A two home run night for Francisco Indoor five nothing
Mets in the bottom of the seven ohing two.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Here's the pitch trying in a mist like three Snyder
in the dirt to rings tax Harper put it in
the books.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The Mets hold on.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It got frightening in the ninth inning, but they hold
on to take the opener of this three game series
from the Phillies and have won their fifth consecutive ball game.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You know, it's not how Phillies fans drew it up
by no means yesterday. But I will tell you this,
I don't remember April baseball hitting the way it has
in a long damn time, whether it's against the Braves
in a big series, whether we're looking at the Yankees
(01:23):
and what they were doing and two weeks ago, I
forget their opponent, shame on me, but it had a
big time vibe to it. Oh, it was the it
was the Arizona Diamondbacks where the whole Yankee Stadium was
on their feet. And then the one Diamondbacks hitter goes
yard for a Grand Slam, just playoff vibes. And then
(01:44):
for the Phillies last night, take it on the Mets.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Five to four finals score not what Phillies fans want
to see. But folks, relax, calm down, take a deep breath.
This season, this season's got a long people. Phillies fans
are just over blowing at this point in time. And
I get it, it's what we do. But it's tough
to be a fan on the timeline these days. It
(02:09):
really is. There's just way too much. Uh, the sky
is falling. And we do this every year. It's nothing new,
but shame on the people. Do you know what it is?
You know what is new, Luke, is that there are
new people that you do follow over the last six
to eight months that it was not baseball season. It's
the people that continue to grow their own platforms. So
(02:31):
they need to put something out so you can look
at them. People that know better than to complain about
a Monday night loss game thirty. Are they even thirty
eight games into the season. Yeah, but they're I think
they played for thirty eight eight's what's the rector like,
I think they're thirty ten.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, I they got their poison at me. They're poison
in me right now.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I mean we're halfway through the first quarter of a
football game right now.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, fourteen and nine. The Yankees are shame on me,
my fault.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't know where I got that number from.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Regardless, even worse, And that's the issue. The timeline is
filled with people that look at me, look at me,
And it's a lot to do with the sports radio syndrome.
It's a lot to do with the podcasters that I mean,
could we put a tariff on podcasting gear? Could we
stop selling that stuff for the next year? How about that? Anyways?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Microphones and body mics, we need to stop selling those
those little handhelds people to the stadium. Correct that that
should be what's tariff next?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, welcome to the party here, it's the Daily Ticket
on a Tuesday, my first day back. I can't thank
the folks over at Playfly Sports and Villanova Athletics for
throwing a great golf outing yesterday. At white man Or
Country Club. My first time swinging it. And I'll tell
you what my body feels like that oo feels like
it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I actually ended up hitting them a little after work yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, you know, so I'm rocking the swing and thing
of shirt. I hit them up.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I had some fun out there with our group. We
shot three under. Nothing too special, but it was you
had fun though.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I had a blast. It was windy it Oh yeah, dude,
I was.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Really with the wind. The wind might just own us,
like this might never end. Yeah, every I feel like
I feel like every day has been like twenty twenty
five million hour winds.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, it was really sing man.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I feel like I've played like four or five rounds
of golf over the last few weeks, and every time
I feel like at home hitting right into the wind,
it's brutal.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I was.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I was hitting one hundred and fifty five yards in
on like a I swear it was like one twenty
eight and it didn't go anywhere. I was like, all right,
there's just not much you can do. I'm not that
good of a golfer the way it is, and now
you're putting this and oh, by the way, it was
the first time on the course since since November or
October the last time I played, So yeah, it was
(04:57):
but it was fun. Had a blast out there. Can't
thank the folks over at play fly Sports and of
course Villanova Athletics teaming up. Great job across the board.
Head coach Mark Ferrante from Villanova football is out there.
Met a lot of great sponsors that we often hear
on the Villanova hoops and Villanova football broadcasts right here
on Fox Sports Radio Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So again, just some awesome fun yesterday All.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Right, nin I got home watched some great NBA playoff basketball.
But we're gonna open up with the Phills and the Mets.
Your takeaway from last night. Again, we're not saying that
the sky is following the world's coming to ten all
of a sudden, this team is going to lose. But
you know, if you could go ahead and fix example
A for this Philly squad, what are we looking at
(05:40):
first right now? Is this a straight up bullpen issue
for you, Luke?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, Yeah, it's just it's just been abysmal. They're they're
killing like they're killing any sort of momentum. The Phillies
are trying to gain right now. I mean, obviously, last night,
Aaron Nola go out, lets up the solo home run
to Lindor, let's up a solo home run to Winker,
(06:04):
and then I thought he settled in after that. I
actually I thought that was some of the best stuff
I've seen from Nola so far this year, which for
me was a good sign. I know that people only
box score hunt and seventy five percent Timeline will tell
me and say, well, Aaron Nola allowed four more runs again,
(06:25):
and he stinks. But I know about eighty percent of
them probably didn't watch the game. They're just sort of
box score hunting, which, hey, you do you but yeah,
it's it's it's just a weird sort of vibe around
them right now. It's you're getting a lot out of
your starters and then you turn it over to a
(06:47):
bullpen who. I'm not necessarily worried about top guys. I'm
not worried about Josey Alvarado. I'm not worried about Matt Strom,
even though his v low's down. I'm not worried about Kirk.
I mean, before Sunday's game, like thirty four of his
last thirty eight outings at home were scoreless. I'm I'm
I'm not worried about those top three guys. What I'm
(07:09):
worried about is every single time the Phillies win a game,
their best relievers are probably out there in the end,
and then they play the next day and their best
relievers aren't available. So then who do you go to
at that point? Jose Ruiz has been dreadful so far
this year. Tanner Banks. I cannot believe Tanner Banks has
(07:31):
a three ray. I saw that pop up last night
and I was like, there's absolutely no way that's true
unless you're match Drom, Kirkering or Alvarado. You've been brutal
this year out of the bullpen. That that's That was
point number one for me last night. Point number two
was you go into a ninth inning after eight innings
(07:56):
of lifeless baseball against a team that pulled your pants
down October last year and just embarrassed you after almost
not even making the playoffs last year in the Mets,
and you get to a ninth inning and you start
off with Max Kepler ripping a double, and then JT
(08:16):
brings him in, and then somebody else works a walk. Blah,
blah blah blah blah. You know how this works. And
you obviously get the huge home run from Bryson Stott.
They they burn Edwin Diaz on a night that they
shouldn't have had to burn ed. When Diaz Scott hits
a huge home run five to four. Then your three
hundred million dollars shortstop comes up in a one run
(08:38):
game and he strikes out in four pitches when weren't
even close. And then your three hundred and thirty million
dollar showman comes up and instead of trying to put
the ball in play, had his eyes closed on two
of the three swings because he was trying to hit
(08:59):
the ball seven hundred feet. It's it's hard to turn
something around when the guys that are the best players
in your lineup are consistently trying to play hero ball
all year. Everyone's complaints have been the back half of
(09:22):
the lineup, right, the real mutos not producing the boones,
going through the slumps the early season, Rowjas Marsh right
stop before we got moved to the leadoff spot. You
finally get something out of them last night, and they
give you a huge ninth inning, and and then you
get seven pitches from Edwin Diaz combined to Trey Turner
(09:47):
and Bryce Harper, and they didn't make contact with one
of them, Like, they didn't even foul one off. It
was a ball, it was a called strike, and it
was two swings against Trey and then it was three
swinging against Harper. Like you, you can't expect something to
(10:09):
turn around if the leaders of your team just try
and play hero ball and listen, I get it, it's early.
