All-star closer, Kenley Jansen, we have a question. What's the best podcast of all time? Baseball Isn't Boring, baby. I'm Rob Bradford, and every single day I'm sitting down with the biggest names to show you this great game is the greatest game. It's my podcast. It's my passion. It's a cause I started more than two years ago and is now the most prolific national daily baseball pod there is.

Another fact, so jump aboard the B.I.B. Express. Follow and listen to Baseball Isn't Boring, presented by Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Yo! Oh, it is another edition of the High Hopes podcast. The first time in the history of this podcast, Jack Fritz, do we get to come on and talk about a freaking no-hitter.

This pod was already going to be a banger pod, folks. Let me just tell you, because we have a very, very special guest, a high hopes, like all-time get for us on this pod today. And we're like, oh, we'll just come in tomorrow. We'll record, you know. 15 minutes. Yeah, 15 minutes, because the big thing is the guest today. That's what matters that happens we were just talking before the pot i legitimately think it is arguably you know

outside of clinching a play like in 2007 when they clinched it was like oh my god the weight like that was a magical thing like 93 and chasing down the mess chasing down the mets the whole thing for me 93 for the first time i get to see my team in the playoff, like, that was meaningful. But, like, outside of a clinching game, like, Jack, arguably, the greatest regular season Phillies game of our lifetime, like, certainly up there between, you know, it was a, you know me, and I, shout out to the tweet, man.

Shout out to the tweet. I was welling up. Of course you were. I was Wes Wilson. I even thought about it. He stepped to the play. I'm like, what if this course you were. I was Wes Wilson. I even thought about it. He steps to the plate. I'm like, what if this kid does this? What if this kid hits home run his first?

And then the family and the whole thing. I got two families last night, Jack. I know. It's a big sell-through. In all honesty, I didn't cry during the Wes Wilson thing, but we never lie to the High Hopes listeners ever, right? Yeah. Michael Lorenzen holding his daughter on the field.

So we used to have the exact same little, like the way her hair, like she had a strip on top of her head. So we did the little like ponytail where it shoots up in the air. Like I welled up last night where tears were had. When I saw him on the field with his daughter, it was a freaking magical night. It was.

And I mean, if you ever want to like explain to people baseball and like and, like, why people love baseball, I think last night, if you just, the aliens come down, right? And they're like. It's my favorite way to explain. I love that. And they're like, hey, like, why do, because there's people who don't, who are casual baseball fans or casual sports fans. Like, yeah, baseball is boring, yada, yada, yada. Like, how do you like that? It's so boring.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think that was, like, the best impersonation I think I've ever heard. If you just showed him, all right, why do people love baseball? And you put on last night's game. And by the way, I'm calling him Weston Wilson. Because I think he sounds- Wes Helms, too Wes Helms-y. Exactly.

But also, it just sounds like a Duke. It's a much cooler name, Weston Wilson. There's a class to it. Yeah. I'm Weston Wilson. Weston Wilson. I think he does a class to it. Yeah. I'm Weston Wilson. Weston Wilson. I think he does need to start talking in an accent like that. Pretty sure.

I agree with you. I mean, Weston Wilson is a Brit. I mean, there's no other way to put it. Yes. And I hope UK Philly is like my British impersonation right there. Shout out to Dave Shaw. I'll tell you. You know who texted me at 4 o'clock in the morning when I'm prepping for my show?

Can't wait for the pod. Our buddy Dave. Well, that's because it was like 9 a.m. out there. I know it was. I'm just saying. It was fun for me because everyone's asleep when I'm prepping for my show. Can't wait for the pod. Our buddy Dave. Well, that's because it was like 9 a.m. out there. I know it was. I'm just saying it was fun for me because everyone's asleep when I'm prepping and then I got to talk to Dave this morning. That's nice. So, yeah. So, Weston Wilson goes yard. Nick Chiasi now has already went yard.

