1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Chase that Lee. It's a Philly show. Hey, everybody,

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Rubin Tomorrow Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todds, Weilluck, It's the Philly Show.

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: It's Friday, May second, twenty twenty five. Guys, how are

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: we doing this morning?

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: Great?

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Good, great standing, fantastic, fantastic. I wanted to start the

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: show with this RB. It's now becoming a thing here,

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: it's becoming a thing. Look what I got in the

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: mail the other day. Now, I got a Ruben Senior card.

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Rubin Tomorrow Senior card.

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: It's on the wall.

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 3: Bro.

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a reproduction, but it came out

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight. One of our listeners viewers, Chris A,

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to you know again, I don't like

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: to give people's last names if they don't want it.

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: But Chris sent that to me in the mail. I

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty cool, and it's a reminder that

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: I got a I got a DM the other day

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: on X somebody who has some more Ruben Rubin Junior

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: memorabilia that he wants to send me. So I'm getting

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: all this Ruby want to send.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: They want to send it to you because they want

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: to get rid of it.

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: Those old shots on the baseball card when the photographer

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 4: would shoot up on the player and used a beautiful

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 4: blue sky as the background goes classic.

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: I took one of those of Jimmy the other day

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: at slug ball on Monday, Trenton. I got, I got

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: on the ground and I shot skyward and Jimmy looked glorious.

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: He looked majestic.

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 5: I wish I clipped my nose here, but it was okay.

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: Other than that, as we get older, we got hair

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: growing in other places that shouldn't be. My dad always

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: say that have hair in my head, but everywhere else

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: I got hit.

38
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so funny and sadly very very true. Uh, guys.

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: The Phillies lost on Thursday night to the Nationals four

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: to two. They won the series. They've now won two

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: series in a row Chicago Cubs over the weekend at

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field and this series against the Nationals Assistant Bank Park.

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: It is May second, and the Phillies are seventeen and fourteen.

44
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you, guys, going into May one,

45
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: just one day into May, kind of where do you

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: assess where they are?

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: Right now.

48
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: I was looking at the standings. If the season ended today,

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: they would be tied with the Diamondbacks, who are coming

50
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: into town this weekend for the third and final wildcard spot.

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: They're on pace to win eighty nine games. I think,

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: all things considered, I feel like it's kind of been

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: a very very uneven month. It could be a lot worse,

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I still believe. I think we

55
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: all believe. Well, you tell me, but I think they're

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: going to be in it right until the end.

57
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm okay with where they are. Obviously, I'd like

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: to see them play better at times. Even rober Thompson

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: had admitted that on Thursday, saying, what do you say

60
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 4: they were a little bit fortunate to be with their

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: where they are considering some of their inconsistencies.

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: And I would agree with that.

63
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: But there are a lot of different ways to get

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 4: through a season, and we know how long it is.

65
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: Six months last year they blitzed out of the starting

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: blocks and they blew everybody away, and you know, frankly

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: coasted and didn't play well after really June ninth. I mean,

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 4: they were five hundred team after that. The rest is

69
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: the way, So you know, get through May. There are

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: three games over five hundred. It seems like, you know,

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: this year is maybe a different style. It's almost like

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: a NASCAR driver. You lay back a little bit, lay

73
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: back a little bit, let some of these other cars

74
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,279
Speaker 4: and teams wreck in front of you, and then you

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: zoom passed them. Because I still think they're going to

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: get hot, and I still think their big boys are

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: going to get hot and need to get hot, because

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: they've done a lot of this, three games over five

79
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: hundred without their big boys really being hot. Schwarbers, you know,

80
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: back on one of his heaters, which is great to see.

81
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: But you know, you haven't seen enough from Harper, you

82
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: haven't seen enough from Bom. You need more from them.

83
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: Trey starting to swinging a little bit. But I'm fine

84
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: where they are. But you know, at some point they here,

85
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: they're going to have to get going and play better.

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 5: It's a lot of its perception.

87
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: Like so they get this big series against the Diamondbacks

88
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: this weekend. The Diamondbacks were one of these in vogue

89
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: hot teams, a team on the rise team to keep

90
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: an eye on. They have the same exact record as

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks and the Diamondbacks are perceived as a team

92
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 4: on the rise, and the Phillies are perceived as a team.

