Trey Turner 5 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: left Sunday Series finale in Miami in the seventh inning 6 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: with a strained left hamstring. He will have an MRI 7 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: on Monday in Philadelphia. And we mentioned this because the 8 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: it's Trey Turner. Because the NL Wildcard Series is twenty 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: two days away. The Al Division Series is twenty six 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: days away. It's time for the park's first pitch. First 11 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: pitch is brought to us exclusively by our partners at 12 00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. Rubin looking sharp today. 13 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: Trey Turner strained right hamstring seventh inning. Immediately leaves a game. 14 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean he just ran down the first baseline, immediately 15 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: goes in the dugout. No hesitation, no like, let me 16 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: stretch it out, nothing, MRI exam on Monday. Guys. I'm 17 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: no doctor, but this is not good news. This is 18 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: bad news, potentially bad news. For the Phillies, depending on 19 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: how long tray turner, how much time tray turner misses. 20 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: What do you guys think, Do you have any hunches? 21 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: Do you have any sense of anything? 22 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: Reuben, I'll just tell you, I'm hopeful that it's just 23 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: a grabbing. You know, he talked about it just being grabbing, 24 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: and you hope it's just tweaked, and you're hoping it's 25 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 2: you know, it's a couple of weeks and he can 26 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: get loose and get ready to go. Even so, regardless 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: of whether it's two weeks or four weeks, if he 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: comes back earlier, he has been in such a great rhythm. 29 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: The fact that you may not get the scene sort 30 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: of player when he comes back, because number one, that 31 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: speed factor may be a real issue. May not be 32 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: able to, you know, run the bases the way he 33 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: has been running them. He may not have the same 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 2: rhythm at the plate that he's had because he's been phenomenal. 35 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: He's playing at an MVP type level right now, and 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: everything about this is not good. I'm not trying to 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: go bloom and doom, but the reality of is this 38 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 2: the man's hurt and it's you know, you're hopeful that 39 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: he comes back and plays, but he's been playing on 40 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: levels defensively and offensively so high that it's going to 41 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: be a big boat to the team, much like it 42 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: was a big blow when they lost Zach Wheeler. But 43 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: that doesn't mean the team can't be resilient and bounced back, 44 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: and they have some some quality players to be able 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: to fill in, you know, fill in the gaps there. 46 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: Particularly Edmundo Soso is an outstanding shortstop himself, and they're 47 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: gonna have to rely on, you know, again, more than 48 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: twenty five, more than twenty six players to to be 49 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: you know, a champion, and hopefully he'll be back soon 50 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: enough so they can get back into rhythm and played 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: the baseball. 52 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, another big test for this team. 53 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 4: I mean they lost, As Rubin mentioned, Zach Wheeler was 54 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: going to be a top three finisher in the cy 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 4: Young Now you're losing a guy who was probably going 56 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: to be a top eight guy in the MVP balloting. 57 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 4: Very very significant losses. The thing that really concerns me 58 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 4: is even before we hear the severity of it, when 59 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 4: he came back from a similar injury last year, which 60 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 4: was a grade too, So we don't know what the 61 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 4: grade is on this strain, but came back from a 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 4: strain last year and just wasn't the same guy. 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: Never looked like he was full throttle the rest of 64 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: the way. Always looked like he didn't trust it. 65 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: And you know that's a problem for a legs player, 66 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 4: even if he's deemed healthy enough to play, does he 67 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: feel confident and comfortable enough letting it all out at 68 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: a time of year when you have to let it 69 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: all out, coming down and stretch here as October comes. 70 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 4: So team he showed remarkable resilience in the last few 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 4: years with the guys. They've lost Wheeler, Harper, Romuto for stretches, 72 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: Turner for a stretch, Schwarmer for a stretch, and always 73 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 4: seemed to play through it. But I do, and I 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 4: do believe in the next man up thing, and it's 75 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 4: a nice thing to say, but I think it has limits. 76 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 4: And this is a big test now, losing Wheeler and Turner. 77 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: I think the thing you have to hope for is 78 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: it's just not too severe and then he can come 79 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: back quickly and get it back, get everything back, get 80 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 4: his sharpness back, and his confidence in being aggressive on 81 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: those legs. 82 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 3: Before the month of October. 83 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: When I was watching Turner talk yesterday, Rubin, you mentioned 84 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: he felt a quote grabbing, and Jim, I immediately thought 85 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: of you, because you've asked this question a million times. 