Speaker 4: I know I heard. I had heard about that. My

00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 4: wife told me that.

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: It's like, I'm like, get the kids outside, throw them

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: in the backyard for an hour before dinner, let them

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: get run the energy out of them.

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 5: Hey, before we get going, I got to say something

22
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 5: I saw.

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 6: I was walking around the city yesterday, beautiful day, and

24
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 6: I saw this dude walk out of a condo complex

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 6: down in downtown.

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 5: And he was with his daughter and they were walking

27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 5: out together.

28
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: What did they have in their hands?

29
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 6: Gloves and a baseball and they were gonna go have

30
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 6: a catch. The girl couldn't have been more than nine

31
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 6: or ten years old, the dad probably in his forties

32
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 6: or fifties.

33
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 5: I got so fired up when I saw it.

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 7: I was like, this is sweet, man, this is just

35
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 7: they went to Washington Square and they were getting ready

36
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 7: to have a catch.

37
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: Oh that is great, and what a great place to

38
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: do it too, Washington Square in Center City.

39
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: What like, that's a that's a scene right there.

40
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 5: It was really cool.

41
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: I loved it.

42
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 4: And Baseball's back, baby, Baseball's back.

43
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: I walk out in my front yard the other day.

44
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: It was chilly, and I hear ping, ping, ping, and

45
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: the kid up the street is in his driveway heading

46
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: into a net.

47
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: So that's all little teawork, a little teawork.

48
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's great. He's pretty serious Baull High school kid.

49
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: But it's it's great to see when you know, people

50
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: get out there and throw it around and work at

51
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: their game.

52
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: When when I was home on Saturday last this weekend,

53
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: I was home for a couple of days. It was

54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: it was nice enough where I took my son out

55
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: to his school and I just in between dropping off

56
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: my daughter at dance and picking her up. I said,

57
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: we're gonna go hit some balls, take some ground balls.

58
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: So I hit to him forty five minutes and the

59
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: best part was after resolver.

60
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: He goes, that was really fun, Dad.

61
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 3: So I'm like, nice, Yes, So we had fun with it.

62
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: That's that's that's the most important thing.

63
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: Keep them wanting great, Dad worked there.

64
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: Keep them wanting to come back, that's the key, right.

65
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's so the Phillies played Monday, Tuesday and

66
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: Fort Myers.

67
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: They're off on Wednesday.

68
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: They get back to action on Thursday, and uh, we

69
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: thought that we would spend a day the other day.

70
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: On Monday, we talked about Matt Strum's shoulder issue and

71
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: a couple other things that popped up in camp. But

72
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: today we wanted to get back to your questions because

73
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: we did get a ton of questions. So are you

74
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: guys ready to tackle a few? Let's go, all right,

75
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: let's start. Let's start with this.

76
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 4: We got a lot of questions about the roster.

77
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: There's fifteen days before opening day, okay, so it's here's

78
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: a question from from S. H.

79
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: Cooper nineteen fifty eight. This is on Instagram.

80
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: He says, seems like the last bench spot is still

81
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: a battle. If the roster had to be set today,

82
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: who do you think gets it? Do you guys have

83
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: any thoughts on that. I did a roster projection today

84
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 3: Tuesday for MLB.

85
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: Dot Com and I.

86
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: This is just what I put down. I'll probably be wrong,

87
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: but if you guys want to hear it. I had

88
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: a bench that had Johann Rojas actually starting the season

89
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: in Triple A, and I had Buddy Kennedy and Cody

90
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: Clemens making the teams as those bench spots. I had

91
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Rafael Marshawn making the team as the backup catcher. The

92
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: reason why I had Johann Rojas starting the season in

93
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: triple A couple of reasons. Number one is he hasn't

94
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: played center field this Springy jammed his shoulder, he hasn't

95
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: he started throw. They say he's going to get out

96
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: there eventually, but it hasn't happened yet. Number two is

97
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: they keep saying Brandon Marsh is an everyday player.

98
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: We want to see what he can do against left

99
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: handed pitching.

100
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: Well, if you're gonna see if Brandon Marsh is an

101
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: everyday player, I think you have to run run him

102
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: out there every day.

103
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 4: So now what happens to Johann Rojas? Is there enoughing

104
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: bats for him in Triple A? Is there enough that

105
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: bats for him in the big leagues?

106
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: You know, is it enough to maybe start him twice

107
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: a week, maybe have Marsh move over to left.

108
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: Or you know, how is that gonna work? Exactly?

109
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: So I say, if you're gonna play Marsh every day,

110
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: you want to continue to develop Rojas, maybe he starts

111
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 3: the season in Triple A.

112
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: So that's what I went with.

113
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: I went with Kennedy Clemens, Marshawn and Edmundo Sosa on

114
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: the Phillies bench.

