It's Monday, April fourteenth, twenty 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 3: twenty five. The Phillies, guys, they lose two out of 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 3: three in Saint Louis. They lost two out of three 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 3: last week in Atlanta, two and four. 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: Road trip. 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: Not great, not good. A lot of a lot of 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 3: issues have popped up on No Boy, No boyin Oh 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 3: No Bueno road trip. Offense gets shut out on Friday Night, 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: gets shut out Sunday seven to nothing loss. You know, 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: Brandon marsh is in it. Alec bowm is in it. 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 3: You know, the whole offense is really in it not producing. 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 3: I looked up this up after the game, so you guys, 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 3: look like this will kind of put everything in perspective 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 3: because you look at runs scored right now, nobody's played 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: the same amount of games. Phillies this season are seventeenth 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 3: in baseball, averaging four point zero runs per game. Seventeenth, 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 3: that's bottom half. But since the first two games of 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 3: the season, they rank twenty fifth, averaging three point two 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: three runs per game. So they've been scuffling for a 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 3: few weeks now and it's really kind of catching up 24 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: with them. Rubin, you were working this weekend in studio, 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 3: you got to watch a lot of baseball, right, Yes. 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: I did. 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 3: Would you think. 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: It was not pretty? 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing that I see, well, it's 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 4: obviously I think there's a few guys pressing with the 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 4: big biggest thing that I see and I looked up 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 4: some of these numbers they were. 33 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: They are on the season. 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 4: Twenty six per one, twenty five with runners in scoring position. 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 4: That's a two zero eight batting average and it ranks 36 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 4: twenty fifth. I've seen some man on third less than 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 4: two outs futility. And it's not just one or two guys. 38 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 4: It's plenty of guys who are struggling and they're not 39 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 4: driving the runs and they're supposed to be driving in. 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 4: They're getting on base, they're on base percentages in top 41 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 4: what nine, top ten in baseball. They're getting some runners 42 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 4: on they're not driving them in, and they're not slugging them. 43 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 5: They're definitely gonna slug. 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: They're slugging down as well. 45 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 5: The two losses in Saint Louis three singles and three 46 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 5: singles in those two games, right, and a total of 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 5: over nine with runs in scoring positions. So didn't get 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 5: on base that much in those two games. 49 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 4: Not in those games, but they as a team, they've 50 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: been getting on base, and you know, there's a lot 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: of talk about them, you know, swing decisions, all this 52 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 4: other stuff, but you got to drive them in when 53 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: you got them on and they're not and they're certainly 54 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 4: not doing that. 55 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: It puts a lot of heat on the starting pitching. 56 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 4: You don't score runs and it's not like they're facing 57 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 4: like rate pitching. 58 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: Schwellenbach was really good. I got to give him that. 59 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 4: Beyond that, I mean, some other guys have pretty good stuff, 60 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 4: but you can't really blame it all on the quality 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 4: of the pitching. 62 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to come through. 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 4: And the boys have been scottling pretty much across the board, 64 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 4: and I think that'll change. I know we talk about 65 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 4: it being early. Was it to fourteen fifteen games in? 66 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: But they got to swing the best better? 67 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 5: Yeah they do, and you know you'll lose twice with 68 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 5: Wheeler on the mound. That just stings. I know he 69 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 5: wasn't great in Atlanta, but he was good enough on Sunday. 70 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 5: That game could have been a lot different if you 71 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 5: score him with some runs. But I just feel like 72 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 5: we every year we talk about the performance with runners 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 5: in scoring position, and then they'll have a bust out 74 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 5: game when they go like, you know, eight to thirteen 75 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 5: with runners and scoring position, and it feels better. But boy, 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 5: they can put together some real droughts with runners in 77 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 5: scoring position, and it's just, you know, it's sometimes it's 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 5: not how many hits you get, it's when you get him, 79 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 5: and you got to get him when the guy is 80 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 5: standing on second base, and they just boy, they struggled 81 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 5: to do it on this trip. 82 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't have a base runner. I think after 83 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 3: the third inning on Sunday, Yeah, I think Harper had 84 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: a single. They didn't get another guy in base the 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: rest of the game. But yeah, Ruben, you right, this 86 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: s plug is just has not been there Philly's overall 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: the season, they're eighteenth in baseball three seventy one slugging percentage. 