- 0:07things may have changed here and there, but we hope you enjoyed the discussion
- 0:10and show. All right, folks, welcome to Table Talk here at the
- 0:28Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show, the longest running weekly Philly sports podcast show in
- 0:32the world. That's right over ten years strong. We got a great discussion
- 0:35coming your way this week on Table Talk. Absolutely love talking to our guest
- 0:40whenever she's able to come on. It is a pleasure to have her join
- 0:45us this week to get into this Philadelphia Phillies team what we've been seeing from
- 0:49them as we really look toward the postseason, but specifically more from an offensive
- 0:54standpoint. What are we seeing from this team from an offensive standpoint. We're
- 0:58gonna get into that discussion right now. It's gonna be a great one.
- 1:00It's great to have her back on the show. As I just mentioned,
- 1:04coming to us from Phillies Nation dot com. We love Phillies Nation. We
- 1:08love the content that they are consistently putting up over there. We have the
- 1:12one and only Destiny Legardo, Destiny how you doing it? Thanks for jumping
- 1:15on doing good, Jeff, how are you? It's an exciting time in
- 1:19Phillies, Lan, Oh my gosh, it's great. Like I just we're
- 1:22gonna get to some offensive talk here. You know, there's a lot of
- 1:25good stuff happening with this team, and really quick folks follow Destiny on the
- 1:29Twitter dot com and no, we are not calling it x. I don't
- 1:32care what anybody says. We're not calling it x Twitter dot com at Destiny
- 1:37Underscore Legardo. She is a great, great follow always very entertaining and just
- 1:41a ton and plethora of actually of Phillies news and notes that you're gonna get
- 1:46from her on Twitter. So Destiny, let's get right into this Phillies team.
- 1:49They want a huge series against the Giants this past week and that was
- 1:53that was a series I thought really could have gone either way for this team.
- 1:57So, like, reflecting on that series, you know, what do
- 2:00you think it meant for this Phillies team as we're really heading into this final
- 2:05stretch of the season from a momentum perspective, Yeah, I mean this was
- 2:08built as a possible wildcard playoff matchup, and I think if you're the Phillies.
- 2:14Obviously, Bryce Harper said it best the other night. They let a
- 2:16Game three get away from them. But if this is a playoff series,
- 2:21it's not a Game three, And I think they match up really well against
- 2:24the Giants. And even though they did lose that Game three, they had
- 2:29an actual starting pitcher on the mount and they needed nine other pictures to get
- 2:32through the Phillies lineup and closed out that game an extra inning. So I
- 2:38do think if there's a possibility the Phillies and Giants matchup at Citizens Bank Park,
- 2:42I think this is a really good matchup. Obviously, we've seen that
- 2:46Oracle Park whatever they call it right now. It's just not a great place
- 2:49for the Phillies to play. So the hope is that the Phillies continue to
- 2:52keep racking up series win then they don't have to worry about going on the
- 2:54road for the wildcard series. But I do think they match up really well
- 2:58against this Giants team. If the Giants could get through their really tough schedule
- 3:01and make it to the playoffs and be a two seed, yeah, Destiny.
- 3:05Like I'm at a point where I'm like so excited, I can't believe
- 3:07we're actually thinking about the postseason in terms of, you know where we're at
- 3:12right now. I mean it's it's only the end of August, beginning of
- 3:15September. We have around the corner here, and it's like we're actually thinking
- 3:19about this postseason as though it's going to be a given, you know,
- 3:23Like it's it's really bizarre to think in those terms. Yeah, maybe we
- 3:27have our hopes up a little bit. Their playoff odds are around eighty two
- 3:30percent. I think that's a pretty good spot to be in. But I
- 3:32do think that's an indication of just how good this Phillies team is and how
- 3:37weak the National League is. I do think it's a bit top heavy,
- 3:40with the Dodgers having another crazy season, the Atlanta Brave just being far out
- 3:46the best team in the Major League. So yeah, I think there's a
- 3:50lot of reasons to be optimistic. Obviously, it comes down to the Phillies
- 3:54not shooting themselves in the foot in September, and I do think they have
- 3:59a favor will schedule. We could talk about that a little more later.
- 4:02Yeah, I think it's more about just the Phillies not beating themselves and we
- 4:06could start thinking about playoff scenarios and who they could play and how they could
- 4:11deploy a certain matchups. So it's a very good spot to be in.