115
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 4: Is that is that out there?

116
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: That's no? I think that's uh. There's a lot of

117
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: logic behind that. I mean, Rojas has not played the outfield.

118
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: He's got this little shoulder thing, and they're slow playing it.

119
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: It almost like gives them an out to send him

120
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: to Triple A so he can play every day and

121
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: they can give Marsh an extended look as an everyday

122
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: guy in center field. I mean, I don't think if

123
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: you want to see if Marsh can play every day,

124
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: I don't think he can do it in two weeks,

125
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: three weeks. Gotta give him a run gotta give him

126
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: a month, five weeks, six weeks, give him some time.

127
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: And every time I look up this buddy Kennedy who's

128
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: out of options, get another head. He had two more

129
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: hits on Tuesday and against the Red Sox. Oh and

130
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: he walked twice as well, getting on base. Clemens having

131
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: a great spring. So I kind of like what you're

132
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: doing there on your roster, Todd, I.

133
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: Don't mind it. And but I put my GM and

134
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: my manager hat on. Here's where I go.

135
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 6: I have to be able to with my bench guys

136
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 6: cover a couple of positions. One is shortstop, one is catcher, obviously,

137
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 6: and on a center field and I don't know if

138
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 6: there's another guy on the roster unless you put out

139
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 6: in center field that there's another center fielder.

140
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: If you don't have Rojas on the club.

141
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 6: Do you feel comfortable enough with Sosa floating out there

142
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 6: to center field.

143
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: He's not gonna be a great defender. You're gonna be

144
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 5: a little it's gonna be a little leaky out there.

145
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: And I have a concern.

146
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 6: So I think that either Mercado's gonna make the team

147
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 6: or Rojas is gonna make the team.

148
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 5: And it's because I got to cover my ass in centerfield.

149
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I get that, and so that's where I feel it. Now.

150
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 6: They may feel like, hey, we can if something happens,

151
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 6: much like a catcher situation, they can zip.

152
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Him, you know, zip Rojas back up.

153
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 6: If there's an outfielder that goes down or something like that,

154
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 6: Marsh happens to go down, that they can get Rojas back.

155
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 6: But my goodness, that's a very important position to leave

156
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 6: wide open. So I gotta believe that a guy like

157
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 6: Mercado or Rojas is gonna make the team.

158
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 5: I do believe that Coody Clemens is gonna make the

159
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 5: ball club.

160
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: So how does this happen?

161
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 6: So you got Roja, you got Marshawn probably because you

162
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 6: don't want to lose the catcher. You got uh ed

163
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 6: Mundo Sosa, and probably Clements.

164
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 5: But that's where that's sort of where I'm at.

165
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: And I know you're.

166
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 6: Gonna be a little short on the right hand side,

167
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 6: but I think that's.

168
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: What you go with and the other guys can go

169
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: to triple A. Mercado, Kennedy.

170
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if Kennedy has any options.

171
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: He's out of options, and that's an issue.

172
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 6: But Kenny doesn't play center field, so and I don't

173
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 6: want to lose Cody Clemens.

174
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 5: He's too important.

175
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 6: He's got too many big base hits, and he's a

176
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 6: guy who has proven that he can get off the

177
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: bench and get a knock, and that's important.

178
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: You need to have a guy like that. I think

179
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: that they're gonna go with either.

180
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 6: Ross or Mercado, uh, just because they need somebody to

181
00:07:59,360 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 6: cover him center.

182
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: When I'm putting together a bench, I want to win

183
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: that night's game. I'm not giving a whole lot of

184
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: credence to having a legitimate backup center fielder on my bench.

185
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: If Sos can go out there and give me five, six, seven,

186
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: eight innings in a pinch, I'll take it. And then

187
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: I'll have Rojas coming down four to seventy six here

188
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: the next day. And if I'm in if I'm in

189
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: Saint Louis, he can be on a six forty five

190
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: am flight and be in Saint Louis by eleven in

191
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: the morning and be in the lineup. If you're in

192
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: San Francisco, they have airplanes that go across the country.

193
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 2: This is not nineteen thirty eight when you had to

194
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 2: get on to Clackity Clack and take three days to

195
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: get to Chicago. So I think you can get to

196
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: get him here. He's your backup center field that he

197
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: just happens to be in Lehigh under this roster construction,

198
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: and you get him here the next day and he plays,

199
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: you only have to plug it for a few winnings.

200
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: In my opinion, in the backup centerfield. And I agree

201
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: with you, it's a premium position up the middle.

202
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 6: Hey, and listen, that's a really great way to keep

203
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 6: everybody on the team and not lose guys.

204
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean that way.

205
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 6: If pet Buddy Kennedy makes the club, he has out

206
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 6: of options. Otherwise he'd have to go through waivers or

207
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 6: get traded prior to going through that process.

