  Speaker 1: October eighth, twenty twenty four, and in the discussion with
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Eric and myself was recorded on Wednesday, October ninth, twenty
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: twenty four. So by the time you hear this, some
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: things may have changed here there, but we hope you
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: enjoy the show. Welcome to the Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the longest running weekly Philly sports podcast show in the world,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: eleven and a half years strong. Blah blah blah. The
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies just fucking lost an entire Sea the Division
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: series to the New York Mets. We are not happy,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of course, not happy, as we are recording this Wednesday night,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: October ninth. The Philly season's over ninety five wins this season,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a division title, and they have absolutely nothing to show
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: for it. What an enraging series against the New York Mets,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Mets taking the series three to one. My gosh, holy fuck.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'm Jeff Warren. I'm here with my buddy Eric Leonard.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Eric good times.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fuck that what a fucking disaster. I think I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: text all you guys, you know, our friend group and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: before the series, and I was like, I don't have
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a good feeling about this one.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: The Mets are on fire, best record since June first,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I think in all of Baseball sixty sixty five and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: forty or something like that, something like that. Yeah, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: they were just killing teams. And I didn't like that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: last heeries against them before the playoffs at all, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I felt it kind of gave me a little bit
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: of confidence, you know. And I I have to think,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: like in their clubhouse when they were like we're playing
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the Phillies, Fuck yeah, let's do this.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And the Phillies did not do that because just a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: what's what's the good? Like a limp, just a limp
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: showing by the Phillies, just so.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Just non inspirational, like lat yes, yes, no, no no inspiration,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: like no fire, no fire at all. Maybe maybe I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: shouldn't use the word inspiration, but just no fire at all.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is too I think
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what we I think what's going to happen after this,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: within this next week, is we're all analyzing this and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: this is new for us. Right now. But I think
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies, they're spending money, the ownership is, they're
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: bringing in talent. Again, ninety five wins during the course
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of the regular season, not bad. I'll take it, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'll take it every year. But guess what. Guess what
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: they're reminding me of one Philadelphia seventy six ers who
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you just can't trust. And that's what I'm talking about.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It comes down to, Okay, when the season starts next year,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: when the season starts and the Phillies are, you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: potentially at the top of the division, maybe second in
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the NL East, the trust Are we gonna be able
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to trust this team?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Hell, maybe they win one hundred games, Eric, but are
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we gonna trust them in the postseason?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: No?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's the same shit that we have with the Sixers
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: year after year after year, and it is getting old
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: being a Philly sports fan in so many ways. I'm
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: gonna go through a list in a little bit, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I just need to, like, I need to calm down.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I need to take a drink here, go ahead, go
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: ahead and say whatever you want.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Well, what one huge takeaway after the game? Just it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: just pissed, right, I was really taken back to the Eagles.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Excuse me in the early two thousands when they lost
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: those NFC title games like three in a row, the Rams,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: no one, but you walked away like all right, we'll
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: be back next year. I love this team. And then
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: two they got spanked by the Bucks and it was
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: just depressing. It was just sad. And then the loss
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to the Panthers, I was fucking pissed. That's exactly how
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it feels. I know the Phillies didn't get to the NLCS,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: but each of those years, but like that was the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: exact same feeling, like, well man, they lost in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: World Series, we'll be back right, And then to losing
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks and LCS sad. I wasn't I wasn't angry.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, okay, made me next year. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: this one was like fuck this team. I so soft
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And I would love to read our tech. The text
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: messages from uh.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Please, the one from Lens. Yes, yeah, if you can,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if you can read Lens, if you can get his
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: text message there, if you have it, just read it
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: because it is absolutely one hundred per true. I mean
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he has a grabby. I wish he was on right now.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, I don't. I don't know if
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he could have been on. I didn't ask about this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: since it was like your turn. Anyway, he was absolutely
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: correct with what he was saying about this team being
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: soft and just not having it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some of these texts you can't read like they're pretty,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: but I would read this one because I think he's right,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and I do want to talk about the fan base
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and I'm part of it too, So yeah, I'm going
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: against myself here. This is right from Len. I'm sure
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: he won't care. I'm glad we had our moment of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: babying Turner's ass with the ovation when he sucked most
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of the last year, but he was stealing money. He needs
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a taste of philadelph Philadelphia before went soft. And I'm
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: one of the first people on the show to be like,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I love how the fan base is now where they're
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a little more accepting, a little like they're happier. It's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a better fan base.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: We talked about that on the show many times, right.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And I do remember when Tray was struggling last year
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and the team they got a billboard. The team or
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the fan base was like cheering him on like, you
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: can do this, tray, but guess what, he can't do it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And as a fan base, it's like, well, I'm done
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: with that shit now. It's like, do your fucking job.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You make three hundred million dollars a year, you sucked
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs two years in a row. Now you're
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a regular season I think, I text you, guys, this
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: team is like the Utah Jazz of baseball right now.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Awesome regular season team. And he's like he's not even
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: fucking stocked in him alone. He's like, uh, who's the gig.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: He's great, he's Greg Oaster tag greg Oster tag. Yes,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Like he's just he's kind of the quintessential Philly in
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the playoffs where you're just like, man, this team just
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't have it. I'm just not feeling it. And for
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: him to be in the two hole making three hundred
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year and just striking out like he
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: did in the eighth inning just a week strikeout, like
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: just pathetic like that. That he's he's the He's the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: antithesis of what's happening with this team. In the postseason.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The pitching was good enough.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Honestly, starting pitching was fantastic. Through this series. By the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: way it was, it was I shouldn't say fantastic, it
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was very very good. You got to give credit to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez, credit where it is due tonight from him
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on the mound when things have been shaky with him,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he came through. It was a gutsy performance.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Nola wasn't great yesterday. Sanchez did his job
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: in Game two. But like, honestly, even with the pitching,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the offense was so bad and like, honestly, the Philly
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: should have been swept. Yeah, like they got lucky on Sunday,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: But can we just go down the roster offensively, like
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna bash. Like the bullpen kind of sucked,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: but I thought they kind of. Yeah, Okay, they sucked
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: all right, Yes, But how the hell do you how
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: many I don't have the stats in front of me,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: how many runners left on base? Offense? Right?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Exactly?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: See the kind of like you were playing all year long,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: where you're scoring five to six runs a game. Your
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: bullpen can give up a few runs here and there, right,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and you should still win the game. To me, this
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is all on the offense. The Kyle Schwarber thing. Love
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the guy awesome in the community, love his home runs.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: He can't be a leadoff hitter anymore. It's kind of
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: a joke now, it's just kind of silly and all.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Anybody who wants to bash Castianos after this season can
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: go fuck themselves. Yes, I'll take I'll take nine Nick
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Castianos over one Tray Turner any day of the week
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Casti was the best hitter on the team this week.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And just it's not even that he's got balls on him.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: He does.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: He's just he's a tough guy and he like he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: got bravado. He hits some big spots like he was.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: He was pretty good this this postseason.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: There was fire within him, more so than I saw
