1
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Kyle Forber and welcome to the Philly Show.

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: Ruben Amaro Junior, Jim Salisbury, Toddsile. It's the Philly Show.

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 3: It is Monday, February twenty third, twenty twenty six. The

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: Phillies have played their first two Graaper League games of

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 3: the season, of the schedule, and some interesting things have

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: come out of it. You guys, let's talk first impressions.

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: Anything's any standouts from the first weekend, guys. Justin Crawford's

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: debut on Saturday immediately jumped out to me. I thought

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: that was kind of a fun debut for him. Double

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: off the wall, another single, nice little sliding catch in

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: the outfield.

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: Justin Crawford.

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 4: Good debut, no question, nice way to get going. But

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: there's a long way to go.

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: They've played two spring training games and this is the

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 5: time to get ready. But I'll tell you what, even

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 5: though spring training results don't matter, even though wins and

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 5: losses don't matter, you certainly would rather have a nice

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 5: performance rather than a dog meat performance. And Justin Crawford

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 5: came out of there, swung it good, good looking player, upbeat,

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 5: always got a smile on his face.

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 4: So that was good to see, and it was good.

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 5: To see Schwaber right out of the gate four hundred

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: and thirty four feet hit it out by the alligator pond,

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 5: and you just said, you know what impression. I love

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 5: the way Bam drove the ball to right center on

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 5: that double on Sunday in the home opener for the

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 5: grape Fruit League for the Phillies. So a long way

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 5: to go, but a couple of nice little impressions for

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 5: the first couple of games.

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: I specifically went over to Dunedin that day to watch

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Justin Crawford because I'm really sort of king on his

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: outfield play and watching some of his mechanics in the outfield.

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him play a whole lot, so I'm

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: just trying to get used to what I'm seeing out

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: of him. And the one read that he had on

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: the ball coming in was excellent. It's not an easy

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: outfield to play right now, with the wind and the

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: sun the way it is. We've talked about this, I

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: think a little bit before in spring training. It's as

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: good a testing ground as you could possibly get, just

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: because you know, the elements are a little different than

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: they typically would be in a night game. In Philadelphia

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: or somewhere else, New York wherever, and so I specifically

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: watched his mechanics on that play. No false step, very

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: direct to the ball, very good jump, tracked it nicely

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: and gloved it. You know, I'm going to continue to

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: watch him. But in his first at bat, what I

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: thought was really cool was I think he got to

50
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: a two straight count and the guy tried to rush

51
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: a fastball in on him, and I don't know if

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: maybe it's ninety four to ninety five mile hour fast ball,

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: and he turned on it, and he turned on it

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: with some very short, quick hands and smoked the ball

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: out of the ballpark that would have been a home

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: run line drive. Wasn't an airborne swing. It was a

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: nice level swing, quick, short to the ball and smoked it.

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Just foul comes back, I think in the very next

59
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: pitch or a couple of pitches later, where he drives

60
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: the ball in the left center field. Really nice, relaxed

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: at bat. Doesn't look the thing that I like about

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: him right now. He just looks relaxed and comfortable and confident,

63
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: which is good at a nice start. If it was me,

64
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: i'd be up there, you know, I don't know, I

65
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: had a pretty good spring my work year in Philly,

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: but I've been like spass it out. But he's he

67
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: seems very calm and collected, and as you said, Jim,

68
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: that that Schoreber swing was like classic Schoreber showed so short,

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: so compact. It's one of the reasons why I do

70
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: believe that the quickness in his hands I don't think

71
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: will go as he gets older. Why five years from

72
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: being a guy like Schoreber. If he keeps his body

73
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: in check, which he is working on on the daily,

74
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: I think that that's an important element because the shortness

75
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: of his swing will go away.

76
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: Ruben the other thing I like.

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: The other thing I liked about Justin Crawford's first at

78
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: bat was on the very first pitch, showed bunt. Yeah,

79
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: showed bunt real quick, pulled it back, and then talking

80
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: to him after the game, Justin said it was funny

81
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: because on the way out to the ballpark, I ran

82
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: into Sean Williams, who the clear thresher's bench coach who

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: works on it with all the bunters, and I was like,

84
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: you think he'll bunt it. He's like, Oh, it'd be

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: awesome if he bunted first at bat. That'd be pretty

86
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: cool if he did that. And then he showed bunt so,

87
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: I know, I asked justin about he said, no, I

88
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: had no plans on bunting, but just want to get

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: in their heads a little bit, getting the infielders heads

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: a little bit, and you know, see if I can

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: mess with them. And he's, hey, listen, you know I

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 3: hit you know, I hit the ball on the ground

93
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: a lot, So if I can get them to move

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: in an extra foot or two, that will help me out,

95
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 3: you know.

