1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Hi, this is jacom Ute. 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Philly Show. 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 3: Hi, everybody, Ruben Tomorrow, Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todd Z Lucky. 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 4: It's the Philly Show. 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 3: It's Friday, March twenty first, twenty twenty five. A lot 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 3: of news happening in Clearwater. The big news right at 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 3: the top, of course, is that Garret Stubbs got optioned 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 3: to Triple A on Thursday. Raphael Marshawn is now going 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 3: to be the backup catcher opening the twenty twenty five season. 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 3: But some other news we want to talk about as well, Jim, 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 3: and that is Matt Strom felt better today. He threw 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 3: a bullpen session yesterday Thursday, and Ranger Suarez also is 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 3: feeling a little bit better with his back. 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 5: Jim. 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: We talked with Dave Dombrowski earlier Thursday before he went 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: down to Northport for the Braves, and he says he 17 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: still thinks there's a chance that Ranger Swarez. 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 4: Can be ready by opening day. 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 3: Still, it's not a you know, matter of fact that 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: he's going to open the season on the injured list 21 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 3: or anything like that. So it seems like some good 22 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: news on Strom, seems like some good news on Suarez. 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 4: Still a lot to be decided. Nothing's been decided. 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: But let's talk about Garrett Stubbs and and Raphael Marshan. 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 4: Not not a surprise, I guess in your mind. 26 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 6: No, not a surprise just because of the UH. I 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 6: guess what should call the business of baseball. That's a 28 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 6: premium position in the middle of the diamond. It's a tough, 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 6: rigorous position, and you need to protect protect your depth. 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 6: And that's what the Phillies did there. Garrett Stubbs had 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 6: a minor league option. The Phillies have utilized it. Rafael 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 6: Marchan did not have a minor league option. They did 33 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 6: not want to risk losing him on waivers if they 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 6: tried to get him a triple A and you know, 35 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 6: they would have lost him. 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: They might have had to trade him, who knows. 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 6: But you needed to preserve your upper level catching depth 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 6: because it's it's such an important position. 39 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: You're thin there. 40 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 6: So Garrett Stubbs, to me, is still a very important 41 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 6: part of this Phillies team. He's just playing these games 42 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 6: seventy miles away in Lehigh Valley, So that's I don't 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 6: think anybody's surprised by it, you know, this is an 44 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 6: organization that once upon a time and I don't even 45 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 6: like to talk about this, and I'd like to talk 46 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 6: about injuries, but you know in nineteen seventy they lost 47 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 6: two catchers in one game and they had to go 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 6: to their third string catcher in one inning, within like 49 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 6: four pitches in San Francisco, Tim McCarver and Mike Ryan 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 6: went down. 51 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: So you just need that depth. And they and you know, 52 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: it's a long way. 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 6: To Edwardo tayit and you know between there between Tayee, 54 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 6: who's gonna play in the low minors and Stubbs and 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 6: march On is like a golf and you need this 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 6: catching depth. 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: They've preserved it. 58 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 6: It's a tough break for Garrett Stubbs, but I know 59 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 6: you spoke to him and I was able to check 60 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 6: out that interview and his attitude is unbelievable. 61 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: This guy is a total professional. 62 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 6: I mean, you guys had this interview all set up 63 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 6: and he gets very difficult news today and he says, no, 64 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 6: it's still doing the interview. 65 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: To me, that's a professional. That's a man's man. 66 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 6: And you know a lot of people would say, ah, 67 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 6: he's a media friendly. 68 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: No, that's not media friendly. 69 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 6: That's fan friendly, because you know, the media is just 70 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 6: the middleman connecting to the fan. This is a guy 71 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 6: who opened up today to you about how he felt 72 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 6: about having to go to the miners, and he spoke 73 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 6: to the fans, and now the fans have an idea 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 6: what's going on in his mind, in his heart, and 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 6: that's what you call he's a professional athlete. 76 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: But he's a professional professional athlete. 77 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 6: And I love some of the things I heard, the 78 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 6: attitude he's going to go down there with. And one 79 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 6: of the things that really jumped out at me is 80 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 6: how he hopes to help the guy like Mick Abel. 81 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 6: Can you imagine if he helps a guy like Mick 82 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 6: g Abel take a big step forward, what that will 83 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 6: mean form Mick Gable, for the Phillies, for the franchise, 84 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 6: for the fans. You know, I look at Garrett Stubbs, 85 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 6: very very bright guy, very articulate. Anybody who's ever heard 86 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 6: him talking, will hear him talking a minute, knows. 