Things era 22 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 3: is what over. SEVEN i don't think any of us were. 23 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: Surprised what was your kind of reaction to the. 24 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: MOVE i knew it was going to happen soon if 25 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: he didn't turn things. Around it was pretty obvious that 26 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: mechanically he was not able to spot his. Fastball he's 27 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: not able to get fastballs past. ANYONE i, MEAN i 28 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: think the league was hitting over four hundred on his, 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: fastball four seemer in. Particular you, know he's a guy 30 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: who used to have a an elite fastball WHEN i say, 31 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: elite and had great movement and had a great life 32 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: prior to his and it was probably a one pitch 33 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: he always. Had he could always spin the baseball, well 34 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: throw a good breaking ball on a, slider but he 35 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: just was not able to command the fastball and really 36 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: wasn't able to really create the kind of life on 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: the fastball since he has had That Tommy john. Surgery 38 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: and in, fact if you look at some of the 39 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: numbers that he put together In TRIPLE a last, year 40 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: the big thing was that he got through the season, 41 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: healthy but he wasn't super effective with a lot of his. 42 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: STUFF i, mean he had over five E. R and 43 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: so this is a guy that this is a guy 44 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: that really hasn't pitched all that well since The Tommy 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: John i'm not sure if it's. Mechanical i'm not sure 46 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: if it's emotional and. Mental of, course when you're trying 47 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: to develop a pitcher at the major league level with 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: a guy who has this kind of pedigree and you 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: don't get, results it wears on. You and this kid's 50 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: got great. MAKEUP i love everything about out the. Guy 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: he's a great. Athlete but it's time for him to get. 52 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: Reset and that's exactly What dombrowski. Said it's time for 53 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: him to go, down get his mechanics, together get his extension, 54 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: together do the things that are necessary to get him 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: close to where he was prior to especially this basketball 56 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: prior to his injury and his subsequent. Surgery if this 57 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: is a kid that's too important to this organization not 58 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: to get him back, TOGETHER i will say, this here's 59 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: my take on. It THOUGH i know that the biggest 60 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: concern was to get him back and healthy through the 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: season last. Year why was this guy not worked? On 62 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: why were these, MECHANICS i mean they probably saw that 63 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't getting the great results on the fastball during 64 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: the course of The TRIPLE a, season and they're not 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: great hitters In TRIPLE a, either and he was getting 66 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: knocked around a little. Bit why was not addressed last? 67 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Year maybe it was because all they cared about was 68 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: his overall. Health BUT i, mean that's a whole development 69 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: year that he should have been pitching or developing and 70 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: getting his fastball command to the point where he was 71 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: where he would be able to defend himself a little 72 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: bit better in the following, year meaning this. Year and 73 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: SO i WAS i was concerned about that twenty twenty, 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: hindsight but that's a whole development year where he probably 75 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: could have been working on some of these mechanical flaws 76 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: then because he was not super effective with his stuff 77 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: overall last. Year just the thought and, listen now they're 78 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: going to Play now they're gonna have to play catch. 79 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: Up what's your thought on, That. 80 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: Jim, WELL i, mean you're, right this has been going 81 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: on for over a season, now it's a season and a. 82 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: Half last, Year TRIPLE a twenty two who starts the 83 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: ra over five gave up almost ten hits per nine, 84 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: innings walked almost four batters per nine, innings so a 85 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: lot of base. Runners dombrosk talked To Caleb cotham And 86 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: Dave dobrowski And Don mattingly On, thursday the day after the. 87 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 3: Demotion they all indicated that this stuff has been worked 88 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: on in bullpen sessions, recently and this is stuff we. 89 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: Noticed we talked about this a month. Ago how from 90 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: the centerfield camera you could you could see that he 91 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: wasn't really getting off that rubber and using that six 92 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: foot seven frame and driving toward home, plate occasionally spinning 93 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: off a little. Bit you could see it from the centerfield. 