WEBVTT - The British Invasion

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is Bryce Harper and welcome to The Philly Show.

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Hi, everybody, Welcome to The Philly Show with Ruben Tomorrow, Junior,

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Jim Salisbury. I'm todd z a lucky It is Tuesday,

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>June eleventh, twenty twenty four. The Phillies got back from

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 2>London on Sunday night. Now they are in Boston ready

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 2>to play the Boston Red Sox the London series. Guys,

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I got back on Monday. It was a great time.

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 2>It was a great experience. That Phillies split the series.

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Obviously they went on Saturday night, they lost on Sunday.

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>But I'm telling you Rob Thompson actually said it best

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought yesterday he says, if I could come back

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 2>here every year and do this, I would do it.

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>It was I think it was that enjoyable for every

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>but everybody involved. Yeah, I mean, you know, sure, there

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 2>were some players I think were like, eh, you know,

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>off days and you know this and that. But I

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>think the vast majority of the players really enjoyed the experience.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I think the manager did, the coaches did, I think

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 2>the team officials did, and I know for sure the

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>fans did. I can tell you this. The Phillies fans

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>absolutely outnumbered the Mets fans in the stadium and on

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>the streets of London. It was absolutely you could not

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>go you could not go anywhere in London this weekend

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 2>without seeing a handful of Phillies fans.

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Walker was it was pretty cool. It was pretty cool.

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think the Mets home attendance this year is

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 3>down like twenty five percent, So if they're not going

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>to go go to they're not going to go to

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Queens Maybe they're not going to go to London. So

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, yeah, my takeaway that Phillies fans were amazing.

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>You watched the way, you know, they make these pilgrimages

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>every March to clear Water and then when the Eagles

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 3>play abroad, they just you know, light up those trips

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 3>and the Winner Classic with the Flyers when they're in it.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Phillies Philadelphia fans are amazing. I know it's cliche. They're

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 3>very passionate, but I mean they put their money where

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 3>their mouth is. They go places, they are seen, they

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 3>are heard, and they have a good time following their teams.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 3>And it's just even greater when the team is good,

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 3>like the Phillies and like the Eagles typically are, and

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 3>it was quite the spectacle from afar.

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they had that central meeting location Pasty onc Avenue,

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that Billy Dive bar really just a short walk from

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.119
<v Speaker 2>the London Eye. A guy that grew up just outside

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>of Philly, about an hour away from Philly, guy by

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>the name JP Teddy. He he had this big, high

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>paying corporate job with Xerox, quit the job several years

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>ago to open up a Philly food truck and then

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>that turned into the restaurant. Now he's got three pass

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 2>youk Avenue restaurants. But I actually strolled through that bar

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a few nights ago and it was slam packed with

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Phillies fans. So that was kind of the place where

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they all congregated. But literally though just walking.

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Through the streets, they were everywhere. It was pretty fun.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 4>What was the unique tell me about a unique story

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 4>about your experience there, Todd and your other observations about

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 4>the stadium, about you know, the whole how I mean,

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 4>there's obviously a ton of ex Phillies players and ex

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Mets and stuff like that.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 5>Tell me about that whole experience.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>So the first thing that actually occurred to me when

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I got on this walked onto the field, was as like,

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>this field feels really spongy. And that was the first

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>thing the players said too, like I've never played on

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a turf like this. It was very bouncy, very spongy.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>You heard the players talk about a lot. I'm sure

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 2>you guys saw some of the hops that the balls

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>took that jumped out at me. But I think the

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>cool part for a lot of people was just you know,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>seeing the Phillies in London.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>But for the fans in the ballpark, especially.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Saturday, you had Chase Utley there, Jimmy Rewnd, Shane Victorino,

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Carlos Reeves made it from Panama, Ryan Madson, Matt Stairs,

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Cole Hamil's, you know, the whole gang was there from

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the eight team, and that was pretty cool.

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I got to talk to some of those guys a

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit.

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Howard was telling me a story of coaching his

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 2>daughter's softball team, eight year old softball team, and I

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>was telling him about my son in Little league, and

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought the coolest thing was is I was telling

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>him how my son last year was struggling in te

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>ball and he goes, well, literally, Brian Howard goes, here's

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a hitting drill. So he actually gave me a hitting

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 2>drill to use with my son and my daughter going forward.

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I was, you know, it was just.

