11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 2: I've never seen a throttling quite like that one. I mean,

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: that was unbelievable performance. We got to start with talking Eagles.

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: Of course, we are the Philly Show, but I mean

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: that performance yesterday was you know, Sunday was so much

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: fun and everything about it just a total crushing of

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: the chiefs, you know, and not some run of the

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: you know, day by night whatever you say, squad and

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: trying to win three straight. What do you guys think?

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so much fun to watch. I mean,

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: so many great moments. Like I said, I lost my

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: voice on the pick six, I'm screaming my face off.

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: Oh go go.

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: My wife has our.

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: Two year almost two year old who's under the weather,

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: sitting on her She's losing her mind. My five year

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: old Margo. She doesn't know what's going on, but she

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: sees her parents losing their mind. She starts screaming at

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: the top of her lungs. It was so much fun.

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: It was so much fun.

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: It was title Town USA. Tom, you might be right.

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: It's switching now.

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: Such a young team and they have such a you know,

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: with all this experience now, and they know how to win,

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: and they're so talented. You could see this, you know,

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: some exciting winters coming up. I have to admit I

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: was a little worried because I just sensed the town

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: was so confident. I was like, Okay, you still gotta

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: play this game. They are a very good team, they've

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: won two in a they have great talent. We know

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: all about that great talent. But the Eagles totally neutralized

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: the great talent in red uniforms from the you know,

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 4: from Andy Reid to the quarterback to the big tight end,

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: neutralized him all. And I thought Vic Fangio should have

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: been the MVP. Or every time I looked up Josh

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: Schwett because he had that undershirt on, he could really

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: pick him out. He was in their backfield making a

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 4: big play with the rest of the defensive line. And

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: hats off to whoever identified that Cooper Dejean in the

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: second round. What a pick, What a ballplayer, what an athlete,

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: what a motor that kid has? My only question is

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: can he lead off and play center field.

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 3: I'm with you, James, I'm with you.

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: First thing I said when I saw Michael Vick out there,

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 5: fired the ball and rugh it all over the place.

55
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 5: Love to have him in center field. But I gotta

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 5: tell you, I am as a proud Philadelphian man, couldn't

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 5: be more happy. And what a job by Howie Roseman

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: and Jeffrey Lourie and all the folks that I mean,

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 5: it starts at the top. But I mean Nick Sirianni

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 5: he you know, he and Jalen Hurts some redemption there.

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: A lot of people wanted to fire both those guys. Yeah.

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: Really a team, really, it really was a great team effort.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 5: Everybody contributed to this game. I mean, Dotson had a

64
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 5: couple of catches. I mean, you know, they sort of

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 5: neutralized Squon and they concentrated so much on Saquan and

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: it sort of opened things up for Jalen Hurts, but

67
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: Jalen had to to rise to the occasion and did so.

68
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: He's a winner, man, He's a winner. I love his makeup,

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: love the way he goes about it. Just to really satisfying. Wonderful,

70
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 5: wonderful win for the city, for the fans, for the organization,

71
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 5: and for all Philadelphians.

72
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: Man, great stuff.

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: Way to go, thoroughly satisfying because of just what the

74
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Chiefs were and what they were trying to accomplish. And

75
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: then you think back, I kind of somebody pointed this

76
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: out this morning, but they destroyed the Commanders in the

77
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game. So just two of the greatest football

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: football games you'll ever see from the Eagles, maybe in

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: their history, back to back at the biggest times ever.

80
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: You know, it was.

81
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Ninety five points they scored in those three games. Ninety

82
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: five incredible.

83
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 5: I told somebody before the game that I thought there's

84
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 5: gonna be a four in front of our number as

85
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: far as they're scoring, and there was. But I will

86
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 5: tell you this, they might be the best professional team

87
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: ever in the history of Philadelphia sports. They might be

88
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 5: that good and that deep, and you still combine all

89
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: the things with the coaching and the whole piece of it.

90
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: That was about as dominating the win as you possibly have.

91
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 5: I mean, they totally dismantled maybe one of the best

92
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 5: quarterbacks in the history of the game and one of

93
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 5: the best coaches.

94
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 3: Pretty awesome.

95
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: A lot of respect and admiration for Nick Sirianni. I

96
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: mean a year ago, at this time, he was under

97
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: a microscope. They had had a big fold down the

98
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: stretch he was. He was, you know, in the crosshairs,

99
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 4: not only in the public eye, but from from the

100
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: people he works for. You know, they were basically digging

101
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 4: in to see if he was the right guy. And

102
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 4: he emerges from this and he reshuffles his coaching staff

103
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 4: and they put different guys around him, coordinators, and he

104
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: didn't take it personal, and he just I think he's

105
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: a really good connector of people. He rose up after

106
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: a year ago he's in a tough situation, and a

107
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: year later he's he's on top of the sporting world.

