1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Bryce Harper and welcome to the Philly Show.

2
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Hi, everybody, Welcome to the Philly Show with Ruben Tomorrow, Junior,

3
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: Jim Saulisbury, Todd's a lucky It's Monday, August nineteenth, twenty

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: twenty four. Fellas, Uh, hey did you?

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: First of all, did you miss me? Because the last.

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Week we missed you.

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 2: We missed you on Friday.

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: Curious see, I was doing some kind of charity thing.

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what else doing hold on assignment.

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: You're helping people, helping people, just like Jim.

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 3: Was on a center right now, that's right.

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: On disclosed location.

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Super secret, super secret Jim, super secret Jim on. Remember

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: bat gass when they used to take the guy to

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: the bat cave and have to spray with gas so

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: we wouldn't know where he was.

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: Remember that, That's what you had to do that with us,

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: and we didn't know where you were.

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: The angle boy going to work.

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: The angle boy. That's yes, you were once known as

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: the angle boy. I was coming up with an angle.

22
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 4: I it was a compliment, man, I I I think,

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 4: I I think, I don't. I don't know if it's

24
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: me or Ed Wade dubbed that on you the angle boy,

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 4: always taking an angle, looking for an angle.

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: That was good. I loved it. You should take it

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 3: as a compliment. You were the angle boy, amongst other things.

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: You were a different type of a scout at times

29
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: too very good.

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know this is actually Ruben You mcgra made

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: a great segue speaking of angle because uh uh, David

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Montgomery was honored this week. We're going to get into

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: all of the weekend stuff in a second, but I

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: just I do want to touch on this first. David

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: Montgomery was honored placed on the Wall of Fame, and

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: they named the angled wall in left centered field, which

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: was his idea because he wanted to create action and

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: it certainly did. They named it Monty's Angle. So you

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: guys have any thoughts on just naming that wall after

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: David and just David getting on the Wall of Fame.

41
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Jim and I we talked about it a

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: lot on Friday.

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 3: It's cool week.

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, Monty obviously was his nickname,

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: and for them to honor him in that way pretty

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 4: darn special. I mean, he was a special man, and

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 4: I think everybody knows what he meant to me as

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: a person. And as a mentor and a leader. I

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: mean he basically in a lot of ways hired me twice,

50
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 4: once with Ed Wade when I became the assistant GM,

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 4: but again and I think they sort of collaborated on that,

52
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: and then again when Pat Gaelick was decided to retire

53
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: and I became the GM. And David was just a

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: great mentor, a great person. And I can't say enough

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: positive things about what he meant to the organization, what

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: he meant to Philadelphia, and what he meant to a

57
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: lot of people around baseball. Because MLB is a better

58
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 4: place because of David Montgomery. It's as simple as that.

59
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: I think Rob Manford would say the same thing that

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: in a lot of ways, David's influence permeated throughout the game.

61
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: It was a fun weekend seeing all those guys. Yeah,

62
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: go ahead, Jim No.

63
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I just thought it was very cool to see them

64
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: name that part of the stadium Monte's Angle, because he

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: was so impactful in designing that area of the stadium,

66
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: designing the stadium, spearheading the building of the stadium, which

67
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, was a complete game changer for this franchise,

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: and it still is. You look at the impact the

69
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: fans have playoff games Game six and seven last year. Notwithstanding,

70
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: people still love coming to that place, love making a

71
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of noise, and they love when they have a

72
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: winning product on the field. And so yeah, it was

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: really Uh, it was great to see David get what

74
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I thought was a very worthy honor. I think he

75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: belongs up there with all the franchise icons because I

76
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: believe he was one of them.

77
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: It's a cool weekend. It was fun to see, you know,

78
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: had a chance to talk with like Brad Ledge and

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: Chew ch and Ran and Aaron Rohan a little bit

80
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: and Rubin. You saw all those guys probably in the

81
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: suite and with all the cool alumni activities that were

82
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: going on. It was a very fun weekend. Could have

83
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: been a perfect weekend. But the Phillies lose on Sunday,

84
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: and the thing everybody's talking about, guys is the ninth

85
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: inning Billies are down two runs. They get the leadoff

86
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 2: guy on, but bring the tiny man to the plate

87
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: and Cal Stevenson grounds into a double play and Garrett

88
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: Stubbs grounds out to end the game. And afterwards, Rob

89
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: Thompson has asked what about Bryce Harper and J. T.