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 5: That is leveled off.

94
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: Who knows, But I'm okay with where they are. I

95
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: will acknowledge they need to do better. I will acknowledge

96
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: they need help in the bullpen, but I'm okay with

97
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: where they are.

98
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I guess on them is that you know

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: they're okay, They're not clearly not playing championship caliber baseball

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: right now. You know, one of the biggest concerns that

101
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: I have about them are the bullpen. In the defense.

102
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: The defense just needs to be much much better. I

103
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: don't care for the way they're playing defensively. The people

104
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: in the middle of the field center field, shortstop in particular,

105
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: have been the average and that needs to get better.

106
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how that happens, but it does need

107
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: to be better. And you know, their expectation was that

108
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: Rojas would be an elite type centerfielder, but he's made

109
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 3: some gaffes out there, and and Trey Turner has made

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: some errors as well. He has started to swing the

111
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: bat much better, and like to see that. That's really important.

112
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: I like to see him driving the baseball a little

113
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: bit more. I don't see him with any extra base

114
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: or slug which is a little bit of a concern.

115
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: And obviously, you know, you don't have very much production

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: at all from your three hole hitter, which is Bryce Harper,

117
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: that's supposed to be your best offensive player.

118
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: The good thing.

119
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: About it is that's where they are, and they haven't

120
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: had production from here Boe or you know, the kind

121
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: of although Bones picked it up considerably since his really

122
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 3: really rough start. They just they need to play better

123
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: overall baseball as the season wears on. But as we've

124
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: talked about before, it's not how you start, it's how

125
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: you finish. And I don't mind them having to grind

126
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: through September and play good baseball as they move towards

127
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 3: the possibility of being in the playoffs. I do believe

128
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: it's a playoff team. It may be tough because if

129
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: the folks in the West are playing really good baseball,

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 3: so the wildcard situation, who knows, you know, they could

131
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: still win the NL East. That's still a possibility. Even

132
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: though New York has been playing better baseball. O we're

133
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: all better, Mojo, But there's a long way to go,

134
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: and Atlanta's starting to kick it in, so you know,

135
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: they're they're not out of this thing. So they're gonna

136
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: have to start playing much much better baseball as the

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: summer weares on. I do believe some are h hitting

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: seasons here upon us. The heat and all that stuff

139
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: is coming and UH, and we'll see what happens as

140
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: they try to sort through that bullpen and UH and

141
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: their overall defense defense, but that needs to get better.

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: Of course, of course they're not out of it. This

143
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: battle hasn't even started yet. This is still ridiculously early.

144
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: But your point on the defense is spot on, because

145
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: the defense has been really shaky and.

146
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 5: It cost them Thursday night. They might win that game.

147
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: If Harper turns that double play, it starts that double play,

148
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: or if it just gets out, keeps it in front

149
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: of them, anything get out that really that really hurt them.

150
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: And that's a rare, a rarity. He seems not himself

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: over the last couple of weeks. You don't see him

152
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: with the same sort of spark, not just offensively, but

153
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: also you know, there's overall demeanor. Doesn't seem like he's

154
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: he's being himself, and they need him to be himself

155
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: because he's Bryce Harper.

156
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: He's only himself though. When he's producing.

157
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: I mean it's like, you play good it you know,

158

Speaker 1: We'll get into more of that of course. Uh over

220
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: the next several weeks talking talking Delco. But wanted to

221
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: mention that so gentlemen, uh sad uh. Last night Taiwan

222
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: Walker goes five and two thirds innings, gives up four runs,

223
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: one earned just one earned run. Pitch really well. It's

224
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: probably going to be the last start for Taiwan Walker

225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: in the Phillies rotation. Ranger Suarez is coming back on Sunday.

226
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: Some moving pieces there, Rob of course. Rob Thompson was

227
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: asked several times yesterday in the past few days, what

228
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: are you going to do? What are you going to do?

229
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: He says, we don't know what we're going to do.

230
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: Or Ranger Suarez is going to start, He's starting Sunday.

