Ruben mar Junior, Jim Salisbury Todds 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: a lucky It is the Philly Show. It's Monday, June 8 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: twenty second, twenty twenty six. We have so much to 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: talk about, so let's go. It's time for first pitch. 10 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: First Pitch is powered by Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. Jim, 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: you were there this weekend. How much fun was that 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: to watch. 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: Weekend at Schwarbies Weekend? It was. We've had these feelings 14 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: many many times since Citizens Bank Park opened in seven 15 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: to eleven stretch and then recent years, those those nights 16 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: when everything is just electric and they're pounding the ball 17 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 3: all over their place and the fans are, you know, 18 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: just packed in that place and loving every minute, a 19 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: minute of it, and you know, the Mets come down. 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: We finally see him seventy five games into a season, 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 3: which is late on Friday night, and they beat the Phillies. 22 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: The Phillies bullpen lets it get away. But the next 23 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: two nights they like turned the forest up, the fawcett, 24 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: you know, the hose, and the offense just came gushing. 25 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: Schwarber absolutely fantastic, with three home runs on Saturday night, 26 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 3: another one on Sunday night. Oh, by the way, he's 27 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: up to twenty nine and on pace for sixty one. 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: And Bryce Harper very very interesting story. He had been slumping. 29 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 3: You know, you guys know he often just always takes 30 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: his batting practice inside in the cage where he has 31 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: a very specific routine. Well, he pops his head out 32 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: on Saturday and he hits outside because he just kind 33 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: of said he forgot what it felt like to hit 34 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: a home run. So he's out there launching balls into 35 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 3: the second deck, carries it over into the game where 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: he hits for a cycle. And then on Sunday night 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: single double home run, another home run he very interestingly switched. 38 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: He usually uses a thirty four inch bat that is 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: either thirty one and a half ounces or thirty two ounces, 40 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: depending on how he feels in the cage. In his routine, 41 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 3: he works out with a thirty five ounce bat, a 42 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: heavy bat. Well, he brought that into the game and 43 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: he used it two nights in a row, and he 44 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: did big damage with a big war club. He's a 45 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: big man. You can do that if you can still 46 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: generate bat speed. He's not gonna do it all the time, 47 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: but depending on how his body feels, he might mix 48 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: it in a little more long story show. We talk 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: all the time about your big boys. Have to be 50 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: your big boys, you big boys? Were you big boys 51 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: on Saturday and Sunday night? 52 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 53 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: Really nice to see them Shorb and Harper do the 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 4: damage that they did. Of course, the three home runs 55 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 4: from Shoreber as well. It begs the question, my friends, 56 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 4: why not hit more outside? 57 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: Imagine imagine that. 58 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 4: What is interesting about it is there is something mentally 59 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 4: that I think is important to see flight of ball, 60 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 4: to see the ball back spin. There's a whole bunch 61 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: of things that are associated with it. I didn't live 62 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 4: in this era. I didn't play in this era where 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: guys take batting practice outside maybe once or twice a 64 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: week at even I mean, and again, there's a lot 65 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: of guys Otani and so many different guys that don't 66 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 4: hit outside. 67 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: But I think there really is something to it. 68 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 4: Lighting your eyes, adjusting the ball coming off the bat, 69 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: seeing the result of what you're trying to do, not 70 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: just off of a net or in an iPad, and 71 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 4: I think that that's an important piece of it, and 72 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: being under the synthetic lights of a cage. 73 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: But it is what it is. I'm glad that they 74 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: busted out, and. 75 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 4: Let's see what happens from here on in, because they're 76 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 4: creeping up on the Atlanta. 77 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: Bravos and a six and a half out. They were 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: a month ago on May twenty two, they were ten 79 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: and a half out. Today is June twenty two, and 80 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 3: they're six and a half out. 81 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: They have the seventh best record in baseball right now. 82 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: I think they had the fifth best record in the 83 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: National League, behind the three division leaders of course, Atlanta, Milwaukee, LA, 84 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: and I think the Cardinals are like two hundredths of 85 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: a percentage point ahead of the Phillies, so essentially tied. 86 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: But yeah, after that nine to nineteen start, they now 87 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 2: have the best wreck Since then, they have the best 88 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: record in baseball. They're playing well. They're playing they have 89 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: a lot of flaws, but they're playing well. 90 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: Fan grafts, Yeah, a lot. 91 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: Of teams that flawed. Fran Grafts has them an eighty 92 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: one percent chance to make the playoffs, six point one 93 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: percent chance to win the World Series. 