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: from Trey Turner, more so than I saw from Schwan,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: more so than I saw from Bryce Harper as well.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Really, yeah, Harper was disappointing, but like, honestly, the as
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you go down the list, like Alec Baum, awesome first
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: half and just fell apart the second.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely just fell off a cliff, just fell off
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a cliff. I was loving him just for most of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the season, but boy and I kept trying to prop
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: him up. But yeah, I'm one of those fans. I'm
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: one of those fans. Lenn was talking about one of
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: those fans.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like and some of the guys I think
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: show the true colors this year, like like Scott is
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: not a stuff's on it every day like Superstar where
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: he's just not like he batted two forty this year.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Brandon Marsh, get the fuck off my team next year.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I want you to cut. I want you cut tonight.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I think I text you guys. That whole thing's always
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: kind of bug me. With the beard and the wet hair,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: is like a wrestler, and he's not a centerfielder. It's
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a fucking joke. He should not be starting, like he's
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a bench player. He was a toss in with the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: trade with the Angels like two years ago. Right, yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I mean real Muto, it's kind of over, Like let's
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: just call what it is. He calls a great game
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: behind the plate. That's cute. I can get a catcher
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: does that at age thirty whatever old he is for
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: far less money. Rojas Sosa just they're just not everyday
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: players either, like very top heavy and when the top
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't perform, like this team just fucking falls apart. And
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: man I know they ran into a buzz sa like
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I said against the Mets, but they just it was
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: all the offense, like this, starting pitching did their job.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: The bullpen kind of sucked, but like, right, are you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: gonna come back next year with the same fucking team.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. No, they can't. I mean they can't. They
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: can't do it. Look, you're absolutely right. The offense was
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: absolutely atrocious. And in this last game of the season,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: this last game of the NLDS, the bats absolutely bailed
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: out Quintana. He struggled to throw strikes all game. We
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: saw it. I couldn't believe it. He's struggling to throw
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: strikes throughout this game. He finished with ninety total pitches,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: forty eight strikes, forty two balls. I would love to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: see how many of those forty eight strikes were Philly's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: batters actually just swinging at dog shit. He probably didn't
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: throw more than thirty pitches in the strike zone, to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. And that's another theme from this
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: entire postseason, in this Division series, them just swinging at everything.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They were swinging at so much junk. The undisciplined nature
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of this team for these guys and these veterans getting
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: paid what they're getting paid to swing at junk constantly,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and it comes down to top or two. It really does.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Let's say, I mean, let's talk about him. I mean,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of course we're seeing people on the socials out there here.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: He's gotta be gone next year. I doubt that's gonna
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: happen after three consecutive postseason appearances. Yes, we know what
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: happened during those postseason appearances. Maybe he will be gone,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: who knows. But he signed contract extension this past season,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: so it just everything just went to Ship except for
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the starting pitching. Everything went to Ship.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, leaving Hoffman in there. Uh. And he was just brutal.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, why even bring at that point too?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he just couldn't find the strike zone. It
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: was just pathetic. And as a fan, you're like, all right,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I know I'm not smarter than the manager, ID get
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the but like, it's pretty fucking obvious to me. The
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: guy is throwing, he's all over the place, he looks
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: scared of Ship out there. Yeah, why are we doing this? Yeah?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And it led to the Lindor Grand Slam, and man,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: how how fucking pathetic is it that Trey Turner was
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: like the starter in me all straight game shortstop and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Lindor is like fifty times better than him, not even
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a competition. But yeah, they cannot come back next season
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: with the same roster. I'm sure Top will be back.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I do understand the cries of like fire this fucking
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: guy for some of the moves he made. But man,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I what's sad is like they're gonna come back and
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: do the same shit next year. Like they're kind of
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: locked into this team, much like the Sixers. I've been
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: for multiple times, almost saving some big trades, Like that's
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: kind of what the Sixers have done. Like I'll give
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I'll give the Sixers credit for that, Like they don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: bring back the same roster every year, Like Paul George
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: is in town now, like good smart moves, Caleb Martin's
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: on the team. I hope the Phillies do something similar,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: but it's a little more difficult in baseball. It's just
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: a bummer that. Yeah, I think one through nine is
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: gonna be pretty much the same. Can can we just
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: not have marsh In there? I've never been a Marush fan.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I again, I honestly think it's a guy has never
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: made that much money with his hair besides like faby
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: or and shit, but like he honestly is like he's
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: for some reason, he's my main target, and I how
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: is he He's not a starting outfielder in baseball. It's
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: just pathetic.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: And I don't get how one of the best bullpens,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: though one of the best bullpens throughout the season in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, completely shit the bed. I mean, you've
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: got Jeff Hoffman in this game, in this final game,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: throwing garbage. I mean to the point where he's advancing
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: base runners because of wild pitches. I mean a number
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of wild pitches. And that shit doesn't happen throughout the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: regular season, but in big spots, that's what happens. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I think eric us as Philly sports fans, it's just
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it is getting so old, and it's why I went
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: back to the hole. The Phillies are now in that
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: sixers territory where we just can't trust them. We're not
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to trust them if this roster is
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: still together in twenty twenty five, which a lot of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: it is going to be. I agree with you, they're
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: probably still gonna make the postseason. But you know what,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the majority of the fan base should be going into
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: next year's postseason. Yeah, I'm already saying they're going, folks,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and they we should be doubting them. We should absolutely
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: be doubting them, just like we do with the Philadelphia
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: seventy six ers. And it has been a tough road
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of purgatory in Philly sports over these past few years.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Let's start out real quick. I'm gonna read off a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: list here real quick. The twenty twenty two Eagles wildcard loss,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two six Ers Eastern Conference Semifinal loss,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two Phillies World Series loss. Let's move
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: on to twenty twenty three, folks, twenty twenty three Eagles
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl loss, twenty twenty three again, Sixers Eastern Conference
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Semifinals loss, the twenty twenty three Phillies NLCS loss. I'm
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: not done yet. Let's move to twenty twenty four. This year,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the Eagles epic collapse and wildcard loss. This year, the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Sixers first round loss. They didn't even get to the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference semifinals. First round loss with them, and then
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: now this NLDS loss with the Phillies. Dude, it is
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: just complete purgatory in the world of Philly sports, it is.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: You know what, we got good teams, and we talk
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: about them on our podcast, we read articles about them.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: We've got some pretty good teams here, but they don't
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: show up when it truly matters and when it means
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: something to them and to the fan base. And that's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to read that list there, Eric.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything in the end, because our hearts
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: are continually broken time and time again.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Man, I mean, is it better to just have shit teams?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I wonder playoffs?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Like I wonder if I was like down in like
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: like Carolina or something, or maybe I don't, I don't
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: know where else, Like who said shit teams? You know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: there's a lot. There's a few of them out there.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Of course. You know Cleveland, well they got the Cavs.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: The Cavs have been doing like okay, but.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: That's sad the Guardians are losing to them. Yeah, I'd
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: rather be us than Cleveland, but yeah, it's I mean,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at the pitching stats as well, not great strong,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: but but you pay those bats, I mean, at a
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: out of the salaries for the batch, You're you're like
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you're paying, right, yeah, over a billion dollars, you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: for for total salary, and like your top heavy and
