1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Hi, This is Zach Wheeler. Welcome to Philly Show.

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: Hi everybody, Ruben Tomorrow Junior in Clearwater, Jim Salisbury in Westchester, PA.

3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: Todd's a lucky in Clearwater next to Ruben. It's the

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: Philly Show. It is Thursday, March twentieth, twenty twenty five.

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: We're actually recording this though Wednesday after Wednesday's game, and

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: I tell you what, we were kind of lining up

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: the show and we had some ideas and then boom,

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: post game, we're talking to Rob Thompson, guys, and we're

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: talking about Taiwan Walker, and I brought up the question

10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: to Rob Thompson, Hey, Taiwan does not want to talk

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: about starting the season in the bullpen. He does not

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 2: want to talk about not being a starting pitcher. And

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: Rob says, well, I don't either, and we said, well,

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: where do you think that he stands? He says, well,

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: there's still a battle going on and it was matc Eelboes.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: So there's we're not set in the rotation yet. He

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 2: said no, not really, and then he finally revealed that

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: Ranger swore Sworez is dealing with a stiff back, a

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: stiff back something that came up a day or two

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: after he threw sixty pitches four innings on Saturday over

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: at the Carpenter Complex. And so now we're going to

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: wait and see. Rob Thompson said the next twenty four

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: to forty eight hours are going to be very, very important.

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: He was Ranger was supposed to pitch in the split

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: squad game on Friday. It's probably not going to happen now,

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: or is not going to happen now. We don't know

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: when he's going to pitch next. We don't know how

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: bad the back your injury is, although Rob's did say

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: it is not as severe as bad as it was

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: last season. Remember the back kind of derailed his entire

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: second half. He says it's not as serious as it

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: was last season, but still Ranger swore as stiff lower back.

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: We might see Range Taiwan Walker in the rotation at all.

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: Early Too early to say, of course, But Rubin, what's

35
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: your immediate reaction to to this this news?

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's not great news obviously for the Phils. They've

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: had camp quiet pretty much other than Strom, and Strom

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: looks like he's bouncing back. I think he threw a

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: bullpen today and the ball came out pretty good. He's

40
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about himself, and I think so is

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Rob Thompson. That said, I mean, this would be a

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: big loss if they especially with the back, it can

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: be a little Backs can be very tricky. Obviously, you

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: can't perform as an athlete if your back's not feeling right.

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: And and he's had this, you know there's a history

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: behind this as well, so that combination gives his cause

47
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: for concern. There's no question about that. The fact that

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: they do have three off off days in like the

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: first you know, a few weeks of the season. That's

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: a good thing. A couple of weeks or so in

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: the season so they can line things up so that

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: they can skip that fifth starter spot. Maybe once, probably

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: not twice, but we haven't figured all those numbers out.

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: But hey, when anytime you lose anybody in your rotation,

55
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: it's an issue, and you know they're gonna have to

56
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: deal with It's one of the reasons why they signed

57
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: Joe Ross, one of the reasons why Tyler Taiwan Walker

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: is still here in camp and you know, not released,

59
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: and that thirty six or thirty eight million dollars isn't

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: but you know, by the wayside, because they may may

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: very well it looks like they may very well need

62
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: him as the fist starter. James.

63
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: My reaction is no bueno, No bueno.

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: You're right, yet that's.

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: Like I don't like to hear this, especially given the

66
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: young man's history last year hamstring, back, shoulder, there was

67
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: shoulder fatigue in there as well. And you know, it's

68
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: like the old Lenny Diister. Line Backs are tricky. Backs

69
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: are tricky, dude, because they're connected to everything. And you know,

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: he's right, that's what he said. It was a good

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: He was spot on. And you know they can say

72
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: all they want that it's not as serious as last

73
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: year whatever, until you see him out there dealing, you

74
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 4: have to be concerned. And we talk about it all

75
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 4: the time. He can never have enough pitching depth. And

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: this is an example why. I mean the team they

77
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: face today has really been hit hard, the Yankees. But

78
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: you need Rangers wires, You need him to be good

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: and need him to have that really good walk year

80
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: because it's a win win situation. He can benefit from

81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: it as he goes on to free agency, and I

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: have no doubt he's going to go on to free agency.

