I think 35 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna be 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: a lot of my embarrassment aside, it's going to be fun. 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 5: Uh. 38 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: Well, the Phillies had a good weekend for sure. 39 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: They they lose on Friday, so that they losing, Street 40 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: goes to five straight games. And we were talking on 41 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: Thursday's episode, we really dug into everything that was going 42 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: wrong with this team, and then we had Marked DeRosa 43 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: on Friday, which, by the way, if you haven't listened 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: to Marked Erosa episode on Friday, that was great. That 45 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: was really really good. He's put a lot of good 46 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: things in perspective. I loved what he had to say 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: about forty games into the season, Bobby Cox coming into 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: the clubhouse going all right, I let you. 49 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 5: Guys get loose. 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 2: Now it's time putting it on. So Phillies are twenty 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: eight games into the season right now. 52 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: But they win Saturday. They scored six runs and I think. 53 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: It was the fourth inning or something like that. They 54 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: won ten four, and then Aaron Nola on Sunday night 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: baseball allows one run in seven innings. They win in 56 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: extra innings three to one. Guys, what jumped out? How 57 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: big was this weekend for the Phillies. This sounds stupid, 58 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 2: but how big was this weekend? Just to kind of 59 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: get off the schneid? 60 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 6: Very big moving go on day just because we talk 61 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 6: about it all the time. Winning series is so important, 62 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 6: and they won a series. Not only do they win 63 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 6: a series, they stopped the bleeding and maybe put a 64 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 6: little tourniquet on some of the panic we're hearing in 65 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 6: the public here because you know, I know people hate 66 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 6: to hear this, but it is still early. So you 67 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 6: come out of Chicago with a series win and you 68 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 6: get an off day to reflect on it, and then 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 6: you get your ace on the Mount Tuesday, night at 70 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 6: home against the team you should annihilate the U or 71 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 6: at least the team you should win another series against 72 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 6: Washington Nationals. 73 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: So I thought it was it was really big. 74 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 6: It was really big, And the way you did it 75 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 6: Sunday night with a guy you really need to pitch well, 76 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 6: Aaron Nola doing just that, pitching really well, coming out 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 6: and out of there with a confidence booster. So all 78 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 6: in all, in my opinion, a very good weekend. 79 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, to me, it's a solid weekend, especially when you 80 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 5: finish the way they finish. 81 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: Nice flight back home, a little breather, But I think 82 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 4: more importantly, you know, they need to start getting some 83 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 4: of their mojo back, and and that's important. It means 84 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: a lot in the clubhouse when you start doing things 85 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 4: well and you're getting production out of the people that 86 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 4: you're counting on, and that that was important. And they 87 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 4: did it against a team that's been hot, it's been 88 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 4: playing good baseball and playing very well at home. 89 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 5: There's some elements to deal with. Even though Aaron Nola's 90 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 5: stuff was down, his stuff was good. He was very 91 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 5: pin point with his stuff. 92 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 4: So anyway, it was good to see some of the 93 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: things that they were doing and it's good to see 94 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: them bust out a little bit offensively to get things rolling, 95 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: and they still haven't. 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 5: Some of their big boys haven't really done a lot. 97 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: So that's huge. 98 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 6: Some of their big boys are still really look at 99 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 6: the last couple of weeks, of course, you know, hitting 100 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 6: one seventy, they they're treading water without their big guys 101 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 6: getting hot, which I still think the big boys are 102 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 6: going to get hot, so that could be a good 103 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 6: sign that they're at least surviving. 104 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jim, I remember on Thursday you said that of 105 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: all the concerns, we talked about the rotation, the bullpen, 106 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: of course, you know Nola Sanchez. You said the offense 107 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: is a concern, but that's probably the last on your 108 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: list in terms of concerns because you thought that they're 109 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: you know, I think we all kind of think they're 110 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: eventually they're gonna start up the numbers in the back 111 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 2: of their baseball cards. 