1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: I'm Scott Franski. 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 2: I got and this is the Phillies Show. 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 3: Rubenhamara Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todd's Lucky, It's the Phillies Show. 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 3: We got a lot of talk about Jim Ruben, so 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 3: much going on, and let's start with this. Jim, I'm 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 3: gonna start with you. I'm gonna ask you a question 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 3: that Don Manning we posed like four times after Wednesday's loss, 8 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 3: what are the Phillies made of? 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: He did say it four times. He was like, this 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: seems like he's writing a song. That was the refrain, 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: what are the Phillies made of? 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: Jim? 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: I agree with Don. We're gonna find out. I don't 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: know what they're made of. I'll tell you what. They 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: showed a lot of character coming back from nine to nineteen. 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: They're gonna need similar character now to hang on to 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: that wildcard spot because they've had such a lousy run here. 18 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: They've let a lot of teams back into it. They 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: had a nice, comfortable grasp on a wildcard spot and 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: now it's a little tenuous and pitching suspect, bullpen, suspect, 21 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: offenses suspect. But we all know how this game is. 22 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: It runs in cycles. They could certainly go on an 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: upswing here, but they need to go on an up 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: swing very soon. I thought Wednesday's game in Miami was 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: as close to a must win as you can get 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: in the month of July, and man, they were on 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: their way to getting it. And they folded a lot 28 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: of emphasis on attention on the bullpen, giving it away 29 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: Don Mattingly's decisions. But I think the bulk of the 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: emphasis should be on Jose Jesuslzaro. Pardon me, just didn't 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: lock it down. You got to lock those things down. 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: You can't let that team back in and start to 33 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: leave it. So in some ways, I think that game 34 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: was a microcosm of what's going on lately. Yeah, it's 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: got to stop. And I'm a big believer in confidence 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: and momentum. Go on there in Baltimore. Take it out 37 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: on somebody, take it out on somebody. You're angry, you're frustrated, 38 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: to take it out on somebody, and you know, get 39 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: back on your legs here. But I don't know what 40 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: they're made of. We're going to find. 41 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: Out, Rubin, what are the Phillies made of? 42 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: You know, they've always been a very resilient team. For 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 4: the last several years. One of the things that have 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 4: been impressed by then, you know, when the chips are down, 45 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: they've bounced back and somehow won, like after like terrible 46 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 4: games like you saw on Wednesday, they bounced back and won. 47 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: You know, then they win a series or they win 48 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 4: like weel off eight out of ten. 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: They're gonna have to do that now. 50 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 4: I'm not sure if they have the ability. I think 51 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 4: they have the ability to do it. I just don't 52 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 4: know if they're playing well enough to be able to 53 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 4: do it because so many facets of the game are 54 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 4: going so poorly. 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: As Jim pointed. 56 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 4: Out, the starting pitching has been there, stalwart has been 57 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: you know, the thing that's you know, kept them afloat 58 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 4: for a long long time. And on Wednesday, that's starting pitching, 59 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 4: one of their races faltered. It was something that you 60 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: didn't really expect to see. But you know, but there 61 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: was a whole other slew of things that happened. I mean, 62 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: obviously the bullpen didn't do his job. I don't think 63 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 4: the decisions were that were made by the manager as 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: far as you know, who to bring in at certain 65 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 4: times were very good ones. And I think that was 66 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 4: part of what cost them. And I also, you know, 67 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 4: feel like their offense just doesn't know how to add on. 68 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 4: They don't know how to put together at bats. They 69 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: go in spurts. They'll have a couple of innings where 70 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 4: they're fine, but then they'll go for twelve innings and 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: there and they just can't generate runs. So there's a 72 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 4: lot of flaws going on right now. And the reality 73 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 4: of it is, regardless of the comments that were made 74 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: with the manager and the superstar player in Harper, they 75 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 4: have to look at themselves in the mirror and start 76 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: playing better baseball because it doesn't matter who they get 77 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 4: in here, that does not guarantee with the way they're 78 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 4: playing baseball, does not guarantee them getting into the playoffs 79 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 4: and moving forward. 