208
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: This is a way.

209
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 6: If you send Garrett Stubs out and you send you know, Rojas.

210
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 5: Out, then you can basically keep all of your assets.

211
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 6: When I say assets, he can keep all your players

212
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: because you have them in triple A in case there's

213
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 6: a problem. And oftentimes they will do that, and they

214
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 6: may choose to do that, Jim, but if I'm a manager,

215
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 6: I want to be able to I want to cover

216
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 6: my butt that if something were to happen, I don't

217
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 6: want to lose a game for a fly ball that

218
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 6: goes in the left center field and the man can't

219
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 6: catch it.

220
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: I got another bench question for you, but we're going

221
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: to do it right after these words.

222
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: Ft FAM.

223
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 8: If you love ripping packs of cards, there is a

224
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 8: modern way to do that now on Arena Club with

225
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 8: their slap packs and crats. I know you love ripping

226
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 8: slab packs and getting that week card that you've always

Speaker 8: been looking for.

228
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you don't have to go through all the

229
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 9: other ones, all the crafts cards that are in there. Bang,

230
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 9: you just get the big one, the one that you're

231
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 9: just peeking right around the corner when you open that pack,

232
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,720

233
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,760

Speaker 4: We are back.

246
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 3: Okay, So we talked about what we think the bench

247
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: might look like right now, but this is kind of

248
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: a down the road question for a couple of weeks.

249
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: This is from j On blue Sky.

250
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: What are the odds that the guy who wins it

251
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: the last bench bench job isn't currently on the roster?

252
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: So I guess really like the big picture question, guys

253
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: is do you think they need to go out and

254
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: get somebody? Is it like the lack of a right

255
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 3: handed bat necessarily if you don't think Buddy Kennedy's the guy,

256
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: do you think they need to go out and get

257
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: somebody like they got, you know, Christian Pasha Field a

258
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: whole couple of years ago. We go way back, David

259
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: Delucci field a hole several years ago. Do they need

260
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: that guy or do you think that guy is already

261
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: in camp? Would you save your bullets for down the road?

262
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: I don't think they need a guy. If you really

263
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: want a defensive center field, or you can bring Mercado

264
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 2: out him to forty, figure out a way to get

265
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: him on. So I don't, you know, I don't know

266
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: who's gonna pop on the waiver wire. You never know,

267
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's imperative they bring in somebody

268
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: from outside. Reuben.

269
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 5: Let's not forget that Wes Wilson West and Wilson's around.

270
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: He is not dead.

271
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 6: The man is with us, uh and he's a very

272
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 6: good player, and he can play some center field.

273
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: He's a guy that control out there if need be.

274
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 6: When he's healthy, you know, he probably will start off

275
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 6: the season in triple A.

276
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: I know he's very disappointed and emotional.

277
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 6: About pulling that ribcage, but he's starting to run and

278
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 6: do some things, so he's might not be ready for

279
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 6: opening day.

280
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: But I mean he's the ideal piece, and they got

281
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: a guy. I mean, he's a guy. Mercado's a guy.

282
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: He's a good signing. They've got some depth there.

283
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 6: I don't think they're going to be going outside the organization.

284
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, especially if if you believe that Wilson's

285
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: gonna be get back and he can be the guy.

286
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: I don't think you need to go out and make

287
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: a trade for somebody for a few weeks. You know,

288
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that. I don't think it's that

289
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: dire of a situation for the Phillies. They have enough

290
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: guys to kind of get through over the next few weeks.

291
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: So let's see, let's go to another one. Am I

292
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 4: off back? This is a great Phillies question.

293
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: Fright night six six six six six six on Instagram

294
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: Once now, am I off base? I think the Romano

295
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: closer experiment is going to be a failure. So he's

296
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: already down on Jordan Romano. I mean he's on the ball.

297
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 3: I mean, I know he got hit around the other day,

298
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: but there's a lot of that was a lot of

299
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: bad defense behind him. I thought, you know, I think

300
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: it's way too early on that he has thrown the

301
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: ball well the early you know, everybody I've talked to

302
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 3: that's caught him seems to be very impressed with with

303
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: Jordan Romana. Do you guys have any feelings on Romanta?

304
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: He might not even be the closer to start this season.

305
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: Rob Thompson usually doesn't have a official closer, so it's

306
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: cool your jets.

307
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can say it's gonna be

308
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: a failure. You know, there's an old saying, you gotta

309
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: play the game right. We got to see. I think

310
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: he might get the first shot to be the closer.

