Looking to get to 310, you guys know I like the denominations of 10s and 25s and hundreds. Can't do a denomination of 100 with 310, but this will be a nice one. Put this one up for my weekend celebration and the French thing. Hopefully get to 310. Let's play a little game. We call Pete. Our contestant today his name is Tony and Tony is going to be playing for a Philly's T-shirt an apropos prize after a quality performance by the Philly's yesterday. Almost all Philly's played well yesterday. No back is was the worst. I would say Garcia maybe next worst. His at bats were bad. Harper's at it's not so much Harper's at bats were bad per se. It wasn't like he was chasing crazy. He just was ineffective. But most of Philly's were really good, including guys like Staten Marsh. We haven't talked much about today, but they had some I thought Trace defense.

3:06That was a really nice defense. What a play. I was great. Great play and obviously Sanchez the star of the day. And shout out to bowling and pop like those guys did their job. They came in and did well. All right, let's talk to Tony and how to field. He's our contestant trying to put loss number 51 on the board for me. Good morning, Tony. Good morning, Hammer. How you doing? Hey, body excited about the Phills. I am very excited. I like I got to be honest with it. I wasn't very excited before yesterday. And today, I'm very excited. Good. I'm glad to hear that man. That's awesome. Should have listened to the hammer more the off season. I could have gotten you there five months ago. All right, Tony. You know, you have deep sports knowledge, Tony. Like deep sports. I'm an older guy. I'm in my 50s. I've watched sports my whole life. I'm into it. So I would say I know a little about a lot. Like if I said to you, Tony, which Philly's pitcher won the Saw Young Award in 1987. Would you know that answer? See the Drogen nice. Uh-oh. Oh, oh, good job. Oh, we got ourselves a match. All right, Tony,

4:11I'm going to step away. Let's listen to how convoluted, self-susquestions are over the next couple of minutes. Tony, I'm going to step away. I get like that. Dan Taganay is the first to ask in the questions. It's always a smart decision. Yeah, classic. I like this that. Tony I think you got a little shook with that. He's feeling a little threatened bedrock right? I like that. No problem You know it Love this. All right. Well, it's a good sign. Yeah, really slow. Really slow. I think that took a lot out of him I think he was pretty sure you weren't gonna get been erosion Is he yeah? I need every I need any edge I can get there. We go. Is he safely in sconce? No, not really I mean I think he's rubbing this in our faces somehow All right now he's oh righty. All right, Tony Ray. Let's play a little game. We go beat the hammer Tony Okay, good. All right, let's do it. Here we go our category for the week I like that you're showing a little fillies knowledge because unsurprisingly it is a fillies related category in honor of Justin Crawford and

5:11Soon Andrew Painter. We're doing a little fillies rookie trivia today. You ready to roll my friend I'm ready to roll with you. All right, here we go the clog was started soon as the first question is finished being asked Well, I've 55 seconds here we go question number one This rookie pitcher debuted in September of 1980 and went five and out including 20 straight scoreless innings to begin his career name him Pass in the 1940s this player set the still standing fillies rookie record with a 333 batting average name him Three three. Oh my goodness, fifth which rookie finished with a 3.1001 ERA for the legendary 2001 a 2011 Philly staff What recent MLB Hall of Famer is the only Philly's rookie to collect 200 hits in an MLB season Two pictures started a playoff game as a rookie for Charlie manuals Philly seems name one of them Repeat two pictures started a playoff game as a rookie for Charlie manuals Philly's teams name one of them

6:20Oh my goodness, this is tough tougher than you imagine This rookie pitcher debut in September of 1990. Oh, no, uh-oh That's tough. We're gonna we're gonna have to put you on a whole town Joe is now jogging now he's jogging. Yes, so yeah, all right. I'll let the Aaron go back it See slowly making his way quickly haven't even won yet Why are you why are you in victory formation? All right, I mean that's gonna be my answer rest of my life and By the way probably would not have done it if not for a heeled Hank ankle and let me thank the great people one of our tremendous sponsors the Vincera Institute who helped me wolf fritz's ass by healing my ankle Thank you, Vincera I tell people all the time get to Vincera be good. Good shape I mean chat to Vincera, but are we playing beat the hammer right now? Are you just doing what you want to do? James, you know the irony to the whole thing. Yeah, when I just kind of

7:23Fell my way into the chair. I banged my ankle That is irony that is actually irony being used right well, that is irony. That's great. All right Tony and Hatfield how do you do you ready roll here in all right good. Well, you know what born mm-hmm We are we are honoring the first exciting Philly's rookies We've had in a while this an honor of Justin Crawford and Andrew painter soon to make his day We're doing Philly's rookies as a category ready. Well, let me just say one thing real quick sure yesterday They talked about how Crawford first guy think two hits rookie game I thought a Brady was three for three, but maybe he had played with the race I think he played with the race. I'm almost positive. Yeah, because I was at a braille's first game at the match Phil's match It was a college dude and went to Chey and he got three hits in his first three at bats But maybe he had played with the race. Yeah, also the youngest Philly's regular since 1968 to debut I believe at 22 years and something. Well, they said since Richie Ashburn No, I'll Richie was in the 40s for multiple first for multiple. I'm talking about just age. Yeah, anyway all right

8:25Ray roll here rookies Philly's rookies got it not not all fill it off your sports No, just just the Philadelphia Philly's rookies. All right, Ray roll sure. All right. Here we go question number one Clock will start soon as the question's asked 55 seconds here. We got This rookie pitcher debuted in September of 1980 and went five and oh including 20 straight score I assume In the 1940s this player said the still standing Philly's rookie record with the 333 batting average name him in the 1940s Yes, well, I'll go with Ashburn Which rookie finished with a 3.10 3.01 ERA for the legendary 2011 Philly staff Worly What recent MLB Hall of Famer is the only Philly's rookie to collect 200 hits in an MLB season say that again What recent MLB Hall of Famer is the only Philly's rookie to collect 200 hits in an MLB season. I'll say I'll come back to it two pitchers started a playoff game as a rookie for Charlie manuals Philly's teams name one Philly