83
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: I've all along thought this was going to be going

84
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: to be his swan song in Philadelphia. But the other

85
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 4: half of the win situation is you want him to

86
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: have a great year because your team will benefit from it.

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: So I'm not going to overreact, but this is something

88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 4: you got to keep an eye on and something that Yeah,

89
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: it definitely concerns me.

90
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: Yes, the Ranger might potentially pitching a Graper League game

91
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: before the camp breaks. I would say it's unlikely, but

92
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: you know he can stay back and pitch an innersquad

93
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: games in clear Water before he needed. If you look

94
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: at the schedule, you're right, there's a couple off days.

95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 2: You know, at day day after opening Day March twenty eighth,

96
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: they come home and then they have Looking at the schedule,

97
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: now they have an off day on April first, and

98
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: then they have an off date on April seventh. Now

99
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: they have five games in a row from April second

100
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: to April six, So I you know they would need

101
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: a fifth starter at that point. That could be Taiwan Walker.

102
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: Maybe Ranger Suarez just benefits from a little extra rest.

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: Maybe he comes back and pitches in that game. Now,

104
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: if they back date him, if they would have to

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: start him on the il. You can backdate the fifteen

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: day ail. I believe it's three days, and so I

107
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: think he could come back in that situation as early

108
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: as April eighth against the Braves down in Atlanta. So

109
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: just kind of you kind of look at these things

110
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: and try to figure out what we're long ways away.

111
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: Like Rob Thompson said a postgame in his office, next

112
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: twenty four to forty eight hours are are going to

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: be pretty important.

114
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. But it's not a small thing.

115
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: It's a pretty medium size to large things. It is.

116
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk more about Ranger and Taiwan Walker right

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,320

143
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: of course, and Taiwan was kind of We've talked about

144
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: Taiwan a lot this spring. He was kind of like

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: one of the nice stories of Camp and my pleasant surprises.

146
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: We talked all off season about him. You know, is

147
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: this guy really going to be able to you know,

148
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: get his velocity back and get the split working again.

149
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: First three starts were really good, and then today through

150
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: two scoreless innings and then just got hit, got hit

151
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: really hard. Ruben, you were you were doing the game,

152
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: would you what'd you think of Taiwan?

153
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean came out of the at the very

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: the outset. He was actually pretty sharp. I like this fastball.

155
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: He felt it looking like a had good life to it.

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: He ran into like a longer inning at like a

157
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven pitch inning, either the second or third inning,

158
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: and sort of gassed him a little bit and he

159
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: started to miss the spots, got banged around with some

160
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: home runs, left some pitches in the middle of the plate.

161
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: I thought that he didn't really have a feel for

162
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: his split, which he has to have. If he doesn't

163
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: have that pitch, I mean, it's troublesome because his secondary

164
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: pitches beyond that split are not great. He did throw

165
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: like a one, very very good curveball today for a

166
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: punch out, but he's got to have that split fastball

167
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: split combination, and if he doesn't have it makes it

168
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: troublesome for him. But hey, they may have to count

169
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: on him. Now. That's the reason why he's around the

170
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: fact that you know, they have a little bit more

171
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: depth than they've had in the past, but you can

172
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: never have enough. We've talked about it a million times.

173
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: It's so cliche. You need pitching, and you need more pitching,

174
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,359
Speaker 1: and then after that you need some more. Right.

175
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: Funny because everybody this in spring was like, now they

176
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: should trade them, they should trade them, all these teams.