90
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: Real Muto, They're sitting on the bench, he says, not

91
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: using him there, and it gave him a day off.

92
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking about the long term here, and uh,

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: you know, I understand a lot of the moves the

94
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: managers makes, but this one is kind of a head scratch,

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: or at least keeping holding Harper in the dugout not

96
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: using him. I you know, I think I would have

97
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: used him in one of those two spots. Am I.

98
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm out of line? But am I

99
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: missing something? Am I missing the angle here?

100
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: What do you got, Jim I, I don't think you're

101
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: missing the angle. I think it was a major part

102
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: of the story. If the story of that game, also

103
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: with the bullpen giving it up late bullpen is I

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: would say concern what we've seen, But I think you

105
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: think there's a lot to it. Yeah, I would have

106
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: loved to have seen Bryce Harper grew up there against

107
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: the right hander and have a hack with a man

108
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: on base. And you know, the old school in me

109
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: believes if you have a uniform on, you should be

110
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: ready to or you should be eligible or ready to

111
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: contribute and compete that day. But I also understand the

112
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: way the game is played now with sports science and

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: the emphasis on things like recovery and the emphasis on

114
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: manager player communication, communication being the most important job that

115
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: a manager has. You know, I believe these off days

116
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: were probably planned out previously, several days in advance, with

117
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: a mind toward getting them two days off before a

118
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: thirteen game stretch where Harper's not going to probably sit

119
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: at all and JD might sit once. So they wanted

120
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: to follow through on those off days, especially with JT

121
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: keeping him fresh. If you pinch hit one of them,

122
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: there is a chance they have to go in the field.

123
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Very It would have been very hard for me not

124
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: to send Hopper up there, though, because I'm trying to

125
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: finish a weekend with a four game sweep, and you know,

126
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: he's obviously a lethal hitter can change things with one swing.

127
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: I just firmly believe Rob Thompson puts a real premium

128
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: on communication and a real premium premium on his wood,

129
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he told these guys in the days

130
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: before that you're getting Sunday. You're getting Sunday off, no

131
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: offense or butts, and that affects their entire day from

132
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: the time they get out of bed and the time

133
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: they show up to the ballpark, how they go through

134
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: their pregame stretch, if they even do that. So if

135
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: they're available and thinking they might pinch hit, they're getting

136
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: a stretch, They're getting time in the batting cage throughout

137
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: that game. And it's not really a day off. It's

138
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: not really what the organization wants. It's not really what Thompson,

139
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: his staff and sports science people have probably prescribed. So

140
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: I just I just think there's an awful lot to

141
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: it beyond just in the moment, grab a bat and

142
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: go up there, and I think they're looking. I think

143
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: maybe their mindset is different if they don't have this cushion.

144
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying I agree with the decision. I

145
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: would have been very tempted to say, Bryce, go aheit

146
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: a home run. But I understand it. I understand how

147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: the game operates these days.

148
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: I think you hit the nail right on the head, Jim.

149
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any question about it, except I

150
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 4: don't agree with any of it, absolutely zero of it,

151
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: because if you have a chance to win a baseball

152
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 4: game that day, I understand why they did it. I

153
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: don't agree with it, and I don't have to agree

154
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 4: with it, because I believe that if you have a

155
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: chance to win a baseball game, especially at this time

156
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: of the year, you've got to use your best players

157
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: in the right situations. And in that case, that was

158
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 4: one of the cases. Very very rarely do I ever

159
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: disagree with Rob Thompson. I think that there's always a

160
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: plan and there's a reason. As you said, Jim, I

161
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: think that's probably there's a reason. Could Bryce Harper twet

162
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 4: something because he's not as prepared could JT. JT's not

163
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: really a great pinch hitter. I think Hister hitting numbers

164
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: are not very good at all. I have to go

165
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: back and look at those. Perhaps that's just not his

166
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: ability to do that role.