88 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: So that means did. 89 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 5: They have a home run in Saint Louis? I don't 90 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 5: think they did. 91 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: No. 92 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 5: No home runs in Saint Louis. 93 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that pitting's just okay. It's not great. 94 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really not And you know liber Tour yesterday 95 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: was that threw well. But I mean, I just feel 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 4: like I feel like they're just not putting together enough 97 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: quality at bats and the lefties are struggling against some 98 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: of the lefties. 99 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 5: What did you make out of Rob saying he didn't 100 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 5: see a ton of energy on Sunday. I mean, this 101 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 5: is a guy who was seldom critical, and that's really 102 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 5: not critical, but it's a frank observation. Did you think 103 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 5: it was a product of you know, we know that 104 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 5: when you don't hit, you look like you have no energy. 105 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 5: Was it a product of that? What is it a 106 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 5: product of the late night and you know, not sleeping 107 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 5: on Thursday going into Friday coming out of Atlanta catching 108 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: up with him, was it just frustration? I mean, what 109 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 5: did you get out of that, Todd? 110 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, Rob kind of alluded to the fact that they 111 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: had that really late night on Thursdays, So who actually 112 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 3: said Friday and Saturday he kind of thought the energy 113 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 3: was lacking. He said he thought it was better on Sunday, 114 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: which is you know, again, they got shut out seven nothing. 115 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: They didn't have a base runner after the third inning, 116 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: so yeah, you're right, Jim. I always remember, I mean, 117 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: you guys know this. When the Phillies during the heyday 118 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 3: of seven to eleven, we're struggling offensively, we would ask 119 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: Charlie Bouman, you guys look dead out there if they're 120 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: in a slumpy say yeah, you always looked at it 121 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: if you don't have any runners on base and you're 122 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: not knocking in runs and guys aren't scoring. But he 123 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: seemed to indicate just overall, just like a not not 124 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 3: so much an offensive malaise, but just a general malaise. Uh. 125 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 3: This weekend so interesting, no doubt about it. 126 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: Well, I think part of it is also because there's 127 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: a whole lot of guys who aren't swinging the bats well, 128 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 4: and I think there's a little bit of woe is 129 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 4: Me going on. I think in the clubhouse with a 130 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 4: couple of guys and uh, you know, Boom and Marsh 131 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: and there those guys are been struggling. 132 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 2: Finally got a hit on what Saturday, Saturday. 133 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: After going you know, a long over, and uh, you 134 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 4: know even you know, even the big boys, I mean 135 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: they're having an occasional success, but not like consistent success 136 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: that's earners.

Earlier in that season 177 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: he was batting seventy four from April first to twenty third, 178 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. So it's been a while since a 179 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: guy has struggled like this. And afterwards, I mean, you 180 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 3: guys know Marsh, he's usually super upbeat, and he is 181 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: really feeling it right now, said, I'm just going through 182 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: it right now. I got to do anything it kind 183 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: of help this ball club win. And not doing it, 184 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 3: you know, you know, it stinks. I feel like I'm 185 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: letting my guys down. I need to be better for them. 186 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: I asked Rob after the game, what do you do 187 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: with him? Do you sit him for a few days? 188 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: Do you let him run through it? He says, I 189 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: don't know. I have to think about that. So what 190 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: would you guys do with Brandon Marsh? 