WEBVTT - EMERGENCY POD! Phillies acquire Luis Arraez, two relievers

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, this is Chase that Lee.

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>This is the Phillies show, Ruben Omar Junior, Jim Salisbury,

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Todd Zleki. It is an emergency pod. I gotta do

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>a couple of those emergency pod. It's Monday, August third,

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty six, and the Phillies have made a couple

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 2>of trades. They got louise A Rise and Caleb Killian

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>from the Giants and then Lefty Brooks Railey from the Mets.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>Will go over all the details in a bit, but

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess the headliner Jim Rubin is louise A Rise Rubin.

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:45.919
<v Speaker 2>I imagine.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 3>I love the listen. I know he's not right handed,

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 3>but that's not the issue. They need to inject some

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 3>on base percentage, some contact quality hitter.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>This is just quality hitters.

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 3>You're going to have close as close to it Tony

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Gwynn type as you're going to possibly get.

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>The on base percentage has been an issue.

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Creating run possibilities has been an issue.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy who's going to get hits.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 3>He's not gonna walk a lot, he's not going to

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 3>strike out ever, but he's going to make contact and

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I think he's going to without a question. He's going

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 3>to compliment this.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>This lineup really really well.

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 3>Not it's not the same sort of impact as a

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 3>pied Alonzo would have from the right side, because it's

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 3>not a power bat, but this is a quality bat

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 3>that will help lengthen the lineup, create more opportunities to

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>score runs. And that's really what you want from a

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>from a lineup that really struggles with on base percentage

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>and struggles to to lengthen innings and put pressure on

0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 3>a pitcher.

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 4>Agree, the on base percentage factor and putting the bat

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 4>on the ball is huge. He also brings a ton

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 4>of energy, which I look at this team and this

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 4>offense and say, yeah, you could really benefit from that.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 4>And you know, sometimes offense equals energy. So I love

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 4>the pickup from that perspective. I think there's a lot

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>of risk, a lot of moving parts, a lot of

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 4>potential risk. I mean, you're asking Bryce in Stott to

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 4>play somewhere. I don't think he's played since spring training

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 4>briefly in twenty twenty two. But he's a baseball player.

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 4>I think he can do it, but you never know.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.679
<v Speaker 4>I think Alec Bum's gonna be fine.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>At first.

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 4>Bryce hasn't played the outfield right field since twenty two,

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 4>but I should be able to do.

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>It for a couple months.

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 4>There's also an element. Okay, Bryce, you know, we got

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 4>you some offense, but we're really gonna need you to

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 4>back it up and be the guy who wore the

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 4>last few days. He's picked it up this week. I'm

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 4>a little concerned about, you know, middle of a field

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 4>defense already very shaky at at shortstop. A Rise is

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 4>not the defender that Stott is, at least with my eyeballs.

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, you could maybe look at some advanced metrics

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 4>that might tell you otherwise. But look, I admire the

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 4>creativity and I think it has the potential for a

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 4>lot of upside for three months.

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>We shall see.

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm still curious to see if they bring in some

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 4>starting pitching because I'm worried about the starting pitching depth.

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 4>You lose one of those guys, I think you're in trouble.

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 4>But they have addressed and offense that gets shut out

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 4>too much, that scores one run too much, that looks

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of lifeless too much, And if you only got

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 4>so many bullets and so many you know, opportunities to

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 4>fill multiple holes I think it's a pretty good shot

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 4>they have taken.

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Rise is batting three twenty four power numbers don't matter,

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 2>four home runs, forty three RBIs eight hundred oh ps.

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>He's walked twenty five times this season. He's struck out

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>only twenty one times. Strikeout rate four and a half percent. Guys,

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>that's the best by far out of one hundred and

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>fifty qualified hitters in Major League Baseball. I think the

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>next best guy is Nico Hornert, like eight and a

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>half percent. So this is a guy that's gonna put

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the ball in play. He's gonna hit for a high average.

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna help out a little bit. That three h

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>four team on base percentage, which is tied for I

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>think twenty eighth in baseball not good. That the inability

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>to extend innings or cashing on route, cashing on runners

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 2>on base has been super pop problematic. I think they've

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>scored one or fewer runs twenty six times this season.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>It's like third most in baseball. So we know all

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>the offensive problems. So yeah, I think the expectation, of

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>course is at Bryce's Yeah, is Bryce my understanding, Jim,

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you're understanding Ruben you're understanding is that Bryce is gonna

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>move out to the outfield unless something.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 4>He's already said he would. I mean, he said, you know,

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 4>you've talked to him, but he has told team officials

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 4>in the short term here revolving revolving around this arise deal,

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 4>that yes he will.

