Magic Eight Balls: Phillies hit a franchise-record eight homers to clinch bye

The Phillies Show

The Phillies clinched a first-round bye on Wednesday night, and they did it in historic fashion.

They smashed a franchise-record eight home runs in a victory over the Marlins. Edmundo Sosa hit three, becoming the first shortstop in Phillies history to homer three times in a game. Kyle Schwarber hit two, moving within two homers of tying Ryan Howard’s franchise-record 58 homers in a season. Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm and Otto Kemp also homered.

We also talk about the craziness in the NL Wild Card race, and Jesús Luzardo’s impressive first season in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1: Okay, this is our own Welcome to the Philly Show.

00:00:09
Speaker 2: Our junior Jim Salisbury, Todd Zoleccki. It's Thursday, September twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. Hope everybody's doing well. Big win on Wednesday night for the Phillies. They clinched a first round by very very important, very important. But they did it in a very fun way. They hit a franchise record eight home runs. And let's start right there, guys, it's time for the park's first pitch. First pitch is brought to us exclusively by our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino man. Eight home runs. Never seen it in a game ever ever Philly's history. They had hit seven home runs four times. Heck of a way to clinch the bye. Guys.

00:01:00
Speaker 1: Oh what a night late September back in twenty five. I mean, seriously, break it out, breaking it out. What were the atmospheric conditions? The ball was flying and you know, no Harper, no real Mudo, no Turner. Oh let's hit eight home runs, right? I mean an incredible way to go in the front door for that buy, which I think is very important because you're going to get that rest, and Kyle Schwarver is gonna get his rest next week. I say, play him right out, pedal to the metal, go after that fifty eight, fifty nine, whatever you can do. He's a he's just so much fun to watch historic night.

00:01:43
Speaker 3: As you said, I mean, I loved every minute, balls which were just flying, and it couldn't for me. It couldn't have happened to a better person as far as Mundo Socia was concerned. He'd been out what twelve days or whatever it was, had not played for quite some time. And for him to bounce back and not only sort of solidified that the middle infield a little bit, because I'd much rather have him at short and certainly, you know Stot at second base. Even though Stott did a heck of a job at shortstop while both those guys Turner and Sosa were out, you know, he held down the fort very well. But I guess I have to say something about a Mundo Sosa. I love this player. So I think about, you know, the impact that certain players have on on a team and the type of people that they are, and I sort of have him on the level of a guy like Chuch So Chucha was one of my favorite players of all time and favorite people of all time that I've ever dealt with in the game. And Mundo Sosa is the most humble, he's the most gracious, and he is one of the I mean, he is so fortunate, feels genuinely fortunate to be able a major league player and to play on this team, and for him to do that and to have that kind of impact on the team's pretty amazing. But he does it pretty much every single time he plays. He does something to impact the game every single day. I think that Rob Thompson's given him a ton of confidence. He believes in him, thinks he's a wonderful player and a person, and trusts him pretty implicitly, and I think that that's helped bring his game forward just a really, really wonderful thing. And as far as Shorebirds concerned, he's musty TV man. He could hit sixty five home runs.

00:03:37
Speaker 1: He might.

00:03:37
Speaker 3: Every single swing is a possible home run.

00:03:40
Speaker 1: That's a great comp between Sosa and Choos, both from Panama, both bringing a love of the game and an exuberance that is infectious. And another great point, I think Rob Thompson, I mean, this is the guy that Saint Louis gave up on a tremendous acquisition by the Phillies in a kind of a non descript trade at the time. Utility in fielder bouncing around.

00:04:03
Speaker 3: Guy.

00:04:03
Speaker 1: Well, he's been a great, great pickup by this organization. And Rob Thompson is a confidence builder. He is a connector with players. He knows how to bring it out of guys. And I do think he's given the so say a ton of confidence. You're right, he makes something happen all the time. I don't think he can overuse him. But man, when you sprinkle him in just right, a week here, a week there, three games here, four games here, you know, instant offense, instant electricity, coming off the il after twelve days and hitting three bombs and having that big smile. I mean, you look, the entire team feels the same way about him as you just explained. You watch the reaction in the dugout. They are genuinely happy for this man. So it takes all the pieces and he's a great one to have sort of, you know, in that utility role.

