Speaker 4: Yeah, the old Sony walk Man headphones.

Speaker 5: These these work, that's the key. They work good. Like

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 5: you guys are both fuzzy right now. So your equipment

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 5: is shaking.

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: I am not fuzzy.

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: It's my hotel Internet. I'm like everywhere in Florida. I

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: feel like I'm encased in concrete. My phone has been

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: just terrible. My Internet's been terrible ever where I went.

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: So looking forward to getting back to normal Wi Fi

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: conditions so I can live like a normal human being. Guys,

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: the Phillies won last night's Wednesday Night seven to nothing.

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez six scoreless sittings, one hit home run from

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: trade turner Johann Rojas with the safety squeeze and executed

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: safety squeeze play.

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 6: I love that play, my favorite play.

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 4: It's a good Why Jim, I.

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 5: Just love the safety squeeze. It's about back control, it's

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 5: about a managerial decision. It's a base running play from

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 5: third base. It's almost indefensible if executed properly.

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: It is in defense.

38
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Well, you're absolutely correct, And a nice job by Rohatch

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: getting on a tough pitch that kind of beared in

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: on him, just to get it down softly.

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 5: Somewhere you got that first basement holding that guy on

42
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 5: every time first and third boom.

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this question, then, why don't

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: we see more of it?

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 6: Well?

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that situation has a situation, Yeah, and

47
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: the situation has to be right.

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 5: You know, it's not always an optimal situation. But honestly,

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: I didn't even see the play because I was flipping

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 5: between the leafs and the Panthers.

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: Were watching the Celts.

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 6: No, I wasn't watching this.

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 5: I was the Stanley Cup and I was reading the

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 5: play by play this morning, and I see, you know,

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 5: first and thirty puts down a there's a button. I

56
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 5: don't know if it's a safety, but I'm reading the

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 5: play by play and it sounds like a safety to me.

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 5: And then I asked Todd this morning because sometimes you'll

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 5: see that play and it's actually not a safety. Sometimes

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: you'll see a runner or take off from first base

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 5: and and the and the and the batter swing and

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: it's not a hit and run, you know, right, Sometimes

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 5: you have to clarify that stuff with the old skipper.

64
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 6: So it was good to see that.

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: To me.

66
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 5: People like the term small ball. I call it right ball.

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 5: I call it correct ball. I call it the way

68
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 5: he's supposed to play the game.

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: They put together a tremendous, tremendous fourth inning after really

70
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: bearing down and wearing down boss. I mean, they did

71
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: a really nice job in the early part of the game.

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: I talked about it on the broadcast about you know,

73
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: those those are bats that they had early in the

74
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: game when they were just wearing them down. They led

75
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: to the you know, to that fourth inning because the

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: guy was it was he was starting to get beaten down.

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: He was averaging like twenty to twenty five pitches per

78
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: inning and then he left and pitches in the middle

79
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: of the plate and he just kept banging in into the.

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: Holes opposite way. Base it, base it, grinded it out,

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: base it. They didn't have to hit the home run.

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: I know Turner hit the home on early, but.

83
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 6: After that ball, did he attack that ball or what?

84
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to see and I'd like to see

85
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: him do a little bit more of that.

86
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, he's started to feel confident and good

87
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: about a swinging.

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 6: That swing just oozed confidence.

89
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: That was the WBC swing. That was a WBC swing

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: that you saw when he was having I'm serious, when

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: he was having a lot of success during the WBC

92
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: at Mark Durosa. And if you haven't seen that episode,

93
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: you got to check it out. He talked about that

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: a lot and how how he just loved Trey Turner

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: and the way he was swinging and stuff. But hey man,

96
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: it was just a beautifully played baseball game, simple as that.

97
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 5: I have to admit, like Taiwan to the bullpen, I

98
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: was and I still have some concern and skepticism that

99
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 5: the stuff will play really do. But I'll tell you what,

100
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: last night, all his stuff was boom up. Everything played up.

101
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: That's a great sign. Seven strikeouts.

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

103
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: It was funny. After the game we were talking to Tie.

104
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: I said, wow, your splitter was really good last during

105
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: the game, he said, I didn't think it was good.

