It's Friday, October fourth, twenty twenty four. I 4 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: got this little soundboard where I can play like the 5 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: intros and today. 6 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: I chose Chase Utley because he was. 7 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: A Mets killer over the years, and the Phillies are 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna need to slay the Mets coming up. It's gonna 9 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: be a tough series and a fun series and Nation 10 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: League Division series. What was your reaction watching that that 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: game last night? Guys, the Mets, the Mets kind of 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: a they're hot. They got some good vibes going. I 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: got some text messages last night for some friends going, 14 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: oh man, I don't know. I don't about this series. 15 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: I don't know about this series. I have good feelings 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: about the series. Oh boy, talking me off a ledge here, 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: you guys, get any of those texts last night? 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: No, but I've been kind of talking about the Mets 19 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 3: for weeks, saying, you know, if they get in, you know, 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: go back a month ago. If they get in, I 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 3: see them being a really tough out in the postseason, 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: and they've proven to be that. You know, three outs 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 3: away from going home. They rally in the ninth in Milwaukee, 24 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 3: and Peter Alazzo really hadn't done much in weeks, hadn't 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: homered in weeks, steps up and hits that three run 26 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: home run. It just seems like they are sipping some 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 3: magic potion here. You know, the Phillies are a hell 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: of a team, right with star power up and down 29 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: their roster, But the Mets see them a lot, and 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: they've seen them a lot over the years. They're not 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: going to be awed by anybody on that roster. I'm 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: expecting a son of a gun of a series, a 33 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: great series, and them to continue to be a tough out. 34 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: I think the Phillies can get by them. I think 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: Game one is huge. I think you got the right 36 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: guy on the mound. But you know, Taylor, two seasons 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: really for both teams. The Phillies build that great early 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: record and hang on, and the Mets stumble out of 39 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: the gate. They're like, twelve games under five hundred. Are 40 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 3: they gonna sell off talent? And all of a sudden 41 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: they go on a roll after June first, I have 42 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: one of the best records in baseball. And you know, 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: these two teams saw each other in London when the 44 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: Phillies were really on the top of the top of 45 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: the world in early June. Since then, the Phillies are 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: three games over five hundred, the Mets are twenty six 47 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 3: games over five hundred. That includes the dramatic victory last 48 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: night in Milwaukee. And you know, you get the proximity, 49 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: the history, the NL East, and now they're gonna meet 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: in the for the first time. This just lines up 51 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: for me as a really tough series for the Phillies, 52 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: but a really really entertaining series for the fans. 53 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 4: I think it should be a lot of fun. 54 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 5: I mean, you're you're basically looking at two teams that 55 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 5: one is sort of flatlining right now, which with the Phillies, 56 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 5: and one is just skyrocketing and momentum means something, and 57 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 5: they're going to continue to play. They get the one 58 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 5: day off, they get the party, they get to hang out, 59 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 5: get the one day off, and then they go right 60 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: back into it. And you know, they've been on an 61 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 5: amazing little road trip here. I mean, they bounced all 62 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 5: over the place to Milwaukee, back to Milwaukee. I mean 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 5: They've been all over the place and they've really handled 64 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 5: things well. It's always when I was a coach there 65 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 5: in in New York, there was a culture issue. They 66 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 5: did not know how to win. They had some talented players, 67 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 5: but they just didn't know how to win. 68 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 4: Well. 69 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 5: I think that Mendoza has done a phenomenal Carlos Mendoza, 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 5: their amount of there's been done a spectacular job of 71 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 5: changing that culture comes from a winning organization, comes from 72 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 5: the Mets, excuse me, the the Yankees, and takes over 73 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 5: and I think he's really helped change the culture there. 74 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 5: And they have that really big meeting and listen, you know, 75 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 5: people don't talk about this enough. Okay, culture matters and 76 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 5: the attitude matters, and it just seems like when they 77 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 5: had that team meeting, and I guess it was held 78 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 5: by Francisco Lindor, they sort of they sort of made 79 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 5: themselves accountable for each other. And when you're accountable to 80 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 5: the guy next to you, and you're accountable to yourself 81 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 5: and you're accountable to the organization, then that changes your 82 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 5: whole mindset. Instead of being me me me, I me me, 83 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 5: which is exactly how it was when I was there 84 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 5: with the Mets. 85 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 4: It was all about me. 86 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 5: Then, and you put it on the team, and you 87 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 5: make it a team thing, and you're playing for your 88 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 5: buddies and your boys. I think Alonso talked about it 89 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 5: after he hit the home run, Yester, I'm so glad 90 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 5: that I came through for the boys. I mean, even 91 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 5: superstars like Alonso and Neimo and others who were so 92 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 5: focused on themselves and getting themselves, you know, putting themselves 93 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 5: in a position to make some money and to be 94 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 5: really good player players for themselves. They have now learned 95 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 5: through whatever osmosis, through whatever the leadership, whether it's Mendozo 96 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 5: or lindor whatever the case may be, they've had a 97 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 5: mind shift and that mind shift is creating wins. And now, 98 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 5: I mean think about that, twenty six games over five hundred. 