Speaker 1: Hi, this is Kyle Sharber and welcome to the Philly Show.

Speaker 2: Yeah, don't spank my tomatoes.

Speaker 1: Whatever you do, no spanking of the tomatoes.

Speaker 3: Today, we're going to talk all sorts of baseball and tonight.

Speaker 3: Of course, All Star Game is on Tuesday night. But

Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people are super excited.

Speaker 3: Some might even say this is the main event Monday Night.

Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper home run derby, let's talk

Speaker 3: about it. It's time for first pitch. First pitch is

Speaker 3: powered by Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number one casino. We've been

Speaker 3: talking about this for weeks. Guys, All Star break home

Speaker 3: run Derby. Is it going to be Kyle Schwarber? Is

Speaker 3: it going to be Bryce Harper? Are they going to participate? Well,

Speaker 3: they are both in and there's so much buzz in

Speaker 3: the city about it. I mean, what are you guys

Speaker 3: as excited about this home run derby?

Speaker 1: Jim?

Speaker 4: I am, because you know I started asking Bryce Hopper

Speaker 4: if he was gonna just hit two months ago because

Speaker 4: I knew Schwaba was gonna be in it.

Speaker 1: You know, he led the National League at home runs

Speaker 1: last year.

Speaker 4: It's been the major league leader all year this year,

Speaker 4: he's got to be in that in his home field.

Speaker 4: I mean, big question was Harper gonna be there, And

Speaker 4: now he's there. I think I think it's bigger than

Speaker 4: the game personally. And I think also the home run

Speaker 4: derby has lost a little luster in recent years, maybe

Speaker 4: gotten a little monotonous, a little kind.

Speaker 1: Of sameness to it all.

Speaker 4: Well, this the participation of Schwarber and Hopper, two Phillies

Speaker 4: in Phillies home Ballpark, with with with Harper's personality, in

Speaker 4: Schwarber's long blow prowess, and.

Speaker 1: There's a bunch of other good guys in it too.

Speaker 4: I just think this is gonna be one of the

Speaker 4: most exciting home run derbys in an awful long time.

Speaker 4: And I've seen a lot of them. I saw the

Speaker 4: one in Fenway ninety nine with Maguire, I saw Samy

Speaker 4: Sosa hit about fifty of them in Turner Field, Bobby Abrel,

Speaker 4: Ryan Hodd.

Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a great one.

Speaker 4: Because and I think Larron has to do with Happer's participation,

Speaker 4: He's gonna raise all the boats in the harbor.

Speaker 1: Yeah. So one of the cool things about this is this,

Speaker 1: I think this is.

Speaker 2: It makes me think about David Montgomery and how important

Speaker 2: these events are.

Speaker 1: Right, David Montgomery wanted this. This is before he passed away.

Speaker 2: He wanted this All Star Game here in Philadelphia for

Speaker 2: the fans.

Speaker 1: He's always been about the fans, right and for.

Speaker 2: And and for the you know, the country's two hundred

Speaker 2: and fiftieth and this is exactly what he was looking

Speaker 2: for in these kind of events, particularly with the guys

Speaker 2: so with the star star power of Harper and Schwarber,

Speaker 2: for them to be participating in this this is all

Speaker 2: about the Philadelphia fan and this is uh and I

Speaker 2: all I think about is David Montgomery watching from above

Speaker 2: and thinking, this is exactly what we wanted to see.

Speaker 2: How many balls are gonna go off like David's angle?

Speaker 2: I mean, Jordan could Monty's angle during the course of

Speaker 2: the event. And I think that's what makes it special.

Speaker 2: It's not just you know, it's not just your your

Speaker 2: garden variety All Star Game or.

Speaker 1: You know, home run Derby. It's in Philadelphia with two

Speaker 1: of the most.

Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about it other than maybe

Speaker 2: O Tawny, you know, you're talking about Harper and Schwarber,

Speaker 2: two of them probably one of the most famous NL

Speaker 2: players that exist in baseball right now, particularly on this

Speaker 2: side of the world, and for them to be participating,

Speaker 2: it's really special.

