1 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: I Paul Hamilt swapped into The Philly Show, Ruben Tomorrow Junior, 2 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: Jim Salisbury, todds Alecki. It's Monday, April twenty first, twenty twenty. 3 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: Five, Rubin. 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: That was your broadcast partner, Cole Hamill's. 5 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 3: You noted that he did a nice job yesterday, the 6 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 3: very first time he was doing a regular season game, 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 3: And I think it had a nice job. But you know, 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 3: it's it's never easy with a three man booth, and 9 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: it's never easy for your first time. But I thought 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 3: he did great. What'd you guys think? 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought he was yeah, very good, really good. 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think people you know, it's really hard 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: when you get in there for the first time. I mean, 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: I've never obviously done a broadcast like that before, but 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: I have done some TV before, and I'm telling you, 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: the first thirty forty to fifty times, you're worried about 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: just like screwing up, and you're trying to get confident, 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: you're trying to feel comfortable. 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, I thought he'ld. 20 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 3: Still worried about screwing up every time. I've been doing 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: it for five years. 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: I did once, I did once an MLB network hit 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: back when they used to use us. We don't really 24 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: they don't really use this that much, but they used 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: to use this a lot on the show called the Rundown. 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: And back in the day when I first started doing it, 27 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: it was a live hit and Shane Victorino knew I 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: was live, came behind me, was like, had. 29 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: A garbage can. He was shaking the garbage in front 30 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: of me. 31 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: I was stumbling and fumbling and mumbling, and he thought 32 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: it was so fricking funny. And I went up to 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: a Macwoods to go, you can't do that, and Cod was. 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, exactly exactly right. I said, you're gonna cost 35 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: me my job. Please don't do that. 36 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: If I say the wrong thing, I'm gonna be in deep, 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: deep trouble. 38 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 5: So uh anyway, and. 39 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 4: I was doing I was doing a hit at the 40 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 4: Winter Meetings once years ago, and I was talking about 41 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: pitch and I was trying to talk about free agent 42 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: Brandon Lion l y o N, but all I could 43 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: see in my head was Pitcher, Brandon Webb w ebb, 44 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 4: two monosyllabic short last names. And I got stuck and 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: I'm going hamanahamanahamanahammana right on Live TV and Rob Kester, 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 4: our producer yells from the ten feet away he goes Lion, Lion. 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: I've frozen a couple of times on MLB Network. I 48 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: forgot who I was talking about anyway. 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, so you know, Cole did a good job today. 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: He's only going to get better. It's cool to see 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: him in the booth with you guys, You and Tom 52 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: was It was fun today other than I guess the 53 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: result of course, Phillies fumble away a win against a 54 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: team that I was talking to somebody yesterday in the 55 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: press boxes that was That was one of the worst 56 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: teams I've seen in a long time in the Miami Marlins. 57 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean, let's just be honest, and they should have 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: won that game. 59 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: They should have swept the series. You got to win. 60 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: His winning series is great, but felt like they let 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: that one get away. Rubin you were in the booth, 62 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: you had to analyze every misstep in the late innings. 63 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: What do you think of the series? 64 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 3: Glad I wasn't the GM for that game. I would 65 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: have been throwing stuff up against the wall. You know, 66 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: anytime you let a team hang in there for a while, 67 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: I mean they got out to a great start, banged 68 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: Gillespie around a little bit, and Glespbie really doesn't have anything. 69 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: He really doesn't have a lot. I don't believe that 70 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: he's a major league caliber starter in my estimation, just 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: with his overall stuff. But he's pitching in the major leagues. 72 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: And you know, the Marlins are a transitional team. They 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: got off to a good start, but then that on, 74 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: I mean, Lesbie Scots sort of settled in and stemied 75 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: him after that, but they still should have won the 76 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: ball game. And late in the game, you know, well Ryan, 77 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 3: you know they left him hang around a little bit. O. 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: Ryan Kirkering hangs a breaking ball to Sonoha and too. 79 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: I had a career day five RBIs drove in a 80 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: bunch of runs, got a big home run. It was 81 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: a gift served on a platter. They didn't play great defense. 82 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 3: Lozardo was outstanding. Love love love the way Lozardo's pitching. 