311
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: And he's had very good years in the past, been

312
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: a two time All Star. There was a three season

313
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: stretch in Toronto where he had ninety five saves. He's

314
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: pretty down good. I know he didn't pitch a lot

315
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: last year because of the injury, but I think there's

316
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: a lot of upside there. I'm not ready to pronounce

317
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: it a failure until you know, we we see what

318
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: he's gonna do. Like I said, I think there's a

319
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,119
Speaker 2: lot of upside there. I like the acquisition.

320
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 6: I think that people need to chill and I think

321
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 6: in this particular instance, just got to wait to play

322
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 6: it out.

323
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: I like this guy.

324
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 6: I like the fact that he's pitched in in the tights,

325
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 6: pitch in the Al East. It's not an easy place

326
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 6: to pitch when you're pitching in Boston and New York

327
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 6: on the daily. Because he's pitched in Toronto. If he's healthy,

328
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 6: I think he'll help this club. If he's not, then

329
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 6: it you know, it could be a risk, but we'll see.

330
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: Matt Fricker seven on Instagram wants to no chances Bryson

331
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: Scott is able to have a bounce back here.

332
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: He seems very important.

333
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: For the lineup depth. Jim, why don't you start Bryson Scott,

334
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: bounce back guy.

335
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: The chances he can have a bounce back you're excellent,

336
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: and he's had a really nice spring so far, hitting

337
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: over three hundred. I think on Tuesday I looked at

338
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: the box score, two more hits and encouragingly, two more walks.

339
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: I think he's got eight walks. So you're seeing the

340
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: ball and getting on base and showing some selectivity, which

341
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: we know he has as a tool. Maybe it didn't

342
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: show it as much last year, but so I think

343
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: the chances of a bounce back year are are strong.

344
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: Maybe if that happens, Ruben, you might see Bryson Stott

345
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: in the leadoff spot.

346
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: I want to.

347
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 4: I know you do. There, let's go, let's do it.

348
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 6: I'm glad I don't have Rob Thompson's job because it's

349
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 6: not an easy one, but I like the idea of

350
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 6: going with Bryson Stott one Turner two, Bryce Harper three,

351
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 6: Shore or four, Boom five, Castiano six.

352
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, mix it up.

353
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 6: I still like that idea, but it may not happen,

354
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 6: but it could happen later on if he continues to

355
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 6: swing the bat the way he's swinging it and they're

356
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 6: not getting the production at the one hole that they

357
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 6: typically would like from Turner.

358
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 5: If Turner is the guy, then you might see that happen.

359
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: Thompson. Thompson has always said that he believes Bryce and

360
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Stock can one day be a leadoff man, and I

361
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: gotta think one day we will see it. But I

362
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: think right now they are permitted to getting a good

363
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: look at Trey Turner, followed by Bryce Harper, followed by

364
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: Alec Bohm, followed by Kyle Schwarber.

365
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 6: We'll find out in the last week of the spring

366
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 6: who's going to be leading off and who's hot.

367
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: He's alternated.

368
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: Rob is alternated between Turner and Schwarber the past few

369
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: days when they've been up here in clear Water. Joseph

370
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: Camisa on X he's been paying attention to Aaron Nola starts.

371
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: He said he's thrown as changeable lot, almost as much

372
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: as his sinker and curveball. Is he utilizing a new

373
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: pitch mix or just working on things? I mean we can.

374
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: This is a pretty quick one. I think he's just

375
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: working on things right now. Aaron Nola always talks every spring.

376
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: He talks all season long about fastball command, fastball command.

377
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: I need a command my fastball, And he has said

378
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: many many times, as you guys know, the change up

379
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 3: is kind of a constant work in progress for him.

380
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: He sometimes has a good feel for it, he sometimes

381
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: doesn't have a good feel for it.

382
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 4: The curveball.

383
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: I asked him this literally other I said, could you

384
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: just get out of bed in December and just rip

385
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 3: off a great curveball? And he kind of chuckled. You know,

386
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: he's a very humble man, that Aaron Nola. He goes, yeah,

387
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: I really don't need to work on that pitch so much.

388
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: So that's kind of what's going on with Aaron Nola.

389
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: Robert Richmond on X says, I know the talk of

390
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: resigning Schwarburg and Riale Muto is big, but is it

391
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: fair to say one of the two would have to

392
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: go for them to have a real shot at someone

393
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 3: in the off season like Kyle Tucker. If so, who

394
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: do you which one do you think is the better route?

395
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 3: So we're already looking towards the offs. But I understand

396
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: the question though, because coming into coming into camp, Real

397
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: Muto and Schwarbur were big topics of conversation.