00:04:53
Speaker 2: How about like just that third home run in the seventh inning that at the almost fan interference and he's on second base, he's kind of like signaling to the dugout. He's kind of having fun out there doing all these hand gestures. He was having a great time, even though he's like, you know, some players might be sitting there going all right, they better give me this third home run. But he was like, all right, you know, I hit two. I'm saying he's having fun with the players in the dugout. I love the comp of Carlos Ruiz, absolutely one of the all time most popular guys in that clubhouse during that run. And a great quote last night I talked with Alec Bohm and I asked him, of all the home runs that you saw hit tonight besides your own, which one was your favorite? And he says Sosa getting three. And he mentionally said, you know, first day off the IL, and said, other than myself, there's no one I'd rather see hit three homers. He's just always ready to play. He's always a great teammate. It makes it even cooler when it happens to everybody's favorite guy. Everybody loves him. Everybody loves him. Yeah boom boom, So I mean there you go. And then Schwarber, you know, Ryan Howard was at the ballpark last night. Yeah, he was. I saw him outside going down to down to the press elevator down into the clubhouse. He was standing in the hallway talking with Bonnie Clark from the Phillies and I was like, how about that. He's like, Oh, they came ready to hit tonight. I said, oh, they might be. He might be trying to run you down. He's like, he might, he might, he might, he might catch me. So the big piece was there, which is funny because we just talked to him late last week and if you haven't checked out that episode, check it out on Monday. But Kyle Schwarber fifty five home run, fifty five and fifty six home runs, most home runs in the season in baseball history, and left handed batter versus a left handed pitcher.

00:06:43
Speaker 3: Twenty believable in history.

00:06:45
Speaker 2: In history. And the guys in the list that are right behind him now Matt Olsen twenty two, Stan Usual twenty two, and then right behind him Barry Bonds twenty one and kN Griffy Junior twenty one. Kan Griffy Junior did it twice, So just absolutely incredible.

00:07:03
Speaker 3: What a historic night man, first time in the history of the franchise. Three home runs from shortstop from Sosa and then this guy does this historic you know thing about against the left handers on his way possibly to the most home runs in Philly's history in a ceason.

00:07:22
Speaker 1: Those names you mentioned, those names you mentioned are some of the greatest. Stan Mushield. Look at Stan Musial's career. When they mentioned the greatest players of all time, you know, like top two or three four, I mean he should be in the discussion. Look at his career. Griffy Junr right there, Bonds obviously right there. Hell of an accomplishment for a guy who used to platoon and couldn't hit left handers. What an amazing improvement he's made to become just a complete hitter.

00:07:52
Speaker 2: And that's what he said last night when asked about the twenty three homers against lefties. You know, I go back to twenty twenty being non tendered and then signing a one year deal, and then you know, he made a point to mention Kevin Long and you know, and how much respect he has for him and just how he helped kind of get his career back on track with the Nationals in twenty twenty one. So he was kind of thinking the same thing. The four home runs they hit in the seventh inning the most homers the Phillies have hit in one inning since August seventeenth, nineteen eighty five. They did that in the seventh inning against the Cubs that night. It was Jan Samuel, Glenn Wilson, Mike Schmidt, and Darren Dalton. So just all sorts of like cool fun numbers that come out of a game like this. You know, Bryce and Scott hit his first homer against the lefties since May of twenty twenty four, longest home run of his career. Yeah, you're talking to Auto Camp after the game. I said, wow, that was that was pretty cool. He's like, yeah, I think this is like the first franchise record I've ever been a part of. I'm like, well, you might be on there. It might be on that list for a while, buddy, for a.

00:08:53
Speaker 3: Long, long long time.

00:08:55
Speaker 1: Actually, I think he set the record in Lehigh Valley for most times getting hit by pitch because when it's inside, he just does not move. It's like a tree, he does not move. He just takes it.

00:09:05
Speaker 3: But so I gotta say, well, just before we finish this first pitch, I gotta say one thing, any similarities or parallels to what what David Ortiz went through? Non tendered by Minnesota, goes to Boston. I mean, then Schwarber gets non tendered was it by Chicago? Who is nondus non tender by the Cups, goes on to have this kind of career. I mean what, Yeah, I have lots of similarities there. Man, it's crazy.