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: He's starting pitching, And I've been kind of in the

178
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: mind of, I don't know, like even before this Ranger

179
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: thing happened, like, do you really want to just trade

180
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: him just to trade them unless you get something? Of course,

181
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: it just makes a ton of sense for you to

182
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: do it. A team comes by and says, how about,

183
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: well we'll you know, we'll take on thirty million of

184
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: the remaining thirty six or something, then then of course

185
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: you do it. But I was, I was in the

186
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: mind of, you don't necessarily need to rush and give

187
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: him away, and and man, maybe that ends up becoming

188
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: pretty important.

189
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: Don't you think though, Like they can't trade him, and

190
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 4: if they could have traded them, we would have been

191
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: traded by now.

192
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 3: I just don't think there's a lot.

193
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: Of a lot of Probably so yeah, probably not not

194
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of flow on him, Jim. Probably not a

195
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: lot of flow.

196
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 6: Damn say, But I do have to say that you know,

197
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 6: the ball is coming out of the hand better but

198
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: he's gonna have to throw and command his pitches as

199
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: well as anybody, just because his stuff is not nearly

200
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 6: as sharp as it was maybe three or four years ago.

201
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: And so he's going to have to have really excellent

202
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: command to be able to manage himself through five or

203
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: six innings. And that's really what you want, I mean,

204
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: out of your fifth starter. If you can get five

205
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: or six innings consistently, then you're you're in business.

206
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 4: This makes Joe did Joe Ross signing looked pretty good.

207
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously it makes the Lozarto acquisition look good

208
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: because now you're talking about your fifth starter, not your

209
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: third or fourth starter. Right, it would be nice if

210
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 4: mckabel would start throwing strikes and things like that. So

211
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 4: you just need all these guys obviously.

212
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of funny, you know, the last few

213
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: days we've been trying to get Rob to kind of

214
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: tip us off on how the rotation is gonna set up,

215
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: because it clear very clearly it is Zach. I mean,

216
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler is the opening day starter. But but Rob

217
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: has been reluctant to say anything beyond that. And you know,

218
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: as Jesus Lozardo's lined up to pitch Game two, Aaron

219
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: Nola have to pitch Game three. Christopher Sanchez is lined

220
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: up to pitch the home opener against the Rockies. But

221
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: that was something that robs today's like, that's why I

222
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: have not wanted to say what the rotation is beyond Zach,

223
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: because we've known that that ranger has been sidelined or

224
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: you know, put down because of this this back issue.

225
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: So it raises the question do they speed up Andrew

226
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: Painter and the question, and I think I'll answer that

227
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: for you. They will not. I don't. I do not

228
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: think that this will speed up his you know, overall development.

229
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be still gonna be June and julyish

230
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: unless something miraculous happens. I got to believe that they're

231
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: going to stay with the plan. The man is too

232
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: important to the organization short German long term, and so

233
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: for those who think that they should be speeding him up,

234
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. They got to be careful with

235
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: this young man and make sure that he's one hundred

236
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: percent and ready to go, and they're doing it intelligently.

237
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: So I'll answer my own question. Yeah, it's not changing his.

238
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 4: Timeline, and I'm glad you brought that up, because I'm

239
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: sure that throught is going to cross you know, a

240
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 4: lot of people's minds, but you know they're going to

241
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: be They're going to be committed to the plan they have.

242
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: And Dobroski has flat has used the word the expression

243
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 4: July ish. He's also said, could that be sometime in June, sure,

244
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: could that be sometime in August.

245
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: Sure?

246
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: But they need to run the play here for the

247
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: good of their organization and for their future and for

248
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: the future of this young man. He's coming off Tommy

249
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: John surgery hasn't pitched in two seasons. It has to

250
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: be a slow, smart, methodical ramp up. And he's going

251
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 4: to be on a workload budget, and you have to

252
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: budget it so you get most of that workload in

253
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: the most important months of the season.

254
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: Well, you know the bad news, I guess with the ranger.

255
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: The concerning is with ranger Mattstrom bullpen a day and

256
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: we talked to him afterwards and he said he felt great.

257
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: He said it was the best villa we had all spring.