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Oh, it's going to creep up. It's going to creep 95 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: up too. 96 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 4: As long as they're starting pitching stays healthy, their top 97 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 4: three guy, four guys, As long as those four guys 98 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 4: stay healthy, that that number is going to creep a 99 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 4: little higher. And they're per percentage of making the playoffs. 100 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: I'm not going to say it's one hundred percent, but 101 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 4: because there's so many things that can happen as far 102 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 4: as health, right, but I got them at one hundred 103 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: percent if they stay healthy. 104 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't argue. I don't see it's it's difficult 105 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: to see a scenario where they all stay healthy, everybody 106 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 2: stays healthy on this roster, and they don't make the playoffs. 107 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 5: I mean, way too much mediocrity across the across the league, right, 108 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 5: And you know, like you said, Jim, the Phillies have 109 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 5: their flaws, but they do have some pretty good hitters, 110 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 5: and they do have some really good pitching. 111 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: They do have holes, but you watch, you watch a 112 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: weekend like this, and that's why there is that quote 113 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: from Bryce. Let me see if I can pull this 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: quote up. It says, just get usin. That's our motto. 115 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: Obviously our goal is to fight and claw back and 116 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: win the division. But we just want to see get 117 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: in the postseason and see what happens. And I mean, 118 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: that's that's it, right. I mean, you see a weekend 119 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: like this. Yes, it's against the Mets. That they're not 120 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: they're not a great team. They don't that they don't 121 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: have tons of great pitching, but you get in. If 122 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: Harper and Schwarber get hot in the series, they could 123 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: beat up. 124 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 4: On Can I just say something about the Mets being 125 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 4: that horrible and that expensive? 126 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: That horrible and that expensive. So yeah, it's something there. Yeah, 127 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: it's not a good team. 128 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 3: More same more rip away, Reuben, We know you love 129 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: to rip the Mets. 130 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 6: Well know, the reality the reality is, I mean Stern's 131 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 6: people talk about Stern just being the more on the planet, 132 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 6: but the reality of it is that they've not put 133 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 6: it get together a very good roster. 134 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: They just haven't. And that's that's the truth. 135 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: Uh and and and you know the New Yorkers would 136 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 4: expect it a lot more from this team. Obviously they've 137 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 4: had some health issues, Lindor being out as big. But still, 138 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: I mean, they spent a lot of money on this 139 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: roster and changed it up and changed all the staff 140 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: members and blew everything up except to the manager. 141 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: And this is what you got reality. 142 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny. In the off season, the 143 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: Mets won the off season, I guess over the Phillies, right, 144 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: because they got Boba Schett. They shook things up. They 145 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: got Freddie Paralta. Phillies stood pat. 146 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: And Philly's hung ten on Peralta. 147 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: What's that they Parolta? 148 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, exactly. I'm gonna I based this off a 149 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: nothing because obviously Freddy Peralta was a great has been 150 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: a great pitcher over the years. But the reaction when 151 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: the Mets got Freddy Parolta this offseason, like, oh my gosh, 152 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: they've got their Zach Wheeler. Chris, I didn't get it. 153 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: I just didn't get it. I mean, he's very good. 154 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: A lot of teams would love to have him, but 155 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: for me, it just didn't make didn't fit. 156 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: You know. 157 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: It wasn't like, like I said, this is not Garrett Cole, 158 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: this is not Zach Wheelers. Is not Christopher Sanchez. 159 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: No, no, it's not. He's had success and he's bounced back. 160 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: I agree with you, Todd. 161 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 4: He's a good pitcher, really good pitcher, but he's not 162 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 4: an elite one. And uh and you never know how 163 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 4: guys are going to react pitching in New. 164 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: York Milwaukee, in New York, it's different. 165 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 4: And guess what with that kind of with that kind 166 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 4: of expectation man. 167 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: Stepping forward? 168 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: That was first we talked about how I'm sorry. 169 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: Oh, Jim, go Jim, I'm sorry, no, go. 170 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 3: All right.

