It was a 40 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: great night. It was one of my you know, added 41 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: to the list of memorable nights at Citizens Bank Park, 42 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: right up there with Roy Hallidays no hitter in the 43 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: playoffs against Cincinnati, right up there with you know, Jimmy 44 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: rollins against Broxton and nine and some of the clinchers 45 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: and Ptolemy's four hundredth. Just it was kind of like, 46 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: you know, pinch yourself night. And there was so much 47 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: to it on a personal level for Schwarber, on a 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: team level for the Phillies, but I mean just focusing 49 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: on schwarbro you know, they have this demoralizing series in 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: New York and he's zero for eleven, and we were 51 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: talking about it the other day. So much of this 52 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five Phillies, so much of the Phillies in 53 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: recent years has been how Kyle Schwarber goes they go 54 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: and he bounces back from a difficult series for the 55 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: team and himself over eleven oh for twenty overall and 56 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: hits that big home run in the first inning after 57 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: they were down three to nothing, get him on the board, 58 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: get to Xhale a little bit, and they have a 59 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: five run inning, and then they just keep coming, like 60 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: sixteen over sixteen hundred feet worth of home runs and 61 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: just a special night, and talking to him afterwards was 62 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: typically a treat. It's always a treat. He's so humble. 63 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: He spreads the credit so well. Just a couple numbers, 64 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: Todd and Rubin this season, they are thirty three and 65 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: ten when he hits a home run, and they are 66 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: one and oh when he hits four home runs. They 67 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 2: are in his tenure here the four seasons here, one, 68 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: ten and forty five when he hits a home run. 69 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: So he's like the pied piper, you know, he starts 70 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: hitting home runs. The wins follow and that was. 71 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: A huge, huge win. 72 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: Calmed everybody down. Rob Thompson after the game even mentioned 73 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 2: that he had heard the radio folks saying, boo this team. 74 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: He had mentioned that in the posts. Yeah, it was 75 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: kind of remarkable. So they get that win, the Mets lose, 76 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 2: they're back up by five. Everybody chill. It's baseball, and 77 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: it is a crazy game. You can go from zero 78 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: for twenty to four bombs in one night. 79 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: Hey, Jim, I was wondering how much noise was there? 80 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 4: Was it bigger then Harper's home run off of Suarez? 81 00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: Who is it Suarez? 82 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? Was bedlam at the bank and that was another. 83 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: Unbelievably memory that moment. 84 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: No, I don't think it was that was one of 85 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: those moments when the building was shaking. It was this 86 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: was just a sense of appreciation with every home run. 87 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: I mean, people love shoar bombs, and they got to 88 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: see four of them. There was a lot of electricity 89 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 2: when he came up to the plate later in the 90 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: gaming and got his fourth bomb, and and you know, 91 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: there was a really great reaction to that, and then 92 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: the anticipation in the bottom of the eighth when he 93 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: came up had a chance to hit number five, and 94 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: he said, you know, as the d h he's in 95 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: and out of the batting cage all night, and he said, 96 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: to somebody, anybody ever hit five home runs in a game? 97 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: And there was this deafening silence, he said, and he 98 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 2: knew right that nobody had ever done it. And the 99 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: Marlin's got a position player on the mound, and so 100 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 2: the game had become a mockery by then, but the 101 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: Phillies bats turned it into a mockery. But you know, 102 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: he gets a fifth twenty seven mile an hour slider 103 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: and just get just misses it. It's hard to make 104 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: that transition when you hit ninety plus all night. But 105 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: he didn't get the fifth, but man, he got the 106 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: four and it was, like I said, one of the 107 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: more memorable nights I've had in that ballpark. 108 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's just a lot of things on unpacked, 109 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 4: but the importance of them just in general blowing up offensively. 110 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 4: That was big for them to come through after really 111 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: struggling against the Mets, and the Mets obviously have their number, 112 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: especially a city, but it's nice for them to bounce back. 113 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 4: That shows a lot of their resilience. And you know, 114 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: he's part of the catalyst of being able to make 115 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 4: that happen. So it must have been a pretty special thing. 116 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 4: And from Afar from over here in Cleveland, it sent 117 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: sent some shock waves around around Cleveland as well. 118 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: It came west. 119 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: What were they saying at the because Rubens at the Indians, 120 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: the Cleveland Guardians Indians franchise twenty fifth anniverse of their 121 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: nineteen What Night.