83 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: He is more than they than than they asked for it. 84 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: And frankly, I'm not surprised that he's pitching that good 85 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: because I think he always had a great arm and 86 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: has good stuff. But the bullpen just hasn't been very good, 87 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: especially the last two days, and you gotta be better 88 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: than that. You just have to be better than that 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball. And they sort of 90 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: lazied that ball that game away, both defensively and pitching wise, 91 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: and you know you can't do that. You can't just 92 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: give games away, especially when you're going into a New 93 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: York and the Chicago Cubs series. It's gonna be real rough. 94 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: Almost fumbled away Saturday's game. Yeah, when you think about it, 95 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 4: that would have. 96 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 3: Been no doubt, no doubt. Ended up having to use 97 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: Albarado and the Albarado pitch back and back, so you 98 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: probably can't use them on Monday the Mets, and if 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: you have a lead, so puts guys in a tough position. 100 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: I mean, and listen, Ryan Kirk is going to have 101 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: to step forward and pitch better. Uh, he spun a 102 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: breaking ball. It was obvious that the whole team was 103 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 3: looking for his breaking ball every single pitch, sitting on it. 104 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: First pitch, breaking ball, bang base hit by norby next, 105 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 3: I mean they were they were sitting on his breaking stuff, 106 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: still had a chance to get out of it, and 107 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: then spun on breaking ball after beating him. You know, 108 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: Son with a couple of fastballs. Decided to go back 109 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: to that bread and butter breaking ball, but you got 110 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: to bounce it. 111 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 5: How does he adjust Reuben hard sinkers in? 112 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: Well, his heart sinker in was good, but he's really 113 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: more of it. 114 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 5: More of them the second set that pitch. 115 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: Up, no question, he's gonna have to bury that sinker, 116 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 3: which he did pretty well. But then you know, when 117 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: it gets right down to him, it feels like he 118 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 3: has to make a pitch. He's gonna throw a slider 119 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 3: and the whole world knows it. But it's the command, 120 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 3: but it's the command in the execution. He spun that 121 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: right in the middle of the plate and so No, 122 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: I took advantage of it hit home run. 123 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he has. 124 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: He has not really thrown the sinker very much. And 125 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: that was the thing that I think he had talked 126 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: about maybe throwing a little bit more, but coming in 127 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: to today's game, he'd only thrown it. Thrown ten sinkers 128 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: all season. That's less than ten percent of all of 129 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: his pitches. I don't know what the number is there. 130 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: If he threw it, threw more of them to it, 131 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: threw them more of them. On Sunday, but but that's 132 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: got to be a pitch for him because he's got 133 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: to get he's got to get the right handers off 134 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: leaning out over the plate looking for. 135 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 4: The spinner right sore whre is the concern level for 136 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 4: the Bullpenton. 137 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: Boy. 138 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: I tell you what, I'm very interested to see, like 139 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: what Jordan Romano does next, because. 140 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: It's funny. 141 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: I wrote on Thursday for my Phillies Beat newsletter. I 142 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: broke down he was so inconsistent in his first five appearances. 143 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: Right it was the fastball was ninety eight, the next 144 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: pitch it was ninety one, then it was ninety three. 145 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: He was getting hit hard. He wasn't really able to 146 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: locate anything. And then his last three entering Saturday, he 147 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: was pretty good. Three scoreless innings, one hit, one strikeout. 148 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: The villa was up, and so I talked to him 149 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: and he kind of talked about this mechanical thing. Theft 150 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: was lesse Jadge. Already remember like an opening day, it 151 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: was almost like straight out, almost horizontal. Now is more 152 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: of a ninety degree band, I guess you could say. 153 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: And so I wrote about that, and then Saturday he 154 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: comes out first batter I think was like ninety nine 155 00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: to eight. 156 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm going. Here we go. 157 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 5: Jordan R. 158 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: Manning was about to take off. He's about to take off, 159 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: and then he just got rocked. 160 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: And that's not my word, those were his words. He 161 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: said it twice after the game on Saturday, says, I 162 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: don't know, very strange. 163 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: I don't know what to say other than I got rocked. 164 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: And he did get rocked. He gave up six runs. 165 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: I looked it up. 166 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: He had never given up more than three runs in 167 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: a game before, and in fact, it was that was 168 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: so surprising. I had somebody else like double check my search. 169 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: I said, is this right? 170 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: He's never given up more than the three runs until today, 171 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: and today he gave up six. And so it's it's 172 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: it's weird, it's concerning. They need him to be better. 