398
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, you know, I don't know

399
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: which way they're going to go. If you know, if

400
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: this team flops, they're going to be ripe for him

401
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: major makeover. And they will be ripe for a major

402
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: makeover because those two guys will be free agents. Castianos

403
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: will be a year away from you know, only have

404
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 2: one year left on his deal. Ranger will be a

405
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: free agent. But if they have a great season, I

406
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: see both guys as important in your future. I don't

407
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: know who's gonna you know, maybe Mark Shohn steps in

408
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: for Real Mudo. I don't know. I'd certainly like to

409
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: have both those guys back on a short term deal

410
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: as we sit here right now, but a lot depends

411
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: on how this season goes.

412
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: Catching is such a premium and you just don't know.

413
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 6: And Kyles, whoever, means so much to the team other

414
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 6: than just being a really good offensive player, he really

415
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 6: does mean a lot to this ball club.

416
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: But I think that the.

417
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 6: Phillies may if they don't get a deal that they

418
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 6: feel comfortable with as they discuss you know, you know,

419
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 6: how they go about this.

420
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 5: I think that they may try to create enough flexibility.

421
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: To make some decisions later on.

422
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 10: Let these guys play their seasons out, see how they do,

423
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 10: let them see how how productive they are, and then

424
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 10: kind of go from there. And I think that may

425
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 10: be the ticket because they're you know, the numbers that

426
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 10: are out there as far as their payroll is concerned,

427
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 10: or astronomical thing, and so I.

428
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 6: Think they want to create a little flexibility there unless

429
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 6: they feel like they can get a deal done that

430
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 6: makes sense for them.

431
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, hypothetically, even if they would lose one of those

432
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 3: guys and Rangers Wars, it's not like they have you know,

433
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker's going to be probably another three.

434
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: Million dollars player. I mean probably probably, and that would

435
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: probably be very light.

436
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 3: Like if I went to you know, his agent and said,

437
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: how about three hundred MILI for Kyle Tucker, I think

438
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: I would get laughed out of the rooms. So you know,

439
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: you got to think about that as well. I don't

440
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 3: even know if that would be able to get the

441
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: job done.

442
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: I would love to have Schwarber back, and I'm a

443
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: big fan. I think he's so important on the field

444
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: and in the clubhouse. And I know some people cringe

445
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: when you say this because it's hard to quantify on

446
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: in terms of data and whatnot and analytics, but I

447
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: think he's a winning player, and I guess you can

448
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: quantify it that he goes to the postseason like every

449
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 2: year of his career. And for that reason, if I'm

450
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds, I don't get way ahead of myself,

451
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: but they got some good young players coming He's a

452
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 2: Cincinnati guy. He's a winner. They seem to always have

453
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: a need at DH. He's a guy I have in

454
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: my field of vision. You know, if the Phillies don't

455
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: resign him, the Cincinnati Reds, you know, almost like when

456
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 2: you guys brought in Tolmy, you know, yeah.

457
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 6: That would be a big move for them to get

458
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 6: themselves sort of back on the map. And he would

459
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 6: be a great piece for them because they have good

460
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 6: young players, they've got some scrappy players, their pitchings coming along,

461
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 6: and they've got one of the best managers in baseball there,

462
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 6: so don't be surprised.

463
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 5: Imagine the damage that man, that man.

464
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: Would do in that Oh God.

465
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: Smoked where the picture's mound is this high.

466
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 6: It looks like he could bunt it out of the ballpark.

467
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: Here, and you know he lives forty five minutes away. Yeah,

468
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: if I'm running the Cincinnati Reds, he's like my Jim

469
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: ptolemy circa twenty two or whatever it was here.

470
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 4: And it would be attractive to him, obviously. He's a

471
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: group of Reds fan.

472
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I was just I was just

473
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: talking to him the other day because Gabriel Rinconis. Kyle

474
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: texted Gabriel and Conis to talk about his leadership. Texted

475
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: him one day after they had this long talk in

476
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: the cage about hitting and Kyle just wanted to shoot

477
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: Gaba text Gabriel text saying, hey, man, if any of

478
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: that terminology anything is confusing, please reach out so I

479
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: can explain myself further whatever, and uh Rinconas was like

480
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 3: over the moon about it.

481
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: And so I asked Kyle, I said, were you ever

482
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: like that?

483
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: You know, wide eyed? He's like, oh, yeah, I remember

484
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: the day I made my debut. Buddy of mine has

485
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 3: is a common friend with Joey Votto. So Joey Voo

486
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 3: texted me because he knew I was a Cincinnati Reds

487
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: fan grow but growing up, and I got a text

488
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 3: from Joey Voda.

489
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, what do I say to

490
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: this guy?

491
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to mess up the response to the text,

492
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: so you know, that would be pretty cool.

493
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 4: I got a couple others, got a couple questions about Ranger.

494
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: One from Pat Writz, who designed the Philly show logo,

495
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: and so he says, what does Ranger need to show

496
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 3: the Phillies this season for them to offer him a contract?