And then he's number 200. Yeah. It's not very often a guy hits his 200th home run and 200th home run in a game and it's like an afterthought. It's the third biggest thing that happened. Like, we stopped the game. And as ridiculous as it ridiculous as we stopped the game for jeans and girls 200 double yeah we gave him a freaking curtain call on the field we yeah gene whatever started it but the point is like a 200 run is it like that's a big moment for nick you know frankly i'm surprised he just got a 200 i mean i know he played i thought he would have been there already I think it's closer to 300 than 200 and then

it's just baseball more than any other sport and I said this on the final night last night but it just leads to so much more and it's so weird because I feel like I'm the crazy one but I hear more and more stories about it about like I welled up at this

I think we're always crying about baseball and I don't know what it is about baseball but it's about like, I welled up at this. I welled up at that. Yeah. I think we're always crying about baseball. And I don't know what it is about baseball, but it's just like it has so much like tear-inducing moments. I mean, you hear about like Weston Wilson, you know, 28 years old. And the 3,000. Seven years or whatever in the minors, the whole thing. Right. And his whole family's there.

And then he has that moment. And Liam Castellanos is running up. Dude, Liam Castellanos. He's threatening the fanatic to be who should be the mascot of this team right now. I love the kid. He's, like, right next to Lorenzen's parents. I know, I know. I love that kid.

He's the best, that kid, giving his dad the signs. Like, Liam, you are the best, buddy. We love you, man. Seriously. He is the GOAT. But it's just, like, there's so much. So, obviously, we don't even know Mike Lorenzen goat but um but it's just like there's so much well like so obviously we don't even know michael lorenzen right like he just got here this is his second start as a philly it's the first time he pitched in that ballpark yeah yeah and and it's

like he's going out there for the ninth and full disclosure like after the sixth i was like hold on he's not like no there's no way he's gonna get there i was like after the fifth i was like oh this is gonna be a combine no-hitter. Dude, I looked up in the moment. I'm like, what's the most? I got to know. It was 107. I was like, there's no way he's getting to the end of this game.

Like, no way. Because I'm already concocting in my head how to spin the whole, like, well, combine no-hitters. I didn't really. Not all combine no-hitters are Mickey Mouse. You know, this one because of this. Kimbrel was involved in these all-timers. Exactly. We'll remember where we were for the Phillies 2023.

It is such a day. I used to give you a little crap on that one. It is like, without a doubt, I actually have come around fully to the side where I don't think it should be called a no-hitter unless it's one dude. It's not interesting. It's not. It's a shutout. Yes, it's a no-hitter.

It's a no-hit shutout, but not a no-hitter. How about that? We'll call it a no-hit shutout. Yeah, right. And then he starts doing it, and I'm like, I guess I didn't expect it to feel as cool as it did. I totally agree with you, man. I totally agree with you. And the eighth was done so fast, and I was like, dude, he's freaking three outs away.

He's 100% going out. And people were like, well, at's freaking three outs away. He's 100% going out. And people were like. Well, at that point, it was obvious. Of course he was going back out. I had more of a question. And I thought he would send him out there until he got a hit or whatever. But I was more unsure after the seventh if he would go out. But once he pitched eighth, I was like, Topper knows he has to let this kid go out here.

Although Topper postgame was hilarious. He's like, I told him to pitch quick. Well, no. No, Yoss said... Oh, the bulletproof pass. He's like, yeah. He's like, did you think about... Well, because he's got to give him 20 more pitches. He ended up having 24 more at that point. But the great follow-up from the guy where he was like, oh, yeah, I would have gone and pulled him. And he's like,

wait a minute, wait a minute. You're saying if he walks that batter, you're going to go pull him after that batter? And he's like, I might have to wear a bulletproof vest yeah he's all time dude he is i like i like happy topper me too dude i mean the post-game speech where he's like welcome to philadelphia buddy you know i i think it was a small thing but it was almost like this is what we do here this is what this is what the fans totally man and and this is this is like welcome to winning is this like that's what i kind of took it as like you've been a part of detroit cincinnati uh the angels like welcome to real baseball and i