173 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: The fact that his velo is up and his stuff 174 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: was better, I guess makes me a little up, like 175 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: very very very cautiously optimistic that it was maybe just 176 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: a bad, bad appearance. Maybe he was tipping his pitches. 177 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: I did ask him that. I said, are you going 178 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: to look and see if you were tipping your pitch? 179 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: He said, oh, yes, for sure. 180 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 2: He says, if it. 181 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: Was a few bloops, bloopers and bleeders and broken batters. 182 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: I would not, but the fact that they were squaring 183 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: up everything and I was kind of doing everything that 184 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to do. 185 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 3: Uh. 186 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: I am definitely going to be looking at films, so 187 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see if anything comes out of that. 188 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, his next outing is going to be very interesting, interestingly, 189 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 4: given that his stuff was up and he had no results, 190 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 4: and they they banged him good, and I'm sure it's 191 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 4: gonna come in City Field. I'm really curious to see 192 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 4: how how he rebounds from that. It's a it's a test. 193 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: They've been using a ton of leverage relievers and getting 194 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 4: very mixed results. I can almost see the you can 195 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: almost hear it, you know, the swell that you're going 196 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 4: to need help in the bullpen. 197 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: Well, that was a concern of mine right out of 198 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: the shoot. I mean even I mean, obviously you lost Hopman, 199 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: and you know he signed a very lucrative deal Bitchen 200 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: very well, so that makes it hurt even more. Obviously, 201 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 3: you know, I don't think the Pahillies were prepared to 202 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: give him that that those kind of numbers. A little 203 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: concerned about some of the health long term and all 204 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 3: other stuff. But yeah, it's hard to build a bullpen. 205 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: It's one of the hardest things to do, and it's 206 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: very volatile and very inconsistent. And uh And actually I 207 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: think that both the Ross and you know, the the 208 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 3: Romano signings were pretty good signings. I think they're pretty 209 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 3: solid signings. But I think more than anything else, for Romano, 210 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: I think he's got his mechanics together. I think he 211 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 3: is absolutely tipping his pitches, and I think he also 212 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: is not changing the eye level. There's two things to 213 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: unpack here. For me, He's got to change the eye 214 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: level on on some of his pitches. Number One, because 215 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 3: everything is up in the zone, up up, up, up up. 216 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: He threw one pitch down in the zone that I 217 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: think hit the dirt, But the rest of his pitches, 218 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 3: I don't know how many pitches he threw, maybe twenty 219 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: five pitches. Twenty pitches happened fast, and they're all up 220 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: in the zone. And so if you're a hitter, you 221 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 3: know you're gonna get something up and it's hitable, I'm 222 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 3: gonna go get it. I think they had such good 223 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: swings on him that there's no question in my mind 224 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: that he was tipping his pitches, and you know, you got. 225 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 6: A Miami team that is just super uber aggressive, dude. 226 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 6: They swung in almost every first pitch against Lozardo. I mean, 227 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 6: they're hacking, man, and they don't want to see that 228 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 6: breaking ball. 229 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 3: They want to see the fastball. If the fastball's coming 230 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 3: or whatever it is that they're looking, they're hacking at it, 231 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: and so it's got to get strained out. I was 232 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: encouraged by the velocity through one hundred miles an hour. 233 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: I mean, he was bringing the noise and his breaking 234 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 3: ball was, you know, fairly sharp at times. But it's 235 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: gotta get better and he's gonna have to He's gonna 236 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 3: have to make it an adjustment. 237 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: Jim, I want to get your thoughts in the bullpen 238 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: right after these words. 239 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 7: Godfather. I love the way that modern technology has changed 240 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 7: the way that we buy sell trade cards, even rip packs. 241 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 7: They're called slab packs, and they're on Arena Club. No 242 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 7: more shuffling through everything. The common cards are all over 243 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 7: the place. Stuff's getting folded out and all messed up. 244 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 7: Arena Club keeps it nice and tight in your digital showroom. 245 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 7: And then when you want that card and you want 246 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 7: to show it off. 247 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: What do you do? You just let Arena Club. 248 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 8: Know, let them know and grab it and take it 249 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 8: with you, show it off online. I think this is 250 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 8: huge just because the fact that you talked about cutting 251 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 8: the corners. You want to get a card that doesn't 252 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 8: break or doesn't have a problem with it, go right there, 253 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 8: Arena Club. They have everything you need. Easy money right 254 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 8: there for really really good, exceptional card. 255 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 7: After your pulls are revealed, they'll immediately be placed in 256 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 7: your vault for safe keeping or trading and selling. Right 257 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 7: now twenty percent off your first slap pack or card 258 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 7: purchase by going to arenaclub dot com slash values code 259 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 7: A's Arena Club dot com slash valve code foul for 260 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 7: twenty off your first purchase. 