9:29Handles now strong So Hall of Fame that did what recent MLB Hall of Famers the only rookie to have 200 hits for the Philly's 200 more time I don't know three nothing it was Dick Allen He had 204 hits in 1964 and it was J-Hap and Kyle Kentrick. I was gonna guess Hap but I thought he didn't get the freaking starts to know not Yeah, he got one Because my whole thing was they bumped him out of the rotation of the world series and I thought they were stupid So you got to start earlier. Oh, I was gonna say hey more Kendrick And I swear to God I was gonna say Pete Rose for the freaking Hall of Fame thing. So I realized it's not a Hall of Famer I don't know if you're going beyond Philly's rookies, right? No, as Dick Allen is the only Philly's rookie to have two more than 200 hits All right, so three three for the hammer That's say you know, it's kind of like the Philly's just because he very end the Philly said back So it wasn't a perfect that this wasn't a perfect hammer, but you know what it is You know what it really is. It's just another victory. It's another notch on the belt 310 and Tony and Hatfield enters the fray of Fritz although my guess Tony my guess sir sir

10:33Yes, is he you're gonna handle it better than Fritz and I'm gonna blame the room Stole Joey Crawford Tony you're gonna handle like a man, right? I certainly am I am humbling my lost one thing. I prepared myself to do was not waste time So I wanted to make sure So I was gonna pass I was gonna get hung up, but man that time went so quick my brain locked up. Oh, I'm sorry Couldn't do it for you. It's all right Tony Can I tell you when I knew Tony was in trouble? It was pre bedrock It was when Tony when I answered the phone and said your caller number five and he said hey fritz I'm excited. I was like he's in trouble now. This is the wrong thing to have here But Tony you're a big Philly's fan, right? I know I'm not fritz he was the problem with that Tony All right, Tony here's what you got Tony you got to say two things And if you say I'm I'm gonna award you this Philly's Hat although you probably don't deserve it with your performance, but I'm gonna give it to you or sure whichever it is Uh, you got to say two things you got to say the hammer

11:34Uh, beat up on Fritz bad and you got to say that's victory 310 for the hammer go ahead sir Oh I couldn't even hear what you said, but hammer you took it to me today you deserve 310 and I I'm gonna try again And when I come back, I'm gonna be much more prepared for this excellent and Tony and and the hammer whooped up on Fritz you say that And the hammer will follow the trip. Beautiful. Tony. I'm giving you this Philly's t-shirt You deserve it now. Tony thanks for playing a little game. We call beat the hammer and with that Victory 310 we shut it down On sports radio 94 I don't figure out how long I go with this Fritz thing maybe the rest of my life Maybe Someday if I live longer than Fritz at his funeral, I'm gonna be there mocking the crowd. I whooped his ass back in 2026 Be it old old man shaking my king I do wonder still trying to challenge I agree No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't challenge. Oh, right. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I will accept a challenge, but I will not challenge

12:38How long do you think that Fritz will be verbally assaulted over this I Long time I didn't yeah every person John. I'm like every so we talk about that James detail it for those admittedly by the way as we broadcast from Borgata on this morning Of course, you can weigh in on an excellent first Philly's game We're gonna get to the highlights in just a moment two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four from Borgata It's ninety four WIP HD one Philadelphia as we broadcast away from the tasty cake studio. We're Borgata All right, James detail what you saw as people interacted with Fritz in the ballpark Yeah, so I was with Ike Fritz and Tucker yesterday We were hanging before the game during the game and I'm not kidding We couldn't walk a step without someone coming up and saying something to Jack there were people who were nice like a couple people came up And we're like hey man, you know, you gave it you're all good for doing that There are a lot of people who came up and said something like man You got to leave the city or how could you possibly do this? What the hell is wrong with you a lot of that But I was astounded it was to the point so whenever you're out with those guys like I could always do the like

13:43Yo, there's Fritzie to people like to like let them know Jack's there. Hey go meet Jack whatever He did it once and he's like oh man. He's like I got to stop doing that. I got to not tell him where Jack is today So it was that level of bad. That's funny. All right look two one five five nine two ninety four Ninety four to weigh on an excellent first day for the fills. Let's talk to Ed right now calling from Phoenixville good morning, Ed Good morning team what it's a great first day, you know, I said yesterday that you know It's great when every team starts out at zero and zero And it's a long slog of a season, but like I'm really allowing myself to be excited about I know what Crawford did yesterday And I just can't wait to see him just raise hell on those base past just Yeah, you saw what happened with like the fielders, but When you're a pitcher and you're having to worry about whether he's on second base moving around It affects like everything like your mindset your grip your motion And that cutter may not cut as much on a pitch in on the hands the shorebird remember

14:43So it really messes with an entire defense and that that's just really cool to watch Yeah, it's fun very funny It probably did not make a difference when boom hit the homer because there was already two outs So by that point you don't think you're going to get a double steel with Crawford and Trey But he messes with it with the pitcher. It puts more strain on the pitch. Yeah, it certainly does It does, but strain on everybody out there defensively I just look forward to seeing and it is tripling It's minor league numbers may not translate to the majors at least not yet But he has really good play to the point. I can't wait to see him you know Draw some walks at the bottom of the order and then cut really kind of That things up for Trey Turner to where he can totally focus on driving the ball rather than You know because Trey Turner for his good of a player. He is hasn't never been like the big walk guy. So I just you know, he you know Crawford being a catalyst to that lineup at nine is kind of is just really going to be exciting to watch and Very cool. Yeah, yeah And hopefully less solo homers for shorebird You know, which I mean last year hit a lot of every type of homer

15:45But I'm just saying he has in his career had a lot of Philly's solo homers part of that's because he was leading off and You know what I'm saying? I mean the reality is that between Crawford and Turner in front of him Hopefully some of those solos become you're a pro at running your life at committing to your workout at showing up every day at Bombas were pros too pros at making socks our sport is Orban has specialized socks for whatever sport You're committed to running hiking golf Pilates and so much more Maybe the sweat wicking yarns blister fighting details and targeted art support Bombas sport is pro level socks from the pros of socks for another pro you go to bombas.com slash audio and use code audio for 20% off your first purchase That's bombas.com and use code audio spring is when plans start becoming real trips get booked calendars fill up And if learning a new language has been on your list starting now means that by summer You'll already feel more confident speaking and understanding it That's where Rosetta Stone comes in for over 30 years.

