35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: It's great, fantastic. I'm going Charlie's Hamburgers. It's on McDade

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: Boulevard in Fulsome. That place is awesome. It's been around forever.

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the place has been around forever, and that's

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: a different location.

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Fantastic burgers, great shakes. My kids love it. Ruben, you

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: got a cheeseburger then before we move on.

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: To I don't need it.

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: I don't need a ton of cheeseburgers.

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 5: But I'm here at Yardley Country Club, and the chef

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 5: here puts together gets their names Kelly, she's really good.

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 5: Puts together a really great cheeseburger. I don't eat it

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: all that often, but when I do, and like, it's

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 5: pretty solid. Here at the Alexander's Pub.

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: Pretty solid.

49
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: It was Zach Wheeler last night better than solid. He

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: was really good last night. Nineteen if they started the

51
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: game with nineteen straight fastballs, so you know it was hummon.

52
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: It really dominated the Brewers and they.

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: Get a big win. They get a big win. So

54
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: the Phillies. So everybody wants to know, like what's the

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: postseason situation.

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: If you haven't kept up on it, The Phillies tonight

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 2: Wednesday night can clinch a postseason berth with a win

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: or a Braves lost. Rob Thompson said, they will acknowledge

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: it somehow. They might do a little champagne toast, maybe

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: have a couple of beers. We're gonna save the big

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: champagne celebration for the NL East clinch if that happens,

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: which they assume it will or they hope it will,

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: so they can clinch a post season birtha night magic

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: number to clinch the division is for that. That could

65
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: happen as early as tomorrow night. But going back to Wheeler,

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: guys uh Cy Young, Bryce Harper said after the game,

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: that's my Cy Young winner.

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: What do you think the chances are? What do you

69
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: think of his effort.

70
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: I thought his you know, speaking of cheeseburgers, I mean,

71
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: he had some cheese last night. Man, what a fastball

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: he had, you know. And after a season, basically a

73
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: season a worth of workload, guys getting stronger. I mean,

74
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: how that bodes so well for October. I just love

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: this guy. I love his competitiveness, his seriousness, his seriousness

76
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: about his craft. He just rode that fastball last night

77
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: and had another great start. It's like great start off

78
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: to great start off to great start. You know. It's

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: certainly cy young worthy. I don't know if he's going

80
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: to get it, because Chris Sale is cy young worthy

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: as well, and may be you know, a tick ahead

82
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: at this point. But gosh, what a season to hang

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: your hat on. And you know I've said this before.

84
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: He might be the guy that can you know, jump

85
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: on you know, like Cole Hamil's in two thousand and eight,

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: they jumped on his back. Zach Wheeler might be the

87
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: guy that can jump on on his back and he

88
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: can ride them to a really good thing in October.

89
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: So I don't know if he's gonna win the Cy

90
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: Young He's gonna be one or two. But what a

91
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: tremendous season. Again, what a tremendous trade. I'm sorry signing

92
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: when they acquired him. Boy, they've gotten their money's worse.

93
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, no question about it. I mean this guy.

94
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 5: He threw seventy seven percent fastballs. I think it was

95
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: sixty four percent four seamers and thirteen percent sinkers. Now

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 5: for eighteen any team to the face a major league

97
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: team and to be able to throw that many effective fastballs,

98
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: then you've got a great one of the best path

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 5: fastballs in the game. His ride and his sink and

100
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: his ability to place that fastball where he wants is

101
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: absolutely spectacular. I love the way he goes about it.

102
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 5: He's not afraid of anything. There are actual times when

103
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 5: I will think about this, but I get a little

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 5: concerned in a playoff situation where you know, once in

105
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: a while you want to spin one, you want to

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 5: get a guy off of basketball, He's going to go

107
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: after him with his basketball. Hopefully he can locate it

108
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 5: obviously to the right spot. But you know this guy

109
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: is and I said it last night on air, and

110
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 5: I'll say it again. If I need to win a

111
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 5: baseball game one, he's the guy I want on the

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 5: mound to win that baseball game. And he's doing it

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: against the best teams. I mean he's dominated. I mean

114
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 5: his numbers against the Brewers, the Dodgers, the teams that

115
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: are leading divisions, they're spectacular.

116
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: I mean he's been great. Now.

117
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 5: I know Chris Sale has had a great year. And

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: I love Chris Sale. I had him in Boston as

119
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: a coach. I think he's spectacular, and he's a great competitor,

120
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: and it's an amazing comeback story. There's no question about it.

