Ranger Suarez Dominates. J.T. Realmuto Crushes. The Phillies Are Back! | Anthony Gargano Show

[Music] [Music] hello Philadelphia I'm Bruce Buffer it's time for the Anthony gorano show good morning morning good morning everybody well a happy Monday to all across the Delaware Valley this is it man the uh last Monday of August as we get ready for a Labor Day weekend and oh they're back yes before kickoff for real all of a sudden on a steamy weekend in the nation's Heartland the Phillies our fighting Phils are back they returned to their form so let's rewind Friday night taywan walker who I think will get every filled upia sports fan to agree should never see him again gets just simply destroyed Friday night he's just completely annihilated and that set the stage for a worrisome Saturday and Sunday well Saturday comes and the Phillies behind JT real muto's two home runs JT they go 20 they just start wrecking them right wrecking their offense it was incredible and so they bang out 18 hits they score 11 runs and probably the most important was Ranger Suarez the ranger looked terrific six Innings only four hits one run one block he uh struck out six 46 of 72 pitches were strikes including strike one on H the majority of hitters that he faced that's when you know Ranger is doing well right when he strike one it means a difference now again to come back against that lineup you know how great that lineup is in Kansas City right Garcia hit a home run yesterday Bobby Whit is just ridiculous pasquantino is uh leads first baseman or among first baseman in uh riy in the American League savador Perez just mashes right hits for big Power had a home run over the weekend annihilated Walker right they got Melendez who hit a home run they go at you right that's a deep Royal lineup they have great offense they play the game smartly although a little weird over the weekend for them all that said Ranger back and he looked great again strike one he had great command he was effortless he looked like the ranger that we all know which really hardened you and then yesterday oh my God they do it again at this time they beat up uh Seth Lugo who remember Lugo was had the best first half of any pitcher in the American League was terrific he struggled a little bit after the All-Star break Phillies just beat him up man the last two it's funny they they scored 22 runs over the last uh over the two games 22 runs 32 hits and they did it against two good pitchers Brady singer is a good pitcher he's not SLO so they hit up they hit around siger and they hit around Lugo and really bash him up and down so the Phillies offense back and it was interesting because I think like everybody else I was cursing topper like I get we're in a big stretch you got Houston coming in for three and then you got Atlanta for four at home yesterday when a lot of came out after JT hits the two home runs and he sits him for stubs I I was like oh d man what are you doing what are you doing and uh stubs goes four for four to smack to smack me right in the face and it's funny because uh Rob Thompson gets criticized for a manager that's got a first place team he gets criticized at a high level right as especially since he's been there for two years two playoff runs and he just he does he gets he's they're on him constantly they got off Charlie early in his career when he was here in Philadelphia Charlie got it a lot and then once 07 happens and then ' 08 that was it the love affair was on interestingly and I kind of want to discuss this with the guys topper the love affair still not there I don't know if he's got to win it if that works but look I I found myself grousing yesterday over JT I'm like come on man like he just hit two home runs come on you know let's go you got an off day he's going to be off on Wednesday because they have a day game so I'm thinking you play him through Tuesday you give him off Wednesday and then he's back uh you know for the weekend for against Atlanta maybe get him off a Saturday but you know I listen the fact that he hit the two home runs threw guys out he had a great weekend it was great to kind of Welcome JT back and just the offense in general good at bats Marsh had a good at bat a couple of good at bats so it was good to see like it it was it felt like the Phillies offense this is who they are this is the team that you remember over the last two games against a good opponent so you can't say well it's the Nationals that's a good opponent that they did that to so like I said we got three with Houston tonight tomorrow Wednesday at four and then four with Atlanta crucial stretch and the Phillies take a two or three Kansas City means a ton we got some Eagle stuff for you because again it's it's on a week from Friday night is the opener is that crazy we got cutdown day tomorrow Zack Burman will join us a little bit to talk about uh what the roster is looking at how it's shaping up I got a thing on offense that I want to throw at you guys in a little bit let's welcome the crew JP John Zapata VG V is Greg Caputo uh we you say fellas they're back back baby back you got good smile love this this is what BB all abouts and down Peaks and valleys let's go love JT oh man let let's rewind the Thursday Brandon Mars on Fire Let's rewind the Thursday here's let's go our man VG why what's the matter that's basball that's basb they're done now they're back they've been recharged we are the most mic City on the planet locked down except for that Ruiz he's a I would mind not seeing him in looks like kiring I thought pitched real well over the weekend yeah I was excited about it I'm like we got a there's no way tyon Walker can take the M he's scheduled for Friday against and Atlanta there's no way the world he could pitch and I mean Kobe's fine you know he's got control he doesn't he doesn't walk a lot of people yeah you rather see Walker over I rather no I don't want to see Walker but I call Phillips back who's got more of the noodle arm is it I read at Phillips than Aller yes I would rather have S who's got more noodle arm is it Allard or is it Kenny picket oh my God bro that's a great C JP we gotta see we gotta get him in the velocity yeah yeah I it's funny every time Allard throws I'm go like especially when it's a right-handed guy with power every time he pits to Perez I'm like or wit it's like you know he kind of reminds me a little bit guys remember Matt Moore a couple years ago yeah kind of reminds me a little bit of him that soft arm that left KNE to yeah the Lefty slot oh can't break the pain of glass yeah you know listen you know that's Jamie moer yeah lasted another five years just changing speeds look it still works you change speeds to you know from 89 to 72 and still a change of speed yeah changes the way you look it was okay for five yeah I'm fine with alard I'm good either way it doesn't matter these guys just match when you putting up 11 spots every night throw anyone with Taiwan I was I was very upset when the lineup came out yesterday I was I was I I was like no man come on where's JT at what you doing on a Sunday can't you want you want the G like I wanted that game yesterday because I wanted to win this series and and that's that was my argument yeah I to why and topper saw Garrett stub show up at the clubhouse Little Swagger looking refreshed and said you know what this stubs time stubs time stubs a strong stash by the way four for four almost a cycle like that they had a drill them they're so where he's going to hit a home run they drw get out the way stubs how about Bobby three of 13 I know it's weird this these pictures even though they can be inconsistent it seems like when they face these St s their approach is good otani's a little off balance with them they like no one's really mashed them Aaron judge mashed them but other than that they attack these Superstars pretty well I think their approach is good yeah I I mean listen I I think it's more coincidence than anything else but except for wheeler except for wheeler I mean wheeler wheeler and Nola and again you know maybe could say the same thing about Sanchez San rer look good well I thought rager looked great I mean I thought rager that was the best of the weekend as great as was the bats reappearing having Ranger pitch the way he did that was the greatest thing I saw all weekend more than the home runs and the 22 runs because he looked like himself right he gives you six Innings and only four hits and he just can't guys off balance but he's dealing right he gives you he's keeps you off balance man yeah right you're you're guessing first pitch strike and he was painting he was he was terrific man and we always talk about what's the difference between now and the beginning parts of the Season well the big thing is obviously starting pitching Ranger swad is being part of that rotation as well makes you feel so much more comfortable then you push Christopher San extra day man you need you need he it's all about the playoff run yes and in the playoff run he's your number three starter yeah so and he's your guy that's going to pitch at home he's your guy that's just got that unflappable playoff kind of feel right never nervous never antsy never on edge even killed he's so vital to this rck gives con confidence to everybody yeah what's matter no he is I mean if Ranger's not Ranger no that was the whole thing I many times we say it on the show the thing is all about Ranger Suarez listen at some point you knew they're gonna get their bats back yes I mean they just rake I mean it's who they are they have a a really good lineup at some point they're going to hit it's going to come down to Ranger health and that game three and they Bullpen yeah the six strikeouts nice like he he looked under under control he looked like himself he did Brad Mars we've been brand Brad Mars I got flyers on the head Brandon Mars we've been killing him last 14 days he's been 310 with 14 total bases soeks I thought he had a really