Good start for boomer as well For sure, I'd give me and you can win the Brian Adams tickets a title with a body part in it Hopefully boom hits a lot of juicy doubles this season. How about baby got back Very well done. Well presented, but yeah, does it count though? Oh bad. I'm an idiot. I was thinking of the actual posterior That was very dummy good job. Yeah, all right. Let's go back to how it's done the euphemisms too much on our new Let's go back to how it sounded yesterday here on WIP was great to have fransky and LA back and we're a number of highlights to play

19:53And in order to you know to hear and we're going to play five of them for you kind of give you the the Feel of yesterday's game. It started well. It started with Sanchez, you know getting through the first But then in the bottom of the first for the fill is the first real highlight of course Would be the Schwerberian with a Schwer bomb the pitch Schwerber swings hits one high in the air to left It's really deep going back haggity at the wall. He looks up, and it's gone And Kyle Schwermer starts the season with the bang Home run number one a two-run shot to straightaway left And the bellies lead to nothing And you look at the flags they are not moving air Straight down and that was all just Kyle Schwermer's power all the way around what a way to start It's an exciting day, and that was obviously the first real moment the second real moment You know if you and any later any later that any Crawford yeah any later and any later Justin Crawford his first major league at bat

20:55He's got his family there. He's got his friends there and man He did not waste time Well nice hand for Justin Crawford as he stands in a big league batter's box for the very first time 22-year-old outfitter in the first pitch to him. He's rips it back up the middle. It's a base hit Straight past the glove of evolved the on into center field and Crawford with a line drive bullet up the middle Gets his first major league hit here on opening day. You might want that ball back Ha, now before we continue with the highlights chance quick diversion first So first time you go on a football field do you remember it? I mean, I'm saying NFL You're playing for the Raiders you jog on the field for the first do you remember it? No I remember the first time I ran out as a College okay kid big house. Yeah, who I remember that time because I was so disappointed I remember I remember that time because I was told you will never experience anything like running out in front of

21:57You know 107,000 people at the big house. It was just another day at the ballpark. Oh my god So focused on my playbook. I was so because I'm playing as a very John Richie of you. Yeah. Yeah I had to know my plays I would I had to not make mistakes. I didn't want to you know put my my I didn't want to risk my reputation with my teammates right at the gates. I make a mistake So I'm studying I'm cramming and that's all I can think about and you know and part of it when you're at Michigan as you run out And there's that banner. Yeah, you run down the the hill and you jump up and you touch the banner and It did not move me. It did not make me feel the way I wanted it to and I was really frustrated by it And we dominated and you know, I got a chance to play right at you know You're a psychologist out there that can help Sadly, Devin, were you on the sideline of the Eagle Super Bowl two seasons ago being like

23:00Yeah, it's like a preseason game I don't even notice it really. Yeah, you know, it didn't really live up to my expectations I was too focused on my reports. No, yeah, I can't can't say I really John you sound like AJ Brown Yeah, I thought the Super Bowl was just gonna be better Yeah, yeah, I'm in it for me now. I'm fantastic. It looked crazy I'd never seen that much yellow and blue all in one place But it didn't feel the way I wanted well great job by Crawford and of course is next the bat same thing right right back up the middle again Seconded bat keeps it up. Yeah, so it gets two hits on day one now. Let's get to bone So fills up to nothing for being a good portion um They pat it to five nothing turns out this was really important because in the end they give up three runs So they really needed this home run and boom in a big spot after outs by tre after outs by Shwerber and Harper Middle the game boom really delivered and the pitch Swing and a fly ball well hit right field going back into the wall looking up and it is gone

24:05Opposite field A three run home run to break it open As it has against the pitcher. I was a good pitcher. I was really shocked. I was too Did not in a in a million years expect him to go yard. Yeah, but what a great sign big moment now Opposite field now here we are we're I don't know three four minutes into giving you the highlights Of course, you can weigh it on all this two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four. We haven't even yet gotten to the star This guy was the star of the day all due respect to Crawford boom Shwerber all those dudes It was a Christopher Sanchez afternoon one of the great players and Philly sports and as Elliott said earlier maybe the best Maybe he might be I mean, I think he's the best player on the Philly's so He might be I'm still winning Wheeler until I see otherwise, but but look Sanchez is awesome Sanchez dominated Let's listen. He finally let the beast out of emotion After he got this 18th out of the game for him. He got through six Lot of strikeouts. Lot of strikes very little concern

25:05Christopher Sanchez was deal and let's listen as he closed out the six the left he kicks the pitch swinging him as he struck him out And the Sanchez emotion clapping his glove. He's got ten punchouts on opening day over the Rangers He waves to his family in the crowd in the crowd waves back and Sanchez with a dandy today in game number one Really he was fired up. It was awesome. It was great to see. I mean he's just I think sometimes you almost take him for granted You're like oh, I just kind of expect Sanchez to go out there and deliver like that Which is pretty wild so one of the things that I was trying to make this point a lot in the all season And a lot of people didn't want to hear and that's fine But I was trying to make the point not only the Philly still really good But they're likely to stay good for a while now maybe not this good Because you're gonna get the client and already have to an extent with guys like Harper you got the other players Or older that's where I just do it with you, but they are they the Sanchez and Lazardo big Terrific and listen painter will say right? But you know and you still you still got Wheeler for a period of time. So I mean you have two