112 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 3: But I still think they're going to be up and down. 113 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 6: I think their highs are going to be something to behold, 114 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 6: and their lows are going to really frustrate you. But 115 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 6: I think their highs are going to get them, get 116 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 6: them enough offense where they need to be. You need 117 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 6: that pitching starting staff to continue to do you know what, 118 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 6: it's basically done throughout this early part of the season. 119 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 6: And you need the bullpen to look like you did 120 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 6: last night Sudden in Wrigley Field bullpen was really good. 121 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 6: And then, as we've said many times, when we're getting 122 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 6: ahead of ourselves, probably they're gonna need it. They're gonna 123 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 6: need an addition out there as well. 124 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 5: No doubt. 125 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: If you like the Philly Show, you can get a 126 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: Philly Show t shirt at the Phillies Show dot com. 127 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: When we come back, we're gonna really get into Aaron 128 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: Nola and a few other things that happened this weekend. 129 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 7: If you want a razor that looks good, makes you 130 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 7: look good, gets the shave done, and doesn't cost much. 131 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: Uh oh oh is it nice? 132 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 8: That's Harry John and you can smell it too. 133 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 5: Smell it.

He goes 150 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: into the game zho to five with a six four 151 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: to three er. Everybody's freaking out about it, and and uh, 152 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: if you're not freaking out about it, you're concerned as 153 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: we were because he's Aaron Nola and he's own five 154 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: with a six four three er. But Sunday Night against 155 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: the cub seven innings, three hits, one run, one walk, 156 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: six strikeouts, ninety nine pitches, seventy three strikes, And so 157 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: I saw that strike's number. I go, that's a lot 158 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: of strikes. That's a lot of strikes. And it was 159 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: his highest strike percentage in a game since July fourth, 160 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, So he was filling up the strike zone, 161 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: getting a lot of strikes. His fastball fourcing faul ball 162 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: nine average ninety one point eight miles an hour, down 163 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: from last year, but up from what it was in 164 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: his first five starts, so it started to creep up 165 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: a little bit, almost a full mile an hour. He 166 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: got a season high sixteen swings and misses, and really 167 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: just what everybody wanted to see. 168 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 6: No doubt, I was encouraged that you mentioned, you know, 169 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 6: his stuff was up. Everything was up, not necessarily compared 170 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 6: to last year, but compared to his first five starts, 171 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 6: so things are trending in the right direction. I would 172 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 6: still label him a concern. One good game does not 173 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 6: signal a turnaround for me, but it can certainly be 174 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 6: the start of something. He was you know when you know, 175 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 6: when you look at the strikeout, see he was down 176 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 6: on the zone with excellent movement on the change up, 177 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 6: excellent movement on breaking ball down, down, down. He threw 178 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 6: some really good cutters and sixteen swing and misses is 179 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 6: nothing to nice little telltale that the stuff is up, 180 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 6: and the stuff is you know, giving guys trouble. So 181 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 6: I was really encouraged. I'd like to see him put 182 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 6: another one, you know, back to back. Just very impressive 183 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 6: character that he doesn't panic. He's kept it together and 184 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 6: delivered a big ball game on a big stage for 185 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 6: that team last night. 186 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 3: So it has to be a confidence builder. 187 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: So here's I look at trends, and I'll be honest 188 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: with you, I don't He wasn't nearly as sharp in 189 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 4: the New York series. 190 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 5: In the New York game, but he came in. 191 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 4: He actually had Topper taken him out in the sixth inning, 192 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 4: and they had a full compliment and more confidence in 193 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: the bullpen at the time. At the time, he probably 194 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 4: would not gone out for the seventh sure, and Topper 195 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: pushed him because he had he was short in his bullpen, 196 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: and he was short in a couple of different ways. 197 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 4: And then he backed it up with this, and I 198 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 4: see a trend of him be getting better and better. 199 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 4: He did make two mistakes, two or three mistakes, big mistakes. 