- 4:15They have a very you know, Cardinals Angels. The next six games,
- 4:18they should take care of business. Yeah, they should. They should absolutely
- 4:21take care of business. And there's one guy that I want to talk to
- 4:24you about, excuse me, who has really been taking care of some business.
- 4:29And I'm gonna get your thoughts on Bryce Harper at this point in the
- 4:30season. You know, his power stroke definitely seems to be back. We've
- 4:35been seeing some incredible power coming from him and during some key moments in a
- 4:42bunch of games as of late as well. I mean, his inside the
- 4:45park home run last week was one of the most amazing things that I've seen
- 4:47all season from an offensive perspective. So, what are your thoughts here on
- 4:53Bryce Harper his performance and you know, what they're going to need from him
- 4:57down the stretch, Like what is logically going to be expected from him as
- 5:01they're you know, looking toward this postseason. Yeah, it's just an absolute
- 5:04pleasure these last five years watching Bryce Harper, especially what he's in these power
- 5:10streaks. I was a little bit worried this year that it was just never
- 5:14going to come him because Tommy John surgery. Even though he hits left handed
- 5:18and throws right hand, it's still hard to do right. He's also learning
- 5:21a new position. There's a lot of things on his plate. So I
- 5:26kind of expected, not expected, but I thought that Harper would just kind
- 5:29of be an okay hitter as far as you know what to expect from him.
- 5:32But it's really it's nice to see him hit the way he is,
- 5:38and I think he's hitting the ball a lot harder, he's elevating the ball,
- 5:41he has a his feel for the strike zone is really there. And
- 5:46when he's when he's like that, he's one of the best hitters in the
- 5:48game. So I think that's what we're seeing from him right now. I
- 5:53don't expect him to be on this kind of terror for the rest of the
- 5:56year. He would kind of hope that he would save a little bit for
- 5:58October. The way he's going right now, Yes, but what has been
- 6:02consistent with Harper is that he's been very good in late and close games,
- 6:08And like I said, it's it's it's great to see as far as from
- 6:12a fan perspective, just a player coming up to the big spot and always
- 6:15coming through. I think we love that as Philadelphia fans. So it's a
- 6:20really great sign because, you know, Bryce Harper is like the the guy
- 6:25that you really want if you want to win a World Series and you want
- 6:28a guy that just goes on a tear in the postseason, Bryce Harper is
- 6:30that guy. So it's really encouraging that we're starting to see a little bit
- 6:33of that in the regular season. I am at a point where it's like,
- 6:39if this team weren't to have Bryce Harper on the team, I would
- 6:43honestly believe that just about everything could potentially fall apart from an offensive standpoint,
- 6:47and and and maybe that's maybe that's being too you know, over the top,
- 6:50but that's what I'm feeling from Bryce Harper at this point. What he's
- 6:55been able to give this team in terms of his offense, in terms of
- 6:57his power, just you know, even even his presence on the field and
- 7:02the dugout. It's it's really incredible how this one guy has completely transformed this
- 7:08Phillies team over the years. I mean, in the five years that he
- 7:11has been here, what he has meant to this team, the organization into
- 7:15the city of Philadelphia too, Destiny, Like it's it really, I don't
- 7:19know. I have a heavy heart, you know when it cut when it
- 7:21comes to Bryce Harper these days. If you take all the stuff that he's
- 7:26done on the field, I mean, he's been an absolute superstar, and
- 7:29I've I've just been pleasantly surprised of the superstar he is off the field and
- 7:32just how much he's embraced being a Philadelphia and the fans and everything about this
- 7:39city. It's like he says the right thing every single time. Maybe he
- 7:43was coached really well by somebody, maybe it's really it's maybe it's genuine,
- 7:47maybe it's both, but this is a guy that everybody has fallen in love
- 7:51with, kind of like Jalen Hurts. Yep, it's like it's Jalen Hurts
- 7:56and Bryce Harper. That's who the city has their their hearts with this.