00:09:37
Speaker 1: And he becomes a franchise icon in Boston, and you can see it trending that way for Kyle Schwarber. He is one World Series championship and one contract extension away from being a Philadelphia franchise. And I want to.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: Say, I don't want to say, Jim, you touched on this. He's got to play this weekend. I mean he's he's d hing. There's no there's no there's right, well right, and Rob Thompson said that, but there's no reason arrest him. He's dhing. If they want to get somebody else off their feet, don't play the other guy.

00:10:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you got to buy.

00:10:13
Speaker 3: He's young. I mean, he's playing four straight games.

00:10:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, you play, you rest next week, That's why you got to buy. He's in good shape. I mean, you know this is like sleep when you die, right, sleep when you die. You're gonna go for a franchise record. You're gonna go for a world series Pedal to the Metal five more weeks. You can do it. And I'm sure he would tell you the exact same thing.

00:10:36
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I love it.

Speaker 2: The quarter Where do you look? Nice on the golf course, rubin believe that yes you will, Yes you will. So I want to ask you guys about the buy real quick. But I was looking at the kind of continuing on the the eight home run night, one last thing, I was looking at the four home run games, and it's it's just fun to kind of see some of the names that pop up in these historic you know, previously franchised record seven home run games. You know, they had one on August twenty eighth, obviously, when Schwarber hit four.

00:13:03
Speaker 3: JT.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: Max Kapler, Bryce Harper also homered in that game. I would bet you I'm not gonna give you guys too much time on this, but June first, twenty twenty one against the Reds that Phillies hit seven home runs. I'm going to bet that you guys can't name more than two players on this list that hit home runs on this game. I'm gonna see if you guys can do June first, twenty twenty one, Gary one. Nope, you're you're thinking, you're thinking guys that are unlikely. So you're you're kind of you're I like where you're going with this. Andrew McCutcheon hit two Reyes Hoskins hit one. Scott Kingery, I mean, you're thinking in the right frame of mind that you're right here the team. Oh, Dubal Herrera hit to that night. Good job, Ruben. And there's two other what I would I would say way more obscure than that. I'll give it to you guys. Matt Joyce, oh my and Ronald Terreus.

00:14:17
Speaker 1: Oh my god. What so Joe Giardi was the manager I love he loved his big toe.

00:14:27
Speaker 3: He loved the big tae, he loved the big toe.

00:14:30
Speaker 2: And Ronald Terreas so kind of I was looking at those names. I was like, Wow. They hit July twenty six, twenty eighteen, against the Reds, they also hit seven. Reese Hoskins hit two, Carlos Santana, Nick Williams hit two, Michael Franco hit two. September eighth, nineteen ninety eight against the Mets. Rico Broni hit two, Kevin Sefsik hit two, Bobby Estalala hit two, and Marlon Anderson hit one. So kind of fun looking at those names, you know, looking back and going, oh my god, Bobby.

00:14:59
Speaker 3: I was on that team. What was that last one you were talking about?

00:15:01
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety eight September eighth, nineteen ninet. Last year, is that your last year?

00:15:05
Speaker 3: Okay? That was like literally days before iverytheame the assistant GM.

00:15:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right. So guys, the uh, the Phillies clinched the first round by because of their win last night and so right, so they're going to be locked into the number two seed unless the Brewers collapse and I don't even you know, actually I don't even know what happened. If they can get the number one seed, I should off the top of my head. But they're yeah, outside chance. So they're locked into the number two seed pretty much, which means they'll be playing the number three seed or the number six seed, whoever wins that NL Wildcard series. So it's gonna be either the Dodgers or the Mets, or the Reds or the Diamondbacks. Nobody wants to win that number six seed. The I mean the Reds since they overtook the Mets have lost two in a row. They lost an extra innings on Wednesday night against the Pirates.

00:16:02
Speaker 3: It was fun.

00:16:02
Speaker 2: We were waiting in the clubhouse for players to come out, and you hear coaches, the coaches in the coaches room were watching the game and they were going nuts, just as you know, that red scheme kind of played out. Any thoughts on on the by and you know who you think they might play?