167
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: That's not his thing.

168
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: That said, I would still have thrown both of those

169
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: guys up there instead of Stevenson and Stubbs because you

170
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 4: got a much better chance of winning the baseball game

171
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 4: with those two guys. In my opinion, I don't have

172
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: to agree with everything that Rob Thompson does. I love

173
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 4: everything about the guy, and I think he's a phenomenal manager.

174
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 4: I just think in this case, I would utilize every

175
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 4: one of my resources to try to win the baseball game,

176
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: especially when knowing that I have a day off today

177
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: being Monday, and you know we've got a big series

178
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: coming up. I understand, but it's been great to be

179
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: able to have some momentum going into that series, and

180
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: bigger momentum than you have already after winning three out

181
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 4: of four from the Washington Nationals. I understand it. I

182
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 4: don't agree with it. I just I just I know

183
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: that they have to go through their routines and do

184
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff, but they're paid in an

185
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: or exorbitant amount of money to be prepared for a game,

186
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 4: to play that game. And I understand that it's a

187
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: day off and that is important to them. They don't

188
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: get a lot of days off, especially these guys, and

189
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: they probably won't down the stretch because the games could

190
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: become more and more important. But this is every bit

191
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: is an important game, and I just feel like those

192
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: those both those guys should have been utilized.

193
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I I agree with you. I said, I would have

194
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: been extremely tempted to throw Bryce Harper up there, and

195
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: I think if you're in uniform, you need to be

196
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: thinking that I can help my team today. I just

197
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: think there's just so much more to this, even behind it,

198
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: beyond the manager. I think I agree organization and they're

199
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna be Rob Thompson. One thing we've learned about Rob Thompson,

200
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: he is so committed to his word. When he gives

201
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: a player his word, he tells him on Friday night,

202
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: on their way out the door, you're gonna get Sunday off.

203
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: He's sticking to that because he believes in communication, and

204
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: he believes in his word, and he believes that trust

205
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: with the player and his word is his currency in

206
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: that clubhouse. And I go back to last October when

207
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: Johann Rojas was struggling and everybody was clamoring for him

208
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: to be removed from the lineup in the playoffs. What

209
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: happened early in that offseason. Rob Thompson went to Johann

210
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: Rojas and patted mun on the back and said, relax,

211
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: you're my guy. You're out there all the time. And

212
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: I think Rob was beholden to his word at that point,

213
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: and that's why he's stuck with the guy, maybe to

214
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: the team's detriment. So Rob puts a lot of stock

215
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: in his word and the trust in the bond that

216
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: he builds with players through communication. Maybe it came back

217
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: to bite them yesterday. Maybe they're going to regret this

218
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: if they lose the home field advantage by one game.

219
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this guy is committed to his

220
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: word and he's committed to keeping his big guns healthy

221
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: for the long haul, and that's how he chose to

222
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: do it.

223
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the thing. For me. It was like,

224
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: they're they have a half game lead over the Dodgers,

225
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: So man, if they would lose that home field advantage

226
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: and it's game seven in the NLCS a Dodger Stadium,

227
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: and you're going, you're looking back at games they could

228
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: have won, and there's gonna be a lot of them,

229
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: a lot of games that they could have won, but

230
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: this probably would be one game on that list of

231
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: ten games that they could have won. You know, Bryce

232
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: Harper is a tremendous pitch hitter. He's a tremendous hitter. JT,

233
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: like you said, Rubin is not a great pitcher, betted

234
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: one fifty three in his career as a pinch hitter.

235
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 2: Bryce is like betting three seventy seven as a pinch hitter.

236
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: He probably probably enjoys those moments. But JT had played

237
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 2: five straight games, So Robside told him, I wanted to

238
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: give him two straight days. Bryce has been playing a lot.

239
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: I wanted to give him two straight days. As one

240
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: of you guys said, the thirteen game stretch coming up.

241
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: But still so Charlie, Charlie wouldn't would not have given

242
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: definitely wouldn't given Bryce Harper the day off. This would

243
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: have been a mood point, would Charlie. He was known

244
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: for for, you know, riding his big boys.