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: that's you kind of based your entire team on those
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: guys being able to knock in runs, big time home runs.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: But what I'm seeing across baseball is teams not doing that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I know, Lindor won tonight with a with a Grand Slam,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: but they have a lot of good hitters to get
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: on base. And I'm watching the Tigers taking out the Guardians.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Possibly they're kind of a scrappy get on base kind
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: of scores from runs kind of team, and even the
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Padres are a little bit and it's just kind of
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: maybe this is just not how you build teams now.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: But you're so locked in that this is the same
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: shit you're gonna see next year. And what's really gonna
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: suck is that, like we had an awesome bullpen year,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: we are due for a ship year next year. Let's
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: get in, so Castianis and Harper gonna hit forty five
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: home runs a piece, Let's get back to the playoffs. Right,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It's like that that that window we were about windows, right,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: the Sixers have a one year maybe two year window, right,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: The Flyers don't even have a window in their house.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: They're just.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Get into our season preview in this podcast. There's gonna
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: be positivity, folks. There's gonna be some positivity towards the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: end of this podcast.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: They too now that fuck the Flyers are in a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: fucking panic room with no windows. The Eagles even feel
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: like they got a window of like two years or
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: maybe three, right, but the Phillies, like, the Phillies felt
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: like it was wide open like two years ago after
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: they lost in the World Series, like, oh my god,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: we like that everyone's in the early thirties. This feels
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: really good. And all of a sudden, with this loss,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: this is when you started looking at the ages of
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the players and like the performance and wow, they're getting
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: old fast. And Zach Wheeler is gonna be thirty five
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: next year, Wheelers or Noel's gonna be thirty three or three,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: whatever it is. All you guys are gonna mid to
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: late thirties here soon, and then you're gonna start to
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: feel that like remember when Chase Elly was staling the team,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: he had gray hair, he was still making like thirty
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year, and like, you're gonna start like
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: real Muto, Like what are we gonna do with him?
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: He can't be catching the next three years? What's his contract?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Trey Turner's like signed through like age forty four? Are
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: we gonna do with that? Reasonal contracts are nuts, Like
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: it's almost got that Pooh Hooles deal when he was like,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm still batting at forty six years old. Yeah,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: but that's what's happening to this team. And like the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: window really felt like it was shut tonight, Like that
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: was that was the hardest part and why I was pissed,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: like you fuckers had a chance and that then the
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: mets of all fucking teams. Yeah, lamb the fucking window
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: on your fingers and like this is it? Yeah, like
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: this is the I It took me back to like
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: like like Len's like Lens text like being an angry,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: drunken Philadelphia Like yeah, I don't, I don't mean nice anymore.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to do the billboards with
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: do a tray like that, like fucking perform exactly bullshit.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I as we're doing the show here,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you know. Bryce Harper did his presser and this was
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: his quote and I'm I'm pretty I'm actually pissed off
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: about it. He says, we've got to be better, We've
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: got to finish the job. We've got a great group
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of guys and a really good core. We just weren't
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: able to get the job done. Yeah, no ship, no ship.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: What a fucking terrible quote right there. I mean, what
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a tear canned quote. People. By the way, people ask
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: why we don't usually why we don't have athletes on
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the show. I don't want athletes on this show because
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: we get canned shit answers like that. I I he's
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: a leader on this team, he is supposed to be
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the fire on this team. And an answer like that, No,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I want you to come out in a press conference
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: and say we were swinging god awful bats. We were
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: not playing good baseball. I want you to say. I
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: don't want you to say the obvious from an overall perspective,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: that you got to finish the job and you weren't
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: able to get the job done. I want you to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: say you were swinging at junk, swinging it shit, you
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: were not disciplined. I want to hear that, because that's like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that's accountability to me. That's accountability.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Well, and you know what, tn T has the market
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: cornered on obvious horseshit when it comes to announcing and talking.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Oh god, one upside to this whole thing being over
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: is Adam Wainwright and ag Persinski. Now like top of
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the eighth inning, God, Adam Wayne Wright goes, Philly's got
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: to score some runs here. Holy fuck, dude, how much
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: money are you making to say that? You dumb, awesome,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: awesome career. You're a Hall of Famer probably, but go
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: fuck yourself Like I it is so embarrassing that they
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: allow him to be on television saying, well, you know,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the down four one, they got to score some runs here. Wow,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: insight if you fucking listen, Sometimes athletes don't make the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: best announcers. It's been proven over and over. Agent Prazinski
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: sucks balls on live mic. He sucks like he was
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: saying the same shit, like, you know, like the Phillies
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: gotta throw some more strikes. You're in the fourth inning.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You don't want to walk anybody? Wow, genius, Like you
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: think so doctor, Like I know that I'm watching baseball
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: a long time. I know you're a catcher and you
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: probably understand the game really well, but holy shit, dude,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: it was really bad.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I thought? In that first game
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler's pitching A J. Prazinski. He kept going on
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: about a pitch that was not called correctly that Zach
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Wheeler threw. It's like, you know what, yeah, Wheeler got one,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: got one there. He kept on. I can't believe it
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't called a strike. He kept going on and on,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and I was actually thinking at that point, I'm like,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: how is this bozo doing what he is doing when
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: there are so many incredible people in front of microphones.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I actually thought of our good friends over at the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Hitting Season podcast, John Staliness, Justin Klue, Liz Rocher. Those
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: three individuals, if they were in a booth doing announcing,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: and especially Justin Klue, Oh my god, how entertaining Philly's
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: baseball games would be, regardless of winsor losses.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: One hundred times better yes three, like not even close.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: They'd be fucking hilarious. And they would criticize the team
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: like they like they're supposed to. I do you do
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you know the scientists meet you Kaku?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah?
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: So like he you know here, ever hear him talk
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: about black holes. Yes, and he's so far in the
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: weeds because that's what he does for a living. Yes,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: he's he describes them. And you're just like, all right,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: my man, take it back a notch. I'm I'm not
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: with you anymore. Like Ak Brazinski caught for like fucking
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: seventeen seasons. Yeah, he gets so fixated on a single
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: pitch and you're like, we've moved on. It's baseball. That
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: was five pitches ago. No one fucking cares, dude, Adam
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Waynwright just with the well you should throw you should
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: throw a slider here, like I okay, great, he didn't. Yes,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: what the fuck are we talking about. By the way,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I love Meetrirkaku. The world does a great place that
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: we can have in the palm of our hands. I'm
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: not criticizing the guy.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I love his interviews. I've read no it's really smart, dude.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: But like sometimes he gets like I said, you know, professionally,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: he gets in the weeds, and you're like, dude, you
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: blew past me twenty minutes ago this interview, like this
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: is your thing, it's not my thing, Like, come back,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: come back to my level, and that I know it's
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: about announcers and it's such a cliche on on podcasts,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: but they were partularly shitty. It's really really bad. Why
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: why can local teams not just keep their announcers going
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: yeah into the sea. It makes why Scott Franski not
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: and I know could listen to radio, but it's such
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: a peniastic like fucking sink it up. Yeah, and like
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: it such like like to have my season go down
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the drain with those three assholes in the boot. It's
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: it's you're like at a bad party and like you
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: don't you don't know anybody. There's dickheads there, they're doing
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: push ups and you're just like, why am I here?