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.359
<v Speaker 2>Cool to see those guys, and it also kind of,

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I think, just kind of shows you what kind of

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 2>guys they they are.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, we had Chase on the show.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>A couple of weeks ago, and Ryan Howard's the same

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>type of quality guy. Shane Victorino, it's the same type

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 2>of quality guy. Carlos Rees, you know, I think we

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 2>talked about him a couple of weeks ago and how

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 2>he's one of the funniest guys maybe on THATA team,

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>just a just a great sense of humors.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>So but any.

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Of the lads from the eight team, you know, come

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 3>up to you and start clamoring to be on the

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Philly Show.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>No, but I know no that they did not.

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 2>But I did say I did talk to Chase and

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>he said he did listen and he did enjoy it.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>And I said, well, you should come back sometimes he

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 2>said I will.

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 4>So I guarantee, I guarantee those guys will come on

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 4>if we ask him. And at some point we'll last

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 4>a few of those guys and see if they can

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 4>join us.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that would be fun.

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 5>They really are you You hit the nail on the head.

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 5>There's some good guys there.

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 4>And I think years from now we're going to say

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 4>the same thing about this team. I'm not sure if

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 4>they would win the World Series, and I think that

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 4>they have the talent to do it. Whether they get

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 4>lucky enough to do it at the right time, that's

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 4>another thing entirely. But I will you know, I'll be

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.239
<v Speaker 4>the first to admit that I think that this team

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 4>has had the same sort of personality as that team

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 4>and totally and they're pretty good quality guys generally.

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you Todd, you mentioned the spongy turf.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and.

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 3>It did look spongy on TV. Yeah, that's what makes

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 3>it When Harper did that Nie slide, Oh yeahcause just

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 3>like stick like a like a like a sand wedge

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 3>on a wet green.

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you looked at the replay, and I'm sure

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>you guys have seen the replay, the funniest part of that,

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>besides the reaction from his teammates, was Rob Thompson was

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 2>like literally standing in front of him and he was

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 2>it was totally stonefaced. He did not even it was

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>like he was a statue. He was like, you know what,

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, totally expressionless. And afterwards, of course he said,

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>my my first thought in my mind was don't get hurt,

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 2>and wit Mierfield after the game said the same thing.

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I was just hoping he didn't hurt himself.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 5>But I mean, he's quite the know.

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 3>He is a showman.

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 4>He had that you know bandana, and he is a showman.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 4>There's no question about it. And I was talking on

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 4>I was talking on, uh, you know, we had this

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 4>big sort of block party type situation on Friday at

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 4>NBC Sports Philadelphia at Xfinity Live, and they asked.

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 5>Me, you know who's gonna step up?

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 4>You know during this, you know, during the the London series,

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 4>is that it's gonna.

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 5>Be one guy who steps up.

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 4>And sure enough, double Homer, I mean and single and

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 4>almost hits for the cycle and then he does the slide.

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, exactly, this is exactly he is a He

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 4>is as much a red.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 5>Light player as there is. I think about red light players.

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 4>I think about Lenny Dykstram, I think about Jimmy Rollins,

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>and I think about Chase Utley also obviously, but but Bryce.

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 5>Harper is right at the top of that list as well.

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 5>It's amazing.

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 3>I think he's the Freddie Mercury of baseball, I really do.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 3>The Diamond is his stage. He's an electric performer. He's

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 3>immensely talented, you know, with all the garb and the

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>headband and the decorated bat and the shoes. You know,

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 3>he's got the look and he's got the star power,

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 3>and he's the showman. And him and Freddy Mercury they

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 3>got it all, you know, and they're both really good

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 3>at what they do and everybody wants to watch them.

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Freddy Mercury won the mascot race on Saturday night.

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Did you see that?

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's funny about that is so before the game, uh,

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>they were all sitting there and they were kind of

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 2>putting their helmets and I was like, oh, I was like,

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I was, I love you know, Queen. Who doesn't love

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Queen and Freddy Mercury, So I was. I tried to

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 2>take a picture and.

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 6>I got yelled at by Freddy mrcury. What Freddy Mercury

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 6>yelled at me? He goes, no, no, no, Phne. It

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 6>was I'm like, okay, all right, we're sorry.

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I guess they wanted it to be a

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>surprise for later in the game or something, so I,

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I I was like, that's that's fine, But

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>did you lay down.

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.079
<v Speaker 3>The law with Mercury and tell him I'm todds to

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 3>lock him doing to hell? I wanted to. I did not.

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I very sheepishly walked away.