108
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: So I just see him as a really good person.

109
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 4: He sees I don't know the guy, but he seems

110
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: like a hell of a good guy.

111
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 5: And I will tell you then, when Howie Rosemand tired him.

112
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: He said, Reuben, he's a great coach, but he's a

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 5: really he's a better person. He said that a long

114
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 5: time ago, three or four years ago when they first

115
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: hired him, and seems like he is the other thing.

116
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: I got to give some love to Jeffrey Lurry for

117
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 5: sort of parking Howie and Roseman to the side and

118
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 5: bringing him back. Now, you know, won them two super

119
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 5: Bowls and got a chance to really create a dynasty

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 5: and a legacy there that's pretty special. And Howie Rosemen

121
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 5: making the adjustments and making the changes he had to

122
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 5: make to be the executive that he is pretty extraordinarant.

123
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of great stories of redemption, no great

124
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: lessons that you can always get better, you can always

125
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: improve yourself, you can always rebound from tough times, from adversity.

126
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: You can always take on that obstacle and run it

127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: over and be king of the hill again. So, you know,

128
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: really a lot of great lessons in that team in

129
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: green uniforms and very entertaining season.

130
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: So hats off to them.

131
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: I think that's a great segue.

Speaker 2: You guys are so right talking about redemption stories. I

159
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: remember every time you turn on the radio or read

160
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: something online about Nick Siriani and Jalen Hurts last year?

161
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Can he can Jalen Hurts win the Big Game? Is

162
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 2: he an elite quarterback? Is he middle of the road?

163
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: You know? Is Nick Sirianni? What's this guy do? Is

164
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 2: he even deserve a job? And it just tells I

165
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: did see some parallels there with the Phillies and kind

166
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: of maybe them coming into the season going they didn't

167
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: add anybody of significance. They can't win the Big Game

168
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: as constructed.

169
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 5: You don't you know we're talking about Rob Thompson not

170
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 5: being able to you know, yeah, Rob tom exactly right.

171
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: Do they do they have the talent? Do they have

172
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: what it takes to win a World Series? I think

173
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: they do. But camp opens up on Wednesday. Philly's pitchers

174
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: and catchers have their first official workout in Clearwater on Wednesday.

175
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: Jim and I are flying down to Clearwater. We're going

176
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: to be reporting. Ruben's going to be down there throughout

177
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: the spring broadcasting. We are really all really excited to

178
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: get down there, Ruben. I want to ask, Oh my gosh,

179
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: my voice keeps cracking. Guys, It's okay.

180
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: I like mister Brady, mister master Brady.

181
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: That's right, Ruben. When you think about this spring, is

182
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 2: there a thing or two that you look toward or

183
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: are looking forward to seeing, or most interested in seeing.

184
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: His camp opens on Wednesday? What would that be for you?

185
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 5: Uh So, I got a couple of things. One is

186
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 5: I want to see what Bryson starts bringing to the table.

187
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 5: I want to see he's a really important piece to me.

188
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: I don't he's playing in the middle of the field.

189
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 5: I'm not worried about his defense. I just want to see,

190
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 5: like where he is mentally. I want to see where

191
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 5: Alec bowm is mentally. Does he walk into that clubhouse

192
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: and go, okay, man, I'm here, I'm going to do

193
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: my thing. I'm I'm ready to go and you know,

194
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 5: put all the bs behind me and go play.

195
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: And then finally, Lozardo, I'm intrigued by him. I think

196
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: he's going to be a great piece. Those those three things.

197
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 5: Right now are sort of top of mind for me,

198
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 5: And I'm just really curious about boom Stott and Lozardo

199
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 5: and how they're going to transform or help this team

200
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 5: hopefully and and move this team forward.

201
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got Jim.

202
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: Good stuff, great stuff.

203
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: I wrote down three things, but there's a dozen things

204
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 4: I want to watch and look at.

205
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: But I want to see how Alec Bowm walks in

206
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: Number one.

207
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 4: I hope he's got a good, healthy chip on his

208
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: shoulder and a smile on his face, and I hope

209
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: he comes in feeling like, you know, he's on top

210
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: of the world. He's I hope he walks in feeling

211
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 4: like he's gonna have the best year of his career,

212
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 4: the best two years of his career, coming off back

213
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 4: to back ninety seven RBI seasons. Time to put the

214
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: off season behind him. The rumors and all that stuff.