86 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: You always ask to these players when something like this happens. 87 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: Did you feel a pop? Did you feel a pop? 88 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: You always asked that question. I feel like he said grabbing. 89 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: He said he didn't fill a pop. 90 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 3: Because I've been there. 91 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: You did you blew out once, right, and it popped? Yeah, 92 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: it popped. 93 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: And you know, these guys are pro athletes, and they're 94 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 4: a lot they're you know, a lot more acceleration. 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 3: They're gonna have a more severe pop. 96 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: Right, So maybe maybe this is on the more minor side, 97 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: the fact that it grabbed, it didn't pop. But of 98 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: course we'll find out what the mri. 99 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: Jim. 100 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned the injury last year to Turner. He missed 101 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: forty spent forty three days on the injured list last 102 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: season from May fourth the June sixteenth, strained left hamstring. 103 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: And yeah, when he came back, he wasn't running full speed. 104 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: Rob was keeping him off his feet a lot. There 105 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 1: was some days that he didn't play there. I remember 106 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: there was a game, and I think it was in 107 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: Seattle where Schwarber was on base late maybe in the 108 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: ninth inning, Turner was on the bench. Turner did not 109 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: pinch running that game, just kind of protect him, keep 110 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: him off his feet. So yeah, you you you have 111 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: to absolutely worry about that stuff. So I'm gonna ask 112 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: you guys, this agreement, ed Mundo sos is the shortstop. 113 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: Bryson stop becomes the everyday second basement. They had this 114 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: really great platoon going in second base. That's how it's 115 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: going to go. You don't see any other way that 116 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: this thing works out. Over the next few weeks, however much, 117 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: however much time Trey missing. 118 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 4: I see that bigger questions aboutting Water right. 119 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: Rubin, Yeah, I think Sharper jumps to the top of 120 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: the lineup. I think that that's that's the the easiest 121 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: smoothest move for the for them, and you may end 122 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: up having, depending on whether it's a right hander or 123 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: left handed starter, you may have Harper go in the 124 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: want two hole, believe it or not. If there is 125 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: a right handed starter, you might have a right hander 126 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: who slides in there. Maybe it's Boem, Perhaps it's Boem, 127 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 2: and then Harper but you know, there's a domino effect 128 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: to this. There's you know, it's not just about you know, 129 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: losing Trey Turner, who's a tremendous talent. It's about now 130 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: putting the heat on and the pressure on lineup. Now, 131 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: is it more ready to handle this? I believe that 132 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: it is because of the production of some of the 133 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: guys in the bottom of the lineup, because of the 134 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: because Bryce and Start's been swinging the bat well from 135 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: against you know, lefties and rightings as of late, and uh, 136 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: you know, it's just gonna put a little bit more 137 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: of a test on the boys. 138 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: And that was first pitch. 139 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: It's presented exclusively by our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's 140 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: number one casino.

He came 175 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: back from being in Lehigh Valley. He had an unbelievable 176 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: quote after one of the games when I was well, 177 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: I was broadcasting over the weekend and he talked a lot. 178 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: We It was a great question from uh from Scott 179 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 2: Franski who asked him, and we talked about you know what, 180 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: I asked him what approach and what does he change 181 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: in his approach? What has happened? And he just talked about, 182 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: you know, being more confident in the box, you're more athletic. 183 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: You know, it's sort of the standard answers. And he 184 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: said that, you know, he also talked to some people 185 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 2: about just you know, the mental part of the game, 186 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: motion part of the game. And then Franski asked him, hey, 187 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: uh so who was those who were those people? And 188 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: he came up with Garrett's and it was a really 189 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: cool moment. Aaron Stubbs is one of the guys that 190 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 2: is not just an emotional leader. He understands the game. 191 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: There's all types of things. He also understands the player 192 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: and the person and some of the discussions he had 193 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: down there with him apparently helped him a lot. And 194 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: from that point on, this man has been outstanding and 195 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: he's hit over three hundred. I don't know what his 196 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 2: ops is. I wish I had the numbers in front 197 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 2: of me. I don't, but all I know is right 198 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: now he is swinging the bat with authority from the 199 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: left side against right he's and lefties. He's confident, he's 200 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: driving the ball the opposite way. He's doing the things 201 