It's it's April twenty second. I am the nobody on
on X the everything app has has said it's early
more than me because.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
We did have a specific Major League Baseball app. Do
you think we're saying the same thing. Yeah, probably because
chatrooms have always been poisoned. Chatrooms have been poisoned.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
From day Those are worse because because people fire stuff
that they don't want to fire out in public. Yeah,
you should see these phillies groups I've been in all
I've never don the reddit.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Reddit one of the fastest growing things ever outlet, and
it's been around forever as well.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But it's weird.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It has been around forever. You can't expect something to
turn around if the guys that can and you just
stress play for the name on the front, not on
the back. Are playing for the name on the back.
Bryce Harper wasn't playing for the Phillies last night. Bryce
Harper was playing for a home highlight to be on
Twitter for the next three days. That's what he was
(11:15):
playing for. Yeah, it would have been nice. It also
would have been nice for him to make contact with
the ball. That would have been nice too. So it's early.
I get it that we are twenty three games into
one hundred and sixty two game season. And it's funny
because listen, they should go out and they should win
the night, and they should win themorrow night. They have
the they have the advantage on the mound in both games.
(11:38):
But listen, man, if if you're gonna make guys like
Tyler McGill look like Spencer Strider, hey, let's then.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I will be honest about Tyler McGill.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Though last night he had he had it going.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh, he had it rolling. Yeah, and he's had a
good start to the year. But I mean they swung
and missed at that guy like he was Ran Johnson
in his prime. Like it gets to a point where
like have some stones and work account have some stones
and lay down a bun like do something except swing
(12:12):
for the fences every single time and sean brace. If
I see one more infield pop up with runners in position,
I am going to rip my eyeballs out of my head.
Like it is brutal. There is nothing worse. I'd rather
them spike the ground ball into the ground and turn
(12:33):
a double play, then get up there in a two
to zero count.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
And pop a ball up.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's brutal. They're fine. I get it. It's twenty three
games into the season, but like you'd think a team
that got pants last year by a division rival would
go in in their first game back at the stadium
and at least show like a little.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Something to them.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, and that's where I give the give the hat
tip to McGill because he had to go and he had.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Him guess he was shoving last night.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, he really well, he was really nice on that
mound yesterday and it was just a tough one man.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Kyle Fisher checking in, Kyle, I did notice this. Let
me set this up because we're talking grunt talk here.
This is grunt talk. We got a great question here
from Kyle Fisher. He says, Luke, did you notice Nola's
grunting could have been the MIC's, the city field, and
the odd audio, but I don't recall him grunting that
much in a start before. So we're we're in grunt
(13:30):
talk here on April twenty second. What's the deal with
grunt talk? I didn't hear it?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Hashtag expand yeah, Nolan, dude, I think it's I think
it's a little bit of both. It was. Nola's definitely
hasn't been a grunter in the past, but I will fause.
I will say that the mics felt really loud last night.
There was a lot of things on that field that
(13:57):
I feel like you usually don't hear. Every single time
the umpire, like any strike was called. I feel like
it was way louder than it usually is. I think
those those mics were boosted last night. Yeah, but yeah,
definitely a little more grunting from from Nola last night.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Six seven hits, four earned, two walks, six strikeouts, gave
up two home runs, and it all went down Not
all went downhill, but everyone was all worried. Uh from
the immediate Francisco indoor home run UH in the first inning,
where the Mets never trailed from that point on one
(14:34):
to nothing and that first inning and next thing you know, uh,
final score five to four. We talked about the ninth
inning again they battled back, got back into it. But
enough is enough. We're not going to go too crazy
over here on this one. You know, they took two
of three against the Marlins over the weekend. Should have
been three of three. Understood. The bullpen is a little
(14:55):
concerning at this point in time. Oh by the way,
when you're dangling what Jeff Hoffman is doing out there,
that gets some surface level attention for some people out
there that want to pour some gas on this fire.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It's all I get.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Like we've been this book has been written right, like,
we know what people are going to say. No matter what,
the Phillies could be ninety winning, ninety percent clip and
that one loss. It gives those negative nancies an opportunity
to just say something like that. But again, I don't
think this is a perfect baseball team, and there are
questions right now and what plagued them last year in
(15:31):
October in the playoff run still consumes me to my
core at this point in time now, Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Maybe not, Because we're only a few weeks into this season.
But I don't know if what we saw last year
was that much of a fluke. That's all again. When
it comes to playoff time, will this team be the
same team currently constructed?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I assume there'll be a couple new bodies in there.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh man, they're better be I and I was talking
about this with That's some guy the other day at
the stadium, and it's it feels like right now that sorry,
there's an enormous trash truck driving by my house.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I apologize, like Aaron Nola grunting. I didn't hear.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Should have listened, Darter. It feels right now like they
just need a little bit of new blood. And I
don't know if that's from the miners. I don't know.
I'm not going to where you think I'm going.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Stubbs. Stubbs is gonna save the season?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Picture up.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I enjoy the conversation. I think it's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I am not down on the suggestion, but there will
be zero change from a Major League.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Baseball I'll say this, if Garrett Stubbs made that throw
that Rafael or Sean made on Sunday, different stories stick
on the tree, but different story. It just feels like
they need like some sort of like new blood, whether
that's a guy from the miners, whether that's a guy
at the trade deadline, whether that's you know, firing some
(17:18):
buddy and and listen, I don't think you fire anybody
on a twenty second. But if you get to June
first and it's still the same problems at the lineup
and the chasing and just sitting on fastballs and not
(17:38):
knowing what to do with anything else, I think you
have to start looking at Kevin Long in about a
month a month and a half. Not that he's the problem,
because hitting coaches, like hitting a hitting coach isn't the
reason the Phillies lost to the Mets last year in
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
But it's something to get your attention.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But keeping the same guy it just makes people think
that their job's not safe. And if you go out
there and you fire a coach and you go down
and maybe in a month and a half if Marsh
comes back and he still looks really bad, If you
fire a hitting coach and you send Marsh down a
triple a like, it just people on notice and it
(18:24):
kind of gives everyone a little jolt, be like, hey,
like we're not safe. And yes, Bryce Harper, Trey Turner,
those guys are safe. But the guys that you want
to start getting more contributions out of, the guys like
Rojas and Boom and mar Shan and these bullpen guys
(18:45):
like Jose Ruiz might not be on this team in
two months, Carlos Hernandez might not be on this team
in two months because the Phillies are trying to win
a World Series. And if if you're sitting here and
your rotation is giving you what they're giving you right now,
and yes, obviously last night was frustrating, but the top
(19:06):
of this lineup is continuing to give you what they've
given you over the last month.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You gotta do something.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And what worries me and I pray to God that
he doesn't make the same mistake again because Dave Dombrowski's
deadline since he's gotten here have been extremely underwhelming. Every
single year, it was Tanner, Banks and Estevez. Last year,
the biggest guy he's ever acquired at the trade deadline
(19:34):
has been at Mundo Sosa. And that's not saying in
Mundo is a bad baseball player, but that's saying the
best player that he's ever acquired at the trade deadline
in five years of running this team has been a
guy that doesn't start. That's like slightly concerning that he
kind of just sits on his hands at the deadline.
