• 0:27
  Speaker 4: busted in wide open here the eighth. They said the
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Phillies window was closing, and Kyle Schwarber took out the
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: crow ball crowbar and pride that thing back open.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: They're not done yet.
• 0:42

  Speaker 4: Curtis Granderson, the Man j Rowl, the Man Pedro Martinez.

  Speaker 5: A yeah, the Phillies. This was pending free agency. Schwarber

  Speaker 5: sware g t Ro Muto. Will this be the end
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: of them?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: They're up against Yamamoto and the Phillies came out swinging.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: They put up an eight spot on the Dodgers, and
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: we have game four tomorrow night.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: Let's get to that schedule. Here's where it starts. Join
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: us five point.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Thirty right here on TBS true and on Max. We
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: start off with Phillies Dodgers. The nightcap will be Brewers
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Cubs as the Cubs also extended their series at Wrigley.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: We will get to all of that action, but j Row,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: you said in pregame it could all change on one
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: swing of the bat. Kyle Schwarber has played seventy two
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: postseason games. This is only the second one where he's
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: hit two dingers. Two swings the bat changed it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: For the Phillies, and you need that as a team
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: that's looking for something to get you up.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And it's not the fact that it was a home run.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It was a schwar.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Bomb four hundred and fifty five.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Just sit the message. It's like, we are here, We're
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: here to fight.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: And like I said, it's one swing and it's hard
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: to explain.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's a feeling. You catch that ball right and it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: like there it is. Your Pasha's there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: Your timing is there, the decision that you made, you
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: trusted it, and you executed the plan.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And then you saw the Phillies bats not only pick
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: up but add on. They put on some runs.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: And we always talk about this whole postseason how important
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: it is to keep pressure.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They kept adding pressure.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: But it started with that swing right there, and oh
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: my gosh, I was there when g hit the ball.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Out the stadium to left field. Wow, this is impressive.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: The right field that is deep and way back there.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: When asked about the Phillies and the road trip, how
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: they were feeling because of all the tension from that
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Game two loss, they said, we played a lot of
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: cards on the plane.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: We were laughing, we were having a good time. And
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: you noticed those top three batters.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Not only were they having success, they were having success
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: in the zone that didn't happen in Philadelphia.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for some reason, great hitters, a team that was
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: top two in batting average. I know batting average gets
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: overlooked in the regular season, but that means you're getting hits.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: When you get hits, that means runners are on base
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and that gives you a chance.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: To score runs.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Well, they weren't getting the hits in the first two games,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but in this game they got balls that were in
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the play on the plate and took advantage of it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Of course, you don't want to chase balls out of the.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Zone, but when you miss out of the zone, take
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: those pitches. Finally get a pitch in the zone.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Those were the pitches they were missing in Game one.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: In Game two tonight, that ball's middle middle that's a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: ball that's depositive life.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: We saw Schwarver do all season long.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: That's a ball that's middle middle to Harper and he's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: able to take it the other way. Again, balls that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: they were foul tipping just missing, these are strikes.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Those are the.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Pitches you have to hit.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Kevin Long and one, two and three in their lineup
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: made some adjustments we talked about. They might have been
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in between pitches. They just had to switch their sites
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit. And whatever they ended up doing in
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the batt and cage Man on the off day on
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the plane playing cards, yep, was a key at a.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Time, I'll tell you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Also, what might have been a big adjustment is the
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: timing of the games.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: See they were waiting.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: These two guys, especially Hardper and Shober, can easily lose
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: their timing when they're not playing consistent baseball, when they're
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: not consistently taking those a bat, And it doesn't matter
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: how much you practice with a different team.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: It's not the real deal.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: I think the fact that they have been able to
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: play back to back games I think helped them a lot,
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: and you could see very different swings not only from
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: the two top dog but everybody else seemed to be better.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: Toner Tourner seemed to be different today.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and think about who they were up against. This
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: is Yamamodo.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: He hadn't let up a run for twenty seven innings
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: before that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And he stopped.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Was chrisp too, especially with that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: I know we all noticed how patient the Phillies batters were.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: They weren't chasing, they were looking.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: They were hunting pitches to hit, not just because it