106
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, you got some swings and misses off it,

107
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: so I guess it must have been.

108
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: It must have been pretty pretty solid.

109
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: But going back to trade guys, you talked about his

110
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: his swing. He said after the after the game Wednesday

111
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: night that before the game he was in the cage

112
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: really focused on pulling the ball and getting it in

113
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: the air. And I know when people here like getting

114
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: it in the answer, oh no pop ups, pop ups,

115
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: But that's not what he was saying. He was saying,

116
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: trying to hit some line drives, trying to hit some doubles,

117
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: trying to hit for a little bit more power to

118
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: his pull side because he has not been doing that

119
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: too much. And uh, you know, because Rob Thompson before

120
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: the season base he said, don't worry about home runs,

121
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: get on bass, score runs, steel bases. Don't worry about

122
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: hitting home runs, and so asked him, So I assume

123
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: you feel that hitting for power and getting on base

124
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: aren't two mutually exclusive things for you. It's like, absolutely not.

125
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: I think I think I can do both. So, you know,

126
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: Trey Turner has been on a role I think, what

127
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: is it his last sixteen games. Uh, he is hitting

128
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: three ninety seven nine thirty one ops four forty six

129
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: on base percentage, and that on base percentage in his

130
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: last sixteen games is fifth best in baseball during that

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: during that span. So he's been on a heck of

132
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: a role.

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you see his reaction after he hit the

134
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: in the Do you guys see the reaction in the

135
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: dugout after he hit that ball? He was like wow,

136
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: he was like a surprising show. I mean, it's really

137
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: cool to have a guy going to the cage and

138
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: work on the stuff and talk about it and then

139
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden executed in the game. Dude, that's

140
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: not that's not easy to do. That's not easy to do.

141
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: And sure enough he just smokes this ball. I mean,

142
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: it was an absolute missile.

143
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 5: The way he the way he unloaded on that pitch.

144
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 5: It was almost like he knew what was coming.

145
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting, that's interesting.

146
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: But he was he was psyched, obviously, I said afterward,

147
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: I said, you know, it had been a while, you know,

148
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 2: since he had homered. He hadn't homeward since May April ninth.

149
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: He says, oh, yeah, it felt like it had been

150
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: a while. So I think he was psyched about that. So, guys,

151
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: we asked for audience questions, viewer questions, listener questions, and

152
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: our Wednesday episode and we got a ton. But before

153
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: we do, I do want to talk about Delco because

154
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: I'm from Delco and you know, people say Delko is

155
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,840

201
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're looking forward to going to that winery,

202
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: the Pennsburg Winery on Sunday.

203
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: That would be a lot of fun.

204
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: So, guys, we got a ton of questions, and let's

205
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: start with this basically, and these these three came flooding

206
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: in last night after the game flooding.

207
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: How many more three innings saves the season?

208
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: Will Taiwan Walker throw a while? That's from dom S

209
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: on Instagram. Our buddy Pat Krit's on Blue Sky says

210
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: we'll close her cy.

211
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: Walker be standing on the bump when the Phillies.

212
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: Record that final championship, clinching out of the twenty twenty

213
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: five World Series, and jam Er mcdeon Blue Sky says

214
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: after the night, could Taiwan be the missing bullpen arm?

215
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: His stuff over one to two innings can play? Wonder

216
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: if that keeps him on the roster. So do you

217
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: guys have any thoughts on more thoughts?

218
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: Yeah? Now I know.

219
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: Now I know why you cut me off when I

220
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 5: started talking about Taiwan Walker a minute ago.

221
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 4: I didn't want you to go deep bunch.

222
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: Yeah No, I like I said, I I've had concerns

223
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 5: whether the stuff. I had concerns whether the stuff would

224
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 5: play in the rotation and whether it'll play in the bullpen.

225
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 6: And I probably still do. But I'll tell you what.

226
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 5: Last night he hit ninety four plus and he had

227
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: seven strikeouts.

228
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 6: He did something right.