Speaker 3: You got so you have Junior Cameronio, Jack Hagleon, Ben

Speaker 3: Rice Wilson, Contreras, Jordan Walker, Harper Schwarber, and Winnetaka Murakami

Speaker 3: are all participating at The format is a little different

Speaker 3: this year, so you get twenty Now you're it's not

Speaker 3: a timed event for the people that don't know. In

Speaker 3: the first round you get twenty swings. You gotta make

Speaker 3: them count. Second round, if you advance, you get fifteen swings,

Speaker 3: and then in the final again you get fifteen swings. Now,

Speaker 3: if you homer on your fifteenth swing, you can keep

Speaker 3: going until you don't omer. But that was why and Jim,

Speaker 3: we were in Kansas City. We had a long chat

Speaker 3: with Bryce about this, about the importance of the batting,

Speaker 3: about his picture, and he chose dinu Ebel to throw

Speaker 3: to him. And you mentioned Dino Evil days before. I

Speaker 3: feel like you knew something or you've been hearing a little.

Speaker 1: He might have got a little that angle. Boy, don't

Speaker 1: forget the people are saying to me every once in

Speaker 1: a while. And I'm going to say this, Jim.

Speaker 3: People will say something to me every once in a

Speaker 3: while that you say on the show, and they'll go,

Speaker 3: why do you think Jim said that?

Speaker 1: I said.

Speaker 3: A thing that Jim says is ever by a mistake.

Speaker 3: There's always something to it. He's always always something to it.

Speaker 1: So Dino Evil.

Speaker 4: Got a lot the best, and that guy is the best.

Speaker 4: Right down the middle of firm. Where do you want it?

Speaker 4: He puts it there? And uh, I guess it was

Speaker 4: a matter if any Dodgers were gonna be in it,

Speaker 4: and they wanted him.

Speaker 1: But but he wants.

Speaker 4: A good batting practice pitcher, not just because it swings,

Speaker 4: because he wants every time he steps on the field,

Speaker 4: he wants to do something great. And even though tonight

Speaker 4: is an exhibition and entertainment event, he wants to do

Speaker 4: great in it. He wants to win it. So Bryce

Speaker 4: Harper is the showman. He wants to put on a show.

Speaker 4: If you're gonna put on a show, you need a

Speaker 4: good batting practice pitcher.

Speaker 1: I will say this, and you asked, you know who

Speaker 1: do I like in this one?

Speaker 2: And I'm not a betting man, and I would never

Speaker 2: bet on anything like this. But the reality of it is,

Speaker 2: I think you hit the nail on the head. I

Speaker 2: don't think there's anybody who has more like raw power

Speaker 2: on the Phillies than does Kyle Schwarber. But in this

Speaker 2: sort of setting, I'm actually would pick Harper just because.

Speaker 1: He is the showman.

Speaker 2: These are the types of things that I means a

Speaker 2: red light player. We talked about it with Jimmy Rollins,

Speaker 2: we talked about it with like a variety of different players.

Speaker 2: And when the spot light is on man, these guys

Speaker 2: play with fire. And I gotta believe and this is

Speaker 2: no disrespect at all to you know, Kyle Schwarber, because

Speaker 2: he may very well crush everybody in this event.

Speaker 1: I just feel like, this is schwart this is a

Speaker 1: Harper's like, this is what he lives for. This is

Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that he lives for.

Speaker 2: And the fact that he was named by the commissioner

Speaker 2: and he's a legacy player. He does not want to

Speaker 2: disappoint man and he typically does not disappoint.

Speaker 4: Do you think He's named by the commissioner, so he's

Speaker 4: the Commissioner's legend pick. The commissioner wants to have a

Speaker 4: great week here right every event. He wants to be

Speaker 4: entertainment tonight. Do you think there was some subtle pressure

Speaker 4: that I'm naming you to the game and you do

Speaker 4: deserve it. You've had a great first half, but you

Speaker 4: weren't the fans pick I'm naming you to the game.

Speaker 1: I'd really like you in this home run Derby.

Speaker 2: Oh, I have to believe that there's probably a little

Speaker 2: bit of side action going.

Speaker 1: On there too little side action.

Speaker 3: We'd like to invite you to the Home Alstar game

Speaker 3: because you are worthy. But but boy, I think it

Speaker 3: would be really great if you got it.

Speaker 4: And by the way, if you had hem and hawf

Speaker 4: for about a week to try to build up the drama.

Speaker 1: That would have bit better.

Speaker 3: Well, it's funny because a lot of people I think

Speaker 3: it was in Philly when he first talked about it, right,

Speaker 3: I think it was Tim Kelly asked him the question

Speaker 3: and he said, I don't know, and a lot of

Speaker 3: people walked out of that clubhouse and I go, I

Speaker 3: don't think Bryce's gonna do it, and Jim, you were

Speaker 3: definitely like, I think he's trying.