231
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: He's going to stay in the rotation. The Phillies have

232
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: said it. They say that they have had no conversations

233
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: about Ranger Swarez going to the bullpen. Very unlikely they

234
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: go to a six man rotation. Do you guys have

235
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: any thoughts on what they should do? Would you guys

236
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: go to a six man rotation? I would not I

237
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: would not do it. I would not do it because

238
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: it would mean fewer starts for Zach Wheeler, Jesus Lozardo,

239
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez, Aaron Nola once he gets going. We don't

240
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: really have They don't really have a lot of roster

241
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: flexibility in terms of optional pitchers, What do you guys

242
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: think about what's going to happen to the rotation to

243
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,479
Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker to Rangers Suarez moving forward.

244
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 5: Well, I think Rangers going to the rotation. It's clear.

245
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: I mean, he was one of the best pitchers in

246
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: baseball for sixteen starts last year, for for almost the

247
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 4: first three months of the season, and you have to

248
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: find out if he's still that guy. I mean, if

249
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: he's even close to that guy. He's an upgrade over

250
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: Taiwan Walker in the rotation. So Taiwan Walker is going

251
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 4: to go to the bullpen as a long man, I

252
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 4: would assume, and that's where kind of that was his

253
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 4: best case scenario entering spring training. They could get some

254
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: longman on hims. But he's done a really good job

255
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: building a little bit more velocity. I've done a good

256
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: job in six starts, kept them in some games at

257
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: three and three in those games. So I think he

258
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: should feel good about himself. But you know, it's a

259
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 4: it's about building your best team and your best Rotation're

260
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 4: gonna be your best team and your best rotation with

261
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: Ranger in the rotation, So that's you know, that's the

262
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: way I see them going I wouldn't go six man now,

263
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: but I think they're going to go modified six man

264
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: at in the second half when Patrick gets here, so

265
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: you're kind of dropping him in while keeping Wheeler close

266
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: to his regular day.

267
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: But you know, but not now.

268
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: I mean, you go to see what Rangers got because

269
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: his first sixteen stars last year he was great, and

270
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: his last eleven starts, obviously coming off injury, he was terrible.

271
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 5: So we're gonna find out, you know, what he is.

272
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: What a terrific problem to have, huh, what an amazing

273
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: problem to have. I mean, think about all the other

274
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: teams that can't even.

275
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the Dodgers.

276
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: They can't even field more than two or three starters

277
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: right now healthy.

278
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: They've used they've used eleven starters Rouben so far eleven

279
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: eleven arters.

280
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 3: The Phillies have used thirteen pitchers. It's a tremendous problem

281
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: to have. The other elements of the team have to

282
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: be good. But if you have good starting pitching every

283
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: single night, you have a chance to win the baseball game.

284
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: If you have good solid pitching and give you six

285
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: solid innings, you to be seven. Now it's six. If

286
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: you can get six solid innings out of them, you

287
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: got a chance to win every single night. And the

288
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: fact that they have multiples of those guys knock Wood,

289
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: and that they're currently pretty healthy. It looks like now

290
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: now that Chris Sanchez came out of his start seemingly

291
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: like himself again, Suarez bouncing back now. And I got

292
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: to give a lot of credit to Taiwan Walker.

293
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: Man.

294
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: This guy was a dead man walking. People wanted to

295
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: release him, people wanted to get rid of him, people

296
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: wanted to crap on him. And the reality of it

297
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: is he came back and made himself a better pitcher,

298
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: worked his ass off in the offseason. We've talked about

299
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: him many times, but I got to go back. I'm surprised, honestly,

300
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: with the way the ball was coming out of his

301
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: hand for most of the year last year, almost the

302
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: entire season, for him to come back and pitch the

303
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: way he's pitching. He's changed his arsenal. He's throwing breaking

304
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: balls and cutters. He's had effectiveness with his stuff. Granted,

305
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: the hitting's not great in the league. It's not a

306
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: good hitting league. Guys can't hit anymore, that's pretty obvious.