121
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 5: Alexanthopolis did the hell of a job with that. Imagine

122
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: where they would be without him. That said, just with

123
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 5: the label of consistency that I see, the fact that

124
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 5: he eats up more innings than anybody, the fact that

125
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 5: he has opponent's average and his opponents on base percentage,

126
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 5: all those things wrapped up into the package that he's

127
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 5: dealt with the best team in baseball, with the best

128
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: team in baseball.

129
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: You got to give some credit to that too.

130
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: I think, I honestly think that this guy should win

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 5: the Cy Young and he was screwed out of it

132
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 5: last in twenty twenty one. I think it was twenty

133
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 5: twenty one, twenty twenty one when Corbin Burns won it.

134
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 5: That was a s show because there's no reasonabhy that

135
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 5: guy should not have won it that year.

136
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper said the same thing last night postgame. He

137
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: brought that up on prompt. He's like young and he

138
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: got screwed three years ago, so he deserves it win that. Ruben,

139
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: you mentioned how goodies begin against these n L postseason contenders.

140
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: I think in the era against those teams, the guy's

141
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: fighting for a wild card division Titler one point four

142
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: something like that.

143
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, one point one point yeah, some ridiculous number.

144
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And Reese Hoskins after the game last

145
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: night said, you know, he knew he's like he started

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: the game with nineteen twenty straight fastballs, and when he's

147
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: thrown it that much, you're just like, oh my gosh,

148
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: it's such a challenge. When when when he feels he's

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: when you know he's coming at you with the fastball,

150
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: it just makes you feel even like you're in for

151
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: a bigger, more difficult night because you're like, Okay, this

152
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: guy is really good about himself.

153
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: It's going to be a real challenge. And uh, it

154
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: absolutely was.

155
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: And it's not just a Vlo. There's a lot of

156
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: big fastballs in the game today. I mean, and Ruben

157
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: alluded to this, but I mean his ability to ride

158
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: it up in the zone and his ability to locate

159
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: it is the separated the difference maker on that fastball.

160
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: You know, you combine the ability to locate it or

161
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: ride it right at the letters with that great velo,

162
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: and man, you got something.

163
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: We did a little breakdown of him last last night,

164
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: and what was really interesting to see is his overall

165
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: development in his delivery to put him in place to

166
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 5: be able to pinpoint his command the way he does.

167
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 5: He used to be way back when over his head,

168
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 5: step back over his head, and I like over the head.

169
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 4: Guys because I think it creates some deception.

170
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 5: But for him, I think he ended up coming to

171
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 5: now to sort of his chest and he keeps his

172
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: hands in here tighter. He's got a different type of

173
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: setup as far as his you know, takeaway and things.

174
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: He's made it much more compact, his suite, his leg

175
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 5: swing isn't as high. He's made these subtle adjustments, significant

176
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 5: but subtle to be able to command that fastball the

177
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: way he needs to command it and to be as

178
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: effective with as he possibly can. I liken him a

179
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 5: little bit with his ability to ride the fastball to

180
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: Kurt Chilling, because Shill had a nice, smooth delivery in

181
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 5: that ball exploded into the zone much like Wheelers, and

182
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: I just love his overall development as a player, as

183
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: a person, as a pitcher.

184
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I think he's the best.

185
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,199

211
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: is on Instagram. Heather and Bucks.

212
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: County PA wants to know who will make the postseason

213
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: roster and I guess maybe we should look at this.

214
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 2: Let's start with this question. Guys, do you carry thirteen

215
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 2: pictures or do you carry twelve pictures to give you

216
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: an extra bench bat. I will say this, if they

217
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: carry thirteen pictures, that thirteenth pitcher is going to be

218
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: Colby Allard, Max Lazar. You know, it could be Spencer Turnbull,

219
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: It could be you know, I wrote down who I

220
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: can't remember who the fourth guy would be, but the

221
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: options are and obviously not the greatest. I guess you

222
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: could say I would go with the extra bench bat

223
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: give you some more flexibility. I like what Rob Thompson

224
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: did the other night when he had sent Buddy Kennedy

225
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: to the plate and then he brought him back, and

226
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: then he sent Cody Clems the plate when the Brewers

227
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: changed pitching. It gives you a little bit more options.