87 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: That this is the guy who could be a pitching 88 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: coach someday. 89 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 6: You know, with these pitching staffs of coaching staffs at 90 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 6: the major league level, there's two and three guys handling 91 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 6: the pitchers right, the way he gained plans, the way 92 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 6: he communicates the guy who could. 93 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: You know when his playing career is over. I think 94 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: he can still play for a long time. 95 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 6: But I think he can make contributions to a major 96 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 6: league team as on somebody's pitching staff, not a pitcher, 97 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 6: as somebody's pitching coaching staff, game planning staff, whatever you 98 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 6: want to call it. So the way he has handled 99 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 6: this really professional. 100 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: And he think and I meant this when I said 101 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 3: this to him, I said, do you ever come into 102 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: the ballpark just I'd be like, I just don't feel 103 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: like talking anybody the jim, because I mean, you know, 104 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: like some like I think, like most people, at least 105 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: for me, some days I'm just like, oh man, I'm 106 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: just I'm not I'm not in the mood. 107 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: I just whatever happened at home or whatever, I take. 108 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: It to the ballpark and it just But but Garrett 109 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: Stubbs is constantly upbeat. And that's why I do think 110 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 3: the the ability for him to go down there and 111 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 3: still contribute to the big league team even if he's 112 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: not on the big league team, by maybe working with 113 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 3: some of these young pictures like Mick Abel. I mean, 114 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: you know, Garrett Stubbs, you know, behind the scenes, hard worker, 115 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 3: great prepare, uh you know, really good at helping his pictures. 116 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: And he's also just a good con like a hype 117 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: man almost. And I feel like if anybody could work 118 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: with somebody or with the picture that's maybe struggling with 119 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: their confidence, Garrett Stubbs his guy. But yeah, he handled 120 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 3: everything today so incredibly well. You know, when we first 121 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: talked to him in the morning, he talked about, listen, 122 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: I don't know if I could have change anybody's mind 123 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: with no matter how I played, And Dave Dombrowski basically 124 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: confirmed that. When we talked to him afterwards, He's like, yeah, 125 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: he there's really nothing more he could have done this 126 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: spring to win this job. And so it's kind of 127 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 3: a weird spot to be in knowing that no matter 128 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 3: how well you play, the cards are kind of stacked 129 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 3: against you. But the fact that he was so he 130 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: took it so well, you know, he he he left 131 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: the ballpark today. He's going to go over to the 132 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: complex tomorrow, he said, and start work. You know, he's 133 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: not gonna you know, take his whatever I think he 134 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: can get, Like what two or three days, Jim do 135 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: two hours, yeah, two hours. 136 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 137 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: So he's he says he's gonna get over there and 138 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: and get to work, which I which again says a 139 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: lot about him. 140 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: He does. 141 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 4: Yeah. 142 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: Absolutely. So anyway, we had this and. 143 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 6: The flip side of this, Todd is, you know, hey, 144 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 6: Rafael Marshawn gets a chance, and Garrett is flat out said, 145 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 6: Rafael Marchauan's a hect of a player. He's happy for him. 146 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 6: Their friends. You know, Stubbs has mentored him and I 147 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 6: talked to Marshaun about that a couple of weeks ago 148 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 6: and he was very complimentary of Stubbs how he's helped 149 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 6: him learned to game plan for pictures. So it's an 150 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 6: opportunity for marchh On. It comes at the expense of 151 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 6: Garrett Stubbs, but Garrett Stubb remains very crucial to the 152 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 6: big picture here. A lot can happen over one hundred 153 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 6: and sixty two games, a lot can happen. So very 154 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 6: healthy attitude from Garrett Stubbs. And it's kind of a 155 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 6: decision that the Phillies had to make. It's like Rubin 156 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 6: said the other day, sometimes you have to be selfish 157 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 6: as an organization. They had to be selfish here, they 158 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 6: had to preserve their catching depth. 159 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it would have just been the wrong move. You know, 160 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: you like you know, you said Stubbs had made the team. 161 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: Somebody goes down and now you're really digging deep into 162 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 3: the farm system or you're just kind of scrambling.

