Welcome on in, it is the final out, sponsored by Regency Furniture. Affordable, never looks so good. Jack Fritz hanging out with you here on this Tuesday night,
Starting point is 00:01:39 and yes, it might be a quarter past 11, but I'll tell you what, it might be a quarter past 11, but I'll tell you what it is Beyond worth it when you have a comeback like that I mean what a ballgame a lot to get into but overall they've had a couple of these like, okay That's the win of the season Add that to the mix. That was an unbelievable comeback when the fight was there and You know this ballclub Whether you want to say fight was there and you know this ball club whether you want to say they're back you know I know people are very worried
Starting point is 00:02:09 about using the B word listen this is a good ball club and tonight was a really good comeback win against a team that you know I was playing pretty good baseball of you know in the last couple weeks since the all-star break a lot of no names but obviously some kids trying to make an impression and they just kept scratching and clawing and that's what we needed to see From this baseball team the game wrap-up sponsored by blathers Swiss lube and crevice The metal working fluid specialists providing professional CNC machine cleaning coolant maintenance programs and waste coolant disposal. Krebitz.online215.592.9494 to get in and react to again one of the games of the year.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It was a fun one. It was one of those games where I don't know even when they went down 6-1 early I kind of had a feeling that they at least have a chance to come back in this one. When we went 8-4, I was like, all right, maybe tonight's not the night. But they kept scratching. They kept clawing, and they ultimately came out on top.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And Kyle Schwabber, what a legend. The biggest takeaways of the game, brought to you by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. And like I already mentioned a couple times tonight, I'm they talked about a postgame but the resiliency and you know Two three weeks ago whenever they would bring up resiliency. I would just be beyond annoyed I think come on like I can't hear about how Resilient you are anymore. I can't hear Rob Thomas said I can't hear the players say it when we see them lay down we see them
Starting point is 00:03:44 Rob Thomas said I can't hear the players said when we see them lay down we see them Not showing that and tonight and the last series against the Braves like listen That's a pretty much a tight series against the Braves. They fought they've been fighting and I think that you know They they dug themselves a little bit of a hole I mean not really like they didn't give to the division But if they get down to five and they were playing poor baseball been going on for two months this team is as dug deep here and there was a lot of you know, 2023 Eagles comparisons to this team and I think they've
Starting point is 00:04:16 Dispelled that notion in the last couple in last like week with not Rolling over like last year's Eagles did with showing a backbone and tonight, you can't say it's the culmination of that on September 3rd, ultimately that's one in the World Series but when they talk about this stuff, it was nice to see it put into practice and it's what tonight was about. Tonight was about not giving up,
Starting point is 00:04:42 going down 6-1 early and not saying eh you know that's it's not our night and obviously the main guy that that didn't let them loose tonight was Kyle Schwab er you know a lot of guys had big nights Kyle Schwab er went five for six tonight and even the ball that that you could count as an as an error or a hit it it's a coin flip decision, hey, he put the ball and played with two strikes. He did a job there. But the three home runs were massive,
Starting point is 00:05:11 and there was just never a doubt in that last at bat, I felt like. I felt like he was right on Chad Green. He was balanced, he ripped the baseball off his foot, and I was almost just waiting for him to go yard there. I mean he is we talked a lot about Kyle Schwabber. I'm sure people say we overrate the importance of him on this ball club. I don't think we do. I think that guy is the most important Philly. Bryce is the best player. We'll get some Bryce thoughts going up here in a second, but like Kyle Schwabber is the most important Philly.
Starting point is 00:05:45 He's their leader. He's their lead off hitter. We still complaining about that. He is a grown man and it feels like when they need him, he's there to come through and really the top of the lineup. Bryce said the hit tonight, again, some Bryce stuff that was concerning, but Turner and Schwaber,
Starting point is 00:06:05 they had to get going. Schwaber was mired in a two for 26 slump, breaks out of it tonight. Trey Turner, three hits, but Kyle Schwaber, tone setter. Tone setter, that's what he is, that's what he is, but really, it was a whole team effort when we talk about the resiliency, like, really good at bats, almost shockingly good at bats.