00:16:21
Speaker 1: I just think, honestly, you talk about the National League Wildcard, who's going to get the final one? You know, the Mets up by a game, with the Reds and the Diamondbacks right there, game back, head into the final weekend. It has been an amazing final week all over baseball. I mean, you look what the Phillies did last night, bashing the ball all over the place. You look at this Mets collapse trying to hang on get in the wildcard. Can the Reds or the or the Diamondbacks do it? I mean the Diamondbacks with sellers now, they're right there. But you look over in the American League, the Yankees have evened it up with the Blue Jays. The blue Jays are nose diving, the Tigers are in the middle of a historic swan dive. The Cleveland Indians now lead the American League Central by a game. They were eleven games back. They were eleven games back this month. And then you look at cal Rawly bashes to last night to go to sixty as they won a division for the first time since one when they won one hundred and sixteen games. This Tiger's collapse is amazing. It's been a fabulous final week and it's going to continue right right to the end. The races, even though we're in an era where with the wildcard and six teams in each league and that can dilute a race, these races are fantastic.

00:17:40
Speaker 3: So let me ask this question. So the Detroit Tigers could actually be out of the playoffs completely, They're only like a game up right, I think they're only a game up on like the wild card.

00:17:50
Speaker 1: The last one. Yeah, amazing, I mean it will be.

00:17:55
Speaker 3: It will go down as one of the greatest collapses since nineteen sixty four, maybe even greater and the one with the Mets when we beat him in two thousand and seven.

00:18:04
Speaker 1: It's huge. I can only imagine what the fans are doing, what that town is like. I have a.

00:18:12
Speaker 3: Someone who married my aunt who's uh a Tom Zerger, who is a huge, huge Detroit Tigers fan, and you know, every time I go there, we spend time. He is distraught, hanging there, Zerg hanging their baby.

00:18:27
Speaker 1: I'm sure the talk radio. I'm sure the talk radio there in Detroit is really really patient.

00:18:34
Speaker 2: Well, the Tigers have lost eight in a row. The Astros have lost five in row. The Astros are a game behind the Tigers right now for that last wild card spot. So it's same thing like no one, no one wants to win it, no one wants They're all back and d Yeah, the Mets lost last night, the Diamondbacks lost last night. The Reds have lost two in a row. So I can't wait to see how how that, how that shakes out. But yeah, you're tighter and tighter boys. Yeah, heights fingers, You're right about that. But I love I like the you know you mentioned like the the six teams in every every league gym. I I love it. I mean, you know, it's it's made everything a lot more exciting, you know, get more teams involved, more cities involved, more, more people interested in baseball for longer. And uh, you never know that. You know, somebody was saying to me in the clubhouse last night, and you know who's going to beat the Dodgers and the Mets, Diamondbacks are Reds. I'm like, well, have you seen the Dodgers bullten lately, they have.

00:19:35
Speaker 3: To put some starters in the pen.

00:19:37
Speaker 1: Anything can happen, anything can And.

00:19:39
Speaker 5: That's what I mean, Like, yeah, exactly, Like you know, you have if if shohe Otani is starting whatever, say, game one of the wild Card Series and he punches out thirteen reds in six scoreless innings, and now he's reached his pitch count, and now you have to go to you know, trying in And you.

00:19:56
Speaker 2: Know that sounds funny saying these names, because Burg they're so damn good. Tanner Scott and you know you have put a couple of guys on and lie Daily Cruz hits a bomb, they win three two. Now we're going to Cincinnati. Now we're going to Cincinnati.

00:20:12
Speaker 3: So one team I do not want to face because their bullpends so great is San Diego.

00:20:18
Speaker 1: Very good.

00:20:18
Speaker 3: San Diego is a scary, scary team right now. And you know, I'm more afraid of San Diego than any other team in the National League for me.

00:20:30
Speaker 2: That would be well, the way it's leaning right now, they could not They probably will not play them until the NLCS, I hope not. Yeah, yeah, NLCS because they bought the Padres have a looks like a five and a half game lead over the Mets for the for the fifth spot, fifth seeds, So it looks like it's gonna be Cubs Podreys in a wild Card series and then Dodgers versus again Metts, Diamondbacks, Reds so h you know, it is a great place to watch if you want to watch, If you want to watch Kyle Schwarber, try to run down the big piece above the big piece, try to run down the big piece. If you want to watch the Mets madness, the Diamondbacks madness, the Reds, man As, the Tigers, the Guardians, all these teams. Parks Casino, Sportsbook, Park Casino, ABA heck of a place to watch.