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I mean that's that's good. I mean, going

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 2>back to last Monday, you know in Miami had his

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>outfielders glove ready for this opportunity in this moment, he said, Yeah,

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 2>why do you guys keep asking me this. I've said

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I will play in the outfield. I will play in

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the outfield for a couple of months.

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>And I did ask him.

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I said that you think like physically, like how is

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 2>that gonna go? And and he kind of dead panties, like, well,

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Bobby's got me running around every day in the infield.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 2>This actually could be good for me. I can have

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Dickerson up my up my butt every day doing

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>infield drills. So he thinks that he can play out

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 2>there in the short term, what do you Okay, who

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>knows when a rise is going to get here? Where

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>would you hit him in the lineup?

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>So here's a couple of things. I got it. I

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>got it. Yeah, probably in the one hole.

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 3>But I here's here's where I'm at on a couple

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 3>of different things. The arise thing not only helps lengthen

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 3>out the lineup, but he gives you a little bit

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 3>of different dynamic, no question about it.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>We talked about that already, and I do think Jimmy,

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I think. I agree.

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 3>I think he's in the one hole and trays into

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 3>two hole, and then beyond that that then that's Don

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Mattingly's deal.

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Fourth. Yeah. Yeah.

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 3>So the question that I have is I think that

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Harparo hit third and then Schwarbrol hit fourth.

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe, but I believe. So here's the thing.

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 3>There's a residual thing that can happen with having a

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 3>rise on the club.

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>What can it do.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 3>I believe that it will help hitters like Bryce and Stott.

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it'll help hitters like Justin Crawford. I think

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 3>it will help maybe even some of the other guys.

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 3>This is a veteran bat that is probably going to

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 3>be imparting some of his thought process and knowledge and

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 3>all those things. It's not going to change everybody's approach,

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 3>and that's not gonna happen necessarily, But I do think

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 3>that his commitment to the way he approaches at bats

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 3>has can rub off from the rest of or parts

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 3>of the rest of the lineup. Just the thought there,

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 3>that's number one, number two, why not and if I'm

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 3>the GM, and if I'm Don Mattingly, why not just

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 3>put him at first base and then move Bryce Harper

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 3>to write because that improves probably a little bit, or

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 3>it's at least a neutral at first base, might even

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 3>improve a little bit because he's had experienced playing first base.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I know he wanted to play second base, but he's

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 3>now with a new team, and he's now in a

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 3>contending situation. I don't think he can dictate where he's

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 3>gonna play. He's gonna be a free agent anyway. And

0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 3>number two, I think, Jim, you hit a great point.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I think you can't make your middle infield any worse.

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Why would you do that defensively? And that's a concern

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>because now it becomes a little worse because he's not

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>as good a defenders as Bryson Stott second base. You

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>already have.

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Somebody's a little bit of a liability at times at short.

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 3>That concerns me so why not just put him at

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 3>first and send and and have Bryson Scott excuse me,

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Rice Harper play right field. That is a very simple move.

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to move four guys. Now you just

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 3>move one and or now you just.

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Move two instead of four. That's my final thing. You

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>also make you make your overall defense better.

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 4>I don't think he wants to. I've seen reports he

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 4>does not want to come off second. He wants to

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 4>play second. So I again, I don't know if that

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 4>that might have a lot to do with it. I mean,

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 4>how about another concern you are you're very left handed.

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 4>You're very left handed.

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't that doesn't concern me as much because I don't

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 3>view him as like a left just a lefty on

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 3>left because he himself.

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're not.

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Those other guys aren't flipping over and hitting the right.

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna be left handed anyway. This guy's a left

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 3>handed hitter who can hit his left handers and put

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 3>the ball in play and do all those things that

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 3>are necessary.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not I don't I didn't look at all the splits.

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 3>But my from my eyes and from what I understand

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 3>about the player, we can look at the splits.

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I just think that he's you know, he's.

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 3>An everyday player, and he's an everyday player who has

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 3>success against lefties end rightings.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 4>And you're putting a lot on base percentage in the

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 4>top of your lineup, ahead of Turner, ahead of Harper,

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 4>ahead of Schwarber, So that should equal.

