It's a WIP afternoon show with Ike Spike and Fritz. That's your 43090s, the Black Cros, Jack going through a Black Cros phase right now in his life. 134 years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Go through a phase. Yeah. Great band. Still together. Still torn. Just put out a new album as well. That's crazy. Yeah. As I told you, you got to listen to a morocca. You've never listened to that album. It is the best Black Cros album in my opinion. Super. Right after we talked to Sid the kid, 88872994, what's up? Sid the kid. Aaaaand? What's happenin' the fellows. What's happenin'? What's up, Sid the kid? What up Sid? Hey yo. Hey yo man, I'm gonna change my name and set the record straight, Sid. Yeah, I'm sayin'. That's what I'm bout to start doin' all the bit of the head man, ne? I'm gon' be as Spike as I or Sprained of these things over the airwaves and all of that listed here, brother, you know what I'm sayin'? At the end of the day, you know what I'm sayin'? main thing and how we and uh uh uh jeffy lily ones we would agree up i'm thinking you would
sustain success right yes okay and the best errors of eagles football was was the dawn of the nap area which is sustained success had big nap here if i don't know if you're 10 years 11 years whatever it was and now we're jailing yes so that's what they rather have because you know you can win with these Jews and every year they start to camp mini camps and all that they have a chance to win fight all right all right so i i agree with you that their goal is sustained success what i would argue is that i don't believe that how he believes that their sustained success is dependent on jalen hurts i believe that how he is a general manager likes bit team building building teams and when you are committing as much money as they do commit and will have to commit moving forward because remember after this year he doesn't have only his 20 million or something guaranteed next year you basically got him another contract is that team building has become harder for how we we saw
that last offseason where he wasn't really able to obtain any difference makers we've seen it this offseason as they lost out on jalen philips the only guy they really wanted to sign so i believe that how he believes that he can build a team that is good enough to have a quarterback in there that isn't making that kind of amount that kind of money and that will give them a better chance to success and the last thing i'll say is that i believe that how he believes in how he i believe that how he thinks a lot of how he and how he goes back and says look what i did we won the super ball we turned over our quarterback i got another one we want it we went to another super ball on a rookie contract i can do it again and that is what i think he wants to do so i did have they had sustained success under jalen yes most of that success most of that success was under the previous contract and just because you have had success doesn't mean that you will have success and i think that they believe the best recipe for sustained success is not paying jalen hurts the kind of contract
you're going to have to pay foolish foolish foolish all right okay all right this is what they're doing right there all right what they're doing is now okay they had a nice from jalen five-year running you know i'm saying with it with the offense that they had okay they ran this course to a degree all right they got these new dudes in here they're going to switch this office around they know they're going to have to start paying defensive players so they know they need to get this offense more better more efficient so that's why they're doing this now because in the future we we're going to go more paying the defense whether the last five years you've been paying more to offense so that's why they got this guy in here Sean Manion and and and and and and and and and and and things of that nature try to try i mean gizard or grisard grisard grisard grisard but yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i know what gizard you know i know what gizards are too but it's name is grisard yeah all right but uh but but but but but but that's the conspiracy theory that i'm thinking
that they know in the future how you say how we think about the future they're going to they need to get the offense more efficient everybody knows that we can see that we need to get the offense better and we're going to have to pay those defensive players so that's what they're doing moving in the future get the defense pay and get this offense more on track with jaylin with this guy Sean Manion and crew that's about to happen said the kid next question they give us someone who has an animal in their name yeah i thought long and hard man could think of it too but i'm gonna go with Jeremy lamb i think he's like a player i have a good one a former funder Jeremy lamb yes you come right i'm going to oh yeah i think it was huge bust bounced around yeah was supposed to be a shooter yeah was definitely a bust now we started so many names have popped in my head since oh here we go okay i'm not giving any i'm just saying okay i want with tiger early because that's the first name to pop to my right off the board but now i now has been a lot on this popped in my head since then said the kid is an excellent caller we're
