1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: There, Hi, This is Zach Wheeler. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 2: Welcome to Philly, shown tomorrow Junior Jim Salisbury, Todd's a 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: lucky It is Sunday, October fifth, twenty twenty five. I 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 2: would ask everybody how they are doing, but the Phillies 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: lost Game one of the National League Division Series to 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park five to three. 7 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: Let's jump right into it. It's time for the park's 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: first pitch. First pitch is brought to us exclusively by 9 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. Guys. 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: People are not happy Philly three? Where should they be? 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 2: And the thing that jump a lot. We're gonna talk 12 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: about a lot of different things that happen. A lot 13 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: of a lot of things go into a loss every game. 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: Of course, in the postseason, everything is magnified. But I 15 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: couldn't help but think last night talking to this a 16 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: couple of guys walking out of the ballpark. The Phillies 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 2: have now lost four of their last five postseason games 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: at Citizens Bank Park. That's since Game six of the 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three NLCS against the Diamondbacks red October four 20 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 2: hours of hell. Is it gone? 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Four hours of hell? 22 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 3: Four is it for the Phillies or the opposing team? 23 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 4: Four four hours of four hours of quel? As in 24 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 4: the fans have been very quiet. Yeah, it's you know, 25 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 4: with the outcome of those games, it's hard to believe. 26 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 4: I mean that the Game one loss last night, it 27 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 4: had a familiar ring to it, like Game one of 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 4: the Mets series last year. A little bit of early offense, 29 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 4: don't sustain it, give away a lead, bullpen gets hit. 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 5: So Sanchez left the door open a little bit. 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 4: You know, Robertson put Straw in a tough spot in 32 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 4: the taskar Herendez, who is a tough postseason player, man 33 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 4: hits a big run. 34 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: And he's hot. Yeah, it was tough go. 35 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: I mean, listen, you know, whenever you get out to 36 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: an early lead like that and you get the. 37 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: Crowd into it. You know. 38 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: One of the things that the Phillies were doing when 39 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 3: they were going really well is they'd score runs early, 40 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: tack on another run, grab another run, you know, flipping 41 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: another one. Someone would pop one another little home run, 42 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: and they would slow things down. 43 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: But you cannot do that with these teams. 44 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: In the in the playoffs, especially a team of talented 45 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: as the Los Angeles Dodgers, and especially when your weakness 46 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: is your bullpep and that has been sort of the week. 47 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: Now it's gotten better because Doran's back there, but it 48 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: doesn't We talked about it before. 49 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: We'll talk about it again. The ugly sixth, seventh and 50 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: eighth is a little bit. 51 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: Of a black hole for the Phillies and they have 52 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: to somehow figure out and you know, you have to 53 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: have the three batter minimum. That puts them in a 54 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 3: tough spot. All that stuff really puts them in a 55 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: tough spot. And they don't have any lockdown guys that 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: are like the bridge to lidch so to speak. 57 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 4: They missed Wheeler because Wheeler is a guy who would 58 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: navigate his own sixth and seventh. You know, it would 59 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 4: be nice if they could have gotten that last night. 60 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: It would be nice if they get that from wizartro 61 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: in Game two, which now is a pressure they're all 62 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: pressure packed, but it becomes increasingly pressure packed. But the 63 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 4: offense just has to sustain. You know, you have chances 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 4: late in that game. You end up one for seven 65 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: at scoring position. I mean, Harper's talking about they missed 66 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: a lot of pitches, right down the middle, but a 67 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 4: lot of those pitches were one hundred show Hey Hotani 68 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: man hit twenty three swings and misses and six innings. 69 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Think about that. Got to hit it. 70 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: I mean, listen, he's got great stuff. And I know 71 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: hitting is difficult. It was very difficult for me. But 72 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: these guys are elite hitters and at some point you 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: could have to put the bat on the baseball. If 74 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: you don't, you're in trouble. These guys have really really 75 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: good stuff. Oh Tony, Tony's a robot. Man, He's a 76 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 3: freaking robot. He's a bot. 77 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: And uh, it's really really impressive. But you know, he 78 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: left some pitches in the middle. I mean, look at JT. 79 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: JT smoked one in the right center field. Tay Oscar 80 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: Hernandez was picking his nose and right. I don't know 81 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: what he was. 82 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: Doing all past and just bizarre, but he got attack 83 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: on runs. 84 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: Man. 85 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 3: They had opportunities, unfortunately, you know, they had a basis 86 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: loaded and had a pinch hitter going in there with 87 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 3: the Mundo who often comes through, gets a pitch to 88 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: hit and just you know, just misses it off of Vessie. 