1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: Hi, this is jt ol Mute. Welcome to the Philly Show. 2 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 2: Hey, it's Ruben Tomorrow Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todd's lucky. It's 3 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: the Philly Show. We asked everybody for their Phillies Spring 4 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 2: training questions, and so let's jump right to it because 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: there are a lot of questions. And if you're watching 6 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: us on YouTube, we got a new little system going, 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: a little feature here going so I can actually show 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 2: some of these tweets you've gots from our awesome, awesome audience. 9 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: Let's throw our first tweet up. It's from Philly w 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: X guy. I don't know if that's Philly Weather guy, 11 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 2: but because we have a decent rotation, do you think 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: there is less pressure on Andrew Painter? If there is 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: less pressure, do you think he will turn and show 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: his full potential? What do you guys think? I mean, 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: JT real Muto talked about that after Sunday start saying 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: it was your question, Jim right. 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely think if you know, if you 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: were a club counting on soon to be twenty three 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: year old Andrew Painter who's never pitched in a Big 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: League game, to be your number one or your number two. 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: That comes with pressure if you're asking them to pitch 22 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: at the back of the rotation, a rotation headed by 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: Chris Sanchez number two in the cy Young last year, 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: and jesus Lozardo, and Aaron Nola who's a veteran, and eventually, 25 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: after a few weeks, Zach Wheeler, who's one of the 26 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: best pitchers in baseball. I do think that eases some 27 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: pressure on a guy. And I do think whatever you 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: do in life, you do it better without pressure, because 29 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: I think pressure can be an enemy. I think there's 30 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: a difference between intensity and approaching something with intensity and 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: seriousness and urgency and importance. I think those are all 32 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: a little different than pressure, and people don't often folk 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: function well with pressure. So I do think there is 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: less pressure on him because of the staff, and I 35 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: do think that can help. 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: My feeling is that this kid, just having seen him 37 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: and having watched him work, I don't know that he 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: will really succumb to a whole lot of pressure. Yes, 39 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 3: there's no question about it, that there's a automatic pressure 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: to perform in Philadelphia, There's no question about it. I 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 3: think he will feel that, and he will feel it 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: is probably his entire career. I just don't know that 43 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: he's the type of kid that will succumb to it, 44 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: just because from what I've seen of him, he seems 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: very mature. He seems very focused. I love his answers 46 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 3: and how he handles the press. I like the way 47 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: he handles himself on the mound and in his first outing, 48 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: is any indication of dealing or feeling the pressure, I 49 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: mean he handled it pretty well. So yes, there's always 50 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: going to be pressure Philadelphia. Yes, it's great to have 51 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: a decent rotation to work behind, but I think this 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 3: kid will handle it well. 53 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: You know, Jimmy, you asked him yesterday Sunday, you know, 54 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: do you feel any jitters coming out there? He's like 55 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: I thought I would, but actually I was surprised. I 56 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: didn't really feel much at all. And he kind of 57 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: spoke to his routine, how he keeps his routine. You know, 58 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: he's very regimented and kind of how he prepares for 59 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: a game, and you know, he puts a lot of 60 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: trust in that. He talked about one guy that he 61 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: has learned a lot from watching in camp this year 62 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: and maybe back in twenty twenty three, was Aaron Nola. 63 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: Because he sees how in tune with his daily routine. 64 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: You know how important Nola's daily routine is. It's like 65 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: you're watching the right guy, because I remember, you know, 66 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: some people have back in the day compared Aaron Nola's 67 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: routine and preparation between starts to Roy Halladay in terms 68 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: of like how religious he was in terms of getting 69 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: everything done. Now, Aaron's routine has changed over time, But 70 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: the point being that you know, if you have that 71 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: routine and you go into the game as prepared as 72 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 2: he possibly can be. You know, I've learned in talking 73 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: pitches over the years that does kind of take the 74 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: pressure off you or maybe put you at ease a 75 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: little bit, knowing that you've done everything you can possibly 76 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: do to prepare to throw the first pitch of the game, 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: and then the second pitch and then the third pitch, 78 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 2: and be prepared for anything that might come your way. 79 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think those routines, those routines in that 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: preparation rubs off on guys like you mentioned Doc Halladay. 