before then

301
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: to answer that first question, but it does ramp up

302
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: the pressure. I wrote down a bunch of names, let's

303
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: do it, and I'm I know they I know they're

304
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: bearing down on all of them, and I probably there's

305
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: probably more, but Sir Anthony Dominguez having a great year,

306
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: Anthony bender Estevez having a great lead in the American

307
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: League and says wouldn't be surprised to see a reunion

308
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: with him. Bautista from Baltimore, Bednar from Pittsburgh, Chapman from Boston,

Speaker 3: the other the other guy from Pittsburgh, Uh that you

312
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: mentioned to UH and that's probably just a partial list.

313
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. So they're going.

314
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: To be on all that, I assure you. I assure

315
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: you that they're watching all of them. They're scouting on them,

316
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: they're physically scouting them, they're video scouting them, they're breaking

317
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: them down, they're trying to decide whether there's a match

318
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: with any of these teams. Yeah, simple, difficult here too,

319
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: but I'm I assure you they're doing it.

320
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: So George Stockberger on Instagram, he's dreaming big because he wants.

321
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: He wanted me to ask, is Stephen Kwan a reasonable

322
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: trade option? What's a fair package of prospects for Stephen Kwan? Now?

323
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: The Guardians are four and a half games out of

324
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: the wild Card under five hundred. They're they're not playing well.

325
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: Stephen Kuan is fantastic. Uh gets on base, hits, put

326
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: the ball, and play high batting average. He's also on

327
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: their team control for about three more years. So that's

328
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: what you.

329
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: Get, and their closer, and you're and you can give them,

330
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: you can get seven players and throwing Ramirez.

331
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: I'll give them the whole Farmers.

332
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Throwing Crawford and Miller and all those guys, because guess what,

333
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: they're big leaguers who are performing right now today and

334
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: guys who can win.

335
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: You would have that would respects. Yeah, I mean, you know,

336
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: in that dream scenario Class A and and Kwan, I

337
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: mean it would start with Miller and Crawford for sure,

338
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: and then it would keep going.

339
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: Crawford, Abel et cetera, going, yeah, keep going, keep going.

340
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: That would be great if they could pull it off.

341
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: Stephen Kuan would be fantastic hitting on the top of

342
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: that lineup.

343
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, it's okay to be bold and to

344
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: think big, but it's good. It's good. It's good to

345
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: deplete your system.

346
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 2: So, I mean, Ruben, you made some some really big

347
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: blockbuster trades in July. Uh No, clear? So that okay? Yeah? So,

348
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: I mean I was gonna say, like, are those the

349
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: types of things you you call the guardians about? You say, like,

350
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: what would it take? You know, would you would you

351
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: consider this Kwan? You know, you just throw names out

352
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: there and just see what. You know what the je response, Yeah.

353
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Yes, would you move the guy? And they'll probably say Nope,

354
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: I wouldn't move Team Kuan. I said, really, you wouldn't

355
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: move him? What if we had this guy available? What

356
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: if we made this guy available. Nope, still not moving them. Okay,

357
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: next guy told them, then we have a discussion.

358
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: Just like when you asked for you and carl oar

359
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: Stanton ten times when he was with Miami.

360
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: Ten twelve, and it was that it was a hard

361
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: no every time, Ruben or.

362
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: What until after him? If they uh, you know, and

363
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: and anybody who wants pick them all.

364
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: I asked Ruben about that. I quoted Ruben as saying

365
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 3: I've asked about him ten times. I tried to get

366
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: him ten times, and I believe the Commission in his

367
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: office called the Phillies and said, there's a little problem

368
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: with something called tampering. Could you could you stop that truth?

369
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: Let's see here. Is it safe to say this is

370
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: from Fright Night six six six on Instagram? Is it

371
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 2: safe to say I was dead on with Jordan Romano,

372
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: So I guess he was not a fan of the

373
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: signing at the time. But man, I tell you what

374
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: I did. You know, I don't know what I expect

375
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: him from Jordan Romano, but I did not expect a

376
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: guy to have a seven four four era you know,

377
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: experiences after thirty six appearances. I mean, it's just been stunning,

378
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: and he seemed absolutely like lost or down, certainly down

379
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: after what happened on Tuesday night. And you know, for him,

380
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: it's like he feels like he gets on a little

381
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: bit of a roll and then it's just as I

382
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: think he's the way he put it, was a big

383
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: bad inning, a big bad outing. You know, you get

384
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: three or four scoreless, he's feeling pretty good, then big

385
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: bad outing, and that's you look at his his game

386
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: logs and it's like zero's six zeros three zeros three

387
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 2: and that that explains the seven four for you. I

388
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 2: just don't know how you trust the guy right now

389
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: in a big spot late in the game.