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 2>More damage a batting three point fifteen with the seven

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 2>eighty two ops this season against lefties, eight or nine

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 2>ops against righty's. So I mean, he's doesn't matter who's

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 2>thrown to him. I guess as we know. I mean,

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>you hit three, three twenty every year for the last

0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 2>how many years?

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, Gott he's as close to an element to

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Tony gwyn as you as you can have right now

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 3>in this particular era. Not the power, but I mean

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 3>just having that guy at the top of the lineup, uh,

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 3>the on base all all the things that he brings

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 3>to the table, the the ability to grind it bats

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 3>and make it more difficult on the pitcher and to

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, to get that starting pitcher out of the

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 3>game faster. I mean, all types of things that are

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 3>that that. I mean, the domino effect of having that

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 3>type of a hitter is pretty grandiose pretty big.

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Jim Rubin, don't get mad at me. Now, I'm going

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 2>to tell you something, Okay, don't get mad at me. Well,

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 2>we used to rise outs above average this season at

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 2>second base plus eleven, second best in Major League Baseball.

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Bryce and Scott six outs above average, ninth in Major

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball. So so we'll see, we will see, we

0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>will see how he does it second base.

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 4>But I can't believe those Bryce and Stott numbers.

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 3>I just think I just think that overall, you're a

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:15.959
<v Speaker 3>better defensive team. Right by just putting a rise at

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 3>first and Bryce and right, you're just.

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.079
<v Speaker 1>A better team. But I don't make those decisions that

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not paid to do. So.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 2>So, if you have bryceon right, obviously he's playing every day,

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 2>how do you what do you do in center? What

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 2>do you do in left? Brian day La Cruz has

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 2>been swinging a good bat. Do you put him in

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the left field with Brandon Marsh you have and then

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>you have then you have Derrek Hill and Justin Crawford

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 2>platoon and center? Yeah right, yes, yes, okay, all right,

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>we're on it. Look at us on the same page.

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 4>I still shake my head at some of the metrics

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 4>on Bryson Stott's defense, becausehen I look at him, Hillies,

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 4>I see a terrific defense, and.

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not a slight on our rise.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I just feel like, I just feel like you have

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 3>so many more moving parts.

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>If you, if you, if.

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 3>You move boom from and Boone's been fine at third,

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Boone doesn't play a lot of first base.

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm not that impressed with the way Boone. I mean,

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 5>you don't know how Boonem's gonna play at first. Yeah,

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 5>if you're gonna play great at first, is Stott gonna

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 5>play great at third?

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's a concern to me, man.

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, It's one of those things that, like the average

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Joe doesn't really think about until there's a big play

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>in the game and then you know.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's a totally different play for Bryson Stott

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 5>to come running in on a bare hand swinging bunt

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 5>to run bunt plays.

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I know he's been in the infield.

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, listen, I like his instinct and all that stuff,

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 3>But ball coming off the bat so differently from from

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 3>third base rather than second base, so different And yes,

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 3>can he play the position, but can he play the

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 3>position when you have like a man on third base

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 3>or first and third and you need a double play,

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 3>and does he make the decision if the balls hit

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 3>hard enough to go to the double play or does

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 3>he go to home. It's just a totally different thing

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 3>for him to do and so many different responsibilities. I

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 3>just feel like the easier move is to put a

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:31.559
<v Speaker 3>rise at first and Bryson right, I'm gonna be hound.

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Monster Energy is keeping the Philly show going all season long.

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Unleash the Beast. Game Day isn't just about baseball. It's

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>about bringing the energy wherever you are. Pick up a

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Monster Energy drink at your local retailer and fuel the hype.

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Might need one today as this trade deadline approaches. To

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 2>tricks that we haven't even talked about. The bullpen pieces,

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>guys like Brooks Raley, Caleb Killian, just in terms of

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>depth improving the app. They needed it. We know they

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>needed it. We knew they were going to go out

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and get it. But Brooks Ralli has had a pretty

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 2>nice year and it really solves a problem from the

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 2>left handed side.

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Two big league pitchers, two big league pictures.

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Right Killians pitched at the back end for the Giants,

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 4>a bit this year, gets some strikeouts. Raley's tough against

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 4>the lefties, but also having a good year against righties.

