Brought 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 2: to you by Citizens for making a plan to reaching 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 2: your goals, make sense of your money with Citizens Official 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: Bank of the Phillies ruling you're supporting your Citizens swag today. 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: I love it. How are you guys doing? It's Monday, 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: April seventh, twenty twenty five. Phillies had a big weekend 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: at the Bank Citizens Bank Park. They take two out 9 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 2: of three from the Dodgers. It was kind of fun, guys, 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: because it was just fun because it was an early 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: April series against a really good team, the defending World 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: Series champions. But it was also kind of fun for 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 2: me anyway to kind of watch how the players and 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 2: Rob Thompson handle all the questions about playing the Dodgers. 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: You know, is this a measuring stick? Is this going 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: to mean something come October? And they came off as 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: a team that was like, it's gonna be fun. We're competitors, 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: We're going to compete. We kind of talked about this 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: last week, but they kind of said it today too. 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 2: Like Rob was asked, you know, I knew this team 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: was good already, you know, Nick Castianos. I asked him, 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: I said, did you learn anything about this team or 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: did it confirm what you already knew about this team? 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: And he kind of said it confirmed what we already knew, 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,639 Speaker 2: which is we're a good team. But good, good weekend 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: for him. Obviously, two out of three. 27 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 3: No doubt, you will take it. Winning a series is 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 3: always better than the alternative. And what did Thompson say 29 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: before the game that there's twenty six series and if 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: you win. 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: This is it twenty That was like fifty two, right, 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: and he said, if you win like twenty six or thirty, 33 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: that's what it is. Yes, okay, yeah, there's fifty two 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: series every year. But if you win twenty six or 35 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: thirty year in the playoffs. 36 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 4: There you go. So and that's what it's about these days. 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: I'm sorry. 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: It's about getting in, you know, now that they've expanded 39 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: to twelve team six in each league. It's about getting 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: in and getting hot and doing damage. But yeah, I 41 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: mean it's not even you know, it's not even tax 42 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: day yet. The leaves are not even out on the trees, 43 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: and you know, so that's how early this series is. 44 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: So to me, it doesn't define anything but it's, like 45 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: I said, it's better than the alternative. 46 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 4: I think back to last May when. 47 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 3: The Phillies first played the Mets in a four game 48 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: home and home if you remember that, and the Phillies 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: took three or four and against the Mets, and then 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: they got their lunch handed to them in October. So 51 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: I don't know that has any bearing in October, but 52 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 3: you know, you'll certainly take it a little bit of 53 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: a conference builder. 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 4: Three sell out crowds. 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: The crowds were electric, Several of the performances were electric, 56 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: and you know, I think it was a good thing. 57 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 3: But I kind of agree with Robi confirmed. They're a 58 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: good ball club. We think they're a good ball club. 59 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: They got good personnel, and they did a lot of 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 3: things really well over this weekend to send the Dodgers 61 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: gaming their first loss. They came in what eight no, 62 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: gave them their first loss. So their first two losses. 63 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: So now they go to Atlanta on Tuesday night. I 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: can't believe Atlanta's what what are they? One and seven? 65 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 4: One and eight? 66 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got I know what they did last night 67 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: Sunday night. I mean I can check that up. While well, 68 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: you know, we're talking about it. Were struggling. 69 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's certainly struggling. And they did not play 70 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 5: on Sunday because they got rained out. But I will 71 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 5: say that, yeah, I think the the best thing about 72 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 5: this series for me is one this team. I think 73 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 5: they already knew this. They know that they can play 74 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 5: with anybody. But I think for the fan base that 75 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 5: felt like the Phillies didn't do very much this offseason, 76 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 5: the Dodgers did all these moves. They're the greatest team 77 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 5: on the planet, you know, blah blah blah. You know, 78 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 5: you have to the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Yes, 79 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 5: the Dodgers are really really good team, but the Phillies 80 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 5: are a really good team too. And the Phillies aren't 81 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 5: even swinging the bats all that well. And they won 82 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 5: two out of three. Think about that for a minute. 