  But just talking a little spree trading baseball. I mean, I have to
• 0:04
  hope the Red Sox. We just asked about the Phillies. Gal's a big
• 0:08
  Phillies fan, obviously, But your team's had some decent runs the last couple
• 0:11
  of years. When they went to the World Series two years ago, right,
• 0:14
  they should have went this year? Yeah, everybody everybody thought it was
• 0:20
  we outscored the Diamondbacks like eighty to nothing in the first two games. Then
• 0:26
  we went down to their place and they realized, you know, why are
• 0:29
  we throwing these guys fastballs? They can't hit any breaking balls. So for
• 0:33
  the rest of the series, all they threw was breaking balls, and we
• 0:35
  just said, all right, let's go on vacation. Is that like the
• 0:39
  sixty World Series where the Yankees won a bunch of blowouts, three blowouts and
• 0:44
  lost a while one of the Pirates. Don't get me started. We have
• 0:49
  a leadoff it or either hits own runner strikes out. Well, what leadoffs
• 0:52
  are just supposed to get on first base? Well that's baseball today. It
• 0:55
  doesn't matter if it's only analytics. Yeah, I don't I know, I
• 0:58
  don't like it either. The Paul's had a tough year. There are four
• 1:03
  games under five hundred. They will I mean, unless they do something in
• 1:06
  the Big East Tournament, they won't be any postseason play for Doug's team.
• 1:08
  What have you seen from the Dugs team? Struggling right now? They've lost
• 1:11
  three straight, lost seven of nine coming in. Yeah, they lost to
• 1:15
  it. They lost their two best players. They left for more money,
• 1:19
  well not for more money, they left for money because they weren't getting any
• 1:23
  money at the Paul. So one kid went to LSU, their best player.
• 1:30
  The other kid went to Mississippi State kid Rogers, Oh yeah, yeah,
• 1:34
  I forgot about her, Yeah yeah, and whoever graduated, And so
• 1:38
  they bring in, you know, a whole bunch of new guys that you
• 1:42
  know, are not as good as the guys that they replaced. So it's
• 1:48
  been a really difficult year. It's been a really difficult year for them.
• 1:53
  But their style of play is just crazy, chaotic and anything could happen on
• 1:59
  any nine, So who knows. But yeah, I kind of feel for
• 2:07
  him because at those small schools like that, not that the Paul's a small
• 2:10
  school, I mean they got twenty five thousand kids, but at those mid
• 2:15
  major kind of sort of programs and you don't have the money or the tradition
• 2:21
  to keep people there, you're going to keep losing your best players. You
• 2:25
  know. It's that's just what's been happening. You know, those schools are
• 2:30
  going to lose players and there's nothing they can do about it. There's nothing
• 2:38
  they can do about it. All right, we'll take one more quick break
• 2:39
  on the radio show here and then we'll wrap things up with Gino here on
• 2:44
  Learfield. Stay with us Lide from Kaffey Or in Manchester