497
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: What would that contract potentially need to look like for

498
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 3: him to stay in red pinstripes, And kind of following

499
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 3: off that, Michael Bradigan Unax said, I know he said

500
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: he wants to be here, but is there really any

501
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: chance that Ranger comes back? Feels like there's no room

502
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: in the rotation for him.

503
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: I kind of agree that it feels like there's no

504
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: room in the rotation. Although there is room in the rotation.

505
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 2: I wonder if there's room in the payroll, because if

506
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: he has a good year, he's going to be looking

507
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: for a big score out there. Look at the money

508
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: these guys are getting. I'm not saying he's getting Max

509
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: Freed money. But you know, high tide lifts all boats. Right,

510
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: He's going to be expensive if he has a good year.

511
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: So I actually feel like he's going to be somewhere

512
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: else in twenty twenty six.

513
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a possibility.

514
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 6: There's no question when you have a guy like Boris.

515
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 6: You know, I had to deal with Boris a little

516
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 6: bit when Jason Worth became a free agent. I mean,

517
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 6: he maximized his opportunities dollars and cents wise.

518
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: And that's what he's going to do. I think as

519
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: far as the Phillies are concerned.

520
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 6: They just want to have him be a productive player,

521
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 6: healthy player for one hundred and sixty two He's never

522
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 6: done it. He's never done it where for one hundred

523
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: and sixty two games he's been you know, healthy, and

524
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 6: so that's something that I think that's important to them. Again,

525
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 6: he may end up and if he does that, he's

526
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 6: going to be productive and he's going to probably price

527
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 6: himself out, but right who knows.

528
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: And when when you run a big league club, you

529
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: always have to have that that balance, the payroll balance,

530
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: and that kind of the shuttle that you know, when

531
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 2: to gets ready for free agency, he moves on and

532
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: somebody else comes off the conveyor belt and jumps into

533
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: the rotation, but jumps into the lineup and you could

534
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: almost see painter As is jumping in there. You've already

535
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: picked up Lozardo, who's under control for twenty twenty six.

536
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: My hope for Ranger, if I was the Phillies GM

537
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: would be kill it this year and go out make

538
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: a ton of money, and we shake your hand and

539
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 2: wish you well and say thank you very much. And

540
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 2: you know, for payroll reasons and payroll budget balance reasons,

541
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna start incorporating a younger guy in that role.

542
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: We're gonna incorporate Lozardo and try to you know, build

543
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: that way.

544
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 6: That's a sustainability issue, and I will talk to you

545
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 6: about you know, Paul Owens is a guy that talked

546
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 6: about this all the time. If I can bring one

547
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 6: and a half this is what he try to average.

548
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 6: One and a half young players rookies to you to

549
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 6: your big league club a year that were productive, then

550
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 6: you've done a really good job. And that does make

551
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 6: some sense. You can have somebody step forward once you

552
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 6: know one and a half or two players a year

553
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 6: to be able to help you sustain your viability.

554
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: For the long term.

555
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: And I think that's probably what David and Brownski is.

556
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: Going to have to do at some point.

557
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a great problem it will be if Ranger

558
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: has a monster year. Yeah, and the Phillies go deep

559
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, they won a World Series and fans

560
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 3: are outraged because they can't afford to keep Ranger Suarez

561
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 3: or you know, he signed somewhere for a bigger deal

562
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: because they can't afford him, or they have no room

563
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: for him.

564
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 4: The rotation be a nice little.

565
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: Well, you also got to consider you got the Catcher

566
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: and Kyle Schwarwarz, so somebody is not going to.

567
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: Be back, right, And I think we all agree I

568
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: would bet against Ranger coming back. If i'd rank the

569
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: least likely guy, he would be the least likely guy.

570
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 3: Blake Johnson twenty eight to ninety eight on Instagram. What's

571
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: one moment in Phillies' playoff history you would like back?

572
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 3: I know what comes to mind immediately for me. I

573
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: don't know if this is the moment to come back.

574
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: Maybe go back a few feet over the wall. It

575
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 3: would be Raoul Labania as a carpenter at the warning

576
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: track in game five of the twenty eleven n LDS

577
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 3: Thank you October seven on this show with you guys,

578
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 3: you know what that disrespect?

579
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: No, you know what's Ruben is funny.

580
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: When I read this question, I said, I literally said

581
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: to myself, multiverse, alternate universe. If that ball goes over,

582
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: I do believe the Phillies win the World Series that year.

583
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 4: And you were probably not on.

584
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: The show with us.

585
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: You're one hundred percent right.

586
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: That ball was a Lance Berkman, the right fielder. The

587
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: ball just dropped straight down in his glove at the wall.

588
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 3: I thought that ball was going out and.

589
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: Chase him right to the wall in center field center.

590
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: Yep.