200 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 4: One he didn't cost him. There was a foul ball 201 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 4: in the Met's game, but you saw the sharpness starting 202 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 4: to come back. And while he wasn't nearly as sharp 203 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: as he was on on Sunday night, I felt like 204 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 4: he's starting to trend forward, and that's really important for 205 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: Aaron Nola that he's not trending backwards because that's when you. 206 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 5: Feel that the bullets are starting to run out. 207 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 4: And I don't think the bullets are running out yet, 208 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 4: at least my observation of what I saw last night 209 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 4: was a cold night. Again, there was weather involved, but 210 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 4: I think it's just him building innings and building his 211 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 4: arm strength and stuff like that. For whatever reason, it's 212 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 4: taken him a little while to get going, but he 213 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 4: was really. 214 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 5: Crisp with this stuff. The ball was coming out of 215 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 5: his hand. 216 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 4: Well, I don't get as concerned about velocities as I 217 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: do about the swings that guys are taking against you 218 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 4: and the actual life in the strikes. And when I 219 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: saw I saw finish. I saw, especially with breaking ball. 220 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 4: I saw a good change up, good arm speed on 221 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 4: his change up. And you said it, Jim, that that 222 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 4: cutter when you have finish. You know, when you have 223 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: movement in the zone, that's when you know you have 224 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 4: finish on your on your pitches and you're letting it 225 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: go and you're confident about the fact that the guy is. 226 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 5: Has has the right stuff. 227 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: So I was very felt very I'm feeling good about 228 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: his progression and uh, and hopefully that will continue. 229 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: Against the good lineup. That was a good Cubs lineup. 230 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 6: The Cubs lineup, he's going to face another good lineup 231 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 6: in Arizona and his next start at Citizens Bank Park, 232 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 6: and one. 233 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 5: That's going to be aggressive as well. 234 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: Both of you guys mentioned his cutter and they were 235 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: talking a lot about his color. I can't remember the 236 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: bat last night. I feel like it was maybe Dansby Swanson. 237 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: He threw like back to back cutters, maybe off the 238 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: plate and Dansby Chase both of them. I believe it 239 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: was Dansby Swanson. If not, I apologize, but uh. He 240 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: had six swings and misses on his cutter last night, 241 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: Sunday night, and that was one off his career high 242 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: for in his entire careerings and misses off the cutters. 243 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: So he had a really good cutter going and I thought, 244 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys caught this. Edward de Perez, 245 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: I believe, said during the broadcast that he had talked 246 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: to some people and thought maybe Aaron Nola was getting 247 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: too predictable in the amount of curveballs he's been throwing. 248 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: He's been throwing a ton, and he threw a little 249 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: bit less than he had in. 250 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: His previous two starts. 251 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: His previous two starts he was like thirty five percent curveballs, 252 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 2: almost forty percent curveballs, and in his last two starts, 253 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: and it was under thirty on Sunday night. So maybe 254 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: something there with the cutter being a little bit more effective. 255 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 4: Most of the most important thing about Aaron is that 256 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 4: if the stuff is down a notch and people have 257 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 4: seen him so many years and so many times and 258 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 4: so many multiples of times, that he may have to 259 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 4: change his patterns, may have to change his overall mixed 260 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 4: pitch mix, and you know he's gonna have to get 261 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 4: sharper in another pitch. I mean, he can't just go 262 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 4: with his sinker and his breaking ball. He's gonna have 263 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 4: to have you know, he's gonna have to have quality 264 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 4: with his offbeat stuff, meaning his change up and his cutter. 265 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 5: Those two pitches have to be real pitches for. 266 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 4: Him for him to be effective, because he needs something 267 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: to take him off the two pitches that he that 268 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: he utilizes the most, which is a sinker and his 269 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 4: breaking ball. 270 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 6: So if if edwater Perez is saying that, you know 271 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 6: that he was becoming too particulable with the breaking ball. 272 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 6: He heard that out of the Phillies clubhouse. Somebody with 273 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 6: the Philly staff told. 274 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 5: Him that maybe I'm sure. 275 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 6: I'm sure, and that's the way they're they're feeling in 276 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 6: the inner sanctum. So, you know what, they made an 277 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 6: adjustment and he found some success with it. But he's 278 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 6: gonna need a full mix of pitches and good spots. 