1 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Phillies Show with Ruben Amarrow 2 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: Junior Jim Salisbury. I'm todd so lucky. It is Monday, 3 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: May sixth, twenty twenty four. The Phillies are in position 4 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: on Monday night to sweep a four game series from 5 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: the Giants. They are twenty four and eleven. It is 6 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: the best record in Major League Baseball. It is the Phillies' 7 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: best start since nineteen ninety five. They have a two 8 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: and a half game lead over the Braves, who are 9 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: on pace to win one hundred and one games. The 10 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: Phillies are on pace to win one hundred and eleven games. 11 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: It's May six, but it's still worth pointing out they're 12 00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: off to a really, really good start. Everything is going 13 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: very well for the Phillies, but they are about to 14 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: face their first adversity. I guess you could say this 15 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: season they lost Trey Turner for at least at least 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: six weeks with a hamstring injury. I think this is 17 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: a team that's about as well positioned to handle a 18 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: loss of a superstar, you know, as any team. Rubin, 19 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: do you think this team is well positioned to handle Turner? 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,919 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, compared compared to most other teams. 21 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: I really do. And the reason why I say that 22 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: is just because of the length and breadth of their 23 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: lineup offensively, and you know, Turner has been playing much 24 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: better defensively this year than he did last year, just 25 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: the eye test for me. But and he worked very 26 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: hard at you know, getting himself back to like more 27 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: of an average infielder. But I think that the fact 28 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: that the you know, guys like Boem have stepped up. 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: You're starting to see Stott get a little warmer. You 30 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: haven't really gotten you know, the Bryce Harper yet, and 31 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: Schwarber hasn't hit you know, the June home runs yet. 32 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: So you're you're sort of don't have everybody working on 33 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: all cylinders, but you still have you know, Marsh still 34 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: pretty consistent. You know, you have guys that that are contributing. 35 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: Castianas has done literally nothing offensively, and and and that 36 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: yet you know, they're I think they're pitching has obviously 37 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: held it all together. They're starting pitching has just been 38 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: off the charts. And so when you have that combination, 39 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: I think you're do fine. And let's think about it. 40 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: Last year they lost hard and m Harper for a 41 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: long time. They kind of hung in there for a while. 42 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: They've had a super start. They got a great head 43 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: start on the on the season compared to last year. 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 2: I mean, the run differential is like from this year 45 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: to last year is like seventy five is the difference 46 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: or something like that, some kind of crazy at crazy 47 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: ass number like that. So it's I think more than 48 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: anything else. I mean, you have guys who can fill in. Now, 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: shortstops an important position. I do believe that at some 50 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: point you may very well see Bryce and Stott slide 51 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: over to shortstop to take care of that position. I 52 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: think that that may very well happen. I haven't talked 53 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: to Dobrowski and I have not talked to Rob Thompson 54 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: directly about that, but my feeling, just because of the 55 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: length of the length of the stint that it sounds 56 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: like it's like a grade two or whatever it is, 57 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: hamstring issue. You may very well benefit from having stop 58 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: go to short You get Meryfield some at bats at 59 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: second base, and then you have, you know, a little 60 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: bit more stability as far as the offense is concerned. 61 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: Social will probably play some two and he's actually had 62 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: moved as much better at shortstop than he is in 63 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: the other position in the field, so they won't lose 64 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: much there. But I think that there's a possibility you 65 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: might see that little change. But I think as far 66 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: as being position, I mean, they're in a great spot 67 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: and they don't want to lose too many guys. 68 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: But yeah, I agree, I think they're you know, they 69 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: have experience in dealing with adversity, as Reuben alluded to, 70 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 3: with losing Harper really each of the last two years, 71 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 3: not having such an important guy, and you know, especially 72 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two he was out. I wish I 73 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: had the numbers in front of me, but I think 74 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: he was out like fifty two or three games and 75 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: they went like thirty one and twenty or something. So 76 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 3: it's a real buzzword these days, resilience. But and they've 77 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: shown it in the past and I think they can 78 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: beat it again. But as a practical matter, I do 79 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: think they they line up well to handle this. And 80 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: it's a tough loss because tray Turner is playing like 81 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 3: the tray turner you expected. I mean, he's just been 82 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: a hitting machine. But you know, I think JT. You know, 83 