83 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 5: They didn't have it very many extra base hits this 84 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: this series. They only had one home run. It was 85 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 5: the big Castiano's home run. I mean it was a 86 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 5: big one, but they only had one home run in 87 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 5: the series. And honestly, and I know they didn't have 88 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 5: Freddy Freeman and that's a big one. But you know, 89 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 5: some of their big boys schober Turner, even you know 90 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 5: Harper to some extent Bohm. They didn't really do a 91 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 5: whole lot of damage, and they won two out of 92 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 5: three games against what is supposed to be the best 93 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 5: team in baseball. So that tells you a little bit 94 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 5: about one their talent and tow their grit, because they're 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 5: a gritty team and they continue to that. You've seen 96 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 5: that since twenty twenty two. They are gritty. They find 97 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 5: ways to put themselves in a position to win, and 98 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 5: they don't give up. And they had a chance to 99 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 5: roll over after they lost the lead on Sunday, and 100 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 5: they didn't roll over, and they came back and they 101 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 5: won the baseball game. And they put together some good 102 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 5: at bats back. 103 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 3: From two deficits. They came back from two deficits on site. 104 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: They really battled. 105 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 5: And the other thing that they did is they put 106 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 5: together some really good at bats. They not perfect, because 107 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: it's not a perfect game. You can never be perfect 108 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 5: in this game. But they put together some greater bats. 109 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 5: I mean, they picked up what eleven. 110 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: Walks and a whole slew eighteen walks I think on 111 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: the series eighteen from a team that's supposed to have 112 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: the best you know, starting pitching and bullpen and all 113 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: of baseball. 114 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 5: So you know, you're starting to see some of the 115 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 5: fruits of the labor of them really trying to make 116 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 5: some adjustments to put together decent a bats. They did 117 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 5: not do a great job with men on third less 118 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 5: than two outs. A couple of those old bats almost 119 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 5: came back to Hauntum that said, they actually did put 120 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 5: together some really good at bats, And I think the 121 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 5: work that they, you know, things that they've been thinking about, 122 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 5: swing decisions, passing the baton, all that stuff. You're seeing 123 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 5: that come to light, and it helped him win a 124 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 5: couple of games in this series. 125 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 4: I thought. 126 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: I thought it was that third inning on Sunday. It 127 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: was a lot of fun where the rains coming down 128 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: and glass. Now you could see he was like just 129 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: miserable out there, and I thought Nick Castiallas gave an 130 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: interesting quote. He said, Yeah, we noticed that we could 131 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: see he was getting flustered, maybe just two or three 132 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: pitches into the innings, so we just kind of let 133 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 2: him beat himself up. And clearly he was having troubles 134 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: throwing strikes. But they also kind of recognize that and 135 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: didn't like doing anything stupid. So marsha was that. Marshawn walked, 136 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: then Schwarber walked, then Turner walked, and that got that 137 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: in and going. I can't remember what happened. Harper singled 138 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: to score run, there was a wild pitch, Kapler walked, 139 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: you know, they finally get him out of the game, 140 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 2: and then cast Downs goes Grand Slam. So it's kind of, 141 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: you know, just shows they have had a decent approach 142 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: that again. I know he was not you could see 143 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: he was visibly struggling, but they recognized it early again 144 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: and Nick cast Downs with a huge hit there. 145 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: For the old timers, it was a little reminiscent of 146 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: Burt Houghton though, seriously, it was a. 147 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 4: Melt in that game. 148 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 5: Jim, you weren't that game as a kid? Yes, and 149 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 5: I along with him. 150 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: It was a meltdown. Only thing is the rain drops 151 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: kind of did it to him? Where back in what 152 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: year was at seventy seven? It was the fans who 153 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: who got on Burt Hooton. It wasn't I don't know 154 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 3: if it was seventy seven or seventy eight, one. 155 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 4: Of those two years. 