96
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: So he did that, and then he filed off.

97
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he filed off one pitch like you mentioned, the

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: pitch down the line that he smoked, and then the

99
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: double off the wall. He said he made a little

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: adjustment with his hands late in the season with Triple A,

101
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: got his hands closer to his left ear.

102
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: He will get him quicker to the ball, yep, pretty quick.

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: Like you said, you used to have his hands out

104
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: further away from his body and it made it made

105
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: the path to get to the zone maybe a little

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: bit longer. And he looks like his hands are really

107
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: working well when I watch him in VP and stuff

108
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: like that. The cool thing about justin Is. I think

109
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: he'll really try. You know, when you have that kind

110
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: of speed, it's not just the third baseman, the first

111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: baseman and the second basement, and I have to play

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: more shallow. The shortstop also has to play a little

113
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: bit more shallow because if he hits a soft ground

114
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: ball in the infant'll be safe. And so you're forced

115
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 1: as an infield to try to cut that down, which

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: will open up space for him to get more hits.

117
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: And so, I mean that's a good thing. I don't

118
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: want the guy to be lifting the baseball. I just

119
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: wanted to hit the ball hard on the line. And

120
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: I thought I saw Charlie Manuel talking to him and

121
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: talking to him and then a ruined Ascobar just about

122
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: that very thing. He said, be hitting that ball in

123
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: the air, son, hit that ball. Drive, drive that ball

124
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: in line. Son, Be driving it. Don't be hitting the air.

125
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: Don't be letting them teach you how to hit the

126
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: ball in the air. Drive that ball in line.

127
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 5: There's a lot of teaching to hit the ball in

128
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 5: the air in the game these days, So no doubt,

129
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 5: but you're right. If Crawford, I mean, if he hits

130
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 5: the ball in the hole, towards truck stop.

131
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: There's a good chance is going to get a hit. Yeah.

132
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, We'll be right back, Tricia.

133
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 6: I'm here at spring training where the game have started.

134

Speaker 3: hours before the game really was. They put the Team

158
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: USA game versus Canada, the gold medal hockey game on

159
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: the huge the new and improved and updated in gargantuan

160
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: scoreboard and right field, and it was cool to see

161
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: the fan reaction when the USA scored that golden goal

162
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: in overtime. Kyle Schwarber was actually doing an interview with

163
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 3: the Japanese TV crew about the World Baseball Classics. So

164
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: he's sitting in the dugout right fated, directly facing the scoreboard,

165
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: and he scores a goal and he kind of gives

166
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: a little you know, at hour right, and then he

167
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: kind of had to explain the Japanese griw. Well, you know,

168
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: this is a this is a big game. You know,

169
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: we haven't won a gold medal since nineteen eighty you know,

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: we you know, we lost. We just lost to Canada.

171
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: And the and the tournament a couple you know, was

172
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: it last spring? The the final for the four the

173
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: fourth called the Four Powers.

174
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: What is the name of that tournament? Guys, four nations,

175
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: four nations. There we go.

176
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 4: I knew exactly. I thought Campliman, I didn't know that, but.

177
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: Kind of a cool moment.

178
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper and was in the clubhouse during the gold

179
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: medal ceremony, and I'm telling you he watched every second

180
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: of that ceremony, just stood there and watched it from

181
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: a few feet away.

182
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: And Brad Keller.

183
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: And I mentioned Brad Keller because like Schwarber and Harper

184
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 3: is competing for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

185
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: He was long tossing or playing catch with Jonathan Bollen

186
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: at Carpenter Complex and he said he heard a huge

187
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: roar at one point he goes, I think we just won.

188
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: So kind of a cool, kind of a cool scene

189
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: with those guys.

190
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 5: It was so cool, especially in that thirty two hundred

191
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 5: square foot scoreboard superbly rendered.

192
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: It was great to watch. I love I love.

193
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 5: Hockey, you know, and with something on the line, there's

194
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 5: nothing better.

195
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 4: There's no better game. And I talked to Aiden Miller

196
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: a little bit about it. Now here's a kid who

197
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: grew up in the Dunedin.