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.559
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, that it's not a great feeling

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>when you get yelled at by a by a mascot.

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 4>Hey, speaking of mascots, how about all the stuff that

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 4>the Philly Fanatic was doing, man, and all the Instagram.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Stuff and all the stuff that came out on social media.

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 5>It was so cool. It was the Philly Fanatic. Is

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 5>there any argument that the Philly.

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Fanatic is the greatest mascot of all time in any sport?

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 4>And it was fun to even listen to some of

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 4>the national broadcasters talk about how much they enjoy them,

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 4>even from the opposing teens.

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 5>It's it's it's just.

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 4>So cool and uh and the fact that he was

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 4>there and doing his thing and he was the guard

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 4>he was.

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he was doing so much different stuff. It

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 5>was just really cool to watch.

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, br since that was saying that he was being

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 2>a tour guide for Kyle Schwarbur and he said they were.

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.439
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of cool because they were kind of incognito,

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, walking through Letting, he said, until we showed

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>up at Buckingham Palace and the Fanatic happened to be

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>there at the same time, and then our cover got blown.

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Did mister Mett get any airtime at all? Did he

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 3>get any play?

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, mister and Missus Mett were there, Yeah, but

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.479
<v Speaker 4>I mean he talked about getting overshadowed.

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 5>Please, yeah, come on.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 1>They had they had them.

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they had a seventh inning stretch, uh, Sunday. I

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.199
<v Speaker 2>think it was like Rob McIlhenny and a bunch of

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the O eight Phillies, the Fanatic and then they had

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.079
<v Speaker 2>to kind of mister Missus met off to the side.

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It was you could kind of tell they fell out

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 1>of place.

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 5>A little one sided, a little one side.

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 3>The Fanatic is Jeopardy and mister Mett is real fortune.

0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Repress your luck.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 5>Press of your life.

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Whammy whammy, you know, whammy, no wammyammy, anything else, anything else.

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 2>When you was watching those two games, jump out at you, guys,

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:11.319
<v Speaker 2>it was.

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Good to see Nick and Nick Castianos and Maryfield swinging

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. Yeah, I thought that was encouraging and

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 3>much needed and maybe important in the big picture, as

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, with the next couple of months, as they

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 3>look to see what they might do in the outfield

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 3>if they need something in the outfields the trade deadline approaches.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 4>One of the things that stuck out to me is that,

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, the guys in the bullpen really do need

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 4>to work pretty consistently, Like guys like Hoffman and Alvarado

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 4>actually have to pitch a lot to stay in rhythm,

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 4>and you can.

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 5>Tell that, you know, Alvarado was a little out of whack.

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 4>It happens, Yeah, but I do think that those guys

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 4>have to have you know, constant work because they have

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.599
<v Speaker 4>their deliveries a little different, and so they have to

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.680
<v Speaker 4>continue to get out there to make sure that they

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 4>stay sharp and that you know, that was that was evident.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 5>They're not gonna win every single game.

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 4>It was an amazing that they even got back into

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 4>that game and had a real.

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Good chance of winning.

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Obviously they didn't come up with a big hit at

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 4>the end with Castiano's hitting that really freakish double playball.

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 4>But but again, you know, they even when they're supposed

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 4>to lose games, they still stay in the games. I mean,

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember the last time, but they were like

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 4>completely out of a baseball game. And that's an amazing

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, that's amazing thing. They always have a chance.

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean over the last I don't know, over the

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.079
<v Speaker 4>last two months, month and a half, have they really

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 4>ever been out, like truly out of the game where

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 4>they didn't have a chance to come back and win

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 4>it or win it in some way, shape or form

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 4>or be close.

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's not not that many times, and that's

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 5>and that's a very good sign for a baseball club.

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Ruby, you mentioned that double That was like the

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 2>first time since at least nineteen twelve the game ended

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.959
<v Speaker 2>on a two three round out double play. It's never

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>happened in over.

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>One hundred years. Nick said.

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you guys saw the comments. Nick

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>said after the game, he thought about kicking the ball

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 2>to try to like get him out for runner for

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 2>runners interference. But if the umpire knows that you're doing

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 2>it to what a double play? You could have called

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 2>the runner and the base runner and the batter out.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 2>But he was thinking about it.

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if his bat doesn't ball up there, they might

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 3>win that game. Who knows where that ball ends up.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, Jim, you mentioned so you brought up

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Nick and looking at his numbers and maybe heating up

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Last ten games, Nick is batting three hundred,

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>four doubles, three home runs, nine to fifty eight ops.