It's 129 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 4: really great to see them. But I'm gonna get their 130 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 4: feedback here, give you something on Monday when when I 131 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: get some more info. 132 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 1: I have a feeling Jim's gonna say that was AWESO, Yeah, 133 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: that was aw He's awesome.

It's so funny, Jim. 137 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: I was. 138 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: I said to myself, wonder what Kyle. I wonder how 139 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: Kyle's going to be in the post game in the clubhouse, 140 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: And it was exactly what I thought. It was almost like, God, 141 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: I didn't want to talk about this. I'm almost kind 142 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: of embarrassed. I hit four home runs and I almost 143 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: kind of He kind of gives off that vibe like 144 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: I really, you know, it was cool, you know, yeah, 145 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: obviously it was cool, but uh, and then he acknowledged 146 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: that he did ask in the cage they May, which 147 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: I thought was like the moment of like candidness or candor. 148 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: He was human. 149 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was human before. Otherwise he's kind of like, oh, 150 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, Nolah was great and we needed this win, 151 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: and his fans were great. Fans were great. It was 152 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: you know this and that it was. It was a 153 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: very Schwarber like post game where he acknowledged that he 154 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: did it. He didn't seem to be really want to 155 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: talk about it too much, because I think with Schwarber 156 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: he respects the game so much. He almost does. You know, 157 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: he's not going to sit there and go like, I'll 158 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: tell you what. When I went up for that fourth 159 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: that bad I said, I'm gonna freaking hit a bomb. 160 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: I felt so I was feeling so good. 161 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: You know, he that's not his style because he knows 162 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: he just came out of an O for twenty so 163 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: he knows he can swing back the other way just 164 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: as quickly. 165 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 4: So he wouldn't even that wouldn't even go through his mind. No, 166 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 4: thatt process wouldn't even go through his mind. And for 167 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: like someone like me, I probably would. 168 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: You know, he thinks of others first. He's quite a 169 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: human being. 170 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: So my colleague at MLB dot com, Paul Casella, you 171 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: mentioned how that last at bat, Jim how he you 172 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: know what? It was a fifty seven mile an hour pitch, 173 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: And Schwarber said after the games, like I've never had 174 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: luck against position players. Kyle Schwarber has faced fourteen position 175 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: players in his career. He is homerless against them. He's 176 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: two for nine with a double and an infield single, 177 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: sackfly walk twice, been hit by a pitch twice. 178 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 3: So Kyles Swarber, he. 179 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: Says he's got a mental block against him. I almost 180 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: feel like again like he kind of goes in there going, 181 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. 182 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I hit a home run up. 183 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: If you don't want to set the record against you know, 184 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: buddy beyond Kalama or something coming in from shortstop, you know, 185 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: And you know, Kyle Schwarber's two for nine against position 186 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 2: players because he's a baseball player, and that ain't baseball. 187 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: There we go, Jim, Jim was coming out. 188 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: That's eventually a couple other like fun numbers that I 189 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: came across last night, and one of this is from Elias. 190 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: So there have been three hundred and fifty cycles in 191 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: baseball history. Three hundred and two no hitters. That doesn't 192 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: include perfect games. There have been twenty four perfect games 193 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: in baseball history and only twenty one four homer games. 194 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: So it's rareer to hit four home runs in a 195 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: game that it is to throw a perfect game. And 196 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: Sarah Langs, who again is one of my colleagues at 197 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: MLB dot com, She's unbelievable, absolutely unbelieve If you're on 198 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: X and you don't follow Sarah Langs, you gotta do it. 199 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: She comes up with so much great stuff. These I 200 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: thought were fantastic. So most home runs in a team's 201 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: first one hundred and thirty four games in Philly's history 202 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber twenty twenty five, Ryan Howard forty nine two 203 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: thousand and six, and then Mike Schmidt forty one in 204 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. So Kyle Schwarber is very much on 205 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: I mean, he's tied with Brian Howard right now to 206 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: tie the franchise record, if not surpass it. And then 207 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: the most home runs in the first four seasons with 208 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: the team in baseball history. That's any team in baseball history. 209 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: Mark McGuire Saint Louis Cardinals one hundred and ninety one, 210 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: Babe Ruth, New York Yankees one eight nine, and then 211 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber, Philadelphia Phillies one eighty. 212 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: He's the modern day Baby Ruth.