89 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: But that fight got to go through Yeah, Schwarber skied 90 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: that one up in the first inning of like one 91 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: aw eight off the bat. He just missed that one 92 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: as well. So some near misses. But you know, you 93 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: think back to the game and you go, wow, they scored. 94 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: If I had told you yesterday afternoon, we're gonna put 95 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: three runs on Otani in the second inning, uh, And 96 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: I know he's It's not a one man team. Far 97 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: from it. The Dodgers are elite, elite, elite, But say now, 98 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: the Phillies pitchers, he's gonna o is gonna strike up 99 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: to carry a three nothing lead into this They're gonna 100 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: have a three nothing lead with two outs and nobody 101 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: on in the sixth inning. Everybody in the world would say, 102 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: sign me up, baby, and I love my chances going 103 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: in the rest of that game. And that's kind of 104 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: you know, it's just absolute killer to lose that And 105 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: and teams that have road teams division series history. In 106 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: the current two to two one format, teams to win 107 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 2: game one on the road have advanced thirty four of 108 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: forty six times, seventy three point nine percent of the time. 109 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: When the road team wins a current two to two 110 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: one series, they go on in advance to the NLCS. 111 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: So tough, tough task whoever you're playing, especially with, but 112 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: especially with against the Dodgers, No doubt. 113 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: I thought Christopher centers through well. He did well. He 114 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: I think he generally did his job. 115 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: Couldn't get through that six right, yeah, yeah, and it 116 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 3: sort of puts the team in a little bit of 117 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: a difficulty. 118 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: It's the Dodgers. They're not a joke. It's a really 119 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: good team. 120 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: And I know Christopher Santa is good, good stuff, good 121 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 3: change up all that stuff. If he gets through the 122 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: six man, they're in a really different position. 123 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: Different. 124 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 4: All right, We're going to keep digging into this, but 125 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 4: for now, that was first pitch presented exclusively by our 126 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. Parkscasino dot 127 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 4: com is the website. You must be twenty one to 128 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 4: two participate and if you have a gambling problem called 129 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: one eight hundred gambler. 130 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: So you guys mentioned Harper and how we said he 131 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: left some you know, missed some pitches and you still 132 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: got to hit him. Top of the Phillies lineup in 133 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: Game one, Trey Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, combined one 134 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: for eleven, one walk and six strikeouts. Jim, you mentioned 135 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: the team as a whole one for seven with runners 136 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: in scoring position. They had opportunities, you know, Harper, And 137 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: again this is a really small sample size, but pitches 138 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: over the heart of the play yesterday and you said 139 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: one hundred mile an hour pitches and nasty breaking stuff 140 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: and off speed stuff, pitches over the heart of the plate. 141 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: In Game one, Phillies batted two hundred very very small 142 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: sample size. It happens in every game to every team 143 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: over the course of the season. But during the course 144 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: of the season overall, the Phillies were three twenty seven 145 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: on pitches over the heart of the plates. So they 146 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: did get some pitches. They did get some pitches they 147 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: could hit one hundred miles an hour, nasty breaking stuff, 148 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: splitter you know, splitters whatever. Uh but but they but 149 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: they couldn't handle it. And it doesn't get any easier 150 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: with with Blake Snell new to on on Monday night. 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: So you know, offense needed to do a better job, 152 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: and there seemed to be a lot of lamenting in 153 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: the clubhouse that they should have done a better job, 154 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: regardless of the quality of the stuff. 155 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: Should be lamenting. 156 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: Those guys at the top of the lineup combined. What 157 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 3: are they making? 158 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, uh, well those dollar guys there. 159 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: They're making eighty million dollars. They're the guys that need 160 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: to come through. 161 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 3: They can't necessarily rely on the bones and the Kepler's 162 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: and the stots and the marshals, can't. Those guys have 163 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 3: to do their jobs too, you know, I really expect 164 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 3: them to. I mean, there's a lot of base ball 165 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 3: lefts not. I know we're gloom and dooming here. There's 166 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: a lot of baseball left. But their backs are a 167 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: little bit against the wall, especially with the five game series. Man, 168 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: you've got to even it up to go into Los 169 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: Angeles for a chance to bring it back to Philly. 