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: This is fucking horrible, Like this's is the worst time
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: in my life and you're here on top of it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Oh god, it's Yeah, it was just such a bad experience,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: but in the reminder of like this is what it's
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: like being a Philly.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Sports Yeah, that's what it. Yeah, great way, great way
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to end the segment. You got it. I mean, that's
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a great way to end here.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: That's it. We're done. We're done. We're gonna go to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: break folks, We're gonna go to break and when we
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: uh come back, we're gonna talk a little Sixers prea,

• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Flyer season preview with Kelly Hankle. We got we got
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: positivity coming, folks.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, can I just Kelly Hankle's phenomenal guests interview for
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: the Flyers are young and fun. But I'm so down
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: on all four teams right now. It's just I'm sorry,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: but the other three teams just take strays. That's how
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: this fucking works as a fan. Just I can't. I
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: can't do it any other way.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, if you're new to listening to us
• 26:30

• 26:52
  Speaker 1: on other social media platforms as well. Uh, we're gonna
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be back in just a bit.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: All right, We are back, and we are now going
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to be getting into some Philadelphia seventy six Ers talk,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: some preseason talk. They had their first preseason game recently,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and we specifically wanted to talk about two particular guys,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: new guys to the team and whether or not there's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a chance we're gonna get to see any decent time
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in this coming season for Adam Bona and Gershan Yabuselli.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Are they going to get any real minutes this season
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: with this seventy six Ers team? And I think what
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: was interesting thus far during this very very early preseason
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: was the fact that I don't know, I guess I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: could see Yaboselli receiving a decent amount of minutes. Eric.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: That seems pretty plausible right now because of this first
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: preseason game. Yoboselli actually came in before kJ Martin or
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: even Ricky Counsel, but he wasn't playing the four. He
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: was actually backing up Andre Drummond and playing center. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a couple hours earlier, Nick Nurse had confirmed that he
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: viewed Yaboselli and even kJ Martin as viable choices if
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the team needed to use a small ball five. So
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: we know Embiid is going to be missing a decent
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: amount of games this season even if he does stay healthy,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: so the Sixers need their basically quote third string center
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: to be reliable, and Nurse seems to view Yabaselli possibly,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: it seems at this point as a quality perhaps quality
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: option there. I don't know, I don't know. That's what
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: wanted to get your thoughts on what we're going to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: be seeing from these two guys. I really didn't get
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: into Adam Bona there, but mostly with the Yabaselli.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: With the Abaselli, I mean, he might be a late bloomer.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: He had a cup of coffee in the league for
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit with the Celtics, but like he definitely
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: has improved his game, and as a small ball five
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: who can kind of shoot a little bit, he might
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: come in handy in those small pockets you know, during
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the season, like eight to ten minutes here and there. Yeah,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: per game, where he might actually be pretty kind of
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: kind of valuable. It's hard to have any takeaways when
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: you play the New Zealand Breakers. I'm not sure what
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: that team is from New Zeeland. Pretty much all I know, Yeah,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: but uh nothing, it's the w n B A. I'm
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: not I'm not putting them down, but like they could
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: be pretty much every team in that league could probably
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: be the New Zealand Breakers. Yeah. So it was good
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: though to see. Uh. One big takeaway for me was
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: watching Maxie, who I thought, I know we're going off
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the topic of Yaba selling, but I was kind of
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: struck by he looks healthier, looks bigger, Like he definitely
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: worked on his body and in his passing instincts that
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: during this game. I know that the team they're playing
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: was not great, but he he just gets better every year. Yea,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and he became pretty much a superstar last season and
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: he really showed it against the Knicks and the playoffs.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I really feel like the fit with him and George,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: who's also a really damn good pastor and like a
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: selfless player, and so his embiid kind of like, you know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: he'll get he'll go down low and kind of take
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: over the game, the in the block and kind of
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: take over the lane and clog it a little bit.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: But I kind of I think I'm gonna like the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: mix of those three, and I'm trying so hard to
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: be positive, dude, because my first thought was one of
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Len's other text angry texts earlier was the Phillies. The
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Phillies are going to come back with the same stupid
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: team next year. The Eagles are slowly spiraling, and he
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: said the Sixers are going to do the same ship
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: to do every year. And I was like, I'm gonna
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: ignore that one. Okay, Yeah, I need one team and
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: that and the Sixers of my team obviously, yeh. But
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I was really struck by Maxi's improvement. My only take
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: on Bona is that I think he's going to sell
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: some jerseys in the city because it was last name,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: because it's kind of you know, Boner, And I think
• 30:50

• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean he's a rookie coming in. He
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: played fifteen minutes in his first preseason game, put up
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: five points, four rebounds, two steals. Again, it is a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: preseason game. And and and Boner gave us a or
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: maybe we should just call him Boner. Boner gave us
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: You know, we'd call the commander of the count Let's

• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I really didn't have that much more of it just
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: because they started the preseason, we haven't really seen much.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: But I'm really looking forward to this season. I'm gonna
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: be going on the Dime podcast next week with good
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: friend Josh Rodriguez and and Quab and we're gonna be

  Speaker 1: tuned for that on the Socials and you can check
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: out that interview and discussion. You got anything else here, buddy,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: before we head onto the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Now it's going the next team.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, well I'll tell you yeah, Howie Roseman made made
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: a bang up decision, a great decision in the offseason
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: when he signed linebacker Devin White. My gosh, Devin White
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: just just released this past week exactly thumbs down, Eric,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: just terrible. Probably probably how He's had a few stinkers.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: This is definitely one of them. I guess, I guess
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you can't win them all, Eric, you can't win them all.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: But Devin White no longer on the tea he would
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I mean Jeremiah Trotter junior, who was the uh, who's
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: who's the rookie as we know, I mean he he
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: was further up on the depth chart than than Devin
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: White was.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I mean he was an active this last game.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, like he's been at inactive. Yeah, he just wasn't
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: able to get on the field ankle injury too.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: But still but like against his former team, inactive and
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: on the sideline retweeting ship. Yes, like, dude, get off
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: my fucking team like you and I don't want to
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: bash Howie, but like he's had some misses. Yeah, this
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: is this is a bad one. And it's they had
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: to cut him. I mean after that tweeting thing was
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: just that's a complete disaster. Yeah, and to not even
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: see the field and get you know, get playing time
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: over a rookie, a fifth round rookie. I think Trotter was, Yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: that's that. That's a clear sign of like, get this
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: guy off my team, and uh, it's it's kind of uh,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a signifier of how the season has
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: been going so far defensively. So I no love loss,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: and I think it's funny use the term released almost
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: like a diarrhea flush White, because that's really what happened
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: with him. Like, what's your favorite differ White moment Jeff
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: with the Eagles, Tell me about.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: It, but had none? Yeah, not at all.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Mine was him retweeting shit during a game, like.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, your diarrhea, your diarrhea thing just now.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of chef reactions something he would say.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: He's the greatest. Yeah. If guys, if you want to
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: get off social media, I understand because it's a cess poole,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: but you should stay on for him. He is phenomenal.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: He's the funniest fucking guy making fun of people like