229
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 5: So you need that multi inning arm down there, and

230
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 5: he did a heck of a job. Who's to say

231
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 5: it can't play if he's getting some deception, if he's

232
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 5: getting you know, if he's changing some speeds, if he's

233
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: got just enough on the fastball to create some separation

234
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 5: with split. Maybe that's why the split was good last night.

235
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 6: So I am putting.

236
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 5: Anything past him because he's shown a lot of a

237
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: lot of a lot of guts, a.

238
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Lot of mockxy.

239
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

240
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean, let's think about what's happened to him over

241
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: the last what four or five months. It's a guy

242
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: that basically people wanted a jettison and for him to

243
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: do what he did in the offseason and get himself

244
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: right and to put himself in a position to be

245
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: ready for this spring. Basically pitched well enough to be

246
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: in a rotation. I know Suarez was down. Had Saz

247
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: not been down, man, it may not have been made

248
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: the team, right. I mean, he probably would have made

249
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: the team because of the salary. But he pitches his

250
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: rear end off as a starter, does really quite well.

251
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: His stuff is up and then you know, and then

252
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: he really didn't deserve to go into the into the pen,

253
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: but was the only real.

254
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: Candidate to go into the pen at this point.

255
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: And for him to do what he did, go into

256
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: the pen, not bitch and complain about it. He went,

257
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: did his job, had a great three innings. Uh, And

258
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: for him to perform at that level. I know it's

259
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: not a great Tampa Bay Rays, it just isn't. But

260
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: he had lots of swings and misses. His foot was

261
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: pretty good. He's his sinker, had some wife to it,

262
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: you know, punched out a couple of guys with the

263
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: with some action on it. And I got to give

264
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: this guy a ton of credit. Man, he deserves a

265
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: lot of love. And you never know, I mean, with

266
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Kirkering not throwing all that well right now, he may

267
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: slide into a position where he might be needed in

268
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: more leverage situations. Now it's not necessarily ideal, but hey,

269
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: sometimes you got to make adjustments on the fly.

270
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: Who knows, maybe he's pitching the seventh, eighth, and.

271
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 6: Ninth, I don't know.

272
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: Well, you know they would have Rob rushed out just

273
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: in case.

274
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, Rob Thompson said to that performance,

275
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: he goes, huh. He says, it kind of gets his

276
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: mind turning a little bit more of what he could

277
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: possibly become for them. But he said, right now, yeah, Rubin,

278
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: you're right, he said, for the time being, for the

279
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: short term, anyway, they still do want to keep him

280
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: stretched out because I guess they are still possibly considering

281
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: a six man rotation for a short stretch, so they

282
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: do want to keep him stretch out for that possibility.

283
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: But you know, Andrew Painter is making his first start

284
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: in Triple A Lehigh Valley on Thursday night, so he's

285
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: common maybe June July ish or julyish, I should say,

286
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: as Dave Dombrowski has said, so if Andrew Painter comes

287
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: up at some point, then maybe that's your six man rotation.

288
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: And now maybe Taiwan becomes a more viable late inning guy.

289
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was that.

290
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: Was that was kind of fun to see. You know,

291
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: I found this. I looked this up last night. You

292
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: guys might appreciate this. So this was Ties. That was

293
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: his first save.

294
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: Of his career.

295
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: Of course, right in the two hundred and twenty fourth

296
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: appearance of his career. And since saves became a stat

297
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty nine, Ties two hundred and twenty four

298
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: games our third most into a career of a player's

299
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: first save while pitching for the Phillies, so real Cormier

300
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: actually got his first save career save uh with the Phillies.

301
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: He was three hundred and fourteen relief appearances into a career,

302
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: and then actually Jose Ruiz last season was two hundred

303
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: and sixty four appearances in his career when he got

304
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: his first day of last September. So but but but

305
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: those guys were relieving for a long time or forever,

306
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: you know. So, but it was it was real three fourteen,

307
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Jose Cruz to sixty four and then Taiwan Walker to

308
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: twenty four. So Ty kept the ball after the game,

309
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: he said.

310
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he did, of course he did.

311
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: It's a big milestone.

