First pitch is brought to us 15 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: exclusively by our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. 16 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: Red October. You got to play the whole season, guys. 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't get around it. But let's be honest, 18 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: we were all waiting for Red October to come around, 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs to come around. You had to get through 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: the ye I got to play the one hundred sixty 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: do game schedule. 22 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 3: I was going to say, we've been waiting for this 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: since day one of spring training, but we've actually been 24 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: waiting for it since they were eliminated last fall in 25 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 3: the playoffs by the Mets at City Field. The page 26 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: turned that day. You knew they were going to have 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: this returning core, and you knew they were going to 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: have enough talent, and you knew they were going to 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: have to get back here, and you knew that October 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: was going to define this team where they are on 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: their winning curve and with this nucleus, and with their payrolls, 32 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 3: where this franchise is. Everything is defined by the month 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: of October. So yes, we are where we've been waiting 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: to get all year. I do commend the team, though 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: I think they've had October in their sights all along. 36 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: But they did a really good job on focusing on 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 3: the day to day. You win thirty five series, fifty 38 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: five games at home, ninety six overall, you've done a 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 3: good job focusing on the task at hand, especially the 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 3: last two months since the trade deadline. They had a 41 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: phenomenal record, and they used that sweep up at City 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: Field as a springboard right to the end. 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: Showed a lot of character and this final. 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: Weekend they won a series they should have won a 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 3: serious Minnesota Twins waved the white flag a long time ago. 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 3: Let's not forget they jettisoned twelve players at the trade deadline, 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: So that trade that that's nothing really, you know, it's 48 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: kind of like a four to a team over there. 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 3: That said, the last game of the season, when you 50 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: when you're the number two seed in the playoffs with 51 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 3: division champ, sometimes you can. 52 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 4: Coast a little bit and they come back with a 53 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: run in the tent. 54 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 3: The run in the eighth and a run in the 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 3: tent showed a lot of fight to win that final 56 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: game on fan appreciation and I know the fans appreciated it. 57 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: Good walk off win. 58 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: Oriyan Kirkering, very encouraging inning performance. Christopher Sinch has another 59 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: great one. So a good way to wrap it up. 60 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: Now. 61 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 4: I just can't wait for the rest the for the 62 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 4: real reason we're here. 63 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I got to echo some of Jim's sentiments as 64 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 5: far as commending the team. There was a lot of 65 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 5: talk last year about how they finished the season. Jim 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 5: kept pointing out rightly that they basically were a five 67 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 5: hundred team from about May end of May on basically, 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 5: and they didn't really improve this year a little different. 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 5: They had a you know, a decent start to the 70 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 5: season based on. 71 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: How well they pitched, because they're. 72 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 5: Starting pitching kept them kept them afloat for quite some 73 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 5: time and pretty much all season long. But they really 74 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 5: came on strong, especially the back part of the lineup, 75 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 5: really pushed forward at the end, and then after the 76 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 5: deadline they played like gangbusters. Right when you want to 77 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 5: play well at the end of the at the end 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 5: of the season, and listen, when a team has an 79 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: expectation to do X and they get it done. It 80 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 5: is virtually the polar opposite from what happened with the Mets. 81 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 5: The Mets and we'll talk about this later, basically crapped 82 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 5: themselves and they did not They did not do what 83 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 5: the Phillies did, which was played played well, played better 84 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 5: at the end of the year, and played better than 85 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 5: the expectation. And so that's pretty commendable on a number 86 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 5: of people's parts. Dave Dombrowski, the leadership, John Middleton, allowing 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 5: them to do what they needed to do, and then 88 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 5: Topper sort of leading them through the difficulties of one 89 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 5: hundred and sixty two game schedule. 90 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: So hats off to them. 91 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: Sunday's game was like what you kind of imagine what 92 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: a regular season the finale should be for a team 93 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: like the Phillies who are trying to go out and 94 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: win a World series. You have perfect weather. I thought 95 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: it was sunny. It was gorgeous. Not quite fall weather, 96 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: but it was. It was starting to cool down a 97 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: little bit before the game. Kyle Schwarber goes out there, 98 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: walks out there. Who else are you gonna have talked 99 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: to the talk to the fans on Fan Appreciation D 100 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: the final regular season game than Kyle Schwarbur. He grabs 101 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: the microphone. He knows his audience. He asks that the 102 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: if the Birds, that the Birds are winning or not. 