99 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 5: Would you rather be the team that started off the 100 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 5: season twenty six games over five hundred or the season 101 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 5: twenty six games over five hundred. So that's where I know. 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 5: The Phillies have a tremendously talented team. There's no question 103 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 5: about it. It's the most talented team in the tournament. 104 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 5: But it's all about for me, It's all about how 105 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: are you playing today? And if they can play good 106 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 5: baseball today, it's going to be a phenomenal series. 107 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: So some nuts and bolts. Game one is on Saturday 108 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: at four oh eight pm. Zach Wheeler, like you guys mentioned, 109 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: is on the mound for the. 110 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: Phillies, which is great. 111 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: It sounds like Tyler McGill is going to be the 112 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: game one star. That's not official, but Tony Decomo covers 113 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: the Mets for MLB dot Com. He said that there's 114 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: some strong indications in the clubhouse last night it's gonna 115 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: be Tyler McGill. You look at Tyler McGill's overall numbers, 116 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: he's eras in the fourst perfect, but in his last 117 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: six starts since he got recalled two to zero two 118 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: point three two ERA. He faced the Phillies at City 119 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: Field at the end of the month in September, gave 120 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: up one run in four innings. Oddly enough, coincidentally, that 121 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: was the game the Phillies lost to to one with 122 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler on the mound. Zach Wheeler pitched great in 123 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: that game. The Phillies got no run support. So it's 124 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: gonna be probably Tyler McGill in Game one. And what 125 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: do we think about just kind of the x's and 126 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: o's matchup of this series. 127 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: Do we think. 128 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: Is there concern with how the Phillies finished against the Mets. 129 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: I think they went three and four. They won two 130 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: out of three a Citizen Bank. 131 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: Park, they lost three or four in New York. 132 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: A lot of swing and miss in that Mets series 133 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: it's at City Field, a lot of swing and miss, 134 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: a lot of chase and not a lot of runs. 135 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: I know they I know they hit some balls hard. 136 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: Remember Schwarber in that Wheeler game hit one of the 137 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: wall in center field. But you know, what do we 138 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: think about just these two teams take the vibes out 139 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: of it, and just if they can get a good 140 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: performance from Wheeler and what's what's what it's going to 141 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: take to win the series? 142 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: You know, I think they're more evenly matched than people think. 143 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: I mean, the Mets don't have the star power in 144 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: their starting rotation that the Phillies have, you know the names, 145 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: but they've certainly gotten the performance. You know, they lose 146 00:07:51,120 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: Senga Maniyah Peterson whom I miss, and Miguel Quintana Cantona. 147 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: They all step up. They're heavy left handed, and the 148 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: rotation of the Phillies do hit lefties. That's a good thing. 149 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 3: I think the offenses are more evenly matched than people think. Uh, 150 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: you know, the Mets got they have an MVP type 151 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: player in Lindor having a great year. He's gonna finish 152 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 3: second in the MVP race. Iglesias has given this team, 153 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: you know, the Mets, a huge, huge lift. I just 154 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: think they are evenly matched in a lot of areas. 155 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: In a lot of areas, I mean, you get two 156 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: really great shortstops, but Lindor has probably delivered more down 157 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: the stretch in the second half than Trey Turner has. 158 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean Trey Turner can't be the best 159 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: player in the series. He's got that type of ability. 160 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 3: So I just think there's gonna a lot of little 161 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: things are gonna be magnified. Defense, base running, all the 162 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 3: little things, you know, contact that that are magnified in 163 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 3: the postseason. But this is a much if you can 164 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: get beyond the Phillies, I think have a better rotation, 165 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: more star power in the rotation. I think that's that's 166 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: one of the areas that really needs to deliver them. 167 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: But you know, the Phillies need to avoid these long 168 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: stretches of offensive inconsistency. But these Mets are a good 169 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 3: ball club. 170 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 4: I gotta say. I know. 171 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 5: I know that as I look at the team, when 172 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 5: you used to think about like the matchups of just talent. Okay, 173 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 5: I got to have the Phillies ahead because pitching wise, 174 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 5: their rotation slightly better. 