It's not on Friday Night's. 328 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: Handtent, Diners, Drives and dives or whatever. 329 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: You got it. 330 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: There we go. 331 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 2: I'll be there tonight. 332 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 3: I thought you gonna say Friday Night Lights, which is 333 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 3: all I'll be. 334 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 2: I'll be watching that tonight. 335 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: Jim loves Jay. 336 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 3: I just want to if we. 337 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 7: Want to talk a little bit more about the whole 338 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 7: Schwarber thing, sure, because the most important thing about what 339 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 7: I see in Schwarber is not just the home runs 340 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 7: that he's hitting, but the quality of the home muns 341 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 7: he hit him off left handers, which is at an 342 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 7: historic rate also. 343 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 3: But but it's pretty. 344 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 4: Cool to watch him develop as like an overall hitter 345 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 4: because he's the kind of guy that's very streaky and 346 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 4: has been in the past where he'll go in the 347 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 4: tank for a long time, like he was oh for 348 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 4: twenty or whatever over eleven, but he typically, like when 349 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 4: he was younger, would go like oh for or even 350 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 4: more than or like one. 351 00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 8: For a lot, really bad months, have bad month, and 352 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 8: he is and he has shortened those slumps greatly. And 353 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 8: I think it's the work that he does with k 354 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 8: Long in the cage it's the approach that he has 355 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 8: of getting back to seeing the ball longer and driving 356 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 8: the ball, thinking about driving ball through the middle of 357 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 8: the field, and all those adjustments have made him a 358 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 8: better hitter every single year, not just a better slugger, 359 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 8: but a better hitter. His slug comes from his strength 360 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 8: and his hand speed, but his hitting ability has come 361 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 8: from the work that he's put in to change his. 362 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: Overall approach on the daily. And that is something that's 363 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 4: really special for me. And that's why, you know, you 364 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 4: you have to look at the MVP type discussion, because 365 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: he really has. 366 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 3: Become a more complete hitter. 367 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 4: I know he's not playing defense, and I get that 368 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 4: part of it, but in this day and age, I 369 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 4: don't think it matters anymore that d H is something 370 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 4: pretty important. 371 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: He's gotten to be a better hitter. He's gotten to 372 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: be a better hitter and shortened his periods of you know, 373 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: offers whatever you want to call him, the struggle right 374 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: with plain old fashioned work. I mean, after the what 375 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: twenty three season, when he hit like two hundred, and 376 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: he hit like against left, he's hit. 377 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 3: Like one eighty, he hit on fifty points. 378 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was embarrassed. He flat out and admitted that, 379 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: and he went to work and he's probably shortened swing 380 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 2: a little bit, but he definitely focus on the middle 381 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: of the field and he focused on becoming a better hitter. 382 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: And when you're that strong and you can become a 383 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: better hitter and improve the quality of your contact, a 384 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: lot of peop are going to go over the wall. 385 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: It's a great lesson for people. You don't try to 386 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: hit home runs. You try to make great contact, and 387 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: if the loft is right, and the acceleration is right 388 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: and the active veloci is right, it goes over the wall. 389 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 3: But he. 390 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: That's exactly That's exactly what Charlie Manuel used to tell 391 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 4: Jim Tony. Your natural ability will allow you to hit 392 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 4: the ball out of the ballpark, but if you hit 393 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: three hundred, you will hit many, many more balls out 394 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 4: of the ballpark. 395 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 3: Right, And that's really sort of the approach. 