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 3: so far, so good, right, they've played two games without him. 84 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 3: JT has stepped in at number two and really swung 85 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 3: it well. They've won both games. Obviously they're on a role. 86 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: But I do agree with Ruben. I mean, stott natural shortstop, 87 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 3: came up as a shortstop but hasn't played there since 88 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, No big deal. I think he can 89 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: slide over there. And I think your best everyday lineup 90 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: would include a lot of wit Merryfield at second base. 91 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 3: He it looks like a pretty shrewd signing, and it 92 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: also looks like that is heating up some so and 93 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: it doesn't help that they've they've added, you know, they've 94 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: padded wins, They've banked some wins here and and that's 95 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 3: gonna help. And that's the way you do it. So 96 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: I think they can handle this and come out on 97 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: the other side standing tall. And I don't think you 98 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: rushed Trade Turner. He's a legs guy, and you be careful, 99 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: you know, like a pitcher with a grond pull on 100 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 3: his push side. Trade Turner is a legs player, so 101 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: he's got an I think that's why they've probably set 102 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 3: that conservative six week estimate. So I think they can 103 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: come out the other side, still smiling here. 104 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: It is funny when you think back to spring training 105 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: and they signed whitt Mirfield to that one year, eight 106 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: million dollar deal, and you know, I know there. I 107 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: think most people liked the move at the time, but 108 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: a lot of people like, wow, eight million dollars. This 109 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: guy's he's never gonna play. He's gonna maybe play what 110 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: two three times a week? And now he ends up 111 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: becoming potentially very important piece, maybe an everyday player while 112 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: while Turner's out. How often do you play Scott at short? 113 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: You know, do you do you run him out there? 114 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: Because it sounds like he is gonna, yeah, he is 115 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: going to go out there at some point. I mean, 116 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: do you run him out there most days? 117 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: Uh? 118 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: Maybe not this week, but once he kind of gets 119 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: in there, do you run him out there every day 120 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: it's shorter, or do you. 121 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 3: I was playing pretty close. You know, he's been taking 122 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: a few balls over there. You even take a third 123 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: now and then, just to keep you know, you keep 124 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: that versatility, you keep it in your toolbox. A little 125 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 3: about the ability to play those positions. But I think 126 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: if you're winning and he's making plays and it's your 127 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: best lineup, I think you go with it probably more 128 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: often than not if you if you maybe a lefty, 129 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 3: that's when you play ed Woudno and and Maryfield at 130 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: second stays a second if you wanted to give Scott 131 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: a day off his feet. But I just have a 132 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: feeling that's gonna end up being their best every day 133 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: lineup while they endure the Turner absence. 134 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with that, and I just think 135 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: I think, out of respect for Sosa, I think they're 136 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: going to give him a couple of more games just 137 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: to play shortstop and just to give him some love, 138 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: just just knowing sort of you know, the DNA of 139 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: how Rob Thompson works. I think he'll probably give him 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: a little bit of time and then let maybe stop 141 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: take some ground balls over there, have Bobby Dickerson work 142 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: with him a few days at shortstop, and then stop, 143 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: sort of make that gradual transition. I do believe if 144 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: it goes for a month, and it sounds like it's 145 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: going to be at least a month, I mean, thirty 146 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: days is thirty days. That's one sixth of the season. 147 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: So you you're talking about you know, I'm a significant 148 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: amount of time, And I got no problem let's let's 149 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: not forget. You know, the Philadelphia Phillies went to the 150 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: World Series, almost won the World Series, but stop at shortstop. 151 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: I mean he was a rookie, much like we saw 152 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: years ago with Kevin Stoker going over there and playing 153 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: you know, shortstop for the Phillies in ninety three. So 154 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: you know, for me, I would slide him over there 155 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,239 Speaker 2: and then give. As James said, I think with Maryfield 156 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: is going to be a really good player and an 157 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: important piece of this and you're not. I mean, I 158 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: know Trey Turner's trade Turner, but you start thinking about 159 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: how this lineup set up. Get another right handed bat 160 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: in there. That's a quality. You get a guy who 161 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: knows how to play. You get a guy who has 162 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: been and everyday player, was an All Star last year. 163 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: I mean the signing is, as you said, Todd, very 164 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: very shrewd, pretty smart and h and helpful, and that's 165 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: what you sort of need. You need to have certain 166 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 2: guys step up. I mean, what was it, Tadd and 167 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: Gucci we ended up signing when when when? Or we 168 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: ended up trading for it when you know when Utley 169 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: went down. I mean, those things need to happen. You 170 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: have to create some depth for your team. 171 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 3: That was that was That was to Pat Killick felt 172 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: bad for Freddy. Freddy Garcia, right, I think it. 173 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: I think it was. I really honestly think I honestly 174 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: think it was because. 