Speaker 1: To build up the suspense. I think Bryce definitely wants

Speaker 1: to particip it's going to be a great Jam always

Speaker 1: has a method to his madness. There's no question and everything.

Speaker 1: You know.

Speaker 2: You know, people need to listen to Jim when he talks,

Speaker 2: because when he talks, he says things for a reason.

Speaker 1: Well to you, why would you do that? I am

Speaker 1: really glad you brought up David Montgomery.

Speaker 4: I've been thinking about him a lot lately because he

Speaker 4: wanted this game here, in this event, here for the

Speaker 4: two hundred fiftieth birthday of the country. And I remember

Speaker 4: being at an All Star game a few years after

Speaker 4: Citizens Bank Park opened and David was there and I

Speaker 4: was trying to get a hold of him.

Speaker 1: This is actually how I got David's cell phone number.

Speaker 1: I was trying to get a hold of him to

Speaker 1: ask if he'd want the All Star Ghiman.

Speaker 4: You know, in a couple of years, maybe twenty ten

Speaker 4: or someth you got a new ballpark, get the All

Speaker 4: Star game, right. And I asked one of the Phillies

Speaker 4: PR people if I could speak to David, and they

Speaker 4: found me in the press box and hand me it.

Speaker 1: Here's David's cell phone number. He wants you to call him.

Speaker 4: So I called him and he laid it all on

Speaker 4: the line he said, He said, it was great to

Speaker 4: have one, you know, within a few years of the

Speaker 4: park opening, but we want the two hundred and fiftieth

Speaker 4: anniversary of the country. We had the Bison Tano Tenio.

Speaker 4: We want the two fifty I don't even know how

Speaker 4: to say the big word, but.

Speaker 1: The quarter center quarter. So he wanted that one.

Speaker 4: And even he was pointing to this all those years,

Speaker 4: and uh he brought this game here, so uh just

Speaker 4: it's I'll be thinking him.

Speaker 1: A lot tonight.

Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyler Kuttner from The Athletic were a really great

Speaker 3: story on David Montgomery bringing this All Star Game, And

Speaker 3: I worked on the All Star Game program this year

Speaker 3: a little bit, and I made sure to include a

Speaker 3: little a short story on David, you know, making sure

Speaker 3: that this happened and bringing the All Star Game to Philly.

Speaker 3: We are live at Ironhill Brewery in Center City. One

Speaker 3: last question about the home run Deery guys is Harper Schwarber.

Speaker 3: I think all three of us a pig. One of

Speaker 3: those two guys to win it. Who would be your

Speaker 3: non Philly upset pick gets the crap boot out of

Speaker 3: him because he beats Schwarber Harper in the final and

Speaker 3: sends everybody home unhappy.

Speaker 1: Who's your guy that you think is gonna do, would

Speaker 1: do it, or could do.

Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Murakami from the White Sox, the Japanese slugger.

Speaker 4: We've got a lot of loft in his swing, pretty

Speaker 4: cozy ballpark.

Speaker 1: I could see him making a rumber. I think any

Speaker 1: one of the guys he could win, no doubt. I'm

Speaker 1: gonna throw Ben Rice's name out. Ben Rice.

Speaker 2: He's got some serious pop. He's had an unbelievable year.

Speaker 2: I mean he in a lot of ways. I mean,

Speaker 2: I know this is not the most famous name that

Speaker 2: I can bring up or the most popular name, but

Speaker 2: he reminds me a little bit of Travis Lee, like

Speaker 2: Travis Lee type power, you know, left handed juice here.

Speaker 2: He can really drive the ball out of the ballpark.

Speaker 2: So and he'll probably get seriously booed because he's a Yankee.

Speaker 1: You know.

Speaker 3: That's why I was actually gonna pick Ben Rice for

Speaker 3: like the feel good story of his dad throwing right

Speaker 3: throwing to him, and also Jack Hagwilliam's dad is going

Speaker 3: to throw him to him as well. That was first

Speaker 3: pitch powered by Parks casino must be twenty one gambling

Speaker 3: problem call one eight hundred gambler. It is Monday, and

Speaker 3: we if you, if you follow the Philly Show at all,

Speaker 3: you know that Monday.

Speaker 1: We talk about best Week. Oh yeah, it's time for

Speaker 1: Manco and Manco Best Week.

Speaker 3: When you want the best of the best, take a

Speaker 3: rundown to Manco and Manco and we won't running down

Speaker 3: to Manco and.