191 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 5: It's he needs to I think he needs to watch 192 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 5: a little bit. You know, I'd even think of sending 193 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 5: them out. I mean, I think we've thought about that 194 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 5: in the second half oft times last year. These he 195 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 5: does have options left. He does not have a hit 196 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 5: in the month of April, right, correct, he does not 197 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 5: have a hit in the month of April. That is like, 198 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 5: you know, something T. S. Eliot would write about, because 199 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 5: April is the cruelest month, and it certainly is for 200 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 5: Brandon Marsh. You know, I don't know what the answer is, 201 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 5: but I certainly would think about some time in Triple 202 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 5: A if you feel like you can run with Rojas 203 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 5: for a while in center field. I don't know, it 204 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 5: might be early for Crawford, and then you get the 205 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 5: whole left right thing. I mean, Rinconas is swinging it, 206 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 5: but you really could use a right handed bat. I 207 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 5: mean today would have been a perfect case in point 208 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 5: to have a right handed bat and left field, and 209 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 5: you could have at Kepler and Marsh on Sunday in 210 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 5: Saint Louis if they had a right handed bat, well, 211 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: Wes Wilson, that would have been a perfect opportunity for him. 212 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 5: He's hurt, obviously, working his way back. That Otto camp 213 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 5: is interesting, but he's not an outfielder really. I think 214 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 5: he's played a couple innings over the years out there, 215 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 5: but you know, not having a right handed bat is 216 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 5: biting him. But more than that, just not having consistent 217 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 5: you know, a consistent bat period left or right out 218 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 5: there is hurting them in the case of Brandon Marsh. 219 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, the only one in the outfield who's really 220 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: having some success is at Sianos, and he's not necessarily 221 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 4: a guy who can carry the field and carry the team. 222 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: Listen, I've gone through it myself. 223 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 4: I've gone over twenty five in the middle of April 224 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 4: after a fast start in nineteen ninety two, and then 225 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 4: I went two for forty two. I mean twenty five 226 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 4: and two for forty two, And that's a bad feeling. 227 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: Now, I didn't strike out as much. 228 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 4: Probably only struck out like four times, and I was 229 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 4: hitting the bar at times to people and was just making. 230 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: Outs a lot of outs. And it is a terrible, 231 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: terrible feeling. 232 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 4: To go home every day knowing that you have not 233 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 4: helped your team in any way, shape or form. And 234 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 4: I was playing every day in center field, and I 235 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 4: was playing okay defensively, but I was not doing my 236 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: job offensively at. 237 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: The top of the at the top of the lineup. 238 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 4: And it's a bad feeling, especially with the a person 239 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 4: who's you know, was just talented as Brandon Marsh. He 240 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 4: really has the tools to be able to be a 241 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: really good player, and. 242 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 2: He's had success in the past. 243 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: And so this is going to weigh on you as 244 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 4: a human and it's difficult, and I think we talked 245 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 4: about it before. They just at some point you just 246 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 4: have to start having fun with the game. I know 247 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 4: it's more fun when you're getting hits and you're winning. 248 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: Just have to go out there and go play and 249 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 4: play with a little bit better energy, because it looks 250 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 4: like it's a little lethargic right now. 251 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: I don't see a whole lot of guys running balls out. 252 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: I see some three quarter speed stuff. 253 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 4: I see, you know, And I think that's one of 254 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 4: the reasons why Rob Thompson may have mentioned that. 255 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 2: But I got to pick up the energy. 256 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 4: And again, you have energy when you're scoring runs and 257 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 4: you were doing things offensively. 258 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 2: But I feel for Marshie because I've been there and 259 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: done it. But he's too talented a player to let that, 260 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: you know, affect him. And hopefully he can bounce back, 261 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: and you know, they do have options. 262 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 4: I don't think that Crawford's quite ready yet. I don't 263 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 4: gave Dombrowski's not afraid to bring a young kid to 264 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 4: the big Leags. And there's a lot of talk out there, 265 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 4: a lot of chatter out there about you know, Philly, 266 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 4: he's not making moves and this, that and the other. Well, 267 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: they'll make a move when a guy is ready. But 268 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 4: you can't put that guy in jeopard if he's not 269 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 4: ready to play in the big leags. That's that's not 270 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 4: fair to the player who's still developing. 