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: He knew the Birds were winning. They all had the 104 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: game on in the clubous It's no doubt about it. 105 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: So he knows his audience. 106 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: He asked that the Birds were winning, and then you know, 107 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: a little a couple of words from his speech. It 108 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: wasn't very long, but he said, you know, we're going 109 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: back to Red October again. Now we feed off all 110 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: you guys here. You know that the bank's a hard 111 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: place to play, so we come here, we start this 112 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: thing off. We need to hear all you guys buying 113 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: a us everything against the other team. And we're gonna 114 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: ride with you guys, all right. We put in the 115 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: work every day. We've got a dream, he said, that's 116 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: to hold up a trophy and it starts here with 117 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: you guys and all of us and all of us here. 118 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: So thank you again for all your support throughout the year. 119 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: And let's see where this takes us, all right. So 120 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you gotta resign the guy just 121 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: for that, you know. Christopher Sanchez goes out five and 122 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: two third scoreless innings. Rob Thompson said before the game, 123 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: is like, probably I'm probably gonna take him out mid game, 124 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: and then Rob Thompson goes out. They have a nice 125 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: long chat and then Rob says afterwards, he says, you know, 126 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: everybody here thinks I'm a moron for pulling you out 127 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: of the game, right, but you know, we need you 128 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: really sharp for Game one on Saturday, So we're gonna 129 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: do that. Garrett Stubbs, his first AF bat of the season, 130 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: gets a huge standing ovation. I mean that just shows 131 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: how much the fans appreciate him and just kind of 132 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: what he brings to the clubhouse. You know, Trey Turner 133 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: returns the lineup. That's big, big news for the Phillies. 134 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: He goes over two, he kind of gets his feet 135 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: wet a little bit, wins a batting title. Ryan kirkran Jim, 136 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: like you said, has has a big, big tend three strikeouts. 137 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: He's been struggling, no doubt. Max Kepler, he's been struggling 138 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. He hits the game tying 139 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: home run on the eighth and then Nick cast against 140 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: the left. 141 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: Big big. 142 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: You know, has the game walk off sack fly he's got. 143 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: That's his fifth walk off played appearance in the last 144 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: two years. So you get some big contributions. They win 145 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: a game. You know, a lot of a lot of 146 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: good things happened on Sunday, and and now it's now 147 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: like now it's time for the postseasons. 148 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 5: I want to say something about the Caos. Listen, there's 149 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 5: the pitch well off the plate. He's so many times 150 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 5: his sole goal was to put the ball in play 151 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 5: and for him to bear down on a pitch that 152 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 5: was well off the plate. He typically would swing and 153 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 5: miss at and he just put the bat on the baseball. 154 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 5: And I hope that that is a precursor for what 155 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 5: happens during the course. 156 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 6: Of the playoffs in the postseason, because sometimes and most 157 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 6: of the time, that's all you need. 158 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: Is to just touch it. 159 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: And I hope that they have that mentality rather than 160 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 5: feeling like they have to homer it. 161 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: They don't. Sometimes they just need to touch it. 162 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 3: I kind of hope they don't swing it pitches the 163 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: foot off the plate. But I understand what you're saying 164 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 3: in so many words. 165 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's just battling for you know, with two strikes. 166 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 4: I mean, listen, it was battling that result. 167 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: It was a good hand eye, I mean, you know, 168 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: it was breaking ball, and he realizes it's off the plate. 169 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: He's committed to the swing as he often is on 170 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 3: those pitches, and he got the barrel on it. The 171 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: outfield was in, so that guy was flat foot. He 172 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: could make a play at the play, but hey, put 173 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: the ball and play good. Put the ball and play 174 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 3: good things happen. So I'm in agreement with you there. 175 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: I just would like to see a little tweak swing 176 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 3: at strikes because I'll be honest, probably my one of 177 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: my two biggest fears I guess going in is expanding 178 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: and high strikeout games and chasing and whatnot. 179 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 5: But when they get to two oh, I want them 180 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 5: to swing at strikes. When they get to one oh, 181 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 5: I want them to swing at strikes when they're three 182 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 5: to one counts and they're spinning them, which they will 183 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 5: do because they have a propensity to swing and make 184 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 5: a decision before they swing. If they can just have 185 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 5: the mentality that Charlie Mannu used to say, you earn 186 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 5: the right when you're two oh and you're three to 187 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 5: one to swing in a pitch that is your pitch 188 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 5: and not their. 189 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: Hopefully, speaking speaking of pitches, that was first pitch.