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: doing just making shit food basically. Oh, he's the.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Best chef reactions. If you have not seen him, he
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: is on he's on YouTube, he is on tick, he
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: is on Instagram against chef reactions. I can't believe I'm
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: plugging this guy. He doesn't know me, he doesn't even care. Anyway,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you were talking about the defense. You were talking about
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the we're talking about you know, Devin whitebian crap. Look,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: this Eels defense has been inconsistent at best throughout the
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: four games this season, and team they're coming off the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: bye week here and reports indicate that they're gonna be
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: making a personnel change moving forward, specifically at the slot
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: corner position. Team is expected to have rookie defensive back
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Cooper Degen starting at nickel corner over Avonte Maddox. Maddocks
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: had one decent game. I talked about it on our
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Opposition Territory podcast this past week. But we're gonna see
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: more Cooper Dejen and I do like this. And guess what, Eric,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the kid's gonna struggle. There's gonna be there's gonna be
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: some challenges for this kid coming in. There will be,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: but he's got to get playing time. He's got to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: get on the field. Rookies need to get on the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: field to learn the game and learn the speed of
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: what this league, is he's gonna get a chance to
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: show why you know, in some people's eyes that he
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: should have actually been a first round pick, perhaps with
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: another team. Avante Maddox missing tackles and was even shown
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: talking to Mike Evans about gaming about gaming after getting
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: smoked on multiple plays, Like what is happening with the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: culture of this team here? Nobody gives a shit, but
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: hopefully Cooper Degen does, and hopefully we're actually gonna see
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: some good play from him in development, development from him.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: He needs to be one of these guys in the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: future that starts to develop and we're gonna see him
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Avante Shattucks is what I like to call him.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he shited his pants on that mistackle
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: last week, oh yeah, or two weeks ago. Like that
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: was one of those mistackles where like people are retweeting
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: it left and right. Yeah, like he's a professional football player.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Holy fuck, that was really it was really, really bad.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: And you talk about him struggling, like, I'm sure Cooper
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Degen will struggle, but like, can you struggle worse than it?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Vante's shattucks? At this point, you give the kid a shot,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: like he's actually an athlete. Maybe make a tackle here
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: and there. Yeah, plenty of you have depth. I think,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: make some fucking changes because that that last performance was hideous.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: And I saw the I saw the topics for the show,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, we're closing with the Eagles, and I'm like,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I was hoping to come into the show with the
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Phillies one were going on Friday or Wheel are going
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: on Friday. And the Eagles are like whatever, They're playing
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the Brown who gives a ship? But no, now that's
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: like the one thing we have actually have to hold
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: onto because the Sixers aren't playing yet. The Flyers are
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: kind of like getting there, but like, yeah, man, make
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: any changes you can. And this is a good getting
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: rid of Devin White, flushing Devin White the diarrhea down
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the toilet and and and getting shattucks off the fucking
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: like off the field. Like that's a good that's a
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: good move. Like that's like, like, as a fan, actually
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: feel like, okay, you you you recognize that you suck
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: at those two positions right now. The two players are shit,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: so move on from them. I'll give the Eagles credit
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm gonna say this too. They they absolutely
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: have to win this game. They are playing against the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: worst quarterback in the NFL and Deshaun Watson at this point,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: this guy is horrible again, folks, I was talking about
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: it on our Opposition Territory podcast this past week. Go
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: back on the feed, check it out. The Eagles defense
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: should be able to penetrate that Brown's offensive line. We
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: actually should get some sacks this week. I think I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: feel like we have like three sacks on the season,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: even though I know it's a little bit more than that,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: but seven. There you go.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: But I remember one of the few things I remember
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: from the post game was me bashing the defensive line
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: for lamp in seven sacks.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, yep, so it should be a win.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: It should be a win, Eric, it should be Then again,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you know, we thought this team was probably we thought
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: this team was likely going to be four and oh.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, or at least three and one.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: At least three and one.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: I thought three and one. I thought the Green Bay
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: was lot. I thought they lose the Packers and like
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: go Green one into Dubai.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's been weird, disappointing, the lack of
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: a pass rush after their bye week here, it's it's
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: a must wing game for them. A. J. Brown, Davante Smith,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and Lane Johnson are all set to return. That is
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that's going to help out the offense tremendously as we know.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what, buddy, what's your predictions for
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: this game here in terms of what you're you think
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: we're going to see and then and then the score.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts here?
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: You have a really bad Browns team coming into town. Uh,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: even there, their defense is pretty damn good and uh,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: they they got killed last week that even the defense,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: like we played poorly and that was one kind of
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: that that's the one thing they have. Deshaun Watson is
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: a bad quarterback and even worse person. So it's good
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: to see that kind of come into fruition. And they
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: have no offensive weapons at all. They're just they're just
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: sad to watch watching the Phillies in the postseason. I
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: can imagine being a fucking Browns fan. We just talk
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: about Cleveland not having the teams. Imagine cheering for this
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: fucking team where the coach is castrated, like I'm sure
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: he wants to bench Deshaun Watson with all of his
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: heart because he's actually a good coach. He really is
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Stan his name is Stefanski. Yeah, yeah, really good coach,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: a two time Coach of the Year. I'm sure he
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: wants to bench that guy. But the ownership is like,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: we're paying Hi two and fifty million dollars, you're not
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: benching eMac. Which that's going to come to a head eventually,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: And but what that does for the Eagles, unfortunately, is
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: like puts a lot of pressure on them, not the
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: players themselves, but like the ownership and the and the coaches,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Like if they lose this game, and sirianni as a
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: shit show once again, just poor decision making, Like if
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: you lose this game at home after the bye, that
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: conversation has to start. You cannot lose this game, Like
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: even Siriani has to be like, I if I lose
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: this game, I'm fucking gone. I'm in deep shit. So
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I do think they're gonna win. They have, they have
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: their best players coming back, they look totally stack coming
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: out of the out of the bye, they're healthy, and
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: they're playing a team that's just kind of on the ropes.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: They should win. I think they're gonna win. I think
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: they're gonna win something like twenty four to fourteen.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: But the.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Pessimism in me right now from the Phillies, I'm kind
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: of like on edge, like if they, like I said,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: if they lose this game, things mic go south fast
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: for the for the for the front office, for the coaches.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually I think the score is going to
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: be twenty seven to thirteen Eagles. That's that's my scoring prediction.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: And I do think we're going to see some improved
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: defensive play. We saw some real good play against the Saints.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: The Saints were a high powered offense the first two
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Eagles quelled them. And of course
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: we know they did not show up last week against
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But the fact that they showed up against
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the Saints on the road, and it's showing us a
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: little something. It's showing us a little something that there
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: is the talent there. It just needs to come together.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: And like I said again on the Opposition Territory podcast,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: these guys need to make tackles. These guys need to
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: make tackles. It's the fundamentals of football. It sounds ridiculous,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: but you make tackles, you're not gonna allow third down conversions?