279 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 6: He's gonna, really, we always call Iron know a more 280 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 6: pitcher than thrower. He's a true pitcher. He's gonna have 281 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 6: to even become more of a pitcher. He's gonna have 282 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 6: to really have a full rep Betoire put it in 283 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 6: good spots, and I say, still, I know guys in 284 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 6: this the are they like to come up on the zone. 285 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 6: But he's a guy who has to make his living. 286 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 6: To me at the knees with an occasional you know 287 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 6: hunt of strikeout up top. But really good performance last night. 288 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 5: Totally agree. 289 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 4: And I think about Nola and I talked about this before, 290 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 4: but I feel like he's at the end of his career. 291 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 4: He's gonna have to be Zach Granky. He's gonna have 292 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: to be Jim Big game shields. He's gonna be at 293 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 4: that guy. He's gonna have to be able to mix 294 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: up pitches in a different way, in different patterns, and 295 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 4: exploit weaknesses and do those sorts of things to have success. 296 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 5: And listen, if. 297 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 4: He can roll off six solid innings, then he's done 298 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 4: his job, especially at this point in his career where he's, 299 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 4: you know what, ten or eleven years into his career, 300 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 4: and he's all the bullets that he's fired. 301 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: Totally great, you know. 302 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: Speaking of something else that the broadcast crew heard maybe 303 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: before the game in the clubhouse when Jordan Romano goes 304 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: out for the tenth inning again, I believe it was 305 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: Edward opress is. You know, he's been really struggling. We 306 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: know this, We've talked about it, right, but he said 307 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: Rob Thompson thinks that he might have been tipping his 308 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: pitch pitches or was tipping his pitches, which. 309 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 3: Is Ruban has said that, Ruben has said that something. 310 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've talked about that, him tipping his pitches. And 311 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: then he goes out Jordan Romano in the tenth inning 312 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: and throws a nice clean inning, and man, I could 313 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: not help but think how big as big as it 314 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: was for Aaron Nola to go out on Sunday night 315 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: and pitch well against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, man, 316 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: was it big for Jordan Romano to go out there 317 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: and pitch a scoreless sitting in the tenth in a 318 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: game that would help you win a series because he 319 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: has been so bad this season, and I just think 320 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: that that is must be a huge confidence boost for him, 321 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: especially coming off the game he had in the series 322 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: finale against the Matts last week. 323 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 6: You gotta be the fact that Rob went to him. 324 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: That's what I thought, the same thing. I'm like, here 325 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: we go. 326 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: Everybody's if he's spits this up, man, he's gonna be uh, 327 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: you know, third. 328 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: Fourth, fifth, guest. But but Romano got the job done. 329 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 5: That's what I believe. 330 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 4: That's why I believe Rob Thompson, And I guess he's 331 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: taken a lot of heat out there publicly. That's why 332 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 4: I believe Rob Thompson is the best manager in baseball 333 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 4: because he tries to breed confidence in players even when 334 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 4: they're not confident. It's pretty clear that Jordan Romato didn't 335 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 4: know what the hell he was doing, Like, what the 336 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 4: hell's going on, and for him to put him in 337 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 4: that situation and allow him to thrive. I think that's 338 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 4: what separates he from other guys. It'd be so easy 339 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 4: for me to just say, you know what, if I 340 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 4: was a manager, this guy can't get anybody out. He 341 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: has no you know, I'm not I'm not putting him 342 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 4: in a game. Well, he understands the psyche of a player. 343 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 4: He understands the fact that they need him. They're gonna 344 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 4: have to have them. They need this man to be good. 345 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: And how do I make this guy good? I got 346 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 4: to give him the confidence to give him opportunities to 347 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 4: get there. And the whole tipping pitches thing, I think 348 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 4: it's real. I think the other part of it was 349 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 4: I think his mechanics were left up early in the 350 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 4: season and that's why he was struggling. So it was 351 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 4: a combination of him getting his footing in Philadelphia, his 352 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 4: mechanics being screwed up, tipping pitches. 