A lot of and a lot 203 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 3: of little around the Edges contributors Bryson Stott made two 204 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: brilliant defense yes, one Saturday one Sunday, both early in 205 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 3: the game, Both saved druns. Both were like difference making 206 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: momentum changes where if the Mets got those early runs, yeah, 207 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 3: you never know, it might have a game, might have 208 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 3: a different feel. So hats off to Bryce and Stott 209 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: as well. 210 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 4: Great call, Jim, and little means a lot. We've talked 211 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 4: about this, We've talked to this with Charlie manually. He 212 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 4: says that a lot. That's not a little play. Those 213 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 4: are big plays and they changed the entire momentum of 214 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 4: the game in so many different ways. Huge for the 215 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 4: starting pitchers, Huge for the offense because now they can 216 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: work clear and easy and not. 217 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Have to press. A lot of stuff goes on with 218 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: those defensive plays. 219 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 4: That's why we talk about how important defense and the 220 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 4: little things are to win a baseball game. 221 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: That's the essence of baseball. 222 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: Little things mattered. Bryce Harper tenth Philly to hit for 223 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: the cycle in franchise history is eleventh time it's happened. 224 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: Our good old friend Chuck Klein did it twice in 225 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: the nineteen thirties, those were cheap e though off that 226 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: Baker Bowl fence and right field Todd. 227 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 3: Todd hates the old players. 228 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: No, I just like to laugh at how like the 229 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: Baker Bowl. You know, it's like the fence was like 230 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: seventy five feet high in right field, like two hundred 231 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: and twenty feet away from home plate. 232 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 3: But nevertheless, he used to he used to crush that 233 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: eighty two mile an hour heater. 234 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: That's right, he's the Bryce Harper is the seventh player 235 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 2: since nineteen sixty one to complete the cycle by the 236 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: fifth inning. That's pretty cool. I mean, that's that was 237 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: pretty fun. 238 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: Jim. 239 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 2: Were you like it happened so fast? 240 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: Dude? 241 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: Did it happened very fast? Because I mean it hits 242 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: came in the third inning and then night he's in 243 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 3: the same situation like later in the game. He's just 244 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 3: a triple away right, and you knew he wanted it 245 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: so bad because he makes a very daring, borderline reckless 246 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 3: base running play to get the third base. They're lucky 247 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: somebody didn't yell cut three. He's dead right, but he 248 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 3: got it. And they say he said they were encouraging 249 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: him to go for it in the dugout because they 250 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,359 Speaker 3: had a big lead, you could kind of be aggressive. 251 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 3: And somebody asked him about his base running after the game. 252 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 3: He said, I'm never going to change. That's the way 253 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: I run the basis. So you can say those things 254 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: when you're winning ball games and it works, But when 255 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 3: you get nailed, you know, that's when it's it's the 256 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 3: aggression gets you. 257 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: And he tends to run pretty aggressively, and you know, 258 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: and it almost we joke a little bit about the 259 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: invisible cloak at times, but there are times when you 260 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: can do it in times when you don't, and you 261 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: just hope that when he does it and is aggressive, 262 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: it doesn't cost the team a game because of its 263 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: a certain. 264 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: Situation, like I think he got thrown out at third 265 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 4: base the day on a steal. 266 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: In a situation where's a strikeout steal, I. 267 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: Strike him out, throw him out and he's already in 268 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 4: scoring position. You sort of have to make it if 269 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 4: you're going to give yourself a chance, especially if you're 270 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 4: not like a prolific base stealer. So there's there's times 271 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 4: to be aggressive and there's times to not. And I 272 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: know he likes to step up in the big moment. 273 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 4: All three of these games were national games. That All 274 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: Star Game is a coming. He wants to make his 275 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: mark because he wants to be in that. 276 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: All Star Game. 277 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 4: He does and if you look at the numbers now 278 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 4: think it was our good friend Corey Simon said something 279 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 4: about his OPS being, you know, number one in all 280 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 4: first baseman in the National League. I think at this 281 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: stage of the game. But Todd you might know more 282 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 4: about that. 283 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: Well, I was just looking at it briefly last night. 284 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: I don't know where Matt Olsen is, Freddy Famin is, 285 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: but I do know that he was top twenty midway 286 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: through the game last night, So you know, I'm sure 287 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: he's I would expect that he's. He's number one in 288 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: OPS amongst first l first basement, and he's been one 289 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 2: of the best hitters in Major League Baseball. If again 290 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: by OPS top twenty for sure, what's to Warber's fifth. 291 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 3: So when we talk about his base running, when he's 292 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: super aggressive on the daring, you can argue whether it's 293 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: wise or not on individual situations, but when he's playing 294 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: baseball that way, super aggressive, he's feeling good about himself. 295 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 3: And when he's feeling good about himself, he's playing well, 296 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 3: it kind of you know, they both feed off each other, 297 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 3: and that ultimately is a good thing. When he's playing well, 298 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 3: when he's feeling about him, feeling good about himself, he's aggressive. 299 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: The whole package is playing well, and he's playing with 300 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: that aggressiveness because he feels good. I would draw a 301 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 3: line toward Andrew Painter, who's just not getting down the 302 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 3: mound and letting that ball go because he is not 303 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 3: confident Harper, when he is running like a madman, he's confident. 