156 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 5: I think I was twelve or thirteen years old. 157 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't born yet, so I but uh, whatever 158 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: it was, you know, Burt hooton the fans, you know, 159 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 3: sent Burt Houghton into. 160 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: A seventy seven game three of seventy seven. 161 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: Okay, so then it was the fans, and today it 162 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: was the rain. He just totally unraveled. 163 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: It was weird. It was almost weird. In fact, I 164 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: went on baseball references see like, you know, you think, like, oh, 165 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: he's spent half of his career at the trop and 166 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: he's pitching in La Is he not pitched in the 167 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: rain that much? And you know the rain and the 168 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: cold that much. It's hard. 169 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 5: It's hard to figure he's in southern California. 170 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: So yeah, it looked. 171 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 5: Like he was a little soft in that god little softness. Yeah. 172 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 4: Oh but he's good looking. He's good looking. 173 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: He's a handsome man. 174 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's very rich. He looks like he looks 175 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 5: like they had a ridiculous arm. 176 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 4: But it looks like the guy from Peaky Blinders. 177 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: Killian Murphy, right, is how you pronounced his name? 178 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: Yeah he does. 179 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like mister Solomon's got him in the 180 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: third inning. 181 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: Speaking a good looking chap. I gotta mention this. I 182 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: gotta I gotta show you guys this. So I got 183 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: right here, I got another Ruben Tomorrow cards. 184 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 4: Look at that man. 185 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: This is nineteen ninety two tops, so just the same. 186 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: I don't know if he wanted me to say his name, 187 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: so I won't mention his name. But a fan of 188 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 2: the pod Mick fan of the pod uh saw me 189 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: this weekend at the ballparkin says he got to have this. 190 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: So now I've gotten two. I've gotten two Ruben Tomorrow 191 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: cards in the past couple of weeks. Wouldn't it be 192 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: something if I started getting like tons of Ruben Tomorrow cards. 193 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: I have a whole wall over here. You guys can't 194 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 2: see that's basically blank. It could become the Ruben wall. 195 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: People could come down. I could have like some Booker wall. 196 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: I could have candles lit in here and be like, 197 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: what's going on here? This is my Ruben wall. 198 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: Wow, that's funny. 199 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: So it's really cool. Yeah, thank you for that. 200 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 6: It was. 201 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: It was pretty neat. So I wanted to mention that 202 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: as we're talking about Tyler Glass now, but I also 203 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 2: want to mention any concern with Jordan Romano. Rob Thompson 204 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 2: says there's some concern there. Seventh inning tonight he comes in, 205 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: it's not throwing. He has no fastball. Velosty one batter in. Also, 206 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 2: a Ryan Kirkering is getting up. They were saving a 207 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: Ryan Kirkering for the eighth or ninth inning. His four 208 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: seen fastball in his first three games. Jordan Romando ninety 209 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: five point six miles an hour. It's ninety three point 210 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: six in his last two appearances. On Friday, when he 211 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: got hit around a little bit, he threw one ninety 212 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 2: one point three, but at the end he got back 213 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: up the ninety five seven. Today it only touched ninety 214 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: four point one. Now, Jim and I, Jim, you talked 215 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: to him after the game. He says he's perplexed. He's perplexed. 216 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: He's befuddled. How concerned should we be about Jordan Romano 217 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: because that was obviously a big piece of this bullpen. 218 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 4: Should be concerned? The skipper says he's concerned. 219 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 3: He said, there's no red flags coming out of the 220 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 3: trainer's room, but something's going on. Romando says he had 221 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 3: enough work in spring training. He certainly had work here 222 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: in the early early season, but the Villo has not 223 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: come and you know they're gonna look at some tape. 224 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 3: Maybe it's mechanical, maybe it's dead arm. But the fact 225 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 3: that you know he pitched, you know, a very limited 226 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 3: amount last year because the elbow injury and his signing 227 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: to me looked like a really sound, solid roll. 228 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 4: Of the dice. 229 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: And I still think it is. I don't judge anything 230 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: on a few appearances. Like I said, we're not the leaves, 231 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: aren't You aren't even on the trees yet. It's that early. 