312
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was pretty cool. It

313
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: was cool. So Steve Potter, you guys know Steve Potter,

314
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: he does all the he is down there and embedded

315
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: in clear Water doing all the minor league stuff, sends

316
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: out great reports on the Phillies, minor leaguers all over

317
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: up and down the system. And Steve sent us a question,

318
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: and this is looking ahead. So I thought this could

319
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: be kind of cool. Was wondering what trade value you

320
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: Fellas thought the following players would bring. Example, are they

321
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: a package part or player who could bring back a

322
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: big league contributor on their own. Here's a few names,

323
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: Auto Camp, Justin Crawford, Mick Abel, Johann Rojas, Auto. Camp

324
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: just named International League Player of the Week.

325
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: He was named Cole.

326
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: We talked about him in Wednesday's episode the co Player

327
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: of the Month, Phillies Minor League hit Player of the Month,

328
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: Hitter of the Month, and we know Crawford and Mickabe

329
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: mcabel actually also was a minor league Pitcher of the

330
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: Month for the organization.

331
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: So any thoughts on those guys.

332
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 5: Good to see mckabel get going because all of a sudden,

333
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 5: now build some trade value.

334
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 6: But okay, you're gonna be good.

335
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 5: Maybe you're gonna be built some Philadelphia value, right I'd say,

336
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: right now, Crawford could bring a good piece, and the

337
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 5: other guys are package pieces.

338
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 6: But it depends how you perform.

339
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 5: If you keep getting better and pitching good, you never

340
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: know what could happen, how another team views you, and

341
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 5: what they would be willing to give.

342
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 6: Up for you. So you know, what is it? Camp Abel,

343
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 6: Crawford and.

344
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: Camp, Crawford and Rojas.

345
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say like Rojas and Camp are package pieces,

346
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 5: able a package piece trending toward maybe you could get

347
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 5: something for him if he continues to pitch well.

348
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 6: In Crawford, I think you could get a big league

349
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 6: part for I don't know. Again, it's all in the

350
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 6: eye of the beholder. But it's good that they're all performing.

351
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the great options to have and great

352
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: depth to have of affilies. Hopefully they continue to perform

353
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: at that at those.

354
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: Levels right now.

355
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: Strangely, and people might disagree with this, Rojas might be

356
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: more important to this team than than you know, bringing

357
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: a different piece unless he becomes a package of something

358
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: really large, like someone who's going to be closing out

359
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: games or something like that. You do a Riohan Rojas

360
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: and Mike Abel for a closer or something of that nature.

361
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: Because there's got to be some teams that might view

362
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: Johann Rojas as a everyday center fielder for them, and

363
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: Mick Abel is somebody that can slide into their rotation

364
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. So when you guys have when you have

365
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: that many assets that close to the major leagues, it

366
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: becomes you know, for a GM or for another club

367
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: that's building, that becomes something that you really like to see.

368
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, again, beauty is in the eye

369
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: of the beholder. But they got to continue to perform,

370
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: and you know that if they bring bring you a

371
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: major league piece, that's a great thing.

372
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: But again, there's time.

373
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: There's time, and uh, and you want to continue to

374
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: build you know their value and hopefully they can.

375
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, mick Abel's pitch, his stuff is playing really well

376
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: right now in Triple A.

377
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 4: His his I think he's forcing fastball.

378
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: Last he started the season really slowly and he didn't

379
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 2: have he kind of lost some of his stuff, and

380
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: there were a lot of concerns about that, like what's

381
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: going on in mcabel. I obviously he had command issues.

382
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: He's throwing more strikes this season, and his fastball is

383
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 2: playing way up.

384
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 4: His stuff is playing way up.

385
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I wonder, guys, if mckabel continues on this

386
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: trajectory and continues to pitch well in May and into June,

387
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: could he elevate himself into that maybe headlining piece for

388
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: a you know, maybe not an everyday player, but maybe

389
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: Ryan Helsley or something like that. You know, Helsley is

390
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: going to be a free agent after the season if

391
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: the Cardinals don't want him. Could make Abel be a

392
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: guy where you're like, listen, we're giving you a first

393
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: round pick, a talented first round pick, of course, and

394
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: a starting pitcher that you're gonna have under team control

395
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: for six years for a two and a half month

396
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: rental in a closer. So I'll be curious to see

397
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: if he can I kind of elevate himself to that point.