228
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: They have more options on how they use left field

229
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: in centerfield. With Cal Stevenson can place in center field,

230
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: you can move Brandon Marshall over from left to center,

231
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: throw Cody Clems or Wes Wilson out there. So I

232
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: like the idea in a series of having that extra

233
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: bench bat, and you know, rather than having a guy

234
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: that you're probably only going to use if you're getting

235
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: absolutely blown out and you have Taiwan Walker for that.

236
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: I I've talked to Rob about the twelve and thirteen

237
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: question before. He likes thirteenth pitchers. But to me, postseason

238
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: is a different ballgame, and like you said, I agree

239
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: with you probably only using that guy in a blowout situation.

240
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: To me, that's just I mean, it sounds simplistic, but

241
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: that's negative thinking. I would probably go ops for the

242
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: extra extra bench guy, extra bench batch, just because this

243
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: bench has been so important to you and been so productive,

244
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: and you've got some real energy there. I don't know

245
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: who it would be. Wes Wilson, Cody Clemens, Cal Stevenson.

246
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: Who the extra guy would be. Stevenson's intriguing you play

247
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: a little bit of defense. He's a left handed stick.

248
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 3: Wes Wilson, productive bat. Cody Clemens left handed bat, has

249
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: had a lot of big moments for this team. I

250
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: like the energy and the chemistry those guys bring and

251
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: the production they've shown when called upon. I don't know

252
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: how often they'd be called upon in the postseason, but

253
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: I think as we sit here two weeks to go

254
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 3: before maybe they have to start, you know, finalizing those decisions,

255
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: I would lean toward the extra bench guy and not

256
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: worry about being blown out and having somebody to go

257
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: out and suck it up. If I'm getting blown out.

258
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: There's no question it's going to be an extra bench bat.

259
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 5: No question in my mind that's exactly what it's going

260
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 5: to be. You can market here right now, and if

261
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 5: I'm wrong, I'll lose my house again, because every time

262
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 5: I bet something, I'll lose my house. Anyway, it's gonna

263
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: be an extra bench it's gonna Yeah, it's gonna be

264
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 5: an extra bench bat. And the question is is it

265
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 5: going to be Cal Stevenson. Is it going to be

266
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 5: Cody Clemens, Because I think it's going to be one

267
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: of those left handed bats.

268
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 4: And I think it just uh and a lot of

269
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: it and a lot of thought will go into this.

270
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 5: It will depend on that team that they are playing,

271
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 5: if they have a lot of left handers in their bullpen,

272
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 5: if they have a lot of right handers in the bullpen.

273
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: It will depend on Western Wilson's in net mix as well.

274
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 5: And I think it's going to be you know, Rob

275
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 5: Thompson thinking through those situations, Okay, I'm gonna pinch it

276
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 5: for Johann Rojas in the in a late situation when

277
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 5: I need somebody, Okay, can I play marshon center or

278
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 5: do I have to have Cal Stevenson be that guy

279
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 5: in center field? And I think that they're trying to

280
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 5: find out a little bit about Cal Stevenson right now

281
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 5: and that's one of the reasons why he's playing a

282
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: little bit and a little bit more. And I think

283
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: and this is just me thinking as a GM, as

284
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 5: a manager, as you know, I think you have to find.

285
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 4: Out about this stuff because if you look at it

286
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 4: in a vacuum right now, it's Cody Clements.

287
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 5: Cody Clements has to be a left handed bat because

288
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 5: he's a better left handed bat. But they got to

289
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 5: think about the situations that are going to be created

290
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: and what teams and you know, all the scenarios, and

291
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: that's the decision making is I love I missed those

292
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: those meetings because we had those meetings for five straight

293
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: years trying to decide, you know, how the matchups are

294
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 5: going to work, and how Charlie Mannon was going to

295
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 5: use those guys and it's a it's a really cool

296
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 5: thing to see, but it's going to be an extra

297
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 5: bench bat. Cayl Stevenson, Cody Clemens, Western Wilson in the mix.

298
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: I got to believe that at the end of the day,

299
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 5: Cody Clemens is my guy.

300
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

301
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Cody's at bats have been so good, they

302
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: seem to be so consistently high quality.

303
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: It would make a lot of sense.

304
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: Austin Hayes took a big step forward yesterday and his recovery.

305
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: He's been out with a kidney infection. Rob basically said

306
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: he woke up yesterday.

307
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: Feeling amazing, and you know they think he could possibly

308
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: get into a rehab game before the end of the weekend.

309
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: This is the last weekend with for Lee High Valley,

310
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: so if he.