81 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: It rubbed off on Cole Hammel's and he was a 82 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: different preparation beast after becoming a teammate of Dog Halliday. 83 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: But I do think pressure exists, and I do think 84 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: we see this team put a lot of pressure on 85 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: itself in the month of October, particularly the hitters. But 86 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think Payter was this is 87 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: where he belongs. He's going to be here, and hopefully 88 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't put any pressure on himself. Hopefully he breathes 89 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: and let's it happen because he's a talented fellow. 90 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go to another tweet here. This is 91 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: from Ben Quickly. This is all on X. I think 92 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 2: they are still looking to add another starting picture. I 93 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: talked to David and bro. 94 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: I would think I would think. 95 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: No, I was gonna say, I just I talked with 96 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: Dave about this the other day. He said, yeah, we're 97 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: looking for a starting pitcher, but it's based off of 98 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 2: the way our rotation is set up more of an 99 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: optionable type of guy, a guy that can go to 100 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: Triple A. 101 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 3: You know. 102 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: I asked him specifically about Max Sure's or I said, well, 103 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: Max sus are just signed for three million dollar deal, 104 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: and from what I've read, there's kind of like this, 105 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: how is he going to fit? Who's gonna go to 106 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: make him fit into the rotation? And Dave basically said, Yeah, 107 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: that's that's not the type of guy we're looking for 108 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: right now. And I I wanted to ask that because 109 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: Lucas Giolito is still out there, Zach Lttel is still 110 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: out there, so more of an optional guy. 111 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that they're just looking for flexibility right 112 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: now and they're looking for depth. They feel very confident. 113 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: I believe that they're going to get Zach Wheeler within 114 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 3: the next month or so, beyond the you know, after 115 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: the opening day, and you know, I guess my feeling 116 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: is that if they the one thing that they do 117 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: need is some optionable folks who can or pitchers that 118 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: can help them if they do have a breakdown somewhere. 119 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: So I don't think it's gonna be a big time name. 120 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: I don't think that they're going to be spending a 121 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 3: ton of money. That's not gonna happen, right, But don't 122 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 3: be surprised if they have a couple of prospects they 123 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: would consider a prospect for prospect type of a deal. 124 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: And that's kind of depends on And that's why you know, 125 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: scouts out there watching every single game in spring training. 126 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 3: That's why it's important for you know some of the 127 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 3: young players that are in camp right now to perform 128 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: well because there might be a scout out there is 129 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: looking for, you know, looking for a different type of 130 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: a position or a different type of a player that 131 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: might be of some interest and a movable object for 132 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: the Phillies to try to add to that depth. 133 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: I think I think the payrolls tight because they're over 134 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: that fourth luxury text that is an impediment. I think 135 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: everybody is looking for optionable starting pitching depth. That's another impediment. 136 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: And Lattel and Gilido, I think are very content to 137 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: sit back and wait for a contender to sustain an 138 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: injury in spring training and that increases their leverage to 139 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: make more money. And it also gives an opportunity because 140 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: they're going to want to go somewhere where there's a 141 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: real chance to start. So those I think that's where 142 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: the Phillies kind of lay at this point. 143 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: Triple A depth right now. Rotation is Alin Roun Hell 144 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: Gene Cabrera, Tucker Davidson, Bryce Wilson. Those are some of 145 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: the names that could be and the rotation triple A 146 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: rotation to start the season. We'll see how it shapes up. 147 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: Of course, this one is from first and foremost on X. 148 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: Does there seem to be any get it done or 149 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: blow it up type mentality amongst the players or even 150 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: the front office, like there was a nineteen eighty or 151 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: are we doomed to quote run it back forever? 