(19:55):
And I think it's going to get to a point
and it's not saying this season is cooked and they
need to go trade everybody right now. But if you
get to July first and the same problems are there,
and your center field positions hitting two twenty and your
third baseman's hitting two ten, like go trade for a guy,
(20:18):
Like go shake something up, because like once again, and
I mean we've said it last year, We've said it
the year before, you say it every year. This team
isn't getting younger. Bryce Harper's not getting younger, Zach Zach
Wheeler is not getting under You can't keep wasting these
years you're getting from Zach Wheeler. You can't waste these
young years of Sanchez and Suarez, and like you can't
(20:41):
waste these early thirties years of Bryce and Trey and Schwarber.
Like it gets to a point where you have to
do something. Once again, it is April twenty second. We
are a month and not even a month into the season.
But it's I hope it doesn't get to the point
where that needs to happen, because it just it just
feels like to me, right now, they need they just
(21:05):
need a jolt, whether that's optioning somebody, firing a coach,
not a manager, they don't need that right now, but
firing some sort of coach, some sort of demotion or
a promotion. It just feels like they're getting to a
point where they need like some sort of jolt in
the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, well, like you said, it's a long season, so
one sixty two. You know what happens when they do
bring up new blood and it gets the body, it
gets some juices going to that clubhouse.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
We've seen that happen before.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It could be the return of a guy like Ranger Suarez, right,
Ranger is a fan favorite. It could be something as
easy as as that is. But I don't know if
that's going to be the case. I'm curious to know
your thoughts on Ranger Suarez. When do we expect him back,
what's going to be his role, what happens when Ranger
Suarez returns, As Kyle Fisher's asking.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Too, Yeah, so he uh Rangers set to make two
more starts. He's starts tonight in Lehigh Valley. He's gonna
throw around sixty five to seventy five pitches and then
he's gonna have one more and they're gonna try and
get him up the ninety and then he should be up.
Should be within the first week of May, so I
(22:14):
would say about I would say a week and a
half to two weeks, you should see Ranger. They are
not going to do this, I don't think, because I
think they know who Ranger is and and they obviously
really like Ranger, and they know he's in a contract year,
(22:35):
and they know who his agent is in Scott Boris.
I'm of the belief right now that they need to
try Ranger in the bullpen when he comes back. I
think the bullpen needs an arm. I will granted, I
think the bullpen needs three arms, but I think the
bullpen needs an arm. I think they need a guy
(22:55):
in there that has been on this team for a
while and has the respect of of everybody else on
the team. And I'm not saying the other guys don't,
but I think right now the Phillies' best plan is
to run Taiwan Walker into the ground in the starting
rotation and see how long he can continue to pitch
(23:15):
like this, And if you can get two more good
months out of Walker, then leave him there, put Ranger
in the bullpen and try it. Because the reason is
Taiwan's stuff doesn't work out of the bullpen. He's just
not not a bullpen guy. He's not a guy that
(23:36):
you can bring in in a one run game in
the eighth inning with the best hitter in baseball at
the play and a guy on second and you need
an out. I don't want Taiwan Walker coming into that situation.
I would not mind at all if Ranger Suarez came
into that situation. I just think it would work better
(23:56):
because right now, I don't know. I don't know what
they do with Taiwan once Ranger comes back. The bullpen
doesn't need a long man right now. They need a
guy that can pitch a high leverage situation seventh, eighth,
ninth inning. That's not Taiwan Walker, but that can be
(24:17):
Ranger Suarez. Like we've seen him in the playoffs. The
twenty twenty two playoffs did everything. He was the closer.
He started some games in the Playoffs, he came in
in the fifth inning of games, he closed out the
NLCS to go to the World Series. Like the guy's
done every single pitching role on this team. So it
just it feels like that is if it was up
(24:38):
to me. Ranger comes back, he goes to the bullpen,
and we see how much we can get out of
Taiwan Walker, and you pray to God that you can
get good Walker until Andrew Paynter's ready. That is your
deal situation, because it's just I don't know what Taiwan
Walker's role is. Once Ranger comes back. They're not going
(24:59):
to go to a six man rotation this early. They
don't want to take starts away from Zach Wheeler and Sanchez.
There this the dumbest thing for this team would be
to go to a six man rotation. Oh, because that
means you're because that means you're taking starts away from
Zach Wheeler and you're taking stat starts away from Sanchez
and Hayes Lucizzarno, right they right now? Me personally, I
(25:23):
I genuinely think the best thing they can do is
bring Ranger back, throw him in the bullpen, hope you
get two and a half good months of Walker and
once Andrew Painter's ready, then I don't know what you
do with Walker there. But that's not my problem because
I know right now he's not going anywhere once Ranger
comes back. But the Phillies don't need a long man.
(25:44):
They need a guy that can get outs in the seventh,
eighth and ninth in.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, and like, I don't know if Ranger's too good
not to be used right, like he's got to be.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He's going back to the rotation.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I know he is.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And I said that, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
just said you don't think he should. If again, wait
a minute, in a perfect world, though, I'll give you
the keys to the castle. Here, you're Rob Thompson ideally,
as you just spelled it out, break it down for me, though,
Where is Ranger getting used again?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I mean, he's he's going to probably go back.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
If you were Rob Thompson and you want to put
him in the bullpen, how are you using him? How
are you putting Ranger Suarez out there that A he's effective.
In B he's getting used as much as he should
because you know that once in every five games he
would be getting the start. So where is he finding
his spot in that rotation? Ideally, where would you have him?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Where would you or no? In the in the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
In a perfect world, Ranger Suarez goes into the game
yesterday and not Jose Ruiz. They bring Ranger into the seventh.
They come off a day where Strom's not available, Alvarado
is not available, and Kirk Ring is not available. Right
your next best reliever right now is Jose Ruiz, who
has like a seven era like that is the reliever
(27:14):
that they feel the most confident and still right now
after our top three guys in a perfect world, Ranger.
That is Ranger Suarez the spot yesterday, And yeah's this
bullpen needs a dominant right handed reliever. But it's we
hit the point where you can't be picky about this
team's relievers anymore. You just need a guy that can
(27:36):
throw strikes and get people out. And I trust Ranger
to do that out of the bullpen more than I
trust like Taiwan. Because that's the thing. If you move
Taiwan to the bullpen once Ranger comes back, he's not
a high leverage guy. So like, none of your problems,
none of your problems in the bullpen right now, are
(27:57):
being solved if you move Taiwan Walk there because yesterday,
if Ruiz gets through that inning, are you bringing Taiwan
Walker into the seventh inning of a game in city field? Like,
if that game's tied yesterday and and Strom Kirkering Alvarado
aren't available, would you rather have Ranger Suarez in the
(28:18):
eighth inning or Taiwan Walker? Like, it's not even in debate.