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Now you go back even further, that's sixteen, last sixteen,

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>how about last thirty right, So he's hitting two forty

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 2>eight it's not great. Seven doubles, seven home runs, nineteen

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 2>RBIs seven ninety seven OPS. That's seven ninety seven OPS

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 2>since May six that thirty game stretch fifty first.

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Out of one hundred and sixty four batters in baseball.

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>So he's in the top third in terms of production

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 2>of all qualified hitters since May sixth.

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 3>He's moving in the right direction. He's gaining some confidence.

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 3>He's kind of doing what all along we've talked about.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 3>As we get together here. That track record is good

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 3>and just needs to get his timing. Gune needs to

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 3>get some confidence and eventually he's gonna resemble all his

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 3>track record. I think that's what he's seeing. Last sixteen game,

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 3>sixteen games, he has five home runs and four doubles

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 3>on ops. So it's definitely moving in the right direction.

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I'm sure that you know, it thrills

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 3>the front office. They need his production because they talk

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 3>about it. The outfield production is down, and you don't

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 3>know if they're gonna have to address something at the

0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.040
<v Speaker 3>trade deadline. I think there's other areas they need to

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 3>look at as well, but I don't think they're there

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 3>yet with a plan or a course of action. I

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 3>just think right now they're still in evaluation mode and

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 3>they have to be happy with the way he is

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 3>starting to come around. They really need his production. They

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Doll's production has.

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 5>Been good, been great.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 3>They need it. With Meryfield swung it well. And I

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 3>don't think he forgot to hit. I forgot how to

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 3>hit overnight, so it was good to see him get going.

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 3>So maybe this this London series will be you know,

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 3>good for those two guys.

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 4>So we'll say, hey, the other thing is and you

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 4>start thinking about a Schwarber really hasn't caught on fire

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 4>and they don't have trade Turner, and they don't have

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 4>trade Turner, and trade Turner's not you know, he's not

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 4>been part of their club and at some point he's

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 4>going to be rolling in. Maybe in the next couple

0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 4>of weeks they'll get back, get him back.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean, think about that.

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 4>That's like gaining an MVP in the middle of the

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.600
<v Speaker 4>year for a team that's already twenty five games above

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 4>five hundred and what nine games up on on the

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Braves who have not played well at all lately. I mean,

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 4>I think some of the you know, some of the

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 4>numbers that you see with the Phillies. I mean, the

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 4>Phillies are a really good ball club. You can't take

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 4>anything away from that. But when you start looking at

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 4>the rest of the league, it's a little embarrassing that there's,

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, only like four teams that are above five hundred,

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 4>and there's only like nine teams at or above five

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 4>hundred in all of baseball. Yeah, not even a third

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 4>or so or a third right around a third. And

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 4>it's been a day or so since I've taken a

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 4>deeper look in the standings. But that's a little bit

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 4>of an indictment on like the quality of baseball across

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 4>the globe here in baseball. But that said, it's fun

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 4>to watch this baseball club. The Phillies are just as

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 4>complete eighteen as there is. You saw the Dodgers beat

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 4>up on the Yankees a little bit the weekend.

0:16:55.320 --> 0:17:00.040
<v Speaker 5>Yankees are not invincible. Dodgers are still a really good club.

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 4>And so it's going to be interesting as we move

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.400
<v Speaker 4>forward what other teams are good at like those mediocre teams,

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 4>who the heck is gonna step forward? I mean, what

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 4>other teams out there other than the Baltimore Orioles, the

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 4>New York Yankees, the Philadelphia Phillies at the LA Dodgers

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.160
<v Speaker 4>besides those teams and Brewers are pretty good club too.

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 4>But but beyond that, who's gonna step forward and like

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:29.440
<v Speaker 4>be a real team?

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 5>Like he's going to be a real, true contender, Ruben.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's June eleventh. So in twenty eleven, when

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you guys are clearly the best team in baseball, what

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 2>are the trade talks like right now?

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 3>Five?

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 2>What are we five weeks away from the trade deadline?

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Is it just kind of like you're kicking the tires

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.360
<v Speaker 2>with guys? Are you exchanging names at this point saying Hey,

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 2>at some point you want to do it? Like what

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>because I'm trying to think the Phillies, you're already seeing

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 2>stuff like they're talking outfield or you know, here are

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.680
<v Speaker 2>some names they could be looking for, and you know,

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 2>you get you check on everybody and you talk about everybody,

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I assume, But what are the negotiations like right now?