I mean, I know, I think everybody 244 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: kind of speculator or thought coming to camp knowing what 245 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: you have an option, Marshawn does not. 246 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 5: Was it still kind of like crap, here's the tap 247 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 5: on the shoulder or. 248 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's things no matter what, even if you 249 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: have I don't know if I had the expectation, but 250 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: I knew the reality of the situation, right, So no 251 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: matter what, when it when it does happen, it stings 252 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: and you always feel like, all right, no matter what, 253 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna perform as 254 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: best as I can and maybe it will change the minds. 255 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: I don't think there are any minds that change here. 256 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: I think there was a business decision that had to 257 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: be made, and like I said there before earlier today, 258 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: this is Marshaan's a great player, so I fully expect 259 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: him to go out there, perform and help the team win. 260 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: But you know, in my last three years, I've done 261 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: just that is do nothing but help this team win, 262 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: whether it be on the field off the field. 263 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: That's been my mindset from the very beginning. 264 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: So there was always the thought in the back of 265 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 2: my head, you know, we've had a really good thing 266 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: going and I've I've helped this team win, So maybe 267 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: they'll see they'll see that and that will be the 268 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: decision that's made at the end of the day. But 269 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: now we're sitting here and this is a decision that's 270 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: made and we're starting to. 271 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 5: Help the team win anyway we can. Yeah, I mean 272 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 5: Dave dem Breski kind of said the same thing. It 273 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 5: was a business. 274 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: It's just and it doesn't necessarily indicate you basically said that, 275 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: like we've it was just tough. You know, with the 276 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 3: option situation, the organizational depth situation, that there's really almost 277 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: nothing you could have done just because of that situation. So, 278 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: as a guy who's been in the game for several years, 279 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: you're the player rep for the union, but you're obviously 280 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: a super important piece of the clubhouse. Else, like the 281 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: chemistry of the clubhouse is it just kind of a 282 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: harsh reminder of just man, this is a. 283 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 5: Brutal, brutal business. 284 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 285 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: I think that there's different moments that I've had throughout 286 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: my ten years in professional baseball where you I've tappened 287 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 2: to me multiple times and you know, add this one 288 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: to the list. But I've seen it happen to other 289 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: players as well, where the business kind of just bites 290 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: in the button that ends up being a decision that's 291 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 2: made and sometimes here the get the crap end of 292 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 2: the stick, if you will. So this is just one 293 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: of those moments, and I don't I take it for 294 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: what it is at face value. I don't think that 295 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: there was any ill will by the organization. In fact, 296 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 2: I know there wasn't. There was a business decision that 297 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: they made. If I was in their shoes, I might 298 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 2: make the same decision in that same sentence. Like I 299 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 2: said before, we've done a lot of winning, so there 300 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: also could have been the decision gone the other way. 301 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 5: And that's why I come into. 302 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: Spring training knowing the situation, but also understanding that maybe 303 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 2: there will be a different outcome. 304 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 5: But now we're in this situation. What was their action 305 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 5: to some of your teammates. I mean, you know guys 306 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 5: that you have really bonded. 307 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 3: With over the years. J did you talk to J. T. 308 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: Cox Schwartz is in this morning heart for all those guys. 309 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: I mean, you guys are like you guys are buds. 310 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know they they're down on the dumps about 311 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: it too. I think that I know the feeling of 312 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: last year went with uh D, fad or release or 313 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it from the team, and 314 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: it really was a gut punch to the to the 315 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: locker room and didn't necessarily take it very well. But 316 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: once again, just decisions that are made, and those are 317 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: just tough decisions. And I know that, you know, guys 318 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: at the front office don't want to make those decisions, 319 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, they're the ones 320 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: that have to make them. But yeah, our rest of 321 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: the locker room was they took it hard.

Do you have to adapt? 540 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 2: Like? 541 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 5: What's that? What's that like? 542 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: Funny enough, I'm I'm not entirely sure. It's It's been 543 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: a few years since I've been back, but I think 544 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: that as far as I've heard, this organization does a 545 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: really good job of giving the Triple A team the 546 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: same resources or similar to resources as the big leagues, 547 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: so that when they come up from Triple A to 548 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 2: the big leagues it's a more seamless transition. So I 549 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: fully plan on those resources being there and then using 550 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: those resources to show some of those guys how things 551 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 2: operate in Philadelphia so that when they do go they 552 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: have a full expectation of what they're going to be, uh, 553 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: you know, seeing out of Cougham, out of Lowie, out 554 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 2: of JT, so that they can perform at their best 555 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: because if those things are taken care of, then you 556 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: can just stop their pitch. 557 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 5: And same with the position players. 558 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: You know, there's there's different things that happen throughout a 559 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 2: day and how the team operates that I feel like 560 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: a position player would like to know before going up there. 