Starting point is 00:06:25 And I say that with a smile and almost a joking tone, but like shockingly good at bats. This has not been a team that I feel like puts together great at bats. You know, like they're a pretty aggressive team. They chase, they don't foul off a ton of pitches. Well tonight, I don't know what club I was watching. They were just battling with two strikes,
Starting point is 00:06:49 making the pitcher work, waiting for the pitcher to make a mistake. Oh, I mean, what a crazy concept by the Fells tonight, but they at least did it. You know, and they, again, when we talk about, you know, fighting your way back into a ball club, into a ball game, Little things like that. Wearing down a pitcher.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Oh my goodness, what a novel concept. But in all seriousness, that stuff matters. That's winning baseball. Was there still some signs of not exactly winning baseball? Like Stodd not getting a butt down the eighth? Woulda liked that. Didn't come back to kill him, but it could have. And little things, sure. But for the most part tonight, down the eighth would have liked that didn't come back to kill him but it could have and
Starting point is 00:07:25 you know like little things sure but for the most part tonight like those are the bats and those are the bats that the really good teams have and at least for one night we'll see if it translates over I mean that's really exciting but But really, the overall, just never giving up. And the pitchers keeping him in there. Even Taiwan, he loved the bombs of Vlad Guerrero. But besides that, kept him in a ball game. And Bullpen, for the most part, did their job. 2-1-5, 592, 94-94 to get him.
Starting point is 00:08:00 My second biggest takeaway of the game is, and it's been going on for a little bit here But I think it bears, you know talking about that We're sort of seeing more and more aggressive Rob Thompson you know Rob Thompson for a majority of the season has been labeled as passive and kind of sits on his hands and let's his Guys just do their thing and I hope they come out of it But I thought he's aggressive tonight, you know, not just letting Tyler Phillips, you know, hang out there to dry and going to banks early in the game. And then he extended Taiwan, but at the same time, like at the situation where you're losing,
Starting point is 00:08:38 you need some innings because you worked your bullpen a lot against the Braves. You can't just run everyone into the ground even in a game that you're losing so he extended him an inning Tie one to his credit was pitching pretty well I don't like fault Rob Thomas with that decision and then he was aggressive pinch hitting wise So he could have let Johan Rojas hit but he went to Cody Clemens and Cody Clemens Rewarded him. So, you know, there's some situations where Castellanos obviously taking out the game with an injury Weston Bolson had to go in They're like it was a tight roster crunch tonight You know there's situation late in the game where I think if Marsh started the game in centerfield and you had Rojas off the bench
Starting point is 00:09:14 You could have pinch hit Hayes for Marsh, but he couldn't do it because he didn't have a center fielder But I think overall you're starting to see Rob Thompson get more aggressive here and trying to go for wins and getting a win tonight It's huge because the Brewers lost and it gives you an extra game when you're looking for that Looking for that buy and given some of the injury concerns right now I think the the bike could be a big thing for this team. Let's go to the phones here and talk to Kenny from the dirty 30 it's a late call for you Kenny. What's happening brother? I Was watching this game and this team is just driving me crazy I thought the season was over I'd given up on them and they just turn around and make me want to love them again
Starting point is 00:09:52 I think that's I think that's everyone like I would say that's a majority of people where it's like man. They stink they're they're over they're done and then bang They just they fight and then come back and win a ball a ballgame It's it's pretty wild Kenny I mean, it's the it's the ebbs and flows the roller coaster of a baseball season just when you think I'm out They pull me back in no one better. Yeah guys if I couldn't you want the death first inning? I was so frustrated. I'm like, you know, we're in a penetration. We're throwing these kids out there They have no business pitching and then the Phillies like we got you
Starting point is 00:10:27 We got you and they came back. It was great. It just kind of reminds me of that. You know 2018 I mean you just couldn't turn the TV off cuz you never knew what's gonna happen Well, at least early in the season that they had that oh wait factor They definitely lost it for about a month and a half there. But yeah, I think these I think these last Really, you know, the Braves series was a blip They've been playing pretty good baseball since the the Nationals and Marlins series But now they're starting to do it against better teams, you know, like the winning on Kansas City You know home versus the Astros three or four against the Braves and the Blue Jays while not great on paper