311
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: Comes back, it would basically leave two bench jobs if

312
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: we're talking about Stevenson, Clemens, and Wilson.

313
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Two bench jobs for those three guys.

314
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: Buddy Kennedy, I guess is in there, but they optioned

315
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: him out to Triple A yesterday freed Mundo Sosa. So

316
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: really two bench jobs for two bench guys for three

317
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: Two of those bench spots for Stevens and Clemens and

318
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: Wilson of Austin Hayes returns. If Hayes is not able

319
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: to play, then Stevenson, Clemens, and Wilson probably I'll I'll

320
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: all make the bench.

321
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: Let's see t Montgomery. We got Actually, we gotta have

322
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: several questions the past few weeks.

323
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: People want to know what our favorite Phillies jersey is

324
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: of all time, favorite Phillies uniform is of all time.

325
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying powder blues. I love the powder blues.

326
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: I love the classic home white pinstriped with red shoes

327
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: and a red belt. Uh and I love the two

328
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: splashes of blue on the stars. I'm a I'm you know,

329
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: give me the Detroit Tigers, the Boston Red Sox, the

330
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: Yankees and Dodgers. I like a traditional home white and

331
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: a road gray. And I love the Phillies home whites

332
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,479
Speaker 3: with the pinstripes and the two blue splashes.

333
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do a serious

334
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 4: cop out.

335
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 5: I love what the home uniform that Jim talked about,

336
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: and I love the way uniform that that Zoe talked about.

337
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: Those are my two favorite.

338
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 5: I mean, there's that, there's you know, there's cream, there's

339
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: all types of different colors. I will say unequivocally, the

340
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 5: home uniform is just so pure in pristine.

341
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: I love putting it on. For the first time.

342
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if they had the stars on it

343
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 5: when they switched over in ninety two. That was the

344
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 5: first time they went back do that. I think it

345
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 5: had the stars on it. That's, you know, near and

346
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: dear to my heart because that's the first Billies uniform

347
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 5: I've wore and the first time I made a major

348
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 5: league team out of spring training, and uh, and I

349
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 5: just love the powder Blues, man, They're so sweet take.

350
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: Them JPP on Instagram.

351
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: And I can just answer this real quickly if you

352
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: guys have anything to add pel free. Why didn't Mick

353
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: Abel get a call up? And I guess I will

354
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: say this. He finished his season yesterday, gave up eight

355
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: runs and two and thirty innings, finished the season with

356
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: a six point four to six e r A.

357
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: And there you have it in there and there you

358
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: have it. I mean, you know, I don't know were.

359
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 4: Ready to be in the big leagues. Man, it's as

360
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 4: simple as that.

361
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Not n Yeah, he.

362
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: Didn't earn it. You got to earn it. Man. This

363
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: is a you know, achievement business. And he it's a

364
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: big concern the way he has fun his wheels. This

365
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: is you know, he was what he's picked in twenty twenty.

366
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: You should be knocking at the door now when he

367
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: just you know, he walked over six batters per nine innings.

368
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: I mean it's too much.

369
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to be ready to pitch in the

370
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 4: big leagues.

371
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 5: All this bs, I will say bullshit about guys just

372
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 5: getting thrown into the big leagues because you know they.

373
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 4: Just played at a level. You have to master that.

374
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: You should be able to master that.

375
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 5: Level, you'd be able to master double A and master

376
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: triple A and be able to be prepared to pitch

377
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 5: in the big leagues. That's the type of player that

378
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 5: you don't bring to the big leagues as a spot starter.

379
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 5: You bring him to the big leagues because he's got

380
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 5: a future and you got to let him develop and

381
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 5: become the player he needs to be. Same reason why

382
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: we took a lot of time with Nola, not a lot,

383
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 5: but enough time because he needs to be ready to go.

384
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 5: And he's kind of a guy that you hope when

385
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 5: you bring him he stays and that it's.

386
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: A sign if it can setback for the organization. You know,

387
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 3: number one first round pick, you got to hit on them. Yeah,

388
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: right hander, starting pitcher. He hasn't progressed them. And I'm

389
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: not saying it's over yet because I know all pitchers

390
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: take different times and some take more time than others.

391
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: And I still hope it happens for him because it's

392
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: so important. Starting pitching is so important. Not hitting on

393
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 3: any number one pick is really important. But you know,

394
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: right now, it's uh, it's to me set back for

395
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 3: the organization because helping your own pitch, you're bringing your

396
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: own pitching is so important.