The unfortunate part is it's just not going to happen,
Like Rangers gonna come back. He's going to go to
the rotation, and they're gonna have a long another long
man that can't pitch a high leverage situation.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, and you don't want to be piecemeal a bullpen.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
The same relievers. Once Taiwan goes to the bullpen, they're
gonna have three of the same relievers. Joe Ross, Jose Ruiz,
Taiwan Walker will all be the same person in the bullpen.
They all do the same thing. They don't have any velocity,
They throw somewhat of strikes and they get rocked on
a daily basis.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Kyle checking in with some numbers here.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Awker four point five to six ERA across eight career
appearance as a reliever. Suarez two point nine to one
sixty eight appearances as a reliever, and in last time
he made a regular season a periods out of the
bullpen was twenty twenty one, one point one two Era's
reliever in twenty seven games, finished the games thirteen times. Yeah,
it makes sense, and look, they're a desperate squad to
(29:23):
a point at that position, they're a desperate squad right
now trying to figure.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Out who's who and what role is what in the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Not what you want to be singing in April, but
it's just the fact there have been plenty of times
that the Phillies have had the bullpen figured out and
it didn't work out in the long run. So you know,
it's sometimes damn if you do, damn if you don't.
But we would like things to be a little bit
more concrete base in the bullpen and what they have
been so far, albeit in the short part of the
(29:53):
early season.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Here, all right, daily ticket rolling on.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
We do have a game going off tonight, Christopher Sanchez
here to save the day.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Luke Rcanny twelve strikeouts.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Last time, I'll be honest with you, I have no
idea who Griffin Canning is, But this is the Mets.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
They got that vibe. There's one thing I will say
about the Mets right now. And I don't know if
this carries on through the summer. I don't know if
he'll be there in September, but this team has that
vibe that they had last year. And again, I don't
know what that means in the grand scheme of things
as far as a World Series run. They were pretty
damn good last year though, when it counted. And this
is what they have right now. Francisco Lindor is a
(30:35):
damn Hall of Famer. I can't believe his numbers. Oh dude,
he's getting I mean already, he's the Hall of Fame.
He's got a Hall of Fame track, all right, Yeah yeah, yeah,
like not not in right now, but damn is he
a good player.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
The Mets have. Mets have it rolling right now and
and and it's.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
A lot to do with the dumb vibes that come
with fan base.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I like, they're selling out in April. That place is a.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It's the biggest stadium I've ever been in from a
baseball standpoint. Oh my god, that place is huge. It
swallows citizens, Bank Park. That's how big that stadium was.
I haven't been there in a decade, but I remember
walking around that ballpark going, I can't believe how big
this place is.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
And they've been there and they sold.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
It out, and they got everyone believing that the vibes
are high with the Mets, and they deserve a lot
of credit right now, because I thought for sure that
that starting rotation was going to be their achilles heel and.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
It would never get out of their way.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
And it still might come true, still may be true
down the road here, but in the early part of
the season, they look pretty good as far as the
starters are concerned.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Can it stop tonight? Though? With Griffin Canning, Griffin freak
cann it.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Should like it should. And this is what's gonna get
me riled up is that it's it's Christopher Sanchez going
up against Griffin. I give you five dollars. I'll give
you five dollars if you haven't looked already. Who did
Griffin Canning play for for the last five years before
the Mets? Yeah, no, clue there there we exactly do
you want to know his career?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
He alright, Sean, I'm pulling it up now, So so.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Who do you play a right?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
So he played for the Angels, the Angel twenty nineteen
to twenty twenty four. He's got a career four seven
three e R with a one three three whip. He's
not good. He's just not good. Well if it probably
make him look like it all started, probably, yeah, probably,
But no, this is a game they should win. Like,
this is flat out a game they go in, they
(32:40):
take care of business, and they win because they're a
good team. And then tomorrow you go in series split
and you send Zach Wheeler to the mound to win it.
Like these next two games should be win win. It's
it's that simple, Like they should be wins. But right now,
who knows.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It is an interesting spot for the Phillies tonight, once
again on the road, Game two, take it on the Mets.
It'd be nice to get a victory draft Kings sportsbook
where we're getting numbers from this afternoon Santa's and minus
one thirty five favorite plus one fourteen for Gryffith Canning.
You know, most of the time I could like remember
coming across the player because of the the the gambling aspect, like, oh,
(33:24):
that's a starting pitching for that team that I'm going
to bet against Griffith Canning.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Just the light's not going off. The light bulb is
not going off.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
He started essentially twenty eighteen games a season for the
last five years. He started thirty two last year for
the Angels, so I want to give him credit there.
Twenty fourty year before fourteen eleven eighteen starts again four
point or era as you said, four point seven to
three er. Last year he was five point one to
nine and again the Angel season was essentially over two
(33:51):
months into the season every year, but still normally come
across these pitchers and be like, yeah, I remember that guy.
No clue, So Cannington Knight Santa's on the mound of
the Phils last time out for Christopher Sanchez twelve strikeouts.
As far as the expectations tonight here for Sanchez, what'll
be looking at from his number of pitching props right
now seven plus at plus one forty as far as
(34:12):
strikeouts are concerned, do we go back? Look, the Phillies
are struggling putting the ball in play minus one ten
at five plus for Canning. The odds makers are looking
at this Phills lineup kind of like toast. If he's
at five plus and Sanchez at seven plus, that is
very intriguing to me.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yeah, it is. And I will say the Mets haven't
hit Sanchez particularly well. The guys on their roster have
an ops under six fifty career combined against Sanchez, they're
hitting just two twenty. The only guy that stands out
doors four for twelve in his career, Starling Marte is
four for thirteen, Brandon Emos five for sixteen. Juan Soto
(34:51):
struggled against him. Pete Alonzo as a homer, but he
hasn't hit him that great. It should favor the Phillies tonight.
I will say I tend to stay away from Sanchez
strikeouts on the road. He just seems to not strike
out a ton of guys on the road. That she's
(35:11):
always kind of been the tendency with him. I'd have
to pull it up. I would look more tonight towards
outs recorded that it's got to be a paper props somewhere.
Let's see down here, Outs recorded seventeen and a half. Yeah,
I guess it's minus one forty, so there's not a
ton of juice there. But maybe if you wanted to
(35:33):
look into an outs recorded seventeen and a half with
like a four plus all maybe to get you to
plus money. I would like his outs recorded line a
lot more than his strikeouts. He just hasn't struck a
ton of guys out on the road. Citizens Bank Park
has been where he strikes a ton of guys out.
That that's kind of always how he's been. But at
(35:56):
the same time, he's pitched well against the Mets. He
battled last year in the playoffs in Game two against them.