- 8:00Yeah, but yeah, it's a it's a pleasant pleasure to watch. Yeah,
- 8:03it really is. Well, let's talk about another gentleman who we actually
- 8:05talked about on the podcast this past week actually, and I've been thinking about
- 8:11him a lot more, and that is JT. Real Muto and just what
- 8:13his season has been for himself and just from an offensive standpoint, I mean,
- 8:18it's just it's been a tough year for what JT. Real Muto has
- 8:22given us during the course of his tenure as a Philadelphia Philly. So I'm
- 8:28wondering what are your thoughts on what we wont have seen from him in the
- 8:31batter's box? And two, I mean, are you concerned about his productivity
- 8:35as this team is you know, looking at that at that wild card spot
- 8:39and a postseason run. Here, I mean, should JT. Real Muto
- 8:43be a topic of conversation more in terms of where he's at in his career
- 8:46if he is on the down slide? What are your thoughts here? Yeah,
- 8:50I do think we should be talking about this more. And a lot
- 8:52of that has to do with Trey Turner and his struggles, and a lot
- 8:56of attention was on that point has been. Yeah, JT hasn't been struggling
- 9:01as much as Trey Turner, but it just hasn't been the same season for
- 9:05him. And you know, over these last few years we talked a lot
- 9:07of Valbreys Hoskins and Kyle Schoerber being very streety hitters. Will JT Room Muto
- 9:13is that too. They're you know, hit for the cycle and just going
- 9:16to tear for one series and then he would be really quiet for the next
- 9:20series. Yeah, I think it has a lot to do. Like he's
- 9:24he's not hitting a lot of balls that are in on him, and he's
- 9:26also chasing outside the zone and it's it's a glaring problem because he's hitting at
- 9:31this part of the lineup where there's going to be runners on and you know,
- 9:35just like the Giants game, he had a chance to win the game
- 9:37and he struck out and the at bat wasn't very pretty. He's such as
- 9:43it's it's so weird because I do think he should be a more consistent hitter,
- 9:48but it's just like the production comes in streaks and maybe hope kind of
- 9:52like with some other guys that the big hot streak is in October that's where
- 9:56it really matters. But yeah, and JT's like a guy that has a
- 10:01really big leg kick and it always seems like timing is a problem. So
- 10:05I know the numbers aren't as bad as it seems like. His ops plus
- 10:09is like one oh seven one h nine, which is like nine percent better
- 10:13than the average. So that's that's pretty good for a catcher, but it's
- 10:16pretty disappointing for JT. Yeah, I was gonna say not the batting average
- 10:22is anything, but he's got like his lowest batting average in the past ten
- 10:26years since his rookie on base percentage is down. I think what's even more
- 10:31concerning, you know, outside of his struggles at the plate, he's just
- 10:33not the same guy behind the plate. Yeah. I know. A lot
- 10:37that has to do with controlling the wrong game is how quick the pitchers are
- 10:41at home play and the Phillies like don't help him in that regard. Yeah,
- 10:45much at all, But it just hasn't He hasn't been the quote unquote
- 10:50best catcher in baseball. Yeah, and that's okay, Like that wasn't going
- 10:52to He wasn't going to be the best catcher in baseball for the five years
- 10:58for the entire duration of his time track. So but yeah, I am
- 11:03a little worried about JT. And it's a little weird because last year he
- 11:07started out very slowly at the plate and then he was one of the best
- 11:09hitters in baseball in the second half, and we were hoping that we would
- 11:13get some sort of you know, bounce back the way it was last year.
- 11:16But that just hasn't happened yet. Yeah, hasn't happened. Let's hold
- 11:20out hope for September in the postseason that we're going to see some good stuff
- 11:22from JT. Real Muto. So as we're moving along here, Destiny,
- 11:26you know, when looking at the Philly strictly from an offensive perspective, going
- 11:31to do this exercise with you, and I love I love doing these every
- 11:35now and again, these categories. I'm gonna give you a few categories,
- 11:37and I'd like for you to give me a player who you're thinking of and
- 11:41why you're thinking of that player. So let's just straight up talk about the
- 11:45most improved Philadelphia Philly this season, thus far from an offensive perspective, Like
- 11:50who would that be in your opinion and why Yeah, there's a lot of
- 11:56guys you could choose from, especially a lot of the younger players. I
- 12:00might go a little bit out of the box. I don't know if this
- 12:03is cheating or not, just because he's he was called up in July,
- 12:07but Johann Rojas, like I like zero expectations for what he could be at
- 12:13the plate, Like we all knew if he was going to come up here,
- 12:15he was going to play incredible defense, and that's very valuable. I
- 12:20think the Phillies kind of just like they crunched the numbers on like is it
- 12:24worth it just to have Rojas and center as opposed to trading for another right
- 12:28fielder. I think they they were intrigued of the idea of just letting him
- 12:33hit and then also letting him play center field. But I've been impressed with
- 12:37some of the takes he's had, some of the at bats he's had late
- 12:41in games, especially. I remember in the Pittsburgh series that at bad against
- 12:45David Bednar and the basse hit he had. He's made some adjustments this year,
- 12:50and I think they're paying off. Like I don't know if Johan Rojas
- 12:54is a guy that'll kind of teeter off a little bit this year, but
- 12:58I've so far been real impressed with what I've seen so far. A kind
- 13:01of love. Yeah, you can love Christian Posh into that too. We
- 13:05didn't have any expectations for him, and then he started working with Kevin Long
- 13:09and he dramatically improved. Yeah, I like it a lot. Most improved
- 13:13Philly. Well, who do you think, you know, moving along here,
- 13:16who is the most underrated Philadelphia Philly at this point in the season.