397
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: Cute and let me just say this, Carlos Carrasco. You

398
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: got guys like Gavin Floyd. You have guys that hate

399
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 5: some time to get there.

400
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 4: And to get it done. Michael Kopek.

401
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 5: Michael Kopek, you know, was supposed to be the greatest

402
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 5: pitcher of all time coming out of college with the

403
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 5: greatest arm. Well now he's pitching in a bullpen and

404
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 5: doing really, really well.

405
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: But it takes time. It takes time.

406
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 5: It's and this is not football or basketball. Guys have

407
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 5: to take time to develop and to find their own way.

408
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 3: Still troubling though we haven't seen more progress.

409
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 5: No, I agree, I agree, but listen again, it's it

410
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: was a high school draft, right, Abel was a high

411
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 5: school draft. He's got a long leverage guy. He's probably

412
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: bodies still changing and growing. There's all types of stuff

413
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 5: that's going on as far as his mechanics and stuff.

414
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 5: You got to give him some time. You got to

415
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 5: be patient. People aren't patient.

416
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 4: I get it. Hang with him. He's got great stuff.

417
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: And I'm always on the side of patient. So we've

418
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: talked about it takes time. I've used Gavin Floyd as

419
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: an example. Before. I'm certainly not giving up on this kid.

420
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 3: I just would like to have seen a little more.

421
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: I'd like to see the needle pointing a little closer

422
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: to Philadelphia, and it just hasn't. So I still hope

423
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: it all happens for this kid, because I still think

424
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: he's an important piece great stuff.

425
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: Oh Marlin Santana on X are we going after Juan Soto?

426
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, Bob Nightingale said the Phillies could

427
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: be in the mix this offseason and could be one

428
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: of five teams taking a run at them.

429
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: I think if the Phillies do.

430
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: Take a run at one, so toa it'll be a

431
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: you know, throw a number out there, we know it's

432
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: not going to win type of situation.

433
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: What do you guys think?

434
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 3: I think you you know, you find out what the

435
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: market is. You have the conversation just so you can

436
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: stay informed and maybe drive the price up on some

437
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 3: of your competitors and kind of know what people are

438
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 3: up to. But I you know that thing is probably

439
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 3: going north. With five hundred million and with two three

440
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: hundred million players already, one signed for seven more years,

441
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: one signed for nine more years, and your payroll and

442
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 3: you're you know, you're creeping up on that second and

443
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: third luxury tax I just don't see it being a fit.

444
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 3: And I think you'll be connected to them all winter

445
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: because the Phillies are a deep pocketed team. They've signed

446
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: big contracts before, they have a good relationship with Scott Boris.

447
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: And it be who's you know, the Soto side to

448
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: attach the Phillies to them because they're a team that

449
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: has spent spent money. I I would eat my shoe

450
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: if he's clee Water in March or February.

451
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: So then you'll get another bet.

452
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 4: Let me let me just say this.

453
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 5: I wouldn't put past Dave Dombrowski and John Middleton that

454
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 5: said I know that they're leveraged.

455
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, they're they're.

456
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 5: Well above You know, Philadelphia is a big market, There's

457
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 5: no question about it. It's not nearly as big a

458
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 5: market as LA and in New York. And that's true.

459
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 5: The ability to drive revenue in Philadelphia is different in

460
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: Philadelphia than it is in New York in LA. It's

461
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 5: just different. And you know, again it would be it

462
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 5: would behoove them to kick the tires just because of

463
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: his his age. What they think his age is and

464
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 5: the fact that you know, at least at some point,

465
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 5: those stars are going to get older and older, the

466
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 5: ones that have already signed, the Turners there, they're gonna

467
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: be in there late mid to late thirties here quickly.

468
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 4: And this kid's still pretty young.

469
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 5: It's not the worst guy to think about as far

470
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: as signing, But I doubt it's gonna happened.

471
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 4: But they'll I don't think it's gonna happen. But it's

472
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 4: something that.

473
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: The Philly they have an obligation to their fans to

474
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 3: be in on every big star. I just don't see

475
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: it happening.

476
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 4: Correct.

477
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 3: And for a couple of another reason, he's had this

478
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: monster year with the New York Yankees, the most storied

479
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 3: franchise in sports. How do they let him get away?

