00:00we spent the entire offseason talking about the philadelphia phillies and breaking it down how
00:05good could they be what are the concerns what are the positives all these things well now that we've
00:10seen them for two series i get it's still a small sample size but as we sit here now through
00:15six
00:16games are they a good baseball team ricky bow right now i mean are you asking me are they a
00:23good baseball team from the first six games that we saw is that what you're asking that's what i'm
00:28asking you right now no they didn't play like a good baseball i mean you think about this for a
00:33second that texas rangers team bullpen sucks how many opportunities did they hand the phillies and
00:39the phillies just failed to kind of take advantage they took advantage somewhat on saturday they still
00:44end up losing that game these guys with the nationals same type of situation they don't have
00:51closers that come into the game and know how to close out a game what they're trying to do is
00:55piecemeal uh games together they would have been in trouble if if if these two teams had a closer
01:01the phillies would be two and four right now i mean definitely yeah and i'm just being completely
01:06honest about it you look at the lineup i mean trey turner 192 schwarber 182 harper 120 boom
01:140.095 that's your cleanup hitter baby 0.095 i mean that that to me is not getting off on
01:23the right foot
01:23adolas garcia is uh swinging the bat well so isn't brandon marsh so there are and and justin
01:29crawford but it seems like the bottom of the lineup those are the guys doing the damage i think with
01:35the phillies i think the one thing that you need when you look back on games you need to say
01:41xyz did
01:42the damage and that should be one two three in your lineup i mean anytime you you you really kind
01:47of
01:47look at the phillies you're not going to say well we need more out of seven eight nine in the
01:52lineup
01:52because that that just makes you a great team instead of a good team but right now i mean
01:58turner schwarber harper these guys got to get on track and boom they got to get on track or else
02:04they're going to lose a lot of games yeah you're spot on spot on but as we look towards the
02:08future
02:09like i just asked you are they a good baseball team you're saying right now no not the way they've
02:12played through six games the positive that i'm taking though is that schwarber boom harper and
02:19turner really haven't done much and yet you've seen that this team can still win baseball games
02:24because of the bottom of the lineup yeah that is a positive because if the if these guys look
02:29alec bohm's not hitting 95 to see he's not going to hit 095 this season right hope not yeah and
02:34i
02:35can't imagine that bryce harper is going to hit 120 this season it's yeah so if these guys start to
02:41get going you're seeing something we talked about all offseason this lineup could be deep if these guys
02:46get very well could be deep
02:49you
02:51you