170 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 5: And not to dooling gloom more on the offense. 171 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 4: But if the Oscar cuts off that ball that real 172 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 4: Moto hit, they only get two runs off of Tani 173 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: in the second inning, right, three sounds a lot more 174 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 4: then two, you know, and a lot more of a 175 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 4: difficult you know. So the offense just was not there 176 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 4: except for one little pocket. 177 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 3: Can't happen in just one inning. It's gonna happen. Uh, 178 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: It's gonna happen more consistently, and the. 179 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: Top of the top of the order's got to get 180 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: it done. They you know, it's their job. 181 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: That's their job, and that's why I you know, I 182 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: think every every Phillies fan probably thought this way. But 183 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: after the second inning they're up three to nothing, you go, wow, 184 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: you know, and and Turner, Schwarburn, Harper weren't even involved 185 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: so many. Maybe they can actually get to a tany 186 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: and obviously he settled in after that. Phillies had three hits. 187 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 2: I think it was just three hits after the second inning. 188 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: After after JT's triple, Taoscar Hernandez assisted triple. 189 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 4: Oh TONI had four to one two three innings. Yeah, 190 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 4: you know, four one, two, three innings out of six. 191 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 4: I mean that's second. 192 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: There was a compression on the picture, There's no question 193 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: about it. And they just got to do a better 194 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 3: job offensively. There's I mean, what else is there to say? 195 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 6: Uh? 196 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: Is it the time off? I don't know, I don't 197 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: think so. Necessarily. I do know this. Are they a 198 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: little tight maybe? Are they trying to do too much? Maybe? 199 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: But they need to go play baseball and they need 200 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 3: to go have some fun and do their damage because 201 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: they're talented men, and you know that's what they're paid 202 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: to do. 203 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 5: This. 204 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 2: If you're looking for a silver lining, I mean, certainly, 205 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: it is the fact that this team has shown a 206 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: lot of resilience, no doubt, over over the years. You know, 207 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: they got remember when they got swept in New York 208 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: last month and everybody's like they're shrewd and and and 209 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: it's you know, we were talking about it about the 210 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: letting the Mets back in and it was almost like 211 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: that series never happened as soon as they left New 212 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: York and and then they cruised. Did the analyst title 213 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: not saying it's gonna happen again, just saying the Phillies 214 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: are as as well equipped as anybody to kind of 215 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 2: maybe brush this one and bounce back, but it's gonna 216 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: be tough against the Dodgers. So a lot of fans 217 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: are very upset with Rob Thompson's pitching moves, the moves 218 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: that he made in the game. You know, did he 219 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: let Christopher Sanchez stay in the game too long? You know, 220 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 2: why did he have David Robertson start the bottom of 221 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: the seventh inning instead of maybe Matt Strom or instead 222 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: of maybe somebody else. I don't know. 223 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 3: I mean, what the guys he trusts right now, he's 224 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 3: trying to hold the lead. He's going with the guys 225 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 3: that are supposed to be the plus pitchers. He went 226 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: with the guys he's got. They have to perform. They 227 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: don't perform. You walk people, you don't throw strikes, you don't. 228 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 5: Walk to out walk by Sanchez with killer that. 229 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: That was a killer, no doubt. 230 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: But but when you bring the other guys in, you 231 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: expect them to do their jobs. 232 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: They don't do their jobs, you're screwed. So then you 233 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: look like a dope. But the reality is those guys 234 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: have to you know, those guys have to perform. You 235 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: bring them in for a reason. 236 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: It happened last year when Hoppin blew up and several 237 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: guys blew up in that bullpen. 238 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: You got to be able to pitch. You got to 239 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: get your job done. If you don't get your job done, 240 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: then you make. 241 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: The manager looks like it, you know, you know, looks 242 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: like he doesn't know what he's doing. 243 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: Right, I didn't have a problem with him sending Robertson 244 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 4: threw six sweat free pitches out to get out of 245 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: that sixth. 246 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 5: I had a problem send them back off for the seventh. 247 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: And Robertson was hard on himself after the game, right Todd, 248 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 4: he said, he put, yes, HiT's a guy with a pitch. 