Seven in a row! The Phillies sweep Colorado

00:00:04
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Bryce Harper and welcome to the Billy Show. Hey, everybody, Ruben Tomorrow, Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todd's lucky. It's the Philly Show. It's Friday, May twenty third, twenty twenty five. Gentlemen, how are we today?

00:00:19
Speaker 2: Perfect?

00:00:20
Speaker 3: Excellent, excellent? Thank you?

00:00:22
Speaker 1: All right, it's Memorial Day weekend.

00:00:26
Speaker 3: You know what I Memorial Day weekend. You're allowed to say it's no longer early in a small season. Now this is when you can finally say it, it's no longer early.

00:00:39
Speaker 1: That's right.

00:00:40
Speaker 3: All the people I annoy by saying it's early, it's you know, in two or three days. It's no longer early.

00:00:48
Speaker 1: So you can't say anymore.

00:00:49
Speaker 3: Jim can't say it's like it's like it's like wishing somebody a happy New Year on January twentieth. It's just too late. So true.

00:01:02
Speaker 1: Well, Jim, it's no longer early. So we got to talk about this. Then the Phillies sweep the the really lowly.

00:01:10
Speaker 3: Rockies this week. They're an embarrassment.

00:01:13
Speaker 1: That that's a bad team. Guys, that's a bad team. But they did what they're supposed to do, right. They throttled a really bad team. They won Thursday to nothing for shutout at at Coursefield by the Phillies since twenty eleven, so they sweep the four game series. They've won seven in a row. They're thirty two and eighteen overall. It's the best record in the National League. They have a two game lead over the Mets in the National League East. They're on pace to win one hundred and three games. Not saying they're gonna win one hundred and three. We don't know what's gonna happen, but they're playing pretty good baseball right now.

00:01:50
Speaker 3: Sure are getting good pitching. I mean, they had fifty hits five zero hits in that four game series in Colorado. Fifty hits. It's a lot of hits in one series, and it was a four game series. But you know, their bats have been good. Harper's been on fire. Turner's got like thirty hits this month and the months still got what ten days ago, eight days to go. Bone's been swinging a good Harper's been you know, Harper's swing has calmed down. His feet. When his feet are quiet, he doesn't have happy feet. When he has happy feet, his head moves, his eyes move, he doesn't square it up. He's very he's very quiet in the badest box right now. Feet are quiet, and he's squaring it up. Swing just let it happen, nice, easy swings. He's such a strong man, he does not need to swing violently. And he just looks really really good right now.

00:02:43
Speaker 4: Slow feet, quick hands. Charlie used to say all the time. The guy that's really swinging a bat well for me is Turner.

00:02:53
Speaker 2: You know he hit a home run.

00:02:55
Speaker 5: I think it was Thursday, Is that right?

00:02:59
Speaker 2: No, it was Wednesday, Wednesday to.

00:03:03
Speaker 4: Left, and the swing looked very much like his WBC swings. Just nice level, smooth swing, pull side backspin, high finish bat through his own flat, nice back spin.

00:03:19
Speaker 2: Loved it.

00:03:20
Speaker 5: And you know he's also hitting the ball in the opposite field.

00:03:24
Speaker 3: All the guys are.

00:03:25
Speaker 4: Using the whole field, and you know, he's been the most consistent guys. Casian just keeps getting his hits. He's not hitting the ball out of the ballpark, but he's getting his hits. I mean, guy's hitting I think he's still hitting three hundred or close to it.

00:03:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been tremendous. What about do you think it's what about Harper shaving?

00:03:43
Speaker 3: His head.

00:03:43
Speaker 1: Man, the guy's been.

00:03:43
Speaker 5: On fire since it's all about the weave.

00:03:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets a wig busted. Next thing, you know, he's caught fire. I look at this, So he shaved this head. On May twelve, he goes over three that night with a walk against the Cardinals. In the next night games, he's batting four to seventy one. He's sixteen for thirty four, five doubles, home run ten RBIs a twelve hundred plus ops. Here's the here's the thing that's amazing these last nine games. I mean, all those numbers are amazing. Like anybody would kill to have a nine game stretch like that. He's got four walks in that stretch. He struck out one time in the last nine games. One time in the last nine games.

