1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Bryce Harper and welcome to The Philly Show. 2 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: Hi, everybody, Welcome to The Philly Show with Ruben Tomorrow, Junior, 3 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 2: Jim Salisbury. I'm todd z a lucky It is Tuesday, 4 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: June eleventh, twenty twenty four. The Phillies got back from 5 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: London on Sunday night. Now they are in Boston ready 6 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: to play the Boston Red Sox the London series. Guys, 7 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 2: I got back on Monday. It was a great time. 8 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: It was a great experience. That Phillies split the series. 9 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: Obviously they went on Saturday night, they lost on Sunday. 10 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: But I'm telling you Rob Thompson actually said it best 11 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: I thought yesterday he says, if I could come back 12 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: here every year and do this, I would do it. 13 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: It was I think it was that enjoyable for every 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: but everybody involved. Yeah, I mean, you know, sure, there 15 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: were some players I think were like, eh, you know, 16 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: off days and you know this and that. But I 17 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: think the vast majority of the players really enjoyed the experience. 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: I think the manager did, the coaches did, I think 19 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: the team officials did, and I know for sure the 20 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: fans did. I can tell you this. The Phillies fans 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: absolutely outnumbered the Mets fans in the stadium and on 22 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: the streets of London. It was absolutely you could not 23 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: go you could not go anywhere in London this weekend 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: without seeing a handful of Phillies fans. 25 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: Walker was it was pretty cool. It was pretty cool. 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 3: Well, I think the Mets home attendance this year is 27 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: down like twenty five percent, So if they're not going 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: to go go to they're not going to go to 29 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: Queens Maybe they're not going to go to London. So 30 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, my takeaway that Phillies fans were amazing. 31 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: You watched the way, you know, they make these pilgrimages 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: every March to clear Water and then when the Eagles 33 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: play abroad, they just you know, light up those trips 34 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: and the Winner Classic with the Flyers when they're in it. 35 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: Phillies Philadelphia fans are amazing. I know it's cliche. They're 36 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: very passionate, but I mean they put their money where 37 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: their mouth is. They go places, they are seen, they 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: are heard, and they have a good time following their teams. 39 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: And it's just even greater when the team is good, 40 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 3: like the Phillies and like the Eagles typically are, and 41 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 3: it was quite the spectacle from afar. 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they had that central meeting location Pasty onc Avenue, 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: that Billy Dive bar really just a short walk from 44 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,119 Speaker 2: the London Eye. A guy that grew up just outside 45 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: of Philly, about an hour away from Philly, guy by 46 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: the name JP Teddy. He he had this big, high 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: paying corporate job with Xerox, quit the job several years 48 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: ago to open up a Philly food truck and then 49 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: that turned into the restaurant. Now he's got three pass 50 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: youk Avenue restaurants. But I actually strolled through that bar 51 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: a few nights ago and it was slam packed with 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: Phillies fans. So that was kind of the place where 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: I feel like they all congregated. But literally though just walking. 54 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: Through the streets, they were everywhere. It was pretty fun. 55 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: What was the unique tell me about a unique story 56 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 4: about your experience there, Todd and your other observations about 57 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: the stadium, about you know, the whole how I mean, 58 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 4: there's obviously a ton of ex Phillies players and ex 59 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: Mets and stuff like that. 60 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 5: Tell me about that whole experience. 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: So the first thing that actually occurred to me when 62 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: I got on this walked onto the field, was as like, 63 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: this field feels really spongy. And that was the first 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: thing the players said too, like I've never played on 65 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: a turf like this. It was very bouncy, very spongy. 66 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: You heard the players talk about a lot. I'm sure 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: you guys saw some of the hops that the balls 68 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: took that jumped out at me. But I think the 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: cool part for a lot of people was just you know, 70 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: seeing the Phillies in London. 71 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: But for the fans in the ballpark, especially. 