So yeah, I mean it should favor Sanchez in the
Phillies tonight.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
All right, Major League Baseball, we did have a good
one last night with the Yankees and a full slate
of games this evening slash afternoon here.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Here's the pitch trying in a mist like three Snyder
in the dirt to rings tax Harper put it in
the books.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The Mets hold on.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It got frightening in the ninth inning, but they hold
on to take the opener of this three game series
from the Phillies and have won their fifth consecutive ball game.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You know, it's not how Phillies fans drew it up
by no means yesterday. But I will tell you this,
I don't remember April baseball hitting the way it has
in a long damn time, whether it's against the Braves
in a big series, whether we're looking at the Yankees
(01:23):
and what they were doing and two weeks ago, I
forget their opponent, shame on me, but it had a
big time vibe to it. Oh, it was the it
was the Arizona Diamondbacks where the whole Yankee Stadium was
on their feet. And then the one Diamondbacks hitter goes
yard for a Grand Slam, just playoff vibes. And then
(01:44):
for the Phillies last night, take it on the Mets.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Five to four finals score not what Phillies fans want
to see. But folks, relax, calm down, take a deep breath.
This season, this season's got a long people. Phillies fans
are just over blowing at this point in time. And
I get it, it's what we do. But it's tough
to be a fan on the timeline these days. It
(02:09):
really is. There's just way too much. Uh, the sky
is falling. And we do this every year. It's nothing new,
but shame on the people. Do you know what it is?
You know what is new, Luke, is that there are
new people that you do follow over the last six
to eight months that it was not baseball season. It's
the people that continue to grow their own platforms. So
(02:31):
they need to put something out so you can look
at them. People that know better than to complain about
a Monday night loss game thirty. Are they even thirty
eight games into the season. Yeah, but they're I think
they played for thirty eight eight's what's the rector like,
I think they're thirty ten.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, I they got their poison at me. They're poison
in me right now.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I mean we're halfway through the first quarter of a
football game right now.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, fourteen and nine. The Yankees are shame on me,
my fault.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't know where I got that number from.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Regardless, even worse, And that's the issue. The timeline is
filled with people that look at me, look at me,
And it's a lot to do with the sports radio syndrome.
It's a lot to do with the podcasters that I mean,
could we put a tariff on podcasting gear? Could we
stop selling that stuff for the next year? How about that? Anyways?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Microphones and body mics, we need to stop selling those
those little handhelds people to the stadium. Correct that that
should be what's tariff next?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, welcome to the party here, it's the Daily Ticket
on a Tuesday, my first day back. I can't thank
the folks over at Playfly Sports and Villanova Athletics for
throwing a great golf outing yesterday. At white man Or
Country Club. My first time swinging it. And I'll tell
you what my body feels like that oo feels like
it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I actually ended up hitting them a little after work yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, you know, so I'm rocking the swing and thing
of shirt. I hit them up.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I had some fun out there with our group. We
shot three under. Nothing too special, but it was you
had fun though.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I had a blast. It was windy it Oh yeah, dude,
I was.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Really with the wind. The wind might just own us,
like this might never end. Yeah, every I feel like
I feel like every day has been like twenty twenty
five million hour winds.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, it was really sing man.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I feel like I've played like four or five rounds
of golf over the last few weeks, and every time
I feel like at home hitting right into the wind,
it's brutal.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I was.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I was hitting one hundred and fifty five yards in
on like a I swear it was like one twenty
eight and it didn't go anywhere. I was like, all right,
there's just not much you can do. I'm not that
good of a golfer the way it is, and now
you're putting this and oh, by the way, it was
the first time on the course since since November or
October the last time I played, So yeah, it was
(04:57):
but it was fun. Had a blast out there. Can't
thank the folks over at play fly Sports and of
course Villanova Athletics teaming up. Great job across the board.
Head coach Mark Ferrante from Villanova football is out there.
Met a lot of great sponsors that we often hear
on the Villanova hoops and Villanova football broadcasts right here
on Fox Sports Radio Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So again, just some awesome fun yesterday All.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Right, nin I got home watched some great NBA playoff basketball.
But we're gonna open up with the Phills and the Mets.
Your takeaway from last night. Again, we're not saying that
the sky is following the world's coming to ten all
of a sudden, this team is going to lose. But
you know, if you could go ahead and fix example
A for this Philly squad, what are we looking at
(05:40):
first right now? Is this a straight up bullpen issue
for you, Luke?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, Yeah, it's just it's just been abysmal. They're they're
killing like they're killing any sort of momentum. The Phillies
are trying to gain right now. I mean, obviously, last night,
Aaron Nola go out, lets up the solo home run
to Lindor, let's up a solo home run to Winker,
(06:04):
and then I thought he settled in after that. I
actually I thought that was some of the best stuff
I've seen from Nola so far this year, which for
me was a good sign. I know that people only
box score hunt and seventy five percent Timeline will tell
me and say, well, Aaron Nola allowed four more runs again,
(06:25):
and he stinks. But I know about eighty percent of
them probably didn't watch the game. They're just sort of
box score hunting, which, hey, you do you but yeah,
it's it's it's just a weird sort of vibe around
them right now. It's you're getting a lot out of
your starters and then you turn it over to a
(06:47):
bullpen who. I'm not necessarily worried about top guys. I'm
not worried about Josey Alvarado. I'm not worried about Matt Strom,
even though his v low's down. I'm not worried about Kirk.
I mean, before Sunday's game, like thirty four of his
last thirty eight outings at home were scoreless. I'm I'm
I'm not worried about those top three guys. What I'm
(07:09):
worried about is every single time the Phillies win a game,
their best relievers are probably out there in the end,
and then they play the next day and their best
relievers aren't available. So then who do you go to
at that point? Jose Ruiz has been dreadful so far
this year. Tanner Banks. I cannot believe Tanner Banks has
(07:31):
a three ray. I saw that pop up last night
and I was like, there's absolutely no way that's true
unless you're match Drom, Kirkering or Alvarado. You've been brutal
this year out of the bullpen. That that's That was
point number one for me last night. Point number two
was you go into a ninth inning after eight innings
(07:56):
of lifeless baseball against a team that pulled your pants
down October last year and just embarrassed you after almost
not even making the playoffs last year in the Mets,
and you get to a ninth inning and you start
off with Max Kepler ripping a double, and then JT
(08:16):
brings him in, and then somebody else works a walk. Blah,
blah blah blah blah. You know how this works. And
you obviously get the huge home run from Bryson Stott.
They they burn Edwin Diaz on a night that they
shouldn't have had to burn ed. When Diaz Scott hits
a huge home run five to four. Then your three
hundred million dollars shortstop comes up in a one run
(08:38):
game and he strikes out in four pitches when weren't
even close. And then your three hundred and thirty million
dollar showman comes up and instead of trying to put
the ball in play, had his eyes closed on two
of the three swings because he was trying to hit
(08:59):
the ball seven hundred feet. It's it's hard to turn
something around when the guys that are the best players
in your lineup are consistently trying to play hero ball
all year. Everyone's complaints have been the back half of
(09:22):
the lineup, right, the real mutos not producing the boones,
going through the slumps the early season, Rowjas Marsh right
stop before we got moved to the leadoff spot. You
finally get something out of them last night, and they
give you a huge ninth inning, and and then you
get seven pitches from Edwin Diaz combined to Trey Turner
(09:47):
and Bryce Harper, and they didn't make contact with one
of them, Like, they didn't even foul one off. It
was a ball, it was a called strike, and it
was two swings against Trey and then it was three
swinging against Harper. Like you, you can't expect something to
(10:09):
turn around if the leaders of your team just try
and play hero ball and listen, I get it, it's early.