198
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 5: Area right up the street here, right and he was

199
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 5: a hockey player growing up. His dad grew up in Plattsburgh,

200
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: New York, and was a goalie and got his two

201
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 5: boys into it down here in Florida. Uh didn't play

202
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 5: obviously as extensively as he played baseball, but he did

203
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 5: play hockey. Still plays a little bit of stick and

204
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: puck in the winter. Goes to twenty lightning games a year.

205
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 5: So he loves hockey. And he has played with USA

206
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: across his chest for you know, for team USA.

207
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: Throughout his throughout his youth.

208
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 5: Won a gold medal once and and he admitted it

209
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 5: was much smaller scale, but you know how what a

210
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 5: thrill it is to win a gold medal with USA

211
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 5: on his chest. So I just it was such a

212
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 5: great game, so fun to watch. Rob Thompson is a Canadian.

213
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 5: Our friend Lachlan March from The Inquirer, one of the

214
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 5: Phillies writers, is from Toronto. She was disappointed in her team,

215
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 5: but just a lot of a nice little subplot in

216
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 5: camp on Sunday.

217
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: It was pretty cool.

218
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: That was really exciting watching it in the broadcast room.

219
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: And I was jumping around like a little child when

220
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: Jack fired that puck into the back of the net.

221
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: And and and his interviews afterwards, please if he can

222
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: check check out the interviews afterwards. It will literally bring

223
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: a tear to your eye about how passionate he was

224
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: and how grateful he was to uh to be on

225
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: that team. That seemed like quite the brotherhood there with

226
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: that USA Hockey team. Pretty pretty exture and shout out

227
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: to the ladies as well, man. I mean, yeah, they

228
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: had an unbelievable, unbelievable finish as well, just as exciting.

229
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: But for them to uh to do that on the

230
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,800

Speaker 5: of the huge brothers of these graceful players. And he

253
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: described the Kochuck brothers as the kids in the neighborhood

254
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,920

Speaker 2: It's not the Olympics.

265
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 3: Maybe they get to do the Olympics in a couple

266
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 3: of years with the pros, the MLB Stars, that would

267

296
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: And Harper talked about it. Harper talked about it on

297
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: the broadcast. Uh during I guess the sixth or seventh

298
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: inning or something when he came out of the game.

299
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: Harper did talk about how important it was for him

300
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: to to be a part, about how excited he was,

301
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: how fired up he was about being in this, you know,

302
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: being uh in the World Baseball Classic, and how awesome

303
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: it was to watch the USA hockey team win. And uh,

304
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of pride it goes on

305
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: with the athletes. It's hard for me to imagine a

306
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: an event that brings players together, athletes together more than

307
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,440

Speaker 4: Could you know you could carry a team to victory?

316
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 5: But they got They're gonna be pedal to the metal

317
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: very very early in their training stage.

318
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 4: Do you worry about that? I do worry about it.

319
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: I did worry about it as a GM. Pictures in particular,

320
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: players not as much pictures in particular because when you

321
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: get on the mound, you're getting you're trying to get

322
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: those guys out. It's sound like you can ease into it.

323
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: And the beauty of our pitching staff, which someone I

324
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: forget what it was who actually pointed that out, but

325
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: it was a great comment. We have the type of

326
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: pitching staff that does not necessarily try to blow the

327
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: ball past everybody. They pitch. Not everybody pitches like Ranger

328
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: Suarez pitched, but they pitch. And so the beauty of

329
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: that is that I don't think that our particular players

330
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: are going to put themselves in a position to strain

331
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: because they that's not how they go about it. There

332
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: are other pitchers ninety five percent of them in Major

333
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: League Baseball who max effort, and that's not how the

334
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: Phillies do it. So, yes, there's a concern because of

335
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: the competition and the juices that get flown and the

336
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: adrenaline that it gets going, it's hard to back off.

337
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: But the style of pitching with which the organization uses

338
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: is not about max's effort. It's about pitching and maximizing

339
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, location and execution.

340
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 5: Well well, nonetheless, I hope Nola and Chrises get their

341
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 5: work in, dazzle the opponents and then put them in

342
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 5: bubble wrap and get them back here.

343
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,600

364
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: Sorry but no, no, it's quite a right. I just

365
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, you made a comment, Jim at the very end.

366
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: What was that comment? It was, uh, it was about

367
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: bubble wrapping them up.

368
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm you know, I think it's great

369
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 5: they're pitching for their country. I mean, but you know,

370
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 5: this is a thin pitching staff. It's the starting pitching

371
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 5: is so important on this team. It's I think it's

372
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 5: still a team. That's the bedrock of the team. I

373
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 5: still believe is starting pitching. But it's thin and it's aging,

374
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: and you need Wheeler to come back healthy whenever he's

375
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 5: back in Mayish or whatever, and you need Nola.