307
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: But he's exploiting them, and he's doing well, and I'm

308
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: really very impressed by the way he's pitched, and he

309
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: deserves a lot of credit. It was nice to see

310
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: the nice ovation he had even though he was behind

311
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: when they came off the field yesterday. That was nice

312
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: to see. If people are acknowledging that this guy has

313
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: been a helpful piece of the rotation, I hope his

314
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: stuff can play and maybe play up a tick when he.

315
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: Goes into the into the bullpen.

316
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that he can be that guy, but

317
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: I know he's got the guts the balls to be

318
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: able to go back there and pitch, and who knows,

319
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: maybe he can push the other guys a little bit

320
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: and pitching in some tight situations.

321
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

322
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: How Rob Thompson's gonna utilize him, but it's okay to

323
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 3: have another arm back there, nothing wrong with it. And

324
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: uh hopefully he can be an asset there until he's

325
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: needed again in the in the rotation, because at some point, boys,

326
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna need him again.

327
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 4: In the question you need, you're right, he's shown a

328
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 4: lot of character and you're right, you need all the

329
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: depth you can get.

330
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: Kudos, I mean, cheers to Taiwan Walker for the effort

331
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: that he's put together. This is the season so far.

332
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: And that's why I said at the top, like you know,

333
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: when you think you one hundred percent know exactly what's

334
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: going to happen, this guy should be cut. This guy stinks.

335
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: That guy, This team does this, this team. Just look

336
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: at back at Taiwan Walker and what everybody was saying

337
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: about him even before he made his first start. I

338
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: mean I had people texting me or not tech on

339
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: social media saying, oh great, I get to go to

340
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: the Taiwan Walker start. Great, you know, oh oh great?

341
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: You know I got stuck with the Taiwan Walker start.

342
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: And then he's pitched really pitch, really well. And what's

343
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this last night. It's really funny

344
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: how it's worked out because last year, at this time,

345
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: almost exactly to the day, Spencer Turnbull on April thirtieth

346
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: made its final start for the Phillies. He was two

347
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: to ozher with the one to six seven ERA after

348
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: six starts, and he deserved to stay in that rotation,

349
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: but Taiwan Walker was coming back from an injury and

350
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: Spencer Turmble got moved to the bullpen. Even though he

351
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: did not deserve a demotion to the bullpen. Tywan Walker

352
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: made his sixth start on May one, two point five

353
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: to four ERA. I believe, yeah, two point five to

354
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: four ERA, and he has done nothing to lose his

355
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: spot in the rotation. But he is probably going He's

356
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: going to go to the bullpen. So it's just kind

357
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: of crazy how he's literally on the other end of

358
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: where he was last year.

359
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 3: I say it all the time. Baseball is an amazing game.

360
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: From year to year, from month to month, from week

361
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: to week, the game can change so dramatically. You can

362
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 3: be a pauper on you know, on May fifth, and

363
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: you can be a king on August fifth. I mean,

364
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: you just never you just never know.

365
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: And Jim you mentioned like he's handled everything so well,

366
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: you know, even last night, you know, we asked him

367
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: kind of about, you know, what do you want to do.

368
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: He's like, obviously I want to be a starting pitcher,

369
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: but it's not my decision. We'll see what happens. He

370
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: was asked about again that that potential move, and he said,

371
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: we'll see what they say, and then he immediately jumps on.

372
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: Ranger coming back is such a bonus for us he's

373
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: such a good picture. I know we miss him in

374
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: our rotation. We'll see what happens. It's always a good

375
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: problem to have when you have guys throwing the ball well,

376
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: especially in the starting rotation. So he's he said all

377
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: the right things in spring training. He said all the

378
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: right things. Uh, Thursday night after a start, So go ahead, Jim.

379
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: No, he's been a class guy. He had that one

380
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: little when he was not the rotation in twenty three

381
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: at the end, at the end of the postseason, he

382
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 4: had a little social media he vented a little bit

383
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: on social media and it kind of raised some eyebrows.