94 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: CAMERA i know you AND i talked about, it but 95 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 3: They dombroski did say they've been working on it in 96 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: bullpens and they see some some. Results the stuff in 97 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: the location is better when he's driving more toward home, 98 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: plate but it just Hasn't he hasn't been able to 99 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: kind of make the adjustment. Consistently so that's what they're 100 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 3: gonna work. On dombrowski talked about direction to the. PLATE 101 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: i Asked Caleb coffam in simple, terms Was andrew not 102 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: getting enough out of his six foot seven inch. Frame 103 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: he acknowledged, that, yes they don't expect them to Be Jacob, 104 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 3: miserowski but they would like to see more direction to the. 105 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: Plate and they think that's gonna help the. Finish they 106 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: think that's gonna help the. Command you can call it 107 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 3: whatever you. Want extension in this day and, age they 108 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: can measure. Everything he doesn't get a ton of extension 109 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 3: out of that big, frame doesn't use it to its full. 110 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: Potential they want him to stay within His he's Not. 111 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: Misowski they want him to stay within himself and do 112 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: the things he does, well but just get a little 113 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: more maybe drive toward home. Plate so that's something they're 114 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 3: gonna work. ON i just think it's good to get 115 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 3: him out of here BECAUSE i think a lot of 116 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 3: things was weighing on his. MIND i, mean after that 117 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: two starts to go In, milwaukee he had a really 118 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: tough one and HE i was there and he kind 119 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: of sat in front of his locker for like fifteen 120 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: minutes and just stared blankly into his. Locker you could 121 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 3: tell it's the twenty three year old. Kid he wants 122 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: to be. Good he wants his dreams to come. Through 123 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: he wants to come through for the other twenty five 124 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: guys in that. Clubhouse that's the biggest, letdown that's the 125 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: biggest drain on your, psyche is that you're letting your mates. 126 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: Down they're out there busting it for, you and you're 127 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: not doing it for. Him so you could see the 128 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: frustration building in, Him SO i think and wearing on. 129 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: HIM i think it's good to get him out of 130 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: here and work on some of these flaws in a 131 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: less pressurized. 132 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: Situation but we talk about this all the. 133 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: Time we've been talking about this since almost day one 134 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: of the podcast that you, know think, Long Think. Wrong 135 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: we talk about it with hitters all the. 136 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: Time that to me. 137 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 3: Is one of THE i never really liked the expression swing. 138 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: DECISION i understand, it and it's, fine but to, me 139 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: it shouldn't be a. 140 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: Decision it should be a. Reaction shouldn't be that much. 141 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: Thinking and you, KNOW i just Think Andrew, painter if 142 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: you kind of push that, forward that thought forward into, 143 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: PITCHING i think he was a lot was in that 144 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: head of his and it was tough to get it 145 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: to come off the. Fingertips AND i go back to 146 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: a Quote Don maddingly had In milwaukee after his last 147 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: start And mattingly, said he actually did see some progress 148 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: that the kid was attacking the zone a little bit, 149 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: more and that's what he wanted him to. Do attack the. Zone, 150 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: quote not worry about what the pitch looks, like not 151 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: worry about your, mechanics just execute the. Pitch so, that to, 152 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: me that, QUOTE i thought was very. Telling do you 153 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 3: do you kind of agree with? 154 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: That, YEAH i mean anytime, listen we talk about the 155 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: mental side of the game all the time and how 156 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: important it is and how difficult it is in the 157 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: game of. Baseball there's so, many so much negativity he 158 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: associated with the, game whether you're pitching or you're, hitting 159 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: and you have to be able to deal with that. 160 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: Negativity and what was the best thing That Doc halliday. 161 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Did he flushed the next last pitch and he concentrated 162 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: on the very next pitch and executing that. Pitch and 163 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: that's really at the end of the, day all your 164 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: preparation and the reason why he could do that because 165 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: he knew he prepared himself to the point where he 166 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about all that other. Stuff and 167 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: in the case Of Andrew, painter now he's got some mechanical, 168 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: things he's got to work through it's going to take some. 169 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: Times why he's going to take some. Time he's got 170 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: to get to the point where his mechanics are more 171 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: natural and, better and so that when he's prepared and 172 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: he he starts to do those you, know those