304 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: So a confident player is a dangerous player. 305 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: And you know what, this might be a different take 306 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: on that quote because I know his quote about it. 307 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: I'm not changing, I'm going to run balls of the wall. 308 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: I almost feel that was example of him just feeling 309 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: good about himself, a little bit of defiance kind of. 310 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if deep down inside he's like, 311 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to run. I don't care if I keep 312 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: running it outs. I don't think he believes that. I 313 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: think that was a moment of like, you know, I'm 314 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: Bryce Harper, I'm feeling good. 315 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: I got there. 316 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: Kiss off if he didn't like it that like that, 317 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: That was my feeling on that quote. More than anything. 318 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: But that was. 319 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: But then Schwarbert, I mean, Schwarber's on pace, Jim, like 320 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: you said, he's on pace to hit sixty one home 321 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: runs this season. So much, I mean, the swing is 322 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: so much fun to why everybody like I just love 323 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: watching him swing the bad again just so short and quick, 324 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 2: you know, and he's so. 325 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, when it was going to happen in June, you know, 326 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 4: at some point he was going to start crushing some 327 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 4: home runs. 328 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 1: It was it is hitting season. 329 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 4: He had gone through some some slumpage where he's swinging 330 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 4: missed a lot of swinging miss in his game. 331 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: But he's got it rolling right now. 332 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 4: And uh, for him to be close to thirty home 333 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 4: runs now at this stage right now, it's pretty impressive. 334 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: Can get any how. 335 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 3: They know, they all know that June is this month. 336 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: You know, June is like the month of brides, in 337 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 3: the month of kyleege for even h Zach Wheelers.

This episode of The Philly Show 345 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 2: is powered by Monster Energy. Unleash the Beast. It's baseball 346 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: season in Philly, and the energy is electric. It certainly 347 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: was this weekend. Stop by your local retailer to pick 348 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: up a Monster Energy drink. 349 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: Today. 350 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: I had one. I had one yesterday. I was thank 351 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 2: you guys again for hosting the show in my absence. 352 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: It was a great show. I got back from our trip, 353 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: I was dragging, had a Monster Energy. I was like, 354 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: I gotta have. I gotta have low pick me up 355 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 2: to get me through the rest of the day. Flew 356 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 2: home with the kids, wife and kids and had one 357 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: and I was it was smooth sailing the rest of 358 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 2: the night. So one other thing I wanted to mention, 359 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: because this was the first time that the Phillies did 360 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 2: face the Mets all season long, was just the Yeah. 361 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: I couldn't help but think about every time I saw 362 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: Bobachhet come to the plate. Alec Boom's had I mean, 363 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 2: very similar seasons for all the you know, the excitement 364 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: and the frustration and the hype of Bobaschett and all 365 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: of that stuff. You know, they're almost identical numbers this season, 366 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: and but Alec Bohm has been hitting the ball very 367 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: well since May ninth. He's been you know, betting two 368 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: ninety seven eight fifty five ops since May ninth. You know, 369 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: I just wanted to that just kept every time I 370 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 2: saw Bogue stept to the plate, and I'm like, isn't 371 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: it crazy that he's struggling. 372 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: Well. 373 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 4: I think one of the most important parts, I think 374 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: one of the most important parts of that whole scenario 375 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 4: is that once Bobashet was no longer a Philly and 376 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 4: now and then a met it gotten to the point 377 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 4: where it was really hell bent that Alec Bohm played 378 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 4: really well, and he went through some really tough times 379 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 4: in the early part of the season personally and on 380 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 4: the field, and and so it exacerbated everybody's feeling about 381 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 4: the fact that the Phillies were, you know, running it 382 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 4: back with their lineup, which they were in a lot 383 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 4: of ways other than their center fielder. 384 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I couldn't blame the fans, but the. 385 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 4: Reality of it is, as as the season goes on, 386 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 4: as you have to have to have your guys who 387 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 4: are there perform and right now they are. 388 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: You just you just never know what's going to happen 389 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: over the course of the season. You know, it kind 390 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 2: of gets me thinking of and your painter, and you know, 391 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: you can't these declarative sentences about can a guy come 392 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 2: back or not? You know, you know he can come back, 393 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 2: you know, just like Alec Boom can come back, just 394 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: like can come back. So, looks like Jimmy has frozen 395 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: up on us. 396 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: Yes, he looks locked in. He looks very locked Look 397 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: at him. He's he is, he is locked in. He's 398 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: got it, He's got his game face on right there. 399 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 2: We might have lost. 400 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: We might have lost. Jim lost Jim. I was stumbling. 401 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, is Jim there just staring at me? 402 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: Screeping me out? 403 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: We lost Jim. So Ruben, let's let's go over the 404 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: wild while Jim is frozen. Let's let's finish the show 405 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: up four game series, uh this week in Washington. All 406 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: these games are at six forty five pm Eastern Monday. 407 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 2: I guess it's gonna be alan roun hell, probably right. 408 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: I mean, the Phillies d fade Bryce Wilson after after 409 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: the game, So I imagine it's gonna be Alan run hell uh. Nevertheless, Seed, 410 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 2: they're facing lefty Foster Griffin. Tuesday, it's Jesus Sozardo against 411 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: Zach Lttel.

