• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now man Jimmy is laughing away his pain because
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: we're about to watch one of the worst errors you've
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: ever seen. Let's watch those Dodgers Phillies highlight, shall we?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Jeez?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: First of all, what a pitching performance that was spentacular.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Your guy Christopher Sanchez getting it done.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I told d earlier to actually take a closed look
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: at Christopher Sanche and then tell me who he likes
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: thro the thyng and this is fly JIMMI. This guy
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: was just electric. This is everything you need from a
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: n ace. He gave it to the Philadelphia Phillies and
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: his teammate.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Great performances in the field there, first by Kepler, then
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: by Harper, and then Glass now getting it done as well,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: striking out Schwarber, striking out Marsh. Both pictures untouched them.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: And it was amazing to see him come back in
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: this role. Remember he came in relief last time, but
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: to come and start in Matt Sanchez inning for inning.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Both pictures gave their team's chances throughout this game.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: This is when it got I see top of the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: seventh Kepler advances to second on an error she and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: just unable to catch the ball get his foot down
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: very next at that the guy that said I'd rather
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: play away from home proved wide. Nick Castillano said double
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the left. Kepler scores, Philly up one to zero, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: then the Phillies defense came up big again.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: Jayro definitely this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, Castiano says, although he taught trash
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: and said what he did, he came up with big
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: hitch time and time again. Let's be honest, and this
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: play right here by Trey Turner, and I was end
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: up there. I'm not gonna lie. I was talking trash,
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: pumping myself up. Now you look like Jay Roll out there,
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: out there making plays and making a throw and pumped
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: up about it. So you know, you got to get
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: some respect to those guys in.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The dinner bases loaded after purposely walking show Hey Otani
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and Doron walks, Wookie Betts justin. Dean scores and that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: looks us into extra innings. Top eleven, two outs, Harper
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in scoring position, Vessia on the bump, and Bader is
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: chasing low and away. So we're still at one. Now
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we go to the bottom of the eleventh two outs,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Monsie singles to center, Kim advances to third. It's all
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: gonna come down to this. PA has bases loaded, O'Ryan
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: kirkring pitching great pitch chops it grounds to him. He
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: could have thrown it first, but he throws it away.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Kim misses the bag, initially, comes back and scores the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: game winning run and it ends on an error. Just
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the second postseason game ever to end on an hour
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: series ever. You see he misses the bag there, turns around,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: make sure he makes it, even apologizes to JT real Muto.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But a phenomenal Phillies team, a phenomenal Phillies season comes
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to an end on such an ugly play. Dodgers don't care.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: They're moving on. Who they face next will find out
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Saturday night. Before we break it down, let's listen to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Lauren Shahadi as she's up with Plastic and the docs.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: You liked to watch from.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: The dugout last postseason?
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: How much better?
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: Is this?
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: A lot better?
• 3:07
  Speaker 9: I will take this one over the last one.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, we didn't win, but it's way better to participate.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: To be able to go out and do that. Our
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: team played.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Amazing, A bunch of dude stepped up, amazing defense.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Rokies the Mayon that was incredible so I'm just as
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: awesome to kind of reap the rewards right now.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: All game tonight, they're keeping us off balanced, excuting pitches
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that the heart starts.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Racing a little bit. Buds, the bud's pumping, and it's
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: tough to make plays, and so for us to find
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: a way to come through the end, that was just huge.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: When you put the bone playing baseball, you the good
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: things happened, and thankfully we were ready to.
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: Get a little things going. It's really hard to talk,
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: and I'm really cool right now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: This is everything.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: This is what we played for when you go into
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: spring training in February. This is what it's about.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: We got two more times hopefully.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Closer. So many ways
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to go with this. Why don't we go the play
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the very play at the end of the game, Ryan Kirkring,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Let's take another look, got it? We were yelling, we
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: were screaming, how does this happen?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: How do you.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Process what happened on that last play?