movements 173 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: with his body more, naturally then he doesn't have to 174 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: think about, that as you, Said, jim and he just 175 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: executes his. Pitch and so that takes some. Time and 176 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: that's WHY i was concerns to. ME i, mean he 177 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: already should be at that point because he didn't really 178 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: go through the mechanical adjustments it seems even last year 179 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: to get to the point where he is ready to 180 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: go at the major league. Level but you got to 181 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: toss that. Aside. Now now it's time for him to redo. 182 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: It get to the point where he's you, know making 183 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: his new whatever that new normal is for. Him he 184 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: has to make that his natural movement and his natural 185 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: mechanics and then trust that it will work when he 186 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: gets to the mound in the major league. 187 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: Level he's an incredibly hard. Worker we've seen. 188 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: That, YES i love everything about the kid. MAN i love. 189 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: HIM i love his, MAKEUP i love the way his, 190 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: athleticism all that, stuff AND i have a lot of 191 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: faith in him being able to do, that just BECAUSE i, 192 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: MEAN i saw him as a nineteen year old thinking to, 193 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: myself my, god this kid's a mature athletic. Kid This 194 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: and you can say it's his quiet confidence that's been 195 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: shaken a little. Bit that happens when you get introduced 196 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: To hillarch And bradsby at the major league. Level that. 197 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: Happens BUT i have great faith in this kid coming 198 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: back and being the picture that he can. BE i do. 199 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: Too the ingredients are.

Seasons, Jim, yeah the over depth 300 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: of the starting. PITCHING i know that they could not 301 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: and did not have the dollars and cents to be 302 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: able to Keep Ranger. Suarez would have been nice to 303 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: put the money into. That, yes would you have put 304 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: the money into that rather than Bring Kyle schwerer? BACK 305 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: i don't. Know ALL i know is that starting pitching 306 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: means a lot and when you have and this is 307 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: not uncommon around the, league and they're gonna expand and 308 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna have less pitching starting pitching out there because 309 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: nobody's developing starting. Pitching and the fact that most teams 310 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: don't have five pitchers in the major leagues who can 311 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: consistently pitch six, innings that's. Real there are very few 312 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: teams who have any of, That phillies being one of. 313 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: Them now they only have, three and so it does 314 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: tax the bullpen that the domino effect surrounding all of 315 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: that is. Enormous it doesn't take a genius or an 316 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: analytics guru or someone who can code to understand that 317 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: if you can't get a consistent six innings out of 318 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: five starters in your, rotation that you're screwed and that 319 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: you're going to have a tough time getting through the. 320 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: Season and in some cases you need seven to eight 321 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: of those, guys BECAUSE i, mean by, attrician by just, 322 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: natural the fact that people just go down and so starting, 323 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: pitching AND i keep saying, it And i'll never stop 324 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: saying it till the DAY i, die that starting pitching 325 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: is the single most important thing for one hundred and 326 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: sixty two game schedule to have, success and the quality 327 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: of starting, pitching that's the. Fact. Jack you can build 328 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: your bullpens from back to, front you can do all this, 329 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: stuff but you don't get starting, pitching you're gonna have 330 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: trouble getting through one hundred and sixty two game. Season 331 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: in the, playoffs it's, different totally different. Game it's a 332 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: bit of a sprint now then you only need like 333 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: two great ones and then you sort of piece it 334 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: together after. That but when it comes to playing one 335 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two, games you got to have starting, 336 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: pitching and The phillies are going to struggle with. That, 337 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: NOW i don't know where they're gonna get the innings 338 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: because the reality of is, this and we talked about, 339 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: This Aaron nola is a five inning pitcher, now and 340 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: that's what you can expect out of. Him can he 341 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: give you a five innings and three runs which he did? 342 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: Yesterday yes he, can or day before, yesterday, whatever, yesterday 343 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 4: he can do that and he and he can keep 344 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 4: you in the game if you have enough offense to 345 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 4: be able to cover. It but you can't have two 346 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 4: guys who do that and be able to handle that 347 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 4: with your. 348 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: Bullpen it's just too many innings that the bullpen has to. 349 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: Cover unless you have so many bullpen pieces and so 350 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: much depth in your, system which most teams, don't that 351 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 1: you can cover. It so that's my spiel on the starting, 352 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: Pitching and, yes to answer your question long, wittedly starting 353 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: pitching is going to have to be a priority For Dave. 354 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: DOMBROWSKI i don't know where he could get. It Or 355 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Andrew paynter's gonna have to come back fast sometime in 356 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 1: Early september or something to be and and be a 357 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: Revamped Andrew paynter to be able to support this, Team. 358 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 3: Yeah come back fast and, Fixed so there's some variables. 359 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 3: There nola five, innings he threw ninety seven. Pitches he 360 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 3: actually touched ninety, five which is pretty firm for. Him 361 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 3: but just you, know the economy of pitches just was 362 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 3: not there before the. Game Dave, dombrowski you, know was 363 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 3: asked about the search for pitching and he, acknowledged you, 364 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 3: know he has conversations with teams all the time and he, 365 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 3: says everybody is looking for pitching, depth nobody really has. 366 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: It so it's a tough. 367 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 3: Situation, yeah it's, it but The phillies do have a drop, 368 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 3: off and that innings deficit is going to tax the 369 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 3: bullpen at a stage right now where we're reaching the 370 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 3: point of the season and tangibly with This phillies, team 371 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 3: they can't be, taxed you. Know they On thursday Sent 372 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: Tanner banks was a big contributor last. Year they sent 373 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 3: him to The. Miners, lefty he's been. Ineffective Jose varado 374 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: has A era over. Six he gave him three runs 375 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: in a seventh to lose a three to three tie 376 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 3: or let a three three. 377 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: Tie game get. 378 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: Away he has struggled, Recently so those are two left, 379 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 3: handers one TRIPLE a one Struggling Tim mays has done 380 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: a good job in the. Middle they hope to Get 381 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 3: kyle backus back, soon BUT i think they're gonna have. 382 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 3: To you, know they need more from the left, side 383 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 3: whether it's somebody from the outside. 384 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: Or alvarado to turn things. 385 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: Around and on top of it all your eight and 386 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 3: and Guy keller has a sore. Forearm he's on the. 387 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 3: Il they don't think he's gonna be out, long but 388 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 3: until you see him back looking, good you never. Know 389 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: so starting pitching need both right. 390 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: There, no, yes it's ONE a And and there's some 391 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: question as to whether or not that's more important than 392 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: being able to add some starting, pitching and probably a 393 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: more viable opportunity to do, so because there's probably a 394 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: little bit more bullpen depth out there than there is 395 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: starting pitching depth as far as acquisition is. Concerned but, yes, 396 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: again you know the bullpen that bridge To Joan duran 397 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: is breaking, down and right now It's Ryan kirkering who's the, 398 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: guy and he becomes. Essential he's had a spectacular year 399 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: his last doubt and he pitching a non you, know competitive. 400 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Situation had to get some work in and they needed 401 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: him to. Throw didn't pitch all that, well sort of 402 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: gave up a, run was not real. Sharp but this 403 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: is the guy who's pitched, really really, well and this 404 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: guy has become really, important particularly With Brad keller down 405 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: and the fact That alvarado can't get a left hander, 406 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: out so it doesn't necessarily mean that they need a. 407 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: Lefty they got to get somebody who can get a 408 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: left handed hit her out in that you, know seventh 409 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: eighth inning, role and so that's very. Important they need 410 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: to Get alvarado straightened. Out and if he can't get straightened, 411 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: out they can't get him to be, there then a 412 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: guy Like Kyle bacchus has, to you, know be more. 413 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: Effective they may have to Slide Tim mason into that 414 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: role even though he's been really effective and had a 415 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: nice has done a nice job in like the long 416 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: roll type of. Situation, so, Uh David browsi's got some 417 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: tough work ahead of a, man because there's a lot 418 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: to do with that bullpen and the way the guys 419 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: are starting to swing the. Bat you want to be 420 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: able to support that because they do score run have 421 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: been scoring runs pretty well as of rate and you've 422 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: got to hope that