261 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: We are back, Jim. Where are you at in this bullpen? 262 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 3: Well? 263 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: I do think come trade deadline, it's going to be 264 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 4: an area they're going to have to address because you know, 265 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 4: they got like four leverage guys and they're getting mixed 266 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 4: results from them, and they're leaning heavily on them. I 267 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 4: love what I see of Alorado, so good. His you know, 268 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 4: triple digit on Sunday he was triple digits and you 269 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 4: could not locate that pitch any better. He was into 270 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 4: writings on the black no chance. It's it's exciting to 271 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 4: see it. Does stink you had to use them two 272 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 4: days in a row going into a big series in 273 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 4: New York when you didn't have to use them on Saturday. 274 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 4: Should not have had to use We should say, oh, 275 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 4: Ryan kirkt mean. 276 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 5: I think he just had a tough day. 277 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 3: You know. 278 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 4: And I do agree with Ruben that hitters, you know, 279 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: they'll dive a little bit at that breaking ball. I 280 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 4: remember years ago when Cole Hammill's developed that cutter to 281 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 4: kind of go in on righties because they would, you know, 282 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 4: they would, they would dive at the change up and 283 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 4: they would dive at sinker. And he just needed something 284 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 4: to go that way. And if Kirkering can, he's got that. 285 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: He does have that, maybe he just needs to scrub 286 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: it up and use it more. I still think he's 287 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 4: going to be an improved pitcher this year and and 288 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 4: have a good win. And I'm not ready to pronounce 289 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 4: the Romano signing a dud at all. I think he's 290 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 4: going through an adjustment period coming back from an injury. 291 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 4: It was encouraging that the Vello popped pretty good on Saturday. 292 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 4: Very accountable guy, seems like a very hard worker who 293 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 4: is resolved to fix this thing. And I know it 294 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 4: glares a little bit because it's early in the season. 295 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: I know it glares because Hoffmin's off to a good start. 296 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: But you know, I still I feel okay about that signing. 297 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 4: I mean, time will tell. It's a long, long season. 298 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 4: But I do think they're going to be thin down 299 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 4: there in leverage, and everybody kind of knows it, and 300 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 4: I expect that to be an area they address at. 301 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 5: The trade deadline. 302 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: But you know what, every contender addresses their bullpen at 303 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 4: the trade deadline, So what are we talking about. 304 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 5: It's happened that way for years. 305 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: I think that there's a it's disappointing right now, obviously, 306 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: because the bullpen has really been struggling, but they have 307 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: ability and they have personnel down there. They just have 308 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: to get better and they have to improve. I think 309 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 3: that they will. How much they will will depend. I mean, 310 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 3: and you know right now, Rob Thompson, I mean I 311 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: was thinking about this today because WIZARDA was at eighty 312 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: eight pitches when they pulled them in the seventh inning 313 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 3: and he was throwing the ball well. But Rob Thompson 314 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: has to find out and he's got to get those 315 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: guys ready. And what better time to find out about 316 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: where they are by then than to get him out 317 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: there and see what they can do and uh and 318 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: get them right. I mean, they've got to get the reps. 319 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: They got to put him in those those positions to 320 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: be able to do that, so he can find out 321 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 3: whether he can trust them and whether they one that 322 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: he can trust them, and two they can improve. So 323 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: he's going to keep running them out there until, you know, 324 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: until he proves you know, it might it may be 325 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: a month, it might be two months, and by whatever 326 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 3: it is, uh, he's going to keep running them out 327 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: there and find out whether these guys can really get 328 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 3: the job done. I think that they have the ability 329 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: to do it, but they also have to be smart. 330 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 3: And Kirkering has been in there long enough to know that. 331 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 3: You know, he's got to throw a slider or that's sweeper. 