353 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 5: He had all types of these. 354 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 4: Things working against him. For whatever reason. You know, he's 355 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 4: coming back from injury, he hadn't been pitching. There's a 356 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 4: lot of things going on. Maybe he didn't get enough 357 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 4: reps or they were being careful with him in spring training. 358 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 5: He needs to be good. 359 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 4: And I also will say this, and I believe this 360 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 4: in my heart of hearts. It puts Rob Thompson in 361 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 4: a tough position because of this, He's gonna have to 362 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 4: pitch important innings, and the fact that he has to 363 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 4: put a pitch important innings may. 364 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 5: Have to push him in the ninth, eighth and ninth. 365 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 4: Because hitters get tents and his deception, his all the 366 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 4: things that he does, his antics on the field. 367 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 5: I think it screws up the hitter a little bit. 368 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 4: And in the ninth, as opposed to the eighth, I 369 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 4: think it creates more ants to the hitter. 370 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 5: And you saw lots of swings and misses. 371 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 4: Man, they were missing pitches and missing pitches that other 372 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 4: teams had been hitting. And so for whatever reason, whether 373 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 4: they didn't know what was coming or whether it was 374 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 4: you know, anxiety of the hitter, you know you may 375 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 4: have to put him in those tight situations because he's 376 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 4: the type of pitcher who sort of thrives. 377 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 5: Off of that. 378 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 4: Whether it's the whether it's him on the mound or 379 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 4: it's the hitter, he needs to be in the tight 380 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 4: I think for him to feel comfortable, which is weird. 381 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 4: But there's a lot of guys who were you know, 382 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 4: born the pitch in the ninth, eighth, and ninth, especially 383 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 4: the ninth, and so Alvarado's really their closure. 384 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 5: He's our best guy, there's no question about it. 385 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 4: So it puts Rob Thompson in a tough position and hopefully, 386 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 4: you know, hopefully the next time he comes in, he 387 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 4: can pitch in the eighth and he pitches well, and 388 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 4: uh when there's not as much angst on the hitter. 389 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 5: Just a thought that I. 390 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 3: And Alvarado and Kirkery were both good. 391 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: That was good. 392 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 4: Kirkery needs to be that good. He needs to be 393 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 4: able to throw that sinker. You talked about it before, Jim. 394 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 4: That's got to be affected with that sinker. It's got 395 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 4: He's got to be able to throw the ball both ways, 396 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 4: sink it and and slide it. 397 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 6: That's why Romano was in the tenth because they use 398 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 6: those two guys. But he got an opportunity in the title. 399 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 5: I said ninth, but I said, I mean he's in 400 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 5: a safe situation. 401 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, run around the second base, that's tough. Tough. 402 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: I mean I detest to run around second base thing, because. 403 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, to me, the game is all about you excuse me, 404 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 6: we paid The game is all about getting the battback. 405 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 3: How can I get to first base? 406 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 6: And they and for a pitcher, how can I prevent 407 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 6: this guy from getting the And they pay guys big 408 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 6: money to get to first pace a lot, and they 409 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 6: pay guys big money to prevent. 410 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 3: Guys from getting to first pace. 411 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 6: Now I'm going to take you the hardest thing in 412 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 6: one of the hardest things in the game, getting to 413 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 6: first pace, and I'm gonna drop you right on second base. 414 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 6: I mean, it's not baseball, but it does get you 415 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 6: out of there earlier. 416 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 3: So in some ways I do like it for. 417 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 5: Us folks, the broadcasters and media. Guy's great, move that 418 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 5: game along. 419 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: I enjoy it. I enjoy it out of there earlier. 420 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 3: You don't have a fourteen inning game, remember, Oh my god. 421 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: But we'll see that that's the thing the game. 422 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 5: They'll be using it in the playoffs too, and they're 423 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 5: not doing that. 424 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, that would be terrible. 425 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: But I always say, people say, like, well, what you know, 426 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: you're not. 427 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: Going to get that. 428 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 2: Wilson Valdez pitches a scoreless eighteenth inning game anymore. Okay, okay, 429 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 2: that happens a cool moment like that, a fun, silly moment. 