Speaker 1: Manco as well.

Speaker 3: This Friday, eleven thirty am, we are doing another live show.

Speaker 3: Let's at Manco and Manco in Ocean City and we

Speaker 3: have a couple big guests. We have Charlie Manuel coming

Speaker 3: and Larry Ball coming. We're very excited about that. So

Speaker 3: if you're down at the shore on Friday, definitely stop

Speaker 3: by Manco. You can see us, but also more importantly,

Speaker 3: you can see Larry Ball and Charlie Manuel. So, okay, guys,

Speaker 3: Manco and Manco Best Week, Slice of the pie?

Speaker 5: Who have the best monster? I mean it's almost a

Speaker 5: whole pie. I think we might all be an agreement

Speaker 5: on this. I think this is a whole pie situation.

Speaker 5: This is not We're not dipping it up into thirds

Speaker 5: and slices. I think it's Zach Wheeler with just a

Speaker 5: monster week.

Speaker 6: Zach Wheeler this week for the Philadelphia Phillies and two

Speaker 6: starts two and zero zero point six' nine earra in thirteen,

Speaker 6: innings six, hits one, run two, walks twenty four.

Speaker 1: STRIKEOUTS i looked this up last night On Baseball.

Speaker 3: Reference is the eighth time and is it the third

Speaker 3: pitcher In philly's history to have twenty four strikeouts two

Speaker 3: or three your walks in thirteen innings over two. STARTS

Speaker 3: i mean, Historic Kurt schilling And Jim bunning are the

Speaker 3: only other two pitchers to do that in two starts in.

Speaker 1: Phases he should be in The All Star.

Speaker 4: GAME a lot of circumstances he is not in The

Speaker 4: All Star, game but having a full Man Co manco

Speaker 4: pie is a pretty good consolation. Pie and he prized

Speaker 4: and winning our you know best of The, BEST i,

Speaker 4: mean you know you've got All hall Of, Fame All

Speaker 4: Star Manco Manco Philly Show best of The?

Speaker 1: Best what market you? Want that's a close. Story that's

Speaker 1: a very very close.

Speaker 2: Story great, Point, Jim, listen this guy has been the

Speaker 2: best pitcher in. Baseball much like we talked About Doc

Speaker 2: holliday during the course of his. Uh during his tenure in,

Speaker 2: baseball this guy has been the best pitcher in baseball

Speaker 2: by like a long, shot.

Speaker 1: Then bundy in baseball over the last eight to ten.

Speaker 2: Years it's not even. Close for, ME i, mean he's so,

Speaker 2: consistent he gets better and. Better he has now gotten

Speaker 2: to the point, WHERE i, mean this is a guy

Speaker 2: who is like a fastball. Curveball now he's knowing a

Speaker 2: split that is like one of the best pitches in.

Speaker 2: Baseball it's developing in a way that you would not

Speaker 2: believe this late in his. Career the things that he

Speaker 2: has been able to do as a pitcher and develop

Speaker 2: continue develop as a player have been. Spectacular it's unfortunate

Speaker 2: how it all worked out as far as The All

Speaker 2: Star game is, concerned because he does deserve to be,

Speaker 2: there there's no question in my, mind but he's now

Speaker 2: chosen not to be there for a variety of.

Speaker 7: Reasons but the reality of it, is the fans Of

Speaker 7: philadelphia have to be ecstatic about having this guy be

Speaker 7: on the, mound and now he's put himself in a

Speaker 7: position to be a front runner as A Cell Young award.

Speaker 4: Candidate for, me the split reminds me of When clemens And,

Speaker 4: shilling both power, guys added it mid to late in their,

Speaker 4: career and, they you, know went to even another.

Speaker 1: Level and that's what he's. Doing that split becomes such a.

Speaker 4: Weapon he threw a ton of them yesterday for as

Speaker 4: many as he would throw probably ever in a.

Speaker 1: Game it's added a new.

Speaker 4: Dimension his last three, starts thirty four, punches three.

Speaker 1: Walks he's pitching with an.

Speaker 4: Edge he's pitching with some, anger but he might ride

Speaker 4: that wave of edge or whatever you want to call,

Speaker 4: it right to the Cy.

Speaker 3: YOUNG i was gonna, say you almost have to have LIKE.

Speaker 3: Jt Real muto in the, bullpen coming out of the

Speaker 3: bullpen off every. Game go just by the, way you didn't.

Speaker 1: Make The All star.