It's it's April twenty second. I am the nobody on
on X the everything app has has said it's early
more than me because.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
We did have a specific Major League Baseball app. Do
you think we're saying the same thing. Yeah, probably because
chatrooms have always been poisoned. Chatrooms have been poisoned.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
From day Those are worse because because people fire stuff
that they don't want to fire out in public. Yeah,
you should see these phillies groups I've been in all
I've never don the reddit.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Reddit one of the fastest growing things ever outlet, and
it's been around forever as well.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But it's weird.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It has been around forever. You can't expect something to
turn around if the guys that can and you just
stress play for the name on the front, not on
the back. Are playing for the name on the back.
Bryce Harper wasn't playing for the Phillies last night. Bryce
Harper was playing for a home highlight to be on
Twitter for the next three days. That's what he was
(11:15):
playing for. Yeah, it would have been nice. It also
would have been nice for him to make contact with
the ball. That would have been nice too. So it's early.
I get it that we are twenty three games into
one hundred and sixty two game season. And it's funny
because listen, they should go out and they should win
the night, and they should win themorrow night. They have
the they have the advantage on the mound in both games.
(11:38):
But listen, man, if if you're gonna make guys like
Tyler McGill look like Spencer Strider, hey, let's then.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I will be honest about Tyler McGill.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Though last night he had he had it going.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh, he had it rolling. Yeah, and he's had a
good start to the year. But I mean they swung
and missed at that guy like he was Ran Johnson
in his prime. Like it gets to a point where
like have some stones and work account have some stones
and lay down a bun like do something except swing
(12:12):
for the fences every single time and sean brace. If
I see one more infield pop up with runners in position,
I am going to rip my eyeballs out of my head.
Like it is brutal. There is nothing worse. I'd rather
them spike the ground ball into the ground and turn
(12:33):
a double play, then get up there in a two
to zero count.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
And pop a ball up.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's brutal. They're fine. I get it. It's twenty three
games into the season, but like you'd think a team
that got pants last year by a division rival would
go in in their first game back at the stadium
and at least show like a little.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Something to them.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, and that's where I give the give the hat
tip to McGill because he had to go and he had.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Him guess he was shoving last night.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, he really well, he was really nice on that
mound yesterday and it was just a tough one man.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Kyle Fisher checking in, Kyle, I did notice this. Let
me set this up because we're talking grunt talk here.
This is grunt talk. We got a great question here
from Kyle Fisher. He says, Luke, did you notice Nola's
grunting could have been the MIC's, the city field, and
the odd audio, but I don't recall him grunting that
much in a start before. So we're we're in grunt
(13:30):
talk here on April twenty second. What's the deal with
grunt talk? I didn't hear it?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Hashtag expand yeah, Nolan, dude, I think it's I think
it's a little bit of both. It was. Nola's definitely
hasn't been a grunter in the past, but I will fause.
I will say that the mics felt really loud last night.
There was a lot of things on that field that
(13:57):
I feel like you usually don't hear. Every single time
the umpire, like any strike was called. I feel like
it was way louder than it usually is. I think
those those mics were boosted last night. Yeah, but yeah,
definitely a little more grunting from from Nola last night.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Six seven hits, four earned, two walks, six strikeouts, gave
up two home runs, and it all went down Not
all went downhill, but everyone was all worried. Uh from
the immediate Francisco indoor home run UH in the first inning,
where the Mets never trailed from that point on one
(14:34):
to nothing and that first inning and next thing you know, uh,
final score five to four. We talked about the ninth
inning again they battled back, got back into it. But
enough is enough. We're not going to go too crazy
over here on this one. You know, they took two
of three against the Marlins over the weekend. Should have
been three of three. Understood. The bullpen is a little
(14:55):
concerning at this point in time. Oh by the way,
when you're dangling what Jeff Hoffman is doing out there,
that gets some surface level attention for some people out
there that want to pour some gas on this fire.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It's all I get.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Like we've been this book has been written right, like,
we know what people are going to say. No matter what,
the Phillies could be ninety winning, ninety percent clip and
that one loss. It gives those negative nancies an opportunity
to just say something like that. But again, I don't
think this is a perfect baseball team, and there are
questions right now and what plagued them last year in
(15:31):
October in the playoff run still consumes me to my
core at this point in time now, Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Maybe not, Because we're only a few weeks into this season.
But I don't know if what we saw last year
was that much of a fluke. That's all again. When
it comes to playoff time, will this team be the
same team currently constructed?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I assume there'll be a couple new bodies in there.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh man, they're better be I and I was talking
about this with That's some guy the other day at
the stadium, and it's it feels like right now that sorry,
there's an enormous trash truck driving by my house.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I apologize, like Aaron Nola grunting. I didn't hear.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Should have listened, Darter. It feels right now like they
just need a little bit of new blood. And I
don't know if that's from the miners. I don't know.
I'm not going to where you think I'm going.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Stubbs. Stubbs is gonna save the season?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Picture up.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I enjoy the conversation. I think it's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I am not down on the suggestion, but there will
be zero change from a Major League.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Baseball I'll say this, if Garrett Stubbs made that throw
that Rafael or Sean made on Sunday, different stories stick
on the tree, but different story. It just feels like
they need like some sort of like new blood, whether
that's a guy from the miners, whether that's a guy
at the trade deadline, whether that's you know, firing some
(17:18):
buddy and and listen, I don't think you fire anybody
on a twenty second. But if you get to June
first and it's still the same problems at the lineup
and the chasing and just sitting on fastballs and not
(17:38):
knowing what to do with anything else, I think you
have to start looking at Kevin Long in about a
month a month and a half. Not that he's the problem,
because hitting coaches, like hitting a hitting coach isn't the
reason the Phillies lost to the Mets last year in
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
But it's something to get your attention.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But keeping the same guy it just makes people think
that their job's not safe. And if you go out
there and you fire a coach and you go down
and maybe in a month and a half if Marsh
comes back and he still looks really bad, If you
fire a hitting coach and you send Marsh down a
triple a like, it just people on notice and it
(18:24):
kind of gives everyone a little jolt, be like, hey,
like we're not safe. And yes, Bryce Harper, Trey Turner,
those guys are safe. But the guys that you want
to start getting more contributions out of, the guys like
Rojas and Boom and mar Shan and these bullpen guys
(18:45):
like Jose Ruiz might not be on this team in
two months, Carlos Hernandez might not be on this team
in two months because the Phillies are trying to win
a World Series. And if if you're sitting here and
your rotation is giving you what they're giving you right now,
and yes, obviously last night was frustrating, but the top
(19:06):
of this lineup is continuing to give you what they've
given you over the last month.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You gotta do something.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And what worries me and I pray to God that
he doesn't make the same mistake again because Dave Dombrowski's
deadline since he's gotten here have been extremely underwhelming. Every
single year, it was Tanner, Banks and Estevez. Last year,
the biggest guy he's ever acquired at the trade deadline
(19:34):
has been at Mundo Sosa. And that's not saying in
Mundo is a bad baseball player, but that's saying the
best player that he's ever acquired at the trade deadline
in five years of running this team has been a
guy that doesn't start. That's like slightly concerning that he
kind of just sits on his hands at the deadline.