271 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 5: But there are other guys you can consider if you 272 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 5: start moving pieces around, if you know you wanted to. 273 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 4: You know, he could use the breather you sitting down 274 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 4: and just relaxing and taking a day or two might 275 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: be a very good thing for him. 276 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 5: It might what at what point do you like, this 277 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 5: is a guy that was told, yeah, we're gonna give 278 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 5: you a chance to play more against lefties. At what 279 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 5: point do you say, okay, we gave you enough look 280 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 5: and now we have to do something here because like 281 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 5: you said, they look lethargic, which is mind blowing. On 282 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 5: April thirteenth, how you could look lethargic. It's not even 283 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 5: hot out season just started. You just you know, just 284 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 5: got going. But when you don't score, But at what 285 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 5: point does you know do you say, okay, we need 286 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 5: to maybe maybe it is a couple of days off 287 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 5: for I'm sure probably that would be the progression. A 288 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 5: couple of days off before you did anything. Maybe that'll 289 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 5: get them going. But sometimes you need to get people's 290 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 5: attention a little bit. 291 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: No, that's that's true too. There's no question about it. 292 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: It's a production. 293 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 4: I mean, you got to produce or you know, or 294 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: you don't stay in the big leagues, you don't play. 295 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 4: But you know, there that is a fine line. It's 296 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 4: a tough type rope to walk when you're topper. I 297 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 4: think it's exacerbated because the other guys aren't really swinging 298 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 4: the bats all that well. So now so the lightning 299 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 4: you know, lightning rods on Alec Bohm and Marsh and. 300 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: When those guys aren't, you know, doing their thing. 301 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 4: And there's a lot of talk about you know, Alec 302 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 4: Bohm in the offseason obviously, and there was and now 303 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 4: Marsh is getting the opportunity to stay in center field. 304 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 4: There was no real big moves other than adding Kepler 305 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 4: to the outfield there. You know, all these guys become 306 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 4: lightning rods and other guys were swinging the bats well, 307 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 4: and they were scoring some runs. The guys that they 308 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 4: should be counting on the one through six guys. Then 309 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 4: Marsh wouldn't be as you know, big Lightning Rode, I 310 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 4: don't think. But but again, these are much better players 311 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 4: in both cases, much better players than they've shown so far. 312 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: But they got to turn it up a. 313 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: Notch, yeah, Bryce said. Bryce said after the game, He's like, 314 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 3: I don't want to be hitting two fifty. And I said, well, 315 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: how do you think you've been swinging the bat? And 316 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 3: he says, I've been. I think I've been getting close. 317 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 3: He said, maybe like last week he talked with Kevin Lowney. 318 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: He said, I feel like I'm about seven or ten 319 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 3: days away from like really locking in. For whatever reason, 320 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: I'm not in Bryce's head, but he said about I 321 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: got about three days, three or four more days to go. 322 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 3: So he's like, I feel like I'm getting close. He 323 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: almost had a home run in the first inning on Monday. 324 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 3: On Sunday, but uh, you guys mentioned like roster makeup 325 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: right now and like Cody Clemens is the last guy 326 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: in the bench. He hit today. It was this third 327 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: at bat at all season. I think it was a 328 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 3: first at bat since March. Left handed hitter, there's no 329 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: spot for him to play. I wonder if you know, 330 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 3: Weston Wilson's just getting his legs under him. I wonder 331 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: if they kind of maybe accelerate that timeline in terms 332 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 3: of him coming up and maybe bring him up before 333 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: he's necessarily ready, just to give them a puncher's chance 334 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 3: in some of those spots. But you know, like this 335 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: was interesting today. I thought, so at Mundo Sosa starts 336 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: at second base. And before the game I asked Rob, 337 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: I said, okay, just why why Sosa at second as 338 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: opposed to left field? Because you said you were maybe 339 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 3: playing in left field and he's so to be honest 340 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: with you, I don't want to sound negative, but none 341 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 3: of those lefty bats right now, Kepler, Marsh, Stott or 342 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: hitting left handed pitching really well. So in my mind, 343 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: I'm going to go with the strongest defense with Wheeler 344 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 3: on the mound. So you know that you're going to 345 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: play Sosa because you want to play him somewhere. So 346 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 3: you play him at second Where's which is you know, 347 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 3: one of his better positions, I guess, and then you 348 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 3: go with Marsh and left and Rojas and center. So 349 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 3: it made a lot of sense. But it kind of 350 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 3: tells you where Rob's mind is right now, is like Keer's. 351 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: Kepler right now is hitting one fifty four against lefties, 352 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 3: two for thirteen, eight strikeouts. I'm sorry, that's that's Marsh. 