175 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: Even though the rotation for the Mets has been pretty 176 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 4: good lately. 177 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 5: They'd been throwing the ball well, Sobrino's thrown well, Manaia 178 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 5: has been fantastic, and Kintana's really kind of stuck it 179 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 5: up their rear ends last few times pitched against them. 180 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 5: So but even though even with that, I really like, 181 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 5: I do like the Phillies rotation slightly over over the Mets. 182 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 5: The bullpens are not even close. I don't like the 183 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 5: Mets bullpen. I know the closer ended up finishing off 184 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 5: the game yesterday. He was very shaky. He's very vulnerable. 185 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 5: He doesn't he doesn't look comfortable right now. He's not 186 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 5: pitching all that well for the Mets, and I trust 187 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 5: for me, I trust the bullpen of the Phillies much 188 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 5: much more. As far as the lineups are concerned. If 189 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 5: you go player for player, I do believe the Phillies 190 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 5: have a better lineup star power. 191 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: Just just in general. 192 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,359 Speaker 5: But this is the thing when you play in the postseason, 193 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 5: and I mean, I've been watching these postseason games. Man, 194 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 5: there's so much swinging mits and so much strikeout and 195 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 5: it just feels like these teams are exploiting and knowing 196 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 5: that these each one of these players holes and they're foibles, 197 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 5: and I do think that they get exploited. They get 198 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 5: exploited a lot, and it's about execution, being being able 199 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 5: to execute those pitches. But the Phillies are gonna have 200 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 5: to figure out a way to pass the baton. 201 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 4: They've got to figure out what figure out a way 202 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 4: to swing. 203 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 5: At strikes and to battle with two strikes and put 204 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 5: the ball in play. Because when they were doing that 205 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 5: consistently in the first part of the season, they were 206 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 5: having a tremendous amount of success. They were producing runs 207 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 5: by extra base hits, by walks, by stealing bases, by 208 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 5: getting big bass hits, not necessarily the home run, and 209 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 5: they cannot rely on the home run to get it 210 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 5: done because there's just too much swing and miss at 211 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 5: times when they do that. So I'll be fascinated to 212 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 5: see whether or not the Phillies can actually. 213 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 4: Put the ball in play enough to win the series. 214 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: And this is where you hope, if you're a Phillies fan, 215 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: that what happened to them in the NLCS really resonates 216 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: as they begin this postseason journey. What they hope is 217 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: a long journey that they will remember those moments of 218 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: swinging out of their shoes and just say, all right, 219 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: short numb a swing, two strike approach, let's put the 220 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: ball in play. 221 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: You know, we don't want to have happened. 222 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: Not that do you want to have a negative thought, 223 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying, just have learned from 224 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: that experience, like you said, Reuben, and just put the 225 00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: ball in play. 226 00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: I mean. 227 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: He saw throughout the posting and anytime they put the 228 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: ball in just touch your team. Something good happened, Something 229 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: good can happen. 230 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 5: One one little bluep bass hit can cause a whole 231 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 5: lot of habit. A walk, I mean, you know your 232 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 5: basic your basics. Walks and hit by pitches. I mean 233 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 5: you looked at it yesterday. Devin Williams comes in and 234 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 5: walks Frankie Lindor to start the inning. 235 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 4: That is the kiss of death match. 236 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 5: You just have to be able to You got to 237 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 5: throw strikes, you got to catch the baseball, and you 238 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 5: got to make contact. 239 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: You want to hear stat So this is courtesy of 240 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: Sarah Langs from MLB dot Com and ESPN, who is phenomenal. 241 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: Devin Williams threw one hundred and seventy six change ups 242 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 3: this season, gave up zero home runs. Last night, you 243 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: know that change ups up. Peter Lonzo hits it over 244 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: the wall for historic home run in Met's history. I mean, 245 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 3: just amazing. I agree with you, guys. Put the ball 246 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: in play, take the walk past the baton. But it's 247 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: indisputable that this Phillies team is better when they are slugging, 248 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: when they are hitting the ball in the gaps, off 249 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: the wall, over the wall. That said you can't approach 250 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: it as I'm gonna hit a home run. I'm gonna 251 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 3: try to hit a home run. Try to square it up, 252 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: hit it hard somewhere. If it goes over the wall, 253 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 3: that's a good thing. If it bloops over the second 254 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: basement's head, that could be a good thing too. But 255 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: you have to put a premium on contact, and home 256 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 3: runs will happen if you make good contact. But it's 257 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 3: indisputable this is the better Phillies team. All teams are 258 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: better when they slug, but gosh, particularly this Phillies team. 259 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: You know, we saw it down the stretch. They were 260 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: kind of teetering a little bit up and down. Then 261 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: they had that run where they hit a bunch of 262 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: doubles and home runs and they couldn't be beaten. So 263 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: you're in search of like the perfect recipe, of the 264 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 3: perfect way to win these ball games. And I think 265 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a little bit of an old school approach. 