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: You selling Adam Wayne Ray right now?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: There you go, I do I sound like a douche
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: there you go.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: To make tackles, man, you know what, let's take a
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: w and Aga Brazinski in the booth for the Eagles
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Browns game this weekend and let's just let him go off. Great.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Ye Eagles should score some points here. I agree exactly.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: They need to make some tackles.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: You know, if they sat at the quarterback, it's there
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: to their advantage. Yeah, thanks, these guys. Fort No, you're right,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: like they really should take care of this team. Like
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: if there's a like a dog that needs to be
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: like old Yellard right right now, like they really should
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: be taken on the back and just taken out. And uh,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: the Eagle should be the team that does it. That's why.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: That's why in me, I'm just like, oh God, if
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: they fuck this game up, holy skit, man, the Phillies
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: just lost. The Eagles lose to the Browns after a
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: bye week.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: The city is going to burn to the ground.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, I was.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I was there Saturday all day long, me and the
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: whole family and they you know, the Phillies game one
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: you know, the whole city. That's all they that's all
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: they cared about. And man they were I lived there
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: for years. I know what it's like. Everyone's so high.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: But as soon as things go south, man, that team
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: that that city turns dark. Yeah, it really does. Like
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: the when when the game starts like four or five
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: o'clock and starts to get dark and they lose abound
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: eight o'clock, nine o'clock, you start to see dudes falling
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: down in the street. You start to see guys just
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: walking up the other dudes going what the fuck? Man,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Like all they that's all they can handle it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: And I can just see like if the Eagles somehow
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: lose that game, things could really go south in the
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: entire city.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: The entire world.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm really hoping things go well on Sunday.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: So all right, great, Wait, in this first part of
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: the show, we are going to be getting to our
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Flyers season preview. That's right, Philadelphia Flyers. They open
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: up their season Friday night. They got four away games.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be having their home opener I

• 45:11
  Speaker 2: part of it. So that's true. That's NHL scheduling.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, I know what the four road games
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: to start the season, it's it's it's fucking enraging, it
• 45:21

• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Let's just play every game on the road this year.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: But we're just not gonna super home game like what

• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says. It's gonna be fun
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: watching this team throughout the twenty twenty four twenty twenty
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: five season. We have from Broadstreet Hockey dot Com, one
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: of our favorite Flyers hockey sites out there. We got
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the one and only, the one who runs it all,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Miss Kelly Hinkle. How you doing, Kelly?
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: I'm great, Jeff, how are you doing?
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great because the season is almost here. Like
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: we know, it was a slower off season, you know,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: I mean there were some certainly some storylines for sure
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: that we all talked about. You know, we're just clamoring
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: for where the rebuild is gonna go next. We're clamoring
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: for some regular season hockey here. But I mean I'm
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about where this organization is heading here
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: at this point. I'm assuming you're feeling pretty good too.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I've heard you on the air waves, you know, the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: internet waves. I should say, I think we're all feeling
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: a little good.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: MP. Actually, I'm excited about I mean, I'm always excited,
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: but this this season feels a little bit more.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: It does, It does, It absolutely does. It's gonna be
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: bizarre seeing the Flyers two most recent first round picks
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: making their NHL debuts mattve Mitchikoff, Jet Luchenko, and with
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Luchenko he'll be the youngest Flyer ever to play on
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the ice at just eighteen years of age. It's freaking
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: bonkers to me at this point where this organization, where
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: this team is heading, Kelly, I'm wondering, like, what kind
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: of vibes are you hoping the fan base itself kind
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: of gives off at the start of this season, knowing
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: how special of a moment and even a season this
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: really is for the organization and for these two very
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: young players who are already being looked at as possible saviors,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you know, to this Flyers organization, What are your thoughts here?
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: So I think that I think we're going to be
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: on very good behavior, Jeff. I've been saying for years
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: that like all Flyers fans need because like has Intro
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: d waned, Yes, that has it seemed like people don't
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: care as much. Yes, But Flyers fans are special because
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: they never really let go right right, Like they're not
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: they're not really casual, right they might kind of back
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: off a little bit because the team's that good. I've
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: been saying forever all they need is something to get
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: excited about, and they have given us something to be.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: Very excited about.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, and if like I went to a practice for
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: the first time in a long time, overflow parking across
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: the street, people directing traffic like it was wild.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: And so I think that people are legitimately excited. And
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: I think that the opening night game is going to
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: be packed, and I think that I think that we're
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: going to be I think we're going to give Matvey
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Mitchkoff especially like a really really good welcome to this organization.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: I think people are very excited, and I think they
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: have reason to be.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, they have reason to be. And you know what,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I wasn't planning on bringing this aspect up of this
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: team and organization, Kelly, But something I got to give
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: credit to the organization and to the fan base is
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: one word, and it's resiliency. Resiliency after the Carter Heart
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: situation and the fact that any situation like that would
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: have taken an organization completely down, but we had a
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: vision coming from this new front office with Danny Briere.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: We had the fact that honesty was coming from the
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: organization saying we need a rebuild. And I think that
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: perpetuated so much momentum for what the future could be
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: that the Carter heart awfulness and terribleness of what it
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: was was kind of negated in a way. You know,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: we really haven't been talking about him any other organization,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: it'd be all, oh my gosh, the goaltender of the
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: future is not here. What are we going to do now?
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: What are the future drafts going to look like? And
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, the resiliency of this fan base and
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: ultimately the organization there definitely is some credit where it
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: needs to go around here.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't think Dany Breer is getting
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: enough credit for the fact that Yes is here. I mean, like,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: I think people are kind of just acting like.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: It just happened.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And like I assume that there was a fair
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: amount of work that had to.
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: Go in supposed to be behind two years exactly.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: I would imagine there was a fair amount of work
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: that had to go into getting him over here early.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: And that really covers up a lot of sins. I
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: guess when you get somebody that excited over here.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, folks, when you hear that stuff in the background.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Kelly's in an airport right now, bless her. Soul coming
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: on the PST podcast show as she is traveling here.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: It's hilarious you hear the announce.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: Sorry, oh, I think it's great.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: I'm like, every time it's like quiet, and every time
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: I start talking you guys on the thing, I'm like,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: come on, I love with me here.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Look, you know, while it was a fun off season
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: following you know, the Mitchikov saga and the fact that
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: he's now here in North America or whether it was
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: you know, watching some of the key players during the
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: off season do their thing, we're looking at development. I
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: think the one thing this Flyers organization didn't do, however,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: this off season was really address their center depth, which
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: we all know it's been a storyline here. You know,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: You've got Coots, Frost, Lawton polling four main centers on
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: this team. And now with jet Luchenko now that he
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: has made the roster and may continue to be here
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future, we'll have to see if he
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: actually does play ten games here in the NHL, you know,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: do that entry level contractor maybe it's nine games. I'm
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: forgetting off the top of my head, but I'm wondering
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: do you think the organization could have done a better
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: job at bringing in some depth that's centered during this offseason.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe why or why not?