(19:55):
And I think it's going to get to a point
and it's not saying this season is cooked and they
need to go trade everybody right now. But if you
get to July first and the same problems are there,
and your center field positions hitting two twenty and your
third baseman's hitting two ten, like go trade for a guy,
(20:18):
Like go shake something up, because like once again, and
I mean we've said it last year, We've said it
the year before, you say it every year. This team
isn't getting younger. Bryce Harper's not getting younger, Zach Zach
Wheeler is not getting under You can't keep wasting these
years you're getting from Zach Wheeler. You can't waste these
young years of Sanchez and Suarez, and like you can't
(20:41):
waste these early thirties years of Bryce and Trey and Schwarber.
Like it gets to a point where you have to
do something. Once again, it is April twenty second. We
are a month and not even a month into the season.
But it's I hope it doesn't get to the point
where that needs to happen, because it just it just
feels like to me, right now, they need they just
(21:05):
need a jolt, whether that's optioning somebody, firing a coach,
not a manager, they don't need that right now, but
firing some sort of coach, some sort of demotion or
a promotion. It just feels like they're getting to a
point where they need like some sort of jolt in
the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, well, like you said, it's a long season, so
one sixty two. You know what happens when they do
bring up new blood and it gets the body, it
gets some juices going to that clubhouse.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
We've seen that happen before.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It could be the return of a guy like Ranger Suarez, right,
Ranger is a fan favorite. It could be something as
easy as as that is. But I don't know if
that's going to be the case. I'm curious to know
your thoughts on Ranger Suarez. When do we expect him back,
what's going to be his role, what happens when Ranger
Suarez returns, As Kyle Fisher's asking.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Too, Yeah, so he uh Rangers set to make two
more starts. He's starts tonight in Lehigh Valley. He's gonna
throw around sixty five to seventy five pitches and then
he's gonna have one more and they're gonna try and
get him up the ninety and then he should be up.
Should be within the first week of May, so I
(22:14):
would say about I would say a week and a
half to two weeks, you should see Ranger. They are
not going to do this, I don't think, because I
think they know who Ranger is and and they obviously
really like Ranger, and they know he's in a contract year,
(22:35):
and they know who his agent is in Scott Boris.
I'm of the belief right now that they need to
try Ranger in the bullpen when he comes back. I
think the bullpen needs an arm. I will granted, I
think the bullpen needs three arms, but I think the
bullpen needs an arm. I think they need a guy
(22:55):
in there that has been on this team for a
while and has the respect of of everybody else on
the team. And I'm not saying the other guys don't,
but I think right now the Phillies' best plan is
to run Taiwan Walker into the ground in the starting
rotation and see how long he can continue to pitch
(23:15):
like this, And if you can get two more good
months out of Walker, then leave him there, put Ranger
in the bullpen and try it. Because the reason is
Taiwan's stuff doesn't work out of the bullpen. He's just
not not a bullpen guy. He's not a guy that
(23:36):
you can bring in in a one run game in
the eighth inning with the best hitter in baseball at
the play and a guy on second and you need
an out. I don't want Taiwan Walker coming into that situation.
I would not mind at all if Ranger Suarez came
into that situation. I just think it would work better
(23:56):
because right now, I don't know. I don't know what
they do with Taiwan once Ranger comes back. The bullpen
doesn't need a long man right now. They need a
guy that can pitch a high leverage situation seventh, eighth,
ninth inning. That's not Taiwan Walker, but that can be
(24:17):
Ranger Suarez. Like we've seen him in the playoffs. The
twenty twenty two playoffs did everything. He was the closer.
He started some games in the Playoffs, he came in
in the fifth inning of games, he closed out the
NLCS to go to the World Series. Like the guy's
done every single pitching role on this team. So it
just it feels like that is if it was up
(24:38):
to me. Ranger comes back, he goes to the bullpen,
and we see how much we can get out of
Taiwan Walker, and you pray to God that you can
get good Walker until Andrew Paynter's ready. That is your
deal situation, because it's just I don't know what Taiwan
Walker's role is. Once Ranger comes back. They're not going
(24:59):
to go to a six man rotation this early. They
don't want to take starts away from Zach Wheeler and Sanchez.
There this the dumbest thing for this team would be
to go to a six man rotation. Oh, because that
means you're because that means you're taking starts away from
Zach Wheeler and you're taking stat starts away from Sanchez
and Hayes Lucizzarno, right they right now? Me personally, I
(25:23):
I genuinely think the best thing they can do is
bring Ranger back, throw him in the bullpen, hope you
get two and a half good months of Walker and
once Andrew Painter's ready, then I don't know what you
do with Walker there. But that's not my problem because
I know right now he's not going anywhere once Ranger
comes back. But the Phillies don't need a long man.
(25:44):
They need a guy that can get outs in the seventh,
eighth and ninth in.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, and like, I don't know if Ranger's too good
not to be used right, like he's got to be.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He's going back to the rotation.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I know he is.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And I said that, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
just said you don't think he should. If again, wait
a minute, in a perfect world, though, I'll give you
the keys to the castle. Here, you're Rob Thompson ideally,
as you just spelled it out, break it down for me, though,
Where is Ranger getting used again?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I mean, he's he's going to probably go back.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
If you were Rob Thompson and you want to put
him in the bullpen, how are you using him? How
are you putting Ranger Suarez out there that A he's effective.
In B he's getting used as much as he should
because you know that once in every five games he
would be getting the start. So where is he finding
his spot in that rotation? Ideally, where would you have him?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Where would you or no? In the in the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
In a perfect world, Ranger Suarez goes into the game
yesterday and not Jose Ruiz. They bring Ranger into the seventh.
They come off a day where Strom's not available, Alvarado
is not available, and Kirk Ring is not available. Right
your next best reliever right now is Jose Ruiz, who
has like a seven era like that is the reliever
(27:14):
that they feel the most confident and still right now
after our top three guys in a perfect world, Ranger.
That is Ranger Suarez the spot yesterday, And yeah's this
bullpen needs a dominant right handed reliever. But it's we
hit the point where you can't be picky about this
team's relievers anymore. You just need a guy that can
(27:36):
throw strikes and get people out. And I trust Ranger
to do that out of the bullpen more than I
trust like Taiwan. Because that's the thing. If you move
Taiwan to the bullpen once Ranger comes back, he's not
a high leverage guy. So like, none of your problems,
none of your problems in the bullpen right now, are
(27:57):
being solved if you move Taiwan Walk there because yesterday,
if Ruiz gets through that inning, are you bringing Taiwan
Walker into the seventh inning of a game in city field? Like,
if that game's tied yesterday and and Strom Kirkering Alvarado
aren't available, would you rather have Ranger Suarez in the
(28:18):
eighth inning or Taiwan Walker? Like, it's not even in debate.
