Way out of here. This is Baseball Tonight, the podcast.

This is the Baseball Tonight podcast for Monday, September 1st.

Sunbuster only walking through the bowels of Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

It's going to be an abbreviated podcast on this Labor Day.

And, of course, it's going to be a clown car edition. We've got Carl Ravits. We got David Cohn. We have Eduardo Perez. We just got done what? Go ahead, Eduardo. He guaranteed no Rob Thompson on the way out this time. Why do you guarantee that? Why can me? I'm just saying, I'm not going to stop him after the Phillies lose the Braves 3 to 1.

A lot of times it shows you how high quality it really is. So you threw a splitter during the course

of your career. How difficult is it to execute that, to have that kind of command of that pitch? It's very difficult

because a lot of times the splitter will do different things. Sometimes, you know, depending on how

the seams are oriented, it may have more side to side movement, more horizontal action on it than

vertical downward tilt. He gets very consistent action on his, mainly because of where he throws it from,