430 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: I think that happens once every eight thousand extra inning games. 431 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: The other how many just go on and on. So 432 00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm a fan. 433 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 3: I'll ever at that game. 434 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 6: Talking to Wilson the next day, he said his I 435 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 6: think his wife was with his mother or his wife 436 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 6: called his mother and says, Wilson is pitching. 437 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 5: So can I just say something about this? And this 438 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 5: is a broader picture. 439 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 4: We could talk about this forever, but I think it 440 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 4: sort of helps perpetuate. I think the reason why they 441 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 4: had to do this is because the people were running 442 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 4: out of pitching. Well, you don't run out of pitching 443 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 4: if you don't have your pitchers throw as hard as 444 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 4: they possibly can every single pitch and spinning as far 445 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 4: as you can, and you develop players who can pitch 446 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 4: and throw strikes and get out in a different way 447 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 4: in the bullpen. And so we built guys with velocity 448 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: and spin that are breaking and not able to recover. 449 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 4: So that's the reason why you don't have enough pitching. 450 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 4: You literally have thirteen pictures. In my day, they had 451 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 4: nine pitcher, four starters, and five relievers. I mean we've 452 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 4: developed you know, I. 453 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 5: Think the baseball game of baseball, it developed players who 454 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 5: just can't pitch enough. And you know, we put ourselves. 455 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 4: In a in a position to have to put a 456 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 4: guy at second base because of it. 457 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 5: That's the reason. 458 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Now you couldn't even I mean a gosh, if 459 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 2: a game went fifteen to sixteen innings for the Phillies, 460 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 2: you wonder like, how the heck can they possibly piece 461 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 2: that together? 462 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 6: They just well, but when that happens, it started because 463 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 6: of COVID. They wanted to They didn't want people hanging 464 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 6: around the ballparks and guys hanging around the clubhouses for 465 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 6: fourteen innings. But when you do have that fourteen inning 466 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 6: and you deplete your bullpen, to me, that becomes a 467 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 6: test of your entire organization. 468 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 5: Uh. 469 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 6: You know, you're you're gonna have to make a move 470 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 6: the next day, your your front office is gonna be 471 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 6: out on top of it. You're gonna have to get 472 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 6: a picture there. It's a test of your traveling secretary, 473 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 6: can you get a guy into the town. It's a 474 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 6: test of your minor league depth, of the of the 475 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 6: pitching depth you have built. 476 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: So you know, I still think you know, it. 477 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 6: Helps measure an organization when you when you deplete, Okay, 478 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 6: how strong are you? 479 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 3: How can you react? 480 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 5: How can you as to go further into the Are 481 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 5: you resilient? 482 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 6: Can you recover from a fourteen inning game on a 483 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 6: Wednesday night and still have enough pitching for the weekend. 484 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 6: It's a real test to your entire organization. That said, 485 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 6: being around there for fourteen innings in the press box 486 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 6: does suck. So it's part of me that likes it. 487 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: You know what sucks? What doesn't suck? Those when it 488 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: is an extra inning game and they deliver pizza to 489 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: the press box. 490 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, baby, pizza the press box? 491 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 5: It is. 492 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: It is our first episode of the week, Manco and 493 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: Manco Best Week.

We talked about it a lot. There's some 508 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 4: other guys maybe to pick who started swinging the bats 509 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 4: a little bit, but I'll let maybe you guys pick 510 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 4: some other guys. But I think it was important for 511 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 4: him to. 512 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 5: To step forward. 513 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 4: And uh so, I'm gonna go with my man, Aaron 514 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 4: Nola and be a front runner because I did draft well, 515 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 4: I didn't draft him, but Martin Wulliver drafted him. 516 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 3: Rat you guys, it's a team effort. 517 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: You could have put the kaibash on that one, but 518 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 2: you you made the right call. Uh yeah, so that's 519 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 2: a great one. 520 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: Obviously, Aaron Nola was tremendous. 