26:11Minimum to as long as Lazardo stays healthy minimum to Sanchez and Lazardo who should give you a Quality starts for years and with painter if you have three You know, I think they're in pretty damn good shape. I really do all right So Sanchez certainly did his job to relievers did his job then John a complete fiasco Complete and utter fiasco from back us. There's no highlight there, but that wasn't So if you're a side armor and you're just a little bit off. I guess does that mean it It throws everything into total mayhem. Is that what we're to expect now on this guy? I got a picture more. I got to see him pitch more than to know. I would just say I think he is pretty easy for right in it Hitters to square up the numbers bear it actually what he's like not perfect He is he is pretty he is a let he is a classic lugi like he is a classic Face him against left-handed pictures and avoid right in itters at all class Yeah, all right Well, they put him in there with the five-nothing lead even their writings were coming up

27:12I think because it was a five-nothing lead and he learned from that mistake Hopefully they don't do that again. It's not from might feel bad about it because the crowd really got on him I mean this first time ever in Philadelphia. Yeah, it's a tough like he got that see that's the manager The manager's got to know what his numbers are against righties and it would when I heard fransky say it They're disastrously, you know huge. Yeah, all right. You're convincing me on that. I mean it was five-nothing So I wasn't in the moment Concerned, but I I get the point especially the off day tomorrow, too Like you don't have to you know they've they've had it all see off season. Yeah, yeah All right, so you're trying to avoid going into Ron just because why use them when you don't have to but it got to the point where it was time to use them So Uh, Ron comes in five two gives up a single that makes it five three now the the run charge to back is yeah But in the end the Ron closes it out listless and as the fills get hopefully as Rubin said a hundred wins was Rubin's prediction yesterday Hopefully the first of 100 just in the regular season alone the Ron closing it out in the ends The rod ready and the pitch

28:13Swinging a bouncing ball the first Harper scoops at the bag puts his foot on the base and that closes it out The fillies hang on to win it five three the final and take game one of the season with an opening day win over the Texas Rangers Good stuff really good stuff David. What's the clubhouse like after the game? What were they saying? I mean it was Typical fillies, you know it we heard from Shorber we heard from Justin Crawford before and after the game um, and I think Kyle Shorber really sets the tone where you know, you could tell he's Satisfied and happy about the win, but it's you know We have 162 games and this is just the first of many and we can hope to keep it up But and you know Shorber did say I he and Bren and Marsh actually both echo the same sentiment that you know This is a special group and they're they played together this core for so long and they all know that that's very rare In professional sports and Kyle Shorber straight up was like look, I think we have a really good club

29:15I know that he kind of mentioned like I know the bullpen kind of got a little shaky at one point. I don't know. It's exact wording, but Just confidence quiet confidence, I would say well look I'd say my main thought watching the game and certainly after was We got a big time contender That's what I believe we got a big time contender and I have to give you a little hat tip Joe because I think you might have unexpectedly Help someone out on the fillies yesterday Really who's that you had your you weren't sure about your poll question about Orion Kirkering yeah Whether or not you were cheer on and we didn't think he was gonna be there James didn't think Well Very bad about He texted me Dave Dembrowski said he wasn't gonna be there. Yeah, so they announced him and I thought it was fairly positive But I think it was quick By the way, he's like I'm so sorry It happens all but I think David's all good man. No worries. Oh, good But I thought if people like if we hadn't said like remember that game that game was a 2-1 game and fillies had their chances

30:21And it was it was horrible, but he he stood up And he took his medicine right after the game. Oh, yeah, yeah So there was no reason to say you know get skies of bum And I thought the fans handled him pretty well. It was a nice moment. It was so I will look We'll take your reaction to day one. What's so that obviously a lot more good than bad couple players didn't play well But what you thought on on day one and do you agree with this basic comment? We got a big time contender not just contender. We got a big time contender That's what I believe two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four coming up if you miss what Cam Jurgen said about his back from last season and even two seasons ago We'll get to that and more Justin Crawford on the emotions of day one experiences a big liger and More on the ballpark experience that a more frontboard got it today on 94 wip well outstanding job by the fills they were fancy free and foot loose Well Well actually no stolen basis, but that's okay The threat of the steel exactly. It's like the play action pass might hand it off

31:26might throw up bomb Justin Crawford certainly brings some stuff to the table. It was fun to see him play yesterday So we're looking for the best answer of a title with a body part in it That's why James is playing the foot loose song right now, but also your thoughts on day one for the fills I let me give you To me the three negatives that stood out and I I lean much more positive than negative, but three negatives So now I'm curious which you thought Presents the greatest concern for you out of the gate to the three negatives. I thought we're back is Bryce And Garcia Now I put Garcia as the one that I put a Red flag next to it because He looked like the player we had heard was one of the worst offensive players in baseball the last two years John those three back is Harper Garcia. Which one concerned you the most? I think Garcia We knew that he was uh, you know falling off a bit That's why he's here on a one-year deal I Personally was such a huge fan of Harrison Vader

32:26And we know that Harrison Vader signed for essentially two years for you know what we've signed this guy up for for one And it feels like and I hate you know, I hate to say our guys painly by comparison. It's just one day But it felt like he was ill prepared. I thought it's a bad for him. Yeah, it wasn't just Out of the play like he looked he looked at he looked challenged He didn't feel like Harrison Vader. Harrison Vader gave us a lift a jolt and I You know what it's unfair. I don't want to go see it I probably had him set up for failure in my own mind because he's not Harrison Vader But man, it was so far It was so distant from what Harrison Vader gave us tough time. Yeah, I know it'll get better for Garcia It better get better because we know what we we know what we came what Vader can think we know what he could have provided I agree with that and what could what could prove to be a mistake So look you can weigh it on everything from day one of the fills also Twitter poll questions of the day