152 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna find out a lot. 153 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: You're gonna find out a lot of stuff that goes on, 154 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 3: obviously with the season that they have a lot of 155 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: it will depend on how this season goes. I mean, 156 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: if they're in the tank and it's July and they 157 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: got no chance of getting out of it, you're gonna 158 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: see some movement. There's any question about that. There's gonna 159 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: be a shift one way or another. And a lot 160 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 3: of it depends on how things finish off at the 161 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: end of this year. Right now, they're help ben on 162 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: winning a World Series. That's the goal. They're gonna be 163 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 3: doing everything they possibly can to do. So. I think 164 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: they have a very good team, a top five team, 165 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: and I think in Major League Baseball, and I think 166 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: they're gonna push as hard as they can to bring 167 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: that trophy back. 168 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't sense there's a mentality in the room. We've 169 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: got to get it done now or we're all out 170 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: of here, because they're not all gonna be out of 171 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: here because there's a lot of long term deals. But 172 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: I think we all know that if it doesn't come 173 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: to fruition this year, then there will be some corners 174 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: of that roster that they can shake up, and I 175 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: do believe they will shake shake more things up than 176 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: they have this year or last. 177 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: Ed Bauers on X what amount of money comes off 178 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: the payroll next year? And how will that extra cash 179 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: be spent on Lizardo, other free agents or extensions. So 180 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: I did the math, Ruben Jim, I need you guys 181 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: to check my math mentally, Okay, So here's who's coming 182 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: off the books next year. You got Nick Castiano's twenty 183 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: million dollars, he's coming off the books, Taiwan Walker eighteen 184 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: million dollars, Jesus Lozardo eleven million dollars. He's a free agent, 185 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: as we all know, Alec Bohm ten point two million, 186 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: Jose Alvarado I think he's nine million, eight and a 187 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: half or nine million, and then in Mundo Sos is 188 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: a free agent at four point four million. I add 189 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: that all together in my pardon me seventy five. Eighty 190 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 2: two point six is what I got, eighty two point six. 191 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: You're in the ballpark, though, I mean, what's you throw 192 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: out seven million dollars? Once you get to that point, 193 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: what's that, Ruben? 194 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: Did you throw Alec Bohm's name? 195 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: I did, Yeah, I got Alec Bohm. Yeah, Alc Bohum 196 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: ten point two million. So you know you have eighty 197 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: two point six million dollars coming off the books here. 198 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: I mean the question included Lozardo's name, and that's quite relevant. 199 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: They would like to get something done with him and 200 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: extend the relationship. He's thirty years old, he's damn good. 201 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: They they would love to get something done there, so 202 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: I could see that happening. As far as what else 203 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: is on their plate, they would like to move these 204 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: younger guys in to balance out to pay roll and 205 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: get some young legs, young talent on the roster. But 206 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what other ways they're going to go 207 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: after that. But Lozaro was definitely a guy they want 208 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: to extend the relationship. 209 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: With no doubt about it. I mean, you know, Jose Alvarado, 210 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: he's not resigned. He made You know, you have a 211 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: lot of money to to move around add from the 212 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: bullpen and it's a lot. You know, you have some money, 213 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: maybe go out and get an out. Although the market 214 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: is not very deep next year in terms of hitters 215 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 2: from what I recall, which is why one big reason 216 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: why Bobaschett took that deal he did with the Mets 217 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: because he'll be thirty and he'll be forty two million 218 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 2: dollars richer and he can still go out and get 219 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 2: another seven year deal. So that's something to remember as well. Okay, 220 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: here we go, let's go to Philly Sports. Do you 221 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: think the Phillies can make a big trade for a 222 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: big time player at the deadline? So we're already thinking 223 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: trade deadline. 224 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: What do you think? 225 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 3: Well, to me, a lot of it depends on whether 226 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: or not the some of the pitchers that they drafted 227 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 3: over the last couple of years. They have been very 228 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 3: aggressive with with pitching talent as far as the draft 229 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: is concerned, whether some of those guys really shine during 230 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 3: the course of this season this year. If some of 231 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 3: the guys that they picked, maybe it's gauge would maybe 232 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 3: it's you know, so other talent that they that they've 233 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: acquired over the last couple of years in in the draft. 