245
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt, and he's he'd be saying. It'd

246
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: be different for Charlie. Charlie be saying, Hey, he's got

247
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: a day off tomorrow, so.

248
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: You get most of it, and he got most of

249
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: the game off today, so throw your cleats on, get

250
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: ready to get out there.

251
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: You were in uniform and even at the end of

252
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: your GM tenure, but I think you were really more

253
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: in uniform with the Red Sox and Mets when sports

254
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: science really really came to the forefront.

255
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that I think it got to the point.

256
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: I think, just like anything else in baseball, I think

257
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: that there's some ideas that are great. I think that

258
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 4: there's some information that they have out there that will

259
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: help prevent injury. I think that's really the most important

260
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: part of it. But I also think that there's some

261
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: things that have happened in the game that are sort

262
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: of detrimental. I think we've I mean, you're looking at

263
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 4: some of these new rules that they're thinking about. I mean,

264
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: we can go into this long discussion about the six

265
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 4: inning rule and starting pitchers. Well, players are not conditioned

266
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 4: to play anymore. Players are now conditioned to play. Even

267
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 4: in the minor leagues. They have a day off on Monday.

268
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 4: Every day now, I mean every Monday is a day off.

269
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: They players are not necessarily conditioned to play one hundred

270
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: and sixty two games mentally or physically. Pitchers, bullpen guys

271
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 4: are never almost never pitched back to back games in

272
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: the minor leagues. Starting pitchers almost never get to seven

273
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 4: or eight or nine innings in a minor league game.

274
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: I think it's creating, it's creating a situation in baseball

275
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 4: where the expectation has dropped significantly. You no longer expect

276
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 4: players to do X, Y and Z. But when and

277
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: yet when they get to the major leagues, they are.

278
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: Expected to pitch back to back days.

279
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: They are expected to just throw seven innings and they're

280
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: not conditioned to do that. So I'm not sure. I

281
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: know that there's a lot of important science out there.

282
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: I'm just not sure whether it's some of it is

283
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: positive and some of it is detrimental. And I think

284
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: some of it has become detrimental in some ways because

285
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 4: the load management thing. I don't know that there's any

286
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: science that actually tells me that, Okay, if I take

287
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: ten less swings or ten less ground balls, or I

288
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: have to get off the field, does that really help

289
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 4: me not get injured? Does that really help me prepare

290
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 4: for a major league season for one hundred and sixty

291
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: two games. I don't know. I just know that there's

292
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: a lot more science. I just don't know if that

293
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: there's any studies that actually say, hey, if we do X,

294
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: Y or Z and we back them off in this way,

295
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: does it make them a better player? Does it make

296
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 4: them more healthy player? I just don't think that's the case.

297
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: I'd like to see the evidence because I had never seen.

298
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: It, and we will be right back.

299
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,280

00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: So I want to wrap this up real quick. This

318
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: this conversation, I think we're all in agreement. We would

319
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: have loved to have seen Bryce Harper, should have seen

320
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper pinchhit. The one thing I think you guys

321
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: can lend some expertise on is I think the average

322
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: fan might think that what Bryce Harper sent on the

323
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: bench for eight innings, just go grab a bat and

324
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: get in the batter's box, can you, guys, Rubin, I

325
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: mean you coached recently, that's not the process for pinch hitting.

326
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: Okay.

327
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 2: So say you're Ruben Lamar Junior, you were a pinchhit

328
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: or you were a bench player. Okay, when do you

329
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: start getting ready for a potential pinch hitting situation in

330
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 2: the ninth inning? How how does that work? Exactly?

331
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

332
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 4: For me, and this is you know, this is way

333
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: back when you know it is twenty some years ago.

334
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: I would start, you know, really honing in probably around

335
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 4: the fifth inning. The fifth inning is when I started

336
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: my stretch. I'd stretch out, I'd get loose. I'd start

337
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 4: you know, mentally picturing, like you know, figuring out which

338
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: pictures are probably available, which picture I'm going to be facing.

339
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: I had I have the added dilemma, or not so

340
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: much a dilemma of being a switch hitter. So I had,

341
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: you know, two things going on in my head. Okay,

342
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a right he's gonna be a lefty.