And this week there's a lot of things, 223 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: a lot of guys we could choose from a lot 224 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: of moments, a lot of players who wants to get 225 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: us started. Manco, Manco, Jimmy so. 226 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: My Manco and Manco Best of the Week. 227 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Christopher Sanchez, the guy who was 228 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 3: on the mound Sunday. 229 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 4: Five and five and two thirds shutout. 230 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: So his last two starts at Citizens Bank Park a 231 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: twelve and two thirds shutout. Over the final month he 232 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: had like a one point sixty five VR. He really 233 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 3: stepped up. It's really stepped up for two plus seasons now, 234 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: really stepped up. When Zach Wheeler went down to me, 235 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 3: I said this a few weeks ago, he's kind of 236 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: knocking on the door of a dumb knocking on the 237 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: door of being a number one starter. He's right on 238 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: the threshold and I think he can take it there 239 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 3: in the postseason. Wheeler loss is a big one because 240 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 3: he's the guy you're gonna hand the ball to in 241 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: the game one of a postseason series. But you got 242 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: to feel good about Christopher Sanchez taking the ball game 243 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: one on Saturday. Last thirty two starts at Citizens Bank Park, 244 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: he's been dominant. He's got like a two point four 245 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: ERA in his last thirty two starts. He loves pitching 246 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: at home. He had, like I said, a great September. 247 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: He had a great finish to this season. Power location, 248 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: great change up, change of speed, poise, maturity, He's been 249 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 3: the whole package. So he's gonna you know, this team 250 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 3: got a batting champ and RBI CHAMPI home run champion. 251 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: He's gonna have number two finisher in the Cy Young 252 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: Race in Christopher Sanchez. So remarkable season, remarkable growth as 253 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: a pitcher over the last two plus seasons, and looking 254 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 3: forward to seeing him get the ball again at home 255 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: where he pitches so well against either the Dodgers or 256 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: the Reds. But in the meantime, you know, grab a 257 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: big slice of that pie. And enjoy it because we 258 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: enjoyed watching you good stuff. 259 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: Jim. 260 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with my man, ed Mundo Mundito Sosa. 261 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, I have a lot of love 262 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 5: for this guy. We've talked about him a lot, and 263 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 5: you know, I sort of I don't know. 264 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: I get his comp for me was his Chuoche for 265 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: so many different reasons. 266 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 5: And we've talked about this obviously, But for him to 267 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 5: come back and have the kind of week that he 268 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 5: had after being out for a little while, little groin issue, 269 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 5: they settled it down. He comes back, hits the three 270 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 5: bombs in the one game, has a couple of hits 271 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 5: in another game, plays a very good shortstop. The question 272 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 5: that everyone's going to have is who's going to play 273 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 5: second base when they're left. 274 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: Handers pitching on the mound. 275 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 5: Now, it's a great problem to have because Stott's been 276 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 5: swinging about well against right he's and lefties. He's phenomenal defensively, 277 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 5: He's like a general out there and in the field. 278 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: I have a feeling. 279 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 5: That ed Mundo Sosa might be coming in as a 280 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 5: hittering certain spots and that. 281 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: And that Stot will probably play against the left hander. 282 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: But he might not, and he might want. Sosa is 283 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: bad in there. 284 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 5: Just in case he put you know, has a chance 285 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 5: to pop one in the games, because he's also very 286 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 5: good defender as well. So anyway, at Mundo phenomenal season, 287 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 5: great teammate, great person, sort. 288 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: Of a not so unsung hero. 289 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 5: He gets a gigantic slice of that Manco and Manco's pie. 290 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: What a week for at Mundo. Good pick on all 291 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: of his teammates. As we talked about, we're we're fired 292 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: up with They love seeing at Mundo Sosa hit three 293 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: home runs a game, something no other Philly shortstop has 294 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: ever done any game before Todd. 295 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 3: That will make Todd. That's gonna make one of our 296 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 3: listeners very happy that selection. 297 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: Oh that's right. 298 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 299 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: Chris Chris Corey coming all the way from Australia. We 300 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: got a note from him the on X and uh 301 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: so I was gonna try to break up my Australian accent. 302 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: But now I've been I've been doing my uh breaking up. 303 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: Let me hear it, let me here, give it the 304 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: guy a little love and come on mane Sydney, Australia. 305 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: Chris Coleray, it's not I haven't done the Australian accent 306 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: in a while, so I'm a little rusty, but we 307 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: appreciate all of our listeners, all of our viewers, especially 308 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: those from down onto my right. I could get real 309 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: hacking and say, put another shrimp on the barbie, but 310 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: I feel like if you're in Australia, probably if I 311 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: hear that one more time, I'm going to kill somebody. 