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know. It's just just full panic mode. At
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: that moment when he didn't fill the ball properly, he
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: just blacked out. He just panicked and all he went
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: and went to think about was the time the game
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: when he run was at third. There's still plenty of time,
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: plenty of time to make the play. Pohes wasn't even
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: out the forty five foot line, which means he's not
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: even halfway there. JT's coming up, pointing at first, yelling
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: you can't hear. But it goes back to having the
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: game plan run through plays. We talked about it. If
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: I strike him out, cool, if it's come back and
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: to me, where am I.
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: Going with it?
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: If it takes me to the third baseline? Do I
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: take it?
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Throw it the third?
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: If it takes me to the first baseline, obviously it
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: is right up front, if it's a dribbler, right up front,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: and I might go on a glove flip the JT,
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: any of those things.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But he just panicked.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: He just panicked. It was almost he was, you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: looking for the out, but almost like as if he
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: took his way out of it other than a strikeout.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: And it's tough to see. Is something that you're going
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: to have to live with, I mean little the rest
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: of your life. And I've been there, You've been there
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: where you've been eliminated and you go back and you
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: run over scenarios personally what you could have done, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: that right there is just fundamental baseball, one on one pfps.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: You practice comebackers as a broken back. It wasn't hit hard.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: There were plenty of things that he did right. It
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: was just that one player that would go down in infamy.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But you know what, Jimmy, For kids that are watching anybody,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: young players in baseball, the little details of the game,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: it's what take you to the next level. Anticipation in
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the game. It's a must. It's a must, and this
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: is a great lesson for everybody watching. Everybody that wants
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to be an elite player needs to understand that the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: little details are important as your training, your strength, as
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: your abilities. That's everything you do in baseball. They need
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to pay attention and anticipate themselves to what might come
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: during the game, what kind of situation might pop up.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: And this is a.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Real good example. I think he went out there with
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the mentality I'm gonna get this guy out, I'm gonna
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: execute pitches, but forget that he needed to also fulfill
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the responsibility of fielding, throwing, and securing that out look.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: The Phillies could have added more than one run. There
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was also the question of do you walk show hey
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: o Tani there you guys both said in the back
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that was the correct baseball decision there, even though it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: tied the game. And then there's the Dodger. So let's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: get to the positivity of this. Can we talk about
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Sasaki where this is a kid that they didn't realize
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: he was gonna be the closer. Came to them in
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: September said fix my mechanics, and he has been unbelievable
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: in every appearance in this post.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: And sometimes you just need to switch, you know, when
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: things weren't going the way you thought it would over
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: the course of the regular season. Sometimes switch up first
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: going and talking to them saying, hey, I need to
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: work on my mechanics. They do that, you go down
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: to the minor leagues and get it. And also even
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the focus. You know, I remember when Zach Grinky was
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: kind of going through this. He came back as his
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: dominant closer first before coming back and getting a cy
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: young back as a starter. Heinshrew, sometimes you might need
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: a switch like this, and what better place to get
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: it with the pressure on you in the postseason, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: coming in in intense moments, staying cool and calm and
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: using the mechanics you've been working on when you asked
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: to be fixed.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: It was out four and a half months with a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: shoulder problem, and he came back and what was supposed
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to be the weakness of the Dodgers got filled really quickly.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Jay Roll and coming back to you again, because not
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: only is this the end of the season for the Phillies,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it kind of feels like the shutting of the window.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: You look at those names right there. These are the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: unrestricted free agents after this season. This is the oldest
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: team in baseball, so you have to imagine a lot
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of changes are coming. Wheeler recovering from injury, but shober
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Real to Suarez, the recent failure in the postseason. Is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: this the end of this era of Phillies.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Tase with this group, yes, I think the era can
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: keep going on, meaning they can keep winning. They can
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: find ways to get back to the playoffs, because they're
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: good enough to do that, They've proven it. But with
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: this specific group, yes, I say two of those three
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: guys probably.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: Won't be here.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure what the combination looks like. We know
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Schwarber is going to demand a lot of money, So
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: is JT and Rangers going to demand some money? Also,
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: what type of year you want to get them and Ranger? Yes,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: these are guys that have shown up when it counted