Aaron 417 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 2: Nole against Miles Michaelis six forty five. Thursday's Christopher Sanchez 418 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 2: versus k Cavali. A big, big series. The Nationals have 419 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 2: some good offensive weapons, James Woods, c J. Abrams has 420 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: had a good year. They've been They've been kind of 421 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: a fun team to watch offensively speaking. 422 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: But it's a series that. 423 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 2: The Phillies should you know, you got to go in 424 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: there and at least split that series in Washington, don't 425 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: you think? 426 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely? They are My runs the game. The highest scoring 427 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: team in the Majors, so the two games over five hundred. 428 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: Scrappy team. The division is tough. Four teams over five hundred, 429 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 3: so in the Phillies. You know, the last three have 430 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 3: been in the last six have been in the division, 431 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,239 Speaker 3: and now they're next seven in the division. So but 432 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 3: they've like I mentioned earlier, they were ten and a 433 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 3: half back a month ago. Now they're six and a 434 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: half back. That's slow and steady. Pick off a game 435 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 3: a week, pick off a game every nine days, eight 436 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 3: and nine, and you never know what this thing is 437 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 3: gonna look like at the end. This is a season 438 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: like no other. It's a long like that book Jim 439 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: Brosnan wrote a million years ago, great book, The Long Season. 440 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 3: It's a long season. You will mentioned how Alec Bohm 441 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: started off allfull everybody writing them off. Baseball is a 442 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 3: game that has to be viewed through a long range, 443 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 3: patient viewfinder, especially with guys with track records, so you 444 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: don't know where this team is going to end up. 445 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 3: I've went out the division at this point because this 446 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 3: how many games left? 447 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: Eighty some odd Yeah, they think like seventy seven. 448 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to reach the half mathematical halfway point 449 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 3: of the season on Thursday, so you've got a half 450 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 3: season left. It can be interesting. You've got to get 451 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 3: in the wildcard because once you get in, anything can happen, 452 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 3: and the twenty two Phillies are proof of that. They 453 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: get in as the last team in the National League. 454 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 3: They you know, they limbo under the bar just to 455 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 3: get in, barely get in. Next thing, you know, they're 456 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 3: in the World Series. So a lot can happen if 457 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: you get in. 458 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that this is a really important series 459 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 4: for these guys for a lot of reasons. One, Washington's 460 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 4: feeling pretty good about how as a young player, young team, 461 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 4: they have to play clean baseball and they have to 462 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 4: figure out a ways to stop these guys from getting runs. 463 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 4: They have a trouble stopping runs because their pitching is 464 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 4: not great and they're swinging the bats well. 465 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: So that's a good sign. 466 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 4: But it's really about stop and run prevention as people 467 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 4: talk about now run prevention. They got to catch the 468 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 4: baseball and they have to play solidly on the defensive 469 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 4: end in a ballpark that's pretty large, especially in the outfield, 470 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 4: and we'll see how they handle that. 471 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: So I want to give a shout out. You know, 472 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: we we always run into the people that watch and 473 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: listen to the show, and so like I said, as 474 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: everybody knows if it was listening last week Jim and Rubin, 475 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: We're hosting the show.