good weekend in that his at bats were much better I I mean like you can go down the lineup you could see their you could see their bats they bat they they're at bats were quality mhm you know and again two good pitchers look singer is good and so Lugo Lugo had a great first half he's cooled off obviously the second half but he's a good pitcher and he throw he's got nine pitches Lugo so he's also a half a junk guy got nine pitches he's got nine he throws nine pitches he throws what is the point of he throws my pitches he throws four different breaking balls oh my God how did I miss that that nugget that's a good nugget by you he he has four and he throws them all right so he he's got nine pitches and now you would think that's a bad match up for the Phillies yes right although historically we we have been good against Seth Lugo but you know what I'm understand struggling against these breaking balls you're throw you have when you throw four different kinds of breaking balls against a team that's a dead red team that leads you to believe so I I was excited the fact that they able to get the Lugo that they were able to just kind of you know their approach not ballpark you expect 11 spots to go up on like no no I mean it was hot yesterday wind was blown out but that's not a hitter's friendly part so it was it was just a good felt good man so good I'm going down tonight come out I'll be yeah Ah that's awesome no one better boo them down there tonight no no no now now now it's good yeah we're all good how do you think the crowd's gonna be tonight you we're like I can see be a sellout I think I could see it being back yeah I could see like may like yeah I could see it back the fact that they go to Kansas City they survived this trip three and three man God thank God I mean honestly I I was hoping for two and four yeah so I get three and three I feel like on the top I'm on the top of the moon now I could totally see this fan base tonight where it all starts right like they're going to be fired up the bats are back the stros wheeler with day yes get fired up Philly I love it yeah I think everybody's gonna get nuts tonight as it should and the thing with Taiwan is just so brutal is like he gives up the early runs like as soon as the game starts the whole yeah and like anyone like I'm just thinking aler I was impressed by that guy yesterday the the noodle AR but I like to Voss he's I you know yo we got 10 days till kickoff now I hearid 10 days right well 10 days to Thursday night yeah yeah we have season kicks off days we had uh week zero SP

big week for the birds cut down tomorrow four o'clock now that Jan doson is in the fold it looks like there's really only couple positions that are that I think they're going to be looking at so let's welcome from the all phly Eagle show the great ZM Zach Burman Zachariah what do you say buddy big week hey good morning good to talk to you guys you too man big week buddy we got a cut down day tomorrow where do you see some of the uh the the action and how how do you kind of look at this roster pair down yeah so there's there's two ways first off how do they get to their best 53 but the other thing you need to consider here here is the NFL has this new IR role this year which allows you to place two players on IR with the designation to return before the cutdown day in the past you had to carry them on the 53 so this is relevant because there's some strategy involved here take someone like Trevor Keegan okay Trevor Keegan who has been banged up recently if Eagles don't kind of see a role for him in these first four weeks but they uh expect to have him back here middle of the Season let's say you can put him on IR designation to return and carry that roster spot elsewhere so there's there's some some uh mechanics involved for Hoy Roseman here been putting the roster together but to answer your question where I really see the competition here is along the offensive line whether they keep more veterans like a Brett to like a Nick Gates I think linebacker if they keep orren Burks and then the big question here is what they do at safety with James Bradberry I don't anticipate them keeping him uh is there any position now they got doson is there any position that they would look to add after Cuts Like I don't know number two tight ends exactly definitely tight is that something yeah tight end's a spot where you know typically when you put your 53 together and and Bo and I uh both have our 53s up on all phly.com right now you're typically carrying three tight ends and I don't see them carrying three tight ends through the through the cutdown day because I think they're going to be looking at at at that market pretty closely the third best tight end in Camp's been EJ Jenkins I don't know if they're going to carry EJ Jenkins on the initial 53 or if if they do I still think they look to upgrade that on on the waiver wire so that's that's one spot I still think they could be in the market for a safety uh for for for depth safety and then I I also think watch out for backup nose tackle they have Marlin tuy pelu but if there's a like a big natural nose tackle that hits the market it wouldn't surprise me if they look there wow wow that's interesting I had thought about that what what is it just for depth is it something that there's no concern about Jordan Davis obviously but uh is it a snap thing with him like we talked about yeah it's it's more depth that if if Jordan Davis got hurt that's such an important role and so you know Marlon T who he's he's been here now this is his fourth year um I I I think he he's fine as a backup but if you need him to to take that Jordan Davis role on Sundays that could affect your defensive line so if there's a veteran who who gets cut or someone who's an upgrade over over Marlin to belot to that's where I would look hey let me ask you a question uh about tight end again what you what happened to albertto like when he was in Denver I thought he had a chance to become a player obviously uh didn't work out there what have you seen from him as to why he hasn't taking that step yeah I haven't seen anything from him honestly I mean I mean that's that's been the problem yeah like when you're watching practice what are you saying like just he he doesn't um he he he doesn't really make many plays on the ball to be honest with you I mean he he has he has size he he can move well if you watch that last preseason game Denver had last year they played against the Rams you know I I think they they they won 40 something nothing and he he put up he had eight catches a touchdown in that game and Eagles go and trade for him after that game because they didn't think he would fall to them on on the waiver wire the Eagles kept him on their roster last year even when he was kind of buried on the depth chart and then they signed him before free agency to keep him here so clearly they see the same thing you do in terms of he he has talent that you think is going to be there but you know I didn't get to watch him in training camp a year ago because he wasn't with the Eagles a year ago in Camp they picked him up afterwards I saw him in Camp this year and he he doesn't do anything to jump off the you know to to kind of get into your notes if you will so I think that when you look at it from a size speed perspective yeah there is Talent there but they had a full season last year they camped this year and I just haven't seen it from him yeah no I know I I kept I kept figing that he would be the number two not gonna go back to calov I still think you need to upgrade that spot I'm I'm not biggest calov guy yeah so I I I really look at at uh at tight end I I I thought they were going to address it during the draft it wasn't a great tight end class uh the board kind of didn't fall the way you would want in a few of those spots um I thought the veteran Market they would look at they did bring in CJ uzama and that just didn't work out he he he's just not you know he's kind of shot there in that or he he just doesn't have what he he used to have there uh Grant some of that that they took in the sixth round two years ago they've been develop or you know he's going into year three here they've been developing him he's a good pass catcher uh that's something that's that's jumped out to to Nick serani but I I don't think he's he's what you need from a number two now there's a chance Jack stole becomes available uh if the Giants move on from him he's someone who at least Eagles know he can block he can fit there but if you're looking for more of a dynamic pass catching tight end as the number two Grant calcatera is the best they have on the roster for it but I think that they can definitely look elsewhere and and there are guys like for instance a player I've I've kind of had my eye on throughout the offseason is uh Donald Parham from the chargers chargers have loaded up on on tight ends this is like a 68 Red Zone Target played for Kell Moore last year uh if he becomes available and I think that's a chance that's a that's a place I would look yeah par is another one because he's got soft hands he's monstrous and you remember they had all kinds of injuries last year to their wide receiver so he got kind of frost into it but yet he was always a guy that would catch touchdowns and you know he he he was a Target I like he's the same thing I would definitely like I like him I I look him yeah I think you know you know calcatera is more he's almost like a big slot if you will right um as as opposed to an inline guy and I think that they can uh I think they can find more of an inline guy we'll see we'll see who uh was when it comes down to to tomorrow defensively you mentioned Bradberry and that appears to be it any other spots in the second like how's that shaken out now yeah so at corner and we've talked about this throughout the summer they're they're deeper than they've been so Eli Ricks is someone who I think should