258
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: His his vila was like ninety one point five in

259
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: his first two appearances. It was down from where it

260
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: was last spring. Rob Thompson said, the same thing that

261
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: was his best VILA last ring. He looked really, really good.

262
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: So here's the good news. Rob Thompson was encouraged enough

263
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: by that to say that if matt Strom wakes up

264
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: on Thursday feeling good, he could pitch in a Graaper

265
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: League game as early as Friday. If not Friday, then Saturday.

266
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: He said, If matt Strom pitches Friday or Saturday and

267
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: he feels good, he sees no reason why he can't

268
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: be ready to start the season with the team. So

269
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: if that's the case, that's certainly good news, especially with

270
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: now you're talking about maybe Taiwan sliding over at a

271
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: ranger spot if that ends up happening, So there's some

272
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: there's some good news, and that's you know, we're talking

273
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: about an all star lefty reliever, so they need him.

274
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's huge, just big for him. I know that

275
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: he's a guy that wants to chopping at the bit.

276
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: He's not backing off, so they have to be careful

277
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: with him. That said, you know, the proopers into putting

278
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: and the ball was coming out of his hand really

279
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: well according to most people, and if he bounces back

280
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: again in the next few days, and he's healthy and

281
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: good to go. He's the kind of guy that I

282
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: don't think needs a ton of work as far as

283
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, getting ready and you know, being able to

284
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: pitch in the big League. So he's a veteran, he

285
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing, and hopefully, if he is healthy,

286
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: he'll be on that mound opening day at some point.

287
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna be cautious with him, because you know,

288
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: this is a long haul sport.

289
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: It's about the long haul.

290
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: It's about when you have a roster like this, they

291
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: should play in October. That's where the prize is. I'm

292
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: not saying the regular The regular season is obviously very important,

293
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 4: but they you need to be careful with some of

294
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: these guys out of the gate. There'll be plenty of

295
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 4: time for them to to, you know, make up what

296
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: they miss. You just have to make sure that they're

297
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: all ready to go one hundred percent healthy. I just

298
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: wouldn't go into the season with a guy who's only

299
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: ninety percent. He can he can make up that next

300
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: ten percent, you know, in games that matter.

301
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do.

302
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: It well if if he for some reason he's not

303
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: ready to go, or if he is ready to go,

304
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: and Taiwan Walker moves in the rotation because Ranger isn't

305
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: ready to go, they're gonna need to fill another bullpen spot.

306
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: Two guys pitching tomorrow, I guess are in the mix.

307
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: One of them is certainly in the mix, and that's

308
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: the Bill Chris Matt. He is starting on State Wednesday

309
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: or Thursday, Yeah, Thursday, tomorrow today, it's gonna be Thursday

310
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: as we're recording. Thursday. He is Bill. Chris Matt is

311
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: going to pitch in it in Northport against the Braves.

312
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: So they're starting him, so they they want him to

313
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: face the lineup and see kind of how he handles

314
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: that lineup, that Atlanta lineup. And then Kyle Tyler, who's

315
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: on the forty men roster as a starter but is

316
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: pitched in relief, he's going to follow him. So either

317
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: they're given those guys two good looks.

318
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, and that's the way you do, and that's

319
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: how you find out. I mean, these guys, the Atlanta

320
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: Braves are pretty close to being fully ready and you're

321
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: to see a pretty darn good lineup against him. So, hey,

322
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: this is the time of the year where you find

323
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: out whether guys are really ready to help you at

324
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: the major league level, and great job of testing these

325
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: guys and seeing if they can be a real option.

326
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: Did you guys see yesterday Jose Alvarado's breaking ball to

327
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: Tommy Fam.

328
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he turned it over a little bit.

329
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: She turned it over. It was kind of like it

330
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: went it went armside right and a scrooge. It was

331
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: a scroogie. So I thought this was really interesting and

332
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: pitching Ninja that that Twitter account first mentioned this, but

333
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: I dug into this. So al rot through this curveball yesterday.