72 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: Saturday, you had Chase Utley there, Jimmy Rewnd, Shane Victorino, 73 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: Carlos Reeves made it from Panama, Ryan Madson, Matt Stairs, 74 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: Cole Hamil's, you know, the whole gang was there from 75 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: the eight team, and that was pretty cool. 76 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: I got to talk to some of those guys a 77 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: little bit. 78 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: Ryan Howard was telling me a story of coaching his 79 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: daughter's softball team, eight year old softball team, and I 80 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: was telling him about my son in Little league, and 81 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: I thought the coolest thing was is I was telling 82 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: him how my son last year was struggling in te 83 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: ball and he goes, well, literally, Brian Howard goes, here's 84 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: a hitting drill.

And afterwards, of course he said, 135 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: my my first thought in my mind was don't get hurt, 136 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: and wit Mierfield after the game said the same thing. 137 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: I was just hoping he didn't hurt himself. 138 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 5: But I mean, he's quite the know. 139 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: He is a showman. 140 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 4: He had that you know bandana, and he is a showman. 141 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 4: There's no question about it.

I 214 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: think it was like Rob McIlhenny and a bunch of 215 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: the O eight Phillies, the Fanatic and then they had 216 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 2: to kind of mister Missus met off to the side. 217 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: It was you could kind of tell they fell out 218 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: of place. 219 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 5: A little one sided, a little one side. 220 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 3: The Fanatic is Jeopardy and mister Mett is real fortune. 221 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: Repress your luck. 222 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 5: Press of your life. 223 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: Whammy whammy, you know, whammy, no wammyammy, anything else, anything else. 224 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: When you was watching those two games, jump out at you, guys, 225 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 2: it was. 226 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: Good to see Nick and Nick Castianos and Maryfield swinging 227 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: a little bit. Yeah, I thought that was encouraging and 228 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: much needed and maybe important in the big picture, as 229 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 3: you know, with the next couple of months, as they 230 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: look to see what they might do in the outfield 231 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 3: if they need something in the outfields the trade deadline approaches. 232 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 4: One of the things that stuck out to me is that, 233 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 4: you know, the guys in the bullpen really do need 234 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 4: to work pretty consistently, Like guys like Hoffman and Alvarado 235 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 4: actually have to pitch a lot to stay in rhythm, 236 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: and you can. 237 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 5: Tell that, you know, Alvarado was a little out of whack. 238 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 4: It happens, Yeah, but I do think that those guys 239 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 4: have to have you know, constant work because they have 240 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 4: their deliveries a little different, and so they have to 241 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 4: continue to get out there to make sure that they 242 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 4: stay sharp and that you know, that was that was evident. 243 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 5: They're not gonna win every single game. 244 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 4: It was an amazing that they even got back into 245 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 4: that game and had a real. 246 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 5: Good chance of winning. 247 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: Obviously they didn't come up with a big hit at 248 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 4: the end with Castiano's hitting that really freakish double playball. 249 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: But but again, you know, they even when they're supposed 250 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 4: to lose games, they still stay in the games. I mean, 251 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: I don't remember the last time, but they were like 252 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: completely out of a baseball game. And that's an amazing 253 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: you know, that's amazing thing. They always have a chance. 254 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 4: I mean over the last I don't know, over the 255 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 4: last two months, month and a half, have they really 256 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 4: ever been out, like truly out of the game where 257 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: they didn't have a chance to come back and win 258 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: it or win it in some way, shape or form 259 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 4: or be close. 