266 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: I mean, we see managers go to the bullpen so 267 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 3: early these days in the postseason. I'm riding my horses 268 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 3: and hoping they're they're they're dealing Wheeler Sanchez, Nola. I'm 269 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 3: trying to get them to take me deep into the game, 270 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: and then I'm going to my five men. You know, 271 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: he trusts five men in that bullpen, and you know, 272 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 3: if they can get nine outs or even fewer, that 273 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: could be a heck of a recipe to take down 274 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: the Mets. 275 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: So you say, horses. So we're recording this on Friday morning. 276 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: The Phillies are gonna have a workout later Friday afternoon, 277 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: Rob Thompson might announce his Game two starter, So we 278 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: don't know who the game's two starter is. 279 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: Going to be. 280 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 4: Now. 281 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: Rob hinted that it could be Christopher Sanchez based off 282 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: these ridiculous home road splits. 283 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: He's like over five. 284 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: On on the road, He's just over to at home. 285 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: He also said it's going to depend on who we play. 286 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: So the Mets have. 287 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: What they have two lefties in the lineup, Nemo Lindor 288 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: is a switch hitter, and there's one other guy in 289 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: that lineup that's. 290 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 4: A left the winker Winker Winker. Yeah, okay, so I 291 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: probably won't play. 292 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: So knowing the Mets lineup, knowing the home road splits, 293 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: knowing how these guys have pitched against the Mets this 294 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: season Sanchez and seventeen and two thirds innings three point 295 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: oh sixty ra A, Nolan thirteen and the third innings 296 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: four point oh five e ra A. I don't know 297 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: how much you want to put stock on that. Who's 298 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: your Game two starter. 299 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 5: I'll tell you who the game two starter is if 300 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 5: we If Wheeler wins the first game, Sanchez is your 301 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 5: Game two starter. If Wheeler loses the first game, Nola's 302 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 5: your Game two starter because I think that I don't 303 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 5: think that he wants to put I would That's my feeling, 304 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 5: and that's how I would do it if I was managing. 305 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 4: Again, I'm not a manager, and I'm glad I'm not in. 306 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 5: This situation, but I will tell you that I don't 307 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 5: think he wants to put Sanchez. 308 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 4: The pressure on Sanchez. 309 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 5: At home down oh one and having to try to 310 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 5: get back into the series. I think he would rather 311 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 5: have Nola be the guy to take the pressure on 312 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 5: that one. That's where I That's that's my thought. So 313 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 5: you may may have a different one, but that's how 314 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 5: I feel. That's how I feel. It's good he gonna 315 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 5: go after. 316 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: That would make a lot of sense because one thing 317 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: we know about Aaron Nola is you can never tell 318 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: if he's happy, sad, angry, you know, depressed, you know anything. 319 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: He is a total flatline on the mound. 320 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: And so I feel like, yeah, any I don't you 321 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: don't really know what would be going through Sanchez's mind 322 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: into Game two down No One, So I can't. I 323 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: can't disagree with you there, Ruben. That would be that 324 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: that would be an interesting way to go. 325 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: I'm I like you know, you know how you always 326 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 3: talking about bullpens guys like their roles. I mean, I 327 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 3: got to think coming into a series Christopher Sanchez, it 328 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 3: would really do his psyche well to know exactly when 329 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 3: he's pitching. And I think they're even the same for 330 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: Aaron Nola. I mean, do you want Aaron Nola reporting 331 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: to the ballpark one o'clock on Saturday not knowing when 332 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 3: he's getting the ball? I mean, I'm sure he could 333 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 3: handle it. He's a veteran guy's unflappable. But do you 334 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 3: want Christopher Sanchez reporting not knowing when he's getting the ball? 335 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 4: I don't know. 336 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 3: I mean it's an interesting point, Rubin. There's a lot 337 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 3: of pressure on Chris Sanchez if they lose Game one, 338 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: but I feel like I'd prefer more of a roadmap 339 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 3: going in. 340 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's possible. 