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: exactly what we thought. I think Dombrowski thought and what 202 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: the organization thought he would be when they traded Logan 203 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: Ohappy for him, and he's being that guy. He's I 204 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: think the fact that also sounds weird because I think 205 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: it's the same for Kepler that he's playing more left field, 206 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: that is, like more of his position. He's more comfortable 207 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: out there. I think the possibility of being in center 208 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: field is a little it's a lot for him, and 209 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: he has to work at that position a little bit 210 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: more he's feeling more comfortable and left. He is playing 211 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: some center from time to time, but that's okay. And 212 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: I just think his overall game, he's feeling confident about 213 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: himself and just doing his thing because he's a very 214 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: good athlete and he's letting himself be athletic. He is 215 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: the best the Manco Manco Best of the week for me. 216 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 4: That's a great choice. Great choice, and you make so 217 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: many good points. Number one Garrett Stubbs. I mean he's 218 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 4: a contributor. He wasn't here all yet, but he's a 219 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 4: contributor in so many ways. He's got such a good 220 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 4: head on his shoulders, such a good attitude. I don't 221 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 4: know where his future is when he's done playing way 222 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 4: down the road. I don't know if it's in the 223 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: broadcast booth or in player development, but it will be 224 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: somewhere and he will have an impact. And that anecdote 225 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 4: about helping marsh is a great one. And it takes 226 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 4: time to it takes time to judge trades. You're right 227 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 4: about it takes time to judge trades. This trade is 228 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 4: now looking bad at and that's a sire relief for 229 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 4: everybody who scouted the guy who wanted Marsh, you got 230 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: a player, you got a contributor. 231 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 3: It looks good. What were you gonna say, Rubin? 232 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, I think Garrett Stub's got 233 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: a chance. And I think that you would if you 234 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: would poke the manager right now. He's got a really 235 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 2: good chance to be a major league manager at some point. 236 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna do He's gonna do something in the game. 237 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 4: He's he's smart, he's instinctive, excellent communicator, he's got and 238 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 4: he's a really really good person personality. He's a solid, 239 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 4: solid guy. So we're we're all in agreement on that. 240 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 4: But Marsh a great selection. 241 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: My selection. 242 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 4: I'm going to go out of the box a little 243 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: bit sometimes I like to do, and I'm gonna give 244 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 4: a slice of the Manco Manco Best of the Week 245 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 4: to Aiden Miller. What a second half he had at 246 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 4: Reading Double A Reading. And he's still one of the 247 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 4: youngest players in that league, like two years younger than 248 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 4: the average age, and I love that every year he 249 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 4: gets stronger as the season goes on. As a twenty 250 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: one year old in Double a's played the good shorts up. 251 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 4: He's over eight hundred ops and he's stolen fifty three bases, 252 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 4: fifty three bases, just learned a promotion to Triple A. 253 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 4: He's going to finish out in Triple A. And I 254 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 4: just think he's had a hell of a season and 255 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 4: hell of the two seasons here for the Phillies, and 256 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 4: all of a sudden now with him in Crawford. You know, 257 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: it's hard to get your own position players to the 258 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 4: big leagues. And they got two guys whos gonna be 259 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 4: knocking on the door here in a real hurry next 260 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 4: year in Aiden Miller and Crawford. So he'd beat my 261 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 4: Manco and Manco best of the week. He's having a 262 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 4: great finish up there, and he's going to finish in Lehigh. 263 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: Which post is the question? Does he come to the 264 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 2: big league now that now that the other guy's down? 265 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: Adam brought that up. I do not know. I know 266 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 2: it's a question that people are going to have. I've 267 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: gotten on social media. He has been spectacular. I know 268 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: Larry Ball believes him in as a shortstop. He's developed 269 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: and leaps him downs. He's a really young player, but 270 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: he's playing his best baseball right now. Do you bring 271 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: this guy to the big ones? And make him the 272 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 2: everyday shortstop with the protection of Avenue Sosa there, or 273 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: do you just chill and you bring up you know, 274 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: you bring up out okay, or you bring up you know, 275 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: a speed guy in Johann Rojas. I'm not sure it's 276 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: quite the decision. It's a good problem to have, and 277 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: uh and I'm really fascinated to see what happens in 278 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: the next call Aiden Miller. 279 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: His last twenty eight games, he's batting three fifty eight, 280 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: four seventy eight on base percentage, six thirty three slugging percentage. 