234 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 3: If they come forward and they pitch, well, it's possible, 235 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: I do believe. And a lot of it depends on 236 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 3: their need, and the need can change all the way 237 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 3: up until the deadline. That need could be an outfielder, 238 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 3: That need could be a bullpen piece. That need could 239 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 3: change depending on who's healthy, who's not, and whether they're 240 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: still contending in July. 241 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Right, it depends on where they stand in July, Like 242 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: Rubin said, the need, how big a need it is, 243 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: how close they are to winning. You know where they 244 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: are in contention because they're in go for it mode. 245 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: And if they feel like you know, one piece is 246 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: going to propel them to where they need to go, 247 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: I expect them to do something. So I think it 248 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: could be a busy trade deadline. I think there could 249 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: be a significant move. It's much like it was last 250 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: year when they got round. 251 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: If you're watching us on YouTube, make sure you hit 252 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: the subscribe button.

Next question, 256 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: Sir Frederick and Melody, do you think Justin Crawford will 257 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: play center field for the whole season. I mean that's 258 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: the plan. If he doesn't play center field all season, 259 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: then yeah, they're kind of thin. There's this report out 260 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: there about Johann Rojas, of course, and potential suspension. They're 261 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: nothing official yet, we don't know what that's going to 262 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: look like. But you know, if Crawford would struggle, if 263 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: Rojas is gone for a stretch, then you have to 264 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: move marsh over to center field. Now your depth and 265 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: left is getting thinner. You know, the only healthy the 266 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: only healthy outfielder on the forty man roster then is 267 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: Pedro Leone. Not counting Schwarber in there. I mean, Schwarber 268 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: is listed as a as an outfielder, but he's not. 269 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: He's not playing outfield. So then you have some non 270 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: roster guys. You have Brian Da la Cruz. You know, 271 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: Gabriel Rincone is on the forty man roster. He's got 272 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: the knee issue going right now, so he's not available. 273 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: So right they really need Justin Crawford to do what 274 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: he's done and and he's played. He's looked good in 275 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: this spring for what it's worth. I know, we all say, 276 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: don't worry about the numbers or whatever. But he's he 277 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: has looked good so far this spring. He's he's looked 278 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: like he's played the part. 279 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: Certainly has it's done a nice job. We've all seen 280 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: guys come up and stay the whole year and and 281 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: and grow and get better a little bit better every month, 282 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: and and and grab holds of the job. And we've 283 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: seen other good players come up and have to go 284 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: back and then come back again. So I don't know 285 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: how it's going to shake out, but I agree with you. 286 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: They need him to be there all year. 287 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's their guy, There's no question about it. And 288 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: one of the thing that I go back to, and 289 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: I think about this a lot, speed usually does not slump, 290 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: and the fact that he has that piece, as long 291 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 3: as he's making like fairly consistent contact, he can put 292 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 3: himself in a position to be productive even when he's struggling. 293 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 3: And so you know, he's got he's got some weapons 294 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 3: in his body, in his overall makeup and his natural 295 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 3: ability that might help him stay out of long term slumps. 296 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: Uh didn't get a chance to put all these tweets 297 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 2: on screen for so this is from on Facebook Karen 298 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: asks says, what players should I watch in spring training? 299 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: While so many are away at the WBC? Is there 300 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 2: anybody that's caught your right? That's a great question, Karen. 301 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: Anybody that you guys would recommend that fans take a 302 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: look at besides the obvious. I guess. 303 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: You know it intrigues me a little bit of this 304 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: is this Dylan Moore, who has a lot of big 305 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: league time with Seattle. I could see him being on 306 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: the opening day roster. He plays a ton of positions. 307 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: There's some value in that. You know, you might see 308 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: a little more of Edmundo Sosa. He's always a I mean, 309 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: I know fans are quite familiar with him, but he's 310 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: always an exciting guy to watch play. If Scott keeps 311 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: swaying at the way he has been, he'll be fun 312 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: to watch this month. I'm sure there's somebody I'm missing 313 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: on the on the pitching side, maybe in the bullpen. 314 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: Uh Bacchus has been a good looking, uh funky lefty. 