384
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: But since then, nothing but a class guy. I mean,

385
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 4: this game is about opportunity. So last year he takes

386
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 4: turnbull spot because the previous year he had pitched one

387
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy innings. He had earned that opportunity. Last

388
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: year he fumbled it away by having an ERA over seven,

389
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: not keeping his team in games. And when I would

390
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 4: look at him pitched last year, I would look at

391
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 4: the demeanor of the guys behind him, and they had

392
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: a beaten look like they just kind of knew he

393
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 4: wasn't going to keep him in the game, you know,

394
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: I don't see that this year looks like they know

395
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: he's going to keep them in the game. That said,

396
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: Rangers the guy who last year has earned the opportunity

397
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 4: to go back in, and Taiwan Walker is the guy

398
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: who's going to get bounced because he didn't earn enough

399
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 4: of a leash last year.

400
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 5: So you owe it to yourself to see what Ranger

401
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: can do.

402
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: And if Ranger does not seize this opportunity, there's going

403
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: to be a guy named Andrew Painter who's going to

404
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: be here in two months, and there could be a shuffling,

405
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 4: you know, resulting from his ascension if he pitches well.

406
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: So you always got to keep producing or you get

407
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 4: pushed out. And you know, short term track record does

408
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: mean something. What you did last year means something, what

409
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 4: you did last month means something. So this is an

410
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: opportunity for Ranger and he has to deliver. He has

411
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 4: to deliver for a lot of reasons. The twenty twenty

412
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: five Phillies need him. He's also going in through his

413
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 4: free agent winter. So a lot of things, a lot

414
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 4: of little subplots here.

415
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 3: So another thing that I'd like to mention about this,

416
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: You know people are gonna start saying, well, now you

417
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 3: have like multiples of these guys, and Rangers has two

418
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: starts where he pitches well, and you have you know,

419
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: Timeline Walker sitting there in the bullpen. Well, why don't

420
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: you utilize him and trade him to get another piece?

421
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: Well, guess what, folks, you do that.

422
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: The second you do that, somebody's going down and then

423
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: you're gonna be and then you're gonna be naked. So everybody,

424
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: it's a long season. We're one month in, we're one

425
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 3: sixth through the season, one six and so you got

426
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: a long way to go. Uh So you know people

427
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: who want to go ahead and trade from a from

428
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: a position of strength, it's not a position of strength

429
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: until you're doing it after July, right.

430
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 5: You need the depth.

431
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 4: And the depth issue is even going to come into

432
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: play here with the pitcher that they have to subtract

433
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: to get Ranger on the active rocks correct and get

434
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 4: Taiwan into the bullpen.

435
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 5: Someone is gonna have to come off the active roster.

436
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 5: I don't know what it's gonna be.

437
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 4: It might be that Carlos Hernandez was the last guy

438
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 4: in Who's throwing hundred last night?

439
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: And last year has been really good, So it.

440
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: Would be nice to hang on to that depth. I

441
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: don't know how they're going to do it, but.

442
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if Ruiz has another option.

443
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: Does he have an option?

444
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: No, The only two guys who have been that have

445
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: an option the bullpen right now are Tanner Banks and

446
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Kirkring. Those are the only two now.

447
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 4: If you can get her and Is through waivers, which

448
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 4: I'm not sure you can.

449
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 5: He has owed some money maybe that helps their course.

450
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: But if you can get him through, you can outride him.

451
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 5: But you know, and you know he hasn't.

452
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: He's only been outrighted one time. He's never been outrighted.

453
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: I don't think so. If it's the second out right,

454
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: he can take his free agency if he wants to.

455
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he's ever been outrighted. I think

456
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 4: you can outright him and hang on to him. This

457
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: would be a perfect opportunity, something that we used to

458
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 4: see and.

459
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 5: Kind of used to joke about.

460
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 4: You know, I would write that the Phillies put so

461
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: and so on the on the d L back when

462
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 4: it was called the d L with.

463
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 5: Wrist rosteritis to call it.

464
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 4: And what you're doing is you know, you know you're

465
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 4: putting a guy on the on the d L for

466
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 4: ten days.

467
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 5: Was a picture fifteen days.

468
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: They keep an eye on that much more than they

469
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: used to.

470
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 4: Right, And then you get them a couple of bullpen

471
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: sessions and maybe one rehab outing, and you work on

472
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: some things and in fifteen or sixteen days, conceivably you

473
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 4: have a better picture.