281 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's something. I'm glad you brought it up. 282 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 4: He is. 283 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably think that it won't happen, but I 284 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: don't know. It's it's the fact that we're even asking 285 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: that question tells us kind of how much he's progressed, 286 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: and it says that Jim made an excellent call. 287 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: Now I feel like it's a total, a total long shot. 288 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: I'd kind of very reluctant to throw him into that cauldron. 289 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 4: But you know, Rubin, these are the decisions you had 290 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 4: to make not long ago. 291 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: What would you do in this one? 292 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: I would have to know the makeup of the kid, 293 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: A little bit better. I think he's a gamer. I 294 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: don't think he'd scare. It was a little bit like 295 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: bringing Kevin Stalker to the big leagues. Now he was 296 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: in Triple A, and he was more of a glove, 297 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: more of a very very advanced glove. They had Ukwan 298 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: Bell or somebody playing shortstop, and even Mariano Duncan. They 299 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: knew they couldn't have him play shortstop when they came 300 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: up in ninety three. Kenicker was a. 301 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 7: College kid, a little obviously a little different situation, but 302 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 7: they did bring a young man to the big leagues 303 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 7: when he started to get hot a little bit in 304 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 7: Lee High. 305 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 2: Was that what we have Alix Scranton. Because I was his teammate, 306 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: I watched him start to progress. First half, he had 307 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: a terrible first half, and Kevin Stocker will tell you 308 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: this offensively. I mean he didn't. He was beside him. 309 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: We had I've talked to him a lot about it. 310 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: And then in the second half he played really well. 311 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden he was in the 312 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: big leagues for the nineteen ninety three team and making 313 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 2: plays and hitting three hundred. I don't know. To me, 314 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: it's whether or not they feel that he can make 315 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: the routine play and make the adjustments at the major 316 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: league level at the position. It's not necessarily about his offense. 317 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: It's at the position. It will be interesting to see 318 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: how they feel about this development. It's it's a great 319 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: problem to have. You love the fact that it's a 320 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: great call on your Maco to Maco best of a week. 321 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: Well, you know what, you know. Another reason why I 322 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: would consider it is the second base platoon of Sosa 323 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: and Stott has been so good. You bring if they 324 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: would do it again. We all seem to think it's 325 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: a long shot, but you would. I bring him up. 326 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: I hit him ninth. I say, listen, just go out 327 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: and catch the ball. Don't worry about your offense. We 328 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: got eight studs and hit in front of you. Just 329 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: go out and catch the ball, contribute offensively. 330 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: Great. 331 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: We just needed to go out and catch the ball. 332 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: Because you know Stott has been he's been much improved. 333 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: His righty lefty splits are pronounced pronounced seven forty five 334 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: ops against righty's, five thirty against lefties. Same exact thing 335 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: for Edmundo Sosa eight eighty six ops versus lefties five 336 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: ninety one ops. Versus Righty's I would love to keep 337 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: that platoon together. It doesn't look like it's gonna happen, 338 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: but there you go something to think about. So my 339 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: Manco Manco best week are the folks behind the scenes 340 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: on the Phillies and the Marlins who helped right a 341 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: wrong with that fan that that boy in the stands 342 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: on Saturday night in Miami, Harrison got Harrison Bader, brought 343 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: him down and outside the Phillies clubouse, Harrison Bader autographed 344 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: a bat for the kid on his birthday. So we all, 345 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's been talked about that in depth, but 346 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: sometimes you got to give a shout out to the 347 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: people behind this who make these things happen. And I 348 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: thought that was a really cool moment for that fan. 349 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 2: And so. 350 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Harrison Bader, you know, being involved in that. 351 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: Of course signing that bat was great, but I. 352 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 4: Also was also swinging it pretty darn good. 353 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: Well and that so I wanted to ask this as well, 354 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: kind of dovetailing off that rubin. You said, if Turner 355 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: miss his time, you can see Schwarber hitting lead off, 356 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: and I don't disagree with you, but I'm wondering what 357 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: about this. What about against a right handed pitcher, you 358 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: have Bryce and Stott hit leadoff, keep Schwarber where he is, 359 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: everybody Harper where he is, and then against lefties you 360 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: have Harrison Bader lead off. Now, Harrison Bater has not 361 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: let off. Harrison Bader has. He has led off in 362 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: his career fourteen times in his entire career. He's a 363 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: bottom third guy mostly in his career. But but he 364 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: has a three three eighty on base percentage since he 365 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: has joined the Phillies. I believe I'm right on that 366 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: Harrison Bader, he hasn't a lot of let off a 367 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: lot in his career. But point being, what about that 368 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: idea having Bader hit leadoff? 