- 13:20What are your thoughts. I don't think we're talking enough about the season Brandon
- 13:26Marsh is having. And I like it. As far as numbers go,
- 13:30I know it can come. Like we talked about what jat and streaks.
- 13:33He was very hot in April and then he cooled down a little bit,
- 13:37and then he gets hot again. But he's been consistently giving the Phillies really
- 13:41good at bats in the bottom of the order, and I think that's especially
- 13:45important important for a team like the Phillies who have Kyle Schwarber leaning off and
- 13:48they need runners on base from the bottom of the order and they need Kyle
- 13:52Sharber to drive them in. But yep, yeah, he's heading for more
- 13:56power. He's striking out less. You know, personally, as someone who
- 14:01covers a team, I've just been really impressed with Brandon Marsh's presence and like
- 14:05the kind of teammate that he is, and you know, we're the same
- 14:09age and he's just like so like mature, and he's he's a fun guy
- 14:11too. I know he occasionally makes the you know, bone head and mistake
- 14:16and center field. But you know you're a Philly if you if you occasionally
- 14:20make bonehead and mistake. So I guess that's just like my take on that.
- 14:24But yeah, like it's it's crazy because I was kind of just like
- 14:28looking at this entire team and I'm like, who was having a career year
- 14:35and maybe like Marsh maybe the closest to that. But if you want to
- 14:39feel optimistic, you can say to yourself like we're as a fan, like
- 14:43we're getting all this production out of the team and nobody's having this incredible year.
- 14:50I think Marsh is kind of close to that. But if you do
- 14:52believe that he's going to be this really really good hitter for the Phillies for
- 14:54quite some time, then maybe you don't believe that twenty twenty three is a
- 14:58career year. Brandon Marsh. Okay, very good. No, I really
- 15:01like that underrated Philly category right there, and I think Brandon Marsh absolutely fits
- 15:07it for sure. But what about the Philadelphia Philly who needs to improve?
- 15:13You know, what are your thoughts, whether it's from an offensive perspective,
- 15:16you know, just as you take a look and analyze what you've seen with
- 15:20this team, this year. Who's that one Philly that really needs to improve
- 15:22here? Yeah, we talked about JT a little bit, and I think
- 15:28for all the reasons that we discussed before, JT probably fits into that category.
- 15:33Yeah, I do think, you know, Kyle Shoerber gets a lot
- 15:37of heat for the short outs and the just the ground balls, the first
- 15:41base and batting average. But I've been like, you know, obviously it's
- 15:46impressive how many home runs you get hit, and how many walks he could
- 15:50take, and just the presence that he can be in the lead off spot.
- 15:54But I've been a little bit disappointed with just like the lack of balls
- 15:58and play from him. Yeah, I thought would be a little bit better,
- 16:00especially because of the you know, the shift being banned, But it
- 16:04just seems like he's becoming more and more that three true outcomes kind of guy.
- 16:11I don't know what I was expecting, I guess, but I do
- 16:15think Scherber could use some improvement in that category. But I do think he's
- 16:18He's been valuable in other ways. Absolutely. Yeah, I agree with you.
- 16:23As as enraging as that batting average can be every now and then and
- 16:26again, as we say on this show, and as we all know is
- 16:29baseball fans, batting average is not everything he does have. Certain inten is
- 16:33not great stink. Absolutely yeah, yeah, absolutely, so yes, improving
- 16:38that batting average would actually be very good for this team from for a long
- 16:42term offensive perspective. So final category with regard to this particular aspect of our
- 16:48discussion here, destiny, who is the Philly in your opinion? Who is
- 16:52that true rising star? Who's that Philadelphia Philly for you? And why?