480
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 4: They will not, and if they do, then Brian Cashman

481
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: should be fired. Yeah, it's as simple as that. Brian

482
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 4: Cashman and Stein Benner should be fired. They should both

483
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: go away. Yeah.

484
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they strong words from Ruby THO.

485
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 5: That's because they can't the man's heat of the player.

486
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 5: They have to keep him. That's I mean, it's for

487
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 5: the same reason they had to keep Judge Judge heply ridiculous.

488
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 5: They're they're the most prolific three four.

489
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 4: Punch or two repunch, whatever you want to call it,

490
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 4: in the history of the game in New York. It's

491
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 4: not happening.

492
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: I don't see them letting them get away. But you know,

493
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: if let's say the San Francisco Giants, who you know,

494
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 3: have had a history of having star players, really haven't

495
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: had one in a while, and they're they're sort of

496
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: desperate to be relevant again, what happens if they do

497
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 3: something silly and crazy and you know, check book wise.

498
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the Yankees are going to be

499
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: right on them and make a big play. I'm just

500
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: surprised to hear you think they should be fired if

501
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: they don't get them.

502
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 4: Bill been fired.

503
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 5: Everybody else can be fired Bill Brown, everybody hired to

504
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 5: get fired Bill Brown.

505
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: On X We had a couple other questions along this vein.

506
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: Are you guys confident comfortable with the offense heading into

507
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs?

508
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: Still not seeing the consistency?

509
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: That's I mean, that's the big That's the one thing

510
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: people ask me, like, you know, how do the Phillies

511
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: not win the World Series? Well, and they could go

512
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: cold again, like they did in the NLCS. Offensively, Yeah,

513
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: so I think this cham oh you know, yeah, I

514
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: thought you were gonna go.

515
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 3: No, it's swinging miss and leaving a bunch of men

516
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: in scoring position and going cold would run us. The

517
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: scoring position is unfortunately in their DNA, chasing stuff off

518
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 3: the off the play, trying to hit eighteen run home runs,

519
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 3: doing too much and getting in a bad way offensively.

520
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: It's something that can happen to this team. We saw

521
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: it happened that at stages this regular season. We saw

522
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: it happened unfortunately last postseason. It can rear its head.

523
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: But you know, when they're on, they're dynamic, and they

524
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 3: got to hit home runs to be successful. We've seen

525
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 3: it here lately. So do I think they can put

526
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: together another good month of offense. Absolutely? Do I think

527
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 3: they can go cold for a couple of games and

528
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: end up, you know, going home. Absolutely. You just hope

529
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: it's more of the good stuff.

530
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: So you hope that yesterday was sort of a Microcosmohe

531
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 5: I think it can be and can happen, and you

532
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 5: hope that it works works out for the Phillies.

533
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 4: They struck out sixteen times sixteen and.

534
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 5: They've struck out sixteen or more four times this year,

535
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 5: and they've won all four games.

536
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 4: And the reason why they won all four games because

537
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: they hit some home runs.

538
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 5: And so yes, it can happen, but you'd like to

539
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 5: see a little bit more contact. That's why Juan Soto

540
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 5: becomes a very interesting fellow.

541
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: Now he's a Philly.

542
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 4: The other guys won't get fired.

543
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: We're just having fun. How about this guy? This is

544
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: quite the honor Winston Churchill on X the Winston Churchill

545
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure now back from the grave. Are you guys

546
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: concerned for Ranger Suarez in the postseason?

547
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: Yes?

548
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: Do you answer that?

549
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: Well?

550
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: I am.

551
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: I don't feel confident with Ranger sware is right now

552
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: going into the postseason. He has two more starts, he

553
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: has not had the command that he's had his fastball.

554
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: Isn't there doesn't seem to be the same type of guy.

555
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: I asked Rob Thompson the other uh, two nights ago.

556
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: Is he is he in shape? Is does he have

557
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: his lower body?

558
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: You know?

559
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: Is there something going on there? And he swears that

560
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: he's in shape. Ranger Suarez says, is he in shape?

561
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: Now?

562
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: The one thing the Ranger swore is his credit is that.

563
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,959
Speaker 2: You know, Rob also mentioned again I think he's just

564
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 2: trying to like deflect some criticism on Ranger swars. He said, well,

565
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: you know, this is kind of still part of his

566
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: rehabit signment. It's five starts into his rehabit signment. Ranger

567
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: Sware said, I am not going to this. I do

568
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: not feel this is a rehab assignment. I don't I

569
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: didn't go on a rehabit signment because I don't feel

570
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: like I needed one. But uh, I don't feel great

571
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: about Ranger Suarez right now in his ability to pitch

572
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 2: in a big game because he hasn't really shown it

573
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: so far.