Speaker 3: Team that's An All star you know, that, Right you're

Speaker 3: not An All star. Pitcher just want to make sure

Speaker 3: that's player and just keep them angry all year. Long but,

Speaker 3: yeah that he got pulled from that game a couple of,

Speaker 3: starts three starts.

Speaker 1: Ago he was very upset about.

Speaker 8: That.

Speaker 3: Jim you had a great back and forth with. Him one,

Speaker 3: word one, word one, word one word maybe as he

Speaker 3: made his. Point he gets denied from The All Star.

Speaker 3: Game after that game In, cincinnati he has that great,

Speaker 3: QUOTE i just want to offer a reminder who but

Speaker 3: he's using, reminded puts it on A t, Shirt and

Speaker 3: THEN i talked to him the next day In. CINCINNATI i,

Speaker 3: said if you will you actually pitch and he said.

Speaker 3: Yes so THEN i talked To Caleb cotham about. It he,

Speaker 3: Says i'm not going to stand in the man's. Way

Speaker 3: Dom manningley, Said i'm not going to stand in the man's.

Speaker 1: Way and so then there's an injury.

Speaker 3: Replacement Major League bistos, Says, hey how do you like

Speaker 3: to be in The All Star?

Speaker 1: Game Zach willis, says, Now i'm. Insulted it's a Very

Speaker 1: Zach weelther thing to.

Speaker 3: Do but, hey you, know maybe this will push him

Speaker 3: to having an even, incredible more amazing second. Half and

Speaker 3: wouldn't It and this is he's PROBABLY i don't want

Speaker 3: to say a long, shot but wouldn't it be something

Speaker 3: if he really pushed himself into that Nl Cy young

Speaker 3: talk late in the.

Speaker 1: Season AND i say not.

Speaker 3: A long shot or dark horse or, whatever only in

Speaker 3: the sense that right, now going into these final few,

Speaker 3: starts everybody's like it's Either miserawski Or Christopher. Sanchez but

Speaker 3: if If Zach wheeler keeps pitching like this on a postseason,

Speaker 3: team no.

Speaker 1: QUESTION i, mean, listen it's not necessarily how he, starts

Speaker 1: how you. Finish he didn't start.

Speaker 2: WELL i mean he starts a little slowly just BECAUSE

Speaker 2: i mean he's coming off with tos that injury and that.

Speaker 1: Surgery that's a huge.

Speaker 2: Deal and for him to bounce back and to pitch

Speaker 2: the way he's pitching is something THAT i don't. Know

Speaker 2: in some WAYS i expected it just because He's Zach.

Speaker 2: Wheeler in other, ways you, know you just didn't know

Speaker 2: where he's gonna be able to. Have like to, me

Speaker 2: it's not just about the. Velocity it's like we talk

Speaker 2: about it all the.

Speaker 1: Time it's to finish on his.

Speaker 2: Pitches like what you don't see out Of Andrew, painter for,

Speaker 2: instance is finish on his. Pitches and he's not doing,

Speaker 2: IT i think because he's coming off that.

Speaker 1: That, surgery AND i don't think he has a confidence

Speaker 1: to let it.

Speaker 2: Go and For Zach wheeler to have that sort of

Speaker 2: injury and to finish his pitches and to have the

Speaker 2: kind of life on his fastball that he has right

Speaker 2: now to get it past major league hitters on the

Speaker 2: on the regular because he, swing there's a lot of

Speaker 2: swing and miss on his.

Speaker 1: Fastball it's really pretty. Amazing it's.

Speaker 2: ASTONISHING i don't think That i've ever seen that for

Speaker 2: a guy coming back off of surgery like.

Speaker 1: That think about guys.

Speaker 2: Like sandy Al contra and Those sandy took like three

Speaker 2: years to get back after his after his, elbow a

Speaker 2: different type of.

Speaker 1: Surgery but like think about all the great, pictures it

Speaker 1: takes him some.

Speaker 8: Time uh the Guy, spencer the guy in uh In,

Speaker 8: ATLANTA i mean he's struggling TO i, mean he's not

Speaker 8: the same you know those guys who takes some. Time

Speaker 8: so Uh so it's a pretty extraordinary effort by.