260 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 5: I mean, it's not not that many times, and that's 261 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 5: and that's a very good sign for a baseball club. 262 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ruby, you mentioned that double That was like the 263 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: first time since at least nineteen twelve the game ended 264 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 2: on a two three round out double play. It's never 265 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: happened in over. 266 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: One hundred years. Nick said. 267 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys saw the comments. Nick 268 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: said after the game, he thought about kicking the ball 269 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: to try to like get him out for runner for 270 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 2: runners interference. But if the umpire knows that you're doing 271 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: it to what a double play? You could have called 272 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: the runner and the base runner and the batter out. 273 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: But he was thinking about it. 274 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, if his bat doesn't ball up there, they might 275 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: win that game. Who knows where that ball ends up. 276 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Jim, you mentioned so you brought up 277 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 2: Nick and looking at his numbers and maybe heating up 278 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: a little bit. Last ten games, Nick is batting three hundred, 279 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: four doubles, three home runs, nine to fifty eight ops. 280 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: Now you go back even further, that's sixteen, last sixteen, 281 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: how about last thirty right, So he's hitting two forty 282 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: eight it's not great. Seven doubles, seven home runs, nineteen 283 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 2: RBIs seven ninety seven OPS. That's seven ninety seven OPS 284 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: since May six that thirty game stretch fifty first. 285 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: Out of one hundred and sixty four batters in baseball. 286 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: So he's in the top third in terms of production 287 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: of all qualified hitters since May sixth. 288 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 3: He's moving in the right direction. He's gaining some confidence. 289 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: He's kind of doing what all along we've talked about. 290 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: As we get together here. That track record is good 291 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: and just needs to get his timing. Gune needs to 292 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: get some confidence and eventually he's gonna resemble all his 293 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 3: track record. I think that's what he's seeing. Last sixteen game, 294 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: sixteen games, he has five home runs and four doubles 295 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: on ops. So it's definitely moving in the right direction. 296 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: And you know, I'm sure that you know, it thrills 297 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: the front office. They need his production because they talk 298 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: about it. The outfield production is down, and you don't 299 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 3: know if they're gonna have to address something at the 300 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 3: trade deadline. I think there's other areas they need to 301 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: look at as well, but I don't think they're there 302 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: yet with a plan or a course of action. I 303 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: just think right now they're still in evaluation mode and 304 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: they have to be happy with the way he is 305 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: starting to come around. They really need his production. They 306 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: Doll's production has. 307 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 5: Been good, been great. 308 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: They need it. With Meryfield swung it well. And I 309 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: don't think he forgot to hit. I forgot how to 310 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 3: hit overnight, so it was good to see him get going. 311 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 3: So maybe this this London series will be you know, 312 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: good for those two guys. 313 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: So we'll say, hey, the other thing is and you 314 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 4: start thinking about a Schwarber really hasn't caught on fire 315 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 4: and they don't have trade Turner, and they don't have 316 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: trade Turner, and trade Turner's not you know, he's not 317 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: been part of their club and at some point he's 318 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 4: going to be rolling in. Maybe in the next couple 319 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 4: of weeks they'll get back, get him back. 320 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 5: I mean, think about that. 321 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 4: That's like gaining an MVP in the middle of the 322 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 4: year for a team that's already twenty five games above 323 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 4: five hundred and what nine games up on on the 324 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 4: Braves who have not played well at all lately. I mean, 325 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 4: I think some of the you know, some of the 326 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 4: numbers that you see with the Phillies. I mean, the 327 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 4: Phillies are a really good ball club. You can't take 328 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 4: anything away from that. But when you start looking at 329 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 4: the rest of the league, it's a little embarrassing that there's, 330 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 4: you know, only like four teams that are above five hundred, 331 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 4: and there's only like nine teams at or above five 332 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 4: hundred in all of baseball. Yeah, not even a third 333 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 4: or so or a third right around a third. And 334 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 4: it's been a day or so since I've taken a 335 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 4: deeper look in the standings. But that's a little bit 336 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 4: of an indictment on like the quality of baseball across 337 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 4: the globe here in baseball. But that said, it's fun 338 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 4: to watch this baseball club. The Phillies are just as 339 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 4: complete eighteen as there is. You saw the Dodgers beat 340 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: up on the Yankees a little bit the weekend. 