343
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: So I had to go and and and then get

344
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: in the cage and start taking swings. Whether it was

345
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 4: you know, Kevin Jordan flipping mes, you know, little flips

346
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 4: or whoever it was. We didn't have back then. We

347
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 4: didn't have like an extra hitting coach to do it.

348
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 4: So we I would, you know, get out there and

349
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 4: get on a machine or get on a tee and

350
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 4: you know, start doing my work and taking my swings

351
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 4: and doing the things that are necessary for me to

352
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: prepare you know, physically and mentally for my bat. So

353
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: so the whole off day thing kind of goes away

354
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: because you're basically, you know, whatever your prep is, whatever

355
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: you do, whether it's a massage or whether nowadays it's

356
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 4: a massage, it's this.

357
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 3: It's that there's all types of stuff that goes on.

358
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 4: There's a there's a stretch, there's a there's all types

359
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 4: of things that are going on to prepare you to

360
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: play a game.

361
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: And that's part of the process.

362
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: It's even and it's even more extensive nowadays than it

363
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: was when I played, because there's so many more facilities

364
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 4: and things for.

365
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: You to be able to do to prepare for that.

366
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 4: And so yes, I understand the whole process a bit,

367
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 4: you know, and you just don't.

368
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 3: You don't grab a bat and go up there, right.

369
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not how it works in this day and age.

370
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 4: There's a whole you know, people have their routines and

371
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 4: they have you know, for him to be totally for

372
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: that player to be totally.

373
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 3: Prepared for that one A B against you know, whichever player.

374
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: If your manager tells you you're off today, but be

375
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: ready to pinch it, you're not off. And I think

376
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: that shaped Rob Thompson's thinking, mm hm, So that might be.

377
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: Again, I totally agree with you. I just don't agree

378
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: with that process.

379
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 4: I I agree with those play at the very least

380
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 4: getting themselves ready. I understand why they do it, because

381
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 4: they do want to give them the day off. I

382
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 4: just I just as a as a baseball person, I

383
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: just don't agree with the process. I do believe that

384
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 4: those players should be mentally and physically prepared in case

385
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: that Think about this, what if the player got injured

386
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: and they had to go into play. What if there's

387
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 4: a player that you know, what if Garrett Stubbs takes

388
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: a foul tip JT's got to.

389
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: Come into the game.

390
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 4: Okay, So there's other I mean there's other things that

391
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 4: have to that may happen in the game. So I actually, okay,

392
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: I can communication and I don't disagree.

393
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I understand why Rob.

394
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 4: Does this because those off days are important, but there

395
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 4: are also different factors. I mean, if Alec Bohm takes

396
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 4: one off his elbow, Bryce Harper's coming into that game, right, Okay,

397
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: he's playing first base. So so there's other and I

398
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: know those are you know, extreme cases, but those are cases,

399
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: and those things do happen.

400
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: I was a fan, I'd be disappointed that I didn't

401
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: get take a hack with the game on the line.

402
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: It's like one of my kids wanted to go see

403
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: the Sixers game a Sixers game last winter, but her

404
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: bread concern was can I see him be because they

405
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: rest and beat a lot. So I understand this stuff

406
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: ways on on fans.

407
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,720

00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: So every Monday, we're gonna kind of go around and

417
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: figure out who the Philly of the Week is, or

418
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: you know, we're each gonna pick a Philly of the week.

419
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: And should I start? Should I start? I mean, for me,

420
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna I'm gonna take the easy

421
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: route here. I'm an easy angle guy, So I'm gonna

422
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: say Trey Turner. Trey Turner had been red hot since

423
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: getting benched. I guess you could say. On Wednesday ten

424
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: for seventeen, three doubles, one home run for RBI, six

425
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: runs scored one point five five to two ops spatting

426
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: five eighty eight, and he's been running really, really well.

427
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: Jim On Friday, we talked about how on Thursday he

428
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: had his fastest home to first time eighth fastest of

429
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: the season, fastest sprint speed home to first since like

430
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: July twentieth. On Friday night, he hits a double to

431
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: left field left center field, it's his It was his

432
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: fastest home the second on the double since like May

433
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three. So Tray Turner's found that extra

434
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: gear and and hey, they've the offense kind of took

435
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: off those games.