341 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 5: I mean, these guys are again these guys, But I 342 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 5: got to believe if either one they've auried their AO 343 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 5: and they don't want to tip their hand, so the 344 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 5: players already know or they're deciding, and if they are 345 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 5: deciding which way to go, and if they are, they 346 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 5: probably told both players, hey, listen, here's the scenarios bing 347 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 5: bang boom, so at least mentally, they were prepared for that. 348 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 5: And I got to believe the way they communicate and 349 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 5: the way Rob Thompson communicates and Caleb Cotham, I got 350 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 5: to believe that they know exactly what's going on. 351 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 4: Either way, I agree with you. 352 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 3: I think they probably know. And if you're going to 353 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 3: kind of hedge a little bit, as you know, you're 354 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 3: going to start if we're down a game, you're gonna 355 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: start if we if if we're up a game, that 356 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: shows a lack of trust in one guy. 357 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 6: And I'm not sure that's Rob Thompson's style. 358 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: And you might be right, you might be right, that 359 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 3: might be the way they're going to go. I just 360 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 3: think all that uncertainty shows a lack of trust in 361 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 3: one guy and knowing Rob and how meticulous he is 362 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 3: and planning everything out. My guess, and I could be 363 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: totally wrong. We'll we'll find out Friday afternoon, two thirty, 364 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 3: you know, maybe some more information when Rob talks to 365 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 3: the media. Uh, my guess is this roadmap has been 366 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 3: established at least starting pitching wise, and these guys already know. Again, 367 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: I offered, I could be wrong, we don't know, but 368 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 3: we'll see. 369 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 4: Hey, Todd, what do you think? You know? 370 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: I would I personally think I would go with with 371 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: Sanchez in game two only because we and we talked 372 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: about this, Jimmy, right, I said, you don't want to 373 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: open yourself up for criticism, and you said you can't. 374 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: You can't manage based off of potential criticism. But man, 375 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: I like the idea of putting a guy in a 376 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: position their best position to succeed, you know, And I 377 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: feel like Sanchez. Whatever the reason is, if it's it 378 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: might be ninety five percent coincidence that Christopher Sanchez has 379 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: been unbelievable at home and maybe he's just had some 380 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: random bad games on the road and that's made these 381 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: drastic splits. But Rob has allowed the possibility that there 382 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: is something there. It might not be totally explainable, but 383 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: the numbers are the numbers, and it's real. 384 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: And for that reason, I think. 385 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: You start him on the road and say he gets 386 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: his brains beat in, and you know, something happens to 387 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: Nola again. I know you can't really think in those hypotheticals, 388 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: I guess, but I like the idea of putting Sanchez 389 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: in the best position to succeed. But I do see 390 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: he's saying Rubin, like, if you're down one, if you're 391 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: down oh one, man, Aaron Nola as cool as a cucumber, 392 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: and he's got all that, He's got lot of experience, 393 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: and he's got a lot of early postseason success, pro 394 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: early round postseason success, and so you'd feel pretty comfortable 395 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: with him in game two. 396 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think, I think. I think it's 397 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 4: just that's the beauty of this game. 398 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 5: Many about opinions and and and these are decisions. 399 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 4: That are that are very relevant and very important. But 400 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 4: it's a good position to. 401 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 3: Be in if you're worried about going down oh one 402 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 3: and saying, Aaron Nola is going to pitch game two, 403 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: and that's the way you need to go out of 404 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: the gate Wheeler Nola, Sanchez. 405 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 4: And in my feel, my gut feeling all along with it, 406 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: they're gonna do. That's the way they're going to go. 407 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 4: But who knows. 408 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 3: Listening to Rob the other day, if I'm parsing his 409 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 3: words and knowing that he doesn't offer a lot, but 410 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 3: sometimes he offers a little when he offers that he 411 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: might split up the righties that Sanchi is better at home, 412 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: and it's undeniable. When he offers that stuff. I get 413 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 3: the I get the vibe that that's the way he's 414 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: going to go. And these guys might all already know it. 415 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 3: But look, it's a good problem to have. If they 416 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 3: all pitch, it's a really good problem to have. 417 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: So Jimmy mentioned words said what a segue. Jim thank 418 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: you so much. It's time for them to fighting words. 419 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: Them's fighting words is presented by Shibe Vintage Sports. Get 420 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: unique throwback phillies, te's hats and sweatshirts from local artists 421 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: at their shops in Center City, Wayne and Westchester and 422 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: at Shibe sports dot com. 423 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 4: Let's fill this place up with uppercuts exactly. 424 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 3: You know, you know, in a hockey fight, rubin, the 425 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 3: uppercut is a it's it's an underutilized weapon. 426 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 4: Yes, a lot you gotta work underneath, but. 427 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: It's when you come with that one uppercut that you win. 428 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 3: Because there's not a lot of uppercuts. 429 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 4: Because they have those, they have those those masks and 430 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: the helmet. Man you got to work underneath. 