00:04:27
Speaker 3: You mentioned the hair, and it has nothing to zero to do with the hair, but it has zero too. But I am a believer in this that the mind can leave the body in a lot of ways. And I do believe in certain instances in a mental reset, and if that can be the symbol of a mental reset, you know, start anew you know, he just find it's like, you know, kind of like once a year when I clean off my desk. It's like glean. Yeah, it's like a mental reset and you have like a really good week after that. And I just wonder if symbolically cut his hair, but it acted like a it served as a mental reset, kind of a cleansing breath, and maybe it just helped something. Maybe it slowed him down, but who knows. Like I said, it has nothing to do with the hair. So it's something.

00:05:32
Speaker 2: There is something to say about.

00:05:36
Speaker 4: The game of baseball being what's heal? Yeah, I mean you have to do a lot of a lot of negativity and sometimes a reset ain't the worst thing.

00:05:47
Speaker 1: Todd, No, I was gonna say.

00:05:49
Speaker 3: So.

00:05:50
Speaker 1: In September of twenty twenty three, the Phillies were in San Diego and Bryce was really going through it at the time. It was early September, and before one of the games, he shaved his beard. So he's clean shaving. I mean it looked he popped out of the dug. I we like, you know, you see somebody has shaved their mustache or beer for a long time. It's just jumped out at you. So after that game, I think it was Mac Gelb goes like, so, uh, you know, what's what why'd you shave your beard? And Bryce goes, uh, I mean, you guys know, everybody knows. And then so he he goes over three with the walk that night in San Diego, just like he did the first night he shaved his head in Saint Louis. And then in the final twenty two games of the twenty twenty three regular season, Bryce betted two ninety four, six home runs, seventeen RBIs and ops over one thousand. So last two times he's done some some hair work, cleaning, little clean up work. He's uh, he's caught fire, so maybe there's something to that. I wish I could do something yard.

00:06:48
Speaker 5: Last couple of times he's trimmed the yard.

00:06:50
Speaker 2: He's gone yet, yeah, exactly right.

00:06:53
Speaker 1: He has heat it up in the Yeah. So it's you know, phillies are on a roll right now. Phillies are on But guys, it's Memorial Day weekend. And if you're not going to the shore, and I'm not going to the shore, so swing by my neck of the woods. Come to Delco. It's hang out Delco. They say, it's a lot in the right.

00:08:24
Speaker 2: He still waiting on my visit on my.

00:08:28
Speaker 3: Will we make it happen? Is that parade like one year older than the Phillies. What is this one three for the Phillies.

00:08:36
Speaker 2: Oh not sure, boy.

00:08:40
Speaker 1: Now you get to ask me to do math Jim eighteen eighty three. Maybe that's pretty wild though, phill Yeah, Phillies has been.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: In the same neighborhood.

00:08:48
Speaker 1: To get back to us, call in one eight hundred, tell us of what the math is?

00:08:54
Speaker 3: I think slide and Billy Hamilton was the first Grand Marshal of that parade and Grand Marshall, huh did who were you there? No? No, no, I wasn't there.

00:09:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, So check that out in Delco. You know that that'll be fun. Well, Like I said, I've been to that It's worth More Farmers Market before and it is. It's a good good place to go, check out and walk around. So a couple of things from this week I want to get your guys opinion on. So in Denver this week, Rob Thompson told the reporters there that after Taiwan Walker's start, he is when Aaron Renola is ready to rejoin the rotation. It could be soon he's going to throw off the mound this weekend in Sacramento at some point they think he's going to be back. You know close to you know, the fifteen days, if not fifteen days and not long after that. But when Aaron Nola returns, they're going to move Taiwan Walker back to the bullpen, of course. And he said that they are going to keep him in the bullpen. So in other words, if somebody would have to miss a start or whatever, they're going to try to bring up somebody to take that guy's place and keep Taiwan in the bullpen. And I want to ask you guys about that, because you know it, they got to start figuring out what guys can do. With Elado out for eighty games and ineligible for the post season. You got to figure out if can Taiwan actually be a high leverage guy before the July thirty first trade deadline. Man, man, if he can do it, boy, now maybe you don't have to go out and get to guys if they were thinking they might need to get you guys. Do you guys like this idea?