341 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 5: Yankees are not invincible. Dodgers are still a really good club. 342 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 4: And so it's going to be interesting as we move 343 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 4: forward what other teams are good at like those mediocre teams, 344 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 4: who the heck is gonna step forward? I mean, what 345 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 4: other teams out there other than the Baltimore Orioles, the 346 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 4: New York Yankees, the Philadelphia Phillies at the LA Dodgers 347 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 4: besides those teams and Brewers are pretty good club too. 348 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 4: But but beyond that, who's gonna step forward and like 349 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 4: be a real team? 350 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 5: Like he's going to be a real, true contender, Ruben. 351 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: So it's it's June eleventh. So in twenty eleven, when 352 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: you guys are clearly the best team in baseball, what 353 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: are the trade talks like right now? 354 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 3: Five? 355 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: What are we five weeks away from the trade deadline? 356 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: Is it just kind of like you're kicking the tires 357 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 2: with guys? Are you exchanging names at this point saying Hey, 358 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 2: at some point you want to do it? Like what 359 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 2: because I'm trying to think the Phillies, you're already seeing 360 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: stuff like they're talking outfield or you know, here are 361 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 2: some names they could be looking for, and you know, 362 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 2: you get you check on everybody and you talk about everybody, 363 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: I assume, But what are the negotiations like right now? 364 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: You know from what you. 365 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 4: Remember, you know, it's it's so different now than it 366 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 4: was then, just because the whole dynamic of what's going 367 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 4: on with the wild card, there's opportunities and there's so 368 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 4: much parody right now that I don't think teams really 369 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 4: know whether they're in or out. And I think it 370 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 4: was somebody wrote an article Rosenthal just recently was on 371 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 4: either a podcast or or something else, just talking about 372 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 4: how many teams like don't want to really go for 373 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 4: are like afraid to go. Well, now would be the 374 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 4: time for any team that's close to like make a move. 375 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 4: And if I'm a team that really feels like I 376 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 4: really want to win, then I then I try. 377 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 5: To poke around and push because you just never know. 378 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 5: I mean, look at what happened with the Diamondbacks last year. 379 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 5: The Diamondocks almost won the World Series. 380 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 7: I know, they got beat up by Texas, but they 381 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 7: went to the World Series and they had a chance 382 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 7: to win it. And I think if you're if you're 383 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 7: a team that is close and you have ingredients, why 384 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 7: not get that one or two other ingredients to give 385 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 7: yourself a push to get over the top when there's such. 386 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 4: Mediocrity out there. I mean, that's sort of my feeling. Again, 387 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 4: you don't want to necessarily mortgage the future, but the 388 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 4: future is just that is. You know, the a lot 389 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 4: of question marks and guys that are that are in 390 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: the minor leagues man and prospects for prospects, and I know, 391 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 4: I know they're highly coveted nowadays, but they don't always 392 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 4: make it to the big leagues and they don't always 393 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 4: make an impact. 394 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 5: You know, I know that as well as anybody. 395 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 3: Your point about the wild card is so right on 396 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: that there's so many teams right in it. I was 397 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: looking at the standings today, it is like you can 398 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: like eliminate three teams in each league saying, you know, 399 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: they don't have a shot at the everybody's talking about 400 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 3: what a bad start Houston had, and you know it's 401 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 3: not a Houston like start, but they're well within striking 402 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 3: distance of with with more than a half season ago, 403 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 3: well within striking distance of a wildcard it's amazing how 404 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 3: many teams are. I mean, the match is as bad 405 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 3: as they've played, and there you can't rule them out 406 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 3: of the wildcard. I think they're only like three games 407 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 3: out of the last spots. It's just and that's probably 408 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 3: going to impact what, like you said, what teams hold 409 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: on to, what teams shop, what teams sala It's it's 410 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: gonna be uh, very interesting because you know, I remember 411 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 3: what my the Marlins won two World Series as a 412 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 3: wildcard team. I think there's another one in there. You 413 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: mentioned the Diamondbacks almost doing it. The Phillies went to 414 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 3: the World Series as a wildcard team. So it's wide open. 415 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 5: And Reds is a perfect example. Everybody thought the Reds 416 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 5: after a decent start, they were kind of hanging in there, and. 417 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 4: They had had some injuries and lost some play and yeah, 418 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 4: and they were they started off okay, and then they 419 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: went in the tank for a while, and then they 420 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 4: reeled off like seven or eight and wins in a row, 421 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden they're in second place, boomed 422 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 4: and back in it. 423 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 5: I mean, so it's I mean, it's wide open. I 424 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 5: guess for fans, the fact that all these teams are 425 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 5: in it. I think that's a good thing. 426 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 4: I don't think it's a great thing that there aren't 427 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 4: that many great teams. And that's that is a little 428 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 4: bit of a concern because you have so few teams 429 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: that are actually winning teams. When you have only less 430 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: than the third of the teams being winning teams, that 431 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 4: doesn't bode well in you know, the whole scheme of 432 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: thing of things. 433 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 2: So like if if you're Dave Dombrowski right now, you're 434 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: just kind of you're just gathering as much information on 435 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: all these guys, covering as much basis as you can. 436 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 2: I assume, right he's he's calling around. Sam Fuld is 437 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: calling around trying to figure out what you if you trade, 438 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: what you might trade, what you're thinking in terms of value. 439 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure everybody wants Aiden Miller and Andrew Paynter. 440 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 2: I mean, right, the asks now are insane generally speaking, right. 441 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, very very high. 442 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 4: Usually they're very high. They're all you know, they're all 443 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 4: locked in on the top ten prospects. 444 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 5: For each organization. If you're gonna, you know, be a buyer. 445 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 5: I think. 446 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 4: I think it's an assessment period still, because I'm not 447 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 4: sure if the Phillies know exactly and how many moves 448 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 4: they can make, how many moves can they make? 449 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 5: And what is I think it's they have the. 450 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 4: You know, they can be sort of patient because one 451 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 4: they've got players coming back too. 452 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 5: You know, Marsh's coming back. We didn't even mention him. 453 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 4: He's coming back sometime soon. I think he's going to 454 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: start a rehab here shortly. Yeah, you got trade, You're 455 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: probably gonna start something soon. 456 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 5: You know, you're starting to. 457 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 4: Get some people back, and I thin you can sort 458 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 4: of figure out, Okay, do I need an outfielder, do 459 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 4: I need a picture? 460 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 5: Do I need some more bullpen help? What is it 461 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 5: that I need? 462 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 4: And I can sort of sit back and wait until 463 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 4: and you know, obviously work and be prepared for especially 464 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 4: especially targeting the teams that are definitely going to be 465 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 4: out of it, the White Sox and the A's and 466 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 4: you know those teams are definitely done. 467 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 5: They're terrible, A's not quite so terrible. 468 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 4: But you know there's other teams you know, in that 469 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 4: that are definitely out of it. Uh, the Rockies, I 470 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 4: don't know if they have what you would want from 471 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 4: that organization, but there's teams that are definitely out of it, 472 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 4: and you start targeting them and say, okay, that piece 473 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 4: work does that piece work? And then you start sort 474 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 4: of assessing and narrowing things down as. 475 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 5: The picture, uh start and starts to broaden a little bit. 476 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: Would you would you be looking for some organizams high end, 477 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 3: upper end organizational catching depth. I mean, I know you 478 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 3: have some a triple A. You got a couple of 479 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 3: guys have caught in the big leagues, Garcia and Goodoy. 480 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 3: You got Marshawan who everybody likes Marshawan, but he's had 481 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: his injury woes. 482 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 5: He's healthy, wow. 483 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 3: And and you have stubs here in the big leagues. 484 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 3: And I only mentioned it because JT is so important, 485 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: He's indispensable. Yet he's been banged up a lot this year. 486 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: I mean, they pinch ran for him yesterday, which was. 487 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 5: That was interesting that. I thought that that was a 488 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 5: very interesting thing. 