00:00they started off like crap they had a massive high they're coming back down to earth a little bit
00:04are they going to make the postseason yeah and then we'll evaluate what they do in the but you
00:08start worrying about injuries um you're always worried about injuries nobody they're now they're
00:13getting more and more injured but that you always worry it's a bad time though for them to start
00:17getting injured you always worry about injury injuries are like the one thing that will
00:22completely change a team whether they're playing great or they're playing bad yeah i'm not worried
00:26about i i mean they're gonna get they're getting some guys back right about that what i well yoshida
00:32that opens up from my perspective a perfect spot for roman anthony right who will be in portland
00:37tomorrow night uh and god willing uh yeah and needs you know 35 40 at bats and then he'll be
00:45back here
00:45so um but it's a they are probably i guess we all have to admit a sub 500 team and
00:54you're i maybe
00:56you're lucky that you're playing in an american league and which there are a lot of other sub
01:00500 teams so i i'm not i'm not losing my mind over it i i i am looking though and
01:05going that you gotta
01:07win these series and you gotta at least stay where you're at currently so well that's that's that's a
01:13different conversation like it's about that was the that was the conversation that i literally started
01:18at the start at the start no you asked was i concerned and i said no i'm not concerned but
01:23what
01:23would have to happen for you to be concerned there's still five and a half no i know this okay
01:27so like when you watch the team what what would have to happen for you wiki to be for me
01:31to be
01:31concerned is they would basically have to be um they would have to lose complete grip of the wild
01:37card stand let me ask you if they continue this is two series two series in a row that they
01:42have
01:42that they have lost yep are you going to be concerned if they continue to lose series no i just
01:48told
01:48curtis when i'll be concerned when they lose grip of the wild card spot okay but they're going to
01:53lose grip of the wild card spot if they continue to lose series but if everybody else loses they're
01:57still five and a half up the yankees are getting erin judge back in a week and a half yeah
02:02but the
02:02yankees are eight and a half up you're five and a half up so that means you have plenty of
02:07you've
02:07gave yourself when we talked about this early in the season you gave yourself plenty of um room for
02:13error when it comes to making the postseason if they were a game and a half up in the wild
02:19card
02:19standing i would be concerned but they're still five and a half up until they until the next closest
02:24until they become a game and a half up or maybe two games then i'll be concerned about potentially
02:29losing one of those wild card spots i just don't think that you can sweep the dodgers and get very
02:34high on this team and then they start struggling and losing series in toronto and pittsburgh and you're
02:39not going to start worrying like i i think both need to be you got to keep it a hundred
02:43on both
02:44ends yeah but if they make the playoffs so we're going to be sitting here are we going to be
02:47sitting
02:47there talking about if they yeah they make the playoffs but last season they made the playoffs
02:51and then got destroyed so like i i just don't want history to repeat itself but but that's it i
02:57mean
02:57that conversation then we'll we'll criticize them about what they do in the postseason right but don't
03:01you want to be playing well as you enter the postseason don't you want like you would like to
03:05like i feel like if you say and i understand the regular season and whatever but the the way this
03:10team has played has been beyond uninspiring like you watch these games the the lack of discipline is
03:18back the mistakes early on with sandoval on the mound yesterday like to me i am wondering if roman
03:25anthony's return will be enough of a catalyst to sort of give this team a jump start or do something
03:31to
03:31i was talking to ken on saturday like something needs to change between now and the playoffs like
03:37it feels like the adley rutchman the acquisition doesn't provide the pop we all thought it would
03:42maybe it's still may not when he's 0 for 5 on friday night it doesn't know like and i'm not
03:47losing my
03:47like any sleep over people like brad feels like he's not a number three hitter like oh who gives a
03:52crap it's just one lineup like let's not go crazy here nobody's asking him to be david ortiz
03:57yeah but like he has yet to um whatever they thought he was has yet to manifest itself with
04:05this team and so obviously their playoff team things would really have to derail in the way
04:10that things went well historically for them to miss the playoffs at this point i just don't know what
04:16the like i feel like the fan base will be still kind of like yeah you get to the playoffs
04:22you get
04:22swept in the first round but i mean it seems like you guys are changing your tune because we had
04:26this
04:27argument not too many weeks ago where i was like well my expectations are they make a deep run
04:32and everybody else not everybody but i think you curtis might have said well if they get to the
04:36playoff fans it's just going to be happy oh i i didn't i didn't say that but do you remember
04:40that
04:40conversation no no wiki you and wiki said that does this change your expectations yeah yeah yeah and for
04:46me what what it changes is i don't think chad tracy is going anywhere even if they make if they
04:52barely
04:53get into the playoffs and they get swept i think chad tracy is your manager going forward right
04:57i just but you said fans would be like happy that they made the bowl see they will be there
05:01most fans
05:02will be like you uh and i you know i don't think in you know in december looking back on
05:07the season
05:08we'll say that was a failure it's just frustrating watching this team tread water every night and you're
05:14sitting here like what are we going to do speaking of managers bob nightingale reporting that alex
05:18cora will be the next manager of the philadelphia phillies and so tough town i mean i i congratulations
05:25are in order for our guy ac or he used to be our guy sorry i don't i don't know
05:30what i don't know
05:31what the current why do i get blamed for things like you should be still friends with people i just
05:35blame i blame it on you okay that's what i did but i meant that guilty by association yeah you're
05:40guilty by association i don't think he's gonna like philadelphia very much yeah no no they're gonna
05:43criticize him over there so that's interesting alex cora will uh i guess maybe if that team somehow
05:51makes the playoffs things might change but that sounds like what the reporting is there um and it
05:57is it's 24 years of this incredible radio telethon wei