334
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: It had five point six inches of arm side movement.

335
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, like I had some screwball movement. And Tommy

336
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: FAM's reaction was like, yeah, hell was that? I have

337
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: no idea what that was, and so me being me,

338
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: I didn't. I was like, Okay, that that looks unusual,

339
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: But how unusual is it really? Well, now because we

340
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: have stack cast, we can actually look this up. So

341
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: last season, every left hander in baseball who threw at

342
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: least fifty curveballs had the pitch move glove side at

343
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: least glove side, meaning you know, like a normal curveball

344
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: at least point one inches Okay, every pitcher that threw

345
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: at least fifty curveballs at least point one inches except

346
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: two Drew Smiley three point two inches armside and Marco

347
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: Gonzalez point four arm inches armside. Alvarado's curveball this spring

348
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 2: is averaging one point nine inches of armside movement. That

349
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: means the only guy who's throwing a curveball like that

350
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 2: more like moving more like that is Drew Smiley, and

351
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: Drew Smiley does not throw as hard as Jose Alorado.

352
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: He's not throwing one on one with a nasty cutter

353
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: and like, you know, a nasty curveball as well. So

354
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: I just thought that was kind of a fun little

355
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: stat in terms of like how unusual that is and

356
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: how that could if he can throw a few of

357
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: those this season. That's kind of a fun little weapon

358
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: and fun little thing to watch going forward.

359
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 7: It's not gonna be his bread and butter because it's

360
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 7: it's one hundred mile an hour and one hundred and

361
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 7: one mile an hour fastball, and he's a sinker that

362
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 7: he's featuring and you know, ninety six mile, ninety four

363
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 7: mile an hour cutter that he's that he's firing off

364
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 7: right now and he's really pitching, well, he didn't pitch

365
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 7: and then back to back.

366
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: He did not use that breaking ball. But boy oh boy,

367
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: was his stuff filthy again against the Yankees. And it's

368
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: nice to see him bouncing back with this kind of confidence,

369
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff and command. Command being number one

370
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: for him because he can be a true, true weapon

371
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: if he's right, a true weapon for that bullpen and

372
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: would certainly mitigate the issues they might be having with

373
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: that strup.

374
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: It's crazy with that.

375
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 4: It's sort of like it sounds like that breaking ball

376
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 4: is backing up.

377
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: No, Ruben, Yeah, it's like a backup breaking ball, and

378
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: it's it's like the toughest pitch in baseball because you've

379
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: never seen it as a hitter. You just don't see it.

380
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: The ball is supposed to break from the left hand,

381
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: or supposed to break to the arm side if it's

382
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: a curveball, supposed to go sort of left to right,

383
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: if you're looking at the catcher, and if you go

384
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: left to left, left, you know, if you go right

385
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: to left, then it's just bizarre. You just your eyes

386
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: can't adjust to it. It's just no way. There's really

387
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: no way to hit the pitch unless it's hung in

388
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the plate because you just don't see

389
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: that rotation. Is it an accident or an accident. I

390
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: don't know. If he was working on it, I have

391
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: no idea, but if.

392
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 3: He's working on a curveball, he.

393
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: Did say a few weeks ago, a couple of weeks

394
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: ago when I talked to me, he was. He said

395
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: he was working hard on his curveball all spring. And again,

396
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: like the fact that it's averaging that, I don't know

397
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: if it's I mean, that was an extreme instance of it,

398
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: like that break. He hasn't thrown a ton, but the

399
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: average again is one point nine, which is still would

400
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: be second and Drew Smiley if you threw it, you know.

401
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's an accident or not,

402
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: but it's certainly going that way this spring.

403
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: So now I know he's.

404
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: Working on the pitch. It's just got a very unusual

405
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: break to it. But hey, let's know what you do

406
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 4: with that. You take put that under your arm like

407
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 4: a football, and you hit the hole right exactly.

408
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: We're not in football season right now, Jim. We're in

409
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: basketball and baseball season.