353 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 3: Marsh's batting two for thirteen, one fifty four, three walks, 354 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 3: eight strikeouts, Kepler's betting two hundred and three for fifteen. 355 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: Scott is batting sixty three, one for sixteen. So you know, 356 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: they're not getting much of any production from any of 357 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: those guys that they thought. Remember going into the season, 358 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 3: a lot of it was we think Stock can play 359 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: every day. We really want to give Kepler some run 360 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 3: every day. We think Marsh can play every day. Well, 361 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: those three right now, fifteen games of the season aren't 362 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: really aren't really doing the job. 363 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 4: And the other thing about that, and I don't disagree, 364 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 4: and it's you know, how much leash can you give 365 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 4: the guys, and you want to again, it would be 366 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 4: a lot easier to give leash to you know, some 367 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 4: of these guys, some of the other guys were picking 368 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 4: it up, but they're not and they're not getting the 369 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 4: job done, so it makes it difficult. It also was 370 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 4: surprising to me I watched, you know, we talk about 371 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 4: the defense Marsh. There's a couple of plays in the 372 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 4: outfield that that found him, and I think Marsh is 373 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 4: like a really good defender on the corners, and maybe 374 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 4: a couple of balls that he might have could have 375 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 4: had had he had. 376 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: Like the right routes and the right energy or whatever jump. Yeah, 377 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 2: I was. I was a little surprised. I was a 378 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: little surprised by the one that that got past him. 379 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: He was kind of slid and missed it, and then 380 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 4: one that bounced sort of on the line. I thought 381 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 4: that they were for him, because I think he's a 382 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 4: plus plus defender. For him, they were seen to be 383 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: catchable balls. But maybe maybe the bats are affecting what 384 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 4: he's doing out there on defense to who knows. 385 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 2: I do know that mentally, you get screwed. 386 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: Up when you're not when you're not producing with the bat, 387 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 4: and uh, maybe. 388 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: That's affecting him somehow. 389 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 6: That's why just. 390 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: Now for a couple of days, maybe he broke up. 391 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 3: Right, So justin justin Justin Crafford a couple of days. Yeah, 392 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, Jim, you mentioned Justin Crawford. 393 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 3: For people wondering he is batting two fifty one six 394 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: forty one ops with the iron picks. Now, he got 395 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: off to a great start's first nine games, he's hitting 396 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 3: three twenty five at a couple of triples. His last 397 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: five is two for nineteen. So for those people going like, 398 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 3: just bring him Crawford, probably too early. Dave Dombrowski has 399 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 3: said that he's not afraid to call up young guys. 400 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 5: But I think that's I think that is definitely on 401 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 5: their twenty twenty five radar screen. I think that's the 402 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 5: reason they've pushed him to triple A at age twenty one. 403 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 5: But I don't know that it's here on April, the 404 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 5: middle of the middle of April book. Yeah, I will 405 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 5: point out he's played some left field too. Up there 406 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 5: in Leon, he's playing almost as much left field as 407 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 5: center field, so keeping options open, versatility, He's still you know, 408 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 5: this is a player development situation. I've also heard from 409 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 5: people they think he's a better left fielder than centerfielder. 410 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 5: So it's gonna be an interesting puzzle that they have 411 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 5: to figure out if they don't start getting some production 412 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 5: from the guys that are here right now. I mean 413 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 5: we're talking about possibly sending somebody out. It's probably it 414 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 5: might be a little too early, but it's also getting 415 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 5: to the point where you need to show something, right. 416 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 3: This team has expectations. They can't. 417 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 5: They can't. You're right about that. 418 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 4: They were top five, they were top five offensively in 419 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 4: so many categories last year was runs and ops and 420 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: batting average, et cetera, et cetera, producing runs, and so 421 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: you're not getting that now. And the expectation is that 422 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 4: they'll that they would be better, if not the same, 423 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 4: and you're certainly not getting that at them right now. 424 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. 