489 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 4: Now, j T one of the best base runners they have, 490 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 4: and for them to pinch run for him in that situation, 491 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 4: he's obviously something's going on there that is not quite right. 492 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 5: I don't know what body part or what's ailing. 493 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 4: It's got to be a lower body part that's probably 494 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 4: ailing him some way, shape or form. But that was 495 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 4: sort of telling to me that you know, this guy's 496 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 4: not one hundred percent and it will be curious. You're 497 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 4: right about Jim. 498 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: It looked like they were protecting him a little bit. 499 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: No, well, that's one of the Rob said, that's why 500 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 2: they've made put marsh On on the made him the 501 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: twenty seventh man for the for the London series because 502 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: he has been banged up and they I think they've 503 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: kind of wanted to protect me. But he did not 504 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: mention anything specifically about uh, you know, leg or anything 505 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 2: like that. 506 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, it jumps out. 507 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: So but Jim, are you saying, like, talk about catching depth? 508 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 3: Are you saying I mean, look, you got Stubbs and 509 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 3: you've got Marshawan, right, Marshawan has had trouble staying healthy. 510 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: I think one of the guys is on the on 511 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 3: the il at Triple A. I believe I'm just one 512 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 3: and I know it's probably hard to get you know, 513 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 3: a guy who can you know, you've got a guy 514 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: who can step in and Stubs and Marshan. I'm just wondering, yeah, 515 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 3: just about the overall state of it, just because JT 516 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 3: is so important and your your third stringer, Marshawn has 517 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 3: had trouble staying healthy. 518 00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: That would make a lot of sense. 519 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, sure does, there's no question about it. 520 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 4: I mean you want to have I mean, you can't 521 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 4: cover every base pun intended. 522 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: But that said, that. 523 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 4: Is one of the biggest That's a big one because 524 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 4: if they were to lose JT for a long, longer 525 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 4: period of time, that's a significant, significant drop off. 526 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 5: I like Marshaan. I like the way he calls the game. 527 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 4: I like that, But you're right, he's never been to 528 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: be able to stay on the field long enough to 529 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 4: really get a good assessment of the guy. 530 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 3: I mean, they had that guy, Cam Gallagher for a while. 531 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 3: I think it's spring training. He's got big league time, 532 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: but I think he retired. And you hope it's nothing. 533 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 3: I mean, you hope it never It's never an issue 534 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: that you even have to discuss because you know, in 535 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 3: terms of personality, seem to have enough guys. But if 536 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 3: you lose something, it's a big you know, even if 537 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 3: it's in your depth, I think it's a it's a 538 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: it's an issue for because of where this team wants 539 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 3: to go and the stakes and where it. 540 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: Can be sure that would be a bad one. 541 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: You mentioned guys coming back, Trey Turner and Rob Thompson 542 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 2: think that he could be back within the week. He's 543 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: going to step up his sprinting beginning tomorrow in Boston. 544 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: He does not sound like he's going to go on 545 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: a rehab assignment. It sounds like it's he's just going. 546 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: To get activated. 547 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 2: He he says he knows enough about his swing, has 548 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: enough drills, does enough drills. He hits off the Jek machine, 549 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: which he says is harder than even facing live pitching 550 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 2: because the way the ball comes out and you know 551 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 2: all that stuff. And then marsh is either going to 552 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 2: continue his rehab work in reading or maybe join the 553 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 2: team in Boston. So both of those guys are getting close. 554 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: Sounds like again. 555 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 4: They're they're being really cautious with them and they and 556 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 4: they have the ability to do that. I mean, it 557 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 4: gives other guys opportunities to play, like a with Merrifield, 558 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 4: to try to get swing together, which is getting better. 559 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 5: It gives other people, you know, dolls playing well. 560 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 4: Maybe it gets other people opportunities to play a little 561 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 4: bit and and move from there. 