80 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: And so that's the issue I have. 81 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: The boys that are in that twenty six man roster 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: right now have to turn it up, and if they don't, 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 4: they could be in trouble. And we said a couple 84 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: of weeks ago, this team is definitely making it. You know, 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: there's no chance that they don't make the playoffs. Well, 86 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 4: guess what, there's a chance now. And you didn't think 87 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 4: that was humanly possible, but the way they've played and 88 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: how poorly they've played, it. 89 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: Is the additions that get made here in the next 90 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: few days, and there will be additions, are not going 91 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: to decide they're gonna help this team. But they're not 92 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: gonna decide it. The existing big boys making the big 93 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: paychecks with the big track records are going to decide it. 94 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: The same group that got him back into this after 95 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: they were nine to nineteen. That was a tough series 96 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: to swallow, especially because Monday night and Wednesday afternoon you 97 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: scored runs, scored runs, seven and eight runs, right, yeah, 98 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: and you didn't put it away, or six, six and 99 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: seven runs and you didn't put it away. 100 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: Wednesday was the first time they blew a six run 101 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: lead and lost the game since I think it was 102 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: May or I'm sorry, August of twenty twenty two TV 103 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: an idea. How long ago that was? That was in Arizona. 104 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 3: Ranger Swarez started that game and Christopher Sanchez came in 105 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: relief of Ranger Swarez. That's how long ago it was. 106 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: Before Christopher Sanchez was Christopher Sanchez. 107 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: He was just a guy, kind of. 108 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: A warm bodyish, long man type of pitcher. At that point. 109 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: That's how long ago it was. But yeah, they you know, 110 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 3: I think it was JT on Monday night said, yeah, 111 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: the bullpen didn't give up any runs, but they they 112 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: clapbored Zach Wheeler and Joan Duran on Monday night. Unbelievable. 113 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: You know, the pitching decision on Wednesday, of having set 114 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: Johnson pitching that tight spot. He just had a bad feeling. 115 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: As soon as it happened. I was looking. He just 116 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 3: can't throw strikes. You know, he walked the guy. There's 117 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 3: a wild pitch, right, he just did hanging pitch. 118 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, slider. 119 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: It's just clearly miss miss uh miss executed. 120 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a shame. He doesn't locate, he doesn't throw 121 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: throw enough strikes, got a good home. Yeah it's a shame. 122 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know this. Then after the game on Wednesday, 123 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: we asked a couple guys, I think we even have 124 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: don is this does this skid, this three to nine skid, 125 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 3: feel different than that ten game losing streak, And we 126 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: all kind of said it did. The numbers certainly show 127 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 3: that it's that it's different. Here's just some numbers from 128 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: the ten game losing streak numbers versus the three and 129 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: nine skid. Run differential during that ten game skid was 130 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: negative forty three. They had a six to one ops 131 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: A six four six ERA during this twelve game run 132 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: that they're on three and nine, Like I said, negative 133 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: five run differential seven seventeen OPS four five three year. Right, 134 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: But it's just, you know, like like you said, Ruben, 135 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: they're not getting the big hits at the right time, 136 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,119 Speaker 3: and they're not making the big pitch at the right time. 137 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: They're making errors at the wrong time, and it's just 138 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: really getting you know, it's costly, you know, and how 139 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: can you string together runs when you have the worst 140 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: on base percentage of Major League Baseball? You know. I 141 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: remember so many times we're at Chase Chase Utley's locker 142 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: during I know I've mentioned this before, but I remember 143 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: him saying this a few times when those teams are 144 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: always like top five in Major League Baseball and scoring 145 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: the Phillies team, Rubin and Jim as you know, and 146 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: they would been a little bit of a slump, and 147 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: Chase goes, we left sixteen guys on base. That's actually 148 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: okay because eventually, if we keep doing that, we're gonna 149 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 3: start start scoring some runs. But this team really doesn't 150 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 3: do that. They don't they don't leave like a ton 151 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: of guys on base because they don't put it. 152 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: They don't. 153 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't put pressure on teams. They don't grind 154 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 4: it bats. There's a lot of swing and miss, there's 155 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 4: a lot of punch out, and so that puts h 156 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 4: the onus on the home run and the double and 157 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 4: the big hit. 158 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 2: And they leave a lot of men on base. 159 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 4: When they're not leaving men on base, they're hitting home runs, 160 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 4: multiple home runs. 161 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 2: Multiple extra base hits, the drive in runs. 162 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 4: But they're not a team that will get, you know, 163 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 4: out of the nine innings. 