be on the team uh or he he should be on an NFL roster like if if you want to do a player for player trade uh I think that that would make sense because he's 22 years old he's 6'2 he can cover he's got ball skills I like Eli Ricks a lot and I I love in fact I love him and he's buried in their in in the depth chart exactly so he's your if I was hoe I can get something for him I I would I would actually like to I'd move them yeah that's that's that's that's the way I I would look at it is that you know a fifth six corner is a luxury for you really a six he's your sixth corner and that's a and that's a luxury for you and if if you can add whether let say a second tight end or maybe a third safety or maybe just a a draft pick inventory because you you you traded some for Dodson last week that's that's that's where I would looking there are teams that need corner so I'm I'm curious to see what happens with Eli Ricks tomorrow uh at at safety I mentioned James Bradberry they have two kind of down the depth chart guys that I would that that that I think you know the viewers and listeners should keep their eyes on and that's Tristan mccolm who's played well this summer uh Tristan mccom was on practice well last year elevated at the end of the year um he's he's flashed a at camp and I think he's gonna put his name into consideration then a player I would really watch is Andre Sam he's an undrafted rookie uh from from LSU yeah yeah so uh one you know if if if you're kind of looking for clues in the last preseason game Andre Sam took the most special team snaps okay of any player who played on on uh on on on Saturday and that stands out to me because I I think you know and we all know this when you're looking at roster spots 50 51 52 53 you're thinking about special teams and I think he can have a definite role there uh he's a little bit old for a rookie but if you're looking at an undrafted rookie I don't think you you mind that so much you're looking at at how he can help now and the other thing to consider is I I know hoe and Nick serani have taken pride and keeping undrafted rookies they've kept one each of the past you know three years under serani uh so if you're look looking for the undrafted rookie was the best chance to make the team I think Andre Sam it's a good quote hey Zach what is going on with Nolan Smith like he seemed to be the only starter that dress he didn't look great are they trying to send him a message yeah that's that that's that's the way I would perceive it right is is I think Vic fangio sending him a message um because for him to play in the third preseason game and play as much as he did that yeah that there's uh now now you can make the argument that more football better for him he's still kind of a developing player but there are a lot of guys that that did not dress who who who could have used football and so I think the fact that he was out there does send a message Nolan Smith uh has you we've talked about it going back to when they they they drafted him has the athletic tools I haven't seen it enough from like the pass rushing perspective I think he needs to put that together the the one thing I I like about Nolan Smith when he's out there is like you're you're getting uh an allout effort player like he's he's running sideline the sideline he's chasing everything down he's providing value there the thing is that's not how you want to describe your first round pick that's not how you want to describe the number 30 overall pick in the draft right you want someone who who like is using those physical tools so I need to see him take the the athleticism the natural athleticism that he has and really turn that into legit pass rush moves in the um in the secondary do you have job and mcferson practice squad or making the team yeah so so job's a tough call this year he was probably their top special teams player last year and I I mean you can make an argument for keeping him for special teams only here's here's kind of the issue that that that I have when I put it together you know Anthony and I were were were just talking you have six corners if you include Eli Ricks if you put job in there that's Seven Corners I have a hard time keeping Seven Corners uh so I I do have him on um specialty oh I'm sorry I do have him on on practice squad he's someone who if if you were to trade Eli Ricks you can keep him on as the sixth corner I just think he's squeezed out Zack mcferson similar two years ago you know he was hurt last year but two years ago might have been their top special teams guy uh but I I just can't see you keeping Seven Corners on this roster hey I I I want to get this to you we're excited uh we talked about uh doson coming uh when we did our emergency pod and to me having that third receiver that is a great matchup for you right that can get behind the uh they can get behind the defense it's slot guy that you can move on the outside really good fit so we love this offense right going into this year the offense unquestionably on paper they're the it's the best skill offense ever right so we know it's an offensive League when the Eagles went to the Super Bowl in 2022 that year they put up 29 points or more 11 times times including all three in the playoffs they were over 30 Y in 17 when they went to the Super Bowl they also did it 11 times twice in the playoffs of course in the Super Bowl we remember it uh last year they only broke that threshold six times and they gave up uh 29 or more seven times looking at this offense I I got to believe they're double digits breaking 29 threshold well said I agree with you my big question there well there there really two questions can they hold up on the old line you know there are questions there questions about the depth uh but from a skill perspective yeah they they should be scoring into the 30s um you know from a a drive to drive basis they're they're so hard to stop from a skill player perspective so you're absolutely right then the then the other question I I I have is is just uh Howard defenses going to play Jen you know I think that I don't want to say the book is out but teams are are going to be sending you know zero Blitz until the Eagles have answers for it and you brought Kell Moore in here you've been prepping it this this this all this whole summer so I imagine they will have answers for it oh yeah but we don't know how they're going to react to the way defenses hit them but from the perspective of like you match up your guys against their guys I'll take the Eagles guys just about every week yeah no I I mean it's funny I went through this offense and I'm looking at the points and all I'm looking at this offense and I go uh the only way that this offense doesn't do that is if like you said the o line is injured and because there's some depth issue that's what kind of cripples them or jaylen's not himself again and jaylen's in which case then it would be time to worry right like if jayen if with this offense around him including the line itself as as is healthy I mean you you're a quarterback you can't ask for anything more you're absolutely right all the ingredients are there you know we we we talk about this from from serani like all the ingredients are there all the ingredients are there for for jayen too I I don't think jayen has um you know there's there's not necessarily an excuse if you will if he struggles also when you talk about this this offense I I I thought you made the best point on the emergency show the other day with the doson trade is this this doesn't just upgrade you from a number three wide receiver it gives you better insurance if AJ or Devonte go down and I think that's a a key part of this trade because Dodson from my view and and you know from listening to you your view is a a starting caliber wide receiver so they they they they didn't really have that so you don't want to lose AJ or or Devonte but if if one of them goes down three weeks four weeks I think doson can step in and give you like above replacement level exactly like because you know guys are to get dinged up 177 Game season and pre Dotson there's like nobody and I'm not saying to you know like VG why you act like they they're you know they're getting you know some stud Jerry Rice Jerry yeah whatever you said Jerry Rice Randy Moss whoever you whoever W whatever hyperbole you you tried it out there the idea the truth of the matter is you got a credible guy right like that's and and to get by three weeks you just need somebody credible they didn't have anybody credible so that that I like yeah and I think that's that's the the part of the trade that that that kind of deserves more attention if if if you will is uh they've been remarkably healthy with AJ and and Devonte over the past two years Devonte the only game he he missed was week 18 last year in you know since he came to Philly the only game AJ missed was the playoff game last year since he came to Philly I don't know if you can count on that and doson gives you a major upgrade there what what what do you think the role is going to be with gamewell yeah that's a good question because because gainwell came on I would say later on in Camp I I I thought him and Chipley were we kind of backing forth earlier on I I think gainwell came on later in Camp I I I I think gainwell is gonna be the the number two back but I don't think Barkley is going to take many snaps off right uh they they they signed Barkley to be a 275 300 touch player uh so I don't think there's going to be that many Touches for gel unless Barkley goes down and Barkley does have and and and injury history uh if bar if Barkley were to go down though I think it would be more of a a gainwell shiple split but I like what I've seen from gainwell they had a practice the last practice uh that was what Wednesday last week I think it was or or uh yeah or or Tuesday yeah all the all the days run together um but what what stood out in in that practice was uh