315 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: Could see him becoming an important part and an important 316 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: part of this bullpen. So those might be some guys 317 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: to take a peek at. And I'm sure at some 318 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: point somebody will come from the minor league complex and 319 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: uh and give you a little cameo as well. 320 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Auto Kemp situation, that'll be interesting 321 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: to watch whether he becomes like the guy that they 322 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: want him to be as far as a hitter what 323 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 3: they think he can be, but he's got to perform. 324 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 3: I think that's a big one. At some point, we're 325 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 3: hopeful to get uh Aiden Miller out there to watch 326 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 3: him play. I think that's an important one. He's got 327 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 3: that back issue right now and I think he's starting 328 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: to improve, but he's not alway there. So it's been 329 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 3: a back issue that's been bothering for a while and 330 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 3: that'll be intriguing. I like to see Franconis get on 331 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: the field as well. I mean, the guy's got some power. 332 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: He's a beast. I was standing next to him yesterday. Man, 333 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 3: he's a monster and uh and he's got a lot 334 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 3: of powers, had a lot of success against right handers. Uh, 335 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 3: he could factor in it point. Hopefully he gets opportunities 336 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 3: to play. And the one very intriguing piece of a 337 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 3: battle that's going to be happening is the Marshawn Garrett 338 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: Stubbs one. I mean you know that that backup catcher situation, 339 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 3: I think that Marshawan probably has the edge right now, 340 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 3: but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to be 341 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 3: the guy. So that's uh, either one of those guys 342 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 3: have have options, and I you know, I'm fearful that, 343 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 3: uh one of those guys is going to get lost. 344 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 3: And the question is a Phillies, You're gonna have to 345 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: decide who's best to be on the team and who 346 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 3: are they more feel fearful of losing on the waiver wire. 347 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 2: Great point. Dave Dombrowski mentioned that on Saturday as well. 348 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: He talked about the catching depth and you know, with 349 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: with the tough decision coming forward with with Stubbs and Marshaan. 350 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 2: Kyle Beckets has been kind of an interesting guy. You know. 351 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: They they they liked him from Arizona because his side 352 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: arm delivery. They haven't had a guy like that in 353 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,479 Speaker 2: several years. He's working on a change up and he 354 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 2: also added about ten to fifteen pounds of muscle in 355 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: the offseason because he only his fastball is like ninety 356 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: ninety one and I think he flashed like a ninety 357 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 2: four the other day, just one and he says, listen, 358 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 2: I'm not really looking to like hit ninety four. What 359 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: I'm trying to do is to just maintain ninety one 360 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 2: ninety two throughout the entire season, because he felt like 361 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: last year, in years past, he would lose so much weight, 362 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 2: he would lose some velo. And so he throws the 363 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 2: side arm. He throws ninety ninety one. But he also 364 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: has like this insane extension to the plate, so the 365 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 2: ball looks a little bit faster coming out of the hand. 366 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: So he's just kind of a cool. 367 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: Different type of guy to watch going forward. So this 368 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: is an unusual and I didn't see I'm going to 369 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: see what you guys have to say here. This is 370 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: from Jim Slade on X What players amazing Spring Training? 371 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: Comes to mind? That added up to nothing? What player's 372 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 2: horrendous spring training? Do you recall that was followed by 373 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: a hot start to the regular season, And he says, 374 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 2: I think of Scott monning Hoff for the first category. 375 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 2: Could you he was. 376 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: That's when my dad was way back in those days 377 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 3: when Dallas and Paul Owens and Ruben Tomorrow Senior were 378 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: part of the front office there, And uh yes, Scott 379 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 3: Munninghoff he was a big time prospect too. It's really 380 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: great and didn't I I think that of the latter one, 381 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 3: I would say Aaron Rowan's a big one. Aaron Rowan 382 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: was horrendous when we talked about that a lot. He 383 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 3: was horrendous. That won Spring and then he ended up 384 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: having a great year thirty home runs and you know 385 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 3: eighty RBIs or ninety RB eyes or whatever he did 386 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: Philly's in two thousand and six. 387 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: I'll give you two that had great springs and it 388 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: didn't translate with Scott Kingery. I mean he had right, 389 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: he had two of. 390 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: Them, two of them back. 391 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: He earned a lot, a lot of a lot of money. 