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: It probably would have been nice if they have been
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: able to pull off the trade for another center. But
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone expected Luchenko, who literally just turned eighteen,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: like he is an actual child. Like I don't really
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: think anyone expected him to come in and look as
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: good as he did. And I know that like in
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: the games, in the preseason games, he wasn't like one
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: of the best players on the ice, but it he
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: looked like he belonged in the NHL, you know what
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, which I don't. I don't think that you
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: expect from a seventeen year old, So I do have
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: to give them credit for I think under normal circumstances,
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: you would probably just always send that kid back too
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: to the juniors because he's so young, and you're like, well,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: why not give him another year? But I think it's
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: to the organization's credit that they're kind of being a
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: little bit creative and giving him at least these nine
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: games to see if he can make some some action
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: happen in the NHL. And it's it's you know it's
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: possible that he does, and if he does, then suddenly
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: we have three centers that aren't so bad.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: So long as Sean Katurier, can you know, keep it together.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I worry about it if it doesn't work out,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: like what it might do to his confidence. And I
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: know folks have talked about that as well. You know,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: we know hockey players and their confidence. I don't know,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: you're not You're not concerned about that.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: No, I think that like, if you're that fragile of
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: a person, something else is going to do it to
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: you anyway.
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: And I could.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: I feel confident, like I have my parrels with John Tortorella,
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: but I feel confident enough that if he thought that
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: keeping him up here for nine games and then sending
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: him back would be detrimental, I don't think he would
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: want to do it, right, So I'm assuming that he
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: sees something in this kid that makes him think like, okay,
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: well if we do have to send him back down,
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: it'll be fine.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, I'm not terribly.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: You're not concerned about it about that? Okay, all right,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: sounds good.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: But do you remember being seventeen?
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: I don't, but I would imagine that nothing really bothered
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: me when I was it'll be fine.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct, you know, being in high school, you know,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: just getting through the days, getting through your high school work.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I was, I was playing varsity tennis, trying to you know,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: trying to get better at tennis. My gosh, Yeah, seventeen
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: wasn't that bad. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, that's.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Good for you. I don't think I liked it very much.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: No, you didn't like seventeen too much.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: Now, I was a disaster in high school. So I peaked.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: I peaked.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: You peek late, I mean questionable if I've peeked, Oh
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: you've peeced.
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: Oh maybe, But yeah, it definitely wasn't high.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: School for right. Well, move it along here with our
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Flyer season preview as we can looking toward this regular season.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Some folks may be listening to this as the regular
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: season has started, but still very relevant. It's two part
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: question about what you, Kelly, are going to dislike with
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the Flyers right out of the gate and what you're
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: really gonna like with this team as well. So let's
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: start off with what you're gonna dislike with this Flyers
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: team right out of the gate. So we just know
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: and understand, you know, there are gonna be some things
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: that aren't gonna be perfect. What do you think you're
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: going to be disliking right out.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: Of the gate, Know that I'm going to outlate dislike anything, Okay,
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: I mean unless you know, we get a couple of
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: games in and there's some aspect of this team that
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: like very obviously sucks.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: But one thing I'm worried about is I'm not sold
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: on Ivan Fidotos. I'm with you, Yeah, I think that
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: he has looked shaky, like he's you know, he's made saves.
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: He hasn't been like a disaster. He's not you know,
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: Cal Peterson, but.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: He never has looked he's never looked good to me,
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: like he just looks very shape, And so I worry
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: that if he's not good enough to take enough of
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: these games from sam Erson, then what happens then?
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: Because I feel like, if anything's going to do Reul,
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: this team is going to be the goaltender. Yeah.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: So that's that's the thing that I think I'm most
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: nervous about, and on the other side of that coin,
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: the most excited to see what it actually looks like.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: So hopefully he turns out to be good, and then
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: maybe if he doesn't, maybe Kolosoff gets a look at
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: the NHL.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, but it's interesting. I was listening.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: It was interesting. I was listening to you on another
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: podcast recently, and you were all talking about what if.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: What if the Flyers next season in twenty twenty five
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: have like nine million dollars wrapped up in their goalies.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: That's a possibility.
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: It would be extremely Flyers.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: It would be it would be extremely Flyers. Yeah.
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: And the thing that I'm obviously most excited about is
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: not very mitchcoughichough. I keep I keep saying Mitch coofugh.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: I have to train myself to say meach cough because
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: JJ says meatchcough.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: I've been saying, definitely Meachkoff.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So right out of the game, this is
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: what you like. This is what you're liking right out
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: of the gate is Beachikoff.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: He has looked so good in every single game that
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: I've seen him play that I like. I honestly don't
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: know how to act. The other day, in that preseason
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: game that he won an overtime, I was saying on
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: one of the broad Street Hockey podcasts that when his
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: when he that puck got onto his stick and he
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: was skating into the zone and overtime, I knew it
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: was going in.
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: I knew it. I had no doubt in my mind.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: And I can't remember the last time I have felt
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: that confident in a Flyers player ability to score a goal.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: Like he's just so good. It's really hard not to
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: get excited.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: It's interesting to reflect on, you know, Lennon and I
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: last week we talked on the show about how it
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: seems as though his play on the ice it or
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: how he's going to be able to elevate other players
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: around him, not just this year, but in the years
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: to come. Where I mean the last time we really
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: saw that was like with Eric Lindross. I mean, he
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: was able to elevate those lines that he.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Knows legitimately, you know, legitimately. I think that that he's
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: the most exciting player since Sarah.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Exactly, and and how he's going to be able to
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: elevate players, I'm already seeing it in the freaking preseason,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: for God's sake, you know, And I'm like, I'm trying
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: to temper expectations with this. I really am, But.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: Again I'm not temping. I'm going all the way.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: This is Flyers Nation, right, Yeah, we got to go
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: full speed ahead here. Well, I mean there are always
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: surprises during the hockey season with players, players and coaches,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: their relationships and and what management does as well. And
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering, you know, what are you banking on as
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: one of the most underrated storylines of the Philadelphia Flyers
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: upcoming season in terms of player a specific player or players,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: the management overall. What do we need to keep our
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: eyes on as that kind of that one underrated storyline
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: that you're really going to be honing in on.