think that thompson having that connection with the city i think is really special totally and i took it not just as i totally agree with you it's welcome to like a real a real run and a real contender but i also took it as like welcome to this group like welcome because that was the thing we've talked about this so much since the run last year and how it's carried over and all that but i feel like this week especially with the trey thing and we you know we talked about i mean he's talking about a week of tears right dude like the cassie thing and the players talking about how much men and harper's comments and stats comments and all that stuff and then last night like one of the things that stood out to me the most was when he's doing his interview on the field like those guys

are all gone like the people do the water but everyone goes to the dugout they were all in the top step with their arms around each other waiting to like waiting for him to finish his freaking interview i'd never seen that like i hadn't seen them do that at any point man like it's just i think there was something about like not just welcome to philly but welcome to this like family like they look at it as a family and they love each other and i think it was like welcome to this man yeah i thought it was like Cassius has arm around like Caleb. And Jake Cave. I think it was.

I think it was Caleb. What's like Jake Cave on the other. I'm like, okay. I guess he's our group there. Yes. Our guys. There are guys. And Lorenzen after the, you know, with his speech talking about like, love you guys.

Thank you for like welcoming me. He said, and also with the speech on the field talking about the fans. He's like, they gave me a boost. That crowd being behind me like that helped me get through it. Crazy concept. What a thought. It's been a week, man. It's been like an all-time Phillies week.

And it's just so hard. So last year, all the moments pretty much came in the postseason, right? But I think what bonds a fan base to a team is a regular season, like they're currently doing right now, where it's like you have the OV. And now a group of mercenaries, they went on the run last year and became our guys. Now they're turning into, like, legends. You know what I mean?

And that's the difference. So, like, 07 to 11 like obviously oh it was magical but like we got to know those guys 09 10 11 and obviously it crumbled after that but like we got to to figure out who they were and what they were about we're starting to figure that out about this team i mean casting i was in year two is unbelievable schwarber is Schwarber. Bryce is the best. The young kids, Bryce and Scott were getting along. They are turning even. I feel like we just know them.

We just know these guys. You can't convince me that the ovations over the weekend have not led to everyone on that team feeling more relaxed. Look at how they're playing! What are we talking about? The way the stars have played, the way it looks like they're having fun. I thought early in the season,

they didn't look like they were playing their best at home because I felt like they were tight. And I felt like... There was pressure. There was 100% pressure. And I think the fans, anything that wasn't the magic of last year, they were like,

oh, come on, we've got to recreate that. And I thought the play on the field resembled that. And I think the players felt the fan energy. And by having the ovations and having that last weekend, I think it just lifted a huge weight off their shoulders. I mean, think about how great Schwarber has looked. Look at Turner, Harper, Castellanos. JT's the only one that hasn't had like a moment since.

JT calling the game, getting all the credit for moment since. Ah, JT calling the game. Getting all the credit for Lorenzen. He called a no-hitter. The Stars, and I think that's why it feels different now, is because I think the Stars look like the Stars again. Hey, fantasy football owners.

Dude, I'm right there with you, and I think there's a few things. The connection to this team is honestly growing to the point where I do think, and obviously you have to win a title for it to be this way, but I think this team has a chance to be our favorite team of all time. I really do. I'm not kidding when I say that. Because this connection like I don't ever and they have to again they have to win it all like I get that but like the way that the connection right now and and not just the connection that we have with them and how much we love them but like have you ever

heard a team talk about fans like this like in my life watching sports I've never seen like and it's because of the Turner ovations and it's because of the playoffs last year. But the accumulation of those things, the playoffs last year and their experience of that. And then this stuff now, like, I've never heard, like, such consistency of, like, these are the best fans we've ever seen. We've never seen anything like this. This is helping us. This matters. This is a part of what we do.

We have, like, all this stuff. Like, I don't, In my lifetime watching sports, I know that we matter and we travel. I don't ever remember a specific team calling out its fans in this way in my life watching sports. Well, I think the Eagles do when they go on the road. Sure.

More. Sure, and they'll say, I'm taught, but I mean, man, these quotes this week, I don't remember it. This level of it. Yeah, and it's smart because it makes the fans feel even more important. Oh, it only intensifies it. Which is a problem for the rest of baseball, by the way.