312 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: My manco, Manco, I'm gonna go too for And it's 313 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: just because we talked at the top of the show 314 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: that you know, you got to play this whole season, 315 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: but really it's all about October. But it does say 316 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: something that's the seasons that Kyle Schwarber had. He finished 317 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: the season leading the National League with fifty six home runs. 318 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: I believe he led Major League Baseball with one hundred 319 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: and thirty two rvis. So slice of the pie to 320 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber for just the overall season that he had. 321 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: And I also want to give a shout out to 322 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: Trey Turner, who came back the final game of the 323 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: season to win the Phillies first batting title since Richie 324 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: Ashburn in nineteen fifty eight. Trey finishes the season batting 325 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: three h four, And you know, I did like his 326 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: answer this question that was I think it was. It 327 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: was Dan Gelston from AP goes, why do you think 328 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: do you have any thoughts on why it's been so 329 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: hard to hit three hundred? And you know we talk 330 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: about this a lot, but I want to read you 331 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: this quote because I did think it was great. He goes, Yeah, 332 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: everyone throws one hundred, everyone has six pitches, nobody knows 333 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: where the ball is. There's a lot of reasons. Defenses 334 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: are way better than they've ever been. You know, if 335 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: you're a defender down, you don't make plays, you get exposed. 336 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: So to me, it makes a lot of sense. You 337 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: can have an average pitcher throwing ninety five and have 338 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: six pitches, and you've got to go up there and 339 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: be ready for all of them. I know why, but 340 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Nobody else knows why, or nobody 341 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: else does. So I thought that was kind of a 342 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: good answer from Trey Turner. 343 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 5: Well, I agree with him on the pitching stuff, because yes, 344 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 5: everybody's throwing one hundred and no one knows where it's 345 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 5: going right. 346 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 4: Swings are big, too. 347 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 5: Correctively wild, but process I'm making contact has been diminished 348 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 5: and the batting average. 349 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a little bit. 350 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 5: It sort of strikes to the overall play of baseball. 351 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 5: Now like for us, for basically the National League, they 352 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 5: have one guy who hit three hundred for the season. 353 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 5: Is a little embarrassing to the game. It also means 354 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 5: that the pitching's tougher. But what he said, what he 355 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 5: said about the defense, I think they're positioning better. 356 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 2: I don't think that they play better defense. 357 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 5: They're athletic, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're playing better 358 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 5: defense because a lot of those questionable base hit air calls, 359 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 5: they're giving them a lot more hits than they still 360 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 5: have and they still and I mean, and I think 361 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 5: that was you know, mandated from somewhere else. 362 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: But you know, the pitching is there's no question the 363 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: pitching is is better. As far as the overall stuff, 364 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 2: there's no question about it. 365 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 5: The balls break harder, they spin harder, they're throwing harder. 366 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 5: All those things are more difficult. I don't necessarily feel 367 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 5: like they're better pitchers, but they're more powerful. Their stuff 368 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 5: is more powerful and more deadly. 369 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 3: And we've talked about this over the over the course 370 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 3: of the year, that hitting has become tougher because I 371 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 3: think it's a combination of the obsession with power on 372 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: the mound and the obsession with power at the plate. 373 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 3: The swings get bigger, less emphasis on contact. Something's gotta give, 374 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 3: and that's why you get a batting champ at three 375 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 3: h four. Not to take anything away from Trade Turner, 376 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: I mean hats off to him the adjustments he made. 377 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 4: You know, he has done everything they asked. 378 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 3: When they said, you know, you need to change your 379 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 3: game a little bit here when they talk him about 380 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 3: that in spring training. More contact, more selectivity, think like 381 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: a leadoff man, get on base, use the whole field, 382 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: used your wheels, done that, done that. Probably deserves to 383 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 3: finish in the top ten of the MVP voting. Also 384 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 3: improved exceptionally on defense the great season. But it is 385 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 3: kind of fascinating that that low of an average can 386 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: bring home a batting title. 387 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: Well, I will say this. I know I don't know 388 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: what other teams are gonna do, but I think a 389 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: lot of other teams could point to Trey Turner next season. 390 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: Go that guy made a conscious choice this season to 391 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: kind of sacrifice some power for average, and he hit 392 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: three hundred for the first time. Since twenty twenty two 393 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: or whatever it was twenty twenty one, you know, so 394 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: it can be done. So maybe that message will get through. Hey, 395 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: Trey Turner won a batting title last year because he 396 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: just decided to, you know, sacrifice. I mean one NL 397 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: east and so hey, so and so on the Reds. 398 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: You know, you you hit two sixty this year, we 399 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: think you can hit two eighty. You can do it. 400 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: You just have to really focus on it and want 401 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: to do it. It can be done. Kyle Schwarber hit 402 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: one ninety eight a few years ago, was embarrassed by it, 403 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: and now he's you know, he's hitting the league average 404 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: batting average, and he's you know long top five top yeah, 405 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: top five MVP type of candidates. So you know, it 406 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: can be done. So I think there's there's something to 407 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: be learned from Trey Turner's season. I do think it's 408 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: harder to hit now for sure than it has because 409 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: of the power and the types of pitches and the 410 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: amount of different pitches. But yeah, something definitely definitely to 411 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: be learned. There Uh, lot locking, so a lot going 412 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: on this week for the Phillies. They're off on Monday, 413 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: have a workout, Tuesday. They are gonna have a scrimmage 414 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: at six pm on Wednesday, and they've already sold more 415 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: than twenty thousand tickets.