398
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: And then Camp, man, that guy all he does is

399
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: hit hit, hit, hit, hit hit. But you know how

400
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: it is, guys, Like I feel like organizations go, well,

401
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: you know, can you play defense? Is there a spot

402
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: for and play? We've talked about it. And then I

403
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: feel like in those negotiations, right if you're the opposing GM,

404
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: don't you don't you go there like this guy was undrafted.

405
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not a he's not a true top prospect. Yeah,

406
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: he's self made, but come on, guys, you know where's

407
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: he gonna play? And don't you kind of like talk

408
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: the guy down? You know that type of thing. So

409
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: I think he's got to be part of a package.

410
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: But but man, Auto Camp has been really really good.

411
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 5: Hey can I can I throw out something that I

412
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: might get laughed off the podcast for but for the

413
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 5: sake of Pat Gillick and in the Knights at the roundtable,

414
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 5: sitting at the executive level of Citizens Bank Park brainstorming

415
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 5: and being creative, like you guys used to do a

416
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 5: rubin right, let's say nck. Abel continues to trend up,

417
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 5: the stuff, continues to play, strike throwing comes around. He

418
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 5: is still here at the trade deadline. His value is

419
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: in Philadelphia. Would you could you use him in the

420
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: bullpen August September. Now, I'm not saying it's a career change.

421
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 5: He still can be a starting pitcher down the road,

422
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: but could you use him in the bullpen to help

423
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty five Phillies in the second half and

424
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 5: maybe in the postseason if he's still here without closing

425
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 5: the door as a starter. Now, people are gonna say, well,

426
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 5: why wouldn't you do that with Painter. Painter's coming off

427
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 5: Tommy John. I'm concerned about that, and I also think

428
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 5: he's a little different tier of a prospect. But coming

429
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 5: off the injury and the Tommy John concerns me about

430
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 5: getting ready to come into a game. So I'm not

431
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 5: doing it with him, and Dobraski has already said they're

432
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 5: not doing it with him. But Abel continues to shine,

433
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 5: continues to get out. Two months from now, does the

434
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 5: creativity kick in and could he be a weapon out there?

435
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: I think it's a great call. Jim. But again, it's

436
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: about the makeup.

437
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: You just don't know whether this guy is going to

438
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: be able to take the baseball and throw strikes and

439
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: go after major league hitters, and that you don't know

440
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: until he's here. But it could it be a possibility. Sure,

441
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: why not if they feel like he has the stuff

442
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: and the gumption to be able to do that.

443
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 6: He's got the gumption. You got to get out to

444
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 6: find it.

445
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: You got to put him, you got to put him

446
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 3: in there.

447
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: Uh. I think that they're going to try to continue

448
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: to have the value be built, no.

449
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 6: Question, keep them in the starting rotation, keep him there.

450
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 6: But I'm saying down the road, not a bad call.

451
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: It's interesting you're thinking like am Jim, You're thinking like

452
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: a GM kid.

453
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 6: You know, I am a GM. I'm a garden manager.

454
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: We just had some deer, just some stuff in our garden. Jim,

455
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: we'll we'll talk about that off air.

456
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 6: You gotta get you gotta get be to come over

457
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 6: and shoot him.

458
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben David.

459
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: Right, But Ruben, I want to follow up on that, like,

460
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: how crazy are the ideas that you guys throw out there,

461
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: and did you guys encourage those crazy ideas to be

462
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: thrown out there.

463
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 4: Jim, you know, Jim kind of calf kidding.

464
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: He says, I don't want to be laughed off the podcast,

465
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: but I imagine our crazy ideas being thrown out there

466
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: every day.

467
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: One of the things that Pat Gillig used to talk

468
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: about all the time is creativity. I mean that that

469
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: was the reason why we ended up, you know, getting

470
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: Brad Lytch. Hey, let's just we need we need a

471
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: fifth starter, we need another starter. Let's just put Brett

472
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: Myers back, even though we pitched well and as a

473
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: as a closure, let's just throw him back in there.