33:27Both questions brought to us by arm and shovel a and both basketball related marches truck muff At arm and shovel a get financed as low as 1.9 percent and every Silverado LD Get supplier price in an arm and shovel a pro hoops question is this If they get Tyree's maxi back, do you think the sixers are a contender in the east yes or no? I think they are Now I know some people probably are laughing at me But if they walk out there in the playoffs with maxi edge comb anyone who watch the game Anyone who watch this sixers play with with four with three with three of the four three or four three. Okay, uh They are legit But they're not going to play with them playing the goals. Yeah, well that isn't the way joe l played Paul George playing the way Paul George played If we add Tyree's maxi to that equation with vj as part of it. Yeah, I think we could beat any so Your point is problem. They don't think they sustain it's a series. Yeah, well, it's not only serious It's a month and a half on earth. Yeah, can any of us expect joe l to survive a series a month a month and a half any of that stuff

34:35It's just fantasy well All right, so look people can weigh in basically they got to get maxi back to feel like a contender if they get maxi Are they contender in the east yes or no? Second poll question. Have you been struggling like I have with the NCA tournament? I just can't get into it St john's Duke tonight and that maybe I maybe I prioritize but I'll just say like real less And of course my mind was probably or a tie my mind was mostly maybe I pray or a tie maybe I maybe that's a huge game Look, here's a deal take yesterday as an example What was the headliner fillers opening day? Yeah, well of course. What was the sub headliner flyers game at night Which probably they won played very well needed it got it win five wants still five points back But hey that but like from a 30 to 40 year big picture in my lifetime I'm 47 if you had told me last night. It's also the sweet 16. Yeah in yesterday. You're You kidding me? I would have been all over that. Yeah last night. No interest. No interest Especially since the fillers game was you know, I don't yeah, so I'm interested to know

35:35The poll question is have you been struggling to get into this year's NCA tournament yesterday? Let's go to the let's go to the phones two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four Talk to Gary right now and violin hi Gary In the words of L.A. You can't go on defeated unless you win the first game Broadway Well, you actually can if you don't play Okay, yeah You can Gary you know who didn't go on to feed it jack fritz. Oh my god. He did no hahaha That's gonna be your go-to come back forever, isn't it? It's like any time So happy think of a beaming smile Gary be me be me The camera you didn't lose in the nine months that you were rehabbing. No, that's right It's exactly right Well how exciting so exciting that I totally forgot that there was basketball on yesterday College yeah, yeah, oh, I got your 100% right like my my daughter dance or st. Jews

36:36I went to a ton of games this year Couldn't name any of the players It's it's just not like it was. I don't know if it's the transfer portal I mean Gary how about how these teams that are still playing That let's just say whether you're a fan of them or not and most of us aren't fans of these teams remaining But you know like they're gonna be ripped up and look completely different next year because they're all gonna hop teams See one of the things pro sports gets right And the owners new years ago to make this a priority is fans want some consistency So that was a problem for players. I'm going back 50-70 years ago There's no free agency and the players like hold on a second here So they fight for and rightfully get free agency but Teams have control of them for x number of years at various by sport out of the gate And then when you sign a player typically it's a two three four five year deal And so you know, I know how he does a lot of one year deals But you know my point you there's an expectation. These are our guys College basketball college football. It's like the Wild West

37:38So I don't know I just very I'm very down on it very down And it's totally different you with recruiting now they kind of almost want the kids to go to a smaller college And then hit the portal rather than recruit recruit to like a big school now It's it's totally different well again Gary. I'm gonna say one more thing someone tweeted at me like two weeks ago And it was a really interesting point. I hadn't considered John. I guess like what's the point of senior day? Mm-hmm like to me You should only have senior day for the seniors that are four years I at that school. Yeah, you can't go to three schools and beyond or no senior day I I don't even think those exist. Well, I mean seniors that have been there for four years So to make new five new rule only four year seniors or five years seniors if they were red shirt at that school Only people that played at that school only in my opinion should get on or not Is a freshman leave for sophomore junior come back Oh, I like that. I like your thinking games pulls like a cjgj. Yeah, just college exactly

38:40Or it could be like Kentucky senior day is their freshman year. Yeah Anyway, Gary give me your main fault of the Phillies yesterday. I just think you know they played hard Our big popper got a got a home run to show that we're you know make us glad he's back boom stepping up You know Harper obviously taken more pitches as we saw on every I back That was our cousin I was like wait was I watching the same game yeah, yeah All right, Gary give me an answer my man.

Well, how am I saying listen D He gets me a football. He's already up one nothing. I've he's earned that Do you know D has he earned Being a better golfer and like he would beat me in the foot race. There's no doubt I don't know that he would beat me in baseball, basketball, tennis, golf Or whatever the seventh No, no, no, no. I talked about going golfing all the time. Yeah, but he might but he might be like fritz You know guy that shoots eighty five. He's not like fritz I'm just telling you guys that shoot eighty-five typically shoot about 90 because they give themselves free pots Damn, I don't know if you got but I'm telling you the amount of people that goff That are like oh that's good. I got that. It's like wait a minute. You know, put the ball in the hole

It's part of it because people don't Actually shoot the ball. John you would be disgusted. You think Ike is less of an athlete D. We'll find out if he's got the guts to challenge me. I don't know. We'll say All right, that'll be fascinating That was derisive So the fillies I am hopeful for the fillies, but I'm not excited And if you're superstitious, that's exactly where you want me to be because as soon as I get excited That's when the basketball cold and errors start happening. Okay Good stay Plus then right where you are

45:51Right where I am because I don't want to switch anything. I don't want anyone to blame me So I'm just going to remain hopeful All right, I need an answer from your body part in the title Um the Atlantis more set song head over feet Yeah, double head and feet Okay, head over feet fair enough two one five five nine two ninety four nine four I thought to have a wise decision by bum then I'll publicly talk about his family strife Yeah, I mean I brittle spot forgot to be him. Yeah, and like you have to the question had to be asked I wasn't going to be the one to ask it But you know someone stepped up and I thought he handled it well You know just immediately squashed it like I'm not talking about any of that I thought it was interesting that that story broke in the middle of opening day like I don't know It was literally during the game. It was like 440. I believe it was first published Well, I think what happens there I'm just assuming what this is what happened because I'm not familiar with the reporter Um, it was filed in Philadelphia federal court. I believe on Wednesday. Okay, and somebody at the court