232 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 3: We're not even at tax day yet, it's that early. 233 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: But you know, you want to see him firing, and 234 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 3: he's not firing, and the manager's concerned, and you know, 235 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 3: speaking with Romano, he's perplexed. So yeah, it's something to 236 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: keep an eye on because you need this guy. You know, 237 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 3: you're you're basically down two leverage arms with Hoffman and 238 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 3: Estevez exiting, and you know they were banking on improvements 239 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 3: of others and the addition of Romano, and if that 240 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: piece of the equation is not there, it's gonna impact things. 241 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 3: I mean impacted things. On On Sunday, he did not 242 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: have a good inning. He was charged with you get 243 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: up three runs Phase three batters, they all score and 244 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: it took a really nice rally in the bottom of 245 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: the seventh to take back the lead. I think that's 246 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 3: what we were talking about earlier. This team really battles 247 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: and they got Jordan Romano off the hook, but they 248 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: need more from him. They need to figure it out. 249 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: He was He's a really stand up guy. He you know, 250 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 3: he admitted it wasn't there for him and he's scratching 251 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: his head and he's going to try to find it 252 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 3: so off day on Monday, and I suspect, you know, 253 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: they're looking at that already. 254 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 5: I gotta I get a little concerned. When Rob Thompson, 255 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 5: he's usually not so direct when he says I am concerned. Yeah, right, 256 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 5: And when he says that, then there's some concern. I mean, 257 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 5: it's obvious that he doesn't have the sharpness and his 258 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 5: slider doesn't have the velocity and arm speed on his fastball. 259 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 5: I'm not sure if it's mechanical, emotional, or medical, but 260 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 5: there is some combination of those things that are not 261 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 5: allowing him to perform the way he has performed in 262 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 5: the past. And we've seen him really good in the past. Now, yeah, 263 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 5: I think you're right, Jim, real stand up guy. I'm 264 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 5: sure you know he knows he's not throwing well. Yeah, 265 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 5: and he's admitted that, and I'm sure he's I mean, 266 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 5: he's a competitive personal. This man wants to have success 267 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 5: and he's wishing that he could be contributing in a 268 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 5: more positive way to this ball club. He knows how 269 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 5: important it is, but it is. It's a concern. And 270 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 5: imagine if they didn't have Alvarado stepping forward the way 271 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 5: he stepped in this early part of the season, it 272 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 5: could be a little troublesome for this bullpen. That said, 273 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 5: I say that a lot. I think that they I 274 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 5: think that you know, they they've handled it really well, 275 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 5: even with you know, amount of really struggling in some 276 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 5: leverage innings and they've sort of worked past some of that. 277 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 5: Hopefully they can straighten it out and put it behind him. 278 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 5: But I'm sure they're going to be taking a peak. 279 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 5: The one thing concerned that I do have about it 280 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 5: is that most closers, most they ride on adrenaline, and 281 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 5: the adrenaline in the ninth is different from the adrenaline 282 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 5: in the seventh and eighth. Now, I don't know if 283 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 5: he's not feeling the adrenaline if he's not feeling comfortable pitching, 284 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 5: you know, earlier in the game. But at some point 285 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 5: he's gonna have to start feeling a little bit more 286 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 5: comfortable because unless he's going lights out and really dealing, 287 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 5: he's gonna have to be able to figure out how 288 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 5: to get that adrenaline rush, how to make that happen 289 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 5: and had the ball come out a little bit better, 290 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 5: because if he doesn't, then he's not going to be 291 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 5: pitching a whole lot of leverage innings. 292 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: And you can't put him in the knife right now, no, sure, So. 293 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 5: If he has, he hasn't earned that yet at least 294 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 5: at this point. 295 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: And yeah, performances, it wouldn't be a good situation to 296 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: put him in the ninth with the stuff he's thrown 297 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: up there. 