215
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: I don't you know, they I don't think they were fictitious.

216
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: I think they were real. I think I think they

217
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: were doing more than listening. I think they were initiating.

218
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: But the fact of the matter is Alec Bohm is

219
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 4: an awfully good player who's getting better, who is really

220
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: important to the middle of that lineup because he's a

221
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: right handed contact stick and now they need a big

222
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 4: year from him, and he needs a big year him

223
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: for himself. So I want to see, you know, just

224
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: how he comes in. Hopefully he's in a great attitude.

225
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 4: Like I said, I'm looking forward to having the best

226
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 4: two seasons of his career before free agency and number two,

227
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 4: I would, you know, I'm interested see what Ranger looks like,

228
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: what type of shape he's in physically and mentally, if

229
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 4: he's ready to kind of bite the head off of

230
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: nail and go out there and really prove something in

231
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: his walk, hear, because that'll be win win, That'll be

232
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 4: win win for.

233
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: The Phillies and for Rangers.

234
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: Suarez and I do think you can read a little

235
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: bit into a guy's mindset, body language early in camp

236
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: kind of he needs to be on a mission. And

237
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 4: the third thing I'm kind of interested to see maybe

238
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: more like when the games start and maybe even speaking

239
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: with him early on, does Tray Turner have that willingness

240
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: to kind of use the whole field a little bit,

241
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: which I think the Phillies they're hitting crew, hitting coaches

242
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 4: and whatnot. Rob Thompson, Dave Debroski, they all believe that

243
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: staying on the ball longer, using the rest of the

244
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: field will cut down on some of his baby swing

245
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: and miss and some of his chase. And if he

246
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 4: can do that, we know what type of electric player

247
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: he is. I mean, if he can do that, he

248
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 4: can compete for batting title. If he can get some

249
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 4: more selectivity. I mean, he's I think you want a

250
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 4: batting title before he's a He's a guy who you

251
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: can get beginning to end consistency from offensively and the

252
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 4: guy they need that from. And maybe he's going to

253
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 4: hit lead off, but an important guy, and so you know,

254
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 4: can he kind of use that whole field and not

255
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: get so pull happy. It'll he'll he'll be more of

256
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 4: a weapon offensively if he does.

257
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 5: And the other thing I'll just mentioned off of that,

258
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 5: Jim is how much is he going to run?

259
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: Is he going to hit in front of Harper? Does

260
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: Harper not want him to run in front of him?

261
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: Is that? Are they going to cut him loose?

262
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: Are they going to utilize that piece of his game

263
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 5: more so than they did last year?

264
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 3: I think it's been really important for him to do so.

265
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 5: Because that's a real weapon in his game and I

266
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 5: like to see him closer to forty bags than thirty,

267
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: and maybe closer to fifty bags, because he could do it,

268
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 5: and I know I'll see it, and you know, it'll

269
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 5: be interesting to see how he rebounds from like having

270
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 5: that injury to his hamstring, whether that really affects him

271
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 5: long term, or if he can you know, run a

272
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 5: couple of forty or fifty stolen based seasons back to

273
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 5: back before he starts to decline.

274
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: Well, a couple of things that I want to kind

275
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: of follow up, a couple of things that you guys said.

276
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: I will be interested really that that whatever day Alec

277
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: Bohm speaks to the media, Jim, what kind of how

278
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: he handles that? I guess. Does he come in crack

279
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: a joke? Does he smiled? Is he like, hey, you know,

280
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: you guys surprised to see me? You know? Does he

281
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: come in and like, oh, you guys want to talk

282
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: to me and have a bad attitude. I don't expect

283
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: Alec to do that. I think he's you know, he's

284
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: dealt with some serious adversity with the Phillies before, so,

285
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: but I am curious to see how he handles it.

286
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: It could be a real tone setter. You know, guy

287
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: could be hitting third this year, so you know you

288
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: kind of want him to come in with the right

289
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: frame of mind. But you're right, he should come in

290
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: go and I'm gonna have two monster years for the

291
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: Phillies and then let the cards fall where they may

292
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: down the road, and then, yeah, we like seeing Trey

293
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: run a little bit more is going to be interesting.