Speaker 3: Him Philly Show live At Ironhill brewery In Center. City

Speaker 3: one last thought On Zach wheeler and it's Just jimmy

Speaker 3: mentioned the splitter and uh that same day In, CINCINNATI

Speaker 3: i was talking With, zach just doing a little story

Speaker 3: In Kyle schwarber and you know how he's so great

Speaker 3: behind the. SCENES i, said Is Kyle shwarber ever helped

Speaker 3: you with your? Pitching and he says, yes as a

Speaker 3: matter of, fact a couple of springs, ago WHEN i

Speaker 3: was learning to throw the, SPLITTER i got. IT i

Speaker 3: wanted him to step in for a LIVE vp because, he's,

Speaker 3: Like kyle's not just a big lead.

Speaker 1: Hitter he literally sees. THAT i, mean he's famous for,

Speaker 1: right like tipping pitches and all that. Stuff he's a student.

Speaker 1: Game he's got he's got a sixth.

Speaker 3: Sense and he said THAT i THREW i was throwing my,

Speaker 3: split and immediately, GOES i can tell it immediately when

Speaker 3: you're throwing your, split your, arms your your arm is slowing,

Speaker 3: down your body is slowing. Down as soon AS i

Speaker 3: know exactly when you're throwing, it you gotta you, gotta you,

Speaker 3: know obviously keep that same arm, speed same same movement.

Speaker 3: Going and so he's, like he went into the bullpen

Speaker 3: the next, day decided to let it rip more and

Speaker 3: he says it took.

Speaker 1: Off And zach probably would have figured it out.

Speaker 3: Eventually But zach said, this he, said, now who Knows

Speaker 3: Kyle schwarber never says that to, me never gives me that.

Speaker 3: Feedback maybe, that, YEAH i might have ditched the. Pitch

Speaker 3: that's WHY i said to, HIM i, said maybe you

Speaker 3: dished the. Pitch he's, like, yeah MAYBE i don't, know

Speaker 3: But Kyle schwarber gave me some great feedback and and

Speaker 3: now that and now he is throwing that split and

Speaker 3: it is such a. Weapon the other day In, cincinnati

Speaker 3: his last three strikeouts were all on, splitter as he

Speaker 3: got everybody on on other pitches earlier in the.

Speaker 4: Game that's that's a great anecdote for both, guys and

Speaker 4: it shows you how Thirsty wheeler is late career to

Speaker 4: just keep getting better and. Better remember one off season

Speaker 4: he would always work on a pitch in his, offseason

Speaker 4: going to try to work on his change, up a

Speaker 4: little bit, more added to split.

Speaker 1: Late this guy's never.

Speaker 2: Content so the beauty of this is to, me the

Speaker 2: lesson here for me is you cannot negate the human.

Speaker 1: Element there is not someone who.

Speaker 9: Can put a camera on him or do The edgatron

Speaker 9: or whatever the case may, be and be able to

Speaker 9: stand in the box and, Say, okay that looks.

Speaker 1: Different the person has to see.

Speaker 2: It that person has to stand in the box and, see,

Speaker 2: OH i see a. Difference and those are things that

Speaker 2: are the human element of the game that gets lost

Speaker 2: in the.

Speaker 1: Shuffle AND i think that there's a place for.

Speaker 2: Analytics i'm not going to be the old head that

Speaker 2: says that there shouldn't be any, analytics but there's certain

Speaker 2: things by just watching the game and keeping your eyes

Speaker 2: with the human mind and the human pair of eyes

Speaker 2: and mouth and, nose whatever the senses, are you can

Speaker 2: learn about the, game in my, opinion way more than

Speaker 2: just seeing it on a. Screen and for, me that's

Speaker 2: that's where baseball becomes something real and tangible for the human.

Speaker 1: Person that Was manco And Manco Best.

Speaker 3: Week when you want the best of the, best go

Speaker 3: To manco And manco. Again we will be there On friday,

Speaker 3: morning eleven thirty am live show for an, hour the

Speaker 3: three of, us but most Importantly larry bo And Charlie

Speaker 3: manuel will be there as. Well, Hey Monster energy is

Speaker 3: keeping The Philly show going all season.

Speaker 1: Game it was.

Speaker 2: IMPRESSIVE a couple of storylines just real. Quick The phillies

Speaker 2: do not play, well had not played well during the.

Speaker 2: Day they played an excellent baseball game that was huge for,

Speaker 2: them and the fact that they had a hustle single

Speaker 2: infield single sort of helped separate this. GAME i know

Speaker 2: it was a big hit BY, jt but that's hustle

Speaker 2: single By scott drove in a run put the game

Speaker 2: away in my. OPINION i, mean it was already sort of.

Speaker 2: There but they did some things that were Like Baseball