298 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 4: But it won't be fair to the team, would be. 299 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you know, he's not going to get 300 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: ninth inning adrenaline because you just can't right now, you 301 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: can't put him there, So he'd be better figure out 302 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: a way to get it, to get the adrenaline if 303 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: that's what's holding him back in another inning, But I'm 304 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: not sure that's what's holding him back. 305 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 4: Today. That was a close game. Today, the place was packed. 306 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: I would even though it was the seventh inning, I 307 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: would think there was adrenaline. 308 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 5: No, I agree. 309 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's very weird, very weird in dating. And 310 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: you're right, Rubin. We talked last week about when Rob 311 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: says something he had jumped out this last week. Remember 312 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: when he said that was the greatest major League game 313 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: Johann Rojas ever play. That was a message I think 314 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: he wanted to send to Joanna Rous Jimmy, you said it. 315 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: And today when he says I am concerned about his velocity, 316 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: how many times have we seen the guy struggle one 317 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: at bat or two or three at bats and fans 318 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: will say, like, why isn't Rob getting somebody up in 319 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: the bullpen? You could see he he lost it, And 320 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: Rob will say, listen, I gotta give this guy. You know, 321 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: his stuff was fine whatever, but one at bat, Ryan 322 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: Kirkan was going in the bullpen. He got somebody up. 323 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 2: That says a lot as well. So, h gentlemen, it's 324 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: the first show of the week and that means it 325 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: is Manco and Manco, best Week, Manco and Manco the 326 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: best of the best. Manco make apiece of the best 327 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: of the best. This is where we pick our best 328 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: Phillies player, moment, performance, whatever we want from the past week. 329 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: There's a lot to pick from. Cuts, there's a lot 330 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: to pick from. 331 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 4: You know. 332 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: They they swept the Rockies last week. If we forget 333 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: it seems like a long time ago, because I guess 334 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 2: maybe it was the Rockies. And then they take two 335 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: out of three against the Dodgers. So so he wants 336 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 2: to go for it. I said, we go with rub Rubin, 337 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: why don't we start with you. Who's your guys talked 338 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 2: about earlier? 339 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 5: I think Alvarado has been a savior for them, and 340 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 5: I think he's been outstanding. He had a little bit 341 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 5: of a glitch inning on Friday, but he bounced back 342 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 5: and just dealt on Sunday really in a really tight 343 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 5: situation against the big boys. He went on Tawi, Mookie 344 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 5: Betts and Edmund and both all three of those guys 345 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 5: are pretty damn good, and he did his job pretty 346 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 5: pretty impressive. 347 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 4: They all saw triple digits. 348 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they got the trifecta. So I mean, that's 349 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 5: that's big for him. He came back, can pitch really 350 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 5: well in that situation and Jim, I think you made 351 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 5: a prediction about him getting thirty or forty saves this year? 352 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: Was that you that was goold prediction. I said he's bad. 353 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: The first Philly to have though. That's all right, since 354 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 2: since Jen Mar Gomez would is still mind blowing to 355 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 2: me that Jen Mar Gomez saved thirty seven games. 356 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 5: That's because I'm a brilliant GM and I signed you know, 357 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 5: brilliant players. 358 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: Did you sign him signed? 359 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: Yes, we looked it up. Yeah, I think we looked 360 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: that up. And you did sign Jen Mar Gomez. Yeah, 361 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: I think twenty sixteen Phillies that he was in there 362 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: before that. 363 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: But Alvarado today today is Sundaynday. He I mean, you're right, 364 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 3: he just was. He was revved up to face o'tani. 365 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: He was blowing cheese. 366 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know what, he was repped up, but 367 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 5: he wasn't super emotional. I think he's handling better. 368 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 7: I don't think he gets as high or as low, 369 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 7: and I think that that will serve him quite well 370 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 7: in that role. 371 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, so good, so good, Jim. What do you got? 372 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 4: Well? 373 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: My best at the best, Well, I love it. 374 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 3: Dive into this pizza pie from Mancos and Manco's had 375 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: one the other day. 376 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 4: Todd Oh yeah you did too. Yeah killed. 