Starting point is 00:11:00 I think they're 22 and 18 since the all-star break, which is the tie for the best record in the AL So like they're just they're starting to get back to where they were in the beginning of the season Kenny And I think I heard Jody Mack say that that starting pitcher for the Blue Jays today is like undefeated against the Phillies with like a One point something here. Hey, but not today. Yeah, Bassett was Five and oh, we're four and oh in five starts in one point six the RACs. He's been good They they they did their job today Kenny. I mean that was again I don't think I've ever seen the Phillies be that locked in at the plate offensively I mean, they could score 20 runs tonight if they can get a hit with the runners touring position
Starting point is 00:11:36 I tell you what I just it was nice. Yeah. Yes. It's a late call. It's worth staying up for and uh, yeah I'm just in a good mood and just had to share it with everybody. Yeah Talk to you soon and It was it was a roller coaster kind of game, you know tile or Freudian slip there Tyler Phillips went out and just doesn't have it. You know, it's a He his last three starts really got exposed. I mean his his ERA was like 13.5. And then he went to AAA. And in two starts there, he led five and four runs. Came back up tonight.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Just not a major league pitcher. You know, he had a good run. It was a really fun story. He's not a big leader. He's more of a quad A guy. And we'll see what they do next time around. you know, just this Taiwan pitches way right back in there Colby Allard can't come up until until September 10th So again, there's some some things to talk about or there's some things for them to talk about
Starting point is 00:12:35 but ultimately, I think we we've Run out of steam on the on the Tyler Phillips kind of bandwagon 215 592 9494 to get in on the other side the injury report with two big things to watch and Guy might have earned a playoff spot tonight. We'll get to that cone up next here on the final out on sports radio 94 WIP What's better than watching your team win winning money while you do it?

Swung on blasted deep right field it's so long gone and the Phillies lead it on a three run homer by Kyle Schwab or his third home run of the night What a night for Schwab er and the Phillies who now lead it ten to eight Here in the ninth inning. I mean, did we just get a preview of playoff fransky in September?
Starting point is 00:14:26 That felt a little playoff fransky ish. That's a big spot big home run and there's nothing better There's nothing better than when LA does the like, oh, I mean It just it puts smile on your face instantly and listen it felt like a nice little preview I don't know the the blue Jays, I don't think we'll sniff, sniff October this year, but it felt like a playoff home run. Also felt like a playoff game, because LA was on the road. I know, I mean, what a grinder, you know?
Starting point is 00:14:55 I mean, who's put on a more of a grinder appearance than I buzzed? Me, with the, now, we make a joke about pregame. It was not, I didn't have to do an extra two minutes, but it felt like it. And then, or LA on the road, or me having joke about pregame. It was not in have to do an extra two minutes But it felt like it and then or or LA on the road or me having to do postgame having your postgame from your house Yeah, yeah, who's more of a grinder LA? Well LA cuz he actually not only did he go on the road He left the country to do it. He did Wow. I mean what a true what a true hero But listen when they when they come back and that because I buzzed on a 6-1
Starting point is 00:15:24 I was like this is to be a late post game show and it's going to be a disappointing one. But they scratch, they clawed and they want a ballgame and schwarber. I mean, that is obviously the play of the game sponsored by Mike's Amazing, the official Mayo and Mustard of the Phillies. Like. There's just nothing there's nothing like a a schwarbomb. You know, it's like it's like Howard
Starting point is 00:15:45 it reminds me of that like going Bryce hits one there they're awesome, but like when he like Launches a baseball. It's just it's it's like heaven. It really is It's an unbelievable the Phillies record tonight for leadoff home runs in a season Nice and I haven't looked it up but I wonder how far behind J-Roll is he? I think he for this all like total in his career. I think he's at 30 for his career. I don't know what he's at his first career. I know he broke the record. 11 was the Phillies record. He's at 12 and I believe 13 is the record for like a season in baseball history so he's like two away. We're taking down Ricky Henderson. It has to be Ricky Henderson that does that but yeah
Starting point is 00:16:28 it's just either him or Alfonso Soriano maybe I want to say this. It might be Soriano. I think that's who they said it was I'll go back and look. He but but like when he leads off the game with the home run it's it's it's the best I mean sure bombs are just they're just different and as the games get bigger, you know, it feels like they just leave the bat faster. I mean, it feels like we wasted too much time with the leadoff debate. I mean, he is, it's unconventional, I get it.