436
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: So did the meeting. So did the meeting? Is it

437
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: focused to Trey Turner?

438
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: I don't, and I don't know the message, but he

439
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: it seems like he got whatever message he needed to get.

440
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: He was, he was, he heard it well and and

441
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: he's he's. But that's to get Trey Turner going, guys

442
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: two hits every night, get on base a couple of

443
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 2: times a night, you can do so much damage. That's

444
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: why he's my Philly weak. Reuben who you got?

445
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: So I got Weston Wilson, And I think I think

446
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: you're you're, you're You're not wrong by saying Trey Turner

447
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 4: because he's played so well, but west and Wilson to me,

448
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 4: I know he hasn't played a ton of games, but

449
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: the games that he has played, the team has won.

450
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you think about what he's done is his impact.

451
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 4: And I happened to be in this with the rest

452
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 4: of the boys doing the game when he ended up

453
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 4: hitting for the cycle.

454
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: We happened to be. It was a great night.

455
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 4: We had John Cruck, myself, Ben Davis, and Tom McCarthy

456
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 4: in the stands and we were at the just above

457
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 4: the CP Ranking Club and we were reporting on the game.

458
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 4: We had the fans around us. The fanatic was floating

459
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: around doing crazy stuff. But it was a really electric

460
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: ball game, and it was one of those games that

461
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: it was so fun to watch this young man. You

462
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 4: think about, like the journey that this young man has

463
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 4: taken and the perseverance it took for him to stay

464
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: with it and keep grinding. He had a great spring,

465
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 4: could have made the team out of spring training. Really

466
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 4: in a lot of ways, I actually thought he was

467
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 4: going to make the team out of spring training. Doesn't

468
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: make the team out of spring training, goes Back has

469
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: struggles for a little while, bounce us back and has

470
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: like a ridiculous season in Lehigh Valley and they almost

471
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 4: he almost forces him.

472
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 3: To bring him to the big leagues.

473
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 4: Finally gets an opportunity and uh and for him to

474
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 4: hit the tenth cycle in this in the franchise's history,

475
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 4: I mean, think about that. That is just incredible. On

476
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: the last at bat line drive the right center field.

477
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: When your reaction was great on the broadcast, you were

478
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: you were like every Phillies fan out there.

479
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 3: Yes, I was the dive. I was.

480
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 4: I was literally like a fan watching this happen, man,

481
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: And I was excited, and you know, all of us

482
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: gave you know, got up and gave him like the standing.

483
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 6: Oh.

484
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: I mean it was.

485
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: And the cool thing about it was, and I think

486
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: I said this in the broadcast, is that every person

487
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 4: in that ballpark knew exactly what was going on.

488
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: That's the beauty of our of the Philadelphia Philly.

489
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: Fan is that they're so aware of things like that

490
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: that that they all knew that this was an amazing,

491
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: like an incredible moment. And uh, I just think that

492
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: the fact that he played in like the three games

493
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: prior and he didn't play yesterday, didn't lost the ball

494
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 4: game the three games prior, I think he played in

495
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: all three of those games. He had some sort of

496
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 4: impact on each one of those games. To me, he's

497
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 4: the Philly of the week.

498
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Those are very worthy Phillies of the Week. I was

499
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: leaning towards Trey Turner as well, because when he gets

500
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: hot at the plate, it just seems like wins followed,

501
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: but Todd's the boss, and he took Trey Turner. So

502
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: I was was, I'm.

503
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 3: Gonna take the layup.

504
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the lay up every week. I'm gonna

505
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: go first, take the obvious guy. We can agree on guys.

506
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: We can all three agree on the guys.

507
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: If we will. Now I can, I can, I can shift.

508
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna shift to Wheeler, Nola, and Sanchez because

509
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, they just got back to having some great

510
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: starting pitching, and by the way, they won all those games.

511
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: But Todd being the boss that I couldn't pick three guys.

512
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: So I'm going to move on. I'm gonna move on.