249 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 4: He hits, hits Will Smith. Us with that pitch, gives 250 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 4: a single and hits Will Smith. And now Strom's going 251 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: to come in and clean up first and first and 252 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: second with no os And he almost almost did it. 253 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: It was the Robertson's face and the eight to nine 254 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,479 Speaker 2: hole hitters. I mean, you know it's very good, but 255 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: but and Will Smith is very good. But yeah, that's 256 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: why he's there. 257 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: You know. 258 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: The one thing I've learned covering baseball over the years 259 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: is you know, sometimes the move's work and sometimes they don't. 260 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: Now it doesn't mean the manager never makes a mistake 261 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: and doesn't make any questionable decisions. I get it. But 262 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: as you said, Reuben, the pit, the players have to 263 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: perform in those spots. You know, he put his trusted arms, 264 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: trusted players in certain positions to perform. They did not perform. 265 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: I was not watching this go on. Hold let me 266 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: put it this way. When the when the seventh inning starting, 267 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 2: David Robertson jogged back out there. I wasn't like, what 268 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 2: the hell is Rob Thompson doing now? When Nick Castiana's 269 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 2: pitch hit for Harrison Bader, I was going, well, something 270 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 2: is definitely up. This would be a highly unusual situation 271 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: if Rob tops it all of a sudden, pinch it 272 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: Nick Castias for Harrison Vader uh in the seventh Nay, 273 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: it turns out there was an injury. But you know, 274 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: they just didn't They just didn't do the job. 275 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: You know, went with the guys that he trusts right now. 276 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: He doesn't trust O'Ryan Kirkering when they're leading. He trusts 277 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: them when they're behind. You see how well he threw 278 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: the ball when he was they were behind. His stuff 279 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 3: was guilty, but he was they were down to nothing 280 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 3: or down two runs at that point, right He doesn't. 281 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 3: I don't think that he feels like Ryan Kirkan can 282 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: hold the lead. That's the reason why he didn't pitch. 283 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 3: Had I Oryan Kirklan finished the season strong, he might 284 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: have been in that situation after Dave Robertson came out, 285 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: he might have been the guy to take the baseball. 286 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: But he doesn't trust him right now, and. 287 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: I don't he also had the lefties. 288 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 5: He had he had to. He had to. He had 289 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 5: to budget in his. 290 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: Mind for Tommy correct right now one, then he. 291 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 4: Had two lefties after the after Hernandez. So I could 292 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 4: see what he was doing with the three lefty thing. 293 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 4: He was trying to get kind of the best of 294 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 4: both worlds. He wanted him on Otani and then you 295 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 4: have him at the back of that if you need him. 296 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 5: So Hernandez put a good swing on a pitch down 297 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 5: the middle. 298 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: He Ranger Swarez was in the bullpen in Game one, 299 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: but he was not a consideration at the time. Rob 300 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: basically put him in the bullpen for an earlier game situation. 301 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: If Sanchez ran in some serious trouble, he got to 302 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: win that game. And so he liked the idea of 303 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: having swears maybe come in if you know, something happened 304 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: and injury to Sanchez. He had to lead the game early. 305 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: So he had Suarez out there for that situation. 306 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: He was not. 307 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: Rob said he was not not. Maybe he should have been. 308 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. Here. 309 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: There was a man on first and second when the 310 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: Oscar Hernandez was at the plate. 311 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: M H. 312 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 3: So essentially there's a base open you have a left 313 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: handed hitter hitting behind him. I always believe that when 314 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 3: you have a guy, a hot hitter like Hernandez who's 315 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 3: been outstanding, and I I know it's Freddie Freeman and 316 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 3: behind him, you basically have a base open. 317 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: You really do. So you have to be super careful. 318 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: And I think that they just threw too many pitches 319 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 3: in the zone to tay Oscar. You can nibble, you 320 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 3: can beat a little finer. They went right after him, 321 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: and I know Strom is generally a guy that goes 322 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: after guys, but why not make him try to swing 323 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 3: over a couple of sliders? Why not, you know, throw 324 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 3: some pitches out of the zone, making chase a little bit. 325 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: I My strategy is, Okay, am I gonna let thea 326 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: Oscar or Nana's beat me? 327 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: Or am I gonna let Freddy Freeman, who's a left 328 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: hander beat me? 329 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: Which way do I go? And if I feel more 330 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: confident in getting you know, Freddie Freeman out and I'm 331 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 3: a left hander, then maybe you're a little bit more 332 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 3: careful with Taoscar and Nana's the man's been the hottest 333 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 3: fricking hitter in baseball for the last you know, for 334 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 3: the last few you know games. I mean, sometimes I 335 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 3: think that there's a strategy that goes on in the 336 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: game that some people don't understand that. I feel like, hey, 337 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 3: make the Knight chase if you walk him, so what 338 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: bases loaded? 