Starting point is 00:16:58 But like having him there, having that presence there, is just a different element that a lot of teams don't have. I mean, but man, three home runs, a big one in the ninth, and just a good ball player. Just a good ball player. Get some other thoughts here on tonight, but let's go back to the phones. Scott's in Delaware. What's happening, Scuder? How's it going?
Starting point is 00:17:24 Big win tonight, Scott. in Delaware. What's happened to go to How's it going big win tonight Scott big win? I? Tell you what the last couple of games like Come back from a you know down Early, you know like the offense is picking up For pitching like they were doing earlier in the you know season you know well it's interesting because I think the pitching's actually been really good outside of the fifth starter spot but I think they've done a better job of just putting together more competitive at bats like we haven't seen them giving
Starting point is 00:17:57 away many recently they've had their spells you know before the marsh home run they had gone like five scoreless. So but I would say tonight and the last couple of games. Yeah, I agree with you. I think that they're they just look more locked in. And actually they're more I don't know if it's the pitching coach or the change like I like we're talking about. You know, harbor it more doubles. It's like play the, just take the pitch and drive it somewhere. You know, use the whole field, Scott, use the whole field. Yeah. Yeah. And not like necessarily besides the Schwab on tonight. I mean, like that's
Starting point is 00:18:34 crazy. Great. But, um, like they're get up there, get a hit, you know, like they left, uh, how many guys did they leave before the Schwab bomb? You know, I think that guys on a second and third well, I think I would have scored two more runs, you know Did 18 hits tonight Scott did 18 hits. It's crazy, right? I mean like they they're like You know, and I think Castellanos I'm just probably saying it wrong but like you are him putting in the work Like everybody else is putting in the work. They're going like this guy's working. He's getting hits I'm gonna work on it. I'm gonna you know, I want to focus and and and you know
Starting point is 00:19:17 Try to drive something the other way or or whatever, you know, yes scott and I appreciate the phone call. I mean it's the old adage of like living and dying by the long ball and like I Think it's a tough balance because on one end I think you have to hit home runs like You have to be able to hit home runs it is harder in today's baseball to string together a bunch of hits because Obviously guys are better, you know, they have better stuff today.
Starting point is 00:19:47 It's all power stuff. Everyone's got a hundred, everyone's got this sweeper and all that. So like hitting home runs is definitely important, but like being able to use the whole field, being a tough out, not striking out, not giving away at bats, like that stuff matters too. And the way this lineup is constructed,
Starting point is 00:20:03 like they should have more of those guys. I mean, I've talked about it, it feels like a nauseam here, but Turner should, and he is at the current moment, competing for the National League Batting title, but the averages are a little bit lower this year, but you get the point. But Turner, gap to gap. Boom, gap to gap.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Cassianos, gap to gap. JT, gap to gap. Stott, gap to gap. Marsh, gap to gap JT gap to gap stock gap to gap Marsh gap to gap, you know that the only real power hitters right now are Harper and Schwerburn Obviously, you know Harper's is dealing with something here I mean might as well get to it The injury report is sponsored by the plumbers Union local 690 protecting the health of the nation visit plumber 690 org so I mean Harper Even on this so I first mean Harper, even on the,
Starting point is 00:20:45 so I first noticed that I thought on the hit that he got, he hit up the middle, smoked it, but he just, he looked like he winced a little bit. And then his last at bat, he swung and he missed, and he just kind of looked like he was leaning on that shoulder a little bit, and then he went back and just had nothing behind it. So, I actually wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Like you gotta start getting the guy days. You already won one up in Toronto. Chris Sanchez in the mound tomorrow. You know, just you gotta start getting Bryson days here. You extended a lead over the Brewers tonight, which is good. Get yourself a little bit of breathing room. Like he, I know he played the ninth, he told Thompson he was fine,