332 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 3: Whatever he throws, he's got execute it, and he's got 333 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: to get it down our way, and he's got to 334 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 3: make the pitch when he has to make the pitch 335 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: in the tight because that's gonna be his job and 336 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: he's gonna have to work his way through it. 337 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: Guys, it's Monday. 338 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: It's time for Best Week by Manco and Manco Manco 339 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: and Manco, the best of the best, Best Week by 340 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: Manco Manco, where we pick our best Phillies, player performance, 341 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: play whatever we want to pick. 342 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: Guys, do you have a best week mention? 343 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 5: Jim Wow? 344 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: A lot of gants. 345 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: Yea, they split against the Giants, they take two or 346 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: three of them Marlins, but you know. 347 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 4: A lot of candidates. Hat tip to Rojas on how 348 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 4: he's swung it over the weekend. Yeah, got tip price 349 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 4: and thought looking good in that leadoff Hale. But a 350 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 4: major hat to the man Co Manco's selection best of 351 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 4: the week, best of the best. 352 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 5: For me, Christopher Sanchez. 353 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 4: That was as we as we established on Friday, that 354 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 4: was Mouie de le Sioso. 355 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 5: I mean, twelve. 356 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 4: Strikeouts, ninety eight on the fastball and then just a brilliant, 357 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 4: dazzling change up in the shadows and getting those twelve strikeouts, 358 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 4: eleven of them finishing on change ups. So he threw 359 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 4: what ninety seven pitches and fifty two of them would 360 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 4: change ups. I think or fifty of them would change up, 361 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 4: So he threw fifty riddled me this. As they say, 362 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 4: if one throws fifty two change ups and that's the 363 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 4: that's the pitch you throw most that day. Does that 364 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 4: actually make your fastball your change up? If you're relying 365 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 4: that much, that's your changing pace. Your changing pace is 366 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: actually your fastball's boom. 367 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: We're getting a mathematician. 368 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 3: But you're getting philosophical. 369 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 8: I liked that. 370 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: Ye I did have a lot of topical man. I 371 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 3: had a. 372 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 4: Logic course in college, and that's you know. I wasn't 373 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 4: very good at that. 374 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 5: Todd, what do you got? 375 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: What do you got? I've got? 376 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna take Bryce Harper. I'm gonna take 377 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper best week. And I say that because of 378 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: something he said on Sunday in Saint Louis. In Saint Louis, 379 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: they go two and four in that road trip. The 380 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: offense is scuffling. I said, how do you think you're 381 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: swinging the bat right now? 382 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: Bryce? 383 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: And he goes, well, I think I hit the ball 384 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: hard in Atlanta. I think I hit the ball hard 385 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. This weekend didn't have a lot, didn't 386 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: really have anything to show for it. But I told 387 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Long the other day, I'm about you know, give 388 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: me about ten days and I'll be good. Day ten, 389 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: I believe, was on Wednesday, and he has hit He 390 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: hit three home runs this past week. He seems to 391 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: get be getting locked in to play. Bryce Harper the 392 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: last seven games, batting three twenty two doubles, three home runs, 393 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: nine RBIs a one point two two nine ops. 394 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: So, uh it just listen. 395 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: I've never come close to the big leagues obviously, so 396 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: anytime I cant I hear a player talk like that. 397 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I'm kind of getting close. Give me a 398 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: few days. I'm seeing better pitch, I'm seeing the ball better. 399 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna get locked in, and then he 400 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 1: actually does it. 401 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: To me, that's very impressive. 402 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: So I'm going with Bryce Harper my best week by 403 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: Manco and Manco. 404 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: Uh, that's very very good call. I'm gonna throw a 405 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: breaking ball on you guys here because I said one thing, 406 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go audible and I'm gonna go with 407 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: Bryson Stott for best of the best. Yeah, I'm gonna 408 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 3: go with Bryson Stott because I think he's done a 409 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 3: hell of a job in the leadoff slot. He's doing 410 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 3: exactly what he's supposed to be doing. I think on 411 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: Saturday he thought saw thirty seven pitches. Thirty seven pitches 412 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: in five plate appearances. That's insane. That's almost seven to 413 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 3: eighth And at bat he's doing exactly what you're supposed 414 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 3: to do. He's getting on a base, he's stealing bases, 415 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 3: he's doing a lot of great things. Made some great 416 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 3: defensive plays. Now on Sunday, got a little casual, ended 417 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: up making a pretty major blunder there, which is very uncharacteristic. 418 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: I think he's the best second basement in the league. 