390
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: But you know, greatness, I mean, he's showed signs of

391
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: like having a filthy slider and a nasty fastball up

392
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: in the zone, tough to distinguish from. And then the

393
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: next out he gets lit up. And so it's a

394
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: it's a very tough thing for you to manage as

395
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: a manager, like how do you how do you pick

396
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: the time when he's going to be lights out? How

397
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: do you pick the time when he's not? You just

398
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: don't And the inconsistency is the thing he shown flashes

399
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: of greatness. I mean, we've sown flashes of being dominant

400
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: and then there's other times it's just not. It's a mystery.

401
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: Got to use them the sixth and seventh for a while,

402
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: get them out of that pressure pack.

403
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Phillies have a three game series this weekend, going

404
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: in the All Star Breaking against the Padres. Obviously, you

405
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,720

00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 5: Club AJ Give me a player this season that you

449
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 5: think is underrated and you might want to try and

450
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 5: grab his card.

451
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: James Would.

452
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: I don't know that he's underrated, but Washington National's superstar

453
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: in the making, and the first slab pack I ever

454
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: opened had him in it, his rookie card, and the value.

455
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: Is only going to go up and up and up.

456
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: And I'm not going to say yet, Scott, I'm gonna

457
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: hold on to it because after he continues to hit

458
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 3: big homers and put up the stats, make all star teams.

459
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,080

Speaker 2: Keep that in mind.

462
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: I think he's underrated.

463
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 4: He's on a Nationals team that's man.

464
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: Putting enough attention, he might.

465
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: Under when he makes the All Star team this year.

466
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: They're not going to be underrated. That helps. He's been

467
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: intentionally walked four times in a game.

468
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,080

Speaker 2: We are back answering more of your questions. And this

476
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: is something that came up after Monday's game, and this

477
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: is from I have his card on X. Does Rob

478
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: Thompson have a pulse because because Phil Phil Phil couzy

479
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: on Monday, right, he had.

480
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: A really tough day, had a really tough day on Monday.

481
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, really tough day on Monday. But we saw all

482
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: the pitches, we saw the thing, and everybody immediately the

483
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: next day they want Rob Thompson to go out there

484
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: and get ejected.

485
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: Oh, the team up.

486
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: The team up. I don't know. I mean, I guess

487
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: I've been covering. I don't know, but you know the

488
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: whole you have to have a team meeting, you have

489
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 2: to get ejected. You know, you have to throw some

490
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: stuff around in the dugout to get show show support

491
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: for your players. I don't know. I mean, I think

492
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: that stuff is so overblown. I mean, there's certainly times

493
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: and places to do it, but every time there's a

494
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: bad strike zone, the guy's supposed to go out and

495
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 2: get dejected. And you know, I don't know, what do

496
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: you guys think? Am I being too soft?

497
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: No, he's got a pulse. You have to be true

498
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 3: to your personality. He's not a fly off the handle.

499
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: I mean that that would have tested me a little

500
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 3: bit because because he was terrible. But you gotta be

501
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 3: You can't. You can't fake it if it's not in you,

502
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 3: it's not. But you know we've seen him a couple

503
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: of times lose it. But players right see right through

504
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 3: when it's fake. And but there was a lot to

505
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: that man Phil couzy Man took the bat out of

506
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: their hands. Anything costs Kirkering, I mean costs him a win.

507
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: Really yeah, And I will say this, I mean one

508
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: thing about Rob Thompson when it comes to support, he

509
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: supports the guys on a daily basis by talking to him,

510
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: having a relationship with him. That's how he supports them.

511
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: He supports him by put him in the lineup. He

512
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: supports them by in a lot of different ways, by

513
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: showing confidence in him by the way he goes about

514
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: his business. I had a conversation with Bill Couzy yesterday

515
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and I saw him in

516
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: down near the dugout, down near their umpiring room. And

517
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: I've known him for a long time. He is a

518
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: very prideful man. He's a good guy. He had a

519
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: really bad day and he felt like crap. And I

520
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: know that this hurts him. He knows that he did

521
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: not do a good job. He knows that when there's

522
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: pitches that are very close, that's understandable, and you miss them,

523
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: you don't miss them. But he also acknowledged to me

524
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: that there were some pitches that were well out of

525
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: the zone or in the zone that he missed and

526
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: he felt really badly about it. And you know, in fact,

527
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: he said, you know, I really I lost sleep. I've

528
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: been losing sleep the last couple of nights about it.