410
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: I'm speaking to the people, though, this is a big

411
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: football town.

412
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: In case you haven't heard, is it some green team,

413
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: the Green Monsters.

414
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. Well it's also basketball time now,

415
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: you know, we got the NCAA tournament.

416
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: That is a hell of a segue, my boy.

417
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I've prepared something for you. I want to see,

418
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 4: you know, in honor of the nc tournament, which, uh,

419
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: great time of year. Everybody loves the NCAA Tournament, right.

420
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 4: So I went through the field of I guess this

421
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 4: sixty some odd team, sixty four and then they got

422
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 4: to play in or whatever. So and I came up

423
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 4: with like eighteen or nineteen teams that I think might

424
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: have a Phillies connection.

425
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: Okay, in most cases a guy.

426
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 4: Who went to that school and played for the Phillies.

427
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 4: And I want to see I want some quick answers.

428
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 4: Are you ready for this?

429
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, let's do this.

430
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: All right.

431
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna fail, but yeah.

432
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 4: All right, give me, like, come on, you got to

433
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: know the answer to the most famous Philly that played

434
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: at Michigan.

435
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: State, Robin Roberts.

436
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 4: There you go, all right, give me Philly that played

437
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 4: at Old Miss. Come on, hurry up.

438
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: Jonathan papplebon no, no, no, was he Mississippi State?

439
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: Yes, David Delucci, old miss.

440
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: David Delucci, old mess.

441
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: We have a New Mexico connection, which I don't know

442
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: if gonna get see if Rubin might know this New

443
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 4: Mexico Phillies connection.

444
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: Come on. Jim Fragosi, junior, former Philly Scout.

445
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 4: I think he led the nation in slugging as a

446
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: junior at New Mexico. He was an employee. He didn't

447
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 4: play for it, but he was a scout. You know

448
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 4: his connection connections. Rod Nichols, former Phillies bullpen coach, was

449
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: also in that lineup with Jim.

450
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: They were two big hitters at New Mexico.

451
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 4: I think he used to call him bang and bang

452
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 4: anyway onto Alabama?

453
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: Oh man, Well, David Robertson pitched for Alabama. Right, I'm

454
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: trying to think who else is there? Is there a

455
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 2: bigger Philly than David Robertson and out from Alabama?

456
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: I put Adam Morgan on the list. Adam Morgan I

457
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: had an inside and on the inside joke for you.

458
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: Somebody else that pitched at Alabama.

459
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 3: That was the.

460
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: That was the old Marlins PA guy. He had this

461
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: press box guy. Yeah, the old press box guy. Taylor

462
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: tankers Lee one inning, pitched three hits, one run.

463
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, come on, I know you'll know this

464
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 4: with Todd Maryland, Maryland.

465
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:16,560

Speaker 4: the funniest guys ever. He gave up one of the

562
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 4: longest home runs I've ever seen in my life at

563
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 4: Veterans Stadium center Field upper deck to Andrew Jones.

564

Speaker 3: You remember that, I know it.

565
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 8: I have to tell you this story, Jim, because it

566
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 8: was my favorite. I was playing left field, and when

567
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 8: he hit it, I actually ran into the towards the

568
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 8: enfield to look back to see how amazing it was struck.

569
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 9: And it smoked off the four hundred facade up there,

570
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 9: in that four hundred level that right around the Vet Stadium.

571
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 9: It was the longest tracer hardest hit ball I.

572
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: Have ever seen.

573
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: Yep, how about that fun.

574
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: I actually I actually when Matt Beach I think he

575
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 4: was pitching in the Yankees system.

576
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: I actually went and saw him.

577
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 4: He was in Columbus, Ohio, I think, and he had

578
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: I think he had Tommy John surgery twice.

579
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: And he offers, how about that home Remember that home run?

580
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: I gave him to Andrew Jones.

581
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: He was a great majestic that this has a sense

582
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: of humor about it.

583
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,160