396 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 4: That's another similarity between what's going on with Kyle Schwarber 397 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 4: and what happened in Jim Tony's career. 398 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: So, Rubin, you mentioned Kyle Schwarber and MVP talk. I mean, 399 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: he's hearing the MVP chance at Citizens Bank Park. He 400 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: certainly deserves serious serious, serious consideration. You know, do you 401 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: guys have any thoughts on can he actually win it? 402 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 3: Though? 403 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: I mean last year was the first time that a 404 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: full time DH ever won an MVP award. Show Hey 405 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: Otani last year, but he had to have a fifty 406 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: to fifty season, fifty home runs, fifty stolen bases. David 407 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: Ortiz finished top five several times. I think Edgar Martinez 408 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: finished top five once or twice. Paul Malder finished top 409 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: five maybe once. I'm talking about full time DH is 410 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: not a guy that plays you know, Don Baylor, I 411 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: think he won al MVP and seventy nine he played 412 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: like ninety games in right field and then seventy games 413 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: at DH. So that's not a full time DH. So 414 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: there's a very tough road that he's gonna have to 415 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: go up. He's gonna have to fight against some history. 416 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to fight against, honestly, some guys that 417 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: at the end of the season they're gonna go All right, 418 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: let's start with War. Okay, where's Kyle Schwarber rank? As 419 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: of today, Kyle Schwarber Baseball Reference War is eleventh in 420 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: the National League four point four and as of last night, 421 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: he was tied for eighth and war Fangrafts wore four 422 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 1: point five, So you know he's top ten ish. So 423 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have some voters. They're gonna to 424 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: look at all these guys and go, oh, Pete crow Armstrong, 425 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: he's really falling off a cliff. Kyle Tucker, he's really 426 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: kind of falling off a cliff in the second half, 427 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: Bryce Terrang, Nico Horner, some of these show, Hey, you know, 428 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna they're gonna have to look at this and 429 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go, Okay, Kyle Schwarber dh incredible season. 430 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: Offensively he plays Dhu and then they're gonna have to go, 431 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: what else does he bring to the table. Well, we 432 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: see him play every day and he obviously he brings 433 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: so much to the table. And Jim you said it 434 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: Thursday's episode. He said it again today at the top 435 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: of the show, that, man, where would this team kind 436 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: of be without Kyle Schwarber, And that to me puts 437 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: him in you know, top two, top three. I don't 438 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: know if he'll win it, but I could I could 439 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: sit down. I'll get calls from other voters and go like, 440 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: all right, who do you got in the Phillies. Tell 441 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: me about why this guy should gets consideration, and I 442 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: will tell them that this team would be nowhere near 443 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: where it is right now if they did not have 444 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: Kyle Shwarbur in this lineup. I mean, to me, hands 445 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: down MVP of his team, to me, hands down most 446 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: most valuable player in the National League. They would be 447 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: who knows where they would be without him. 448 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: I take very seriously the middle name of the award 449 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: valuable most valuable player. To me, it's not the guy 450 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: with the best numbers. Necessarily the guy who had the 451 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: best season. Some voters you do have that guideline, and 452 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 2: I respect it, But I'm looking at the guy who 453 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: has the most value to his team, the most value 454 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: to a team that is in it is a contender 455 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: because the reason all this exist is to try to 456 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: win championships. So I'm looking at the guy who is 457 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 2: that levining agent on a great team, on a good team, 458 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: and that's to me, Kyle Schwarber. And you know, lastly, 459 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: I think really helps his chances. It was kind of 460 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 2: an iconic moment that's going to resonate with people, but 461 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 2: you know, also time and place when it came, it 462 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: came after for one of their real low points of 463 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: the season. It came after Aaronola gave up four runs 464 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: in the first inning. Everybody's like, oh no, here we 465 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: go again. It was just a moment that grabbed a 466 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: team that needed it and lifted it. And that's value. 