562 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 5: How do we know what we have an update on 563 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 5: Cody any chance. 564 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: No, I did not get it. 565 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 2: I did not get an update on Cody's back. 566 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: What would either one of you experiment with Sosa in 567 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 3: the in left field because he's swung such a such. 568 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 2: A good bat, that would be interesting. And now I 569 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: think it was not. It wasn't this spring, but it 570 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 2: was the spring before. Yeah, he was getting some looks 571 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 2: in center field and spring training, Yeah, and then it 572 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: never happened during the season. Rob said again this weekend 573 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: that that's something that he will consider to keep his 574 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: bat in the lineup, to keep his bat going, and 575 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 2: of course Sosa naturally said, yes, I will. 576 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: Be more than happy to play left field. I just 577 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: want to. 578 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 2: I just I just want to be in the lineup. 579 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that's a no brainer for sure. 580 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: But that's it that that would be very interesting. He could, 581 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 2: I would got I gotta think he could play out 582 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: there at least. 583 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 4: Well, let me just say this, I always felt like 584 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 4: left field was the most difficult position in the outfield. 585 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 4: Center field you have a much better picture, the ball 586 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 4: doesn't do as many things. You obviously have to have, 587 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 4: you know, more speed in center field to be able 588 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 4: to cover more ground, But as far as reading the 589 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 4: ball off the bat, I think left field is one 590 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 4: of the tougher ones. 591 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 5: That said, our left field in Citizens Bank. 592 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 4: Park is is not a big one and it's not 593 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 4: a whole ton of ground to cover. 594 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 5: And I do think that he's athletic enough. 595 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 4: As I watch him also field pop ups and fly balls, 596 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 4: he's outstanding at tracking them. He's very good at it, 597 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 4: and that means something because there are guys who do 598 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 4: not handle pop ups very well, don't like the ball 599 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 4: in the air. I know a lot of infielders who 600 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 4: don't have the depth perception to be able to handle that. 601 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 4: But it's pretty clear that Edmundo has a has a 602 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 4: pretty good read on balls in the air, and that 603 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 4: mean something. 604 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 2: What would you do, Jim move, You'd throw. 605 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 3: It up there righty five games over five hundred. Yeah, 606 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 3: he's he's light on his feet, he's athletic, he's got hands, 607 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: he's got baseball. Since he I'm sure wants to give 608 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 3: it a look, I'm telling him the entire next home 609 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 3: stand be here at two o'clock and be on the 610 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 3: field at two o'clock. From two to three, and you're 611 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 3: gonna have out field one on one, and we're gonna 612 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 3: make a decision to maybe trot you out there somenight 613 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 3: twenty five games over five hundred. I'm experimenting. It's not 614 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 3: like he's it's not like he's a tank. You're gonna 615 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 3: stick a left field who can't move. I think he could, 616 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 3: he could. I think he with a couple of days work, 617 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 3: he could go out there and be passable. 618 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 7: And listen, think about the work that that Paco's done 619 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 7: with with Castillanos. 620 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 5: I mean, he's made Castianos a. 621 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 4: Very adequate right field or any and two Castianos's credit. 622 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: He goes out there and works at it all the time. 623 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 4: I've watched it on the road and washed it at home. 624 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 4: He works at it, and Paco works with him, and 625 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 4: he is an excellent way about him. And certain drills 626 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 4: to to uh to prepare, And. 627 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you, Jimmy, why not? Why'd I 628 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 5: Heck not. 629 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 3: Let's take a homestand and put him out there every 630 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 3: afternoon and see what he looks like at two o'clock, 631 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 3: and before you make any decisions about it, you know, 632 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: put him on the lineup card in that position. But 633 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 3: I think it's worth being open, open, minded about just 634 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: because uh, he brings a lot of energy in a 635 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 3: lot he brings some you know.