talking about caller of the year for next year oh man if said the kid was a more regular caller you see he comes in made the point debated with me had a couple of funny quips in there i'm telling you man we're at the watch fritz man what okay because he's locked in on his own callers that he likes that he prefers and he's just not open to other people we can take a lot of break this the the the mold somebody likes to the kid we just got to give him jacks sell so something because he's texting yeah yeah i get my people in there it takes a while for a new-ish caller yeah yeah you're not letting you let just anybody in your circle i got trust as you you got to you got a scout for talent hold on i have talented i don't have many i don't have many trades but developing collars with an ear for getting them on ear is one of my best trades said the kid was great yeah we've had him for all right all right let's go let's go let's get you each time one of our high hopes jacky baseball report joining me right now is jacky baseball fritz
jacky baseball oh didn't want to leave with the fills when they have a comeback win and prices at big night interesting interesting oh this guy lying is ass off right on the radio for everyone that's what i do yeah that's what i do i like i force you guys off the air for fritz at six yeah uh please get off get off get off let me talk more yeah yeah yeah all right so uh some news and notes before we talk about last night real quick uh Orion Kirkering is back yeah activated off the iL Kyle back is sent down which means it Tim Mesa stays up here a p sack legend today they send Kyle back is down oh that's why you tell you the big box pal yeah little jokes like that yeah so Kirkering is back by the way dominant dominant bullpen outing last night was incredible five innings two hits kept them in the game bullens best ending so far as a philly keller as advertised deron as advertised like much much needs alvarado little shaky there's a rocket they hit off deron less there's one rocket in anything okay all right but you guys wanted anything on pace for 60
saves let me actually this about last night and the bullpen what did you think so painters in there he's struggling a little bit yeah there was a weird moment where it looked like they were sending katham out there i know then it looked like Thompson told everyone to get in there and talk to painters so so give him time to get the guy warmed up mesa yeah but then Thompson leaves painter in there i know what did you what happened there why didn't he send katham out like what do you think happened i think that was a that was a see how this goes like and it's a growing experience for Andrew painter and i actually think i was nervous because i thought painter thought he was coming out yeah and i think i was worried he mentally already checked out the start and to stick with him in that spot maybe would have been a mistake and could have blown up on their face but i think that was a show me what you got kid yeah and you're yeah it's one of those ones where you're already losing you might lose game one is one sixty one of one fifty some like learn and see if he can work his way little fight yeah yeah working to fight here yeah i think that's what's
i think that's what it was it was an interesting moment i thought i thought he was coming out well i think it was it was um arise was coming up yes those lefty lefty had the lefty loose in the bullpen he could have easily gone in and done that but yeah i think that was a let's see what the kids got it was it was a because even the i think t-Mac thought he i think everybody thought he was coming out at that moment but even not sent even telling katham not to go out i thought was it all jt by they said jt out there well yeah i think it was a one the group it didn't ever better from the infield going there yeah it was interesting it was interesting it was good yep it was good and to his credit he limited the damage it was broad now i don't like a rise in cvp that might have gone out but regardless he he limited the damage and painter overall last night just didn't have it you know i like fast find a strike zone yeah it was we like he he just kept messing like just it was different between like having command and throwing strikes like he only walked one guy last night but it was it was three ball count on everybody he was he fell behind almost every hitter i don't think he had feel for his off speed maybe a little colder last night
so couldn't find the grip on some of his pitches i think it's like there was some rockets hit off him for sure i mean it's just it kind of reinforced how i felt in the spring where he needs those off speed pitches to to get over to keep hitters off the fastball because when he throws the fastball guys are gonna be the squared up at the big league level you know there was sinker a lot more last night so i think he knew that his four seniors getting rocked maybe that's something that they do to more hitters but certainly after the first start you felt like here it is here it is here it is last night was a sobering start from and your painter yeah but if you if you this understand being excited about the the debut we all were excited um but if you got somewhat of a realistic expectation with him you gotta give him some room to have some bumps and bruises you really want to see how he bounces back from a game like last night whether or not he still has the same confidence that he showed you in that first game yeah then it becomes okay on the road versus being at home because his next start will probably be at home i think they're back home next week against Chicago i think yeah and and so you get it's easier to