376
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 4: To bounce back and be healthy.

377
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 5: But Nola and Sanchez and Sanchez the second in the saw,

378
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 5: you know, he's so important just you know, go out there,

379
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: pitch for your country, stay healthy and then bubble wrap

380
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 5: them up and get them back here because it's just

381
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 5: you know, I know, it's important to play for your country.

382
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 5: The w b C is still an exhibition. This is

383
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: about winning a ring and winning a world series because

384
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 5: there's you know, three million plus people in the stands

385
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 5: up there who want to see.

386
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: It, particularly the pitching staff. Because it's so it is

387
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: as you said then with regard to the starting pieces,

388
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: and uh, I think that the Phillies are going to

389
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: still continue to try to pound the pavement there to

390
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: see if they can find somebody they can they need to,

391
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: they can give them a little bit more death.

392
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: They absolutely need to, uh aid Miller. Jim, you talked

393
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: to him yesterday and then we found out a little later.

394
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 4: That he has a sore back.

395
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 3: So but it doesn't seem to be too serious according

396
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: to the Phillies, you know, but it's something worth keeping

397
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: an eye on for for him.

398
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Here. Tricky backs are tricky, just like risks and stuff

399
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: like that for players, but for the athlete, the back

400
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: is tricky. Obviously, they want to make sure that they

401
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: knock it out and take care of it. One thing

402
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: I will say about the medical people, Paul Bukhite, who

403
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: is runs the show, they're as good as in advanced

404
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: and as talented a group as there possibly is, and

405
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna need it because they are an agent group.

406
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: But they do have one of the if not the

407
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: best medical people in the game. They have blended and

408
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: Paul has been great about that since I was with

409
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: him in Boston. They have blended old school ideals with

410
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: state of the art information and treatments and prehabs and

411
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. So the people across the board, Morgan,

412
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: there's so many different guys who are involved in keeping

413
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,120
Speaker 1: these guys on the on the field, and they are

414
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: maybe some of the best in the game at doing

415
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: that and they need it.

416
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: See Phillies.

417
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 3: This week, they're gonna be on the West coast, I'm sorry,

418
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 3: the East coast of Florida.

419
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 2: We're on the west coast. They're on the East coast.

420
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: They're gonna be on the East Coast games Monday and

421
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: Tuesday against the Nationals and Marlins, and then they come back,

422
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: come back this way, so they'll be out of market

423
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: next couple of days, a couple of road games, a

424
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 3: little overnight bus trip to the east side of Florida.

425
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: At least they got it out of the way early

426
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, they get it out of the way,

427
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: and now they're gonna have a normal spring training.

428
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: Right they don't have the Jim. Did you enjoy those

429
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 2: trips out east?

430
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 5: I used to make those trips all the time because

431
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 5: every year I would go over and do I would

432
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 5: do the National League East.

433
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 4: So I drive over and do a story, spend a

434
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: day in Mets camp. Yeah, who else was over there?

435
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: The Expos were over there. The Nationals were over there, obviously,

436
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 5: so uh Mets the Mets' no I forgetting the Mets.

437
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 5: I would go and I would I would actually get

438
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 5: up in clear Water at like four in the morning

439
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 5: and be in my car at like four point thirty,

440
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 5: and I would drive down seventy five and I would

441
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: jump on this little country road, uh State Road seventy

442
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 5: takes you right across Florida through Mosquito Creek, and Arcadia,

443
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 5: and you'll go buy that big lake okeechobe or whatever

444
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 5: it is, and I'd pull off the road. They have

445
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: a nice place where you can buy some cowboy boots.

446
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 5: And I'm telling you, you get you're in the you're

447
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 5: in country, your country living, and then you pop out

448
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 5: on it and all of a sudden you hit uh

449
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 5: Fort Pierce and there's a waffle house there, and jump

450
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 5: in there, get a nice coffee. Now you're on ninety

451
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 5: five and you're picking off the Mets and you're going

452
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: down getting the other other T teams. But so I

453
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 5: would go. I would do that like three times in

454
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 5: the spring. I'd go over, get up before in the morning,

455
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 5: go over and spend the day in Mets camp, and

456
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 5: I drive back at night to clear Water.

457
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: And uh, I'm going to do that again.

458

Speaker 4: Seventy.

468
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,439

Speaker 5: eighteen wheelers carrying oranges, I mean you were, you were

470