The unfortunate part is it's just not going to happen,
Like Rangers gonna come back. He's going to go to
the rotation, and they're gonna have a long another long
man that can't pitch a high leverage situation.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, and you don't want to be piecemeal a bullpen.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
The same relievers. Once Taiwan goes to the bullpen, they're
gonna have three of the same relievers. Joe Ross, Jose Ruiz,
Taiwan Walker will all be the same person in the bullpen.
They all do the same thing. They don't have any velocity,
They throw somewhat of strikes and they get rocked on
a daily basis.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Kyle checking in with some numbers here.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Awker four point five to six ERA across eight career
appearance as a reliever. Suarez two point nine to one
sixty eight appearances as a reliever, and in last time
he made a regular season a periods out of the
bullpen was twenty twenty one, one point one two Era's
reliever in twenty seven games, finished the games thirteen times. Yeah,
it makes sense, and look, they're a desperate squad to
(29:23):
a point at that position, they're a desperate squad right
now trying to figure.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Out who's who and what role is what in the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Not what you want to be singing in April, but
it's just the fact there have been plenty of times
that the Phillies have had the bullpen figured out and
it didn't work out in the long run. So you know,
it's sometimes damn if you do, damn if you don't.
But we would like things to be a little bit
more concrete base in the bullpen and what they have
been so far, albeit in the short part of the
(29:53):
early season.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Here, all right, daily ticket rolling on.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
We do have a game going off tonight, Christopher Sanchez
here to save the day.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Luke Rcanny twelve strikeouts.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Last time, I'll be honest with you, I have no
idea who Griffin Canning is, But this is the Mets.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
They got that vibe. There's one thing I will say
about the Mets right now. And I don't know if
this carries on through the summer. I don't know if
he'll be there in September, but this team has that
vibe that they had last year. And again, I don't
know what that means in the grand scheme of things
as far as a World Series run. They were pretty
damn good last year though, when it counted. And this
is what they have right now. Francisco Lindor is a
(30:35):
damn Hall of Famer. I can't believe his numbers. Oh dude,
he's getting I mean already, he's the Hall of Fame.
He's got a Hall of Fame track, all right, Yeah yeah, yeah,
like not not in right now, but damn is he
a good player.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
The Mets have. Mets have it rolling right now and
and and it's.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
A lot to do with the dumb vibes that come
with fan base.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I like, they're selling out in April. That place is a.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It's the biggest stadium I've ever been in from a
baseball standpoint. Oh my god, that place is huge. It
swallows citizens, Bank Park. That's how big that stadium was.
I haven't been there in a decade, but I remember
walking around that ballpark going, I can't believe how big
this place is.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
And they've been there and they sold.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
It out, and they got everyone believing that the vibes
are high with the Mets, and they deserve a lot
of credit right now, because I thought for sure that
that starting rotation was going to be their achilles heel and.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
It would never get out of their way.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
And it still might come true, still may be true
down the road here, but in the early part of
the season, they look pretty good as far as the
starters are concerned.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Can it stop tonight? Though? With Griffin Canning, Griffin freak
cann it.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Should like it should. And this is what's gonna get
me riled up is that it's it's Christopher Sanchez going
up against Griffin. I give you five dollars. I'll give
you five dollars if you haven't looked already. Who did
Griffin Canning play for for the last five years before
the Mets? Yeah, no, clue there there we exactly do
you want to know his career?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
He alright, Sean, I'm pulling it up now, So so.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Who do you play a right?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
So he played for the Angels, the Angel twenty nineteen
to twenty twenty four. He's got a career four seven
three e R with a one three three whip. He's
not good. He's just not good. Well if it probably
make him look like it all started, probably, yeah, probably,
But no, this is a game they should win. Like,
this is flat out a game they go in, they
(32:40):
take care of business, and they win because they're a
good team. And then tomorrow you go in series split
and you send Zach Wheeler to the mound to win it.
Like these next two games should be win win. It's
it's that simple, Like they should be wins. But right now,
who knows.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It is an interesting spot for the Phillies tonight, once
again on the road, Game two, take it on the Mets.
It'd be nice to get a victory draft Kings sportsbook
where we're getting numbers from this afternoon Santa's and minus
one thirty five favorite plus one fourteen for Gryffith Canning.
You know, most of the time I could like remember
coming across the player because of the the the gambling aspect, like, oh,
(33:24):
that's a starting pitching for that team that I'm going
to bet against Griffith Canning.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Just the light's not going off. The light bulb is
not going off.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
He started essentially twenty eighteen games a season for the
last five years. He started thirty two last year for
the Angels, so I want to give him credit there.
Twenty fourty year before fourteen eleven eighteen starts again four
point or era as you said, four point seven to
three er. Last year he was five point one to
nine and again the Angel season was essentially over two
(33:51):
months into the season every year, but still normally come
across these pitchers and be like, yeah, I remember that guy.
No clue, So Cannington Knight Santa's on the mound of
the Phils last time out for Christopher Sanchez twelve strikeouts.
As far as the expectations tonight here for Sanchez, what'll
be looking at from his number of pitching props right
now seven plus at plus one forty as far as
(34:12):
strikeouts are concerned, do we go back? Look, the Phillies
are struggling putting the ball in play minus one ten
at five plus for Canning. The odds makers are looking
at this Phills lineup kind of like toast. If he's
at five plus and Sanchez at seven plus, that is
very intriguing to me.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yeah, it is. And I will say the Mets haven't
hit Sanchez particularly well. The guys on their roster have
an ops under six fifty career combined against Sanchez, they're
hitting just two twenty. The only guy that stands out
doors four for twelve in his career, Starling Marte is
four for thirteen, Brandon Emos five for sixteen. Juan Soto
(34:51):
struggled against him. Pete Alonzo as a homer, but he
hasn't hit him that great. It should favor the Phillies tonight.
I will say I tend to stay away from Sanchez
strikeouts on the road. He just seems to not strike
out a ton of guys on the road. That she's
(35:11):
always kind of been the tendency with him. I'd have
to pull it up. I would look more tonight towards
outs recorded that it's got to be a paper props somewhere.
Let's see down here, Outs recorded seventeen and a half. Yeah,
I guess it's minus one forty, so there's not a
ton of juice there. But maybe if you wanted to
(35:33):
look into an outs recorded seventeen and a half with
like a four plus all maybe to get you to
plus money. I would like his outs recorded line a
lot more than his strikeouts. He just hasn't struck a
ton of guys out on the road. Citizens Bank Park
has been where he strikes a ton of guys out.
That that's kind of always how he's been. But at
(35:56):
the same time, he's pitched well against the Mets. He
battled last year in the playoffs in Game two against them.
So yeah, I mean it should favor Sanchez in the
Phillies tonight.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
All right, Major League Baseball, we did have a good
one last night with the Yankees and a full slate