175 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: It was like two baseball men doing each other a 176 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 3: solid like I think Kenny Williams felt bad that Freddy 177 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: broke down so quick. 178 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: Maybe I got to believe that there had to be 179 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: something to that, because you know, there was some question 180 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: about the medicals on on Freddy that we checked out. 181 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: But you know, a little little, maybe a little shady. 182 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: Right, I mean, that's they got. They got their Tad 183 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Agucci and Mirrorfield before the season started, so they don't 184 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: need to run out and get somebody. So again that 185 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: that move looks pretty solid. And it also helps, of 186 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: course that you lose a player like Trey Turner. You 187 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: have a rotation that is one of the best in baseball. 188 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: It's the best in the National League. You know, last night, 189 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker goes out and allows one run through six 190 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: innings and he gives up the two run home run 191 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: in the seventh. You know, he both games really through 192 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: six innings, he pitched pretty well and a lot of 193 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: hand ringing, a lot of angst amongst the fan base 194 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: about you know, what do you do with Spencer Turnbowl? 195 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: Now it sounds like he's in the bullpen, but it 196 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: sounds like he maybe could pitch and start some games 197 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: since Chris Sanchez spot, but maybe not. Maybe he'll piggyback them, 198 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: but then maybe he'll be a high leverage guy at 199 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: some point. But they got to keep them stretched out, 200 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, you got to keep them going three innings. 201 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: I asked throughout last night, you know, it was if 202 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: Taiwan had gotten through the seventh, would you have finished 203 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: the game with Spencer Turnbull? He said, Now, we really 204 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: want him to go three innings. I don't know what's 205 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: going on or how it's going to work. It's it's 206 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: all very confusing to me kind of how it's set up. 207 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: But I guess somebody has to take, you know, has 208 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: to take the hit, and it's going to be Spencer Turmble. 209 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: Do you, guys, Rubin, how do you feel if Phillies 210 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: are handling the Walker Turnbull situation right now? 211 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: I just think it's a fluid situation, I really do. 212 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you can't have six guys it's clear 213 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: that guys like you know, Wheeler don't do not want 214 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 2: to pitch on six days, you know, five days rest. 215 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: Oh no, that's oh no, you know that was very clear. 216 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: And I don't blame them. I mean, these guys have 217 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: their routines, and you know people talk about well, you 218 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: know that can't be an excuse. Well, it is an excuse. 219 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: You imagine sitting on your rear end for five days 220 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: or six days and you're not pitching. That's different for 221 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: a pitcher, and especially when you're talking about elite athletes. Okay, 222 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: So the Aaron Nola's in, the the Suarez is and 223 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: the Wheelers of the world are going to stay in 224 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: their routines. Now, they may benefit from this in August 225 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: if they clinch early or something like that, where you 226 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: want to give them a couple of days, that may 227 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 2: be different, but you never have enough pitching. I love 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: the fact that they have this problem because it's never 229 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: a problem. Never happens. Okay, I will tell you, knowing 230 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 2: this business, that this problem never happens. And the fact 231 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: that they have this is great and I think honestly 232 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: it keeps kind of Christopher Sanchez on his toes because 233 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 2: if he doesn't pitch well, he'll slide back into the 234 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: long spot. I mean, it's I mean, that's what's going 235 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 2: to happen. And I hope Chris Sanchez continues to pitch 236 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: well or gets better, because I think his stuff is there, 237 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: just he hasn't been super super sharp with his command, 238 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: which he was doing very well last year at the 239 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: end of the year. I think he needs to get 240 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: back to that. But if he falters, then they can 241 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 2: flip flop the guys. I mean, it's as simple as that, 242 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: or they can piggyback them or whatever it is that 243 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: they need to do. So I love this problem. I 244 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: wish I had this problem for years and years and 245 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: years as a GM, and I think it's just a 246 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: fluid situation where they'll try to manage it as best 247 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: they can. You know, at some point someone's got to 248 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: blow up game where they give up five runs in 249 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: the first two winnings, They're going to have to bring 250 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: somebody in. Well, I'd like to have that guy. I 251 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: like to have that guy, and I have that guy 252 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: be sharp so they can stay in the game and 253 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: perhaps come back and win it. So it's a great 254 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 2: situation to be in. I'm envious, and I think it's 255 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: a it's a really really great two signings. You start 256 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 2: thinking about some of the things that they did in 257 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: the offseason that are the smaller ones that become big 258 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 2: are merror Field and Turnbull knows that's that's that's good stuff, man, 259 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: and that's why Daved Nebowski is a Hall of Famer, right. 