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:12.920
<v Speaker 1>You know from what you.

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 4>Remember, you know, it's it's so different now than it

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 4>was then, just because the whole dynamic of what's going

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 4>on with the wild card, there's opportunities and there's so

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 4>much parody right now that I don't think teams really

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 4>know whether they're in or out. And I think it

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 4>was somebody wrote an article Rosenthal just recently was on

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:39.439
<v Speaker 4>either a podcast or or something else, just talking about

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 4>how many teams like don't want to really go for

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 4>are like afraid to go. Well, now would be the

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.880
<v Speaker 4>time for any team that's close to like make a move.

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 4>And if I'm a team that really feels like I

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.360
<v Speaker 4>really want to win, then I then I try.

0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 5>To poke around and push because you just never know.

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, look at what happened with the Diamondbacks last year.

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 5>The Diamondocks almost won the World Series.

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 7>I know, they got beat up by Texas, but they

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 7>went to the World Series and they had a chance

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 7>to win it. And I think if you're if you're

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 7>a team that is close and you have ingredients, why

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 7>not get that one or two other ingredients to give

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.440
<v Speaker 7>yourself a push to get over the top when there's such.

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 4>Mediocrity out there. I mean, that's sort of my feeling. Again,

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 4>you don't want to necessarily mortgage the future, but the

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:33.120
<v Speaker 4>future is just that is. You know, the a lot

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.679
<v Speaker 4>of question marks and guys that are that are in

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 4>the minor leagues man and prospects for prospects, and I know,

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 4>I know they're highly coveted nowadays, but they don't always

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.400
<v Speaker 4>make it to the big leagues and they don't always

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 4>make an impact.

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:50.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, I know that as well as anybody.

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Your point about the wild card is so right on

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 3>that there's so many teams right in it. I was

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 3>looking at the standings today, it is like you can

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 3>like eliminate three teams in each league saying, you know,

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 3>they don't have a shot at the everybody's talking about

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 3>what a bad start Houston had, and you know it's

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.400
<v Speaker 3>not a Houston like start, but they're well within striking

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 3>distance of with with more than a half season ago,

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 3>well within striking distance of a wildcard it's amazing how

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 3>many teams are. I mean, the match is as bad

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 3>as they've played, and there you can't rule them out

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 3>of the wildcard. I think they're only like three games

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 3>out of the last spots. It's just and that's probably

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 3>going to impact what, like you said, what teams hold

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 3>on to, what teams shop, what teams sala It's it's

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna be uh, very interesting because you know, I remember

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 3>what my the Marlins won two World Series as a

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 3>wildcard team. I think there's another one in there. You

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 3>mentioned the Diamondbacks almost doing it. The Phillies went to

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 3>the World Series as a wildcard team. So it's wide open.

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.919
<v Speaker 5>And Reds is a perfect example. Everybody thought the Reds

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.160
<v Speaker 5>after a decent start, they were kind of hanging in there, and.

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:01.360
<v Speaker 4>They had had some injuries and lost some play and yeah,

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 4>and they were they started off okay, and then they

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 4>went in the tank for a while, and then they

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.159
<v Speaker 4>reeled off like seven or eight and wins in a row,

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 4>and all of a sudden they're in second place, boomed

0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 4>and back in it.

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, so it's I mean, it's wide open. I

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 5>guess for fans, the fact that all these teams are

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 5>in it. I think that's a good thing.

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's a great thing that there aren't

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 4>that many great teams. And that's that is a little

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 4>bit of a concern because you have so few teams

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 4>that are actually winning teams. When you have only less

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 4>than the third of the teams being winning teams, that

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.159
<v Speaker 4>doesn't bode well in you know, the whole scheme of

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 4>thing of things.

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 2>So like if if you're Dave Dombrowski right now, you're

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 2>just kind of you're just gathering as much information on

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 2>all these guys, covering as much basis as you can.

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I assume, right he's he's calling around. Sam Fuld is

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>calling around trying to figure out what you if you trade,

0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 2>what you might trade, what you're thinking in terms of value.

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm sure everybody wants Aiden Miller and Andrew Paynter.

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, right, the asks now are insane generally speaking, right.

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, very very high.

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:14.360
<v Speaker 4>Usually they're very high. They're all you know, they're all

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.199
<v Speaker 4>locked in on the top ten prospects.