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: So I think that.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: It's going to be interesting to see what Bradshaw can
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: get out of this defense, Yeah, because I think on
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: paper people are a little bit worried about it and
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: think it might be a little bit shaky. But with
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: like Rasmus Rista, Linen looked great before he got hurt,
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: He's looked pretty good in the preseason, and he was
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: a disaster when he got here, and Bradshaw seems to
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: have turned him into a serviceable NHL defenceman. Yeah.
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: So, given how.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Important Jamie Drysdale is to this whole thing, and given
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: the fact that he was hurt the entire time he
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: was here last season, getting to see what his development
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: looks like under a guy that seems to be as
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: much of a magician as Bradshaw. I'm really excited to
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: see what that looks like. And then also I'm interested
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: to see if John Tortorolla was serious when he said
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: that he wasn't going to make meach Coughs do anything
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: away from the puck, like he wasn't going to try
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: to turn him into.
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: Did you see that quote?
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm interested to see if he really is going
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: to allow him to just do what he does and
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: not try to like two hundred foot player, right, nonsense him.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: That would be very un John Tortorella alike in a
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: lot of ways.
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: Right when he said it, I was like, yeah, oh yeah,
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: all right.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: I mean to be fair, he kind of did it
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: with narn so I do think he's capable. But it'll
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: be interesting to see, like what kind of leash Miechkov gets,
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: because of course he's going to make mistakes, absolutely kids,
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: so things are going to happen, right, So I'm interested
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: to see like what kind of leash he gets in
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: compared to like you know, Morgan Frost who has no
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: leash whatsoever, So that kind of stuff is always interesting.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, the underrated storyline, and it hasn't been
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: getting I think as much attention because of Meechkov and
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: because of even Luchenko and what we have seen from
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: them in those expectations. But really is Jamie Drysdale and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: him taking next steps forward, him developing even more because
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: I think the talent is there, we just haven't seen it,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: and you know, the injury bug is there as we know,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: we're gonna need to see more from Jamie Drysdale this year.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: We really are, And I think that's an underrated storyline.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: Kelly, I think you're right.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if people I mean, I think people
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: like us probably are, but I'm not sure how how
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: much casual fans are realizing, like just how important it
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: is that he turns out to be good, Like it's
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: really really important.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: So hopefully we got.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Something absolutely all right, Well, this team was really good
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: last year with regard to the penalty kill. I think
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: there were number four maybe overall in the NHL last year.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken yet, we know not so good
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the power play. They finished with
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: a twelve point two percent success rate last season. I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on both of these aspects
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: of the Flyers game here. What are your thoughts on
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: whether or not the penalty kill can prove even more
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: perhaps this season? Can they be like around the top
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: penalty kill team in the NHL.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: So again, Bradshaw seems to be a magician, so maybe
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: it could get better. One thing I would like to see,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: and I don't know that they'll do this just because
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: it was so good last year, like they're probably I'm
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: sure the thought process is, why would we change anything?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: It was really good.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: But I would like to see them do stuff like
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: put Owen Tippett on the penalty kill and have him
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: as a threat out there to grab the puck from
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: somebody and skate as fast as he can down the ice.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and score shorty, you know what I mean.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: Like that kind of stuff would be fun.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: It seems like the power kill that they were doing
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: at the start of last season kind of waned towards
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: the end of the season. I kind of like to
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: see I would like to see them bring that back,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: just because it's really fun. Yeah, So if they bring
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: that style penalty kill back. I think the improvement we
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: would see would just be more shorties, which is awesome.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: The power play, yeah.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what are your thoughts with the power play here?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: It certainly can't get worse, so only only up from here?
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: One would think, as we say on this show, with
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: various teams and various players, you can't fall out of
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: a basement window.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: So I would imagine with meechkough like, we're going to
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: see some fun stuff on the power play. If they
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: can't improve the plower play with that kid on it,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's happening, then there's some there's some
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: kind of curse.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: On the team.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: If that's the case, it has to be better. So
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of hoping we did see them do some
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: like creative stuff. You know, Bill and I on PHLI
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: are always shouting about running everything from below the goal line.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: Put somebody behind the net the goalie can't see them,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: that's good, like, and they did that a few times
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: in pre season. But I think I saw Connecting back
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: there and Miechkoff's gone back there a few times running
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: stuff from behind the net.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: That's awesome, it is.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: I hope they do more of that, because it seems
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: like such a logical strategy to me.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know why teams don't do it more.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: Exactly, the power Player I'm not worried about, only because literally, like,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: how could it possibly get worse?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Twelve point two percent success rate? Jesus, can we get
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: to twenty? Maybe? Exactly? That'd be great, that'd be great.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Oh man, again, folks are talking to Kelly Hinkel from
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Broadstreet Hockey dot Com. Give her a follow on the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Twitter slash x at hanks hi n x. She's a great,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: great follow. I think your account might be private though, So, folks,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: I mean you have to ask me. Yeah, you got
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: to ask her. Okay, if you're if you're a decent
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Flyers fan and a decent human being, she may accept
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: the follow. Okay. So I'm lucky. I'm very fortunate. I'm
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: part of the tribe. It's debatable, exactly, it's debatable. Oh boy. Well,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: to close us out here, Kelly, I have a few
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: friends of mine who are Flyers fans. I wanted to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: bounce this off of you, and my gosh, they're telling
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: me they like the rebuild and we still need to
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: be patient with this team. And then I have some
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: other friends who actually told me this past week that
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: they're expecting the Flyers to get to the second round
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs this season or it's like and I
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, And I was like kind
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: of raise my eyebrow at that one. I'm like, wow,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: So let's get let's get out the crystal ball that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: that you have. I know you have the crystal ball
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: with you there in the airport, and we'll talk about
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the likely scenario for this Flyers team
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: when it's mid April twenty twenty five, when that rolls around.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Where do you think this team is going to be?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: With the one caveat that this depends on the goaltending
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: not being an abject disaster.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: I believe this is a playoff team.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: All right, wow second round of the playoffs as well.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: It would depend on who they get.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Possible possible maybe Okay, I.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: Mean let's say let's say the goaltending is like lights out, Yeah,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: that could happen, and that's the case, Like who knows what,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like I feel like whenever
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: I look at whenever I see you know, like a
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: graphic of this team's lines and defense pairings, like the
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: goaltending again a little little suss, a little questionable. Not
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: sure where we are there. But when I look at
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: the front half of this team, I'm like, that's a
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: good hockey team. Like I don't know what to tell you, like,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: that's that's a good hockey team. And I think that
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: if they just play to their ability, like I don't
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: even know if they need to play over their heads
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: like they like last season arguably they played over their heads.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: I don't even know if they need to do that
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: like they might, they might just be good. And I
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: really think with the metro the way that it is,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: they could absolutely, yeah, get into the playoffs. Like I'm
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: I'm banking on it.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Really, Oh man, I love it. I love it. It'd
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: be fantastic. Well, the security guard is right next to
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: you right now, right, I better go right.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: I thought this was going to be the quiet corner.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: I saw the security card behind you folks as were
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: on zoom here, and I'm like, oh my gosh, it's
• 1:05:48