339 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: So what you still got Freddy? You can still get 340 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman out. Just a thought. 341 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: Uh So during the game, after Hernandez, Homer's this this 342 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: screen grab of the pitch seconds before to task, Hernandez 343 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: popped up. I don't know if Reuben did you see this? Yeah, 344 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: so pa Hees is signaling, you know, everybody goes, oh 345 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: my gosh. Well, obviously pies can see directly into Matt 346 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: Strom's glove. He can see that he's throwing him a fastball. Now, 347 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: I talk with Strom after the game about it, and 348 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 2: I showed I showed him this image, and I said, 349 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: everybody thinks it. Pius was telling ta Oscar, here comes 350 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: a fastball, and Strom basically dismissed it. And here's why. 351 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 2: He basically said, if you if you know this, I 352 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: throw every single one of my pitches with my fingers 353 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: right next to each other. So he said, when you 354 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 2: have the ball in my glove. The only he would 355 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 2: have to have like incredible vision, Pahes because the only 356 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: thing he could be able to notice is if he 357 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: could could he actually see where the horseshoe is positioned 358 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 2: deep into my glove. He's like, if he could actually 359 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: see that, God bless him. Tip of the cap. I 360 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: don't believe he was. He he was signaling to Hernandez here. 361 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: Comes signal twice. I saw him do that signal twice 362 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: once on Mookie. Mooky missed the fastball. 363 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: And so popped up Strom's. Strom's feeling is that this 364 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: the arm out was maybe where the pitch was. It 365 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 2: was location location, it was location. So what now if 366 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 2: you looked at the pitch and where JT was set up, 367 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 2: he was set up inside and the pitch was out 368 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: over the plate, so he missed his location, but it 369 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: was up and writing kind of as JT said right 370 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 2: in his sweet spodies like taoscar does very well. As 371 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: he proved on a bat on a pitch out over 372 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: the plate. He went out and got it, and uh 373 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: so I just wanted to mention that again. If if 374 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: you're watching this on YouTube, you can see I mean, 375 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 2: just just search for Matt Strom, you know tipping, and 376 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 2: on the internet today you can see that. But Strom said, no, 377 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: he was not telling people what pitch was coming. 378 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: And he didn't execute the pitch right. 379 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 3: He was supposed to throw a fastball in he left 380 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: that over the light and he and it got and 381 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: it got nailed. 382 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: And when it first we got off went off the bat. 383 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: I thought maybe it was just a fly ball, but 384 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: they Oscar's got a lot of power. 385 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: To right center field. You've seen it over the last 386 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: several weeks. 387 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the same thing. Off the bat. I 388 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: was like the way bater was running after it, I 389 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: was like, oh, he might catch us, bought the warning 390 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: track and then obviously he just ran out of real estate. 391 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 2: The only person Strom thought the same thing. Baiter thought 392 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: the same thing. 393 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: Uh. 394 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: The only person that said off the bat. He thought 395 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: it was troubles JT because he was right there and 396 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: he could hear the the impact of the bat off 397 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 2: the ball. With the off the bat, I should say, So, 398 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 2: you know, Game two is on Tuesday night, six oh 399 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 2: eight pm.

I'm sorry 424 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 2: it was announced initially he left the game with a 425 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: strained hamstring, and they're going, oh my gosh, the worst 426 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: case scenario for the Phillies. They lose their center fielder. 427 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: That affects so much what they can do in terms 428 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: of the lineup and how they match up against guys. 429 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: Then after the game, Rob thomp says, it's actually just 430 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: quad tightness. 431 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: Growing tightness. 432 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, groin tightness. I'm sorry, groin tightness. Thanks Jim. 433 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: But he is going to get some imaging on it today. 434 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: After the game, Harrison Bader, I mean it sounded about 435 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 2: as confident as you could get about a guy who 436 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 2: left the game, a postseason game in the seventh inning 437 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: because of a leg injury. I don't know what to. 438 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: Imagine that he'll be back. 439 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: I can't imagine if he's got a real growing strain, 440 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 3: I can't imagine he can play. 441 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: Well. 442 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 4: They used the word tightness, so you know they there 443 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 4: were a lot of mixed signals coming out of there. 