513
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: And my Philly of the Week is Kyle Schwarber because

514
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: they emerged from that team meeting a pivotal moment I

515
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: would think you would agree in the season, and they

516
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: quickly fall behind to the Miami Marlins and it's like

517
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: doom and gloom, and he erases it all with one

518
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: swing and kind of sets the tone for the remainder

519
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: of the week with that grand slam. So Kyle Schwarber,

520
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: come on down and give him, give him a gift

521
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: card for being the Philly of the Week.

522
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: That's a good call man, and it wasn't.

523
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 4: There was a turnaround, there's no question this week, and

524
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: they needed it because they had been not playing the

525
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 4: type of baseball that was championship worthy and worthy. And

526
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: there's a lot of people who who contributed to them

527
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: turning things some things around.

528
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: Do you guys think the best the worst is behind them?

529
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: Is it too early to say? I mean, they go

530
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: four in one since that meeting.

531
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: No, they didn't play that. They didn't play the toughest

532
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: teams in baseball. They did not. They did not And

533
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: this is another great test test. Now that's what it is.

534
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 4: There's seven games up on I believe on Atlanta, and

535
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: this is a critical one. If they take two out

536
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 4: of three from Atlanta, I think they're sort of dead.

537
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: Atlanta's probably going to end up being sort of dead

538
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 4: in the water. Sure, although I mean crazier things have happened,

539
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 4: But this is the series with Atlanta is a big

540
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: one because I guess they're going to probably face Lopez

541
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 4: Freed and probably sail Eric.

542
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: I think it's I don't think sales pitching this week.

543
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: It's at least on Braves dot Com it was Lopez

544
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: Freed and Schwellenbach.

545
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 4: Probably, Yeah, Well, I would be said, I wouldn't be

546
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: surprised if Sale pitched on five days because it is

547
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 4: is day.

548
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe they may want to give him an

549
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: extra day. Who knows, But I don't know. Man, It's

550
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: it's it's not gonna be an easy one.

551
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 4: It's tough to win in Atlanta, but it's and then that,

552
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: and Atlanta's playing a little bit better. They've won a

553
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: couple of games in a row. It'll be interesting to

554
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 4: see how they how they handled being down there in

555
00:28:58,840 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 4: the South.

556
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: Very very tough thirteen day stretch, and you know Rob

557
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: Thompson's acknowledging that with his action yesterday and resting two

558
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: big studs. But tough thirteen game stretch against teams all

559
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: over five hundred seven of them. Against Atlanta, they haven't

560
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: given up trying to run down the Phillies. And I

561
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: think it's a long shot, but they're going to give

562
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: it their best. I mean, they're right in the playoff picture.

563
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: Then you go to Houston, then you go to Kansas City.

564
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: They're right in their playoff picture. They need victories. They're

565
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: going to play their butts off. And then you got

566
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: Houston do you have Houston or and then Atlanta? Right? No,

567
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta again, they.

568
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 4: Do have I think they have Atlanta twice in these

569
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: next thirteen.

570
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: I do believe, but I'm not. Don't quote me on it.

571
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: I can pull it.

572
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: So seven against Atlanta and three against Kansas City.

573
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 4: Right, Casey and Casey is a very scrappy team. Remember

574
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 4: they came I think Kansas City came into our place.

575
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: And did they take two out of three of the

576
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 4: Phillies last year?

577
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: I know last year?

578
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know they played very, very good base all

579
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: against the Phillies the last time they face him, and

580
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: I do.

581
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's it's three Atlanta three, case Astros for three,

582
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: then the Braves for four.

583
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so it is Houston as well, yep, Okay, road

584
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: the road trips Atlanta, Kansas City, and then you have Houston.

585
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: In Houston, Atlanta at home.

586
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: Okay. That's what I see the schedule in my mind's eye.

587
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: It's a tough stretch. It's a really it's another tough stretch,

588
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: almost like that West Coast.

589
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 3: And that's important.

590
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: It's important for them to get Suarez back. I'm not

591
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: sure exactly what is the next thing. Next step for

592
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 4: Suarez is concerned, but they need to get him back

593
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: into this rotation for them to be at full strength.