521 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I'm gonna go a little outside the 522 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: box here because I loved what he said about it 523 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: after the game. I'm gonna go with Max Kepler. And 524 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: why are you saying why Max? Why Max Kepler for 525 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 2: Manco Manco best week? Well, Max Kepler, he Homer, he 526 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 2: hit the phillies only homer. 527 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 5: Of the weekend. 528 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: But he also had a little bloop single that got 529 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 2: the Phillies six run inning going on Saturday in their 530 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: ten to four win over the Cubs. And afterward he 531 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: said something I have not seen in print in a while. 532 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: He said, me and JT had some duck fart knocks 533 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 2: and then we opened it up. 534 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: So as a. 535 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: Reporter, I always appreciate a good colorful quote and a 536 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 2: good performance by Max shows what you can do when 537 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: he's put the bat on the ball and you get 538 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: a little bit of luck, you know. I think a 539 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: lot of people were thinking that the Phillies might get 540 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 2: out of that little funk they were in by hitting 541 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: a couple bombs at Wrigley Field, But no, it was 542 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: a couple of duck fart knocks on Saturday to help. 543 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: Him to a much needed win. 544 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: So my manco mango best week the duck farts and 545 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 2: in Saturday's win, I. 546 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 5: Will say something about JT as well, that poor guy's hit. 547 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 4: He really has hit some screamers that some people of late, 548 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 4: and he really needed it. I mean, he's he has 549 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 4: not had the greatest start to the season, but he's 550 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 4: hit some balls on. 551 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 5: The screws over the last couple of weeks. 552 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 4: Man, a little like what was Bone was going through 553 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: a little bit earlier. But it's nice to see him 554 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 4: flip a couple in there. 555 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was Wednesday, Wednesday. 556 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 5: It was. 557 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: I keep saying Thursday they played the Mets, but it 558 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: was Wednesday. But yeah, I think that Wednesday game. Rubin 559 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: Yet JT hit a couple of rockets three or four four, Yeah, 560 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 2: over one hundred miles now and they were all caught. 561 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he must have been ready to bash his head 562 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: into the wall. 563 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 6: I like what you said. You know that inning. I 564 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 6: like what you said. It shows what can happen when 565 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 6: you put the bat on the ball. They just you know, 566 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 6: they found some holes. They hit a lot of singles, 567 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 6: they count, especially with runners on base. They strunk together 568 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 6: a really good inning. And none of us is picked. 569 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 6: And I'm not picking him either, but just a hat 570 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 6: tip to hey us WLIZARDO. They're four and two in 571 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 6: his starts. He's got a sub to e ra A. 572 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 5: He's picking out, mixing up because I've been picking on 573 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 5: the last time. 574 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 3: Yes, and I'm mixing it up too. 575 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 6: I'm not picking him I come to I come to 576 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 6: expect that from him. 577 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 3: Nice, I am U. 578 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 6: I'm going to go down on the farm and I'm 579 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 6: going to pick Justin Crawford. What a week he had, 580 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 6: hit four hundred, He had like four multi hit games, 581 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 6: smacking a lot of doubles around the around the patch. 582 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 6: So he's he's my guy. I thought he had a 583 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 6: nice week down there and just. 584 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 5: Trying to bring to the big leagues gym. Is he ready? 585 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm not doing that. 586 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 6: No. I I like the fact that he's having some 587 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 6: success where he is, and I think he needs some 588 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 6: time there. But I'd certainly take the success over not 589 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 6: having the success. It looks like he's swinging it pretty good. 590 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 6: But our focus obviously obviously the league team, but we 591 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 6: think maybe later on in twenty twenty five or twenty six, 592 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 6: he could be an important guy here, So keeping a 593 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 6: half an eyeball on him. 594 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: And he had. 595 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 6: A really nice week, so he's uh. I give him 596 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 6: a slice of the man Co Manco pie, which I'm 597 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 6: going to feature one on Tuesday, United Citizens Bank Park. 598 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 4: Good for you, hey, I just want to say one 599 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 4: thing you said about these infield hit by Trey Turner 600 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 4: with their muhan I guess backing up on the ball. 601 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 3: That was a big, big hit. 602 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 5: That might have been the biggest hit of the of. 603 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 4: The weekend, just because it gave Momano some breathing room. 604 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 5: Got that second run in. 605 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 4: You always want to try to score two runs in 606 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 4: that situation in extra innings, if you're the if you're 607 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 4: the lead team. 608 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 3: That second run is huge in extra innings. 