474
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: We got a chance to go get brad Leedge. Just

475
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: throw him out there in the back end of the bullpen,

476
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: and and lo and be Oldie has what forty six

477
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: out of forty six saves or whatever it was. Sometimes

478
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: you just have to sort of be creative and think

479
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: about some things. And I think that's important. You got

480
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: to keep your eye, your your mind open.

481
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: And see what the situation dictates.

482
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: But sometimes you try to think outside the box and

483
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: it can.

484
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: Work for you.

485
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 5: I have another crazy idea, should it that will that

486
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 5: will get me laughed off the podcast.

487
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 6: But you know, everybody says oh, put ranger in the bullpen.

488
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 6: How about this? How about how about this?

489
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 5: You come around late in the season August September, and

490
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 5: your rotation's healthy, Wheeler's dealing, Nola's dealing, Rangers dealing, Lozardo's dealing.

491
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 5: You need a I like an explosive arm in the bullpen.

492
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 6: You need a stun gun in the bullpen.

493
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: I know it's gonna be unpopular because the way the

494
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 5: guy's pitching the rotation. But if your rotation is stacking

495
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 5: up really good going into you know, September October.

496
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 6: What about Christopher Sanchez out in the bullpen.

497
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: That would be throwing a nine miles an hour as

498
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: a stun gun.

499
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 5: Tell me that wouldn't demoralize some opponents. Now, it's all

500
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 5: incumbent on the rest of your rotation, healthy and dealing.

501
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 6: I know that.

502
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 5: It's like if you indeed have an embarrassment of riches

503
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 5: in the rotation and you're gonna shorten it up for

504
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 5: the postseason.

505
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 6: Ooh baby, you're right, Yeah, he has to.

506
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: He's got He's basically has those two pitches that can

507
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: be dominant pitches. His sinker will probably throw it if

508
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: he's coming out of the Pennty's throwing ninety eight to

509
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: one hundred. I mean the way he's throwing right now,

510
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: I could probably juice it up and then that change

511
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: up becomes even more effective. But it's like it's like

512
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: throwing a split. It's like one of the best pitches

513
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: in baseball swinging this. So he can go with a

514
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: two pitch mix, mixing the slider every once in a while,

515
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: but he can be really dominant. I mean, it's it's

516
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: a great idea. It's something that you you keep in mind.

517
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: It and Ranger Schwartz is also an option in that,

518
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: you know, because he's done, he got the dumption to

519
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: do it. He doesn't have the same level of stuff

520
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: overall as far as the velocities, but.

521
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 5: Not as a great ELOI he's not as explosive. And

522
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 5: this is all all the pieces have to come together.

523
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 5: Everybody else has to be thrown good and healthy and

524
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 5: healthy and healthy, and it's got to be like a

525
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: perfect storm. But you know, Christopher, go out there and

526
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 5: just blow away people on October and then come to

527
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 5: clear Water as a starter again.

528
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 6: You know. So yeah, this is just.

529
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I lay.

530
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 6: Awake at night thinking about yeah, well.

531
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: And I think you get that would be an easy

532
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: sell for for Christopher Sanchez because he's got the contract already. Yeah,

533
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: like you said, Jim, listen, this is just for the postseason.

534
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 2: We think we can win a World Series with you

535
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: doing this. Don't worry on February twelfth, when you get

536
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: to clear Water, you're gonna be right back in that

537
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: rotation as you're one of the best.

538
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, because Ranger is going to be gone

539
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 5: and you Ranger is going to be off the free

540
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 5: agency and you're gonna come back and you're gonna pair

541
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 5: with you know, Wheeler and Nola and Lozardo at the top.

542
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 6: And I just I don't know.

543
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 3: It can get your juices flowing, Jim, you look like

544
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: your juices are flowing.

545
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 6: Oh my, the juice was a firing.

546
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: He must have had a lot of coffee this morning

547
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: because you're You're like, why do you got all these

548
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: great ideas turning through your head?

549
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: I love it?

550
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 3: Apparently, Yeah, I have five shots in this one today.

551
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 2: So here's one from Ethan Smith on YouTube. And this

552
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 2: is the name that was mentioned a lot last season

553
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: at the before the trade deadline, where is Luis Robert Jr.