00:10:30
Speaker 3: Well, that's definitely what it's all about. Finding out and the spot start thing. It's no coincidence that it comes a few days after make Abele's gem. They feel confident they got somebody who can spot start there, and you know, we're counting down toward we're getting closer to the painters. So those are your two guys that they would start if they needed someone. But yeah, you got to find out about Taiwan and it has to start now, So that's I still think they're going to need somebody at the deadline. We'll see what level of reliever they need. But I think they're gonna need a leverage guy towards the back end. I thought they needed one before Alvarado. I think it's still gonna need one. But if Taiwan can go out there and and pitch in with that split, maybe you know that split works against lefties. You know, we'll see obviously the down to lefty, they're gonna need some somebody who can get help help with left handed batters. Maybe maybe it's him.

00:11:23
Speaker 4: So when you say they got to find out about him, there's layers to that, right. So first it's can he pitch deeper into the game and high leverage situations? That's one. Can he get up and get ready that's two, because he hasn't really had to do that, he's really been the long guy, so he's already already been you know, he's basically you know, knows when he's going to be coming into the game sort of and has had time. He hasn't not going to be coming in necessarily with traffic, I mean all those things.

00:11:57
Speaker 5: There's a lot of layers to pitching in the even eighth and night.

00:12:01
Speaker 4: That are really different from being a long guy and just a PM guy, and they got to find out whether he can make that adjustment.

00:12:09
Speaker 2: And it's going to be graduate.

00:12:10
Speaker 4: So I think it's gonna be Okay, we're gonna give m clean inning in the seventh, We're gonna get him the clean inning in the eighth, We're gonna give him a dirty inning in the.

00:12:19
Speaker 2: Sixth or set.

00:12:20
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a whole process I think that has to happen, and they don't have the luxury of sending him down to do that, so they're gonna have to find out if he can do it in real time to win games, and then they're gonna go from there.

00:12:34
Speaker 1: What a great, you know story he's been already and what a kind of a great story would be if if he can actually do this. And you know, a guy that every fan said, why are they bringing him into spring training? Cannot believe he's starting the sixth game of the season. I think it was the sixth game of the season. Unbelievable. And you know, he pitches great in the rotation, and now they're they might be able to lean on him as a as an unexpected Uh you know.

00:13:08
Speaker 3: I'm gonna you know, like back in the old days, the basketball players when they had to follow had to raise their hand. I'm gonna raise my hand. I didn't think he was gonna be in clear Water back in August and September October. I didn't think he'd be back. When I saw him take the mound, I saw the guys behind him look beaten, and I just didn't think he'd be back. So hats off to him. He worked really hard. He's shown a lot of character. He's got a little bit of a tick or to on his stuff on his fastball that's helped everything else. And he really has shown a lot of character. And you know, from a guy that a lot of people thought they should have said goodbye to to. Now they're you know, making plans to well. They they started him early in the year and now they're making plans to see if he can pitch and leverage he's really become a very important contributor to this team. So congratulations to him.

00:14:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, same here. I mean for him the work is rear end Off. I didn't think he was gonna be able to build that arm speedback, and he has, and they're hoping that he gets another extra tick, you know when he gets to the pen and he's only throwing like one inning where he can kind of empty the tank a little bit more. So, it's an interesting process. It's an interesting development for the season. But you have to have those things happen when when you're trying to win a World Series, good things like that to have to happen, and sometimes your biggest hero is you really weren't necessarily counting on.

00:14:39
Speaker 1: That's right, one hundred percent. So when we come back, I want to ask you guys about what sure looks like a regular, full time, old fashioned platoon at second base FT.

00:14:51
Speaker 6: Fam, Let's talk about the Hof app. If you're into parlays, but sometimes you're missing the mark more than you would like to. Can I introduce you to some serious analytics on an app that is easy to read and comprehend. And I'm sitting next to a man who knows how to place a parlay.

00:15:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the biggest thing is breaking down a parlay With this Hall of Fame app, there's the situations that you'll be you'll find easier to do. It's very helpful and understanding. And if you like, you know, gambling, sometimes this is really good to know. So get on there, get on that Hall of Fame app and check it out.

00:15:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is info that will help you.

00:15:27
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:15:28
Speaker 6: With a four point nine rating in the app Store and over six thousand and five star reviews, safe to say that HOF has already helped a lot of people that smarter. For a limited time only, FT listeners can get a seven day free trial and fifty percent off their first month when they use code foul at check out. Download the HOF app on iOS or Android. Enter code foul and you're all set.