164 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: Say they won't score in six of those innings. 165 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 4: They'll score in two of those innings, and they might 166 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 4: put crooked nut up because they'll hit a home run. 167 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: But they're not grinding out at bats. It's just it's 168 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: not who they are. 169 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 4: And so they're going to have to somehow get in 170 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: the groove or not be executed against to be able 171 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 4: to have success offensively because they just don't have the 172 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: ability to grind at bats or don't. Maybe they have 173 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 4: the ability, but they have not. And it's very obvious 174 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 4: with the numbers, and we're in August, and these numbers 175 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 4: don't lie. 176 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 2: This is who they are, and somehow they're going to 177 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: have to work around it. 178 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: One of the differences is between the nine and nineteen, 179 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: between April and now, and part of it does feel 180 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: like April. But one of the big differences. They played 181 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: those two ridiculously hot teams that could do nothing wrong 182 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: over ten games stretch, the Cubs and the Braves. And 183 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: in this stretch they played a Mets team that they 184 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: should have won the series. They played a Marlin team 185 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: that had lost twelve in a row. But I got 186 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: to tip my hat to the Marlins. They keep coming, 187 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: they keep they just they're quitless, very impressive character. Somebody's 188 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: doing something right down there. I know you could say, oh, well, 189 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: what about the twelve in row. Somebody did something right 190 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: this weekend. That team played twenty seven odds. That team 191 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: played its butt off. 192 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 2: Day out. Baseball, the baseball players, baseball. 193 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: See what they're out there every day doing too, Todd. 194 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: We get there early every day we went, except the 195 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: day game because it was an early day game. But 196 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: the first two days, what were they doing at two o'clock?

They run the second in the Major's installing 202 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: in stolen base. 203 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 4: And they also ran a hit and run. I almost 204 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: fell out of my of the booth. They ran a 205 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: straight hit and run yesterday off of Lozardo and Xavier 206 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 4: ANDAs was hitting, was running, yeah, and Sonoa was hitting, 207 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 4: and they ran a straight hit and run out didn't 208 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 4: they didn't execute it, but I almost fell down. 209 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 210 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: And they were out there every day the whole Every 211 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: position player was out there bunting for a good bit 212 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: of time on Monday and Tuesday, over and over and over. 213 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: Get in the spot.

But when you say something about 307 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: our team, then you're saying something about one of our 308 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: players that you don't like.

So he acknowledges that 338 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 3: he's been playing like crap. He knows he's been playing 339 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 3: like crap lately, and you know he knows it. He 340 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: talked about it. So I do appreciate his honesty and listen. 341 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 3: The thing with Bryce for me, guys, is that this 342 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 3: is I mean, Ruben, you said it on Wednesday, like, 343 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: this is what kind of who he is is kind 344 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 3: of what he does. Nobody seems to mind when there's 345 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 3: a free agent out there and he's talking about, Hey, 346 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: I want to go get a big bat. Let's go 347 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 3: get a big bat, and everybody's getting excited. You know, 348 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 3: when the Phillies ask him, Hey, we're having a zoom 349 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 3: call with Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Can you come on this zoom 350 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 3: call with us and make your pitch to Philly try 351 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 3: to bring the star pitcher from Japan. We want you 352 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: to be involved in helping assemble this team and maybe 353 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 3: closing a deal. You know, people seem to like his 354 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 3: involvement involvement there. So he was asked about the team's 355 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 3: needs and. 356 00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: He said it. 357 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 3: But I also at what Don's saying, and I got 358 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: what you were saying, Rubin that. You know, if you're 359 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 3: a player in that clubhouse and you're one of the 360 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 3: outfielders going on, I guess Bryce thinks I stink or 361 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 3: or whatever. So I see both sides of it. 362 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: To me, it's all about perspective. 