425 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 3: I don't think Rob's been real happy with just the 426 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 3: abats in general, because a lot of guys are getting 427 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: really pull happy right now. He told he said, he 428 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 3: told he said this the other day. He said he's 429 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 3: He's told Marsh a couple of times in the last 430 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 3: few days. Start using the opposite field, stop trying to 431 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: pull everything, use hit the ball to left field, left 432 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: center field, because I guess he's just been you can 433 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 3: you can see it in his swing. He's just rolling 434 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 3: over everything, rolling over everything. Yeah, and the bats are 435 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 3: just not good. Alec Boem talked on Saturday. He talked 436 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: about his frustration. Says he feels like he's under a 437 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 3: magnifying glass in a lot of ways after everything that 438 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 3: happened last season. But he says he's at the point 439 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 3: now where he's not letting it bothering him, bother him. 440 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 3: But I think it's definitely bothered him. His start has 441 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 3: definitely bothered him. He says. The thing that's killed him 442 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: the most is that he has hit a lot of 443 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 3: balls hard. They've almost all been outs. Ironically, then the 444 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 3: last two games he has he did a lot. 445 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 2: Of balls hard. 446 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 3: Uh, you know, since since we talked him on Saturday 447 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 3: before or the game. But you know, they need to 448 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: get him going as well. So uh, maybe this week 449 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 3: against the Giants they get things figured out. 450 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 4: But guys, well it'll be tough against the Giants because 451 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 4: they have one of the best pitching staffs right now 452 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 4: in Baseball. 453 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: Our pitching wi and really really well, especially their bullpen. 454 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 4: It's interesting, you know, in the beginning of the year, 455 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 4: they were not hitting the starters. The Phillies weren't hitting 456 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 4: the starters, and they were getting to the relievers. 457 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 2: It's been like a flip over the last couple of days. 458 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 4: I mean, there have been times when from like the 459 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 4: fifth inning on, they don't even get like a couple 460 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 4: of base runners. They haven't gotten any hits. I mean, 461 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 4: it happened a few times. 462 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 5: So how was how was Zach Wheeler after Sunday's defeat Todd? 463 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: You know, Zach was. I've seen him saltier for sure 464 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 3: after losses, you know, like I think he had enough 465 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 3: time to cool down maybe, but he he expressed some 466 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 3: frustration with the way he's pitching. He says he doesn't 467 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 3: feel like he's in sync. He doesn't know why. He 468 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: says his control command isn't where he wants it to be. 469 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 3: He doesn't feel like he has his best fastball. We 470 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 3: asked him, you know, why do you think that is? 471 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: Is a mechanical thing? He says, I don't know, but 472 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: we've got to dig into it. So that was He's 473 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 3: given up that that Tuesday game in Atlanta when the 474 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: ball drops in front of him. Those are three runs 475 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: right there. But this is the first time he's given 476 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 3: up four runs or more and consecutive starts. Sin's like 477 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 3: June July of twenty twenty three. So this is, you know, 478 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: kind of uncharged, not undercharted territory. But territory he doesn't 479 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 3: get into very often, but all things considered, I you know, 480 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: I did ask him, do you, guys feel that you 481 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 3: need to be perfect? Are you feeling any pressure out 482 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 3: there to be perfect because the offense is not doing 483 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: what it needs to do? And he says, I try 484 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: to be perfect every time. I don't care what the 485 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 3: offense is doing. And I was like, that's right, that's 486 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 3: why you're good. That's why you're good. Yeah, he's not 487 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 3: gonna thrown anybody on the bus. And plus I do 488 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 3: believe that. I mean, it's not like I don't know 489 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: if they're score nine runs a game or new zero 490 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 3: are runs of games acting to try to go out 491 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: there and throw zeros. You know, he's he's got that mentality. 492 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 3: So guys, it is the first show of the week, 493 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 3: it's Monday, and so this might be a challenge this week, 494 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 3: but it's Manco Manco Best Week by Manco Manco, the 495 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 3: best of the best. This is where we pick our 496 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 3: best Phillies player performance, play of the week. We just 497 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: got done talking about this too. 498 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 5: And for a road trip? 499 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: Can I Yeah? 500 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 5: Can I go with Rory McIlroy second? 