377 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 5: He did the live show. 378 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 2: We did our live show with John Milton. If you 379 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: haven't checked that one, I'll go back and watch that 380 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 2: that posted on Thursday Friday stuff. And afterwards they had 381 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: about ten bockses at pizza and you can bet I 382 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 2: bought two of them back up at the press box. 383 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 4: I killed it. 384 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 3: It was awesome, as you know, I told you today 385 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 3: how good it was. But my best of the best 386 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 3: Manco's best, the best of the week. I'm going with 387 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 3: at Mundo Sosa ed world and you know, played in 388 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: six games now, he's like eleven for twenty And I 389 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 3: thought on Sunday, I just love when when little things, 390 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 3: I mean big things. And you got Blake trying it 391 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 3: on the mount and he just a two to two pitch. 392 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 3: He sends him right to the ground with ninety five 393 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: point five miles an hour, right under the chin. Sosa 394 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 3: goes down and he pops right up and he digs 395 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: back into the battles box with a three to two pitch, 396 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 3: runners on the corners, one out and he you know, 397 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 3: he puts the ball in play, you know, down to 398 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 3: third base and you're thinking, oh boy, might be a 399 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: double play, inning ending double play. The game is already tied. 400 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: Sosa absolutely runs like the cops are chasing him, and 401 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 3: he beats out that potential double play ball to get 402 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 3: the go ahead run home. And I thought it was 403 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: a real nice little kapper for a heck of a 404 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 3: start he's had, Like I said, eleven for twenty, beats 405 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: out that ground ball, gets that run home, and it 406 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: was it was just a. 407 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 4: Huge play in that ball game. 408 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 3: And he's had a great week he's had. You know, 409 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 3: I think he's had five multi hit games, and yeah, 410 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 3: he's hid in five point fifty eleven for twenty and 411 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 3: you know, afterward, Rob said admitted Rob Thompson admits got 412 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 3: to find a way to get him in the lineup 413 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 3: so he can play enough positions. He can play three 414 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 3: in field positions. I bet he could play four and 415 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 3: he can play some outfield. They're going to have to 416 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 3: start finding a way to get him in there, and 417 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 3: I think they are. On Sunday, Alec Boum sat, I 418 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 3: doubt he would sit again on Tuesday. I mean, he 419 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: said number one, third basement. They got to get him going. 420 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: He's got to play, but Sosa has positional flexibility, and 421 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 3: it looks like Rob is gonna start utilizing it a 422 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: little bit more to get him in there. He's a 423 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 3: hot bat. 424 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 5: If he lost this out there Chris Sale pitching on Tuesday, 425 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 5: big matchup. I think he's gonna play left field. I 426 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 5: think Johann Ros playing center. 427 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: I would love to see that. I think that would 428 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: be a fun lineup. Why not give it a shot? 429 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, because I think, well, I mean they Max Kepler 430 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 5: was swinging about a little bit better earlier. Uh struggled 431 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 5: a little bit in the series against Atlanta. Did have 432 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 5: a couple of pretty big walks. That's excuse me, not 433 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 5: all against Atlanta. A Lance the Dodgers, and I would 434 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 5: not be surprised that is not playing left field. 435 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: That's a good call. 436 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 3: Keep maybe keep Kepler away from Sale, not because you 437 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 3: don't think just to protect him. You don't need to 438 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 3: face a guy like that and have have go into 439 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 3: a slump or something, have him mess you up, Jimmu 440 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: and it gets Sosa in there. He's been so so hot. 441 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 3: Try to win ball games. 442 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 2: You talked to Nick cas We all talked to Nick 443 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 2: cast after the game, and you asked him about the 444 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: Sosa getting dropped down on that pitch, and he gave 445 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 2: a great quote. Uh, and I used it in my 446 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: story because it was so good. He said, stud you 447 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: see how eager he was to get back in the 448 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 2: box after that. Can't teach that. So that's why they 449 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: love They love that guy, they do. I cannot express 450 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 2: how much the players in that clubhouse for so many reasons, Yes, 451 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 2: for so. 452 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 5: Many reasons, not not just because. 