feed off the energy from the crowd when you're in home you're in the road by yourself that's where you really got to bear down and and sort of work your way through it so it's i i the one thing they said about this kid that he doesn't lack confidence not cocky he's confident he's pitching Sunday against the diamondbacks at home yeah so he will he will pitch it home um but yeah no and and i think he realized he was i thought he was kind of sped himself up a little bit last night and let the game kind of speed up on him a little bit so it's just about being in control and getting his off speed over i mean there's gonna be bumps and bruises like you said um to the fact they didn't get like totally blown up and what was not a great start i think is pretty encouraging was his Velo like so he was 97 98 to start but then he started throwing the sinker more so it's hard to tell yeah the sinker was 95 where it's different than the forest seamer which is usually a couple of ticks up but it was it was nice have not didn't great as super super great but you know it's not better than throwing 94 93 it is yeah it is it is it is like some other guys yeah exactly what do you know we expect that oh yes yeah i agree yeah obviously
prices best game of the season awesome much needed and he got a big hit which is good you know slid it right through the yeah the the the the right side no i know i'm trying to get the the baseball term in yeah yeah well and that's the second double the four three was a rocket the second double hit is a home run at CBP easily yeah easily yeah so like we said yesterday on balance when he's on balance he's close there so that was yeah look at this guy good to see you know which is a victory lap is early there's no victory left for four comments no victory lap it's just it's just a little bit less check to check to check and more ears more ears what we're talking what's talking a little ball the ears up ears up Twitter fingers down really you're telling somebody else Twitter fingers down ears up ears up good night for Justin Crawford as well yeah two hits last night yeah big double big double yeah what about bomber yeah stop
yeah stop yeah stop in there i feel a little slappy you didn't grind a typical double play when you needed them i actually not no interest no i don't jack this morning as i watch in the game i said this is why i have to watch and not trust the box score i saw the box score i saw the bomb double and then i saw the bomb double and i said oh that was a that was a ground ball out to first you don't respect you don't respect the good piece of hitting well like yeah go on the go on the other way yeah uh sanchi on the mountain i will be like i need to get his name in there yeah yeah yeah yeah well done awesome yeah that throw parade uh sanchi tonight so hopefully we can take our first series out there and forever it feels like so that'd be big and then i thought this was fun spike brought us up uh when i talked earlier you ESPN they did a watchability rankings of all 30 teams in baseball they had shown field did this basically said ranked how fun is the team to watch yes 30 to one yeah who is number one the fillies the fillies were number one the
most fun team to watch yeah star power they say young talent baseball stuff plus one for best uniformers and baseball ballpark atmosphere uh in the philly fanatic so when i caught when i when i told jack about it i said nice i that was one of the things i wanted the i talked about talking about i said are they wrong or we wrong because i like the fillies and i think they're good but when i watch them it's honestly mostly torture i i i i most of the games are torture fun i don't i don't i don't never think that the first game of the the rocky series that was fun they're they're they're clearly wrong we're as a protagonist to the start of this season yes this hasn't been fun no no maybe two good games they were like oh okay oh superstars really they're all like superstars of me you need a short restructuring out of three times last night how is this ops 800 that's the wildest thing i ever saw in my whole life got a home run yeah is batting average is like 160 and somehow is ops wow and then you got the
fricking he's walking and not wait to get out tre turn oh every first pitch i just swing it every first pushing to get out oh did did most hits on the team wow yeah for sure but Crawford there's there's nobody out Crawford gets walked on four pitches yeah tre goes up there yeah he's like he's Babe Ruth just slow down slow down train well i love in fact they all have the game playing in the spring oh yeah we'll take more pitches you get the chase rate down well that was last year what yeah another chasing we're back we're back to chase he's gone yeah so we're all going to chase we got we got to make up for we got a slug eight eight back the slugging eight eight seven two nine ninety four ninety four jack you know who slugs all the time yeah it's national appliance warehouse hell yeah you know if they did the if they did the same ranking for most fun places the bi appliances there will only be one place in the regular two the one in middle town on the one in uh in well may ten yeah national appliance