46:52There there are reporters who just go through court filings. Yeah, and then you find something. You're like oh wait a minute Alex boom. Yeah, so people yeah, you're gonna you're gonna print it when you've got it done Yeah, I don't know if I don't think it was a sports reporter. No, yeah, so for those that don't know We're talking about Alex boom is still in his parents for mismanagement of fonts his his money obviously that he's made a majorly baseball It's just a brutal spot. It's really sad. It's very sad And John we touched on this earlier, but when these guys and I say these guys or gals, you know female stars that make millions Um, when they come into millions oftentimes. It's in their early to mid 20s Or hundreds of thousands and that's obviously abnormal for you know people in society And so you lean on loved ones to manage. I mean listen It's like bone. I want to know a 401k from 22 from a All right, I was more familiar with a beer than a 401k. Yeah, but this is what everyone deals with coming into professional sports though It's unfortunate that he has had to contend with this. I I think we're all aware that stuff

47:54Has been a bit off with Alec uh in terms of his emotional Stability. Yeah, that doesn't mean it's tied into this. It could No, I absolutely think if this is if there's I think he's a player that wants to win it doesn't handle the think about the fact that if there is more truth to this Absolutely, it could be but I don't know in 2023 he was slamming his bat down because he was aware of his parents taking Okay, I think there's a problematic relationship there that now is being fleshed out in courts Sure that can be a distraction for a young player. We just don't know how long it's gone on Right, and it's possible he had no idea it was going on back when you know, he was struggling What a sad situation this place sad terrible sad, you know, I just you never like to see this but right right how we're Don't we want for another example of chaos in his life and you know stirring things up in a way that It doesn't help that's the good season. It doesn't help the way this team plays not good all right

48:55Let's get to right right now calling from Morstown as we broadcast from work out. I good morning ray Joe first of all, I want to call and congratulate you on your big win Last weekend. I'll say I was rooting for you the whole time about thank you a month ago. I had called Jack and it was talking to him about the Phillies and you know, I can just simply to ask them you know What are the Phillies done to get better in the offseason that makes them a better team than they were At the end of last year and he accused me a 27 year caller of WIC that I did not know sports Oh, no, he said that to you He he he did and so I've officially been out on jack and I was full and hard for you Joe And I'm so glad that the the David and Glyah story came true for you I appreciate that let me tell you this though Ray all jokes aside He's a tremendous fellow knows a ton of sports Oh, I know he's I got nothing but love for except when it's the lines of competition

49:58Were the gloating for years afterwards? Well that that right there is reason Reason to for concern. I mean if he's trash and Uh if he's trash and people's Accumacy it doesn't handle things well. I mean that's not cool. Yeah, right look I was trying to put some hair on his chest and I guess the effort will continue Keep on working people we apologize for that if he didn't say that to you Hey, it's all in fun. It's all in fun. There you go All right, I need a title with a body part. What do you got pal? Well, listen Three-time Academy Award winner Uh, this gentleman won his first Academy Award for best actor for my left foot Yeah, that was a great movie and a great performance Ray good song call right there my left foot good stuff That was James Lane 80s early 90s. Yeah, I want to say like 87ish somewhere in there something great It was way too mature for me to see back in 1987 and I've never gone back and great

50:58Visited great movie. All right, Justin Crawford great right out of the gate yesterday hit And hit in his first two at bats. Let's listen to Justin Crawford after the game The emotional edge of being out there a big Liger family in the stands 45,000 or however many are out there Citizens Bank Park. Well, let's listen to Crawford after the game. Would you make the energy out there in center field fans? Would that mean to you? Oh, it was awesome Everything I honestly pictured at My new place again rocking and it was so it was cool being able to hear it for the first time And I'm excited for me anymore So you got some butterflies when we were getting them was it? Yeah, before you're at that wasn't before like we were getting your name called and probably right before I got my name called Got on the line. I settled down a little bit and then once I ran out into the center. I felt It's going time All right Crawford good stuff. So his ballpark experience was cool. Yes, Jim. We talked about your ballpark experience Um

51:58The hammer So I didn't want to you know uniform and dime anyone out or anything like that I did see someone at the game yesterday and that someone is the great Amy from Philadelphia by way of Wayne from Penn the whole thing Do you see me standing right there? No, that was what I didn't want to dime you out for I was like where's Joe are you guys we're in a fight You guys weren't me and the fillies in a fight. No, you know, Amy being Amy in a fight um Not spending the game together. So how do I put this? Oh boy. I prior. It's I was um lazy. It's a load management day Yeah, I was told you were quote unquote tired That was so You didn't go. I mean, I would have loved it. Been there. Yes, but I had to get the edge right now I'm disappointed you and I that we did pick up on this. Oh, no So I knew about this. I just I figured he was gonna bring it up at some point I was waiting at the end of the show if it didn't happen I wouldn't dime them out, but I figured I'd give him a chance. Oh, no

53:00James, let me be honest. Okay, now that we're there and I let us there Let me give you the reasons why I did not go open. Please there are like four or five Reasons reasons. All right. Here we go. Here we go number one And I don't say this much often on the air because I don't want people to think that I'm like crime your river like frets But by the end of the week with the morning show you do there's kind of a wear down factor by the end of the week So I'm always sleep deprived by the end of the week. So I took a massive afternoon that massive needed it. Okay Number two the uniform The uniform on a 70 degree day Not exactly my preference for So don't wear it. You mean the uniform that every player is wearing? Yeah, but I'm not a player I don't care. They they're way I'm just saying where this there were a lot there were a lot of people tell me don't wear the uniform Some would say it took one for the team by not wearing it. Okay, then you have Was I Devon would they have actually let me get the American flag in the trophy