453 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 8: He's playing well, but because he prepares, he works hard, 454 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 8: he cares about his teammates. He's unselfish, he's humble, he's humble, 455 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 8: and he's a good dude. 456 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 4: Yes, and he makes things happen. 457 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 5: He respectful young man, say young. Everybody's young to me now. 458 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 5: But I love and I love the way and he 459 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 5: respects the game. 460 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 4: He makes things happen. 461 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 2: He was flying down that line too, Jimmy right. I mean, 462 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: not very few players on this team could have beat 463 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 2: out that throw, but he was. He was one of 464 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: the guys that could beat out that throw. So his 465 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: speed also is a tremendous value. My best week manco manco, 466 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: I'm going with something that happened late on Friday night, JT. 467 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: Realmuto throws out show Tani to end the eighth inning 468 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 2: and does a strike him out, throw him out double 469 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 2: play caught stealing to end the game. Throws out Chris 470 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 2: Taylor trying to steal second base, and he did it 471 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: with a gash on his thumb. It wasn't really a gash, 472 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: I should say, it was more like a paper cut. 473 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 2: But he was bleeding after opening up a water bottle, 474 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: cutting himself on a water bottle in the eighth inning, 475 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: and I guess Jordan Romnal kept getting the ball back 476 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: and he kept looking at his hand because he's like, 477 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: am I bleeding somewhere? Because the ball hall had all 478 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: this blood on it, and they realized it was actually 479 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 2: JT's hand. But we talk a lot about JT being 480 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: a free agent after the season and all of this stuff, 481 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: and those are two huge moments in a game where 482 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: you have one of the best defensive catchers in baseball, 483 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: with one of the best pop times in baseball, one 484 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 2: of the best arms in baseball. He throws out Shoheyo Tani, 485 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: who was thirty eight for thirty eight in the regular 486 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 2: season going back to last year, and then he gets 487 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: Chris Taylor again to end the game on a on 488 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: a bang bang play that you know, instant replay had 489 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: to overturn the call at second but jt Reel moved. 490 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: That was the first time the Phillies had ended a 491 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: game on a cost dealing since August tenth, twenty twelve, 492 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 2: when papal Bond threw to j Rowl at second base 493 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: to get Carlos beltran. First time I catch her throughout 494 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: a base runner to end a game since Chouch throughout 495 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 2: Dave Murphy on May twentieth, twenty eleven, So it's been 496 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: a while since the game ended like that. But jt 497 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 2: Reel Moudo did it. Yeah, very very impressive, very awesome. 498 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, Tana should have been running in 499 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 5: front of Lookie Betts in that situation, and I'm glad 500 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 5: he did. And he also had to give a little 501 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 5: bit of credit where credit is due, obviously, great throw 502 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 5: by by JT. I was a point four to seven 503 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 5: release time, eighty six miles an hour while and and 504 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 5: he has been the best at pop time, has been 505 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 5: uh number one or number two for the last several 506 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 5: years and again this year. Excellent. But you got to 507 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 5: give some some love to Romano because he's super long 508 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 5: to the plate. But he sped up and he's been 509 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 5: working on this too, a little bit, like like Aaron 510 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 5: Nola last year who starts sped up his delivery because 511 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 5: the steal is back in and you have to combat 512 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 5: it somehow. He sped up his delivery. He was down 513 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 5: to like a one bet, like a one four seven 514 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 5: or one five. He's normally like a one seven or 515 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 5: one nine, and he's easy to run on. But he 516 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 5: sped up his delivery a little bit. Give him a 517 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 5: chance to throw him out. 518 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, Raman said he was bumped after the game about that. 519 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: He's like, I was just happy that I actually did 520 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: my like slidestep and and gave him a puncher's chance 521 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: to throw him out. So all right, that's best week. 522 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 2: And let's let's close on uh, well, we'll close on this. 523 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 2: We got to talk we gotta talk money moves as well. 524 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: Let's talk money moves.