260 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 3: I actually think guys, it keeps four and five Sanchez 261 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 3: and Taiwan Walker on their toes a little bit because 262 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: you know, that's if Turnbull can slot in either place. 263 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 3: And very interesting to hear Rob very clearly say last night, 264 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,239 Speaker 3: when we use Turnbull, we want it to be three innings. 265 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: They want to keep them stretched, so you know, he 266 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: can slide into the rotation somewhere and you might see 267 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: him next week, depending on the matchups. Start a game 268 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: with Sanchez coming in behind him, so they're they're getting 269 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 3: creative and and I think it has a chance of 270 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: really really working. So they obviously want to keep him 271 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: sharp because he has shown to be uh, shown great 272 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 3: value early and they don't want to ice him, have him, 273 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: you know, on ice, so the next time they go 274 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: to him, he's not sharp. 275 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: Right, right, you know, it's funny. Taiwan I thought said 276 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: it best last night. I kind of fumbled the question. 277 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: I said, have you talked to Spencer? You know, if 278 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: you guys had a kind of hash it out. He 279 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: goes hash it out? What do we need to hash out? 280 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: But then he made a great point. He goes, Spencer's 281 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: pitched phenomenally in that spot, stepping at the last minute. 282 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: He has pitched outstanding, And Taiwan said it himself. He 283 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: will be back in the rotation at some point. It 284 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: is a long season. You don't go an entire season 285 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: with only five starters. You don't go an entire season 286 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: with only six starters. I think the Phillies have not 287 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: had fewer than ten starters in a season since twenty fourteen. 288 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: I think they had nine. They haven't had fewer than 289 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: nine since twenty eleven, when they had seven. So the 290 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: odds tell you, unless there's a miracle of health and production, 291 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: that Spencer Turnbull will be starting again at some point 292 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: for the Phillies this season. 293 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: I sure hope in August they have the same problem. 294 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: Can you imagine, I mean in July and August, if 295 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: you have the same problem, then you'll be going you're 296 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: literally happy as hell. I mean, if you're in the 297 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: front office and you're Rob Thompson and you're Caleb Coffin, 298 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: you're going, Thank the sweet Lord, you're letting me have 299 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 2: all these pitchers right now. 300 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reasons why this situation 301 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: seems so convoluted and messy is because it never happens. 302 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: You don't have a guy that throws one hundred and 303 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: seventy two innings one year, starts a season and the 304 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: injured list, and people are going, how are you going 305 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: to fit him in? Because the guy he assigned to 306 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: a one year, two million dollar deal, who's been injured 307 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: the last four years, has a one six seventy rac 308 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: and six starts. It's pretty wild. 309 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: I think Taiwan deserves a little respect for those sure 310 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: both one two, and for the way he's come out 311 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: of the gate here with two solid starts. But you know, 312 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: obviously the seventh innings haven't gone his way, and you 313 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 3: can make the argument that he should have been out 314 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 3: of there earlier in both games. I think it's fair 315 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: to make that point. I think it's fair to ask 316 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 3: Rob Thompson that question. I mean, he was asked about 317 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 3: that last night, whether you know he was it you 318 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 3: that asked him or Scott. 319 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I asked him if if he'll he'll have more pause. 320 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, that's right, Like get. 321 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 3: Him out of there after six, and I think it's 322 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 3: it's fair. And I bet you he will. I bet 323 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: you all of a sudden, like his little ding ding 324 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 3: ding meter is going off, you know, at six, after 325 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 3: six innings the next time. But Rob's not gonna come 326 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 3: out there, come out there last night and say, you know, 327 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 3: and say that, and it shows a lack of trust 328 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 3: and faith in his picture. But I bet deep down 329 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: inside he's gonna view things a little differently after six innings. 