there was a drive when gainwell every play was to gainwell uh you know Barkley wasn't practicing there was a run to gain well and then there was like two passes to gain well including a nice touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone uh so I I do think they're going to find a role for him but I don't think there's G be many Touches for him yeah it's interesting somebody I'm looking I'm looking at because and I I agree I'm not a big game well guy so uh and I did like the way shley looked so it was interesting but you know they're GNA go with the veteran hey Zachariah great stuff brother looking forward to it uh two o'clock today yeah 2:00 uh Fran Duffy's in studio with Bo and me and and we'll be going through our 53 man roster projections and we'll be uh kind of simulating what the conversations are like between Hoy Roseman Nick serani Vic fangio and Kell Moore as as they bring this roster down the 53 I love it so you're play who you're playing Howie or you're playing I'm playing Nick for this one I think yeah I think I'm playing Nick for this I'm playing Nick for this one yeah who's hoe Fran I think Bo's gonna be Howie and then Fran will be the coordinator okay I like it I like it it's good stuff man look forward to role playing yeah 2 a b role player I'd love to play there i' like I'd rather play H yeah me too we can't get rid of this guy he's got a great motor you can't get a motor like that just off the street you know come on keep this good locker room guy Zachariah great stuff buddy we'll be watching the two o'clock you and Bo and frany see pal that's it B yeah buddy how involved are the head coaches in this is this more the positional coaches and the D coordinator offensive coordinator y yeah yeah yep if you're uh you're you're GNA look at your guys that you want like f will have the probably the really big final St obviously has final C defense yeah but he'll get you know he'll get his wish certain things how we look at it go well you know I need XY for special teams I need this so it'll be an interesting discussion I do think tight they have to figure out back they cannot have that calat terrorist or second no you need somebody you need someone can block yeah he's not big enough you just want a two tight end set where there's two credible people out there right you know they used to be you know big right 12 Personnel yeah when you had her and G right me think about that and they like at least now it's interesting because syriani like to run a lot of 12 yeah he does even 13 whereas Kell Moore likes to run 11 which is your three wide outs and one tight end maybe that's what they're thinking they won't calat won't get on the field M I don't know you can't say healthy either the Cal I know game just is like he just over so unting he is uninspiring yeah there's nothing right he like he doesn't he doesn't pop like he doesn't flash he's like Brent to he's another guy he plays every offensive line position just okay he's not great at any of those how this guy he's to like it's like a color right to it goes with anything it just you know Blends in like you need some to like Earth Tone you know it's just there right like right ex you know you need it it's not glamorous but but game well I don't know I I you know what it is with him he never looks dangerous running the ball yeah no you don't get sced for the defense no he's not going to turn the corner he's not going to rip one 30 yard can't bus one no now yeah listen he'll do little things he catch the ball out of the back field but he's never like that oh he's always too he's always a smaller back it's like 510 like yeah yeah 210 220 like yeah he definitely better yeah I picked up Shipley for my uh Dynasty league as one of my rookies so I'm really hoping that he has a good you know gives you some go you love it now all the fantasy guys come out tell you who's on their teams yeah I picked up this guy got son te saying this fantasy team f you know a shame about fantasy your own team it works as a general conversation but it never works about your own team it's like your golf game nobody cares about your golf game I hear about Ski's golf game all the time I know no and nobody cares about it nobody cares about your golf game nobody cares about your fantasy football team nobody cares about how you watch the Premier League on Saturday morning like we're in aate with those three items every day every day between skes and JP you're guilty of it too at least JP dress he doesn't wear a kid every day skis wears a kid every day it feels like oh yeah not every day yeah a little bit maybe once a week dis portion of the program brought by the B Parks sports book and C online casino app we call them uh that's right the B Park Sportsbook and casino app coming up uh we'll talk to the brain kind of set your whole week but tomorrow's a big day because tomorrow we'll have cutdown day uh the the doson thing and you know to risk blowing it out of proportion like VG says I do uh I I just think was a very important very good signing I just need AG that I needed that I needed that number three receiver yes I agree more experience uh fit du fit dad CEO says fantasy football haters always crack me up yes people care and it's a conver Conversation Piece go yell at the clouds cuz no I love fantasy football like you know listen Co dad I love fantasy football but I don't care about he stees his team like I don't care that he he drafted Shipley which is I don't know why you would draft Shipley it's not going to it's not like he's gonna play well he's a rookie gotv Harris J not a guy that you know Marvin Shipley I don't think he a guy that's gonna have ever become a big a big player I like the kid but you know Shy's a draft a stash guy cuz I don't I wouldn't take him but whatever uh I just don't I just don't think it's a it's for for a show like when we do shows yeah F I have the geek on every week I love the fantasy football talk but you know I could do without sk's team well I mean does that make sense fit CEO dad well do people come up to you like with f like asking for Fantasy Football people to me looking and I'm like dude I don't want to do it well no I I love it and I do it and we have guys and I play it so I love it I love fantasy football but again you know yeah you know what it's also you know no one cares about your bracket either like when I'm watching college football or college basketball and they're like oh I had who cares I just 50 bucks I care about your bracket right now right nobody like you did an analysis you basb g you know what it is it's it's not fantasy football as much as it's somebody like if we all do it nobody car in fact it's annoying to find out that you're like Survivor pool I'm still alive there's 136 people like nobody car because here's the thing you're alive I'm not right so what do I care now again if it's there's two people and you're alive all right that's cool I'm interested hey let me ask you this uh skes posted something on Instagram this weekend he was watching his Liverpool he's a Liverpool his red he's got close captioning on during a sporting event that's in the broadcast is in English and it's taken up a chunk of the screen like it's a distraction like what is up with the the sub that's not my choice it's my girlfriend she has to have it on for everything my wife too she has to have movies TV everything she needs to have it on subtitles because some people talk and she doesn't understand what they're saying so she likes to read it because they don't understand the accent of some well that makes sense if it's an accent if it's a foreign show well these are British guys you know is she watching the Premier League with you she watches from time to time really yeah she likes she watching this game no this was this is actually on Saturday this was uh he's watching us alone with this song this is Man City great game I got my wife into the Union into Columbia as well oh yeah she's got interest John John P says CC for sports is a major violation I agree it's just distracting up there because what happens is it takes away from the screen itself yes yes 100% screen itself because you're you're watching a game so you're not going to want to you know and like got to dive in those balls move quick you you're reading you might miss something you can't be reading a sporting event you know you thing to is it's why I'm not the biggest checking Twitter during a game oh yeah like General I get the rhythm of of like football there is some downtime and I get the idea that you could you know you can check it and all but I I'm not big I have a couple people that you know my cousin a couple of the guys toots or Boo or whatever Vinnie they will text during the game but even that like I want to watch the game like it's distracting yeah I don't even like the ESPN alerts I want to just watch the game I did turn them off at the time of the photo he's getting shredded in the chat room for this at the time of the photo they were on yes but I did turn them off yeah it's so annoying even for the movies like come on babe we don't have we don't need the subtitles we can just listen to it we're good I was disappointed when I saw it Oh man so Brad is here but he's having camera issues it's his camera's out popping up all right well let's put him on and we just put picture of him in the golf put on Instagram this weekend be awesome I'll work my magic and put that up do that give me a second do that we'll get Brad on audio get the and because the Brad is brought To Us by the BET Park sports book and casino app it's the Daily Grind with the brain good brain brain brain the brain fer what do you say brain how are you buddy well I enjoyed listening to those things so you were right like people always talk about their pools or their elimination pools and I'm thinking I always am polite about it I'm like I don't give a crap you know like there's 138 people left in your thing oh there you