363 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 4: I mean, from his comments as far as as far 364 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 4: as the front office is concerned, they probably didn't like 365 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 4: to hear him. Some players in that clubhouse probably didn't 366 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 4: want to hear him. But Bryce, and Bryce is going 367 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 4: to say what he wants to say, and he's not 368 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 4: gonna pull a whole lot of punches. And you know 369 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 4: that that is, like I said, that's who he is. 370 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 4: I think it's from a manager's perspective. From from manager's perspective, though, 371 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna like that either, because then 372 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 4: he sort of has to manage the team, right He 373 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 4: has to manage these players that you know that are 374 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 4: that right now, are underachieving and so and Bryce's happens 375 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 4: to be one of them, right so so typically so typically, 376 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 4: and yes, while he acknowledged that, I think it's really 377 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 4: important for those guys to understand that for things to 378 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 4: happen and for things to go well, they need to perform. 379 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: First and foremost. 380 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 4: The trades that the team makes will will go on 381 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 4: deaf ears and will have very little result if the 382 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 4: players that are there right now do not perform at 383 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 4: their level. 384 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: I thought the comments from both men were predictable. Bryce's 385 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: he's done this before. He's been very frank with his 386 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: observations about the state of the team before. In other 387 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: years we talked to you, crushed the farm system a 388 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: few years. He's made please for help before, so I 389 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: think he was very much in character, maybe a little 390 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: more firm, because you know, the man running the show. 391 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: Let's face it, he's ticked off at him for that 392 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: comment last October, so he's gonna back. But nonetheless, he 393 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: was being honest. They need help, and I appreciated Don's honesty, 394 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: and I thought his comments were predictable because what we've 395 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: gotten to know in the last three months, he's very 396 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: team oriented and you know, there's another piece of reality 397 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: here that can't be ignored. I mean, you know, his 398 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: son works under Dombrowski as the team's GM, so you 399 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: know he he you know he is management. He is 400 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: going to side with management. Is also a personal element here. 401 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: I don't think he said anything wrong. I don't think 402 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: Bryce said anything wrong. And I think winning cures everything. 403 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: You down there and he sweep the Orioles and this 404 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: stuff is so far under the rug trade deadline, move on, 405 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: get hot. 406 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 3: I agree, if you start winning, this will be a 407 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 3: cool little dad W's yeah, get. 408 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: Some ws going. 409 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 3: You're right, if you start winning, Jim, this is a 410 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: cool little, you know, a little dramatic moment right before 411 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: the trade deadline, a team on the brink. Bryce sounds off, 412 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 3: manningly sounds off Bryce versus Dave Dombrowski. All of that. 413 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 2: You know, I'd be. 414 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 3: Curious that we didn't have any time after Don talked 415 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: on Wednesday to maybe talked to some of his teammates 416 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 3: about it, about Bryce's comment. 417 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: They feel, I'm telling you what I'm going to tell 418 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: you how the teammates feel. The big dogs in that 419 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: clubhouse agree, right, they want to help. 420 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 4: Of course, everybody knows it. Everybody on the planet knows 421 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 4: that the team needs help. It didn't necessarily need to 422 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 4: be set. Everybody knows that the team needs help. 423 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: It didn't need to be said because it didn't need 424 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: to be said, because the guy pulling the strings knows it. 425 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: Dave Dobrowski knows it. John Middleton knows it. Don Manley 426 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: knows it. They all know it. They're trying to do something. 427 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: But the guy was still honest. He responded to questions 428 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: and I can't rip him for that, and you can't 429 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: rip him for that either, Todd, because we were standing 430 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: there asking the questions. And as a reporter, you have 431 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: to appreciate honesty. I do. 432 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 3: It is refreshing to have some honest answers instead of 433 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 3: they can respond, Gollie. 434 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: G we stayed within ourselves. Tonight, get him again tomorrow, boys. 435 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 2: Exactly right. 436 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 3: If we don't make another trade, you know, like, what 437 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 3: if what's honestly in an alternate universe, what if we 438 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 3: would have asked Bryce about the tradeline deadline and you 439 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 3: would have said, well, guys, if we don't make another move, 440 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 3: I have every belief that this team is good enough 441 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 3: to run through the national League and win a World Series. 442 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: We'd be like, you are full of wick. 443 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: Just ignore the fact that we have the worst outfield 444 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: ops in the history of the franchise. 445 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 2: Exactly right. 446 00:23:59,400 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: All right. 447 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: So we talked about Bryce, we talked about Don manningly, 448 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 3: we talked about Dave Nebraski. But we've got to uh 449 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 3: talk about the trade deadline before we go, and it 450 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: is time to unleash the beast.