561 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day. I you know, 562 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 2: down in in piggy Land, we're gonna have a good time. Yeah, 563 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: we're gonna have We're gonna have fun, and we're gonna 564 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 2: win a lot of games. Uh, And get everyone on 565 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 2: the mindset of you know, we're here to play for 566 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: the Phills and whether that be playing and performing to 567 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 2: a level where you're a trade piece, or whether you're 568 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: playing and performing at a levels where they're like, Okay, 569 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: we want to bring this guy up. 570 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: Whatever that may be. 571 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 2: You know, the trade piece will still help the Phillies 572 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: get somebody and that is really important. 573 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 5: And then performing in order. 574 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 2: For the team to see you as somebody they want 575 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: to be in the big legies. 576 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 3: Also, I would think it's one of the younger guys too, 577 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 3: like at one of the younger pitchers, just to have 578 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: you to kind of bend your ear a little bit, yeah, 579 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: and talk them up if they're struggling. You know, a 580 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: guy like Mick Able to me would be a great example. 581 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 3: I don't know how much you're going to get to 582 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 3: work with him, but you know, former first round pick, 583 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 3: you struggle a little bit the past few years. I mean, 584 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 3: maybe you can kind of connect with him and pump 585 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: him up. I mean, that's that's the part. 586 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm an open book. I'm an open book, 587 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: so you know, guys know that about me. So I 588 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: hope that they feel comfortable and also feel like I 589 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: am a guy that they want to talk to because 590 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: they might not want to. You know, I would never 591 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: push somebody some information that they don't want. You know, 592 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: if they don't want to know anything then or hear 593 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: my opinion on something, then that that's all good with me. 594 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 2: You know, whatever makes you perform best do that. And 595 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: I think that for some guys, you know, you just 596 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 2: said it right there, make Able former first round er, 597 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: that's a lot of pressure. 598 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 5: And I don't know make very well. 599 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 2: I've known him from a spring training level, so the 600 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 2: weeks that we're here, I've gotten to know him, but 601 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: I don't know what his day to day looks like. 602 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 2: So I'll get to know Mick and see kind of 603 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: hit how he operates, and as well. 604 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 5: As other guys. 605 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of talks about some really good 606 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: players down there that how isn't necessarily panned out or 607 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: gone to see their talent come to fruition at the 608 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 2: big league level, So you know, I think everyone's an 609 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: individual case, so everyone operates differently, just like they do 610 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: at the big leag level. You can't treat Bryce Harber 611 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: the same as Alec Bohm, the same as me, the 612 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 2: same as JT. 613 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 5: That Everyone's got a different personality, So you just feel it. 614 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: Out, do you think, I mean, I guess just you'd 615 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 3: rather be up here, You'd rather be JT's back, of course. 616 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 3: But now you're going to get to play more regularly. 617 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 3: You talked about some swing changes you made in the offseason. 618 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 3: I guess that's if the silver lining is it's an 619 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: opportunity to play regularly. He's pitching and maybe fine tune 620 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 3: some of that work. Do you look at that way 621 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 3: as well or not? 622 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: Sure? 623 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm looking forward to playing, no doubt. 624 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: There's nothing that would create the narrative that I would 625 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 2: rather be playing in Triple A than not playing in 626 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: the big leagues. At any point, you want to be 627 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: in the big leagues, no matter what the situation is, 628 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 2: So I hope to. 629 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 5: Get back there as soon as possible. 630 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 2: I also, I am going to take that time playing 631 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: more to try to refine some of my offense. Playing 632 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 2: in consistent playing time is a huge piece of rhythm 633 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: and hitting. So I'm looking forward. I am looking forward 634 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: to that, and I think it'll be fun to play 635 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 2: with other guys that I've been in the big leagues 636 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 2: for quite some time.

It was last week, right, 692 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 3: just a few days ago for all phl y dot com. 693 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 3: A great story. What can you when fans go there 694 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 3: to read it? What should they expect to see? What 695 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: should they what will they learn about Marshawn? 696 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 4: Did they? 697 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know he's a kid. 698 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 6: Who signed ten years ago as a sixteen year old 699 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 6: out of Venezuela. He was a middle infielder, much like 700 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 6: Carla Fleruiz, and when the Salagustinelli Phillies international scouts saw him, 701 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 6: they didn't think he had a future in the middle 702 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 6: of the infield. But you know, they liked so much 703 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 6: about his baseball ability. They said, hey, you ever catch? 704 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 6: He went behind the plate and he was like a natural. 705 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: So he he's done a great job. 706 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 6: He's really become a man in the Philly system, having 707 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 6: ten years now in the miners, a little bit up 708 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,719 Speaker 6: and down between Lehigh Valley and the big leagues. He 709 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 6: has not taken an apartment in three years. He lives 710 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 6: out of a suitcase. He's always been in hotels. He 711 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 6: checks in, he checks out when the team was on 712 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 6: the road. So now it looks like maybe he can 713 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 6: finally get an apartment. But a really interesting kid, amazing 714 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 6: the way he has developed up his grasp of the 715 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,479 Speaker 6: English language. Is a kid who spoke very little English 716 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 6: when he came to the States, and he really put 717 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 6: a premium on that because he wants to bond with 718 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 6: his pitching staff, not just Spanish speakers and he learned 719 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 6: a lot of English, he said, watching Gray's Anatomy and 720 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 6: listening to the comedy of Kevin Hart. So he gets 721 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 6: his chance and once again him and Garrett Stubbs are 722 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 6: good friends. And he really in that story he credits 723 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 6: He credits Garrett Stubbs for being such a good mentor 724 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 6: to him. So, yeah, that's over at all City phl Y. 725 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome.