they will continue to improve in 423 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: at it in that, area but you've got to support 424 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: him with some. Quality the combination of the fact that 425 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: their fourth and fifth starters are a little shaky now 426 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: and the fact that they don't have a whole lot 427 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: of bullpen depth is a tough combo platter to work. 428 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: Through AND i think THAT i think The All star 429 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: break is going to come at a very good time 430 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: for these guys to maybe get a breather, in to 431 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: sort of, reset especially for the starters Like Wheeler sanchez 432 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: And luzardo who can hit that spot in the season 433 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: during that time where they get a little dead arm. 434 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: Action so good time to have That All star. Break 435 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why they have it for 436 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 1: this long. Season And Dave dombrowski's job right now is 437 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: not an easy. One been, there been in that. Seat 438 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: had to go get guys out of like, Nowhere Pedro 439 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: martinez's of The, world Roy, oswaltz those kind of guys 440 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: to add some depth to your rotation because it's tough 441 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: to find it out. There AND i know people are 442 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: joking around about Bringing Taiwan walker back or you, know 443 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: some other guys who. Knows but the reality of it, 444 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: is they don't fall off, trees my, friends they don't 445 00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: fall off. 446 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 3: Trees, No and you know we talk About dave to do, 447 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: list back end, starter, bullpen those are kind of coming 448 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: to the forefront in terms of. Needs you wonder if 449 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: they're superseding the need for a right handed, bat which 450 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 3: we still think they need. Him in the outfield is 451 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 3: as a unit is weak production wise offensively in terms 452 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: of offensive. Production so Three big needs not a lot 453 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 3: of chips out. There so that's kind of with with 454 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: the way the needs are stacking. Up if they can 455 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 3: continue to get the off offense can continue to come, 456 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 3: around that that will be a good. Thing one guy 457 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 3: that has come around Is Alec. Baum, really he's been 458 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 3: pretty good over eight hundred and eight ops Since may, 459 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 3: one had that dreadful first five. Weeks so he had 460 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 3: two RBIs again last, night two big. Hits he's up 461 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 3: to four forty one. RBIs AND i want to, say 462 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: this is our monster, moment this is our mons monster. 463 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: Moment unleash the. Beast and you know What alec is unleashing. 464 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: It you got. 465 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 3: It monster moment is powered by monster. Energy and we're 466 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 3: happy to have them with. US i love that, stuff 467 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 3: you love. It and So Alec baum has been a monster. 468 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 3: Lately forty one RBIs now he's ahead Of Bryce. Harper 469 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: he's second only To kyle second on the. Team, yeah 470 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 3: second Only Kyle. Schweber two Behind Kyle. Schweber so after 471 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 3: that difficult, start he has swung a monster. Bat very very, 472 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 3: important especially in the big picture where they could be 473 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 3: pursuing a right handed bat and if you need to 474 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 3: or the quality of, IT i still think they need. 475 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 2: One but this all ties in no. 476 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: Question and he's he's like that big right handed. Bat 477 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: so Is Trey. Turner Trey turner's got to come. Around 478 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: he can be a right handed bat for this. TEAM. 479 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: Jt Real muto. Same we've talked about, this but imagine, 480 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: this after the horrendous start That Alec boehme, had the 481 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: dude might end up with NINETY. RBI i, mean he's 482 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: on track to get ninety to one HUNDRED rbi right, 483 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: now we're not halfway through The season's got forty one 484 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: so that's a great. Sign and he's put some really 485 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: good swings on. It he's starting to get his confidence. 486 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: BACK i think some of his personal stuff that he 487 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: had to deal with in the early part of the 488 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: season really affected. Him he may not say, that he 489 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't say it. Publicly i'll say. IT i, mean 490 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: it's a, tough tough. Go he's turned things. Around he's 491 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: swinging with a lot more. Confidence it's nice to see 492 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: that him do, that and they need. Him the other 493 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: part of this is the guy that's really struggling lately 494 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: Is Bryce. HARPER i, mean the fact That Bryce harper 495 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: is now third IN rbi doesn't bode. Well one for 496 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: the fact That turner wasn't getting on base in front 497 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: of him, one but, two he's sort of cooled off 498 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: this last month or.