- 16:56I think it's Bryson's stud I've just yes a lot of the times I love
- 17:00him. I feel like we've been talking about this whole time, just how
- 17:04impressive the at bats the young guys have had, and nobody's better than Bryson
- 17:08Staught it giving you a really good at bat. He's been my favorite Philly
- 17:11to watch all year. I mean, aside from of course Bryce Harper is
- 17:15Bryce Harper. We were just talking about him, and he's amazing what we've
- 17:18seen with regard to his power as of late. But like Bryson Stott,
- 17:22his development and the fact that you know, he was in Triple A went
- 17:25through the farm, and the fact that he is where he is right now
- 17:27doing what he's doing in Major League Baseball. I think he's an All Star
- 17:30at some point down the road. Yeah. I think it's a good reminder
- 17:34not to give up too quickly on young players because he struggled so badly in
- 17:38his first few weeks and Majors and then he got sent down, and then
- 17:42once Rob Thompson took over, I think he you know, he improved obviously
- 17:47at the play, but I think he relaxed and realized that he had a
- 17:51shot at carving out a pretty much in everyday role, and he just improved
- 17:56after that. And I just think his at bats keep getting better. I
- 18:00think on Monday night that thirteen pitch walk really you know, set the tone
- 18:04for the Phillies and there's and when he got hit the other night on the
- 18:11Arm, I just thought, like, I'm scared of what this lineup could
- 18:15do, because they really need Bryce Bryson stat to really grind out at back
- 18:19just because a lot of these guys are very aggressive hitters, and I think
- 18:22he balances out a lot, kind of like Food Freese has been for the
- 18:26last few years, even maybe even to like a greater extent. So it's
- 18:32yeah, I love watching him play second base because it feels like he makes
- 18:34every play and it's it's important that you have guys around the field that could
- 18:37do that. And it just seems like he's going to be a presence here
- 18:41for many years to come. And that's very exciting considering Bryce Harper is going
- 18:45to be there and a lot of Yeah, it just it feels like this
- 18:48year you're enjoying watching the Phillies play, but you're also seeing the next window
- 18:55of contention because I think a lot of and this is another point that's that's
- 18:59not related, but I think the last few years, a lot of the
- 19:03concerns have been they had this great team, but what's going to happen after
- 19:07this, Like what's going to happen when a lot of these guys get older
- 19:10and they might, you know, have to go somewhere else. Or I
- 19:12think we're seeing in spades the next like really good Phillies Corps. I think
- 19:19that's a really good development. Yeah, they're laying the foundation for the future
- 19:22in many aspects of this team. So I completely agree with you. And
- 19:26again, folks were talking to Destiny Legardo from Phillies Nation dot com at Destiny
- 19:30Underscore Legardo on the Twitter dot com give her a follow, She's a fantastic
- 19:34follow and Destiny. Let's now talk about Tray Turner. Tray Turner has certainly
- 19:40turned some things around here, and I mean, and he's certainly, I
- 19:42think been the catalyst for the Phillies offense since that standing ovation, since one
- 19:48of the most incredible things I've ever seen in professional sports happened. And since
- 19:52August fifth, he's hitting approximately three forty eight as of us recording this here,
- 19:57and is OBP has climbed for two eighty nine two three eighty two amazingly
- 20:03enough here, you know, I mean, he's certainly turned some things around.
- 20:07How much of what we've seen offensively from this team do you think really
- 20:10is because of Trey Turner kind of turning some things around here for himself and
- 20:14the team. Yeah, I think Turner's transformation has been pretty incredible. And
- 20:19you know, you struggled a lot this year, and a lot of it
- 20:22has to do with just mentally, you know, being in a rut.
- 20:26Yeah, you know, struggles happen, but if they keep happening, I
- 20:30think it takes a toll on you. And I think that's what happened with
- 20:34Trey and Tray's a guy like, he likes to change a lot, So
- 20:38if he's not going well, he's willing to listen to pretty much whatever to
- 20:44try to get better. And sometimes he kind of just he's falling into this
- 20:48repetitive cycle of oh, like, he's struggling really badly for a long time,
- 20:51that he gets going a little bit and then it takes a toll.