294
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: Will he do that? I know he has said to

295
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: me and others, you know, the past year, I just

296
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: don't run as much because I got I got Bryce

297
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: hitting right behind me, So you know, I just I

298
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: don't run as much. Maybe there's a way around that

299
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: where you can kind of force the issue a little

300
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: bit more so, But yeah, Alec Bohum is definitely interesting.

301
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: I kind of wrote about some of this the other

302
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: day in my newsletter, the Phillies Beat newsletter that I

303
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: do for MLB dot com, and Jim I Ranger was

304
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: at the top of my list because you know, we've heard,

305
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: you know, JT talk about him. We had Klebon last

306
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: month and Rob Thompson on recently, all talk about Ranger

307
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: and how man, if he's healthy and ready to go,

308
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: he's one of the best control gumes guys in the game.

309
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: He was arguably the best pitcher in baseball the first

310
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: two and a half three months of the season. So man,

311
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: if he comes into camp in great shape with that

312
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: eye of the tiger, he has a big year. Oh baby,

313
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: that rotation looks really, really good. So I'm curious to

314
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: see kind of what he looks like coming into camp.

315
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: And then Rubin you mentioned Hazes Lusizzardo coming off an injury.

316
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see what he looks like. But I'm

317
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: also curious to see what Max Kepler looks like. They're

318
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: banking on him a lot, a guy who has not

319
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: really been able to stay healthy in his career. I

320
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: don't think he's had more than four or ninety played

321
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: appearances in the season since twenty nineteen. He hasn't He's

322
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: hit lefties sometimes occasionally, but not great. But they say

323
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: he's their everyday left fielders, so he's gonna have to

324
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: I want to see what he looks like coming off

325
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: that core surgery that he had in October in Philadelphia.

326
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: And then of course Jordan Romano, they you know, he's

327
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: been thrown. I think JT said he caught him, you know,

328
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: last month or whatever. And man, he's he's a huge

329
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: piece because they didn't really sign anybody other than you know,

330
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: after losing Hoffmann and the Stevas, so I got Joe Ross,

331
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: but I'm talking end piece. So curious to see what

332
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: those three three guys are like and then big picture

333
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: whyse down the road, you know, kind of curious to you,

334
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: I aid Miller, I want to see justin Crawford how

335
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: they handle camp. You know, I'm gonna see what Mick

336
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: Abel does. I talked to him recently, and you know,

337
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: he's he's trying to simplify things in the mound and

338
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 2: not being you know, thinking so much about mechanics and

339
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: maybe analytics and your pitch shape and stuff, and just

340
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: kind of focusing on just what am I doing to

341
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: get guys out. Curious to see how he performs and yeah,

342
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: some of these young guys, Andrew Painter, of course he's

343
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: not going to pitch any games probably, but and just

344
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: maybe see what he looks like in bullpen sessions, get

345
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: the opinions of Stubbs and Marshawn and and JT afterwards,

346
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: to kind of see what you got going going from

347
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: those guys. But there's so much stuff they'll look forward

348
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: to I think this spring and and like we kind

349
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: of said at the beginning, just because they've kind of

350
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: taken a step back in the postseasons the last two years,

351
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: I don't think that this team is running it back

352
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: and they're not going to compete. You talk to them

353
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: as people around baseball, They'll say, Phillies are right there.

354
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: You know, the Dodgers are the favorites, but the Phillies,

355
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: the Phillies are right there.

356
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm really bullish on this team, honestly. I mean, I

357
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: know the fans.

358
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 5: We went through this whole process in you know, eight nine,

359
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 5: ten eleven when we sort of ACKed off as far as,

360
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 5: like you know, advancing in playoffs.

361
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: But this is still really really talented team man with.

362
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 5: Good defense, good speed, good power, got a lot of things,

363
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 5: and I think there's room for improvement, even offensively.

364
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: Especially and I think it's going to be.

365
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 5: A really good season and really interesting season for fans

366
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: to enjoy.

367
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: It is amazing how many people say to me they

368
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 4: didn't do anything.

369
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: You know, they're going the wrong way.

370
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: And I still like their personnel a lot.

371
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: I think they're going to play in October.

372
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: I would I would bet right now, they're going to

373
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 4: play in October and then it's about correcting the flaws

374
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 4: that have knocked out of the last two Octobers and

375
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: they have the ability to do that.

376
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean when we had JT on on

377
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: last week, and if you haven't listened to that episode,

378
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: go back and listened to it, because he was great.