Dude. I mean, the fact that— You don't want to come in here, buddy, in the playoffs. I'm just telling you. The fact that Trey Turner's turned it, it's worked, and he looks know, and he looks pretty good, even though, whatever, he's getting basics. We take it. Stealing some bags. Like, the fact that we get to, like, kind of say, yeah, we did.

Like, it's going to be a problem for the rest of baseball. It's going to be 100% a problem for the rest of baseball. Like, if we win the World Series, we're taking credit. The fans are taking credit. What is so funny is that, like, last night was actually one of the weaker crowds of the year. Yeah, it was only like 30,000. I agree with Rube. I listened to him driving.

It sounded a lot louder. It sounded way louder. A lot louder. I don't know why last night was the night where it's only 30,000 show up. It's so weird. I mean, it's probably because if I had to guess, it's a middle-of-the-week game against a bad team. Yeah, but they've been fine with that all year.

But a team that's never here. I mean, it's always here. Excuse me. Like the Royals, like the Royals. I mean, I'm just serious. Let's go see Kyle Isbell. No, but the point is like the Royals are never here, like ever. Like, you know, they never play here. These other teams so rarely play here.

Like we see the Nats every single year. I think there's a fatigue with that, especially when they're bad. So it's the best I got. Honestly, and coming off a double header, maybe it was like, I don't know. You're right. It's really weird. All I got is middle of the week in the Nats. That's the best I can do.

But yeah, even the 30,000 felt really, really loud for 30,000. Now, obviously, most people had gotten down into the bowl to see the final couple outs. But it's just August 9th, 2023 is going to be one of those, like, you look back and be like, what a freaking nutso game. Well, and I know I've said this before on the pod, but it's true. It's like, you know, we spend so much time with this team

committing to being a baseball fan the sicko like us the high hopes community you commit so much of your time to the phillies like obviously it's every night three hours a night two and a half three and a half whatever it is every single day and night of a six-month stretch it's all your time not to mention all the time we think about them all the time we talk about them all that stuff like like the regular season is a grind and it's fun when you're winning and all that. But like you watch every night for that. You know,

you watch every night for the hope that, that, wow, something magical can happen because it's baseball. And that's the beauty of baseball is that you can have a night and it, and it can be something less magical. I'll say it, but a Luke Williams type moment that is a magical night and a beautiful thing as a sports fan.

Or it could be something like last night where it's like about as magical as it can get on August evening. Like that's about as magical an August evening as you can have watching a game. And what I love about this team and what I love about this season right now is that we're starting to stack memorable moments. Yeah, buddy. The video yearbook is going The video yearbook is gonna be out of control. Like, honestly, like, real chances to

be a truly special video yearbook this year. Of course. I think, like, the 2023 Phillies, I think, are gonna be remembered as like, again, one of our teams. And the nice part about this is that it seems like it's trending that way. That it's not like last year's one-year fluke. You know, like, the night... Dude,

thank God. Thank God. I mean, it was trending in that way early. You know, like the night. Dude, thank God. I mean, it was trending in that way early. Thank God. All right. Because there would have been nothing more Phillies, nothing more our pod than to get that run and then just go back to being like the same thing we were for the decade before. Like it would just be like, oh, yeah, of course. But no, you're right.

And like they've been the second best team in baseball since June 1st. Like this is not like, oh, they're playing better. Like they've been really good for a while now. Ever since they got it out of their system early in the season and Castellanos talked about how he thought they kind of thought it was kind of expected to win and all that. There are so many things

you can explain away early. The point you made earlier, they figured it out. And they're a really freaking good baseball team. And they're a really good baseball team that loves each other and cares about each other and has this unbelievable chemistry going. It's like, they could freaking win the World Series, man. Like, I've known it logically all year.

I predicted before the season, by the way, if you remember. Well, you predict everything. And then they started 1-5, and that sucked. Yeah, well, only if they've gone the year before. I'm big on... Well, I think you've predicted the Eagles winning the Super Bowl like six years in a row. No, I haven't.

I predicted it. I didn't predict it last year. I predicted it... I'm predicting it this year. Right. And I predicted it in 2018 after they... I predicted it twice in the last five years. So that is a lot.

