00:00To get to the playoffs? Yeah, I think this is, it is a good team. I mean, nothing's really
00:07changed with the regular season-wise. I think there are some question marks. I mean, you know,
00:13when you think about a really good club, I think the one thing you're thinking of is the Dodgers
00:17right now. They are the best team around. They complete themselves. They keep building for
00:23themselves every single time. They win, what, two World Series in a row, and they're still trying
00:28to build their team to make them better, although they'll spend whatever it takes. And I'm not taking
00:34anything away from John Middleton. Look, this Bichette thing, they tried. They didn't get him,
00:39okay? So what do you go back to? Well, you run back the lineup is really what has happened here.
00:44I mean, you know, you look at what the lineup's going to look like with the exception of Adoles
00:50Garcia. Everything is kind of stand pat and the same. I don't know if this is just feeling
00:58stale or this is a team that somehow, some way, is going to pull something out in the postseason.
01:07Do I think they're going to be a good team in the regular season? Absolutely. I think they win
01:10the NL East. But what does that get you? That gets you a bunch of question marks again. And I know
01:17Philadelphia and I know the fan base is going to be, you know, what do we have here? So what? We're
01:22going to win 95, 96 games in a regular season. Does that mean they're going to win a World Series? I think
01:27the answer to that has been already kind of thrown out there. Although one thing that we always have
01:32to remember, trade deadline. And it could be an interesting one this year because of the looming
01:39strike slash lockout in 2027, whatever's going to happen there. Who knows? This could be either one
01:45of those trade deadlines that everybody goes, or it could be one of those that is quiet as a church
01:51mouse. So we'll see when that happens. But I do think they have a good team. I just think
01:57it's a lot of the same team.