591
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 4: That so that was the moment that jumped out to me.

592
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: To me, obviously you could say, and Ruben, you might

593
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 3: say this, but Black Friday, you know, was back in

594
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: the NLCS, back in the day. But for me, that

595
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: was the that's the playoff moment. I go, man, that

596
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: could have been a little bit different. Who knows what

597
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: the world would look like today.

598
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 2: That was the same day as Black Friday, October seventh,

599
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 2: twenty eleven, October seventh of seventy seven, right.

600
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: I think it was what do you got?

601
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: What do you got Oh, I'm I'm all about October seventh,

602
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: twenty eleven, Todd Dy.

603
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 5: Were tough day, I mean on a personal on a

604
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 5: personal level.

605
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Yet that was that that was a big day for me.

606
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: The other uh, the.

607
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 7: Other I guess it's a series or maybe was it

608
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 7: when the one kid was it fought pH pfaa t

609
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 7: Brandt when he ended up pitching that game that, I mean,

610
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 7: Phillies just could not make the adjustments on him.

611
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: I was shocked by that game.

612
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 6: I certainly wish that that things turned out differently because

613
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 6: I really felt like the Phillies were a much better

614
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 6: team than the Arizona Diamondbacks that year, but they couldn't

615
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 6: get it done.

616
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 5: That was really disappointing for me most recently.

617
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: And wasn't there a big home run by Well, you

618
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: get the Cody Ross home runs? Didn't?

619
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Cody Ross home runs. They crushed me too.

620
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 5: That that was when Doc had like a little bit

621
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 5: of a groin pole.

622
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: He really didn't have the same stuff. I don't know

623
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people knew that, but he was not

624
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: super healthy.

625
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 2: Was did Ube hit a big one then?

626
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 3: Or may hit the home run off of Ryan Madson,

627
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, and then.

628
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: Off the pole almost in right field. That crushed me too.

629
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: And then a different year, Alex Rodriguez Hits went off

630
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: the camera in right field at facts.

631
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: So you know you open it.

632
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 4: We're just killing Rubin right now. He's gonna be in

633
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 4: the fetal position.

634
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna log off and just like rock himself to

635
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: sleep after this, Mama.

636
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: And then there's the nineteen fifteen World Series when the

637
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: uh they played the Red Sox and the Phillies owner

638
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: tried to jam a whole bunch more people in the ballpark.

639
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: I think it was the Baker ball So he let

640
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: them stand in the outfield and they roped it off

641
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: so you could stand in the outfield, but it made

642
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: the field smaller. And Jim were you were?

643
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: You were you in the stands.

644
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: I was in the auxiliary press box, Harry Hooper.

645
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 4: That was the Wi Fi out there. Jim in the

646
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: art box.

647
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: I was all spread out. I had my newspapers, my gums,

648
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: my glasses, I had it all the time.

649
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: I was spread out.

650
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: But Harry Hooper, who played for the Boston Red Sox

651
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: and later went on to coach Princeton University, he drops

652
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: a couple over the uh over the rope into the seats,

653
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: and they were into the stands the standing fans, and

654
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: they were considered home runs. And the Phillies ended up

655
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: losing the nineteen fifteen World Series all because their owner

656
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: wanted to squeeze out a few more bucks. So that

657
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: was one that that's one that really kills me, Jim,

658
00:29:59,520 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: I remember you.

659
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,520

Speaker 3: on South Street recently, was very nice, told him I

786
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: was a fan of the podcast. He's a PGW worker. Ruben,

787
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: You remember this guy?

788
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Yes, I do, all right.

789
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 6: I was on South Street because I was trying to

790
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 6: find another trying to find a massage therapist, and I'm

791
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 6: trying to find out where it was.

792
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 5: It was happened to be in the evening and actually

793
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 5: finally found out.

794
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: But there was somebody who was.

795
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 6: Working for PGW right there working on the streets and uh,

796
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 6: he shouted out to me. He said, big fan of

797
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 6: the podcast, big fan of the Philly Show.

798
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: I said, right on, Bro, that's awesome. That's always good.

799
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good. Yeah, it's always good.

800
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: When you say you were very nice to me when

801
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 3: I met you, you know, yeah, that.

802
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: Is to be the opposite.

803
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 5: Typically it might not be that way.

804
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: Well, No, I same thing with me.

805
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 3: And I ran into somebody recently at a book signing

806
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,479
Speaker 3: and she's one of the travel agents through through my work,

807
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: and she's like, you don't know me, but I've talked

808
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: to you on the phone before, and you're so nice

809
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: on the phone, even when like the s has hit

810
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: the fan in terms of your travel arrangements.

811
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 4: I oh, thank god you said that.

812
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: You're always nice.

813
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 4: My parents have raised me. I tried to be not

814
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 4: always Jim.