no listen I love the photo let me tell you what that was no guy who was a client of mine good guy um and Sh rides he G he gave me a courtesy golf cart very nice for him driving around Margate so sh rides give you a plug there he was very very good dude uh that let me uh use the golf cart for about four or five days very nice of him in a golf cart what do you use it for well you know well it's funny you just in Margate there's like no parking anywhere like you almost like there's like two spots in the entire city and this golf cart is easier to to get around believe it or not yeah it's yeah where do you park a golf cart it's a smaller it's a smaller no it's a smaller thing so it's actually a lot easier to get in to spaces because it's it's much smaller than the car is there any laws with the license plate the fact that they can't no no although my fiance got got a ticket for being on her cell phone while being on the golf cart so there you go you know I pulled you over got get by R you're down the shore hop on a cruiser a beach look look look look at me in the photo obviously I'm I'm not using them my bike they're in Brigantine too Brad I've seen them all the time you know I mean I'm keeping it real around marate it's a nice happy world it's a great world it is it's funny I'm going back I'm going back to like quaint easy right like beach like yeah no you know Regal no stress that's that's a word that's never been used to describe me I'll tell you that all right let's uh let's get to it uh we got a big weekend ahead of us college football is started we uh started with an upset Georgia tack outright against FSU which was it was a great game I watched every second of it you know what's funny Anthony uh I I had an opinion on Florida State in the game but Florida state was a team I thought generally was overrated coming of the year and it's interesting though the team I made my one of my big future bets and God you talk about a bet that doesn't look good right now I I thought the ACC was a very fugazy conference which is probably going to be correct didn't like anyone from the ACCC the big favorite was Florida State and you know who I took to win the ACC at 18 to1 odds and I thought I made the of a lifetime then I watched them against Nevada not the of yeah SMU they're obviously moving in the ACC big thing uh what are you going to show man they were losing that game 85% of the way as a 27 and a half Point favorite usually these things in college football Anthony we talked about it on the air the other day I will be more aggressive in moving my power ratings in college football than in any other sport early maybe more so than other handicappers because I do think a lot of it is you're guessing you know there's turnover every year is different what's going to be and we're just doing our best everyone I don't care if you're the best handicap or ever Liv until they start playing the games it is somewhat of an educated guess right and you know H because here's the thing you you don't people go well they got they're they're bringing back nine of the 11 starters on defense but if those nine kids aren't that good what does it matter that they're coming back yeah no 100 100% 100% that's and I I couldn't agree with you more Anthony that's such a important thing but listen I'm really looking forward to football I can't believe it's actually here I'm so excited about it um this is Anthony man and you talk about all the time this is my favorite part of the year and we're going to get you know hopefully a great 18 weeks hopefully the Eagles will have a bounceback season Dallas you saw the injury to Bland right yeah uh another big thing for Dallas another big negative let me ask you question if CD lamb even comes back will he play game one I always wonder these things like I don't know he'll play He he'll play there he could come back on a Saturday night he's GNA play one yeah okay you think he's going to come you think they're going to sign him yeah yeah I do I think they sign him I also think the eagles look even better though as the the winner of the East I would be I would be devastated if they didn't beat Dallas in this for the for the NFC East yeah it would be very extremely disappointing I I agree no it's funnyy this is going to be an interesting game um against Green Bay because I have a lot of respect for Green Bay especially Green Bay's offense uh now with smallest to small sample size we saw JW and love Anthony was it two years ago come in in his first NFL action against Philadelphia and looked quite good if you remember uh but I just think he his last eight games last year he was incredible the love you know that we in fact I think ton after the uh the that game he came in against the Eagles I was like I love him I do think he's a player and last year he was he was terrific man you know he he he had that one month of October where he struggled and then he just he he went he was playing great football Man play great football throughout yeah no 100% And that's look this is a game Anthony usually I look towards unders in in the beginning of these games usually the week one's more of an under we traditionally in the NFL and it's interesting I will tell you but that rule change Anthony is going to move the ball up about four yards yeah four yards every kickoff it used you know so I think that's worth maybe at least a point at least a point in these NFL games because you're getting four yards consistently over like however many kickoffs you're going to have in a game it's probably worth a point over the course of a game but I I actually do think points are going to be scored in this game uh I think a total right now is 49 it opened 52 which I thought was too high but um I do think both teams are going to have uh legitimate success offensively in this one yeah I do too I I I wouldn't be concerned like listen I think it's a tough game and the Eagles defense too new coordinator very young on the young uh in the secondary you know it's going to take a little time for them to get kind of acclimated so you know it I look at it I could see some points being scored you know I I on flip side I was saying this to uh to the guys you know last year the e or two years ago when they went to the Super Bowl the Eagles scored 29 or more points at the game 11 times including three times in the playoffs when they won when they won the Super Bowl in 2017 they also did it 11 times twice in the playoffs including the Super Bowl last year they only did it six times and in the uh the and they gave up 29 or more seven times so kind of tells you SC yeah like their off and I just look at their offense I go their offense is especially with dson I love what they did with dson well let me ask you a question and I know I know you texted me and and I I got to ask you a question and and I'm not it's not I'm disagreeing with you because me and you talked on air probably at least a dozen times and I know you've had other guys on the other beat writers who are great on the a to discuss it with you is that their third receiver was arguably one of the biggest holes on their team right yeah but what I will say to you what I'll say to you is this and let me ask you a question I'm I'm not criticizing the move I swear I'm really not but don't you think let me ask you a question if you lived with someone for example right wouldn't you say you know their personality better than me if you lived with them probably so right you don't think Washington having been with the room with doson every single day for two years knows what he can or can't do and they invested a first round pick yeah but remember this is what you're missing is that this is a new regime they this is not the regime that drafted him this is not the coaching staff that spent two years with him they spent a preseason a training camp one training camp this P this past training camp with him yeah and I guess and from what I heard he definitely had confidence issues dropping the football coming out of Penn State drops were never an issue no so I I disagree with your notion because I see it all the time that GM new regimes always cut first round picks that didn't pan out because that's a that's a message to the whole team right I mean listen you you certainly could be right but again with Quinn coming in there I I again I'm looking at like they have Jaden Daniels you know they really they obviously McLaren I would think they'd really still want really want I mean dami Brown I mean whatever I I would think they'd still really want doson to succeed and give him every chance to get in there and and succeed and I would think he hadd be pretty bad for them to to cut bait but that's just my opinion I could be dead wrong I'm again but you you you get the whole GM like if you're a GM yes and you didn't draft him that's my message to the team like yo go guys if I cut him I cut anybody yeah and you're not looking to win this year and yeah now to your point would they prefer to him work out of course you know so and he did have drop issues in the training camp that was real he had confidence I talked to Brian Mitchell who is with the is with the commanders yeah and said that b Mitch said yeah he's got confidence he said he could play but he's got confidence issues right now we did have eight touchdowns in rookie season that's a big big number that is a big number I mean you the end of the game it's like the old Chris Carter all he does is score touchdowns like you could score touchdowns that's a very important things that's hard to score near the Red Zone the fact he had eight touchdowns in his rookie year was an incredibly promising thing in my opinion so there's certainly things to like he was great in college um they didn't I mean like the price a third round pick getting back a fifth two7 whatever uh look they needed that third receiver is this the right guy to fill it time will tell but I always admire how he's not sitting on the