PHILLIES 3 WINS vs ATL | KYLE SCHWARBER 3 HRs IN TORONTO | BRYCE HARPER HURT?! | Brodes Clips

[Music] [Applause] roads media it's been a minute and it's weird to say that the last 5 days have been extremely painful I can't thank everybody enough for the kind messages and the condolences and more importantly I can't thank all of you enough who sent the gdo family all of your thoughts and prayers over the last 5 days because as a community we need to Rally together for them they are the greatest human beings in the world and I can't stress that enough nobody deserves to go through what they are going through currently Maddie and Johnny were A+ people Maddie was one of my best friends in this entire world it's unfathomable it is so difficult it is heartbreaking it is gut-wrenching and I can't stop thinking about it so I'm not necessarily sure how the next few days are going to transpire I don't know how the next few months are going to transpire I'd imagine it's going to be a lot of suffering and nobody deserves to go through this whatsoever it's hard it's horrible it seems like a nightmare every single second of every single day I don't know how else to put it but I just want to stress the importance of the thoughts the love and making sure you're keeping the gdo family in mind and we'll keep it like that for [Music] now I don't really want to expand on it much more it's just terrible it's just terrible so I'm not necessarily sure how to even transition out of something like that to talk baseball but I'm just going to do it I'm going to rip the Band-Aid off and in in a way see if the next 25 minutes or so can be an escape by just talking about the game and Maddie and Johnny Johnny would call in all the time and talk about how the Phillies should bunt he'd call in as John from South Jersey and only me and him knew who it was and he talk about the fight and fails and he say this team needs to bun and he meant it too he wasn't just saying that to piss me off because he knows I'm so anti but he would say the team needs to manufacture runs especially in Extra Innings when there's someone on second base and they start off the inning with the free pass why don't you move him over to third base and uh it's it's just it's I'm unbelievable and Maddie would tune in and he'd take snapshots or excuse me Snapchats of me on on the radio or on the podcast and he'd disagree with something I said and he'd he'd start the Snapchat off and then about 5 seconds in he'd say shut up and turn it off and then send it my way and know what you know busting Stones as friend do I'll miss it I'll miss it I would love to hear another shut up again there's nothing I want in this world more than those scenarios to play out again but um okay so we'll start here in regards to baseball impressive Series against the Braves we haven't spoke since then you're telling me they won three games you're telling me me they went and took care of business and not only took care of business but had to fight back in a couple of those outings game one you're down 4 nothing and the way that you got started was a Brandon Marsh three-run Jack cuz briyan snitker left Charlie Morton in way too long and you took advantage and by the way I know this was a little bit back there so I apologize that we have to go all the way back to to game one against the Braves in a Four game series but bear with me it's worth it okay I promise you it's worth it because of how great the results were not only did Brandon Marsh of all people take Charlie Morton to to Mars okay Nick castanos hits a two-run Jack to take the lead you shut it down Nick costos at one particular time this season I thought the MVP of the team was Trey this isn't just we're living in the now and I'm absorbing recency biased you could look at the longevity of how Nick has taken the field every single day and has been consistent for a long ass time the highs of Trey Turner let's not forget massive but the lows are devastating the defense sucks and the injury costed him a lot of weeks and a lot of games missed Nick trots out there every day and right now is a machine and he's been consistent for a while now but he's even coming up clutch and large and walking off the Braves in game four when EST stez is battling in extra innings for two innings what I loved most about what transpired against Atlanta was the atmosphere we were looking for attitude from this club and for the first time in a long damn time it smelled like October they were playing with that edge that we've been desperately screaming for and as soon as a huge matchup against a big time rival and let's be honest that was a series for the division and you punch him in the mouth when you're down and you win two clutch games in epic comeback fashion they were down two nothing in game four you think it's over you think it's dead you think the team walks away satisfied with the split because mathematically speaking you're in great control of the division but no no no no no no remember it was niki3 RBI I tried something there it wasn't really clicking for me Nicki double Nicki bombs Nicki two bags niki3 RBI that's trash I'm sorry I'm out of rhythm I'll get back I promise but Nick puts the whole team on his back and he's strapping up the backpack going all right what do you want you want double or do you want what do you want what do you want I can give it to you anywhere you want okay I'll give you the long ball I'll give you the double you want the single how do you want it please I'll give it to you uh there are some concerns here though there are some concerns here Bryce Harper does not look right first off when he's swinging and he has to drop the bat because his wrist or his elbow I don't care what Rob Thompson says quite frankly I don't care what Bryce Harper says I remember talking to Tim mcmanis about this when it comes to the Eagles and he said don't listen to what they do excuse me wrong wrong don't listen to what they say watch what they do don't listen to what the Philly say absorb what's going on on the field Bryce Harper ain't Right the dude hasn't homered in forever now I don't know what the fix is I'd say try and sit him down for a little bit he says he's good he wants to be out there he wants to battle through it quite frankly I'm willing based off of what they did against Atlanta and how they stole the division with that Series win I'm cool with giving them a little cushion because you need Bryce but even if it does come with a price tag of maybe a loss here or there you need Bryce this this Bry not going to cut it I'm not trying to be an but it's not going to cut it so I'm worried about pry I need power from the guy boom when he swung and hurt his hand what's up with that and then Nick casos got hit by a pitch and he was removed that's the least of my concerns of the three but you just never know Trey Turner sliding he got banged up a couple different time on the base pads whether it was him shaking out his hand or wasn't there a sequence where maybe he hit into somebody's leg Now's the Time because of how awful it looks I'm not always willing to play the precautionary route sometimes they do it too much and they're too soft about it price can't even hold on to the bat if now's not the time to actually consider giving him a few days off so he can recharge and I don't want to hear for a second that that won't do anything maybe not look maybe not but if the alternative is to ask him to take the diamond every day and to take hacks like that where the bat flies to the dirt cuz he doesn't have the strength to actually hold on to it I'm willing to take a chance even if he takes six days off seven days off I don't care I'm willing to do it right now and I'll hold the team accountable where sure I might sacrifice a win or two but I still need you to win games meaning I'm just throwing out random numbers but if there's seven games and you go four and three instead of five and two fine you can't go three and four you can't go two and five and then all of a sudden you come back to me and go well bro you said you sacrifice a win yeah you still got to do a decent job here because why are we paying you Trey why are we paying you JT why are we paying you why are we paying you Bryson why are we paying you any of these guys and remember at the at the time of this like wheeler would get a start Nola would get a start you got to still win those games so instead of five- two you can go four and three but you can't go three and four you can't go two and five [Music]