369 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: It would work? Right? Maybe I think it's a great idea. 370 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: I think it's a terrific idea and it lines everybody 371 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 2: back up the guys, I think. I think it's terrific, 372 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: and I think that you're gonna get the you know, 373 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: Topper is going to think outside the box. I got 374 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: to give them a lot of love to Topper for 375 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: making the adjustment and actually going with the platoon in 376 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: right field. He doesn't want to call it a platoon. 377 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 2: They want to call it a rotation, and I want 378 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: to talk about that as well. It's because and I 379 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: wanted to talk about this as an honorable mention as well, 380 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 2: great great idea Todd regarding Bader and the people that 381 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 2: were involved in that whole situation, the traveling party for 382 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 2: the Phillies and all as a caveat Miami Marlins folks 383 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: to take care of that kid as well, that was big. 384 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: I know it was a tough situation for a lot 385 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 2: of people, but they I think they write it or 386 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: wrong there in a lot of ways. But but I 387 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: love the fact that that Topper's done what he's done 388 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: as well. I mean it's sort of a side topic, 389 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: but he is now said, hey, listen, we got to 390 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: put the best players out there. We got to figure 391 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: out a way to get that done. And they and 392 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: those outfielders are producing Kepler, Bader and uh and Marsh 393 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 2: and I got to get a lot of love to 394 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: Topper for having the cojones to make that move at 395 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: this particular time. And d he's done with the Nick 396 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: Cassiano's situation. 397 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, you called it a side topic, group and I 398 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 4: would call it a major topic. 399 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 2: Is a bit well, yeah, I mean they're. 400 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: Getting production out of that outfield now. 401 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: And you know, hey, Max Kepper was you know, they 402 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 4: were greasing the skids for him to leave town at 403 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 4: the UH, at the trade deadline, and his managing of 404 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 4: Rob's managing of personalities and people, Kepler has, you know, 405 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 4: stayed on the roster, and he's giving you some really 406 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 4: good contributions and. 407 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: Maybe one of the best quotes of the year. He 408 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: had one of the best answers to a question at 409 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 2: poach game and I told him and I put tapped 410 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: them on the shoulder when we were back in the 411 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 2: hotel lobby. I said, that was the best answer I've 412 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: ever seen or heard from any player who was the 413 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: most honest. It was the coolest the fact that they 414 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: had gathered together and talked about this difficult situation very honest. 415 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 2: He said, he struggled to be in a platoon player, 416 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: which is a tough thing to do after being a 417 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: ten year everyday player and now put in this position 418 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 2: to be a platoon guy. It's an adjustment mentally, emotionally, physically, 419 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: all of it. Preparing the whole nine yards and for 420 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: them to have gotten together as a group, and in 421 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: some ways he probably may have made it happen to 422 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 2: have been discussed this and try to move forward with 423 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 2: one goal in mind to hoist the trophy. That's a 424 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 2: really really immature thing I noticed. Rano Manco Best is 425 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 2: a long one, but it's important that we bring up 426 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: some of the some of the best things that happen 427 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: over the course of this week. 428 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 4: And that was the that's the right word you said, 429 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 4: the right word mature. He shows maturity in the way 430 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 4: he handles adversity. He's shown it all year, even when 431 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 4: he was booed, he showed a lot of maturity and 432 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 4: saying that's the fans language of love. The guy's intelligent 433 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 4: and he's mature, and you know, I know that the 434 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 4: year hasn't gone the way he wanted to, but he's 435 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 4: having his moments, so he should be proud of that. 436 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: How you start, how you finish, baby, And he got 437 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: you got in the Winter World Series as a platoon 438 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: player in right field for the Phillies again to get 439 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: paid next year. So if you if you're thinking about 440 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: that as well, h great. That was a great great 441 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: Manco Manco Best week.