- 20:56So it's really nice to see Trey Turner after the standing ovation. I think
- 21:00that kind of not like a sigh relief, but I think it mattered to
- 21:03him. Yeah, relax a little bit. Yeah, yeah, so yeah,
- 21:10I do think you know, Trey occupy the number two spot for most
- 21:14of the year, and it's not great to have that spot be a black
- 21:18hole production because it means guys are pitching around Kyleshwarber and guys are pitching around
- 21:22Bryce Harper too. And part of his transformation is him blowing down a little
- 21:27bit in the lineup, and now he's he's back in that spot, So
- 21:30it changes the way pitchers have to think about throwing to these these big guys
- 21:36at the top of the order because Tray Turner is now a big guy again
- 21:38and he looks like himself. So yeah, in general, I think when
- 21:45guys like Turner and maybe even j T when he when he starts to get
- 21:48going again, it makes guys more likely to just relax in the box and
- 21:53not try to do too much, not try to chase. So once guys
- 21:57start going, I think everybody starts. Yeah. I think that's a really
- 22:00great point for sure. And as we're closing things out here, Destiny,
- 22:04you know, I never want to say anything as a given when it comes
- 22:08to this Phillies team and their possible postseason appearances. I mean, again,
- 22:12like we said earlier, we're kind of already thinking, you know, yeah,
- 22:15they're gonna be in the postseason. You mentioned, you know, eighty
- 22:18two percent chance of that potentially happening. But I am wondering, are there
- 22:22any teams down the stretch of the regular season that could potentially potentially make life
- 22:27kind of tough for this Phillies team or even potentially keep them out of the
- 22:32postseason. I mean, I look at the schedule and I'm like, oh,
- 22:33I don't know if it could happen. Then again, when teams really
- 22:37start rallying around trying to keep other teams out of the postseason, weird things
- 22:41happen. In this league. So what are your thoughts here? Yeah,
- 22:45you make a good point, And I kind of thought, looking at those
- 22:51last two series against the Mets, that the Mets will become a team that
- 22:53are better after they're quote unquote teardown and they would just be scrappy. But
- 22:57I the last couple of weeks, the evidence just hasn't really been overwhelming.
- 23:04So I kind of go back to an earlier point. I think the Phillies
- 23:07are a team that needs to, you know, not really look at who
- 23:11the opponent is and just try not to shoot themselves in the book, because
- 23:14I think we've seen that plenty of times over past septembers where they just start
- 23:18playing poorly, start playing poorly as far as fundamentals go, and then it
- 23:23starts spiraling a little bit, and then they're in a bad position at September.
- 23:27But I mean, the hope is in the next week or so that
- 23:32they build up a cushion and they learn from these past septembers and they try
- 23:37to make it as easy as they possibly can. That's never a guarantee with
- 23:41this team. But yeah, like I look at the Brewers and Padres road
- 23:49trip, maybe that's an opportunity to trip themselves. I think Milwaukee is a
- 23:55scary team in the playoffs outside of La and Atlanta. The Padres. They
- 24:00played well in San Diego recently, so maybe not too concerned about that,
- 24:04but you know, you never know. I like I said, with the
- 24:08Phillies, I think it's more about not sabotaging their great chances, and the
- 24:17hope is that they've they've learned, and there's there's been time this year where
- 24:19they've missed opportunities to really increase that lead in the wildcard standing. So I
- 24:27think for the benefit of the Phillies, they should continue to win games,
- 24:32and they should feel pretty comfortable about where they are and start planning for how
- 24:37you're going to attack that three game Wildcard series, because that's that's a scary
- 24:41part. Two games and it comes down to three games, and the hope
- 24:45is that it's at Citizens Bank Park, where it's very hard to win on
- 24:51the road. I think the the Astros might have been the only team to
- 24:56to win on the road. Yeah, I think, yeah, so yeah,
- 25:02it's hard to beat the Phillies at home, absolutely, and and it's
- 25:07a great way to end it because you can't put the car before the horse.
- 25:08When it comes to this team, you you just can't do it.
- 25:11We've seen septembers in the past where this team is just folded. I do
- 25:17think we have a different team now, of course, and we did in
- 25:18the past and when you look at past septembers. But we're certainly going to
- 25:22be keeping tabs on everything here at the PSD podcast Show and on Phillies Nation