815
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 5: I don't know, ye, Jim's also very nice.

816
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm the only one that's questionable.

817
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: No, No, you're good.

818
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 3: All right, here's a tough one. Here's a tough one.

819
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put him on the spot. What move did

820
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: Ruben make as GM that Jim was.

821
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 4: Most critical of?

822
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 3: How did that play out? It's from Phillies Fans seventy

823
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 3: five on Blue Sky. So this Phillies fan seventy five

824
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 3: on Blue Sky, trying to drive a wedge at.

825
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 4: The Philly Show, trying to starting to brew you won't.

826
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: I know there was some times when we got sideways

827
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: over stuff. I wrote like you wouldn't talk to me

828
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: for a few months, but I can't remember what they were.

829
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: There's plenty of moves to critique.

830
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: I know i'd leaned out you're pretty good when you

831
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: fired mil Thompson.

832
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was tough.

833
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: That's tough because I thought that should have been on

834
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: the players. But in retrospect, I understand sometimes you shake

835
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: things up. Absolutely, but I hit you pretty good on

836
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: that one. But there's probably a few others I have

837
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: a tough time remember, though, you just try to be fair.

838
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 2: I think you know.

839
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 3: Heard Jim say the Rollins era was the best in

840
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: team's history. Curious what you all think about the seventy

841
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 3: six to eighty three era, same World series wins and appearances,

842
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: most overall wins Tom G eighteen and Blue Sky.

843
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 5: It's debatable.

844
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's certainly debatable.

845
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 5: I mean, it was a great era. I just because

846
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 5: of the the fan interest and the fan participation and

847
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 5: the way they got behind the team. I just feel

848
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 5: like that seven to eleven.

849
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: Era was I mean, we had all those I mean

850
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 6: how many sellouts we had fifty something?

851
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: I mean that that era to me, I don't know, I.

852
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 6: Just feel like that was the you know, most dominant

853
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 6: they were at that at that time. They won the

854
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 6: World Series, went back to the World Series, had the

855
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 6: best record in baseball probably.

856
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: For those three or four years.

857
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 5: That's where I'm at.

858
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: And that was a shorter five year window where the

859
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: other was a longer window. But yeah, they were both great.

860
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, you know, Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays,

861
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: they're both.

862
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 4: Great, right, exactly right, exactly right?

863
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: Uh An a couple more here, Aunt Mazziati on Instagram.

864
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: Are there any cool stories Jim and Todd work on

865
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 3: that never panned out?

866
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 4: Can you talk about them?

867
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I would say there's a lot of stories

868
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 3: you try to write and you find out that there's

869
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: really nothing there.

870
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 4: It doesn't really work that well, so you kind.

871
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 3: Of kill it, right, I mean, you know, he's just

872
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: like something you might find interesting. Then you talk to

873
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: the people, it's like, who that one's dead? So you

874
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 3: kill it. Nothing really comes to mind for me, though, Jim,

875
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 3: does any anything pop out to you?

876
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, there's stories you you work on you never

877
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: get to the finish line. And there was a who

878
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 2: is the kid Robinson tay Hat? I remember Robinson? Oh yeah,

879
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 2: like kind of during it was there, it was a

880
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: lot of losing years when he sort of he was

881
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 2: that one kid in the minor leagues that excited people.

882
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: And he came up and he threw real hard, and

883
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: I remember working on this background piece on him, you know,

884
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 2: about his upbringing, his family and because he was one

885
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 2: of the first kind of big money guys. I think

886
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: he got out of Latin America and he made it

887
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: and when he came up he was like ninety six,

888
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 2: ninety six, ninety six, when that was like super hard,

889
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, yep. And then I think he got hurt

890
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 2: and he ended up in Kansas City and I had

891
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: this notebook full of good stuff that it never saw

892
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: the light of day. That's one that comes to mind.

893
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: There's also that this is this is that you remind

894
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: me of that great Bob Ford story. Our former colleague

895
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: at The Inquirer when he was covering the Sixers. There

896
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 2: was there. So they had an off day. They're on

897
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: the road and they had an off day practice and

898
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: Bob went to the practice and he already had written

899
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: his story and he was eager to get the heck

900
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: out of there. And one of the disgruntled players came

901
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: up to him and said, hey, Bob, you get a minute,

902
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 2: I want to pop off.

903
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: Bob's like, well, I.

904
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: Already got my story done for today. Could you pop

905
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: off tomorrow? I could even the story tomorrow, and uh,

906
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: all right, I'll pop off tomorrow. The next morning, the

907
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 2: guy got traded.

908
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 4: Oh my god, he lost it.

909
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 3: That's so funny. I love that stuff, a little behind

910
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 3: the scenes action. So yeah, that's about it. Actually going