That's the pitching matchup. 509 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, guys, the Phillies woke up 510 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: with a seven game lead in the National League East. 511 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: The Mets clean their clocks in City Field, whittled it 512 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: down to four. Everybody's freaking out. But this morning they 513 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: wake up with a seven game lead in the National League. 514 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: So it's amazing. The Phillies can really kind of bury 515 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: the Mets and just end any minute chance they have 516 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: to coming back and win in this vision, with just 517 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: even just a split this week would take care of it. 518 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Phillies, Mets and the Redemption Series? 519 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: Not of intrigue, man, because they've lost Turner. They don't 520 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: have Wheeler. It's gonna be really interesting. I'd like to 521 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 2: see the Phillies kind of flip that mojo a little bit. 522 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 2: It's obvious that the Mets are very confident about how 523 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 2: they play the Phillies and when they play them. But 524 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 2: the starting pitching has been really good for the Phillies, 525 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 2: and uh, you know, uh, they're gonna have to make 526 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: some adjustments. The question is is Aiden Miller could be 527 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: hitting in a nine hole when the when the series starts, 528 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: or are you gonna have they're hitting in the ninth 529 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 2: hole and playing short stuff. That's the question. 530 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 3: All I think. I think the general manager has made 531 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: his decision. 532 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 2: It's kind of cool. I love it. 533 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 4: So Todd, you said that the Phillies bury the Mets. 534 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 4: The Mets have buried themselves. They have that great sweep 535 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 4: of the Phillies and then they, you know, five hundred 536 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 4: in the next two weeks, and then the Phillies are 537 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 4: significantly over five hundred. Hunh right, they don't they don't 538 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 4: they they don'inate. 539 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: The Phillies are seven to three since that sweep. 540 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 3: And one of the Mets. 541 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right now. 542 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: The Phillies are seven three since since that sweep, and 543 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: the Mets I think are four and six. So yeah, 544 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: so there you have problems, man, that's true. Code Sega 545 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: got optioned to triple A. He's struggled so much. Ryan Helsley. 546 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: Ryan Helsley, who is their big one of their big 547 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: trade deadline acquisitions, he has been terrible since the trade. 548 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: He's got an e Array his last ten appearances over sixteen. 549 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: Can you imagine. I mean, yeah, all the Mets got 550 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: Juan Duran and the Phillies got I'm not who knows 551 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: what would have happened if Hellsley came to the Phillies instead, 552 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: But boy, that's that that those trades. That trade has 553 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: really worked out well for the Phillies. But you're right, 554 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: get right, the Mets have kind of buried themselves. 555 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they had in their sights. I believe that the 556 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: Phillies win one game out of four and there in 557 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 2: good shit, when you think about it, they win one game, 558 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 2: they come out of their their games. 559 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 4: Up and they've played the Mets better in Citizens Bank 560 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 4: Park than they have a City Fields. So you know, 561 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 4: I was kind of on the same thought process. It's 562 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 4: a four game series. It's tough to win a four 563 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 4: game series. I'll take I'll take two and good night. 564 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 3: You know. 565 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: The more important thing about the series is not necessarily 566 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 2: the playing the Mets. It's about Aaron Nola. Aaron Nola 567 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: is the biggest question mark that they have it because 568 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: they're playing in the playoffs, They're making the playoffs. It's happening, 569 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: and can they rely on a right hander in the 570 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 2: in their rotation. Can they ly on somebody from the 571 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 2: right side right now? I'm not sure Walker Buehler can 572 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 2: be that guy. He might be able to get a 573 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 2: couple outs. I don't know. They're working on that. He's 574 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: gonna get a chance to pitch her soon. 575 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: There. 576 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: I don't think they can rely on on Taiwan Walker 577 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: and can they rely And the guy that has to 578 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: sort of step up is Aaron Nola And we will 579 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 2: find out a lot about him here to see. 580 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 4: It's an intriguing pitching matchup tonight. I mean that that 581 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 4: that young guy they faced, he blew him away last time. 582 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 4: And I mean the way he cuts it, he sinks it. 583 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 4: And then when he feels like he's ninety six. 584 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 3: Up on his own, he's amazing. 585 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 4: And and Nola is he's got a pitch. 586 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: Well, you're right, no doubt, he's very very good. That 587 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: was a lot of fun, guys. Yeah, he's got a pitch. Well, 588 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: they it's super super important for for so many different reasons. Guys. 589 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun. We will be back 590 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: later this week to talk more Phillies Mets Smilli lad Boys, 591 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: The Philly Show is brought to you by the Foul 592 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: Territory Network.