So 529 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 2: here's what I was thinking, guys, we think about like 530 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: money moves, just moves. From the weekend, I'm thinking, you 531 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 2: got to give some love to the Phillies pitching staff 532 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: against show Heotani all week long. Everybody's asking about Otani 533 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: and understand me. So he's the greatest player in the game. 534 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 2: Philly's pitching held Otani one for eleven, two walks, five 535 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: strikeouts this series, going back to the beginning of the 536 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four seasons to the last three series against 537 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: the Dodgers, Otani is batting one eighty two six for 538 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 2: thirty three, one double, one home run, three RBIs, three 539 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: walks and nine strikeouts. So how about them Phillies. Philly 540 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 2: is doing a good job again. 541 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 4: Money moves. 542 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: That's that's a money move right there. If you can, 543 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 2: if you can keep show Heyo Tani from not destroying 544 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: you from series a series, that's pretty good. I want 545 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: to show you this. I don't know if you guys 546 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 2: can see this graphic. I pulled this off a Baseball Savan. 547 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: This is a stack Gass website. This is going into 548 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 2: today from the these so like the first two seasons 549 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 2: plus the first two games of this series. This is 550 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 2: how they've attacked him. If you can see this, this 551 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: is just like a pitch count on the bottom, a 552 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 2: lot of loan away, a lot of low and in. 553 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: I went back and looked at the strikeouts today Chris 554 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: Sanchez first inning, it was a change up down, and 555 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: in the second strike out was a change up in. 556 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: And then the third strikeout that Sanchez got him on 557 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: was a fastball in. So they've they've clearly got a 558 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: plan there. Don't elevate the ball against shoey Otani. 559 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 4: What's interesting about shoey Otani. 560 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 7: He's the left hander who's got a really high arm set, handset. Yeah, 561 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 7: and typically left handers who have that kind of set 562 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 7: will handle the low ball extremely well, and you just 563 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 7: drop that on it and he can. 564 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 5: But he handles the high ball really, really well. And 565 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 5: the Phillies did a good job of staying out of 566 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 5: that zone and attacking them a different way. Pretty good stuff. 567 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: It was a real difference in the series in uh 568 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: a big reason they were able to take two or 569 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 3: three When you can hold the best player on the 570 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 3: planet to one for eleven, so great job, great citizens, 571 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: money move right there. 572 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: Todd Yeah, it's fun to watch him come in and 573 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: it you know, the energy of just having him in 574 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: the ballpark. But yeah, Rob Rob. After the game, somebody 575 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: asked him about their his their plan of attack. He's like, well, 576 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you how we're attacking the guy. 577 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: I'm not an idiot, you know. 578 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: But with analytics and all these metrics and measurements and 579 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 3: data and technology, you can tell how they're attacking them 580 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 3: if you can translate it. 581 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you have to, but you have to execute. 582 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 5: And if you don't execute, get you. He's that good. 583 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 5: And and it's really about execution. You can have the 584 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 5: greatest plan in the world. You don't execute that plan, 585 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 5: you're still you're going to be in trouble. 586 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's like a it's like a good bunk play 587 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 3: or it's like you know what it's like. It's like 588 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 3: when uh Vince Lombardi used to run that power sweep. 589 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 6: You gotta seal here and a seal here, and you 590 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 6: boom and you run it up the power Sweep. Everybody 591 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 6: knew it was coming, but the Green Bay Packers executed 592 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 6: it so well that it always worked. 593 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 4: So execution. Execution is the key. 594 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 2: That's right, the touch push. That's the tip push. John 595 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: John Milton says, keep the touch push right. 596 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 4: Do you like my packers reference? 597 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 9: I love that package now if I can, I correct 598 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 9: you on it though, because I believe it's no, it's 599 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 9: the power sweep. But he says, there's you run a 600 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 9: seal here and a seal here, and then you run 601 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 9: the play in the alley. 602 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 2: He says, in the alley, he takes the chalk and 603 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: he runs it up the chalkboard. 604 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 4: But don't you agree everybody knew what was coming and 605 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 4: they could. 606 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 2: Everybody knew it was coming.