609 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 5: It's gigantic, especially for the away team. 610 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 4: And so for him to bust it down the line 611 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 4: and beat that play out, that was large and a 612 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: little bit of a mental mistake by the third base, 613 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 4: but we'll take it if you're a Philly fan. 614 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 5: And that was I just wanted to mention that as well. 615 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was Yeah, that was a huge, 616 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 2: huge play And he was flying on the line too. 617 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 5: Yeah. 618 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: I looked up his his sprint speed. I think it 619 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: was like thirty one point four. 620 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: That was his fastest recorded sprint speed of the season 621 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: just on that. 622 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was flying. 623 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 2: He found that extra gear Trey Turner did, so all right, 624 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: that was great. That was Manco Mango best week. Let's 625 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 2: a couple other things real quick, and then before we 626 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: go Ranger Suarez through four and a third innings on 627 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: Sunday for Triple A Lehigh Valley, gave up a run, 628 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: two walks, struck out eight. The Phillies have not announced 629 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: what will happen next, but his next start could be. 630 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: In the big leagues now. 631 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: Rob Thompson says he wants him to get the ninety 632 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: ninety five pitches before that, so me, I guess they 633 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: could bring him back or have him make one more 634 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 2: rehab start, But that's gonna be interesting to see what 635 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: happens on Christopher Sanchez threw a bullpen on Sunday and 636 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 2: apparently felt okay. So I really can't wait to see 637 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: what how this all shakes out. You have Sanchez seems 638 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 2: to be okay. They seem to have dodged a bullet. 639 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 2: We think Suarez seems to be ready to come back. 640 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 2: Taiwan Walker has thrown the ball really well in five starts. 641 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's. 642 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: Done a great job. How are they going to handle this? 643 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: I don't know, but they have some decisions to make 644 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 2: in the next week in terms of how they set 645 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: up their rotation. 646 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: They have nothing set. 647 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: They have not announced any plans beyond Tuesday Starter, Jim, 648 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 2: as you said at the top of the show, which 649 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: is Zach Wheeler on Tuesday Night. 650 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: So I don't know you have any continues. 651 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 4: I mean, because so Mu's knocked off the roster. Once 652 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 4: Suarez gets here, it's going to be either Hernandez or 653 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 4: perhaps Ruiz, and it will be interesting to see who 654 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 4: gets knocked off because they're gonna slide, probably gonna either piggyback, 655 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 4: you know, utilize. I think that they're probably gonna end 656 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 4: up piggybacking Taiwan Walker with either Suarez or Sanchez or 657 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 4: maybe both somehow, And I don't know how they're gonna 658 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 4: like work that out, but that's what it seems like 659 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 4: they probably will do. 660 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 5: I'm just you know, speaking out of the air right now, 661 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 5: just as. 662 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 4: An observer and uh, and it will be really interesting 663 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 4: to see where they go. 664 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 5: It'd be it's It's. 665 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 4: One of the things that I loved about being a 666 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 4: GM is putting a jigjigsaw puzzle together. I know that 667 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 4: typically they have things work themselves out right, but sometimes 668 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 4: they don't, and you have to make some roster moves 669 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 4: to to work around it in some decisions to be cool. 670 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, better. 671 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 5: You're gonna be right now. 672 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: This might be a few days premature. 673 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 6: We don't know if Ranger's coming back, but this is 674 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 6: a big, big storyline how this guy pitches. It's a 675 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 6: big storyline for the twenty twenty five Phillies, and it's 676 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 6: a big storyline for Ranger Suarez and his future as 677 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 6: he reaches free agency after this season.