474
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 5: But they have really cracked down on that.

475
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 4: I think the padres got slapped, the mets got slapped,

476
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 4: so you know that that's probably not going to happen.

477
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 5: But that was one of the things you would see

478
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 5: back in the day. It's just hard to do that.

479
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: What is interesting about this is do they send ten

480
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: or Banks down or do they send a guy like

481
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: go Ryan Kirkering down for ten days, for twelve days, whatever,

482
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: They keep their depth a little bit for the reason

483
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 3: why marshaan Is are the backup catcher. Do you keep

484
00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 3: all the depth because you don't have the roster of flexibility.

485
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if that happens, I think there would

486
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 3: be a I think it would be more possible that

487
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: they send Tanner Banks out than Oriyan Kirkering at this stage,

488
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: just because of the leverage.

489
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: Innings that these guys pitch.

490
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: Tanner Banks not in leverage innings necessarily. Oriyan Kirkring is

491
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: not that Orion's pitching all that well. It'd be nice

492
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: for him to straighten out his break is slider and

493
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: breaking ball. I saw some people talk about the fact

494
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 3: that is the break on his slider is not the same.

495
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 3: It's not as effective, it's not as it doesn't have

496
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 3: as much depth. Maybe that's a reason for him to

497
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: go down and work on that pitch. I mean, there's

498
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: some things that they that they can do. I'm not

499
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 3: sure if it makes the team better, but it might

500
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: make the team better in the long run. So this

501
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 3: next roster movement is going to be astounding for me.

502
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: Literally, like about a week ago, I would have said,

503
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: come on, guys, it's Carlos Hernandez. I mean the guys

504
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: had nine e ra are you guys insane? It's this

505
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: is the guy that they're going to move. There's there's

506
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: nobody else who can move. But in his last five appearance,

507
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: I think it's his last five appearances, five innings, five hits,

508
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: one run, one walk, three strikeouts. So he's pitched.

509
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: The only other thing that the only other reason why

510
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 3: he might stay is because they don't have a lot

511
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: of depth in their in the back end of their bullpen.

512
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: They're moving guys out of the rotation in Triple A

513
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 3: to put guys.

514
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: Into the bullpen.

515
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 7: They don't have a lot of bullpen pichs to play

516
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 7: around with, so maybe they keep all their their assets

517
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 7: and and send a guy like Banks or or Ryan

518
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 7: Kirking down not out of the realm of possibility.

519
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: They made a trade on Thursday to kind of address

520
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: this a little bit. They traded a pitching prospect, Enrique Segura,

521
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: to the Rangers for Daniel Robert. He's a hard throwing

522
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: a right hander, mid mid high nineties fastball with this sweeper,

523
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: and they optioned him to Triple A. So they're trying

524
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: to They're trying to like address that issue of not

525
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: having enough optionable, reliable, potential relievers that they could call up.

526
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: So Robert joins Seth Johnson, who you just mentioned, Ruben

527
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: who they just moved to the bullpen, Max Lazar Brett Degeiss,

528
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: who they picked up earlier this season in Triple A.

529
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: There's a couple other guys on the roster and on

530
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: the forty men roster that could be potential evers. But

531
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: they're trying to, like, yeah, increase the pool a little bit,

532
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: so they can they can maybe if they do send

533
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: Tanner Banks down or Kirkering at some point they can

534
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: they can move some guys around.

535
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 4: When you you bring up sending down Kirkering, I I

536
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 4: guess I have a hard time seeing it because he's better.

537
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: You know last year is a really good contributor. I

538
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 4: know he's off to a difficult start that the shape

539
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: of the slider is a concern, obviously needs a tweak.

540
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 4: And you know in the past they sent out Hector

541
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: Dais for a short time and got him right, and

542
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 4: they sent out Jose Alvarado and got him right, two

543
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 4: guys who had had success that you know, you walked

544
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: in and they made the movie. You're like, wow, that's

545
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 4: a significant move. So I don't think it's beyond the

546
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 4: realm of possibility. It's not unprecedented to send a guy

547
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 4: down and have that guy come down better. In case

548
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: a point near us several years ago, and Alvarado a

549
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 4: couple of years ago.