You know, it'd be 420 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: like who do you cheer for?

Or whatever it might be. I 426 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: don't know what it's going to be, but that should 427 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. 428 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I'm sorry. 429 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 3: It's a great idea because you need to keep the 430 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 3: intensity up during the week, and this is the way 431 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: to pump a little bit of an intensity in there 432 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: during the bye week. 433 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 4: Great idea. 434 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, last last last year they had basically, you know, 435 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: they had all the walk up songs and all of this, 436 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: and they had a little something on the line for 437 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: winning team versus losing team. They still have that. They're 438 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: still gonna have that.

They had to walk off loss 481 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: in Toronto.

Oh terrible? 488 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: Five games behind the Mets in the National League East, 489 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: and then what happened? The Phillies go fifty seven and 490 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: thirty seven the rest of the way for the second 491 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: best record in baseball, the Mets forty and fifty four 492 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: for the third worst worst record in the National League 493 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: epic collapse one of the all time collapses. According to 494 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: the Elias Sports Bureau, only two teams in Major League 495 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: Baseball history, the nineteen oh five Indians and the nineteen 496 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: seventy seven Cubs, finished with worst records after climbing at 497 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: least twenty one games over five hundred nineteen oh five 498 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: Indians seventy seven Cubs. Then you get the twenty twenty 499 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: five New York Mets. 500 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 4: What a uh shame? I mean, you know, they got 501 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 4: the highest payroll in the game. 502 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 3: They have this humongous, monstrous payroll, and they can't eke 503 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 3: out a win in Miami against that team on the 504 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 3: last day with Juan Soto and Alonso, all those players 505 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 3: that they have, you can't eke out one win to 506 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 3: at least save face and get in the postseason tournament. 507 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: And then maybe you go on a little bit of 508 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 3: a run and everybody forgets. It's just astounding that that 509 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 3: team is not in the postseason, especially after having the 510 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 3: best record in baseball in mid June. I I must 511 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 3: confess late last night I flipped on w F A 512 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 3: n because I just wanted to. I wanted to hear 513 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: what was going on up there, and oh my god, 514 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 3: the Mets fans are just killing them. 515 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 4: One of the radio guys that WFN. 516 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 3: Said, biggest embarrassment in Mets history, most embarrassing team in 517 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: Mets history, which says something about the Mets, because they 518 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: have had a series of teams that have just struggled 519 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 3: and fallen on their face, and you know, it's like 520 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: a comedy of errors up there. Over the years, They've 521 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 3: had some great teams, but they've had some some things 522 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 3: that just makes you shake your head. 523 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 4: So a lot of pain up there. 524 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: And you know the fans up there h in that area, 525 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 3: you know, they they gave the business to Rory McElroy 526 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 3: all weekend and then they quickly shifted right off the Mets. 527 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 4: So and the Mets deserve it a lot more. 528 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's really a culture thing. 529 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 5: And I think their manager has done actually, Cars Mendoz 530 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 5: has actually done a pretty darn good job. But the 531 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 5: bottom line is it is this when you don't have 532 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 5: the culture to win, when it doesn't start from the bottom. 533 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 5: And I was over there with the Mets and many 534 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 5: of the players, the core players that are there now 535 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 5: were some of the core players that were there then. 536 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 5: They did not grow up in a system where winning 537 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 5: really mattered. 538 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: And when you have your core players who exist. 539 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 5: On the team and they don't have the mentality of winning, 540 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 5: and that winning culture doesn't exist. 541 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: Then it makes it very very difficult. 542 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 5: Winning should be number one, and that's not what happens 543 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 5: with many of the core players there. And you can 544 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 5: have all the talent in the world, but if you 545 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 5: don't want to win, then and you don't and you 546 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 5: don't sacrifice yourself to win, whether whether it's your you know, 547 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 5: how you prepare, whether your mentality on the field, whatever 548 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 5: the case may be. 549 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: I just don't. 550 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 5: Believe that they have a winning culture there. And I 551 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 5: lived it and saw it myself with my own eyes, 552 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 5: and it may take some more time for them to 553 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 5: develop that at some point. And it's pretty clear that 554 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 5: they don't have that. 555 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: Like you said, Roomin's a shame. 