Or twice in the last six years. But guess what? I have never predicted the Phillies going to win the World Series. All right? Literally, in the history of this podcast, I've never once said... I think other than last year when we all thought in the moment. Felt like it.

But like before the season, I never have. I was expecting this type of team this year. And thank God, like this is what we expected. The last week has been like, this was what last October was. And it's here.

It's freaking thrilling, man. It is. It's thrilling. Thank God. Well, and it's making, it's here it's freaking thrilling man it is it's thrilling thank god well and it's making it's making baseball fun again like in the city and it's making it's making it's making and it's so funny you know people be like oh baseball's you know baseball's dead in the city no one cares about it it's like you guys were at eagles training camp today and i didn't hear an ounce of Eagles talk. No.

Dude, I turned people away. People called in and was like, I want to talk Eagles. I'm like, not today, pal. Sorry. It was like, you want to talk Phillies? You can get off. You want to talk Eagles? Call back tomorrow.

Boom. And the Eagles matter 100% here. They're the biggest team in the city. But there is something different when a city falls for a baseball team because it's every night they feel like something can happen. This is what it was like 2009, 2010. Totally was. That's why they set the sellout streak right.

100%. And when this city falls, they fall hard. We saw in October. I mean, again, to your point about the Eagles, in my career, my entire – and granted, you know, this is because I started right after the Phillies were good. I've not had a good Phillies team until till now but in my career like those three weeks a month whatever it was from the the end of the season till the end of the playoffs like a month plus like we didn't talk eagles on wip in eagle season and they were undefeated they were like

six and oh five and oh six and oh seven and oh and we like we couldn't get an eagles call in like because all anyone cared about was the Phillies. It's such a great point. We saw it last year, and you see it now. This city really just fully dives in when they're good. They totally care. And you mentioned how well they're playing, and that's true. But it's just like they can also be so much better.

Dude, again, yes, can also be so much better. Dude, again, yes! They can be so much better! And it starts with who's in the mound tonight. I mean, if there's anything that could kind of take down the five of the city, it would be 27. People are gonna

love when he starts game two of the Wildcard series. And I heard you guys talking about it today. It's just what it is. You have to to give him the ball he's going to be in the player i don't like there is like again unless he's hurt he will be one he'll be the two guy dude it's if now obviously it's not the perfect comparison because they didn't win the world series but like it's it's the exact same cole it's the exact same thing as Cole Hamlin. It's a carbon copy. I mean, like, now, Lorenzen. Except Cole showed that he could actually, you know, dominate. Like, whereas Nola was good in the playoffs last year,

he wasn't what Cole did in 08. Now, I think Lorenzen's better than 09 Pedro. Yes, I think so too. Definitively. But it's like it's playing out the same exact way where, like, he's clearly not the same player, but you also have to give him the ball. Yeah.

I mean, if you take him out of the rotation, you're not signing him. Oh, that's over. I mean, if you take him out of the rotation, it's completely done. Yeah. So it's just— They're just not going to do it. They're not going to do it. And also, you can't pitch out of the bullpen.

It's like, you know, again, whether Lorenzen or Ranger, whatever, those guys have pitched out of the pen. It's's like, you know, again, whether Lorenzen or Ranger, whatever, those guys have pitched out of the pen. It's just, it's what it is. But you see, you think about the upside of this team. But when they give

Nola the start and Lorenzen's piggybacking Ranger in a game or something, people are not going to be surprised. No, they're not. And then Noles goes, shove, Sibby.

Exactly, that's what will happen. But yeah, you start dreaming on the upside of them. And now that you have the Stars playing, now that you have Cassiano's, the July thing was a fluke.

Again, 11 for 94. You have... Yeah, he had a deal, let's say, under 500 OPS in July. Yeah. I think it was in the threes. I think he got in the fours. I think he was in the fours somewhere for July. It was like 425.