Starting point is 00:21:28 but he didn't look fine to me. And, you know, given the adrenaline that gets going in games, I'm sure in the moment he felt okay. But him wincing there was not great. They got four Miami, yeah, they have four Miami this weekend. So I just They got to be smart about this price thing because he needs to be as healthy as possible heading into October because if not, it just makes their job that much harder Alec Bohm did not play tonight again
Starting point is 00:21:57 I guess is he's progressing slower than they thought they still don't think there's an IL situation here But he is progressing slower than they thought and then Nick Castellanos left the game as well now They said it. I mean there the people said it seemed precautionary I don't know. It's kind of a close game at that point, you know Did did you have to get Castellanos out of the game? So that's definitely something to to look at as well I just got hit by a pitch and then was going first or third and then was out of the game. So, you know, maybe it was just a little bit tender.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Maybe they're being precautious, but given the current state with some of the injuries, I certainly don't need another one. Now, one guy, and you know, I teased this before the break, for me is earning a playoff spot is Cody Clements. I mean, that's a hard spot for a guy. What he did tonight comes off the bench, works in 11 pitch at bat, just, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:58 I haven't seen it again, a Philly do that. I haven't seen a Philly do that since Dobbs. It might be since Dobbs. I threw a Dobbs comp on Twitter tonight. Like that's Dobbs. That's a lefty off the bench, works a good at, works a good count, works a good at bat, and does a job.
Starting point is 00:23:16 By the way, the best, the best stat going about the 2024 Phillies is the pinch hit stat. So they have one hit in Britain, or one pinch hit RBI in Britain. Britain or one pinch hit RBI in Britain They have one pinch hit RBI in America and now they have one pinch hit RBI in Canada buzz That's gonna be a major league record. There's no shot any teams ever done three in three different countries How would it have ever happened? Listen, I'm proposing an idea
Starting point is 00:23:42 I don't know if they can do it, but get the Phils and Marlins down to Brazil and just have them team up with the Eagles on Friday night. They can play first and then bring the Braves. You don't even have to send them that far. Play the game in the Bahamas. You could go four for four. It's not that far.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Just see if we can keep this bit going, because it's an all timer. I mean, it is a little bit different. They had two games in Canada get one in and they got it in And two in London never a doubt, but he worked 11 pitch it back there He it a little squib or whatever like he thought off a million fastballs like that was again That's not easy to do and then obviously in the ninth inning so it gets the hit Clements up works at eight pitch it, rips the ball past Fladdy. Like, he's a professional hitter.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Like, I think if he plays every day, he gets exposed. But at least as a pinch hitter, Weston Wilson against lefties, I trust him. Against righties, not really. Like a nice little Hayes Clemens or not Hayes a Wilson Clemens thing I mean Hayes is in there too, but you get the point like there's there's something there Could there be could there be a bench maybe bottom maybe growing here in Philly? But man Cody Clemens, I was really really impressed with him tonight Two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four to get in on the other side we'll get to a look ahead to tomorrow something that happened
Starting point is 00:25:09 tonight that that makes me feel better about tomorrow and plus the player of the game all that's coming up next on the final allowance sports radio 94 WIP Bassett ready and deals the pit swung on hit deep right field on a line Springer turns and that one is gone and Kyle Schwaber Locked in again. He's three for three with a pair of homers and a double and It's now a two run ballgame at six to four The second of the three home runs for Kyle Schwaber tonight our player of the game three home runs for Kyle short where tonight our player of the game sponsored by South Jersey Gas Conserve helping customers and the community save energy
Starting point is 00:25:48 and money visit South Jersey gas.com slash conserve let's go to the phones Richie's in Philly what's happening Richie mr. Fritz one of the three baseball people I talk with only one of the three baseball people well I appreciate that as that is always the other ones coming up in about five minutes and jody mac who's that jr jody and you know i'm in my seventies and followed the phillies in nineteen fifty six and that but there's a point of that