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: the most, so you're not going to keep them all.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: I mean the Phillies, Yes, they have a lot of money,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: but they have.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: To be smart with it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: You know, those days of just being able to go
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: and sign guys for three hundred million dollars, that probably
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: won't happen. It doesn't happen unless you start bringing them
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: championships and they falling short. So they have to find
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: a new mix, get a little bit more athletic, get
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: some guys back that they that they feel can contribute.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: But also looking the minor leagues, you got young Crawford
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: down there, who has a hell of a year. It's
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: time to give that kid a look. He speed in
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: some couple of situations where if he wasn't starting in
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: the playoffs, he would have been able to pinch, run
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: and change some things. As we saw they turned out.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: But as far as this group of guys specifically, yes,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: that windows closed, but the era of winning to get
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: into playoffs, giving himself a chance to win a championship
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: that that door is still open.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: The franchise is processing this loss. Let's listen to a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: few of the players, starting with Oryan Kirkery.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: Guys, see that she keep your head up.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: It's awesome stake.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: Just baseball happens, and to keep your head up would
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: be good for a long time. In the comment's my fault,
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: just opportunity to score, Just keeping the back of my
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: head of this really sucks right now, but hopefully keep
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: pushing when to get over this.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: He just got caught up in the moment a little bit.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: I feel I feel for him because he's he's putting
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: it all on his shoulders. But we went as a team,
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: and we lose as a team. When this happens, it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: like the your entire world kind comes to a stop
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: and it's just a thud, and it's just not a
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: good feeling.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Feel really bad for him, Feel bad, you know, not
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: just for him. I don't want to, you know, feel
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: like put pity on him. But you know, it could
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: have been any one of us. It's a team efforts sometimes,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: you know, baseball just happened.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Before a real kid like that, he's probably feeling the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: way of the role on the shoulders after that play.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: So I just tried to reassure him that the whole
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: game's not on him. There's a lot of opportunity for
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: us to win that game, and we didn't do what
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: it took. I love these guys in this clubhouse, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: it's just frustrated and go out like this. You know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: we you know, we had what it took. We have
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the talent in this room. The won World Series, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: we self score that ultimate goal.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Is not about the last play, right, it's about that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: It's just, you know, just the group that we had.
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: I don't know about it, you know, I felt like
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: that our group, even though we were down, you know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: two games, I felt like that we had a group
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: that was we shown that we've been able to overcome
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: a lot of different things, and I felt really deep
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: down my heart that that this is a team that
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: was going to do it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: You can sense just crushed the emotions they're feeling. What
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: do you think seeing all.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: That, I actually feel really bad for this twenty four
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: year old, and I just want to tell them, hey,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: keep your head up, learn from this mistake. Everybody that
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: has been through baseball understands that even though it was
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: a mental mistake. Probably all of us have gone through that,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: So keep your head up, don't give up on yourself.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Your teammates understand you. They're honest, They're not going to
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: hang it on you. For the fan base, please understand
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: that this kid was brought up prematurely. I know Philly
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: is very demanding, but please please don't let the starting
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: carry that load for the rest of his career. And
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say, you know, it's devastating because the
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: efforts that the city and the team has put together
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: to kind of put together a championship team, a team
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: that could easily win a World Series if everything falls
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: in place. But I also think that the organization needs
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: to do a better job as mentoring the entire team,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: because yes, we rely a lot on Harper's rover and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the leadership that you have with a Munto to actually
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: guide the rest of the players. But the organization in general,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: from top to bottom, needs to do a better job
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: at mingling with the players and understanding really what make
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: them kind of lead them to feel better about themselves
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: every time they go out there, because the boopend needs
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of help when they when they take the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: ball and so do some of the players. I believe
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: guys like you could really help mentor some of those
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: guys in the clubhouse.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: It was a It was a moment that overshadowed other
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: great performances. Glass Now was unbelievable, Sanchez was unbelievable, Lozardo
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: was untouchable up there as well. Doran got it done.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: But in the end, it was one play That is
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the difference between the Dodgers moving on and the Phillies
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: not going to Philadelphia for Game of five. While did
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you free frombout February through November next year?
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: Man, I think obviously at this deck, at this vest
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: very you.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Know, yeah, we're not ready to give up Jimmy and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think is going anywhere either.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, good, call the players in from your