330 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: I think last night he framed it around. Depends where 331 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 3: we are, depends where his pitch count is, and those 332 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 3: are all, you know, you know, fair points. But I 333 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 3: think it's also fair to say, you know, six innings, boom, 334 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: we gotta we gotta do something here. You kind of 335 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 3: learned from that empirical evidence. And but you know, if 336 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 3: you stack up Taiwan his two starts over his first 337 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: six innings in each, I'll take that day, even though 338 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 3: the stuff is not like dynamic and lighting up the 339 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 3: radar gun and making everybody go oohing ah. The location 340 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: has been good, the results have been good. Yeah. 341 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: So here's the thing. I think, out of respect to 342 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 2: Taiwan and the fact that the team had some cushion 343 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 2: and Rob Thompson's got a lot of confidence in the offense, 344 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: I think you can let him go to that seventh 345 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: inning and try to get through to it. And I 346 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: think that's the beauty of this offense that they've gave him, 347 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 2: given him a couple of cushions to be able to 348 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 2: work with that, and to give Rob Thompson and also, 349 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, it gives Rob Thompson an opportunity 350 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 2: to like find out, Let me find out if this 351 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 2: guy can go through seven, if he can get up 352 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: and down six times? I mean, and I think that 353 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 2: that's I don't think I have a problem with that. 354 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: And the fact that he also trusts the guys in 355 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: the back end to be able to clamp it down 356 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: if they have some issues. I think that that's what 357 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 2: you saw on his first two outings. The other thing 358 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: that I noticed about Taiwan Walker and correct me if 359 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: I'm wrong, guys, but his split is even working. It's 360 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 2: his best pitch and his split is not even working yet, right. 361 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 2: I think once he gets the field for that split 362 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: a little bit more. I know his velocities are in 363 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety two range. He's probably that's where he's 364 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 2: gonna be. He may ramp up a little bit. I 365 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: know Rob Thompson talked about it that he may get 366 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: gained some more velocity as he goes, as he gets 367 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: stronger through the season. That said, his best pitch is 368 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: not even working yet and he's still sort of managing through. Now, 369 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: these are not great lineups, but there. 370 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 3: Aren't great lineups in the whole, in. 371 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: All of baseball. I mean, there's not that many great 372 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: teams offensively that you have to really quote unquote worry about. Now. 373 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: It will be different in the playoffs. It'll be different 374 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: in September when games get tighter and tighter. But the 375 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: man doesn't even have his best pitch and he's still 376 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 2: sort of managing through. So you got to give him 377 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: a little love for that. 378 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he said is he had a blister in San 379 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: Diego and that's why he I mean, he didn't throw 380 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: a split almost at all. I feel like in the 381 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: debuty said he got a better feel for it later 382 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: in the game Sunday night. So it was the pitch 383 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: he was throwing him, what thirty or thirty Yeah, third 384 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: of the time. Last year he was going it was 385 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: all split split split. So it was interesting though, like 386 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: he gave up home runs, that big home run that 387 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: kind of spoiled both of his lines. It was the 388 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: ninetieth pitch and both starts the inning before he finished. 389 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: This is what the kind of the gray area is. 390 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: I guess, like I think in his first start he 391 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: finished the sixth inning at like seventy three pitches, and 392 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: last night he finished at seventy seven pitches. So you 393 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: can see why Rob sent him out into the seventh 394 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: inning both of those. But again, now his next starts, 395 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: say he's at seventy six going into the seventh inning, 396 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: do you send them back down? 397 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: Ruben said, you know, Rob wants to find out. Yeah, 398 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 3: so you know you send him out there twice to 399 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 3: find out. And now when you make the move that 400 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: you know at the seventy the ninetieth pitch, when you 401 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 3: make a move, when you make a move at eighty 402 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: eight pitches, and he comes in after the game or 403 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: the next day and says, hey, why didn't you show him? 404 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: Why don't you stick with me? Boom? You point to 405 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 3: you point to where the where the numbers are and 406 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 3: the results are, and you say, this is, this is 407 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 3: this is this is why going with the going with 408 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 3: the numbers. And I think that's a very legitimate use 409 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 3: of the numbers there, Todd. I wanted to ask you, 410 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 3: remember all those years. I was actually thinking about this 411 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 3: driving home last night, Like when the Flyers are over 412 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: and the Sixers are over, the Sixers getting knocked out 413 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 3: earlier this week, the n the NFL Draft is over. 414 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 3: It always seemed like early in the season there were 415 