Starting point is 00:26:15 is a ten-year-old point of that these people that call while i was down and i was really did this is not football you know that jack i know that baseball runs even the good teams it runs in cycles okay it's not football you know like a game where you get really down I would never was down to Philly's Jack all year even when they had that that cold port I feared they were just hitting a cold street that's all like everything is like a street
Starting point is 00:26:38 invasion would you agree with me well you are obviously you have had more years of this than I have I Was I was freaking out a little bit and there were some low points, but I never thought they were like Yeah, I always have your number. I appreciate that but I never like always in the back of my mind I was like I just I trusted them too much to think like they're not gonna pull out of this and thankfully they had they have Exactly, and yeah, and your baseballouts through again, the great minds think alike Jack right, I really like Cody Clements.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I like the way he's hitting his approach to the plate. He doesn't seem to be over matched. He doesn't go to a lot of bad pitches. These are the little things that I like you know mm-hmm yeah well I think like just the fact that he could just keep found those pitches off like it looked like he just knew he what I like the most is that he knew 95 was coming or whatever and he was so late on it but he just did enough to to extend the at bat and keep waiting for the mistake and like that's that's what you want out of a pinch hitter like he want a pinch hitter down there and the first pitch
Starting point is 00:27:45 There's enough pictures that were short was up there Jack Tidus eventually he was found from pitches. Yeah, they're gonna make a mistake I mean, it's not easy I pitched in high school. It's not easy to make every pitch perfect And yeah, you're gonna you're gonna hang that slider, you know, you're gonna leave it up over the plate Well, it's frustrating when they don't do that kind of stuff though, too Richie like like that kind of stuff is Paramount to winning baseball and it feels like something when they struggle this go away from that they go away from approach They they look like they lie down a lot of first pitch swinging like that kind of stuff matters It can help swing a ballgame and it definitely did exactly
Starting point is 00:28:19 Exactly. Well, Jack before you hang up, it's always a pleasure to listen to you I tune in for you and then then Jody Mack and then you know With the other guy Ricky Ricardo and you know, you're baseball. I don't even follow baseball my ass I'm only 30. So I consciously since oh Three maybe like but I mean really like the heyday for me was oh seven on we must be anybody with a last name With Fritz must be right. That's right. That's what the people say Richie.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Appreciate the phone call as always. Tomorrow Chris Sanchez in the mound versus Bowden Francis who they moved into the rotation within the last month, month and a half. 0.62 ERAs and the move into the rotation full time. He just come off was the AL pitcher of the month in August. But Chris Ange has been good. And the thing that's actually most positive heading into tomorrow is that I think the
Starting point is 00:29:15 Blue Jays about to use their whole entire bullpen. I don't know who they're going to have ready to go tomorrow. That's part of the importance of working deep counts. Swanson no way he can come back. Chad Green no way he can come back. Genesis Cabrera I don't think so. That is a depleted Blue Jays bullpen. So, Phil's are in a good spot heading into tomorrow. But again, we'll see where Castellanos is. We'll see where Harper is. We'll see where Bohm is. I would not hate getting Bryce off his feet for a game Again that that bad the ninth was was scary

So I'm doing a solo leading off from my house, from this couch. And then I'll be back after the game as well.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Hopefully it's a nice little two game trip up to Roger Center. They escaped there with two wins. We're heading down to Miami. It would be good, good stuff. But either way, a good start tonight, a resilient start tonight and and and you know one I think we could be talking
Starting point is 00:30:29 about for a little while here. If this season goes the way we hope it does, as always, the final out sponsored by Regency Furniture afford will never looked so good. Thanks for hanging out with me. Buzz Wilson produced the program tonight. Jody Mack.
Starting point is 00:30:40 He will take you through the rest of the night here on sports radio 94 WI pay.