467 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 2: And you don't see that on a on a on 468 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 2: a stat line. You only see that by by paying 469 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: attention to a team and being aware of all the 470 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 2: nuance and everything else a guy like that brings. So 471 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: if people are paying attention, this really, a night like 472 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 2: this really has to help his chances. I mean it 473 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: leads to he's okay, he's got forty nine home home runs, 474 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: he's one off the major league lead. Rawley's got fifty 475 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: leader unless he hit one at midnight last night. Uh, 476 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: and he's leading the majors in RBIs pretty you know, 477 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: and there's there's many others that you want to look at. 478 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: So I know it's the DH thing, but show heyes, DH. 479 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 2: I know he pitches. He's been pitching. To me, it's 480 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: a two horse race. And they're both great and they 481 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: both are that leavening agent for their teams. But last 482 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 2: night that was to me a iconic signature moment in 483 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 2: Schwarber's candidacy. 484 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 4: I think last year sort of set the precedent for 485 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: a full time DH to win it. I mean, you 486 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 4: can't do it one year and say it's not okay 487 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 4: the next year, and so I think that that sort 488 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 4: of set the precedent for it. And I'll just bring 489 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: up one other situation. You know, I was were talked 490 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 4: about the ninety five team with the Indians, and you know, 491 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 4: we had a guy in Albert Bell who had one 492 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 4: of the most extraordinary scenes I've ever seen, and he 493 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 4: had fifty home runs, fifty doubles, had about one hundred 494 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 4: and forty RBIs. 495 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 3: He was a real ass and. 496 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 4: He ended up losing the MVP because mo Vaughn was 497 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 4: a quality person and a nice person to be around 498 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 4: and had a great year for the Boston Red Side. 499 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: And I think that had some impact on, you know, 500 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 4: some of the decision making by the writers. 501 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: And I'm not sure if that holds as true. 502 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 4: Nowadays because everybody's just sort of pounding the numbers. But 503 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 4: when you look at the totality of what this person 504 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 4: brings to this franchise and what he's done for the team, 505 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 4: he is a galvanizing player, not just offensively with what 506 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 4: he does at the plate and the improvements he's made, 507 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 4: but he's also a galvanizing player as far as the 508 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 4: community is concerned, as far as the clubhouse is concerned, 509 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 4: and the overall team aspect of the ball club. So 510 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 4: he's an MVP on a lot of levels. And it's 511 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 4: not just on the field, but I know the on 512 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 4: field piece of it. 513 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 6: Is the most important when you start to talk about 514 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 6: m vps, because there's some other assets who've been MVPs, but. 515 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 3: But it does make a difference. And then pretty special 516 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 3: person too, So it'll be interesting to see how it 517 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 3: all plays out. But as far as I'm concerned, this is. 518 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 7: This. 519 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 3: He is certainly worthy. 520 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: He's a great clubhouse guy and a great teammate. And 521 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: you talk about lifting a team, how many guys have 522 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 2: had a good night or a good performance or a 523 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: good week this season in that Phillies clubhouse because maybe 524 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber supported them during a downtime and helped lift 525 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: them up and help counsel them. Because he's that type 526 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 2: of guy. So he has a to me, a great 527 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: hall of fame. Maybe someday Hall of fame, but he 528 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: has a great MVP resume for twenty twenty five. 529 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely does.