501 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 2: Can I second? Man I was very, very emotional for him. 502 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: I mean the drama and that amazing. 503 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 5: Back nine was amazing up and down, and I mean 504 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 5: I thought he I thought he you know, I thought 505 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 5: he kicked it. I thought he kicked it. I was 506 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 5: gonna say something else. He choked it off. I thought 507 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 5: he tinkled it away and then he grabbed it right 508 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 5: by the throat again. And amazing drama. But you know, Manco, 509 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 5: Manco best of the week. Can I go, like big picture? 510 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 5: Can I go with the defense? On Saturday? It turned 511 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 5: five double plays nice and they you know, go to 512 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 5: I mean, you got to get a win and at 513 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 5: some point, so they lose two straight series, but they, 514 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 5: you know, they get a win Saturday afternoon in Saint 515 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 5: Louis and you know, five double plays. I mean, good 516 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 5: job by the pitching Christopher Sanchez to roll the ground 517 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 5: ball and you know, make a big pitch in those 518 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 5: situations with men on bass, and a good job you 519 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 5: know by the defense to turn them. It's like, you know, 520 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 5: it's like talk about their their inning changers. Those double 521 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 5: plays they just change, you know, the momentum of an 522 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 5: inning and the outlook of an inning for a pitcher 523 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 5: and a team and they get you back on the 524 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 5: bench in a Harris. So that would be my Manco 525 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 5: and Manco's best. 526 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 2: Go ahead, what do you got there, Zo, man boy? 527 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna go with the one outfielder is 528 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 3: really hitting. Right now, I'm gonna say Nick Castianos this 529 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 3: past week bet three thirty three, four doubles, fourbis, eight 530 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 3: thirty three ops and six games on this road trip, 531 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 3: and that included an over five with five punches, as 532 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 3: the kids didn't. And that's and that's kind of why 533 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 3: it jumped out of me. You know, he goes over 534 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: five five strikeouts, and I'll tell you what, he took 535 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 3: it very very well. He was kind of, I don't know, 536 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 3: a little gallows humor less. So he was kind of 537 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: like wondering, like how many guys have struck out five 538 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 3: times in Major League history? Oh yeah, I'm number two 539 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty six, you know. Okay, you know, so 540 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 3: as only Nick would and uh you know, then he 541 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 3: has he has a big hit yesterday on Saturday, had 542 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: another good game, and then of course the cool little moment, 543 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 3: little fun little moment, he catches that ball in the 544 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 3: right field corner. Philip Young Phillies fan gives him a 545 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 3: high five, and then Nick goes back in and gives 546 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: him a little dapt fist bump, and Nick said, hey, 547 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 3: we're just we're all just having fun out here. I said, 548 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 3: because said, why did he go back and give him 549 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 3: the fist bump? You already gave him, like a h 550 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 3: you already slapped give him five. He's trying to give 551 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 3: him a little bit more love. So Nick cas is 552 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: my best. 553 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 2: And he tossed them the ball right on. 554 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he tossed the ball as well. Absolutely yeah, So yeah, 555 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 3: all that stuffy creating man, that's why. That's why I 556 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: said to him, I said, you know, you just made 557 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: that kid's day. Man, he's gonna have a great story 558 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: now for the rest of his life. He's gonna be 559 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 3: telling that story for the next fifty sixty years. And 560 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, maybe Nick, my man goes week. 561 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 5: Those things stay with you. I had those moments as 562 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 5: a kid. I wrote a big story about it once 563 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 5: thirty five years later after I had an encounter with 564 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 5: Harmon Killerbrew at Famway Park, and it stayed with me 565 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 5: all those years. And then one year at the Winter Meetings, 566 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 5: I tracked him down. I told him the story and 567 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 5: I did an interview with him, wrote the story about it. 568 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 5: So those little things, when you connect with the kid, 569 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 5: that really matters. He'll stay with that kid forever. When 570 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 5: he's an adult, he'll tell his kids and they'll he'll 571 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 5: play catch with his kid and turn his kid onto 572 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 5: the game. It just keeps perpetuating and sustaining. It's a 573 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 5: good thing. 