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 5>For each organization. If you're gonna, you know, be a buyer.

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 5>I think.

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 4>I think it's an assessment period still, because I'm not

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 4>sure if the Phillies know exactly and how many moves

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 4>they can make, how many moves can they make?

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.880
<v Speaker 5>And what is I think it's they have the.

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, they can be sort of patient because one

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 4>they've got players coming back too.

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 5>You know, Marsh's coming back. We didn't even mention him.

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 4>He's coming back sometime soon. I think he's going to

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 4>start a rehab here shortly. Yeah, you got trade, You're

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 4>probably gonna start something soon.

0:22:57.880 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 5>You know, you're starting to.

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 4>Get some people back, and I thin you can sort

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.879
<v Speaker 4>of figure out, Okay, do I need an outfielder, do

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 4>I need a picture?

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.520
<v Speaker 5>Do I need some more bullpen help? What is it

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 5>that I need?

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 4>And I can sort of sit back and wait until

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 4>and you know, obviously work and be prepared for especially

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 4>especially targeting the teams that are definitely going to be

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:23.400
<v Speaker 4>out of it, the White Sox and the A's and

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 4>you know those teams are definitely done.

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 5>They're terrible, A's not quite so terrible.

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:32.359
<v Speaker 4>But you know there's other teams you know, in that

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 4>that are definitely out of it. Uh, the Rockies, I

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 4>don't know if they have what you would want from

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 4>that organization, but there's teams that are definitely out of it,

0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 4>and you start targeting them and say, okay, that piece

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:48.920
<v Speaker 4>work does that piece work? And then you start sort

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 4>of assessing and narrowing things down as.

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.199
<v Speaker 5>The picture, uh start and starts to broaden a little bit.

0:23:55.240 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Would you would you be looking for some organizams high end,

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:03.199
<v Speaker 3>upper end organizational catching depth. I mean, I know you

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 3>have some a triple A. You got a couple of

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 3>guys have caught in the big leagues, Garcia and Goodoy.

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 3>You got Marshawan who everybody likes Marshawan, but he's had

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 3>his injury woes.

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 5>He's healthy, wow.

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.919
<v Speaker 3>And and you have stubs here in the big leagues.

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.400
<v Speaker 3>And I only mentioned it because JT is so important,

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 3>He's indispensable. Yet he's been banged up a lot this year.

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they pinch ran for him yesterday, which was.

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 5>That was interesting that. I thought that that was a

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 5>very interesting thing.

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Now, j T one of the best base runners they have,

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 4>and for them to pinch run for him in that situation,

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:41.680
<v Speaker 4>he's obviously something's going on there that is not quite right.

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what body part or what's ailing.

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 4>It's got to be a lower body part that's probably

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 4>ailing him some way, shape or form. But that was

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 4>sort of telling to me that you know, this guy's

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:56.359
<v Speaker 4>not one hundred percent and it will be curious. You're

0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 4>right about Jim.

0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:59.359
<v Speaker 3>It looked like they were protecting him a little bit.

0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 2>No, well, that's one of the Rob said, that's why

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 2>they've made put marsh On on the made him the

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventh man for the for the London series because

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 2>he has been banged up and they I think they've

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:13.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of wanted to protect me. But he did not

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 2>mention anything specifically about uh, you know, leg or anything

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:17.360
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it jumps out.

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 2>So but Jim, are you saying, like, talk about catching depth?

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Are you saying I mean, look, you got Stubbs and

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.920
<v Speaker 3>you've got Marshawan, right, Marshawan has had trouble staying healthy.

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 3>I think one of the guys is on the on

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:39.119
<v Speaker 3>the il at Triple A. I believe I'm just one

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 3>and I know it's probably hard to get you know,

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 3>a guy who can you know, you've got a guy

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 3>who can step in and Stubs and Marshan. I'm just wondering, yeah,

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 3>just about the overall state of it, just because JT

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.359
<v Speaker 3>is so important and your your third stringer, Marshawn has

0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 3>had trouble staying healthy.

0:25:58.440 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 2>That would make a lot of sense.

0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, sure does, there's no question about it.

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean you want to have I mean, you can't

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 4>cover every base pun intended.

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 1>But that said, that.

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:10.160
<v Speaker 4>Is one of the biggest That's a big one because

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 4>if they were to lose JT for a long, longer

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:16.679
<v Speaker 4>period of time, that's a significant, significant drop off.