sidelines just saying you what am I going to do um he's always trying to improve he's your fifth option in the pass game right you AJ Devonte uh saon out of the back field G and and Dawson's their fifth option and he's a guy that's played in the slot he's a guy that can play on the outside as well and he's a guy that's got burst so he's going to see a lot of like safety a lot of man man he could beat man and he can get be down the field for big plays well the good thing is from his point of view is is it fresh start where he's coming in as you said Anthony not a ton of expectations like being a first- round pick in Washington so hopefully he can come in and they can give them three catches a a week for like you know 40 yards and be productive and get a couple I mean I I they don't need a ton they get round I don't care if they brought in Justin Jefferson hard numbers are irrelevant with him he's just got to be on the field and and he's got to be a threat right so threat exactly if you get a big play to him you know once or twice a game that's serves his purpose we see it the same way we see it the same way 100% I agree pH at least Anthony had a good uh I was happy you know they lugo's been pitching very well they had a nice win they took what two or three in that series at least that was they're back the fights are back back baby never doubt Brad look they'd be singer and like you said gam well those guys been pitching well those guys been pitching well that that Kansas City has had a very good year so like I was at least encouraged they finally scored some runs I mean it's been like just a a dry spell now obviously you know Houston's been another really hot team that's coming in and then they have Atlanta I believe after that this is a stretch where you want to see them hopefully WR would have been a very poor ship and and they and Ranger Suarez to me that was very great to see Anthony yep you know coming back that was the the highlight of the weekend was Ranger highlight of the weekend they're back baby he's the most Anthony is it is this a stretch to say he's he's like the key to the team I said it I've been saying it for the last month since he's been out that he's been he's the key to the team because he's their third starter you know you got wheeler and Nola but you gotta have Ranger and they don't have anybody else you can count on Sanchez is nice but Sanchez is the starts at you know game four right like that's what he does you need the Lefty and you need Suarez who's got you know very little uh agitation who comes in he's calm you need that presence in the rotation in in a playoff series no see see it see it the exact same way really really do and uh look again they what a game in it's interesting though Anthony I got to tell you the entire year I've been feeling it's a slam dunk that they're going to get that by Anthony you see how close the Brewers are to them in the playoffs no I know was I know I think it's the game I think it's one game yeah well I mean I know they were tired every game is very yeah I mean every game is of Paramount importance I I don't understand how the that's why this time of the year is the best it's well it's funny Anthony my bet for the day my bet for the day it's going to be in the Phillies game tonight um and I'm going to go under in the five inning line uh ronal Blanco has been Houston's best starter all year Zack Wheeler to me is obviously Zach wheeler uh total's four and a half um I feel very good Zack will will hold them to one or less runs and Blanco's been very very good all year for them only usually goes five innings um I say that again I would have made this total four uh you know maybe even three and a half juice to the over I think four and a half we get a little bit of value taking under uh with two really good pitchers especially wheo being Elite I think it's t too high on I think I feel very good that this is going to be a low scoring game through five probably like under eight also in the game but I prefer the five inning line just because I rather deal with the two starters all right is that it yeah that was not a card I like today it's funny I am very rare very very rare see literally the only bet I made all day which probably hasn't never happens but that was literally the only bet I put in the entire day all right Brad Brad I'm going down tonight give me a player to hit a home run tonight for the Phils the beted on oh man uh God trying to think with odds yeah I you know what's funny I will actually Marsh proba Marsh is seeing the ball better he said much better at bats I I'll go with a brain you want to throw a a pizza bet whatever take a shot start go with Marsh all right what is he he's gotta be what I think they're waiting to see I don't see a line on him yet here can you read me real quick VG you read real quick the odds on like the top four Five Guys plus 320 Bryce is 380 Trey 460 bom 650 Nick 650 JT 650 and Bryson stot 10 to one all right I I it's a boring answer but from a math point of view which is where I'm gonna get for you would either it would either be Harper or or scherber those are the best ma math plays in my opinion but it's OB I do Bry got to be D I like the way stots swinging a bat and I like the way Mars has been SW the last over the weekend those two St had a nice weekend he's another one I look at he had a ball couple on the other night that I thought died I thought had a chance so I would take a look at those so I'll give you start or Marsh uh all right bra on on stop to get a stolen base tonight stolen base let me see real quick yeah we're

because he didn't want to listen to me that baseball is not a game to fret in August I get a little nervous but not to be panicked and here he is Jimmy Stakes joining us right now what's up guys you know uh how's how's feeling today amen uh Jimmy what a terrific weekend Saturday and Sunday against two good pitchers right Brady siger who's very good and Lugo who had a terrific first half who actually is a terrible matchup in the sense he throws nine pitches he throws uh three different breaking balls which for the Phillies that are a dead red team that I was a little concerned about yesterday and they mashed again two days in a row yeah is Greg feeling any better Anthony oh Jimmy you were right all along I had nothing to worry about they're back thank you one talking sense around here you you can't Panic like if you forget your spatula at the cookout you just go to Ace right Jim knows love it Jimmy's even looking a little happy he's got a little smile to his face todayy he was looking beat up on Friday little Kansas City um actually believe it or not I've been battling uh the dreaded Co all weekend oh oh really yeah you look pretty good feels are a cure apparently terrible summer cold but uh that's all right uh I'm tough um it was a good weekend a um because you know coming out of uh Atlanta man uh that was Grim yeah you lose that series and you don't look good doing it I mean there are games you you lose and you play okay but they just were outclass and um you know then you go into uh Kansas City and and you really don't look all that you know you don't pitch the first night uh and that can take you down but the had bats actually started to look better on Friday night and then they were really good over the weekend I mean I was encouraged by a few things obviously you know Ranger Suarez uh I was encouraged by the way Bryson stot swung the bat yes over the weekend to me he's been such a key kind of missing in peace all year if you could you know with 32 games left if you can get him going and and get his best baseball this last month and into October I think that'll really lengthen the lineup uh schwarber swung it better um you know still waiting uh they get you get a little bit more from Turner but you're still waiting for him to be a Turner you're still waiting for Harper but I think uh having Suarez now you're you're back deep SW the B better too I like the Mar swung the bat better too he really did and you know I was wondering if they were getting ready to send him out because his strikeouts he just wasn't contributing I think we talked about it here like not as a punitive measure just as a get him right measure uh because Cody Clemens was left-handed also a left-handed bat swinging it well on Triple A um and I think that was something that you know they were kicking around but he comes out Friday night and really swings it well he turned on that one ball to to right field hit another ball to to left field um looked like he was seeing the ball better having better at bats uh looked a little more confident just the fact that he went out and really drove that ball turned on that ball to right field so you know you can get him and St going as um in my View kind of complimentary pieces in that batting order and then if you can get Turner uh and Harper to join in with with schwarber then you know maybe maybe you're just going to get the vibe that maybe they're going to be peing at the right time but you know I'm not ready to say they're completely out of the woods I have faith in them I have faith they're going to make the postseason and then it becomes a whole new season um but they need to build on those two good offensive games in Kansas City and you know I know we've said this before throughout this funk they've been in now for two and a half months they're coming home and you got Zach wheeler on the mount and then Aaron Nola on the mount I can't think of a better way to start a homee than with a warming offense uh and those two guys and and I'm sure a big crowd a 2022 World Series rematch um should be a lot of fun down there at the ballpark but that you know the fun starts with the winning they need to keep this up yeah I could see I was saying this to the guys I could see tonight where the crowd's back into it it's going to feel like it did in May you know right it's the Astros everybody knows how