444 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 5: It was at first it. 445 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 4: Was a hamstring strain, hamstring strain, and then an hour later, 446 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 4: it was growing tightness and Bader was very confident he'll 447 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 4: be back. 448 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. 449 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 5: I just know how cautious they are with stuff. 450 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 4: But I also know it's the time of the year 451 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 4: where you you know, you know you're going all out. 452 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 4: He made a great play on the ball last night. 453 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 4: If he's not in there, they are going to miss him. 454 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 4: He also had that great at bat in the second inning, 455 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 4: so you have to hope that. 456 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 5: He's okay. 457 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: But who knows. The lineup totally changes, the defense, totally 458 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 2: changes You mentioned that play, Jim the diving catch. 459 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: You know a lot of. 460 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: People were wondering, like, why did Rob Thompson hit Harrison 461 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: Bader eighth in Game one? Because he wanted a high 462 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 2: You have Trey Turner back, and you have a high 463 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 2: on base percentage guy at the bottom of the lineup 464 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: to help turn the lineup over. Now you have a 465 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: guy maybe on bass for Trey Turner College Corbert. Hypothetically, theoretically, 466 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 2: you know that those guys knock hit Harrison Bader in 467 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 2: because he's on base. So it changes everything. Now, Brandon 468 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: marsh if he's unable to play, he has to play 469 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 2: center field. You lose one of the platoons situations and 470 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: would be bad news. But Harrison said after the game, 471 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: I definitely feel like I'll be able to come back. 472 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 2: For sure. We have an off day tomorrow. We'll just 473 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 2: get some imaging and go from there. But I mean 474 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 2: every time anytime I hear imaging. 475 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: About it, I think Aiden Miller, ad Miller coming up. 476 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 3: I mean, does that to have another right handed bat 477 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 3: and somebody who can run the bases. 478 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: That would be a heck of a thing, you know. Yeah, 479 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: Justin Well, Justin Crawford. People, if they were wondering about Justin, 480 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: I mean, he's another he's a left handed bat. But 481 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: he finished this he had a concussion at the end 482 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: of the year and they send him, send him home 483 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: and said he was done. You know, but that would 484 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: be very problem. 485 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't get hot Camp. I don't think that he's. 486 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 2: He's not He's Aden Miller is not not get hot 487 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: camp either. They don't have any out, they don't have. 488 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: Any has got the quad? Right, So, yes, who is 489 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: that person? Right? 490 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 5: Jas is still active? 491 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 4: Right, he's just could be Garrett Stubbs, could be Garrett Stubbs. 492 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: They could free up Marshawn. 493 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: They hit as a pin hitter, as a switch hitter, 494 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 3: that's a possibility, yeah, if they have to. 495 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: If they have to, I l him. 496 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 3: The question is does a rule still apply that if 497 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: you I L for the end of for this round, 498 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 3: that you are also automatically on the IL for the 499 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: next round. I think that that is leath So I 500 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: think that's still in play. I do not know if 501 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: that rule has still is still you know, being utilized. 502 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: I mean maybe there's not. Maybe maybe Again, if you're 503 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: a Phillies fan, if you're the Phillies, you're hoping that 504 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 2: Bader felt some tightness, as they said after the game, 505 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: growing tightness, and he's like, I just don't want to 506 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: blow out. I'm a little nervous. And then he gets 507 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 2: the imaging today it's like, actually, we'll work on here 508 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: for the next forty eight hours and he'll be back 509 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: in the line for Game two. 510 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 5: Against the lefty. They need that bad against. 511 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 7: The left I would just be really surprised that it 512 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 7: was a cautionary move, because cautionary moves you don't make 513 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 7: in the playoffs. 514 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 3: Man, if he was able to play, I. 515 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: Think he'd stay in there. 516 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 3: He must have something because guys like that don't come out. 517 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: Of the game unless there's something going on and that 518 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: concerns me. 519 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 3: Listen, I hope, against hope that I'm completely wrong, but 520 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: I would be surprised that he doesn't go on the 521 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 3: IL after having been taken out with a growing issue. 522 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 4: Well, that would be that would be a tough law. Well, 523 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 4: how do we feel about Rob's pitching decision? 524 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 5: Is going to go with? Uh Lozardo in game two? 525 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: I think I'm fine with it. I just think. 