574
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: He just does not look like himself.

575
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: And I'm not even comparing him to the first half

576
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: of the season when he was otherworldly and era under two.

577
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: He doesn't look like the guy that he was the

578
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: past two years when he was in the postseason and

579
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: he was kind of like this. You know, Tom Cool

580
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: collected gives you five five plus innings of just great baseball.

581
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. He can get back, he

582
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: can get it back. He's got too much.

583
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 5: He does not have his legs underneath him. Okay, he

584
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 5: doesn't have his sea legs. It's clear that he runs

585
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 5: out of gas very quickly. I would throw him in

586
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 5: unless something drastically changes in the next two starts.

587
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 4: He's got I think he's got two stars left.

588
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would not have him be in the rotation,

589
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 5: and I would put him in the bullpen and hope

590
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: that he can get guys out.

591
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: I know that he has the gumption to do it.

592
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: I know I don't have any problem giving him the baseball,

593
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 5: but I'm giving him the baseball and short spurts because

594
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 5: he's not. It's not even a question as to who's

595
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 5: a better picture right now here Sanchez. That's a no brainer.

596
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: Sanchez is clearly way ahead of him. I think Ranger.

597
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 5: I don't think that he is in the physical condition.

598
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 5: It is necessary for him to be as effective as

599
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 5: he was. If you looked at him and took pictures

600
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 5: of him and looked at his body content and how

601
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 5: it was coming out of spring training and he had

602
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 5: finally had a full spring training.

603
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: We talked about this a lot.

604
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: Where he was able to get his pitch count up,

605
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 5: get his legs underneath him, get his body in shape.

606
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 4: He was a different picture. Best picture in baseball. Thank you.

607
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: Now after coming back with the back, after the back issues,

608
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 5: he's I don't think he's in the same spot physically

609
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 5: that he was that he was then. And it is

610
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 5: fairly obvious to me with the arm speed and his

611
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 5: endurability and his longevity right now that he's just not

612
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 5: the same guy.

613
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: And that's a concern.

614
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 5: So put him in a bullpen, let him to throw

615
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 5: two or three innings, piggyback with whomever. Somebody blows up,

616
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 5: Nola blows up, has a blow up inning, you got

617
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 5: to throw him in there. Just stop the flow. If

618
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 5: Sanchez has a blow up inning, throw him in there,

619
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 5: stop the flow, whatever the case may be, and him

620
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 5: do his thing.

621
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: He wouldn't be in my top three, you know, going

622
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: into the postseason. If you need him. It wouldn't surprise

623
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: me if he got to start in the postseason, if

624
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 3: you pitched, well, he's kind of wacky, you know. Sometimes

625
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 3: you know it could come out of nowhere. But what

626
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: we're seeing right now is a concern. It's kind of

627
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: a mystery. They say is healthy. We've talked about it before.

628
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: It doesn't look to be in great shape. And this

629
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: this uh, you know, the injury slash ineffectiveness slash slump

630
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: he's been in the second half is I mean, I

631
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 3: guess you know, it's almost you could say, life changing

632
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: for him, because if he had extended that first two

633
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: and a half three good months throughout the full season,

634
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 3: you know, they're probably looking at trying to lock him

635
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: up this offseason. And now I think they're gonna have

636
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: They're gonna take a wait and see approach there.

637
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 4: So now they keep that money for Soto. I mean, I.

638
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 5: Totally agree with you, and I I love the guy

639
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 5: because I love when he's on the mount and I

640
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 5: love his demeanor and I love the fact that he

641
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: is who he is when he pitches.

642
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 4: But I don't see the same guy right now.

643
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna splice up Ruben basically saying the Phi lads

644
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: are getting once.

645
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: So put that out there. It's like, oh my god.

646
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: And then when the Yankees have that press conference, we're

647
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: gonna play them over and over.

648
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: So jim wanted me to ask this question. I was

649
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: not gonna ask it myself. How Katz wants to know

650
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: what other voices can I do? He says, my Christopher

651
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: walking in British accent are pretty good.

652
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy No, I don't like doing accents on the spot.

653
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Do you have any that you want me to do?

654
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what he's got.

655
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 4: He's got, He's got the whole plethora of them.