important the last two games were and now I think the crowd's back I could see the magic starting to percolate yeah and that's what offense I think people love offense and offense when you're on the bases creating uh energy scoring runs offense can really Electrify a team uh emotionally but it also can do wonders for a pitching staff because you don't feel like you're on that tight rope all the time um and like I said having Zack Wheeler starting off your home stand is just a a great way to go you know start the engine it's like you know he had that great outing against the Dodgers uh a few weeks a couple now it's been more than a month that at at home where he comes out and you know fires 97 98 by by Otani and and really sets the stage so I'm I think it's a great you know uh piece of good fortune that they have him on the mound to start this thing off here and you know the uh Braves are in what Minnesota and s's going to pitch Wednesday I think so they won't see sale which is Big because he's probably your leader for your sa young he's the Braves Ace uh they get Morton Lopez freed and schm schach the kid who's pretty good I'm sorry go ahead Greg what would you see out of the bullpen you think they're they look like they're starting to write themselves aside from Ruiz Alvarado a couple strikeouts they seem to be a little more under control yeah and bullpens are like that up and down up and down and um you know I thought Rob Thompson did a good job getting Alvarado in there to a couple you know low pressure situations where maybe he can build some confidence I think he's kind of a guy that thrives on momentum and and putting four and five good outings together and getting some some confidence so maybe he's on the way back um you know they they just pitched so well those first two months a little more than two months and that extended right to the bullpen and they've had a lengthy in the bullpen you know since the All-Star break they haven't thrown enough strikes um but if they can get it back they can be dangerous at the right time it's still to me going to be a wide open October tournament um whoever I know this is crazy simplistic but whoever plays the best whoever moves Runners whoever plays great defense whoever gets the big hit with runers in scoring position and of course whoever gets good pitching starting in bullpen uh that's how you win the big tournament that's how you win those 13 games uh once you know once October starts um you're not going to remember these these tough times they had you know I mean obviously if they go cold and have one a couple of those nights where they're swinging at everything you're going to say you know that's what they did when they were in their Funk mid-season but they have a chance to start new uh once they get past these 32 games but I will say this these 32 games are important for just getting right uh playing good ball and going into October um as the team that you can be playing at at the top of your game so you have that that confidence and that memory muscle to be the best you can be in October because uh it's it's it's going to be the hot team and the team that doesn't beat itself doesn't give extra outs uh on the doesn't give you know don't walk people it's about playing really good crisp baseball in the month of October Jimmy can you speak to the Gen iius at his topper just pulling all the right strings with Garrett stubs yesterday how locked into this this team is topper right now but what if Garrett stubs went over for five you'd be murdering n it wasn't gonna happen because that off day was established five days ago um as we've talked about a number of times talk have talked about it a bunch with um Jamie and Renee when the off these off days are planned out well in advance and they they include the decision includes the front off office their athletic training staff their medical staff their Sports Science people and they're all weighing in on it and that day off is established four five six days ahead of time and they're not going to move off it so it had the PO potential to be kind of combustible because uh JT hits two home runs Saturday night and you just know he's going to sit the next day because it's going to be Day game after a night game 97 degrees and he's caught five in a row he's getting the next day off and and that's where your backup catcher is going to get the start so great job by Garrett stubs um kind having his manager back he goes out there and he has a day as they say and and nobody even squawks about JT getting his day off so it becomes win-win JT gets his day off uh he'll be behind the plate for wheeler tonight and they they win a big ball game and stubs feels great about himself he contributed to a big win um you know you mentioned topper pulling right strings I kind of look at it just the opposite I think the players make the manager look good um and I think it's always been that way you know I mean Grady Little sends Pedro Martinez back out to the mound uh in Yankee Stadium 20 years ago if Pedro gets those three outs grd Little's are genius but you know little flare gry Littles run out of town um you know it's up to the player to make the manager look good and um you know Garrett stubs did that yesterday for for his whole team and he made himself look good as well do you do you like uh planning those things out like I get you know last two days in Kansas City were hot um and so I understand especially Sunday Sunday was very hot but no one at JT had missed a lot of the Season knowing that his Bat was struggling uh hits the two home runs you know I'll be honest with you I would have amended that and I and I would have knowing also that you needed to win yesterday now thank God they did but that was a big game to win that series after the way you looked at Atlanta and no one you got you know seven more tough games coming up as soon as he hit those two home runs Friday night uh Saturday night I'm sorry I was like the word I just used combustible this could be really this could explode if they get hammered tomorrow and they don't hit you just took your hottest bat out of the lineup because it's a prescribed day off people are going to lose their mind um and and I understand it um but they have a process and they are going to stick to it especially with no I know they do I'm just care about you do you like to go more dayt day uh do you like having like a like normally I agree I would like that's a day you sit JT but you got to give yourself I I often think that you got to give yourself a little wiggle room in case you want to you know what I need the game you know I'll give him Wednesday's a four o'clock game I'll give him Wednesday off against the against the Astros yeah I actually like planning it out a little bit because I I think if if if you amended your like you tell the player his the plan he can kind of plan his week and his mind and uh manage his body now all of a sudden if you change that up um players feed off that and they sense like something ain't right they sense a little pain iic and all of a sudden now they might press I am big in the sport of baseball because it's every day and it's so long I'm big on routine and I think in the end routine works and when you deviate from the routine people take different things from it uh they think man that's fair my manager doesn't have faith my manager is panicking I just like I'm a big you know and in other sports are different but in baseball I I just think steady steady steady steady wins the race a lot of times it it it does you're right it does and I guess I'm not looking at it it's a panic situation I'm just looking at it as a hey I I want to put my best lineup out on the field and knowing where I'm at and I'm not saying I like hey JT you're off and then all of a sudden I'm gonna go back on that if I tell the guy he's off he's off but I not build it in uh I just you know and maybe because I'm what you've already and and what you're doing is like hand inand with that you've told stubs hey you got Sunday so stubs is kind of gearing his whole yeah prep toward I'm in there Sunday I just I don't like ripping up the plans and I know there's probably times when you have to uh but and they they have a lead they going to the postseason I do think you can budget a little bit for October um and I know it drives people people crazy when they lose and they don't have their best players on the field but sometimes it's it's one step back to take two steps forward um and it Garrett stubs made it all work gett stubs made it all work and and the offense as a whole made it all work yesterday because I'm sure when Rob Thompson got on that bus Saturday night he's human he probably thought about the same thing same things we're talking about killed he actually said it he's like good move by me he was joking around you right like talking about knows like especially here he and he gets he's interesting because they they get on fans get on Topper uh a lot like he's not even though they've won a lot and they had that magical run two years ago when he was a darling he gets he has a lot of critics hey it it's this it goes you know it goes with the territory you got to put on the uh the asbesto suit and you got to take it now and then but like I was I'm sure Saturday night after that game he sits on that bus and he says man it was great boy did JT swing it good tonight I'd love to have him in there tomorrow but I'm sticking to the plan I'm sticking to the plan because routine does matter it especially does matter when um you you have you know such important games still to play and you know he's JT's north of 30 let's not forget he had knee surgery a handful of weeks ago uh very important on both sides of the ball um talk about the importance of his right-handed bat but he really is the leader of that pitching staff and if they're going to win in October they're going to need that pitching staff and and they're going to