Tyler Phillips

I have the utmost respect for every single person in that clubhouse.

I've looked up to them my whole career.

and my whole like childhood honestly like through high school on and these guys are like I go back to the word legends like to me they're all legends like these guys are unbelievably talented players and uh you know my call up was a little different like I had my upper mobility that's how I got there so I didn't feel like I didn't necessarily belong like I feel like I just forced the Phillies hand and they liked me enough to protect me but I knew that I was on borrowed time and I didn't want to go into that clubhouse and take someone's spot and

have that be like someone that they liked.

And then I didn't want to upset them by being like a bad rookie or anything.

Like I didn't know what to expect basically.

So I kept my mouth shut.

I was so scared to upset somebody.

I'm sorry, Frank.

Come on.

Okay, there you go.

I'm sorry.

He's trying to pour his own cereal, and he just poured the whole box out.

But yeah, I mean, it's nothing that those guys did.

And they didn't tell me, like, hey, you have to be quiet.

They're great in that clubhouse.

It's just the...

the amount of time that's in there and like from the understanding of like baseball and just being a rookie and being a new guy at every single level, you're always going to be a little bit tipped.

Um, unless you already know guys at that level.

So I go up, it was an upper mobility.