That's off the top of my head, but somewhere in that range was his OPS for July. It was like 425. That's off the top of my head, but it's somewhere in that range was his OPS for July. Seems not great. It's an even odd month. Have you noticed this? No. It's really weird. Check out his baseball reference page. Freaking like 860 OPS in April,

5-something or 6-something in May, like 9,000 or 9-something in June. The horrible one in July, and now he-something in June. The horrible one in July and now he's back up again. It's really weird. Turner looks like he's definitely back to being a close, not $300 million

Trey Turner. Not disaster that we need to give a standing ovation for because he's struggling so much. Now the biggest question for me is the bullpen. Well, NOLA. And NOLA. But the bullpen leaking oil a little bit. Yeah.

No, we've talked about this. And this is going to happen when you go six man that these guys are, it feels like I'm watching Jeff Hoffman and Matt Strom and watch these guys every single night.

Every night. And especially, look, Laurentin twice has given this bullpen a rest when it really needed it. I mean, obviously there's eight innings

in Miami. We talked about how important that was in the sequencing of the team. But again, last night, the dude goes nine, and they need that more. And Taiwan's done a nice job of struggling and then giving him innings and stuff like that. Oh, the Taiwan bit is all time.

It's the best. It's unbelievable. Three runs in the first three innings. Especially just like, I can't throw fast in the first inning. I'm good. Alright, I figured it out. Yeah, and then wake up, seventh inning, Tyler Walker's... He's gonna win 20 games giving up like a thousand runs in the first inning. I don't good. Alright, figure it out. Yeah, and then wake up seventh inning. He's going to win 20 games giving up like a thousand runs in the first inning. Who's our last 20 game winner? It's a great, I mean,

Halliday? Probably, right? I mean, I don't think Cole did it in that run in there. I was trying to think of 18 Nola. I mean, they were so bad in there that there's no way they could have. I don't think Nola got there. You talk about when he was third in Cy Young. I don't think he got there. I think he was like the high teens. So yeah mean since holiday tyler walker that's crazy yeah you know it's ridiculous he leads the league uh it's absurd but to your point it just it is really

exciting thinking about where this could go well it's just like now now i wake up every day and it's like i just i just want to watch it yeah just get me the game yeah it's 6 40 can't come soon enough tonight which has been an adjustment because i used to be a big, like, get me to 705. Oh, I know. And now it's like. It's a real change for you. Let me tell you, I'm very happy about the 640 thing. It's great.

Any extra time I can get, I will take. Although I do need to know, I mean, what was, like, no tweets, no texts. Okay, so. So, like, what was going on at the end of the game yesterday? So, I've not been tweeting during the games during the week as much. It's just, like... So, like, it's a whole bed routine thing. So, like, I...

It's very funny. This is very silly. But I... So, I go to bed the second the game ends. Like, I'm literally waiting there to go to bed. As soon as it's done, I'm ready. I brush my teeth. I brush my teeth during commercials.

I go to the bathroom, whatever I need to do. So, I did all that. And I'm, like, ready for the game to end. I'm just, like, kind of laying there. And I forgot that I... I plug my phone in when I go to bed. And I put it away from the bed so I have to get up to turn the alarm off. It's a whole freaking thing.

So it's plugged in. I'm watching with Emily. And Zoe's in bed with us because it's like we brought her in to watch it. And I'm just sitting there. And then I was like, oh, yeah, I should probably go pick up my phone now and tweet about this and text and stuff. So it was just like honestly in the moment. And I kind of like I've gotten really used to not texting and tweeting

at the end of games or other than like hey we won and then be done with it or whatever so yeah that's good I was there I mean I did respond to your text it wasn't like it was like late I mean it was like 10 minutes after the game ended it was like it was 8 minutes after the game ended alright 8 minutes there was accusations that you fell asleep they were concerned yes but I did not and I was there

and we spoke and all that stuff. Yes, it was thrilling. But now I was having an actual moment with my family, you know? It was beautiful. I did. Well, again, I'm sitting with my daughter as he's got a girl who has the exact same hair that my freaking daughter had on the field. I'm just sitting there, I'm like, holding my daughter

like, well, you know. Yeah, I wasn't ready to talk to anybody but my daughter. That's nice. It was. It was actually a really nice moment. It's a good moment. It's a good moment. August 9th, 2023.