00:15:53
Speaker 1: We are back, guys. Ed Munda Sosa keeps starting against left handed pitching. Stott is starting against right handed pitching. It seems like it's a platoon. It's it sure is a platoon. And I think this, I think that is the way that Rob Thomas is going to keep going. He's going to keep riding it out this way. I know we've talked a lot about it would be great to see Bryson Stott get some opportunities against left handed pitching, but doesn't look like it can happen anytime soon. Like I said, you know, Sosa this season against lefties is batting four thirty eight OPS over one thousand and thirty two at bats against lefties. Bryson Stott is batting two thirty three, five seventy OPS and thirty at bats against lefties. You know, Sosa overall this season is batting three seventy seven with a nine to twenty six OPS. And so I think Rob's just is like in my yeah, in my in my opinion, it's like if if Sosa had come down to Earth and say he was hitting two sixty two fifty, striking out a bunch, and then I think you might see Stott gets some opportunities against left handed pitching. But the fact that every time he plays against lefties seems to get a hit or two and seem to do something positive. I think. I think Bob Thompson just like I got to keep throwing this guy out here.

00:17:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, the numbers bear it out. I mean, his performance against left handers, you've got to get him in there, and you know, I don't know if it'll be that way all season. I still think Stott at some point it's gonna it'll tip in his favor. But as right now, with Sosa swinging it and you know, making an impact every time he's in the lineup, it makes an impact. You have to get creative and find ways to get him in there because he helps win ball games.

00:17:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely makes an impact every time he steps on the field, he does something.

00:17:47
Speaker 5: You know, I noticed something about him.

00:17:49
Speaker 2: Do you know he's one of.

00:17:50
Speaker 4: The fastest sprint speed guys in all of baseball. He's like number seven week or some crazy number like that, because I saw Bobby and I was looking at Johann Johan.

00:18:03
Speaker 5: And uh and also Turner because they're up there in the top five. But I think Sosa is like seventh or.

00:18:10
Speaker 1: He's uh he is tied for Rubin. He is tied for twelve in baseball and that's out of just to put this into respective, out of four hundred and twenty nine players. Yeah, so's he's a brand.

00:18:25
Speaker 5: He's not necessarily a base dealer, but he can really run. So so here's my take.

00:18:30
Speaker 4: I mean, I like to see Bryce's top play every day. But the guy has to play.

00:18:36
Speaker 5: He has to.

00:18:37
Speaker 4: I mean, at Munda, Sosa needs to get his at bats. And do I wish maybe he could play center or left field?

00:18:44
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm not sure. I know the sort of experimented with it.

00:18:48
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that they felt comfortable enough with that experiment. I wish there were ten positions on the field so the guy could be in there. But sure so well against lefties, he's not going to come out, so he's going to continue to DH and do his thing.

00:19:06
Speaker 5: And it's sort of a tough situation for Rob Thompson.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: To be in, but a good one.

00:19:12
Speaker 4: And I mean, at the end of the day, I'd love to see Scott lead off every day. Lefty your righting, But the way things are going right now, man, they're trying to win games. So let's win games with the best lineup I can possibly throw out there, and Sosa has to be part of that equation.

00:19:27
Speaker 2: So you know, they're not they're.

00:19:30
Speaker 4: Not in the business right now of developing. They're in the business of witting. And so that's why are you going to see Sosa until you know he starts to level off or if he levels off.

00:19:41
Speaker 3: He may not.

00:19:43
Speaker 2: You're gonna this is what you're gonna see.

00:19:44
Speaker 3: I guess they are big time in the business of winning. This nucleus is getting older, huge payroll, a lot of stars north to thirty, a lot of expectation, big expectations in that thinking is going to impact their thinking at the trade deadline. You know, they're gonna have to be open minded to move in someone they don't want to move. And it's gonna suck because I'm excited about four or five of these prospects, right, but you got to win this year, next year, I don't know, you know, you really got to do it, and you've got to go all out to try to make it happen.

00:20:27
Speaker 5: And I sort of feel for Dave Dombrowski a little bit insomuch that you almost feel like you have to do something at the trade deadline.

00:20:36
Speaker 8: That's how I felt when we were in these situations that you had to add pieces or a piece, because then it becomes a little bit of a downer in the clubhouse, like what's going on?

00:20:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really do think it's it's something that sort of has to happen, and they're.

00:20:53
Speaker 4: Going to give up a pretty good player to get it done. And that's disappointing, but that's part of the game. That's why you build your system, that's why you get that's why you have a good scouting director and good international folks to do just that.