550
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, somebody's to say something.

551
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 3: Roy Halladay got sent out after being in the big

552
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 3: leagues for a few years and he came back Roy

553
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: Halliday and became a Hall of Famer. I know that's

554
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: a that's a rarity. It didn't happened all the time.

555
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: But listen, everybody needs a tweak from time to time.

556
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that that's the move they're going to make.

557
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, hey, it happens. Unless you're a superstar

558
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: quality player and you get to the big leagues, you're

559
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: staying in the big leagues. There are times when you

560
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: sometimes need a breather and need to be sent down

561
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: and an adjustment.

562
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: I just don't know.

563
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: After that.

564
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ruben central done. I'm not I'm not there with

565
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 4: Kirkery yet. I agree it's conceivable. I'm just not there

566
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: with him yet. Banks would make more sense.

567
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: Banks have five years of major league service.

568
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: Yet, No, he does not. That's why he Yeah, he

569
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: can be optioned. He can.

570
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying, like, you have to, you have

571
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: to sign off on an option if you have five

572
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 3: years of service major league service. He would have to

573
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: sign off to be optioned. That's one basic agreement I believe. Still, so, yeah,

574
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: if he does not have five years of major league service,

575
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: then he is an optionabal player.

576
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: Yep, and you know, getting in terms of getting Hernandez through,

577
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: maybe maybe not, but you know that you know the

578
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: rest of the league.

579
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: Is there's no way he's getting through.

580
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: There's no chance with the tired ass pitching that's going

581
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: on out there in the major leagues. No chance.

582
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: And yeah, I was gonna say, teams have noticed what

583
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 5: he's done.

584
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 3: Washington Nationals who snap him in a.

585
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: Second, Oh they yeah, yeah, they could use him. Guys,

586
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna look ahead at the Diamondback Series and a

587
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: couple other things. Right after these words.

588
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 6: For the card collectors out there, you got to check

589
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,920

613
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: pitching matchups. Diamondbacks Merril Kelly Friday Night versus Jesus Lozardo.

614
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: Saturday six oh five start Brandon Fott versus Aaron Nola,

615
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola trying to get his first win of the

616
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: season after pitching pretty well his last two starts. And

617
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: then Sunday two oh five start two to oh five

618
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: why because of the broad Street run. Eduardo Rodriguez versus

Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez. So it would be fun series. I mean,

620
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: he gets see Corbyn Carroll play. Who's just amazing. That

621
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: guy is amazing after a terrible sophomore year. Yes, yes,

622
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: bounce back. Yeah, he's bounced back, but not himself, not himself. Yeah,

623
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: but he's he's bounced back in a big way. So

624
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: that that that's that would be a good series. That's

625
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: a good weekend series. Phillies Diamondbacks, no Gallon, no Corbyn Burns.

626
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 5: I mean they just took two or three from the

627
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: from the metsis yes, they hit.

628
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 4: The funny thing is they were projected to have this,

629
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: you know, great pitching stuff, and I still think, you know,

630
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: it's like we said one six of the season very early.

631
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 4: They could end up right right close to the top

632
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 4: of the league and starting pitching. But the thing that's

633
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 4: been so impressive about them is their offense. Right now,

634
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: they're in the top two or three teams in a

635
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 4: lot of big offensive categories.

636
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 5: So they can shmack it.

637
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they can create a lot of havoc on

638
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: the base pass as well. They're a very aggressive running team.

639
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: Phillies are gonna have to hold them down, try to

640
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: keep them off the base paths. There's some things that

641
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: they can do, and they're an exciting team to watch.

642
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: I get nightmares when I think a Brandon was a

643
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: Brendan Bot.

644
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Fogg, he's.

645
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: The guy that playoffs a couple of years back, and

646
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 3: uh didn't throw a strike with his breaking ball, but

647
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: they swung at it. Yeah, didn't throw a strike, didn't

648
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 3: build breaking ball for a strike one time, and they

649
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: swung at every single one of them.

650
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 5: So hopefully he's good.