529
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: So this is something that's really important to them to

530
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: do well. I mean, they're scrutinized more than ever now

531
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: with that box and everything, and I'm one of them

532
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: that does scrutinize them. It's made it very difficult on them,

533
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: and they want to be good. It's not like he's

534
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: trying to be bad. He had a tough day and

535
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: he was feeling pretty bad about it. That doesn't make

536
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: it right. I'm just saying that, you know, these are

537
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: human beings and people screw up sometimes that's life. The

538
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: box is really it cost it cost its cost abilities.

539
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: The box has really changed things for these guys. I'll

540
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: tell you what's also. We talk about hitting being hard

541
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: these days and why it's hard because the stuff is

542
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: so big. I mean, I think sometimes the stuff is

543
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 3: so electric and there's so much late movement, different kinds

544
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 3: of movement than than you know, you didn't see in

545
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: the past.

546
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: That it's tough on the umpires as well, no doubt.

547
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean he saw Bryce and Phil talking at

548
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: second base yesterday. I'm sure they were. He was expressing that.

549
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: He was expressing that to him. So let's see a

550
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: few more here. We've talked about this guy, but I'll

551
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: bring him up again, how do you feel about Luis

552
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: Robert Junior is a by low candidate. The price wouldn't

553
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: be very high, and he might be a good replacement

554
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: for James from James finninggan on threats James that's a

555
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: rub and gave.

556
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: You the answer.

557
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: Something's got to make one of those memes out of that.

558
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: But you think Robert, I don't think Roberts done anything

559
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: to warrant making a trade for him. He's got ability.

560
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's got ability. Everybody in the Big Ones has ability.

561
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: You have to perform got it'd be so I mean,

562
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: just think about the risk involved in that, Like, you know,

563
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: because you're you're you'd be trading for a guy who's

564
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: been bad for the last two years.

565
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: If they want to give me a player and they

566
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: want to just give them to me and maybe take

567
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of the salary and just here hand

568
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: them over because we're trying to get rid of them. Okay,

569
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: we'll just take them just for the hell of it.

570
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: And you can option you know, you can go and

571
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: option Rojas down. No no skin up their ass. But

572
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to invest on in a

573
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: guy like this, I mean, you're talking about a crapshoot, right,

574
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't trust it.

575
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: Let's do let's do a couple more. This is from

576
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: deb c on X. Why do you think Dave Dombrowski

577
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 2: has been so reluctant, reluctant to go for it at

578
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: the deadline? We've needed a bat for three years. Now,

579
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: will he finally go for it? I was hoping for

580
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: uh Soarez from Arizona. Any chance for that, Well, we

581
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: just talked about sores and why that's unlikely.

582
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: But take a look at Swarze's numbers in the next

583
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: three weeks and see if you still love them, right,

584
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: Because he's super streaky, man, he's super streaky. He's had

585
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: a really good year power wise. I get it. Yeah,

586
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: but he can.

587
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Pull you out now, Oh yeah. I think in terms

588
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: of the bats, we've talked about this in previous episodes,

589
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: there's not that guy out there that's going to be

590
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: available where you're like, this guy makes sense. This is

591
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: the guy you should go out and trade Aiden Miller

592
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: and Justin Crawford for, or Aiden Miller and Mick Abel for.

593
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: Because if you plug him in the left field, he's

594
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: gonna hit fourth and he's gonna be awesome and all

595
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: your offensive problems are going to go away. I don't

596
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: know if that guy's out there. I mean there's a lot.

597
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Of there's not a lot. There's not a lot of

598
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: hundred Pensons out there. There really are. Yes, it just

599
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: doesn't exist.

600
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 5: It just doesn't.

601
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: It's not They're not really readily available.

602
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: On Suarez. I think Dombrowski had him originally with the

603
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: Tigers and traded him. I think he's always kind of

604
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 3: regretted that. I mean, that adds an interesting element to it.

605
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: Just so what would you do. You'd have to either

606
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: move Bam or Bomb goes to first and Harper goes

607
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: to the left. And I don't know if they would

608
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 3: do that mid season. I know Bryce has said he

609
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: might do it for the right guy, but when push

610
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: comes to shove, I don't know that he's going to

611
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: embrace that one at all in two mid season.

612
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows?

613
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would I agree with you. I agree with you.

614
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: Is there any chance they cut Jordan Romano Rooney Tim

615
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,480

617
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: that you know, you're deep on your depth chart in

618
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 3: that bullpen, and I think you take him out of

619
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 3: leverage and you try to get something out of him.

620
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,280