54:01Into the ballpark why would they not I don't think they would have so I felt No, I didn't let me put it this way. I didn't want to go and be turned away You could have come it you could have gone in with the American flag for sure the trophy. I don't know Said again. When have you ever been turned away? I've never walked through the media entrance with the uniform They're not gonna turn you unless I have clothes above it and then give my clothes to John Brazier But you change in a stall Brazier takes my clothes to his office Brazier doesn't work for the It's Brazier's fault. So it's Brazier's totally Brazier's fault is too high maintenance. You need to wrecking top. We're going still works there You can talk to Tom these busy. He's got the fanatic thing going. No, he does have that fanatic thing I mean what was Brazier doing during the game other than not much handling my clothes what fanatic he's friends He knows the fanatic so there was that issue and then there was you know Got to get down to work out and you know what I do love when I get to work out There's about five or six times a year where it's like get here to saddle up room service and watch the NFL Draft on a Thursday

55:02Phillies when they start the season on the road on a Thursday You know certain playoff games not that we've had many of them Thurson and football Eagles games like I do sat in your room. Yeah on a gorgeous gorgeous Amazingly beautiful day. I guess what I got Rhea energy Get your Outside I got energy. Why could you go sit outside with your laptop or the or radio that James is that week is that is that week Incredibly weak sauce. Yes, you can't spend oh like we did like a you know Side top and not quite but like a beat topic. What should he wear? Yeah, like we did Poles And you know, that's not true That's true. What were the results to the poll we did 54% They did If you can't like do this whole thing and then be like I honestly what I my biggest shock of the day yesterday was what Amy said you didn't show up

56:04I thought I'd be there and then we're still sleeping No, but I woke up just in time just in time to high-tail it down here to make it for the first pitch on TV That's all I did it that is not and Devon actually know I wore I wore the flag with the trophy On my Jericho box 29 the other day you did and that was a badass look Oh, yeah real badass But really think about it if you're friends. Yeah, and you see me on a late night show Like that's got to irritate him with the trophy sitting right next to you You look like you just won a heavyweight boxing match. I will say that Joe. I have to say I I'm sure I've never looked at you went well. There's a badass. However However, I do have a note that I need to tell you about fritz Okay, so it's unconfirmed but sources have told me that Jack Fritz is suing his parents. Uh-oh mommy and daddy. Uh-oh A.k.a. Spike and I for mismanagement of the basketball Go that's I like that riff. Well, chocolate. Well, I said it to you. I do use it. I do use it. That's great

57:10All right, let's get to Davin Ben Salm game one reactions a lot good from the fills yesterday Sanchez a spare matter fact James. Let's hear the fourth of the five highlights Christopher Sanchez was fricking Dealing obviously only one six because it's early in the season But a lot of strikeouts and a lot of excellence. Christopher Sanchez yesterday wrapping up the set the left He kicks the pitch swinging him as he struck him out And the Sanchez emotion clapping his glove. He's got 10 punchouts on opening day over the Rangers He waves to his family in the crowd and the crowd waves back and Sanchez with a dandy today in game number one Beautiful excellent stuff. Hey, we're gonna get to this cam jargons audio from yesterday pretty interesting About what he went through at the end of the 24 season and during the 25 season with the back And how he's feeling now very Interesting audio. We'll play that coming up after this next call. Let's get to Davin Ben Salm right now. Dave. Good morning Good morning, Joe. Good morning guys. Great show this morning. How are you guys doing down there to work out?

58:13Do well, Dave. How about you? Yeah, well, what a beautiful day yesterday, Joe opening day It says this night car with beautiful weather. Nothing like it. Nothing like the sights and sounds of the ballpark on TV It was just incredible. It was just the atmosphere was incredible. The fans were so pumped up for the game. Yeah, Dave you were there in person, right? Yes, I was. I've been blessed and lucky enough to start working for the Foley's organization in 2022 There you go. The wonderful spirits. I've never had my life. Oh good for you. Yeah, David's the bet. David also works flyers games Game by game, Joe. We know it's 162 games. That's right. There's gonna be damn. Are you gonna be there for all of them? Dave, they've never not made the playoffs Almost every one of them. That's awesome. Good man. So it's like, yeah, I mean, Joe my opinion on this is like nothing Crawford and Andrew Painter have to contribute to this team this year. This Justin crop has great speed He gets on base. He's gonna still bases when the top of the lineup comes up and be able to move the runners

59:13Yeah, listen I'm very excited. I was most excited to see him entering the game And then obviously see his performance was great. That was that was really good stuff It was it was just a great day and I just like I said We just got to take the ride enjoy the summer and just not and I like everybody else. I live and die on every game But it's a long season a lot can happen. All right, Dave. Give me an answer buddy for a body part in the title You can win the Brian Adams tickets sounds good. I'll go with a ZZ top song in the 80s legs. Good answer. Oh, yeah Brain answer fun song Dave excellent call right there James the back is thing um Not really an issue or cause her concern what we saw because I might just say that's for you answer watching remodel last year for the first time I was like after game one. I thought holy hell. We got a real problem here I didn't feel that with back. It's but obviously it wasn't a good performance. What were you thinking? Yeah, I'm not freaking out over it look Let's remember Kyle back as this is the 24th 25th 26th kind of guy on the roster. You know, he is he is a specialist

1:00:15He's on the roster to face left-handed batters. That's the only reason he's here So don't let him face the way he is so I do again. I blame topper for the situation he was put in I think on top of that he just didn't have his best stuff yesterday I am not super concerned with anything from yesterday with Kyle back John you remember the remodel thing and by the way Yes, because for the four months he picked his eyes his eyes. I've never seen such pitiful eyes I mean teary looking on the verge of breaking down He just he couldn't contend with everything that he was facing and then is on the back It's pretty heavy what I'm trying to say to though is like he might not be good You know, he's he is he might be fine. He might be okay as a lefty specialist But like this is not someone who I am sure you know, and I mean like he might he reminds my good. I just don't know enough Yeah, it's not one of your main guys Yeah, I got you do you think that it's possible that topper got excited about using Using him yesterday Just because it's been it because it is so exotic because it is so no