574 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 4: Gotcha, Well, my Manco Maco is gonna throw a little 575 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 4: breaking ball. I'm gonna throw Chris Sanchez in there. Chris Sanchez, 576 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 4: who's six and a third. He got all those ground balls. Yes, 577 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 4: he gave up some hits. Didn't have to do with 578 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 4: the strikeouts. He didn't want to do it. He talked 579 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 4: about it afterwards. He wanted to be efficient, didn't care 580 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 4: about the strikeouts. Just wants to get out to get 581 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 4: the team back in pitch as long as he possibly cans. 582 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: Pitches six and a third. 583 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 4: Did a nice job in Saint Louis, and it's the 584 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: first time he's really pitched well on the road. 585 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 2: In a while, if I recall correctly, And for him 586 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: to sort of get over that hump, that what was 587 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 2: important for him. 588 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 4: I think for him mentally, that is Zra down on 589 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 4: what three one two, I believe, And I think there's 590 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 4: a lot of comments about from the other team and 591 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 4: from other people with the Saint Louis Cardinals about how 592 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 4: good this guy is and. 593 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: How good his stuff is. So I'll go with Chris Sanchez, Baby, 594 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez. 595 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 3: That's a great one. You know, it was funny in 596 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: spring training. I remember this, Rob Thompson. Sanchez started a 597 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 3: game down in Bradenton and we were asking Rob about 598 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 3: it after the game. He said, you know, he actually 599 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 3: wanted to come down here and pitch down here. And 600 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 3: we're like, why would he want to come to Bradenton 601 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 3: And he said, he said, because he's trying to get 602 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 3: as many road starts as possible down here. We don't 603 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 3: know why he struggled on the road. He doesn't know 604 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 3: why he struggled the road. So the only thing we 605 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: can really think of is maybe just the timing of 606 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 3: warming up and then sitting in the first top of 607 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 3: the first inning and then going out there and pitching 608 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 3: in the bottom half the first inning. So it's something 609 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: he tried to work on this spring in a very 610 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 3: I thought it was kind of a unique way like, Hey, 611 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 3: I'm just going to go try to pitch as many 612 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 3: road Greater League games as possible, just to because maybe 613 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 3: this is why. Maybe it's not. Probably it isn't, but 614 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: if it is, let's try to fix it, and let's 615 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: get me more comfortable warming up on the road, so 616 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 3: when I go on the road, maybe I can pitch 617 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: a little bit better. So that kind of shows well. 618 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 4: This is also one of the reasons why I've sort 619 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 4: of fallen in love with Christopher Sanchez, because he's already 620 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 4: signed his contract, he's got his money. 621 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 2: He wants to get better. He wants to get better, 622 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: and he. 623 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 4: Wants to improve, and he's always trying to find ways 624 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 4: to get better. And he's already made an amazing transformation 625 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 4: or you know where he was when he first got 626 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 4: to the big leagues to where he is now. But 627 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 4: he still wants to get better every time out. So 628 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 4: got a little place in my heart for old Chris 629 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 4: Sanchez because he the accountability is high with that young man. 630 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 5: I find it a little sad you have to even 631 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 5: point that out. It shouldn't matter if you've signed. You 632 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 5: should always want to get better. Anybody you know, any 633 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 5: player should always strive for your best, no matter how 634 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 5: many zeros are on your paycheck and how many years 635 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 5: you have remaining. 636 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 4: No, I don't disagree with you at all, but that's 637 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 4: not always your case, James. 638 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 3: As you well know, there's a lot of players out 639 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: there with massive nine figure deals that didn't really necessarily 640 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,959 Speaker 3: grind it out the last few years in the major leagues. 641 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 5: So sad, sad but true. 642 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 3: Sad but true, guys. Phillots opened a seven game home 643 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 3: stand beginning Monday night against the Giants. Monday, it's Taiwan 644 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 3: Walker versus Landon is it Roupe. Tuesday, Hayes Lucizzarro versus 645 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 3: Justin Berlander Wednesday, Aaron Nola versus Robbie Ray Thursday, Christopher 646 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 3: Sanchez that we just talked about versus Jordan Hicks Ranger. 647 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: Suarez is throwing a rehab start, his second rehab start 648 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 3: on Tuesday, probably in clear Water, maybe somewhere else if 649 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 3: the weather's gonna be nice. They don't want to send 650 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 3: him up the Lehigh Valley if it's gonna be forty 651 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 3: two degrees in drizzling, so he might go down there 652 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 3: and pitch. Stay down in clear Water.