379
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: I thought he was great. He's always super insightful. But yeah,

380
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: I think when he says he's excited about the team,

381
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: really likes the team. I believe he believes that. I

382
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: don't think he's just going like, I don't think it's

383
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: lip service with JT. I think that this team really

384
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: does believe that they played just a little bit better

385
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: in the postseason, they can beat the Dodgers and they

386
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: can go on and win the World Series. Speaking of JT,

387
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: when you think back to that interview, what stood out

388
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: to you, guys, is anything anything new that you learned

389
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: or whatever that you know you kind of were interested in.

390
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: Well, the cool thing about him is that the man

391
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 3: doesn't want to sit down. I mean, the man wants

392
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: to play.

393
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 5: He's and I think he also I just get this

394
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 5: feeling and he loves his team so much and that

395
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 5: he's cognizant of being a free agent after the year.

396
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: I got to believe that he really wants to be

397
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 5: here because I think he enjoys it here.

398
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: I think he's got you know, he has a home

399
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: and clearwater all that stuff. He's sort of shifted his.

400
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 5: Life here and I think he's really enjoyed his experience here,

401
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 5: and I got to believe that he wants to stay.

402
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 5: It'll be interesting to see how they attack that free agent,

403
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 5: isn't you know, pending free agency.

404
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: Oh, I gotta think he wants to be here. This

405
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 4: is this is a destination major League baseball city, you know,

406
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: and even with Yamamoto and the other Japanese players going elsewhere,

407
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 4: this is the place, you know. I mean Roy Halladay

408
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 4: wanted to be here, Cliff Lee wanted to be here.

409
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 4: There was a little bit of a lull, but Bryce Harper,

410
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: jt Real mudeauz, Zach Wheeler, they all wanted.

411
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: To be here. And you know that.

412
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: You know, it will continue to be a destiny nation

413
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 4: because they have a good ownership and they're gonna win

414
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: a lot of ball games. But you know, the ultimate

415
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 4: is winning the World Series, and that's what everybody top

416
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: to bottom wants. But I would think JT would love

417
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: to end his career here and would I would bet

418
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 4: Kyle Schwarmer probably feels the same way. There's a guy

419
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 4: that's also going to be a free agent at the

420
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 4: end of the year, so they have some tough calls,

421
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 4: but I would be willing to bet management would love

422
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 4: to extend the relationship with both guys because both guys

423
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 4: bring so much to the table.

424
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody for GT, go ahead to him.

425
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 5: I don't want to sound like a Homer here, but

426
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 5: I think the players know how well they're treated here.

427
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: I think news travels fast. People understand.

428
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 5: I mean from top to bottom, whether it's the PR people,

429
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 5: the cr people, the family people, all the people that

430
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 5: are involved with taking care of the players. They do

431
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 5: everything they possibly can do to make the player feel

432
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 5: comfortable here. Not only with the payroll, because the payroll

433
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 5: is what number three and all of baseball, it's astronomical.

434
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 5: They want to win or number two, whatever it is.

435
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 5: It's astronomical because the ownership wants to win, and the

436
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: coaching staff wants to win, and all those players they

437
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 5: want to win too, And I think that's that creates

438
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 5: a great environment there, and obviously the fans want to

439
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 5: win because there's passionate as anybody on the planet. So

440
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 5: why wouldn't you want to play in Philadelphia and a

441
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 5: great ballpark and a great city that's that's good to

442
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 5: support them.

443
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: You're right. I have heard players say that after they leave.

444
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: And obviously, if you're gonna get ten million dollars more

445
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: to play for another team, you're gonna you need to

446
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: take that money. I get it. But I've talked to

447
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: enough players over the years after they leave, they go, Man,

448
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: they just don't treat us like they do in Philly. Man,

449
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: they really they really take it to my family in Philly.

450
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: They really do an excellent job with the families and

451
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: just taking care of people and doing the right thing.

452
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: And that that's a nice little perk that they get.

453
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: So let's let's wrap this up. This is something we've

454
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: been wanting to do for a while. So I did

455
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: a book signing at the Shy Ventured Sports and Wheelhouse

456
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: Cards and uh in Ardmore back in December, and I

457
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: was talking about baseball cards with the guys there, Charles

458
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: and Ryan Michael and and they said, hey, want to

459
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: want to open up some packs of cards, and so

460
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: he gave us. He gave me three packs of tops Chrome.