He's different. He 583 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: doesn't have this long, loping, looping swing where you go 584 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: like he's really gonna He's got the short, compacts quick swing, 585 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: one of the quickest swings in baseball. I think he's 586 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: gonna age. Well, you know, he's d hing two, which 587 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: is gonna help. He's not out there running around left field. 588 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: He's not gonna blow his knee out or he's not 589 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: gonna wear it down play anyway, what were we gonna say, 590 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: Jim after the game? 591 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, after the game, Uh, you know, 592 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: in the tunnel underneath, saw John Middleton walking through, and 593 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 2: that thought popped in my head and gave him awave 594 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 2: you know, and but he obviously he knows, and he knows. 595 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: He listens to his customers, he knows how important this 596 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: guy is. He's around the team a lot, he sees 597 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: the performance and he sees the intangibles. So I don't 598 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 2: see how you can light Kyle Schwarber walk. He's just 599 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: he's he's too important and he has, right before our eyes, 600 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 2: become an iconic Pilly. 601 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, and. 602 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 4: It's almost like Boston allowing, you know, Mookie Betts to 603 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 4: sort of walk or move him. I just don't understand 604 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 4: how they could do it. He's too iconic. I know 605 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 4: Bryce Harper was has been sort of the face the 606 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 4: fan franchise in a lot of ways, the showman, but 607 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 4: this guy embodies everything that Philly's about and on so 608 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 4: many different levels. And so you're right, John Middleton and 609 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 4: Dave Dombrowski they know it. They're gonna do their best 610 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 4: to bring him back. I know that they're trying. They've tried. 611 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 4: I know that it's been shelved, and it should be 612 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 4: because the guy bet on himself and he's letting it happen, 613 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 4: and he's gonna do exactly what he's supposed to do 614 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 4: as a free agent step off having the best season. 615 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 3: Of his career and uh, and he's going to reap 616 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 3: the benefits of the baby. 617 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 2: And it's it's funny. It should be, in my opinion, 618 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: should be you know, obviously, if you can sign, I 619 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: think it should be shelved right now because the only 620 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: focus in this organization should be winning a World Series. 621 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: And after last hosting, yeah, hoisted. And after last night's game, 622 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 2: somebody mentioned to Schwarber, I think it was Tim Kelly, 623 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: that you're only nine away from Ryan Howard's franchise record. 624 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: You got twenty some twenty eight games to go. What 625 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 2: do you think? And you know, Schwarber was very honest. 626 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 2: He said, hey, if it happens, great, but our focus 627 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: is on something bigger than that, you know, a team goal, 628 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: and that's winning a championship. It was the exact right answer, 629 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 2: and I know it was sincere because they he wants 630 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: a ring in his case, another ring. He got one 631 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 2: with the Cubs, but in that room wants a ring. 632 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 2: I know they have series like they had in New York. 633 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 2: It's baseball, but just a week earlier they had a 634 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 2: series against Seattle that was like just the opposite, just 635 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 2: as good as New York was bad, you know, and 636 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 2: then last night to come home and have a game 637 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: like this and a statement like this, and Nola, I'll 638 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 2: tell you what. He struggled thirty seven pitches in the 639 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 2: first inning, but you know after that was like ten pitches, 640 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 2: eleven pitches, ten He got it together. You the Braves 641 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 2: are not the Braves of old. They got two dangerous 642 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 2: bats in the middle. I know they're banged up, they're 643 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 2: not gonna play in October, but he still made a 644 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 2: lot of good pitches after that. He's got like five 645 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: weeks to prove that he should be in the postseason 646 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 2: rotation and give them something to think about. So to me, 647 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 2: even Nola was a step in the right direction. He 648 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: touched ninety four a few times. So uh, you know, 649 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 2: Harper real Mudo Kepler with another home run, just about 650 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: plastic night. How about a whole bunch of hits, triple 651 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 2: running all over the place, bringing energy. It was a 652 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: terrific night, he really it was. 653 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: I mean a lot, a lot of fun for sure. 654 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up Nolan and his his performance. 655 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: You know, he definitely bounced back after that.