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 3: those other matters, sporting matters in town taking away the 416 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: attention to the Phillies, and we'd sit down and we write, 417 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: you know, all right, the Phillies have six eight weeks 418 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: now to really grab the town here, right because training 419 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 3: camps not open yet with the Eagles, and they have 420 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: six or eight weeks to grab everybody's attention. And that 421 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 3: probably written that, You've probably written that at times, but 422 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 3: no need for that. This team has totally grabbed everybody's attention, 423 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 3: you know, dating back to dating back to bedlam at 424 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: the bank, but really you've seen some of these cold, 425 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: misty nights and this huge crowds there and the attendance 426 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 3: and the way this team has captured the town with 427 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: its star power, with its good looking young players, with 428 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 3: the starting pitching rotation, and ultimately with the w's. I mean, 429 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: that's what matters most. It's really becoming a lot of 430 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 3: fun to watch. 431 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: It is, and I think that this is really setting 432 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: up to be one of those summers where people are 433 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: just going bananas over everything that Phillies are doing. And 434 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: you're right, I was thinking about, you know, for the 435 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: last few years, they've gotten such a slow starts, and 436 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: so the Phillies fans are kind of grumpy and there's 437 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: some angst about you know, are they going to be 438 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: good enough? Well, now they have the best record in baseball, 439 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: not saying it's gonna last, but they're on this remarkable 440 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: pace and the fact that they're winning and they're such 441 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: a fun team, I think is going to only add 442 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: to that fan interest. You know, I don't know if 443 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: you guys saw it on social media. I went back 444 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: and I listened to the broadcast last night. They had 445 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: Brandon marsh miked up yes, and it was unbelievable. I mean, 446 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: he was so great, and that's I know there's some 447 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: people that don't like guys miked up and it's in 448 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 1: the middle of a game, and you know, you know, 449 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: Mike Schmid wouldn't have done that, or you know, Greg 450 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: Lozinski wouldn't have done that. I get it, But man, 451 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: it was so much fun to listen to him talk 452 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: and just show his personality. And I think that stuff 453 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: feeds into it. And it was funny after the game 454 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: marsh said he had He says, that's a lot harder 455 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: than it looks talking and playing at the same time. 456 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: But he was great. He showed a lot of personality. 457 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: That's why I think this thing team has. You have 458 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: the hot start, you have the personality, and now they 459 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: are the only show in town and it's really building 460 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: up to be. You know, you can see everybody's radio 461 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: at the Shore is going to be tuned into the 462 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: Phillies game at night, every back porch in southeastern Pennsylvania, 463 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: Soulterer is in Delaware, everybody's going to be you know, 464 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: it's got that vibe going to it right now. 465 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: I think the cool thing about it is that you 466 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: talked about the personality that you know they have their 467 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: veteran guys, I mean, the Harper's, the JT. Real Muto's 468 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 2: and the shore Beers are sort of the stabilizers and 469 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: Turner obviously the stabilizers of the club. But then beyond 470 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: that you have guys like Marsh and Stott and those 471 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 2: you know, Ranger Suarez who are are now starting to 472 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: become real stars in the game, like really really good players. 473 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: And not only that, but they're you know, they're good 474 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: team players. Marsh did two things yesterday, pulled a couple 475 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: of balls on the ground with man on second base, 476 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 2: with with nobody out quality at bats. Now that you know, 477 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 2: one results in a run, I think, and the other 478 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 2: time it did not because Casianos has been struggling. But 479 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 2: but they're doing the things that are necessary to win 480 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 2: baseball games. They talk about being dogs, right, well they are, 481 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 2: I mean, and they're they're backing it up because they're 482 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: playing winning baseball. And then you know, in the postgame interview, 483 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: I listened to uh to Harpard's about the consistency of 484 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 2: their level of play, and that's they've been doing those things. 485 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: You know, Stott didn't panic, you know, coming out of 486 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: the shoot, was struggling. He's starting to swing it again. 