556 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, unlessen I work for the Mets for two years, 557 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 5: and I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm pretty happy. 558 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 3: I wonder like like their GM David Stearns, he he 559 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 3: didn't want to write the big, big, big ticket for 560 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 3: starting pitching, and they're gonna they're gonna have to do something, 561 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: get a starter. They're gonna be to me, they're gonna 562 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 3: be right on Ranger of Suarez. 563 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 9: I was gonna say Skyboaris, but really, I think the 564 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 9: other thing is this, you know you also had? 565 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 4: This will tell you a lot. 566 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 5: I mean, not thirty seconds after the season is over, 567 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 5: Peter Lonzo's like, I'm. 568 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 3: Gone, great point, great point, save it for a save 569 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: it for a couple of weeks. 570 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: That'll that tells you a lot about like the whole mentality. 571 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: He was one of the core. 572 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 4: Players, just like Soda with the Yankees last year. 573 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm out, you're right, and and you could say, and 574 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, there's. 575 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 5: No allegiance to the organization because for whatever reason, I 576 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 5: don't know what the reason is. I knew it was 577 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 5: the ownership group prior that was part of it. I 578 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 5: know it's a totally new ownership group. But you know, 579 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 5: when you have those those same players who were sort 580 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 5: of the core players of the team, and they came 581 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 5: up in a system where winning was tertiary secondary, he 582 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 5: wasn't as nearly as important. 583 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: This is sort of what you get that that that 584 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: allows the point honestly that that comment turned. 585 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 4: My stomach when I heard it. 586 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 3: I mean, the corpse, the body was not even cold yet, 587 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 3: you know, you just the answer to that question is 588 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: we just suffered a horrible loss, and and uh uh, 589 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: it's all I'm thinking about now. I'm just thinking about 590 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: my team and my teammates and how we didn't get 591 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 3: it done. 592 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 4: You know, he didn't. 593 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 5: There's no clubhouse love and culture there, and I think 594 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 5: it's has to do with a lot of the different 595 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 5: personalities in there, and they just don't have winning type 596 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 5: and winning mojo. 597 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 3: That that answer sprinted off his tongue like he couldn't 598 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 3: wait to get out of town. And if I'm a 599 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 3: rival owner, it's something you know, it resonates with me. 600 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 3: It's something in the back of my mind. 601 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: It's for sure, no no doubt about it. 602 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 4: Man. 603 00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: That's a great point, man, great great point. So, because 604 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: the Mets are out now the Phillies game one Saturday 605 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: at Citizens Bank Park. We do not know what time 606 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: the game will be played yet, of course, because it 607 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: all depends on who wins the wild Card Series and 608 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: what those matchups are going to be, but we do 609 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: know that they are going to play the Reds or 610 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I gotta think, do we all think that 611 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are going to beat the Reds? 612 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the hats off to Tito and 613 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 5: then Nick Krawl and those guys for grinding it out, 614 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 5: young team still building. 615 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 2: Nick Krawl brings Tito back out of you. 616 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 5: Know, retirement, and uh, and that's that's a man who 617 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 5: understands winning culture. He's been there and done it and 618 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 5: how to build it. That good good young players and 619 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 5: another guy, Sean Pender who's been involved. He's a Philadelphia guy, 620 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 5: been involved with that organization for a long time in 621 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 5: player development. Really happy for those guys, I say, Louis Forward, 622 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 5: you talk to you guys. 623 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Talked about the quote post game, the immediate quote post 624 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: game from Pete Alonzo talking about how he you know 625 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm taking I'm taking the I'm you know I'm gonna 626 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: hit free agency. I equally loved the quote from Terry 627 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: Francona the other day when he was talking with the 628 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: reporters before the game and he said, I've been in 629 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: uniform since nine thirty am. I've been a uniform. I've 630 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: been I got I got here like nine in the morning. 631 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: I've been in uniform all day.