554
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: Is checked out on the White Sox.

555
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: Y'all think a trade trade deadline deal could happen this year.

556
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: So I just looked this up because I was like,

557
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: I actually looked him up a couple of weeks. I'm like, man,

558
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: he is not playing well. Luis Robert Junior is batting

559
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: one ninety five home runs, sixteen RBIs, six forty two ops.

560
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 4: So either he.

561
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: Has checked out or he has been He's just really

562
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: really playing bad baseball right now?

563
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: Would you guys be?

564
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 5: And the White White still want a lot for him,

565
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 5: and it's hard to flip the switch.

566
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 6: I'm I'm not feeling it.

567
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: Nope, I'm out. I'm out on Robert.

568
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 3: He might be able to, I mean, he might go

569
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: to a team and be rejuvenated.

570
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: Who knows he can go to another club and be

571
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: rejuvenated and play his ass off.

572
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 3: But I'm out on Robert.

573
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too.

574
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 2: I I I want nothing to do with that. If

575
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: he's checked out, what does that say about a guy?

576
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: You know, if that's what he's doing, If he's just like,

577
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: I'm tired of playing for the White Sox. Okay, well

578
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: that says a lot about you. If if if if

579
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: that's the case, if that's really why he's been struggling.

580
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: And if that's not why he's been struggling, then I

581
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: also want out.

582
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm.

583
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: Gonna pass on both of that. This has been brought

584
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: up a few times. I thought we'd mentioned it. Tom

585
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: g on Blue Sky. Could we see a scenario where

586
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: they move Turner to center this year and either move

587
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: sosas Stott to short or acquire a new shortstop.

588
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: Don't not during the season.

589
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, not during the season.

590
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: Happening season.

591
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a discussion in the off season. It's not

592
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: happening during the season. I don't believe.

593
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 6: I agree that.

594
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 5: I still think he's gonna end up in the outfield

595
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 5: during his next eight more years. Here a trade Turner,

596
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 5: but you're gonna need the off season to put all

597
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 5: the you know, all the pieces in place.

598
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 4: From bow ninety two ninety two on Instagram.

599
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: If Crawford can justin Crawford continues to produce, do you

600
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: think either marsh or Rojas could be traded?

601
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, possibility.

602
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 4: It's a possibility. Yeah it is.

603
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: It is a possibility.

604
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: And again, you got to be sure that if you're

605
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: going to move and bring a guy like Crawford to

606
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: the big leagues, and I would assume if they bring

607
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Crawford it would be marsh that they might move.

608
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 4: You would almost almost have to be right.

609
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: It would almost have to be because you want to

610
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: keep the right handed bat. But who knows, We'll see.

611
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd have to be really I mean, how well

612
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: would Justin Crawford have to be playing where you feel

613
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: comfortable putting him out there, I guess, and playing every

614
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: day on a team that's trying to win the World Series.

615
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he is playing well. He's batting three twenty

616
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: three in Lehigh Valley, eight oh five ops, ten stolen bases,

617
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: eight doubles, two triples, so he's playing well.

618
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: Time back to the old That goes back to the

619
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: old mantra for me. I mean, you don't necessarily want

620
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: to move big major league pieces off your team and

621
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: replace them with minor league pieces because it doesn't.

622
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: Necessarily make your team better.

623
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: But if they feel comfortable with Rojas playing in case

624
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: he falters at the major league level.

625
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 6: Who knows got it?

626
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 5: And this is uh, this is where you really have

627
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 5: to lean on your because you know the video and

628
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 5: the the data and the eyeballs tell you that a

629
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 5: kid's a good player and he's playing well, but you

630
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 5: really get a lean on your triple A manager, your

631
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 5: Triple A coaching staff to know about the makeup and

632
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 5: can this kid handle jumping into Filhiladelphia, the and a

633
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 5: Pennant race, because that's a big part of the equation

634
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 5: for me. You don't want them to come up here

635
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 5: and just like Shrink, you want them to continue to

636
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 5: play well. So, yeah, a lot of stuff go into

637
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 5: that determination. But I'll tell you what. Neither one of

638
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 5: those guys would hold up a trade for me if

639
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 5: I thought it was gonna make my club better.