651
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: They actually have been better at that this year. One

652
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: of the better teams at you know, swinging in the

653
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: strike zone. We'll see how it plays out against who's

654
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 3: actually pushed a little bit better.

655
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 5: Well, he's like five and zero, I think five.

656
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: And five and one two seven eight e ra A.

657
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, he has pitched twelve uh on Thursday, guys,

658
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: the the Phillies retired the uniform insigney is I guess

659
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: you could say of Ed Delahanty, Sam Thompson, Billy Hamilton

660
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: the only outfield in baseball history with three four hundred hitters.

661
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: I think there's actually a fourth guy in there too,

662
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: but these are the three Hall of famers. Jim, what's

663
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: your favorite Sam Thompson memory?

664
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 3: When when he was a park Yeah.

665
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: They I just remember he used to leave a big

666
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 4: mess in front of his locker. He always would throw

667
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: his clothes around and make the club you pick it up.

668
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 4: So he was kind of sloppy. But once he got

669
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 4: dressed and put his uni on, he was quite dapper.

670
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 4: He had a handlebar mustache and he used to go

671
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 4: up to the plate, spin his bat and twirl his

672
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: handlebar mustache.

673
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: He's true, It's that is true.

674
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: So uh looking at Mack Gelp sent me this yesterday.

675
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: They was looking at his oh bit, Sam Thompson O bit,

676
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: and uh in the oh bit in the Philadelphia quirt said,

677
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: old time fans never forgot the habit Sam had of

678
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: curling his mustache just before he came up to hit,

679
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: and probably many a pitcher carried the pitcher to the

680
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: grave of Thompson walking slowly up to the plate with

681
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: his short black bat tucked under his arm while one

682
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: hand was busney curling that long mustache before he took

683
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: a cut at the ball. I mean, that guy really

684
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: did that. You think I don't know. I mean every

685
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: time he went up to the plate, he was curling

686
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: his mustache like he was about to like an evil

687
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: evil genius uh, doctor evil character uh. And then guys

688
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: swag even back then, yeah yeah, and started off you know,

689
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: it was Sam Thompson and then at Delahanty, of course

690
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: famously died falling into a big controversial story at the

691
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: age of thirty five. Was he pushed into the Niagara River?

692
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: Was he murdered? Was he did he stumble in inebriated?

693
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: Did he jump because he was he had no money?

694
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: He had money problems, gambling problems at Delahanty. Do we

695
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: have any theories?

696
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 5: That's give us a little old time news, Give me

697
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 5: some old.

698
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: Times at Delahanty dead at thirty five seriously follows in

699
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: the Niagara River.

700
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 4: He was on the he got kicked off the train

701
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 4: and he was like on a bridge walking back from

702
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: Canada to the United States and he fell in and

703
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: they found him like the next day with one of

704
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 4: his legs had been ripped off.

705
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, from like a propeller or something like that, from

706
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: a boat or but yeah, yeah, yeah. We ended up

707
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: doing a deep dive last night on ed dela Hanty

708
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: because you know how Hall of Fame player nobody knows

709
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: how he died. It was a mysterious death. So if

710
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: you're really bored today, go on go on the Google

711
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: and read all these stories about ed Dela Hanty.

712
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: It's actually kind of interesting.

713
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: So I wanted to mention that the Phillies.

714
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 4: About Slide, Billy Slide, and Billy Slide and Billy Hamilton,

715
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 4: he actually did something. Every time we look at a

716
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 4: picture of slide and Billy Hamilton, I think of Radar O'Reilly.

717
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: Radar O'Reilly.

718
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 4: He looks like Radar O'Reilly. He wasn't a very big fellow,

719
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 4: but he could really motor. And uh, he actually is

720
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 4: one of the like handful, not even a handful, like

721
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 4: two or three major leaguers to hit it in the

722
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: same game.

723
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 5: A leadoff home run and a walk off home run?

724
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 5: Is that right?

725
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: Back then? That was impressive because they like the league

726
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: leader hit five a year or something like that. You

727
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: know they lated eighteen hundreds.

728
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 6: The balls are soft, yeah, exactly, squeeze them, stuff stuff

729
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 6: with feathers.

730

Speaker 2: I would know about softballs.