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 5>I like Marshaan. I like the way he calls the game.

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 4>I like that, But you're right, he's never been to

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:23.280
<v Speaker 4>be able to stay on the field long enough to

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 4>really get a good assessment of the guy.

0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they had that guy, Cam Gallagher for a while.

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 3>I think it's spring training. He's got big league time,

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 3>but I think he retired. And you hope it's nothing.

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:37.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you hope it never It's never an issue

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 3>that you even have to discuss because you know, in

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:45.959
<v Speaker 3>terms of personality, seem to have enough guys. But if

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 3>you lose something, it's a big you know, even if

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 3>it's in your depth, I think it's a it's a

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 3>it's an issue for because of where this team wants

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 3>to go and the stakes and where it.

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Can be sure that would be a bad one.

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned guys coming back, Trey Turner and Rob Thompson

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 2>think that he could be back within the week. He's

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 2>going to step up his sprinting beginning tomorrow in Boston.

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 2>He does not sound like he's going to go on

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:15.440
<v Speaker 2>a rehab assignment. It sounds like it's he's just going.

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 1>To get activated.

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:18.719
<v Speaker 2>He he says he knows enough about his swing, has

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 2>enough drills, does enough drills. He hits off the Jek machine,

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>which he says is harder than even facing live pitching

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 2>because the way the ball comes out and you know

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:32.199
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff. And then marsh is either going to

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:36.159
<v Speaker 2>continue his rehab work in reading or maybe join the

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 2>team in Boston. So both of those guys are getting close.

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like again.

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 4>They're they're being really cautious with them and they and

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:46.919
<v Speaker 4>they have the ability to do that. I mean, it

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:49.879
<v Speaker 4>gives other guys opportunities to play, like a with Merrifield,

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:52.399
<v Speaker 4>to try to get swing together, which is getting better.

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 5>It gives other people, you know, dolls playing well.

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it gets other people opportunities to play a little

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:00.640
<v Speaker 4>bit and and move from there.

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 5>How do we know what we have an update on

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 5>Cody any chance.

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 1>No, I did not get it.

0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I did not get an update on Cody's back.

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 3>What would either one of you experiment with Sosa in

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.400
<v Speaker 3>the in left field because he's swung such a such.

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 2>A good bat, that would be interesting. And now I

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 2>think it was not. It wasn't this spring, but it

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 2>was the spring before. Yeah, he was getting some looks

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 2>in center field and spring training, Yeah, and then it

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 2>never happened during the season. Rob said again this weekend

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 2>that that's something that he will consider to keep his

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 2>bat in the lineup, to keep his bat going, and

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 2>of course Sosa naturally said, yes, I will.

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Be more than happy to play left field. I just

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>want to.

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I just I just want to be in the lineup.

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean that's a no brainer for sure.

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.920
<v Speaker 2>But that's it that that would be very interesting. He could,

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I would got I gotta think he could play out

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>there at least.

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, let me just say this, I always felt like

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 4>left field was the most difficult position in the outfield.

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Center field you have a much better picture, the ball

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.000
<v Speaker 4>doesn't do as many things. You obviously have to have,

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, more speed in center field to be able

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:17.040
<v Speaker 4>to cover more ground, But as far as reading the

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 4>ball off the bat, I think left field is one

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 4>of the tougher ones.

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 5>That said, our left field in Citizens Bank.

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Park is is not a big one and it's not

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 4>a whole ton of ground to cover.

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:33.800
<v Speaker 5>And I do think that he's athletic enough.

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 4>As I watch him also field pop ups and fly balls,

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 4>he's outstanding at tracking them. He's very good at it,

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 4>and that means something because there are guys who do

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 4>not handle pop ups very well, don't like the ball

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 4>in the air. I know a lot of infielders who

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 4>don't have the depth perception to be able to handle that.

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 4>But it's pretty clear that Edmundo has a has a

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 4>pretty good read on balls in the air, and that

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 4>mean something.

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 2>What would you do, Jim move, You'd throw.

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 3>It up there righty five games over five hundred. Yeah,

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 3>he's he's light on his feet, he's athletic, he's got hands,

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 3>he's got baseball. Since he I'm sure wants to give

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 3>it a look, I'm telling him the entire next home

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 3>stand be here at two o'clock and be on the

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 3>field at two o'clock. From two to three, and you're

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna have out field one on one, and we're gonna

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 3>make a decision to maybe trot you out there somenight

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 3>twenty five games over five hundred. I'm experimenting. It's not

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 3>like he's it's not like he's a tank. You're gonna

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 3>stick a left field who can't move. I think he could,

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 3>he could. I think he with a couple of days work,

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 3>he could go out there and be passable.