461
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm showing this if you're watching this on YouTube, Tops

462
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 2: Chrome twenty twenty four. And this is the idea was,

463
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: guys at the time. We're about a month late, but

464
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: the idea was at the time we would open these

465
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: up and one of us would hit the Paul Skins

466
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: Rookie card and we'd be we'd be a millionaires. Paul

467
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: Paul Skan's card has been found by an eleven year

468
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: old out in California, so it looks like he's going

469
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: to college. Some were pretty nice down the road, but that, yeah,

470
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: real nice. But I thought we would still hope we

471
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: each got a pack of cards, and if if you're

472
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: watching on YouTube, we'll show you the cards and and

473
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: maybe uh you know, we'll we'll talk about some of these.

474
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: Let's see what we get. So again, the Paul Skins

475
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: Skeen's card is gone, but there I was like, super frae. Yeah,

476
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: those are still worth some money. So you get like

477
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: a one of one. Bryce Harper, I don't know what's

478
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: still out there, but you want to open him. You

479
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: want to start rubin and tell us what you got

480
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 2: to open up your package.

481
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: All right, it's Jackson Holiday on that front cover.

482
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: I think that one's been found as well, and I

483
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: think I was just checking out on eBay UT six. Yeah,

484
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: it would be good to get something fun. But these

485
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: cars are pretty sweet.

486
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 5: Guy that I used to scout on my first one,

487
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 5: A J.

488
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: Puck, Oh nice, all right.

489
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 4: I saw him pitch in college when in sixteen I

490
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 4: drove up to Gainesville when the Phillies had the number

491
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: one pick. I drove from clear Water to Gainesville to

492
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: watch him pitch to do a story on because you know,

493
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 4: they were considering him as a number one pick. They

494
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: ended up getting Moniac. But he was a big lad big.

495
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 3: I watched him as a sophomore.

496
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 5: He's taking VP and launching balls out of the ballpark

497
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 5: and throwing like a thousand miles an.

498
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: Hour at that. He's somebody.

499
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 7: And then I was bad before I got a chance

500
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 7: to to.

501
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 3: Draft the guy. Would you believe they gave me two

502
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: of them?

503
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: Wait you get you got two ages?

504
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 3: That is that?

505
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: Is that?

506
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: A thing?

507
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: Is that like a thing?

508
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: Impact?

509
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: That is well is the front of the cars. The

510
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: problem are they the same looking car? Like?

511
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: Not that same car?

512
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: So It's not like one is a one of twenty

513
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 2: or anything like that. It's just.

514
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Yeah, one's got a silver. One's a

Speaker 2: puck one has got a little bit with the check into.

518
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: That little silver also I got I got Christian Scott

519
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: from the Mets.

520
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: Okay, pretty, uh there you go?

521
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: And then which is uh eighty nine of one hundred

522
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: and ninety nine. So that doesn't do me much good?

523
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did not do well, a very lucky in

524
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 5: these things.

525
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: Give me why don't you go next? All right, what's

526
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: a gym? When's the last time you opened up a

527
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: pack of baseball cards?

528
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 4: Spend years? But I did a lot of it as

529
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 4: a kid. I used to go down the the village

530
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 4: pharmacy and buy the baseball cards, and I'd smell the

531
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: gum and then we'd put it.

532
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: We wouldn't chew the gum. It was so wonderful.

533
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: I used to chow out. You know what. I used

534
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: to love baseball three chews.

535
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: The juice was gone.

536
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: Baseball cards and hockey cards.

537
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: I loved hockey cards.

538
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 5: My thing was a slurpy I used to collect those

539
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 5: slurping cups with all the players and baseball players.

540
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,640

Speaker 3: there you go.

553
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: So far. If you had to pick a team based

554
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: off of cards, I think Ruben would be the front runner.

555

Speaker 3: Right really, right now, Christian Scott, I.

556

00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 5: You know.

583
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: So all right, So Philly's pitchers and catchers have their

584
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: first workout on Wednesday, and clear Water will be there.

587
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: First couple of games.

588
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be doing them on NBC Sports Philadelphia doing

589
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 5: the broadcast. I believe Tom Karthy will be there. I'm

590
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 5: not sure if he's gonna be doing basketball at that time.

591
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 5: I think the twenty third and twenty fourth game against

592
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: the first one is.

593
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 8: The second was the Pirates, the first one was Baltimore Orioles,

594
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 8: so I'm pretty familiar with them. Cover them for ESPN

595
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 8: on the radio against Kansas City in that in that

596
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 8: division series. So that's an interesting team as well, very

597
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 8: young team that they didn't do a lot in the

598
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 8: offseason at all, and it'll be interesting to see how

599
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 8: they bounced back from getting knocked out for early last year.

600
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: You gonna go to the parade, Ruben.