00:21:09
Speaker 3: But I don't want to add a piece this year to send a message to the clubhouse and charge up the clubhouse. I really think, even after we take a look these next handful of weeks that the options, internal options they have in the boat play, still think they're going to need a good arm down there, not to just charge people up to I'm talking to kill.

00:21:28
Speaker 5: They need to add, they need to add Oh yeah, you want to get better.

00:21:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely need to add something, I think for sure. And and you know, I just you know, Schwarber is a free agent. We've talked about this. JT. Real Muto is a free agent. We've talked about this, Ranger Swarez is a free agent. You know, we've talked about this. And you don't you think they're going to resign Schwarber. You know, you got to think that they're going to resign Schwarber. But can they resign Schwarber and JT? I mean, you know, JT is not having the best year offensively, of course, but actually so valuable behind the plate. And if you lose him, man, that's a real big blow to the pitching staff because those guys love throwing to him. And so I do look at this season and it's not like it's the only opportunity that they're going to have over the next several years doing the world's here, but man, it might this might be this. You really do want to strike right now, So you really do, I think, want to try to add if you can, and and.

00:22:22
Speaker 3: You want to have the best possible team you can have in October.

00:22:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. I mean they're going to be facing Mason Miller this weekend and in Sacramento, and that's a guy we talked a lot about last year at the trade deadline, and I'm sure it'll come up again. I mean that the A's are playing, they're okay, they're I don't you know, they're they're under five hundred.

00:22:41
Speaker 3: But isn't playing like Crabb right now?

00:22:45
Speaker 1: Under five hundred?

00:22:46
Speaker 3: Right?

00:22:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're under They've.

00:22:47
Speaker 3: Lost, They've lost like thirteen out of fifteen.

00:22:50
Speaker 9: Yeah, they can struggle, and I think they put their win streak or losing streak.

00:22:54
Speaker 2: Losing streak.

00:22:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are nine, so they've credited. I mean this this, you know the teams the Phillies are facing here, the Pirates, the Rockies, and the A's. I mean you talk about making hay. I mean they could make a.

00:23:07
Speaker 5: Lot of hay for a lot of and they won every game so far.

00:23:11
Speaker 3: I mean, they can keep doing it. The A's are just they have absolutely cratered. But Mason Miller, if they want to stick him in the luggage rack on the way home, I think they can find room for him.

00:23:23
Speaker 4: I don't know they're gonna take a lot because they got what foe three years of.

00:23:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, four years, and they've tried. They've tried on Mason Miller last summer, this winter, we're talking about Boom and Mason Miller. Those guys were all you know, they approached Oakland about that and that control is so valuable for the A's. But if they they're gonna want a lot because like you said, the four years of control, he's thrown out. He throws one hundred and two and he just blows people away.

00:23:57
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

00:23:58
Speaker 1: It seems like such a luxury too for a team like that. That might not win in the next couple of years. Do you need a guy throwing a hundred? I mean, you need a guy throw.

00:24:05
Speaker 4: They're gonna do well because there's about four or five teams who could really lose use it a closer. They're going to maximize and I don't blame them, and they're gonna get two or three or four prospects that are outstanding, and the Phillies have them. But the question is, is that price goulna be too heavy?

00:24:25
Speaker 3: Right?

00:24:26
Speaker 1: I mean, if the if the a's. If the A's called Dave Denbrowski and said, well, you know, Aiden Miller, let's start with Aiden Miller. Mick abel edward O, ty, I don't I don't know. I'm just saying, like to me, I got it. Any any one of those guys, you gotta go, Oh my.

00:24:39
Speaker 5: God, we gotta it makes it Mike's life tough.

00:24:43
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they are prospects, Its true, and.

00:24:48
Speaker 3: There would be future Las Vegas a's.

00:24:52
Speaker 5: And also good ones.

00:24:54
Speaker 9: And also it's like that's what makes it tough because when we made our deals, they were guys that were a little bit further away, and when we got you know, the os Waltz and uh and the hundred Pences of the World and even you know, Doc Halliday and Cliff Lee.

00:25:10
Speaker 5: I mean, you're we didn't really give up.

00:25:13
Speaker 2: We give up what we thought were pretty good players.

00:25:15
Speaker 4: But I don't think there would be the level of these types of players, and because these guys are going to make an impact in the big leagues.

00:25:22
Speaker 1: And I just think too, like, either you go for it or you don't go for it. Isn't there some aspect of that as well?

00:25:29
Speaker 2: Right?