392 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: And my first year covering the Phillies was nineteen ninety four, 393 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: and Rubin, I think you know this guy because he 394 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: went into scouting. But my first I'll never forget it. 395 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: There was a kid in camp and I think he 396 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: was a six year free ation, but he absolutely had 397 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: it off the chart spring and Jim Fragosi pronounced him 398 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: as close the quote was as close to camp miss 399 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: as you can get. And he was an outfielder named 400 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: Phil Geisler. 401 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 3: Oh I know Phil really well? 402 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, yep. I remember he left handed hitter. 403 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: He hit the ball all over the all over the 404 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: lot that spring, and I don't even think he made 405 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: it to the big leagues that year. But those are 406 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: a couple of the iron own examples. A great one. 407 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 3: Somebody I really know well myself in nineteen ninety two, 408 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: I had a all of a spring and then I 409 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 3: all of a sudden had to play every day and 410 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 3: pitchers were sticking it up. I took us there for 411 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 3: a while, so I struggled quite mightily during the season. 412 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: You were introduced to Uncle Charlie. 413 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mom, I'm coming home. They're throwing me break the balls. 414 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: God, that's great. Two spring trains that come to mind 415 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: for me. I always loved like those long shot guys 416 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 2: that all of a sudden they made the roster. I remember, 417 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 2: you know Chris cost I think it was back in 418 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: two thousand and five. He was hitting like four point 419 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: fifty all spring, and all of a sudden he was 420 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: like this, who's this guy? Who's this non roster guy? 421 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 2: And then lighton Camp was like, this guy, I actually 422 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: make the team. And I think he was going to 423 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: make the team, and then Pat and Rubin pulled the 424 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: rug out from under him and went and got David 425 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 2: Deluci like about what the day to go before opening day? 426 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: Remember that you guys got David Lucci and he guys 427 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: needed a left handed outfielders and it made sense of course. 428 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: Then you know Chris Coast eventually got up to the 429 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: big leagues and was on that eight World Series team. 430 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: And the other one was Brock Stassy. I remember he 431 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: had a great spring and he that was kind of 432 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: but that was a cool story. He was really emotional, 433 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 2: uh that day heading heading north, knowing that he had 434 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: made the big leagues. He was a long shot candidate. 435 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: So that was a great day. That was a great day. 436 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 2: That was that was that was very cool. 437 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: And you remember when Todd do you remember when the 438 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: during the pandemic they had the shutdown and then they 439 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: came back in July and they had like a mini 440 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: summer training for like two weeks and Phil Goslin lit 441 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: it up and blew away, uh, blue away, blue Way. 442 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: Neil Walker made the team the High Street Hammer from Westchester. 443 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 2: High Street Hammer. 444 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 3: Now Phil Goslin was part of the Phillies front office. 445 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, good good man. 446 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great guy. I mean, one of 447 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: the nicest guys you will ever meet. All Right, here 448 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: we go, let's do a couple more. Eric Gidney on Facebook. 449 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 2: Rob Thompson recently called this the strongest bullpen he's had, 450 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: with Juan Duran established as the closer and Alvarado back 451 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 2: from his twenty twenty five suspension. Is there a specific 452 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 2: pecking order developing for the seventh and eighth innings or 453 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: will Thompson stick to his usual matchup based philosophy. 454 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: Oh, I think he's gonna match it up in the 455 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 3: eighth inning. I think if there's lefties, he's gonna face 456 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 3: Alvarado's gonna throw him out there unless he's struggling. If 457 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 3: there's not, then he's probably gonna be, you know, the 458 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 3: right hander. I mean, it's probably gonna end up being Keller. 459 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 3: I would think that he'd love to have guys be 460 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 3: able to lock down each one of those innings. Alverado 461 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 3: in the seventh, you know, Keller in the eighth, and 462 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 3: Joe wander On in the ninth. But that doesn't normally happen. 463 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 3: It's usually you usually get to those those matchups, and 464 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: a lot of it depends on on performance. If guys 465 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 3: are locking it down, then he'll go with them. If 466 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 3: they're not, then he'll mix it up. 467 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: Agree, I agree, I agree, I agree, all right to 468 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 2: the last one. People always ask they want to know. 469 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: It's always it's always in the comments, whether we're talking 470 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 2: whatever we're talking about.