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I think something to like here about

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 4>these two acquisitions is they hung on to Andrew Painter, who, Okay,

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, say what you want about him. I still

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 4>think he's got a lot of talent and can end

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 4>up being a good picture for this team for a

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 4>long time. I'm still a believer. So you hang on

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 4>to Andrew Painter, who was coveted quite a bit in

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 4>this trade deadline. You hang on to gage Wood, who

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 4>is coveted, was coveted quite a bit at this trade deadline.

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 4>You lose Marquez and ascending talent kind of really has

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 4>come on and landed on the map this year. A

0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 4>lot of people like him. But I think it's a

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 4>sacrifice what actually had to make.

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 2>So the Phillies have announced that we're recording this in

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 2>the afternoon. Phillies officially announced that the Arise deal has happened,

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 2>and to make room for them on the roster, they

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 2>dfa Lou Trevino and Peyton Henry. So there's there's your

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 2>corresponding forty men roster moves.

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's not make a small deal out of the Brooks

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Rally deal. Okay, the Brooks Rally deal is big. I

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>mean you look at the numbers.

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Got forty five games pitched to one point nine to

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 3>six cra a whip that's under one point one. I mean,

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 3>this is a guy that's had a lot of success.

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 3>He's got the lefties hitting one to eighty six. Listen,

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 3>beyond Alvarado is starting to throw a little bit better.

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think I trust this guy, maybe more

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 3>than Alvarado. I certainly trust him more than mays En Bacchus.

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you've made a very not just an incremental

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 3>improvement on your back end of your bullpen up, pretty

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 3>significant one. It'd be nice to get another one. I'd

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 3>love to get another lockdown right hand or I don't

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 3>know if they can do that, and I'm not sure.

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 3>And and Raley's done well against left right handers as well,

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 3>so he may be sliding into that eight slot, who knows,

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 3>or mixing match with he and Jonathan Bollen, who's sort

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 3>of stepped forward.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>But they made him. That's it. That's a pretty big move, folks. Yeah, uh,

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>don't don't.

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Don't think for a minute now, will he perform. I

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 3>don't know, but but he's been there, he's done it.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>He's been around.

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 3>This guy who's throwing the ball very well, he's getting

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 3>people out.

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>He's a veteran guy. He's been around. I know he's

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>not young, but that's important. You'd like to have veteran

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>guys who have been through the wars a little bit.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>And uh, I think it's a nice vote. Yeah, and

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>they got him at a very low cost.

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 2>They did, They did. Bikerman was like ranked twenty seventh

0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 2>in the system and Gabris Saint Joe's guy on his

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 2>way up to New York. But it's a good time.

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Amy Alvarado has been throwing the ball better lately, so

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe they can if they could get both of those

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>guys going. Now all of a sudden, that those seventh

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 2>and eighth innings aren't like, hold on to your butts,

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.919
<v Speaker 2>hold on your h Yeah, but.

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned you mentioned Alvarado, and this ties all into

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 4>what something we've talked about now for a couple of

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 4>years in a row. Their success is still going to

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 4>be tied to their existing core guys who've done in

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 4>the past, the guys with the track records. Harper I

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 4>would even put Alvarado on that list. It's been a

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 4>key contributor around here. He needs to be a key

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 4>contributor again. They need Turner to keep swinging it and

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 4>sharpest defense. They need the three all stars who had

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.640
<v Speaker 4>really disappointing julys Marsh, Schwarmer, and Harper all had difficult July.

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 4>They need him to get back on the horse and

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 4>really you know, be strong, productive contributors the rest of

0:17:59.320 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 4>the way here.

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so, so we'll see stay healthy in the rotation.

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 1>They need one hundred percent health in the rotation, one

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent. I think there's some there's some optimism for

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>me on Painter. This is the way through.

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you can continue and get continue

0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 3>to improve and gain in his overall confidence.

0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>But uh, that's a piece of this as well.

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 3>That's going to be important because Painter needs They need

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 3>some wins out of four and five slot.

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So we'll see if the Phillies make any more

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 2>trades before the six pm Eastern deadline. I don't think

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna do any more emergency pods today unless they

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>go out and do something.

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Unless they go get Pete Alonzo now.

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.199
<v Speaker 2>And Mike Trout, they get Trout and Alonso will have

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>an emergency pod, another emergency pod. Otherwise, though, I think

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 2>we're planning to get together on Tuesday morning to discuss

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 2>everything that Dave Dombrowski had to say about these trades.

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Harper, you know, Bryce and stuff, Alec Baum, all

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 2>these moving pieces you know in terms of the bullpen

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Don Mattingly of course. So we'll be back Tuesday morning