526 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 4: Lozardo being down one game, his big challenge is going 527 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 4: to be, you know, controlling his emotions, controlling the pressure 528 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 4: of it all. 529 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 3: I think the idea was brilliant because it allows Suarez 530 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: to pitch in a couple of games if they really 531 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: needed them. Obviously they didn't use them, and now he's 532 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 3: still at least for now, he's still able to be 533 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: you know, to start on regular you know, in the 534 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: third game. But they also have Nola just in case. 535 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: I mean, they have Nola. 536 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: As the fourth guy. 537 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: So if they have to utilize them, and they might 538 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 3: have to, because this next game is a kind of 539 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 3: a door eye type of a game, if they have 540 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 3: to use them, then, uh then Nola's probably pitching Game three. 541 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 2: You got it. Yeah, no, yeah, I can see that. 542 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: You have to win game two. You can't go you 543 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,239 Speaker 2: can't lose Game two and go, well, you know we can. 544 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: We've won three games in a row before. Sure, they 545 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 2: have not got stadium in the post season. It's an 546 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: entirely different animal. Uh, but yeah, it's Blake Snell versus 547 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 2: Jesus Zardo in game two. Snell in his career against 548 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 2: the Phillies two and three three eight ninety ra. He 549 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: got he faced. 550 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: The last time out, his last them out against him. 551 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: He was filthy. And he has got a change up 552 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: working right now. He's the biggest swinging miss pitcher in baseball. 553 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: Philly's swinging miss a lot. 554 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 3: That's not a great matchup for the boys, and they're 555 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 3: gonna have to make some adjustments, especially right he's against 556 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 3: that left handed change up. 557 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: It's been outstanding and he has a great hammer. 558 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: Blake Blake Snell Dodger Stadium in September seventeen, seven scoreless innings, 559 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: two hits, two walks, a twelve punch outs. 560 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 4: Yes, twelve, And he's got enough, he's got enough cockiness 561 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 4: to him that he'll he'll love pitching this environment ain't 562 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 4: gonna intimidate him. I mean, the Philly's got to go 563 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 4: out and have good at bats against the guy. Put 564 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 4: some traffic on the bases early and sustain well. 565 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 3: The other thing that he'll do is if you put 566 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 3: traffic on the basis. This sounds kind of crazy, but 567 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 3: you can get an extra ninety feet on the guy 568 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 3: because he doesn't have a good pickoff, movie doesn't hold runners, 569 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 3: and he bounces a lot of balls. You can anticipate 570 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 3: balls in the dirt on him. You can do a 571 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: lot of things to put some pressure on him if 572 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: you get base runners on and make something happen. 573 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: Not a very not very good in the stretch. 574 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: They got to get They got it again, obvious, but 575 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: they've got to get to an early lead because if 576 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 2: they fall behind early, it's gonna have that twenty twenty 577 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: three Game seven vibe at Citizen Bank Park. That's gonna 578 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: have that Game five, twenty eleven NLDS vibe at Citizen 579 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 2: Bank Park where you can feel how tight the fans 580 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: are because they're thinking, Holy are they gonna lose? This 581 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 2: is the season going to be over. So they got 582 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: to get through an early leading, get the crowd into it. 583 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 3: You made a great point, though, Todd. This is one 584 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 3: of the most resilient teams. They bounce back and win 585 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 3: games like this after being knocked down. They get knocked down, man, 586 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 3: and they bounced right back up. And I am I 587 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 3: am actually confident that they're gonna come out and play 588 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 3: a good game of baseball because now they're backs against 589 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 3: the wall and their resilience over the last several years 590 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 3: has been something that's real positive. 591 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 4: And then it's the real go ahead, just gonna say 592 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 4: they need, they need, they need their three big boys 593 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 4: at the top to do something, because when when your 594 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 4: big boys do something, it kind of puts a feeling 595 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 4: for everybody takes an exhale throughout the whole dugout that 596 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 4: you know, you know, big Brothers is back or our 597 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 4: stars are back, and it makes everybody feel a little 598 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 4: bit better and everybody breathes a little bit. And when 599 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 4: you relax a little bit, you play better. When you 600 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 4: tell you play like crap. 601 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: And let me just say this again, and I'll reiterate. 602 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: If those guys don't come through, they're in trouble. Yeah, 603 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: that's what they're paid to do. 604 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: And if you want to start throwing blame here and 605 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: there on Thompson. 606 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: The big boys are paid to do that job. 607 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 6: The big boys have to come through and do their jobs. Absolutely, absolutely, 608 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 6: we will be back.
