I want to give you my honest thought at that time base open

Bryce Harper at the plate I talked about it yesterday I feel like if you let Bryce get hot

he can get he can go on a crazy run he went a hundred and ten plate appearances whatever it was without

hitting a home run he it's two yesterday I don't want to mess with it so to me did not want to face

him they actually have a phrase for this now when you don't want to face

somebody they call it pulling a coal. I wanted to pull a coal. I wanted to be

cowardly too. I didn't want to face Price Harper but luckily to the credit of David Peterson and to the credit of Carlos Mendoza, I guess, they face

Price Harper, they got him out. But in the eighth inning, let me walk you through how I would

have handled things and I thought Mendandy was doing the same damn thing.

I thought I was on another planet.

You allow Peterson against Weston Wilson and the eighth inning to face the lead off hitter.

Because remember it's Weston Wilson, it's Buddy Kennedy, and it's Johann Rojas.

It's the bottom of the Phillies order who went a combined

0 for 6 against David Peterson in the first part of this game.

Once he gives up a ringing double to Weston Wilson.

The alarm bells are off.

And that is where I say, thank you, David.

I appreciate the effort.

Now I'm going to the bullpen. And I'm not just going to the bullpen, I'm

going to Edwin D.S. I'm not messing around. I mentioned yesterday on the RICO I

would have aggressively used him in the seventh inning in game two of this series.

It's not crazy. If you're listening right now and you say that's ridiculous, it's not ridiculous.