I I like 476 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 3: Taylor Ward. I think Jim you were kind of lukewarm 477 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: on him. We were talking about him the other day 478 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: in the press box. I just like the fact he's 479 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: got like a three ninety on base percentage and you 480 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 3: could put him somewhere in the lineup. Maybe, you know, 481 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 3: just give you a puncher's chance and maybe string together 482 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 3: a couple. 483 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: Of Baron Bold Byron. The Twins. 484 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: I don't think they're selling now.

The Royals with Lugo or Waka and Thomas, 494 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: the Angels with Soriano uh Des and Adele the outfielder. 495 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: The Blue Jays, as I mentioned, the Reds were one 496 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: stop shopping. They have the reliever I mentioned was Blake, 497 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: and then they have Singer and they had Steer but 498 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: he got hurt. Yeah, Phillies really likes Steer. I like 499 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: Steer too, because all of a sudden, now he's in 500 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: that mix next year for what you're gonna do at 501 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: third base maybe part of the piece of the puzzle. 502 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: And this zach Netto stuff is very very interesting to me. 503 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: It feels like to me that mose Lac has jumped 504 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: in there and made him available kind of you know, 505 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: you chum the water and you see what you can 506 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: get for a guy like that. And I commend the 507 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: Phillies for showing interest because I feel like it might 508 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: be more for next year, like kind of getting the 509 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: lay of the land for this winter, because they're gonna 510 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: have to address some issues in that infield. As we 511 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: all know. 512 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 4: Do you think that there's a possible, real possibility that 513 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 4: they get. 514 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: Zach NetTel and move Turner to the outfield. 515 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: I think there'd be a possibility, maybe more. 516 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: I mean, that would be really bold. That would be bold, 517 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: That would be the right thing to do. I think I. 518 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: Feel like they felt obligated to jump into it when 519 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: his name pops out there, because they're gonna be in 520 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: flux in the infield next year. If it could lead 521 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: to something this year, I think, yeah, you look at 522 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: it seriously. I don't know if they have enough to 523 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: get it, but if you can get him in a picture, 524 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: you have to. Really I just don't know if they 525 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: have enough prospects to get that package. But I mean, 526 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: he's a scrappy player. He's got some pop, but you know, 527 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: he strikes out a lot, he makes errors. He's got 528 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: he leads the America leaguing errors. But I do love 529 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: the the edge with that he plays with. He's got 530 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: a little he's a he's a tough Miami kid. But 531 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: it's just an interesting. 532 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 4: The intrigue of that is do they move do they 533 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 4: move a guy like Bryson stock form and do they 534 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 4: flip flop a righty for a left handed bat, or 535 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 4: a left handed back for a right handed bat in netto, 536 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 4: and they change up the dynamic of the club. I mean, 537 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 4: I don't know if that necessarily makes them better. I 538 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 4: don't particularly like. 539 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 2: Robbing Peter to pay Paul. You like to add instead 540 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 2: of subtract. 541 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 4: But I mean that does open up a lot of possibilities, 542 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 4: and that will ends up playing second base for now, 543 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 4: shortstop for later. 544 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 545 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I feel it feels like they're gathering 546 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: intel for down the road. But if it leads to 547 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: some interesting discussions in the now, you got to have them. 548 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: Right Well, let's. 549 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: Let's pretend that they can get down to the finish 550 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 3: line with that, and that would be an easier sell 551 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 3: to for Trey Turner in that moment, right like final 552 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 3: two months of the season. 553 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about right now this season, don't 554 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: think so, you. 555 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 3: Don't think, okay, so you wouldn't move them out there. 556 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: It would be a discussion you'd have to have beforehand. 557 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 4: You would have to have a discussion with him beforehand, 558 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 4: because especially if he's been promised to play that position, 559 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously he has not faredwell that position this year, 560 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 4: and and and doesn't have a necessarily a stronghold on it. 561 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 4: But he is their shortstop and he was signed to 562 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 4: be their shortstop. 