640
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got more questions right after these words.

641
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 7: It is complicated enough to figure out what type of

642
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 7: car you want, but when it comes to pricing and

643
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,960

677
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: I've backed off on tweeting during games. It's just it

678
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: just becomes too much. And honestly, you know, I see

679
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: the comments. I'm just like, I can't Sometimes I just

680
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 2: can't deal with it. Mustang Red though, believe me, we

00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 6: Yes, tough guy.

684
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: Oh god, so did I mute him?

685
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: I probably muted him.

686
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: Never whoever, Oh my, here we go, here we go.

687

Speaker 4: Let's see.

688
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: Oh this is more of a comment than a question.

689
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: This is from Ren Slave on YouTube.

690
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 4: You know, the.

691
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: Fightings needed a West They need a Western hemisphere volcano

692
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: to go off in order to win it all, as

693
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: they did in nineteen eighty. In two thousand and eight,

694
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty, Mount Saint Helen's exploded. In two thousand and eight,

695
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: there was a volcano in Chili exploded, first one for

696
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: that in seven thousand years. So I guess we're rooting

697
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: for a natural disaster somewhere. Hopefully that's not Hopefully that's

698
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: in an area that's not populated, so i'd least.

699
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, at least our viewers are not superstitious.

700
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 2: Exactly like Jesus Lozada, who was starting on Thursday night.

701
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,120

708
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: town and reading pa great spot. I played in Buffalo

709
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: and at that time, I'm not sure how it is

710
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: now because it's in a long time, but that back

711
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: then it was like as close to the major leagues

712
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: as any other major league or minor league stadium. But

713
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: the one of Lehigh Valley is awesome too. Man, there's

714
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: a lot of really good ones out there. There's some

715
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: really good ones. And you know what, the one in

716
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: Trenton is awesome and they don't even have a team.

717
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: The one in Trenton is awesome and it's in great

718
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: location and they don't even have a team. I think

719
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: they're working on They're putting like twenty five million dollars

720
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: into it.

721
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: I saw some of the plans.

722
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: It's going to be a beautiful place and a team

723
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: should should jump on it because great support there as well.

724
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 6: You should buy a team in the area.

725
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: Man.

726
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,319

Speaker 6: I love that.

731
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,759

Speaker 5: the wrecking ball now, but it was a great old yeah.

735
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 3: And it was the only place I think I hit

736
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 3: a Grand Slam in my career.

737
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:52,799

Speaker 5: been challenged by them, banged heads with him, you know,

786
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: respect them and as people and baseball guys. And I've

787
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 5: honestly enjoyed every manager I've ever covered.

788
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: Here, I feel the same. Yeah, no, I I kind

789
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: of feel the same way. I think, you know, just

790
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: in terms of like conversation. You know, you can't beat Charlie,

791
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 2: but Rob Thompson as well, you know, just to really

792
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: you know, just down to earth, good good people. But yeah,

793
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: you're right, Jim, Like I I enjoyed covering Larry Bow,

794
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: although I wish I had more. I just started out

795
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: when I covering in two thousand and three. I wish

796
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: I had more experience. I think I could have enjoyed

797
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: it more because Larry was was tough. But you know,

798
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 2: Pete mccannon, Gabe cap. But people always ask me about

799
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 2: covering game like I tell you what, Gabe was fun

800
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: to cover because you know, something interesting to say, you know,

801
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: what what whatever you think about him as a manager.

802
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: He always had something interesting to say.

803
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: So the same thing you know Joe Girardi was was

804
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 2: not real chatty, but uh, you know, he was just

805
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: a great baseball person and it was fun. And you know,

806
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: Pete mccannon had dry sense of humor. You know, Ryan

807
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: Sammer is the Hall of Famer. So you know, you know,

808
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: all sorts, all sorts of those, all sorts of those guys.

809
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: I mean every manager is different, but yeah.

810
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 6: Oh totally, totally. I really wish personalities.

811
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,480

818
00:39:53,040 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 5: Charlie was always a trip. Yeah, Kapler was interesting, copy.

00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 5: have cream spinach with the steak. And I kind of

829