need him healthy and Rock Solid so it hurts out there especially when he's swinging it um but they they got a plan and it really helps when your players play good because it makes the people who make those plans it makes them look like they know what they're doing BL he threw out Blanco Saturday night I don't know why Blanco Blanco tried to steal third with wit up which was ridiculous but uh yeah he didn't even get out of his Crouch threw a seed to third to get Blancos fast yep nice play real nice play uh threw it behind the behind the batter good tag by bom um but yeah I don't know why they were running there with taking the bat out of Bob Bobby wht's hands what a what a talent I mean what how about how he gets down the line he's just he's he's L literally five tools like all of a sudden you go how's that play that close yeah I saw him play in a All-Star game we were in San Diego a few years ago uh with the Phillies and uh there was an All-Star game out there Petco and he came on the field and man he just what a what a talent of course I remember watching his dad pitch all those years but man young Talent baseball because speed um you know watch the way Turner can run when he's feeling good um speed on the basis is so exciting still need to get Trey Turner going because to me he's kind of like he's just to me he's the number one Catalyst I think in that offense he got down line faster than one on that one play I think it was you look at the periods they've won late last season after got that Ovation and then you know early this season and then when he came back um you know he can really help you stack up a lot of wins so if he gets hot at the right time this this team's going to really benefit from it hey one one Bobby wit story that I just heard yesterday from a buddy of mine that when wit was being scouted his high school team uh you know he was ridiculous right so everybody want to see him play and the kid struck out his first atat and like they were freaking out the feds were freaking out over their chant overrated he Strikes Out goes right to the rail starts chearing all his players by the way uh the second of bat he hits a home run right goes around dabs up everybody right to the rail cheering his players and he's the bat boy they don't wait you know usually the on the on Deck guy will get the bat Bobby wit went out every a bat and retrieve the bat he was the bat boy on that team talk about a plus plus everything teammate well A good scout will Scout all that it's you know makeup does the kid compete is is he a good teammate does he support his teammates does he hang his head after he has a bad moment in the field or strikes out uh does he beat himself up does he disappear for three Innings after he Strikes Out does he go sit in the corner of The Dugout pout good scout notices all that and that falls under the heading of makeup you know you strike out you pass the Baton you you you know you support your teammates um I'm not surprised to hear that uh he's because what we see now is great makeup and his dad was always off the charts competitor uh so I you know I would imagine he was kind of raised right around the game his dad came out of the you know played in the game when it was when it was about that uh when it wasn't a m me I I game it was a team game and um so the yeah the kid was raised right in baseball and uh good scout notices all that stuff do you pat your teammates onto the back do you you know you might be the number one guy on the roster but do you support the the 15th or the 18th guy on the roster um I love those stories I I I and yesterday was Little League World Series did I don't know if you caught any of it the walk off BN it was I I freaking love it Jimmy I I mean I absolutely love I'm living it right with with mine we got fall ball starting up and uh it's it's the greatest watching those kids yesterday how great was that whole scene the um the kid from Chinese typea pitch the day before right-hander yeah God what mechanics he was throwing a breaking ball he was throwing a riding fast ball and then they move him to right field I guess he reached his pitch limit tough way to lose um you know on an era but just shows I mean you put the bunt down essentially you put the ball and play you never know what can happen with Runners on base uh um but you know it was a nice display of sportsmanship that the uh coach from Florida the team from Florida really tried to comfort the kid who threw the ball away um he'll grow from that and you know I I know it's a goofy cliche but in that game you know they're all Champions yeah no it's the best you kidding me Jimmy great stuff Stakes we love you got it buddy tell Greg to chill 32 games left we're good I'm going down tonight I'm ready to go hunter winds they're cracking the hunter wind Mark now Jim he's got the Hat he's right yeah he's just up and down as a reliever yeah yeah never a doubt buddy thanks to getting me through that tough SP the tough patch well if if they get swept here I might have to come back and don't even say that why would you put that out into the world Jimmy you know no take it back back take it back fast enough Jim Salsbury grass he is he is the greatest check him out love you buddy um man you crack me up he's a funny guy I'm like I'm excited I do think they're back I think T like's gonna be fun dude I mean I know I think I'm gonna bet schwarber there's no nothing's gonna be like Le

out if we can replicate that how do all four teams finish JP all right here we go so start with the birds whatever go Birds we got NFC Championship game all right Sixers Eastern Conference Finals flyers I think they make the playoffs this year I think they they're one and done though one and done and the fightings they're going to win the World Series let's go ohp's got the win I'm high on them I like it manious all right uh Eagles I'm gonna say NFC Championship game I think that's a good one okay Sixers they're not making it out of the second round um the fly the Flyers they're they might be a playoff game team but they're only going to be one they're just one point away playoff game team he's such a non Sportsman that got to be a playoff game team a playoff what does that mean he's a non Sportsman says that you know who says that a guy wearing a Colombian soccer jersey oh God does that mean like they just get kicked out of the playoffs going to make it to the playoffs but I only think they're Premier League else got they're first rounder um and I think the Phillies oh man I wish I could say World Series mother father say with ch I wish I could say World Series but I don't think so on all right Phillies go to the World Series Flyers they went around to the playoffs MCH cow's rookie of the year around I love it I love it I it Sixers to the finals yes and Eagles

I don't do that that's cool oh yeah yeah sear sucker maybe sear sucker sear sucker Lin oh you're sear sucker sear sucker pains dude yeah man just supposed to wear he has his rocker he's wearing you know he's wearing leggings anyway leggings I love the V say shoot himself though hey uh Greg matx there's a bunch of stuff coming out because they they ran a special about him last night in his four years of straight Sai Young winning he threw 37 complete games and only gave up 33 home runs he had more complete games than he gave up home oh my God that's unbelievable right dude what that's ridiculous this I mean I have a DVR so I have to watch it but uh and then there's a clip coming out I think I got a clip ready for uh where he would call his own pitches and they have players who tip pitches he no one picked up he had signals he was calling his own pitches just trying to understand how hitters see the ball and then what can I do with the ball to try to trick them if I'm going to throw a change up I know it's it's it's not worth it unless I've thrown a low fast ball for a strike I have no way to trick The Hitter yeah kind of like you know you can't go fishing without bait you got to bait the hook I think they have a fairly complicated set aside got to bait the hook I never told this to anybody but he called his own pitches I think it's pretty amazing how he did it so how he caught the ball from Eddie determined what the next pitch was going to be when he thre that pitch you go fast ball away fast boide Go's go tap his leg with his glove that is a signed to Eddie Perez this is Cher incurable was this nobody ever knew it that's genius dude what that's so I heard yesterday on the broadcast they brought up Lugo calling his own pitches yeah really yeah I mean the only way you can do that is to have a hand sign a catcher know it's amazing caught on to him those years doing that and he never switched the ball just like yeah just touch his nose you get a curveball how is no one watching all that film not be like crazy man that's a great that's a great nug yeah Maddox has a bunch of nugs by the way you know we were talking about Otani 4040 I got a nug for you otani's season right now would be Barry Bond's 11th best season yes I that's outrageous is that unbelievable like yeah man I was I was we were talking about this at the bar last night oh my did you say it to me yeah I think I did but some else said in 2000s great Era baseball man uh Brewers right on our tals thank God for cidd Buckner he missed 20 calls yesterday in the Brewers game and 15 of them went against the Brewers he called and everything 20 calls yes Robo so and Brewers lost by one to the A's you could uh yeah just play like a a couple of this like 30 seconds but he's missing calls easily strikes this one yeah dude it's not even close I [Music] mean wow dude if that was the Phillies man oh my God that's a wide strike and it's one in one what he was busy on Friday especially on Town service crazy so frustrated that's horrible 15 20 Miss calls 15 against one team 20 Miss calls Robo HS guys that's insane yeah oh my God all right well listen we're out of time