487 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: I mean the other guy was Alec Bohm was the 488 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: third one I was going to talk about. I mean, 489 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: these are guys that are becoming stars and have a 490 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 2: chance to be really really high level players. And you 491 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 2: start stacking up all those guys in that lineup with 492 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: the veteran with the veterans, and you combine that with 493 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 2: the with the quality of the young players coming through 494 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 2: and the confidence that you see them have now, and boy, 495 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 2: it's a great combination. It's a great combination to have, 496 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: especially with this kind of pitching staff that we talked to. 497 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 3: No, no question, a great, great mix of a veteran 498 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 3: track record, a veteran All Star caliber track record, and 499 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 3: ascending I almost saying ascending young player, but I think 500 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 3: they've a lot of these guys have actually crossed the 501 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 3: thresholds where you're a young player. Now you're a young 502 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: established player, a young player, a pro. You know they're young, 503 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 3: but they're not so young. They're they're really right there 504 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 3: and they're entering their prime. So a real nice mix. 505 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 3: And I mean, you know, we're taping here on Monday morning, 506 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 3: and what have they won? Sixteen out of nineteen and 507 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 3: six in a row. Todd, Yeah, I mean they have 508 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: a chance to get a you know, later on Monday, 509 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 3: they have a chance for a four game Sweet. That's 510 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 3: really tough. 511 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: That's crazy, crazy, really. 512 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 3: Tough to do. But I mean, gosh, you got you 513 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: got the surgeon on the mound, Zach Wheeler. 514 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's not happy either if you. 515 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 3: Had a chance to do it, get the forced four games, sweep. 516 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: The you know what, and how about all the talk 517 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 2: about the center field of Johann Rojas. No one's even 518 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: talking about Johann anymore. Just as we talked about before. 519 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not that big of a deal that 520 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: the kids hitting too Tan or whatever he's hitting or 521 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: two twenty, because he's doing what he needs to do. 522 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 2: He's gotten on base a few times. He's got a 523 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: couple of big bass hits and drove in a run, 524 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: you know, a couple of backbreaker hits. He's stolen a 525 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 2: base here there, he makes the plays in center field. 526 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 2: You know, you don't need him to be an offensive 527 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 2: juggernaut because you got the whole rest of the lineup 528 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 2: doing that damage. 529 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 3: It's just what, just the way they thought it could 530 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 3: happen that we should be good enough one through eight 531 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 3: that he can be a good functional piece in the 532 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 3: lineup while continuing to improve and not hurt them. That's 533 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 3: exactly what's happening. He was kind of in the center 534 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 3: of it all last night. Michael CONFORDO hit a couple 535 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 3: of bombs out there, and you know, one he I 536 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 3: think he actually was a little too aggressive. On the 537 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 3: second one, he kind of overran it a little bit. 538 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 3: But the fact that he got to those balls was 539 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 3: something he'll he'll catch. He'll catch those in the very 540 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 3: not too distant future because he'll learn from from both 541 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 3: of those plays. 542 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: I thought Rob Thompson had had an interesting common asked 543 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: about those plays. Someone asked him about you know he 544 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: did he overrun those balls and should he have caught 545 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: those balls? He's like, you know what, I think people 546 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: need to remember that he is so good defensively. He's 547 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: getting the balls that most human beings would never get to, 548 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: and it's almost unfair to expect him to catch every 549 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: rocket that is hit into the gap or over his head. 550 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 2: Uh. 551 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,719 Speaker 1: That tells you how And I agree, I mean, you know, 552 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: he he probably should catch it. He would tell you 553 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: he should have caught those balls. Maybe in some of 554 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: those cases, but he's gonna run. He's going to get 555 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: close to lot of balls that most guys. 556 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: And I guarantee, and I guarantee who's pissed off ned 557 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: to make those plays? Yeah, oh yeah, I guarantee you 558 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 2: because he wants to be elite. You know, that's his 559 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: calling card. 560 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 3: That's the sign of a player who's going to be good. 561 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 3: If you're ticked off that you don't make that play, 562 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 3: and he'll go out and work on making This is 563 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 3: to be a fascinating week. Like I mentioned, you get 564 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: a chance to get a four game sweep. You don't 565 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 3: play a lot of four game series, and to sweep 566 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 3: on very very very difficult. Then you got a Toronto 567 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 3: Blue Jays team coming in that it's just not playing 568 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 3: a while, spending its wheels, having a real tough time. 569 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 3: And then you you go to see Miami which seems 570 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 3: like they've entered full tank mode and a chance to 571 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: clean up down there. You know, again, again we've said 572 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: it a million times, but a chance for this team 573 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 3: to even get some more padding, make make some more. Hey, 574 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 3: don't you think it's a big week? 575 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: I think it's right, Yeah, they're all big, but yeah, 576 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: it's right for the taking for sure. Or the Blue 577 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: Jays are struggling, and that Marlins team, i mean they 578 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: just got rid of a rise. They sent him packing. 