This is what you live for. I mean, 634 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: in that type of thing, I'm sure the players see 635 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: and they get excited about And even though they lost 636 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: a couple of games and they didn't exactly storm their 637 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: way into the postseason, they lost a couple of tough 638 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: games last week, I'm sure that kind of excitement, calmness, 639 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: confidence experience rubs off on a team that hasn't been 640 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: in a postseason, in a full season in years and 641 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: years and years. 642 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: Any any group, we'll feed off its leader. And Terry, 643 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 3: you know he's there. He is there at nine thirty 644 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 3: in the mornings. He's got seven pieces of bubble gum 645 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 3: chewt him up nice and soft, and then he takes 646 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 3: it and stretches it all out and it's a big, 647 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 3: big hunk of red man in the middle of it. 648 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 3: And makes a big bubblegum tobacco ball and sticks that 649 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 3: in his mouth and puts his UNI on and he's 650 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 3: ready to go. 651 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: I gotta try that. 652 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 2: He loves he loved the game, he loved being in uniform. 653 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 2: I know he cut his teeth theory. 654 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 5: Had a tough team to have to cut his teeth with, 655 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 5: but a good place to do so. Bounced around a 656 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 5: little bit, got the Boston figured, you know, got them rolling. 657 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 5: He's gone to other places, got them rolling. I mean, 658 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 5: this is a man. He goes to Cleveland and becomes 659 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 5: an iconic leader there. They overachieved for five, six, seven, 660 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 5: eight years. He creates an amazing culture, and I'm glad 661 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 5: for him. I'm glad for that organization, their leadership and 662 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 5: stuff and Uh, listen, I honestly hope we're facing them 663 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 5: because I hope that they, you know, surprise the l 664 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 5: A Dodgers. But if they do, we do end up facing, 665 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 5: they're gonna become their team is a little scrappy team 666 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 5: that can pitch a little bit. If they end up 667 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 5: beating the Dodgers, they're gonna be riding high man. They're 668 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 5: gonna be thinking about themselves. 669 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: The Dodgers are gonna be the heavy favorite, no doubt. 670 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: But you know, but but but the Reds do have 671 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: really good starting pitching Hunter, Green and Rabbit, you know, 672 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 1: so there there is a those guys dial it up 673 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: and the Red scratch across, keep close through a few innings, 674 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: and they can get in that Dodgers' bullpen, no doubt me. 675 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: That's their path to upsetting l A and the and 676 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: the Phillies playing the Reds in the n LDS. But 677 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: of course, I mean, the Dodgers are are the heavy favorites. 678 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 3: So so, lads, if I could just I know, we're 679 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 3: getting a little pinched on time here. But so Clayton 680 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 3: Kershaw pitches really well yesterday in Seattle, and then he's 681 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 3: not on their postseason roster. 682 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 4: Future Hall of Famer, not on their Hall of Fame. 683 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 3: Roster, and I, you know what, am I just not 684 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 3: on their postseason roster for the first round, not on 685 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 3: their first round postseason roster, future Hall of famer? 686 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 4: Anyway, you know, it got me to thinking. 687 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 3: You know, you think when you put together a roster, 688 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 3: you think with your head and your heart, you think logically, 689 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 3: think with some sentiment. 690 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 4: Would the Phillies do that with Aaron Nola? 691 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 3: Leave him off the first round because he's not gonna 692 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 3: pitch and he's probably not gonna pitch on the bullpennies 693 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 3: out of the bullpenny It's just not that type of 694 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 3: a pitcher, and just tell him you're gonna get the 695 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 3: ball in game I don't know, three or four of 696 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 3: the of the next round, and we're gonna try to 697 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 3: augment a roster with one different player that might be able. 698 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 4: To help us. Uh. 699 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 3: It's it's very interesting call to me that the Dodgers made. 700 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 3: I mean, Clayton Cursher may never pitch again, he's retiring, 701 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 3: but I just saw a parallel there. Wondered if the 702 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 3: Phillies would go that route. I personally don't think they will, 703 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 3: but I wanted to get you guys thoughts on it. 704 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say I agree to Jim. I 705 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if they I don't think that they 706 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: will either. I know in talking to Rob Thompson, he 707 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: has said, you know, you know, they think he could 708 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: if he pitches out of the bullpen. You know, he 709 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: mentioned he's mentioned a couple of times now, and he 710 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: mentioned this last year. The extra inning rules are different, 711 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: so he wants to have somebody with a length in 712 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 1: case the game goes extra innings. 