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:48.280
<v Speaker 7>And listen, think about the work that that Paco's done

0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 7>with with Castillanos.

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he's made Castianos a.

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Very adequate right field or any and two Castianos's credit.

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 4>He goes out there and works at it all the time.

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 4>I've watched it on the road and washed it at home.

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 4>He works at it, and Paco works with him, and

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 4>he is an excellent way about him. And certain drills

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 4>to to uh to prepare, And.

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I agree with you, Jimmy, why not? Why'd I

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:14.000
<v Speaker 5>Heck not.

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a homestand and put him out there every

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 3>afternoon and see what he looks like at two o'clock,

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 3>and before you make any decisions about it, you know,

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 3>put him on the lineup card in that position. But

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:27.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it's worth being open, open, minded about just

0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 3>because uh, he brings a lot of energy in a

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:32.880
<v Speaker 3>lot he brings some you know. He said, look, they

0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:35.040
<v Speaker 3>haven't missed a beat with with an MVP count.

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 1>You're right, actually built their lead.

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 3>So I would, I would at the very least think

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:45.959
<v Speaker 3>about it, an experiment with it in practice situations and

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 3>then make make the call and see what happens.

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 2>And you're right there, twenty five games over five hundred

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, and all this talk the past few weeks

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>of you know, they're gonna they need to go out

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 2>and get an outfield.

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:57.120
<v Speaker 1>They need to go out and get an outfield.

0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 2>You might Nick Casting as we talked about his performance

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>for the last month top third in baseball and ops,

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe they figure out something the left field,

0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Marsh comes back, maybe Sosa does his job, Maybe Maryfield

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 2>he's up now, maybe Dall maybe you know, and now maybe.

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Marsh plays a little bit more in center field.

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 2>If Rojas doesn't get going, maybe they figure this whole

0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 2>outfield thing out, and now they can go out and

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 2>use those resources they have in the minor leagues to

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 2>go out and get a big bullpen arm or whatever

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 2>else might pop up between thirtieth.

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Fertle competition, and it's it's wonderful when guys are pushing

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 3>each other.

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah a lot, Yeah a lot.

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 4>And I honestly, and I can honestly tell you that

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 4>if people they're not going to be any jealousy, Like

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 4>with Maryfield is not going to be mad if they

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.240
<v Speaker 4>thought Mundo Sosa out there, I think, you know, hey,

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 4>if this is better for the team, if it gets

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 4>our team an opportunity to be better, I'm sure he

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 4>would want to play more.

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 5>But still, I mean.

0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:58.160
<v Speaker 4>These guys have the right mentality because they all believe

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 4>in what they're trying to do, which is win a

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 4>World Series and whatever it takes to do that.

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Witch said that the other day after he homert

0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 2>he said, I've been off to a bad start, but

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 2>the real season starts in October. That's what we're playing for,

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 2>So you know, you got to finish the job in

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 2>the regular season, of course, but they have the eye

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 2>and the prize. So Phillies Boston Tuesday night, it's Zach

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Wheeler versus Cutter Crawford. Wednesday, Christopher Sanchez versus old pal

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Nick Pivetta and uh a Big piv And then Thursday,

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Thursday Thursday, Aaron Nola versus tan or Hawke. So and

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:46.480
<v Speaker 2>then they go out and they have to play the

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Worlds this week. This is a good test. This is

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 2>a good this is a good road drip.

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I will say this, and talking to a couple of

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 2>players in spring training about the London.

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Series, they were they were they were genuinely excited about it.

0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 1>But they did say this, so keep.

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:00.959
<v Speaker 5>An eye on this.

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.800
<v Speaker 2>If they said they talked to some players that were

0:34:03.800 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>in the Cubs in the and the and the Cardinals

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 2>last year. They said, the players that were in the

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:11.399
<v Speaker 2>London Series last year said, you know what, going out

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 2>wasn't so bad because we had the two days before

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and we got used to the time change. But you

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 2>know what really kicked our butts. We didn't thinket it

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 2>coming back like. It took us a few days to

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:23.280
<v Speaker 2>really kind of adjust.

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So you know that.

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Raises a question. You know, Tuesday night, Zach Wheeler, he

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:32.760