00:22:34
Speaker 2: Brian Reagan's funny man. I've seen his specials on you know, various TV in the Internet. He's great. So any any other night on Wednesday night, got in really easy Philly story to write. I'm writing Hayesus Lizardo. Hayesus Zzardo pitches seven innings, double digit strikeouts. He finishes this season fifteen to seven, three nine to two EARRA, career high innings one hundred and eighty three and two thirds innings, a career highd strikeouts two hundred and sixteen strikeouts. Man, he heck of a heck of a trade for the Phillies, and in an off season in which you know, their free agent signings did not work out as hoped. That trade that happened just before Christmas December twenty third, for a couple of prospects Starling Caba a Marion Boyd. I mean, man, where would the Phillies be without Jesus Lozardo?

00:23:32
Speaker 1: What does the RA be without about three innings.

00:23:36
Speaker 2: Three point zero four e RA. And he would probably be getting some cy Young votes probably, I mean yeah, down ballot cy Young, but yeah, and he wouldn't be, you know, going up against Skian and Sanchez. But if he had a little bit of a lower e RA, I think he might get a few couple cy Young votes. But what a heck of a season for Jesus's are down, he said Wednesday night. To think he's probably most proud of is how he bounced back from those two starts. Jim, those those horrific nightmarish starts against the Brewers and the Blue Jays where he gave up twenty earned runs and like five innings or something like that.

00:24:19
Speaker 3: Where everybody knew what every pitch was.

00:24:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he said, I clean up the tipping and yeah, and.

00:24:27
Speaker 1: He's had is he had a career high in innings.

00:24:29
Speaker 3: Yes, right, yes, career ryan strikeouts.

00:24:33
Speaker 1: He should be very proud of the career high and high in innings because he came in with a checkered health history and he's he's proven to himself that he can get over that mountaintop. And I think all pitchers have to go through that because you have to build a workload. I think still, you know, the innings aren't what they used to be, but I think on within a roster you can still have workhorses, and he certainly can be one of them. So he's gotten over that innings hump and I could see big things from him in October and beyond next year. I think he'd be really you know, he's going to continue to be a mainstay of this rotation.

00:25:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I love, love, love the way he's bounced back. Great kid, we've had him on the podcast. Please take a look at it. We've had it, you know, a couple of months ago. Really enjoyed, you know, chatting with him. But he's one of those kids that you know, he's pretty emotional. You don't sometimes you see it on the mound, but he's pretty emotional. I think he calmed those down a little bit. When things start to go a little south on him, where things start to break on him, he's I think it was a maturing season for him. I think he grew a lot. I think that's really important for him and his long term success.

00:25:49
Speaker 1: But you're talking about a.

00:25:50
Speaker 3: Guy who's throwing ninety seven ninety eight miles an hour in like the last inning, sometimes ninety nine after one hundred and eighty innings, pitched in the big leagues. So health wise, that's huge. And you can't say enough about the trade. Where would they be, as you said, Todd, where would the third starter be in these playoffs if he did not exist on this team. He was a huge, huge acquisition. They didn't do great on their signings, but they you know, Dave Dombrowska did a hell of a job on his trades. Bader Dron and this guy. To start off in December, whenever it was a huge Yeah.

00:26:34
Speaker 2: You think back back to that trade they traded yea again, Starling Cobb at the time was a top one hundred prospect of Marion Boyd. Both young players, both struggled this season. I mean, maybe one of both of those guys become big time stars for the Marlins, but you know, for the Phillies trying to win a World Series, he needed some rotation depth. So you trade those guys. Yeah, And if Starling cobbens and becoming an All star, multi year All Star shortstop, okay, But if Phillies win a World Series this year, next or both years or whatever you got to you gotta take a shot and do that.

00:27:05
Speaker 1: So I love the way. I love the way Lozardo can lock up a right handed hitter inside with paint powerful paint cut.

00:27:16
Speaker 3: And it's I think it's something they said, and I think it's one thing that he sort of learned through watching guys like Suarez who throws a ninety mile an hour fastball inside on right handers and can lock them up. This guy throws in ninety seven or ninety eight, and then you know you also see Christopher Sanchez doing the same thing. I think they've learned up from each other. You know, these guys are know how important it is to you know, get the ball in on them because then they can use their other stuff, their off speed stuff later on in the in the a bat or during the course of the at bat.