713 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 2: And you know. 714 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: You have you have hit right exactly. So I think 715 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: you can make a strong argument for that. I think 716 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Nola is one of the guys that would understand 717 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: that and not have a stink about it. He would 718 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: not be insulted by it. He wouldn't be like, what 719 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: do you talking about? 720 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 2: Hey? 721 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: If this this can help us win and get to 722 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: the next round, I'm all for it, especially if he 723 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: knows like you could be starting Game two of the 724 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: NLCS or Game three of the NLCS. Right, It's not 725 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: like it's not like you're done, You're not gonna pitch 726 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: all postseason. It's this can help us get to the 727 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: next round. 728 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 2: Interesting to me, it's a question between two players. 729 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 5: If you want him and you're going with twelve, If 730 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 5: you want him, he stays and he's on the he's 731 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,280 Speaker 5: on the roster, and you have three guys in Walker, Bueller, 732 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 5: Taiwan Walker and him for if you don't and you 733 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,439 Speaker 5: want to save him to pitch game one or two 734 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 5: in the division series and excuse me, the NLCS, then 735 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 5: you're probably you're. 736 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 2: Probably having Lou Travino be the guy. That's the guy, because. 737 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 5: I think they're gonna go with three pitcher, three left 738 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 5: handers in May or another left hander in Mesa. 739 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 2: I think Masa is gonna be on the team because 740 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 2: he's left handed. 741 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 5: And you know, as I line things up, I think 742 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 5: Bueller and Walk and Timewine Walker will make it. I 743 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 5: think Masa will make it. And uh, And then you 744 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 5: have to decide whether or not you want to have 745 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 5: Aaron Nola or Lou Trevino. And that's as simple as that. 746 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 2: That's the question, and so that you know that's that's 747 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 2: that's the decision that they have to make. 748 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 5: I would personally take Nola over Trevino myself, But. 749 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 2: If you feel like he's. 750 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,720 Speaker 5: Definitely not gonna be able to pitch out of the bullpen, 751 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 5: then you take Trevino. 752 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're probably obsessing a little bit too much on 753 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 3: this because. 754 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 2: You're hopeful to none of those guys get used, right 755 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 2: because if. 756 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 3: You always win this thing, they're gonna win it with 757 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 3: their big, big boys. But it is interesting vis a 758 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 3: vis side by side the Kers show decision that's. 759 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 2: All no questions. 760 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 5: If, for instance, they get to the point where I 761 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 5: have the third their third pictures Lizzarto and Zardo struggles 762 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 5: in the early part of the game, do you want 763 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 5: to bring in a guy like Nola different inning or 764 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 5: the fifth inning because it's such a different. 765 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 2: Look, totally different look, power. 766 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 5: Lefty to like a you know, mix it up righty. 767 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, I don't know. It's there's 768 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 5: a whole lot of things to think about. 769 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: It's the greatest part of. 770 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 5: The season when you're a GM and you're trying to 771 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 5: figure out what's best for your team and putting together 772 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 5: your your roster and also you know, talking to the 773 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 5: manager about how he's going to use guys. It's really 774 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 5: cool and I am fascinated by all of it. 775 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of you know who's 776 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: gonna be in the final bench bat you know all that, 777 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. But you're right, Jim. If 778 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: we're debating Nola on or not, or is it auto 779 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: camp or do they put Johann Rojas on it, Really 780 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: it shouldn't matter if Harper, Schwarber turn or boem Stotts 781 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: JT do. 782 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 4: All those things. 783 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 2: Doron. 784 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: If those guys do their job, you shouldn't. It's not 785 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,760 Speaker 1: gonna matter. You should need those guys. 786 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 3: Uh. 787 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: A couple of things we want to wrap up. Just 788 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: want to say thanks to everybody. We're gonna have several 789 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: more shows this week and as the postseason goes on. 790 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you to everybody who 791 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: has supported the show throughout the year.