1:01:18I think he looked at the line up and said it's Cory Seager and it drops off like they have righties after that But there are top three itters their best three hitters like I think it was like it drops off after this Is it only like we hear we're gonna put blinders on and say get Seager out and that's what matters They were all five nothing she don't expect to lose the game and by the way Listen was it maybe a mistake to put him in ready to your point with the ready lefty thing Okay, I'm with that, but let's also remember you did have a five-run cushion like that's why he's in the game But if the numbers weren't so stark yeah, you know like James said he's a lefty specialist. Yeah, all right Well, look everyone can weigh it on day one reason you get patched with those terms two one five five nine two ninety four Ninety four ninety four let's get to this camjergans audio This is very interesting. He was on the boss and with the boys podcast talking about everyone on that pod It's a thing To go on it. Yeah, I guess they feel there's a comfort line. All right, so he's talking about the The back injury from the 24 playoffs. You might remember he dressed for the Washington NFC championship game

1:02:23But with the intention of not playing unless land landed Dickerson is slid over to center If there was an issue with Dickerson, then they maybe jurgens would go in. Well, that's exactly what happened So jurgens had to play the second half of that game and they didn't really want him to but you know Dickerson So he plays in that game. He's already compromised plays in the Super Bowl two weeks later Plays this past season and was way not the same Let's listen to jurgens detailing what happened and is that look moving for it? It's tough That Super Bowl we won. I mean, I herniated I had a herniated disc and then right for the playoffs My disc like broke off and got wrapped around my saddick nerve So it was just like oh my god, it was hard to walk. I don't know how I was playing Like it was it was easily the worst month of my life But then also like kind of the best month of my life because we won the Super Bowl But it was just miserable, dude Just the pain and then getting surgery and like trying to get back for the next year and You know, it's always tough having a surgery in the offseason, but when you have back surgery It is tough

1:03:24Like it takes a good year to come back from that and like I'm starting to feel really good But dude just all year just trying to get through that just a tough year at the back But it's feeling so much better makes a lot of sense. He said he's starting to feel really good. Yeah, now So yeah, I expect just such a An optimal difference this season in the way that he plays what we saw last year was a struggle I thought it was below average. He's saying he doesn't know how he did it It was a struggle to walk He doesn't know how he was able to figure out a way to play And I'll say this everyone listening who has had it back injury, which I'm fortunate to never have had But think about for those of you that have had it Now think about the pain you've been in now think about blocking somebody 320 pound guy right in front of you and the 10 or 20 or 25 times a game where His whole goal is to hurt you. There's 800 pounds on you like there's I can't imagine that you're already

1:04:25There's this linebacker. There's this edge by the way Like Jordan Malata falls on you and this guy falls on you. You know what a hopeless feeling and that's brutal With a bad back when there's no escape from the pain like you all you want is to feel Nothing or some like something positive and you can't escape. I can't imagine that's for a back pain Because it's so all-encompassing. Yeah, it's it's you everything that you do you feel that crazy all right reaction on day one With the fills two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four Sanchez obviously the main star Crawford Bome and Schwarber other Big parts of the game as well John right now. Good morning John Good morning. How are you guys great doing well You're not allowed to speak In the news show how you're doing They say they don't want to say how they're doing. No, they say it's a waste of time. I've heard that theory of radio I used to I will tell you this big B used to make us like tell callers when I was a producer

1:05:29I'm like, it's just dumb. Yeah, well people want to ask how you're doing people are people the other thing though, John I would say I got a sneaky suspicion. It relates to Fritz doesn't want to answer the question It's all about Fritz. You know what I'm saying right there. That's right. Yeah, I don't really want to know how you're doing I'm just saying good morning. Yeah, that's a good morning. Yeah, it's a salutation So you guys make my morning by the way. Thank you. And Ritt Ritt I think you are the hand that rocks the cradle I don't know about that boy. I like that. I like that. I like that. She was a murderer. No I don't mean it that way. I mean when these guys go off the rails you're the calming force I don't really know that I've ever been to stride John someone say I was the calming force in the all season when people wanted to blow up the team And I was like hold on a second here. Get a really good. Don't try and steal Ria's compliment, right? Also, don't take the victory lap on this take. It's been one game. It's been one. 96 96 wins. Lock it in. It's gonna happen

1:06:31Same team. Just gotta play better in October. I was rooting for you Joe till I heard you didn't you missed opening day Yeah, it's a little ridiculous, but you know how do you how to get those naps in But I was rooting oh my god I wonder we surprised when we go down The last time how many times? Yeah, spring training. It's a good one. We're gonna spring training I never go to the game. We go down to watch the game I thought that that was the the part that was most important And you talked about it all day. You made it a half. Yeah, but John I gotta beat my man John. I gotta be at my best from 6am to 10am. I'm here for you Well, thank you for that man. What a sacrifice you make by not going to the games. I'll tell you what plaques will go up in your honor WIP John. What's the rest of the most of the victory yesterday? Talk to us The Crawford hit it stood out to me like Sanchez no hitter I had to put my life on pause for that because you can say that you saw it while you can't say that you saw it well

1:07:34Good line good line. Yeah, that is something special It was great. It was it was very decisive. Yeah, I felt like nervous For him almost especially talking to him before the game and he of course he's not going to say he's nervous You know, he's saying he's prepared and all the advice and he's just gonna try to go out there and enjoy it But to see him do that on the first pitch the first step that was it was really Pitcher almost snagged it by the way. Yeah, he did put that glove up there and look kind of close from what I could tell All right, John. I need an answer from you my man body part in the title for Brian Adams tickets Okay, well, I had the winner But somebody stole it jaws Huh in tribute to Genji Uranus Look at you that the title of a planet Yeah, I got that a song hey speaking of the flyers with Jonesy they got a victory yesterday So flyers needed that so here's where they stand five points back 11 games to go For my money without like crunching the numbers