563 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: But it's their team. If they feel like they need 564 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: to make an adjustment, he's the employee. Sorry, absolutely, I 565 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: agree with that. 566 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that, but I. 567 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: Just feel like it's a it's a heavy lift that 568 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: might be better addressed in the offseason. And I think 569 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: it will be addressed in the off season whether or 570 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 1: not they pull the trigger on it. But it's going 571 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 1: to be addressed. It has to be addressed. But if 572 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: they decide to address it now, I don't have any 573 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: qualms with it because you know what we've seen. Uh certainly, certainly, 574 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: I think warrants that type of you're trying to improve 575 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: the team, right, well, you do two things. 576 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 4: You make yourself better better in the infield, you get 577 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 4: another right handed bat, and you make yourself better in 578 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 4: the outfield. 579 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,719 Speaker 3: Correct that would be That would be something big, that 580 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 3: would really Joel I think provide a jolt to this team. 581 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: No question. 582 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 3: It would be a big jolt, and they kind of 583 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 3: shocked they. 584 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 4: Needed There's no question if the jolt's not coming from within, 585 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 4: then the jolt has to come from. 586 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: Without, right. 587 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: I think that would be a good message. You know, 588 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: we've talked before about the message a big trade can 589 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 3: do with the deadline. I think that would be a 590 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 3: good one that this team could need, that could use 591 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 3: do something like that. Yeah, that would be like. 592 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: Nobody nobody's immune. Don't be too comfortable. 593 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,719 Speaker 4: Is there a possibility to get a guy like Christian 594 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 4: Walker from Houston and they move Bryce Harper and asked 595 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 4: Bryce Harper to move. He said he'd move for like, 596 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 4: I mean, he's got his outfielders glove. 597 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: I mean if you said, yeah, Houston, Houston. See, everybody 598 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: seems to think that they're you know, they're going to 599 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 3: be buyers. 600 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 4: And I'm just saying I'm just saying that I get it. 601 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 4: I'm just saying it may not be Christian Walker, might 602 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 4: be somebody else. Is there a first basement. 603 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,239 Speaker 3: Ty France from the Pods, But they're in it now too. 604 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 3: They're only a game and a half behind the Phillies. 605 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 4: That's the biggest problem with where Dave Dombrowski is right now. 606 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: The Phillies have allowed everybody in. 607 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 4: Everybody's now in. They put themselves in this position, and 608 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 4: now the difficult task of what Dave Dombrowski has to 609 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 4: do becomes even more difficult because they let everybody in. 610 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: Yep, they played Bob Barker, come on down, that's right. 611 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 3: The podres as of we're recording this on Thursday night 612 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 3: or game and a half out of the wildcard Phillies 613 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 3: are tied with the Diamondbacks for that second and third spot. 614 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 3: Pirates are two behind the Phillies, Marlins two behind, the 615 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 3: Nationals are two behind, the Cardinals are three behind. 616 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 4: So all these a lot of different reasons. For different reasons, 617 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 4: these teams have to stay in it. Some for the 618 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 4: fan base, some because their payrolls are gigantic. Some you know, 619 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 4: there's a lot of different reasons why they're in different cycles. 620 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 2: But it's hard. 621 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,719 Speaker 4: You know, if you're in the wildcard race and people 622 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 4: know that you can have success and winning World Series 623 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 4: being a wildcard uh entry, then fans are gonna want 624 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 4: you to get in and buy and be buyers not sellers. 625 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: So it will be interesting to see the moves that 626 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 2: are or are not made during the course of these 627 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 2: next three days. 628 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun to say it's gonna be fun 629 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 3: to see. 630 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: What hold quick prediction? 631 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 3: Oh wait, hold on, let me let me go back, 632 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 3: Let me go back and hit the button too quick, 633 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 3: go for it.