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: was there, not just because it was a strike. It
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: was this is a ball I can hit. Rocherta said,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: you didn't miss it. We saw them being patient taking
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: that curveball that just that is just below the strike zone.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: And we have to give credit to these umpires this
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: whole series. These umpires have called perfect strikes, meaning they're
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: not calling pitches off the plate just because it's up there.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Adrian did in game to a little bit. We'll call
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: it what it is. But for the most part, they've
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: they've catched, they've kept the pitchers over the plate, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: the Phillies finally made that adjustment tonight.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: We're hunting our pitches.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: And Schwerber when he got is, he didn't mid he
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: didn't miss and the other guys.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Along the way. They were taking their singles.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: It was beautiful to see them get hits, not try
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: to be hero ball, and it worked out tonight.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Phillies fans have been wondering in the first two games,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: why have we not seen Suarez yet? This is the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: first game in fourteen postseason games that the Dodgers scored
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: less than four runs. They had a streak that was
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: tied with the seventy seventy one Orioles. They go from
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Nola to Suarez. First pitch home run, We're going, oh no,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: what's happening? And then ranger Suarez became playing playoff ranger
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: and did the damn thing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: And the guy has just it's just cold blooded killer.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: He has eyes on his veins.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: It's like, I mean, you you wanna you want to have.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: A perfect attitude for the biggest game you ever have.
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: This is the guy that has it. His presence on
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: the mound makes you relax. Actually, as a teammate if
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: you're playing behind him, it's lovely because he's gonna keep
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: a good pace to what he does.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: He puts the.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Ball in play, he gets a lot of ground ball.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: He gets us everyone.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: You know, a couple of strikeouts, but this is the
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: perfect attitude for for a big game. And I was wondering,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: why not Ranger? Why not Reranger? Even though Nola also
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: has that kind of presence on the mound, but the
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: effectiveness that you know, and especially against the Dodgers lineup, I.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Think Renger would have would.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: Have been a better matchup against the Dodgers lineup than
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: than Nola would have been. But once again, the strategy
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: from Rubb may have been the right one, and I think.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: That works out even better because now No only through
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: two winnings, the Phillies gonna win.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow Nolah's becomes available again.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the way I haven't been in the book, but
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Before tonight, and you know, everybody's on deck. You don't
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: say I'm not pitching because I'm not good out the.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Book pay Jimmy Day five.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Everybody's on deck, all hands on deck.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: You're just gonna get Phillies the game for a win
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I said, if they get gotcha here, it's a big If.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: I'm not playing, I don't count anybody.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: It's well, now it sets up interesting because now it's
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: going to be Sanchez and they're reporting it's going to
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: be glass now. But we saw the effectiveness of Sanchez
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: in Game one. And I also think the conversation now
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: goes to the Dodgers locker room. All those questions about
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: the top of the lineup for the Phillies. They came
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: out and smashed tonight. But now when you look at
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the series and the statistics, you look at Otanian Freeman,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: they are combined three for two three with ten K's Suddenly,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: now the pressure slides over, and the pressure could be heavy.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: It can be, but you're the Dodgers.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: You understand you plan against a good team, and everybody
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: understands they're planning against a good team.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It's hard to sweep regardless.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Look, you're not gonna win every game. Your job is
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: to win the series, even if it goes to Game five.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Your job is to win is to win the series.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: You think show he doesn't want to hit. You think
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: that he doesn't know Freddy doesn't want to hit.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: They're gonna come out even more determined. And it's hard
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: to imagine this, but sometimes you don't mean to take
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: your foot off the gas. It's just you're so much
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: control the urgency isn't there. And we saw the urgency
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: on the other side and that show tonight, and.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I think the big thing, you know, we talked about six, seven, eight,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: ninth inning of the game where the Dodgers have been
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: doing what they've done right tonight they didn't get anything.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Their credit to the Phillies pitching staff for doing that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: But it's those first few winnings where they haven't scored
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: any runs until just a little bit tonight, that's gonna
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: be the question mark. And it's one through nine, not
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: just the top names you talked about. They got to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: score some to score some runs early, and I think
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that changes everything.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Powder Blues that doesn't love me.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: They are I'm seven and one, I'm
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Well