419 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 3: But this man has done a really good job in 420 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 3: a one hole. I like it. I like the fact 421 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 3: that he is looking healthy with his elbow. He's hitting 422 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 3: the ball low to left, high to right, which is 423 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 3: exactly what Rob Thompson's talked about. He's working counts. I hope, 424 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: I actually wish that he gets a chance to hit 425 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 3: in the one hole against the lefties. I don't think 426 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 3: Rob Thompson's going to allow him to do that yet, 427 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: but I'd like to see that. I really would, because 428 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: I think he's when he's confident and he feels comfortable 429 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 3: with the dish. He can handle left handers, he can 430 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 3: massage and ball to the left. He can work the counts, 431 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 3: he can see pitches, and I don't know. I like 432 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: the way he runs the bases man, he's a very 433 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 3: heavy base runner. I think he can do a lot 434 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: of things. I'm going to give him the best of 435 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 3: the best, manco best of the best for the week. 436 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 2: That's a great call. 437 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: Since so Bryson is now his last eight games started 438 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: all in the leadoff spot. That he's batting two ninety 439 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: four with a three forty two on bass. So that's 440 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: that's what you want. You mentioned all those pitches seen 441 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: on Saturday, Rubin Bryce Harper. Bryce Harper is a big 442 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: fan of leadoff hitter getting a lot of pitches. He's 443 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: talked about that. That's why he does not like to 444 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: hit leadoff. He likes to see pitches. So he likes 445 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: the guys he's a lot of pitches and Bryson after 446 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: the game on Saturday, he talked to him about and 447 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: he says, I I feel like it's my responsibility to 448 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: make sure Trey, Bryce, Kyle, everybody else in that lineup 449 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: sees as many pitches in that first plate appearance as 450 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: possible to kind of get them ready for their their 451 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: at bats. So that was that, You're right, that was 452 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: that was impressive. 453 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 4: I was I was going to mention that. So seeing 454 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 4: pitches the benefit is twofold. You're grinding that guy on 455 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 4: the mound, you're wearing them down, maybe knock him out 456 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: of the game, but your mates are seeing a lot 457 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 4: of what he has. 458 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was good calls, guys, good calls. 459 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: So let's look ahead here, let's look ahead toward this 460 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: upcoming week. Well, first, let's look ahead to center field 461 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: with the Phillies. Brandon Marsha went on the injured list today, 462 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: backdated three days. Right. I guess Johann Rojas is going 463 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: to get some more time. He was that that that's 464 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: we're all expecting, right. I can't imagine Cal Stevenson is 465 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: going to be being there too much? Can they kind 466 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: of hold the fort down with Johan Rossi? Other than 467 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: that three strikeout game on Monday, he has been okay. 468 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: He has been okay. Do you not agree? 469 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 5: Had a good weekend? 470 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: I thought he hit a lot of fastballs, but I 471 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 4: still think he struggles with spend. But you know what, 472 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 4: you'll take it. I'm sure it was really good for 473 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 4: his confidence and he's going to see some time here 474 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 4: over the next few days with with marsh Out and 475 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 4: marsh had been struggling in a big way. I would imagine, 476 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 4: you know, this is going to provide the team, not 477 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 4: that they needed it, needed needed an excuse, but it 478 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 4: provided them a way to get him to triple A 479 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 4: maybe at the end for some rehab time and a 480 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 4: chance maybe to work on some things and build some 481 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 4: confidence before coming back. 482 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 5: I don't know, do you see that happening? 483 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,239 Speaker 3: Yes, And I think it's a great thing because a 484 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 3: man needs at bats and needs to get him get 485 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 3: himself right. And if he can do it at that 486 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 3: level while he's rehabing, then there's really no there's no 487 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: pressure to on him. You know that those at bats 488 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 3: really don't mean anything other than getting him straightened. And 489 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 3: I think he really needs it. And uh, I think 490 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 3: it's a it's a good way for him to exhale 491 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 3: to what is he open his last twenty six something 492 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 3: that's some crazy number you like, you get exhale, get 493 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: a little confidence.

He goes 504 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 4: there on a rehab assignment, and I'm sure it just 505 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 4: plays on your psyche a little bit better so. 506 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: Than Jimmy mentioned Johann with the breaking ball, and he 507 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: his hit for sixty two this season against fastballs, won 508 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: sixty seven this season against the breaking ball. 509 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 2: So yeah, that is. 510 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: A Mets I'm sure know that they know that, and 511 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 3: so the Cups. 512 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 5: It's also known as amaro itis. 513 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 3: That's correct, Mom, I'm coming home.