579 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that Marlin team and that's an embarrassment. 580 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 2: What's happened ever since they let go of Kim Ang. 581 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: That that was a that's a bad that was a 582 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: you know, we can talk about that at some other point. 583 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 2: But I mean, they really I think it's that You're right, 584 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: they're there for the taking, and hopefully they go down there, 585 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 2: it's not a letdown for them because they literally want 586 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 2: nobody in the ballpark. They will not have anybody in 587 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 2: the ballpark, and that sometimes mentally is a tough thing 588 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: to adjust to. It's not or it's something, but it's 589 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: something they're going to have to deal with, and it's 590 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 2: gonna be something, you know, probably if they have some 591 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 2: family down there. I'm sure there's gonna be lots of 592 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: family going down there. My kids graduating from Miami down there. 593 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: I'll be happen to be down there. It'll be kind 594 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: of cool. But but there's not gonna be a whole 595 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: lot of energy in that ballpark. It's gonna be like 596 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 2: a morgue out there, and so they're gonna have to. 597 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 3: And it's good that they're so good at scoring early. 598 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: First and second thing, they put a lot of runs 599 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 3: on the board. You go out, I agree with you. 600 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: I mean, that's why I think some of the reason 601 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: they had trouble down in Miami over the years, because 602 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 3: that place is like a mausoleum. It's so quiet. It's 603 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 3: you know, there's no energy in the ballpark, but offense 604 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: equals energy. Go out there early and put a couple 605 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 3: on the board early every night. I think that energy 606 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 3: can carry you through because you need to make a 607 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 3: good showing in that series. I think Atlanta. I think 608 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 3: Atlanta is five and one against Miami, so in the division, 609 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 3: you need to clean up against Miami. AIB they're going 610 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,719 Speaker 3: to be this willing, compliant opponent that just you know, 611 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 3: is giving away their best player or traded away their 612 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 3: best player and seemingly, you know, decided they're not going 613 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 3: to build on a playoff appearance last year. But it 614 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 3: all starts with Monday afternoon. I'm intrigued by this pitching matchup. 615 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 3: I mean, Zach Wheeler and young man from Scranton, Pennsylvania. 616 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: Mason Black making his major league debut so for the 617 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 3: Giant's on Monday afternoons, So, you know, I'm sure it's 618 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 3: a thrilling moment for him and his family, But the 619 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 3: Phillies are going to be out to get themselves a 620 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 3: four game sweep. Yeah. 621 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: The concern always when we when we face a guy 622 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: for the first time, especially the veteran guys, not so 623 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: much the younger guys, these ascending players, but when they 624 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 2: haven't seen somebody, you know, it's it tends to be 625 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: like a foreign object to him. But they've actually dealt 626 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 2: with that pretty well this year. And if they can 627 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 2: get an early lead for Zach, I think Zach's he's 628 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: got a little vengeance in this game right now because 629 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 2: he wants to be Zach Wheeler for the next next several. 630 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: He was about as ornery as I've seen him after 631 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: a start the other night in Anaheim, pitching on extra rest. 632 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: He was so unhappy about his performance. We asked him, 633 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, he limited the damage, and we asked him, 634 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, you take any positives out of doing that, 635 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: and he he basically that I got nothing out of that. 636 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: He was so mad about the way you pitched. So yeah, 637 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: I think he's, uh, he's gonna have a little bit 638 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: extra edge edged him night. So it's Mason Black versus 639 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler tonight, and then the Blue Jays come into 640 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: town for two Jose Barrios versus Christopher Sanchez on Tuesday. 641 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: Maybe you'll see some Spencer Turnbull, maybe you won't, nobody knows. 642 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: And then Wednesday it's Aaron Nola versus Chris Bassett. Who's 643 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: who's struggle a little bit this season? So rubin you 644 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: you said you had something you wanted to show us, 645 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: Oh before we sign off. 646 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: So my man Tony Demico, he's from Tojoe Mushroom Farms 647 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: Mushrooms Incorporated. He is a card collector, and I told 648 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: him I went to UH I went to a golf 649 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 2: tournament with the Joe Watson UH up in BC. Yeah, 650 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 2: years ago. He a couple of years ago, and we 651 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: kind of hung out together. This guy's a car collector, 652 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: he said. I told him that my grandfather other played 653 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 2: in the major leagues, so or it's played in the 654 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: UH in Cuba and the Mexico, not the major leagues. 655 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 2: And he got this card he founded on a website 656 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 2: in Cuba. It's an actual baseball card of Santo Tomorrow. 657 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 2: It's insane. It's a legitimate baseball card of Santos El Congudo, 658 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 2: El Gonzo Amato. Now Gonzo Gonzo is goose, so that 659 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 2: was one of his nicknames.