431 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 5: And Opper ask comer and operant to talk to Paul 432 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 5: Holmgan about that, and Uppercut. 433 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 3: Can be a a. 434 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: I lost to Jim, Well, we lost Jim. Jim's Jim's 435 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: internets went out, Ruben, I'm still with you. I'm all right, 436 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: all right, So let's let's we'll come back if Jim 437 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: hops back in them's fighting words. Here's a quote that 438 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski gave this week, Rubin, I want to get 439 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: your feeling on this. This is from Dave Dombrowski at 440 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: the workout on Tuesday. I don't feel like our window 441 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: is closing. I keep hearing that, but I think what 442 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: happens is that sometimes it closes with current players that 443 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: that you have, but it doesn't mean that it closes. Overall, 444 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: the lot of talk about the window for this team 445 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: and is it closing and is it limited? And I 446 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: guess I can't disagree with Dave Dombrowski said, you were 447 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: you've been in this spot. Yeah, twenty ten, twenty eleven. 448 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, we were a difficult position in After twenty eleven, 449 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 5: we still felt like we were going to be okay. 450 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 5: And Ryan Howard had that obviously had the achilles issue, 451 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 5: but he was well on track to get back early, 452 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 5: and people a lot of people don't know this, but 453 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 5: he ended up getting an infection and that pushed him 454 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 5: back even more time. And then and then it started 455 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 5: to affected the rest of his body, his knee, et cetera, 456 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 5: et cetera, and we lost those started to lose, you know, 457 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 5: we lost Halliday and we ended up putting ourselves in 458 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 5: a position where you know, you have started having the breakdowns. 459 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 5: I don't think that this team, I mean, we're talking 460 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 5: about guys who are thirty one, thirty two years old, 461 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 5: and I think they're going to be really productive players 462 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 5: like the big boys in this in this lineup that 463 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 5: you spent a lot of money on. There, they're going 464 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 5: to be in like there, you know, thirty age, thirty two, 465 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 5: thirty three, that's. 466 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 4: I mean to me. 467 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 5: And with the way these guys take care of themselves 468 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 5: and their body types. I mean you see even a 469 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 5: guy like Schwarber who's put himself in an unbelievable position 470 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 5: body type wise, I mean, he's in great shape now 471 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 5: and as a DH I don't think this windows that's 472 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 5: you know, that tiny. 473 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 4: I think they've got some time still. 474 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 5: I think that the prime years of these guys still 475 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 5: are probably two or three years away. 476 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 4: But I mean that's when you reload. I want you 477 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 4: start reloading. 478 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 5: And I think that's exactly what John Milton wants to do, 479 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 5: and I'm sure that's what David den Browski wants to 480 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 5: do with some young players and some free agents that 481 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 5: you'll bring in. 482 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: And they also have you know, they're really really high 483 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: on Aiden Miller their top position player prospect. 484 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 2: You know, you have Justin Crawford. 485 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: Both of those guys were in double A reading this year. 486 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: So man, they're getting close. They're getting very very close. 487 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: And depending on how guys do Johann Rojas and center field, 488 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: Justin Crawford could be pushing. 489 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 2: Him next season. 490 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: You know, I think Jim mentioned this, so maybe a 491 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: month or so ago, Aiden Miller and Bryce and Stott. 492 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: You know, Aiden Miller, they'll find a position for him 493 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: to play if they think that he's ready, and one 494 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: of the infielders is struggling. 495 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 2: And of course you have Andrew Paynter, so rubin a 496 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: couple more things. 497 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: Left field and center field, platoon situations. Rob's been asked 498 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: a lot about this, a lot about this. How do 499 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: you set it up? Austin Hayes is now back. He's 500 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: had a sore back. He missed the last weekend in DC. 501 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: How do you set up left field? How do you 502 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: set up center field? Is there a particular matchup they like? 503 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: Do you go all defense to go? I'm putting Marsh 504 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: and left. I'm putting Rojas and center. That would make 505 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: a lot of sense with the flyball pitcher on the mound. 506 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: Do you go just pure matchups against left? Do you 507 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: put Hayes and left and you know, Rojas and right? 508 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 2: Whatever? 509 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 4: What do you like? 510 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 5: You may see a little bit of a difference depending 511 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 5: on where they play, But I like having Rojas and 512 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 5: center field period. I want to stick them in center field. 513 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 5: I want the defense. I've watched these games. At one 514 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 5: play that one line drive in the gap that he 515 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 5: would get to that I know that Marsh could not. 516 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 4: I think that's big. 517 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 5: I don't think Marsh played very well in centerfield in 518 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks. I just feel like, not 519 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 5: that he's a lie ability out there, but I mean 520 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 5: there's a lot of plays that were made or not 521 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 5: made out there in center field, and I think. 