594
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 4: And if he is back and pitching the way he

595
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 4: can pitch, doesn't have to be lights out for seven innings,

596
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 4: but he he needs to bounce back because they need

597
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 4: that that pitching depth.

598
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: So it sounds so it sounds like what's going to happen.

599
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: The plant is Wheeler Tuesday, Nola Wednesday, Sanchez is Thursday.

600
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: But coming off the complete game, we know that that

601
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: gives Rob Thompson heart palpitations, you know, pushing guys that far.

602
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: So he said, if Sanchez they feel like he's bounced back,

603
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: he'll pitch Thursday. Now, if they feel that he needs

604
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: an extra day, they're gonna give him the extra day

605
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: and they're gonna make Thursday a bullpen game in Atlanta.

606
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: So let's let's assume that Sanchez through ninety nine pitches.

607
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 2: Let's say he feels great, he pitches Thursday. It's probably

608
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: gonna be Taiwan Walker on Friday, and that would line

609
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: up Suarez on Saturday. Now, all that, of course is

610
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: subject subject, subject subject to change, Yeah, subject to change,

611
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: So it could be Walker and Suarez Friday Saturday in

612
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: Kansas City. So you know, Jim, you mentioned it, Sanchez

613
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: potential Philly of the week the rotation. That was huge

614
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: to see finally get a good one on Christopher Sanchez.

615
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: I mean since the since the shutout at the end

616
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: of June, he has not been very good and so

617
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: they I guess they found some sort of mechanical issue

618
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: with his arm slot. You know too, he had dropped

619
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: his arm slot down too low and that had really

620
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: messed up his sinker and he wasn't being been able

621
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: to command the pitch, control the pitch. Uh So to

622
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: get him going, that's to me, that's a huge development

623
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 2: for the Phillies because he had he had kind of

624
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: flown under the radar. I think as being a really

625
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: sore spot for what the Phillies why they had been

626
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: struggling so much over the past month. He had not

627
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: been very good, and he was.

628
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: So efficient against the Nationals the other day. So efficient

629
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: reminded me a lot of you remember like Zach Zach

630
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: Efflin's second big league start.

631
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 6: I think it was against It's like one pitcher, eighty

632
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 6: nine pitches, sinker, sink or sinker. It was a very

633
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 6: efficient ball. Game, and they need him to build on

634
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 6: that because he's vital and and lengthen the rot is vital.

635
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 6: And I'm really really curious to see how Ranger looks

636
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 6: because I just think this thing is taking a long time.

637
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 6: I think they're not letting on everything. And it's not

638
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 6: their job to let on everything. I mean, I know

639
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 6: people ask all the time.

640
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: And but it just seems like it's taking a long time.

641
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 4: Do you guys agree, Yes, they've they've they've stretched it

642
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: out on Suarez. Hopefully it's something that uh that's not

643
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: lingering and something that they've nipped in the bud, so

644
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 4: to speak. But think about it, those are two really

645
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 4: really good left handers in your rotation that you need.

646
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 4: I mean, that was that was the reason why this

647
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: team was playing almost seven hundred ball for the first

648
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: couple of months of the season, is because the starting

649
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 4: pitching was just outrageous.

650
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: And uh, and they need those guys back.

651
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the and the time they've given Suarez and

652
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: the rest yesterday for those two big guns, it just

653
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: tells you how much they're budgeting for October.

654
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: They are, that is everything in their mind. They want

655
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 2: these guys as fresh as humanly possible as daisies. Yes,

656
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 2: who didn't love that October?

657
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: October is all that matters for this team. And I'm

658
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm in agreement. It's all that matters because you remember

659
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: when we were talking about them winning one hundred and

660
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: ten games or whatever and having this it wasn't going

661
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: to mean anything if they didn't do have a great

662
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: October and have a parade. I hate to be that,

663
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, drastic, because I do believe you can have

664
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: a special season, a great season without winning the World Series.

665
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: But they've had good seasons the last two years. They've

666
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: gone into the postseason, they've made memories for people, they've

667
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: had experienced disappointment. It's all about the big prize for

668
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: this team.

669
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,440
