one moment that stands out Jim of course unfortunately always well it's always great to see you but unfortunately not on great terms as we're still talking about the Phillies losing is that a roll tide or an Arkansas shirt there Jim that's Arkansas Arkansas Jerry Jones man baseball AR Kanas so uh last night Jim game on the line we saw Garrett stubs up to bats ninth inning everybody's wondering why not pinch it I personally just feel like Garrett stubs shouldn't have got in the start at all it should have just been JT and let JT rest another day go and try to win that series opener what were your thoughts on Rob's not pinch hitting for Garrett stubs would you have pinch hit for stubs in that situation I probably would have um but um and and sent JT up there and take a whack um but what we're seeing here and I I don't know this for a fact because they're very guarded with the way they do things and the manager does all the speaking for the team and he's the guy who raises his hand and takes accountability for everything but you know I wonder and part of me believes that the decision to rest him last night may have been made a couple weeks ago when he came off the injured list um you know you there's so much Sports Science involved in professional sports today and the Phillies are deep in it and you know when a guy comes back an important guy like that comes coming off knee surgery though minor but knee surgery just the same I think they map out a plan for him you're gonna play you know two on one off three on one off four on one off uh they map it out and you're going to sit this day uh for maintenance so you don't have a recurrence uh so we can preserve you for the season and so your recovery uh from knee surgery is optimized and I'm not sure the manager has a lot of say with that um he takes the accountability for the lineup card but again I have a feeling coming off injury a lot of this is scripted from upstairs from in the medical Department from their Sport Science Department uh I think that's what you probably saw last night if he had used a different pinch hitter you know and they extend that game to extras um JT is going to be have have to be in that ball game and they wanted him to have a full day off uh you know I know Rob will say that he thinks the off day is important for his number one catcher and he wants to keep him off his feet but I I I really believe there are more decision makers involved in that and they are very committed to getting the guy a full day off now if it was September and they're fighting for their playoff lives maybe but I also think some of their thinking in the moment is probably shaped by the fact that you know they have a very good record they're going to play in October even regardless of how bad they've been lately so uh I think there was some big picture thinking there uh but I can see why it's frustrating to people who are sick of watching losses and people who wanted uh to see one of their better hitters get up there and take a poke with the game on the line in the ninth inning very frustrating to get a man on base and then uh basically three popups right three first pitch swings three first pitch right so yeah that's I don't know if that makes sense to you but having observed think it makes a lot of sense having observed the team for a long time and kind of you listen to the way they talk uh and knowing that you know the days of the of the athletic trainer running out and spraying the the Icy Hot on the guy who gets hit on the wrist uh and and you know packing guys in ice you know those days are over these you know it's it's not just an athletic trainer it's it's a medical department and the athletic trainers are you know they're medical professionals and they I really believe they script all this stuff and and the manager needs to follow it um especially when it's not September and you're not fighting for your playoff life