522 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 4: That's just too important. 523 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 5: I would put him in center field, and I would 524 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 5: platoon those two guys in left field. If it was 525 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 5: this left handed starter, I would I would go ahead 526 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 5: and let Austin Hayes play left. If it was a 527 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: right handed starter, I'd go ahead and play marsh and left. 528 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 5: I'm not beholden to that. I really feel like I'm 529 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 5: not beholden to either one of those players having to 530 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 5: play every day. I really believe that you know your 531 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 5: best defense obviously, and Hayes is pretty good outfielder, but 532 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 5: your best defense is with Johann Roawson center and h 533 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 5: and Marshian left. Who's an outstanding left fielder. I mean it, 534 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 5: arguably it could be a gold Glove type left fielder. 535 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 5: So and and when you have a guy who's limited 536 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 5: as far as his overall range is concerned in right 537 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 5: field and Castillanos, especially in New York where there's a 538 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 5: much bigger gap to gap area, I think you've got 539 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 5: I think you absolutely have to play Rojas in center. 540 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 4: I can see. I don't agree with this. 541 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 5: I can see them playing Marsh in center against the 542 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 5: right hander and having Austin Hages play left. 543 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: I don't like it. There's my defense out that I 544 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 4: want my centerfielder making plays. 545 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people are concerned about 546 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: Rojas's offense, but he's had some better at bats recently, 547 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: and he you know, he's bunted, he's he's put the 548 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: ball in play. And Rojas last year, of course, he 549 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: was like, what four for forty three in the postseason. 550 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: And I looked this up. 551 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: I wrote about this yesterday. The Phillies only pinch hit 552 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: for Rojas twice all postseason. Last year, they pinch hit 553 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: for him, and I think it was Game seven with 554 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: Jake Cave and then in Game five they pinch hit 555 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: with Christian Pace or vice versa. That's not going to 556 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: be an issue this year because I think they have 557 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: better bench options. So I think you're gonna you're gonna 558 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: see Rob Thompson be way more aggressive. There's a basis 559 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: loaded situation in the sixth in and there's a tough 560 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: right hander on the mound and Cody Clemens is on 561 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: the bench. Cody, They're gonna go to Cody Clemens, no doubt. 562 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: I don't know who's going to be the last man 563 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: on the bench. It could be Cal Stevenson, it could 564 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: be Weston Wilson, but whoever, it is the same thing. Seventh, 565 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: seventh inning, tough at bat for Johann Rojas. 566 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 2: He's out of there. 567 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: Rob's gonna go to the bench. They did not have 568 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: that option last year. Uh with with the bench. Uh 569 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: just didn't have a great bench last year. And I 570 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: think I think that's. 571 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely did not. 572 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 5: I totally agree with you, Jake Cave, Okay, I mean 573 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 5: he was sort of dangerous, not a great hitter. I 574 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 5: mean Cody Clemens, he's a much more accomplished guy. I 575 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 5: think he will handle it much better. I think he's 576 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 5: a better hitter overall. He's got better options. I think 577 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 5: that you're gonna see maybe maybe two switches. I mean 578 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 5: you'll see maybe they'll have Clemens come in and they'll 579 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 5: have to burn him. They'll might burn him, and then 580 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 5: that will go to because he'll go to a left 581 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 5: hander out of the pen, and then we'll have to 582 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 5: be used Western Wilson or whomever is sitting on the bed, 583 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 5: whether it's maybe it's Hazy sitting on the bench at 584 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 5: the time, whatever the case may be. I just feel 585 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 5: like that's why you have to in my mind, you 586 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 5: absolutely have to have you have to have our our 587 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 5: man rohas in center field. It's just too important. 588 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 3: Jim I apologize. I lost my internet back. It's you know, 589 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 3: the people who are against hockey fights. They got me. 590 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 3: I was talking about hockey. What did did you guys? 591 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 3: I'm sorry you might have covered this. Do you see 592 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 3: platoons in left field and second base? 593 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: Well, we talked, I was I was just gonna ask 594 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: you about second base. We talked about left field, But 595 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: what do you. 596 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: Think about there? 597 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 4: I do believe. I think they're gonna platoon there myself? 598 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 4: Why not? 599 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 3: I think it makes the most sense. You need to 600 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 3: win eleven ball games. You put the best lineup on 601 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 3: the field, left, right, whatever, So I would do the 602 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 3: same at second base. I would platoon at second base. 603 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 3: I really would. We've seen a large box do your 604 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 3: work this year from Stadt. He's a heck of a player. 605 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: He just hasn't had the year or that he had 606 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 3: last year. Hasn't handled fast balls, hasn't hit uh left handers. 607 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 3: Sosa hits left handers. You need eleven wins. I think 608 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 3: I would sacrifice a little defense there, and because Sosa 609 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 3: is not not bad, it's not a huge drop off, 610 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 3: and I would play. I would use a platoon there. 611 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: I think that's the where we go, right. 612 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 4: I would too. And you know we did it in 613 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 4: ninety three. 614 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 5: We had three platoons, we had left, right and second base. 615 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 5: And I know they did it all year long, and 616 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 5: they haven't done it necessarily all year long this this season. 617 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 5: But I got no problem taking taking a start out 618 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 5: of that lineup, putting ed Mundo Sosa against Saramonya. I 619 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 5: don't have any problem with them pitching against playing against Kitana. 620 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 4: Why not Manaya is nasty against left handers. 621 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 5: Get his ass out of there and put Mundo Sosa 622 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 5: in there and see if he can do some damage. 623 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 3: I could see Rob doing it. 624 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 6: I could see right. 625 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: I think you know they had that game plan, kind 626 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 3: of the roadmap to go to uh Jose Alvarado against 627 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 3: Jordan Alvarez in Game six in the World. There's a 628 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 3: couple of years ago, he stuck with Kimberle, He's stuck 629 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 3: with Rojas last year, and some of those decisions blew 630 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 3: up on him. I think he's going to be more 631 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 3: flexible this year and to make those calls that he 632 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 3: ordinarily wouldn't have because he's very committed to his guys, 633 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 3: and he's gonna be more flexible and and and I 634 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 3: also think he has the personnel that, you know, like 635 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: you mentioned deeper bench that's going to allow him to 636 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 3: do that type of stuff. 637 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean people remember don't remember that, but there 638 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: were talk last last postseason about they got to start Christian. 639 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 4: Pace in centerfield. 640 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm like Christian Pace, his guys hit one to eighty 641 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: one in the Big leagues. His entire life as ops 642 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: is five hundred. You're kind of splitting hairs there when 643 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: you're talking about Christian. 644 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: Pace or Johann Rojas. 645 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: But now you have Clemens and Wilson and and and 646 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, all these other guys that you can move 647 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: in there. So a couple other things before we wrap up. 648 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: This doesn't shouldn't really come into play, but doesn't sound 649 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: like Spencer Turnbull is going to make the postseason roster 650 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: that at least in the NLDS. It sounds like he 651 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: was pretty erratic on WEDNESDA in the Inner Squad game, 652 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: and Rob basically said the guy needs more time. So 653 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: if anybody was wondering about Spencer, term a lot of 654 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: talk about him. Does not sound like he's gonna be 655 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: on the NLDS roster. I don't know who the last 656 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: man is gonna be maybe Max Lazar, maybe Colby Allard. 657 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if if you're seeing either of those 658 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: two guys, it's probably not good for the Phillies, So 659 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, let's yeah. I don't think we need to 660 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: focus too much on the last man in the bullbmen 661 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: unless it's an extra ending game or they're getting their 662 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: brains beat in and something horrible has gone on and 663 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: you're going, Max Lazar, Colby Allard is in the game. 664 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: So do we have any predictions before we wrap this up? 665 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: Who do we got? 666 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: Phillies, Mets, nlds. 667 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: What are we thinking? 668 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 6: I'm going hard, hard fought, intense, entertaining, must see TV 669 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 6: riveting series, gonna go to distance with the Phillies advancing 670 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 6: in five. 671 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: People are gonna die, They're gonna be so nervous. 672 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 4: I love it. I love the nerves. I love it. 673 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 5: I think it's going. I think it's going five games. 674 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 5: But it's this team, the New York Mets, have some 675 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 5: mojo going. I believe in in the Phillies. I believe 676 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 5: in Rob Thompson. I think he's gonna make some adjustments 677 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 5: with the way he manages this this series as opposed 678 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 5: to what he's done in the past. 679 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 4: I think he's learned for some things, and I think 680 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 4: I're going win in five. 681 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Phillies in four, I'm gonna say they 682 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: cool all the Mets vibes. 683 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 2: This is a team on a mission. 684 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: They've had a good work week from what you know, 685 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: we've heard and seen, and I think their intent on 686 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: doing what they did not do last year. So I 687 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: think they they they lose one, they win in four, 688 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: and then they go on and play the Potters or 689 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: the Dodgers in the NLCS. So we'll be back throughout 690 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: the postseason. We're gonna try to wrap up games as 691 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: we go along here.
