What are the hosts' initial thoughts on Tyler Phillips' shirt?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring, boring, boring. You don't get bored by baseball. Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you, you, you. Still have grown men run around tight hands.
It's Mookie Betts. It's Daniel Bard. It's Steve Aoki. It's Sal Tlamacchia. This is Brock Holt.
How did Tyler Phillips react to his former team's season-ending loss?
Hey, this is John Lester. Baseball isn't boring. Baseball isn't boring.
Welcome to Baseball Isn't Boring. Here's your host, Rob Rattler. There's no two people on the planet I'd rather be talking to right now more than... Tyler Phillips and Cordy Finnegan. Courtney, first of all. Courtney, how are you? Good?
I'm great.
I mean, we're in the middle of the... Look at you. You got a baseball shirt on. I was just saying that.
It is kind of a baseball shirt. It's a fall baseball shirt. It's the long sleeves. It's that spandex material. I'm just like right in the middle of Chicago fall, you know, right in the middle of it.
Rate this shirt, Tyler.
What unique method does Tyler use to excel as a reliever?
As a baseball player, rate this baseball shirt.
That's a 10 out of 10, always. Whenever you got the two-tone with the different color in the middle... Yeah, it's perfect. I'm a three-quarter sleeve guy myself.
Well, that's the thing. It's everybody else's three-quarter, but this is a designer baseball shirt. That's right. That's right. It's made specifically for me. Yeah. Well, there you go. And Tyler, man, thank you so much. I'm going to wax poetic about you in a second, but first of all, thanks for jumping on because you've got a lot going on. The addition of your family. By the way, first of all, congratulations on the addition of your family. Thank you. And second of all, congratulations on... you're a little one you're the older brother dressing up like a superhero i saw this this is great dressing up as the superhero that is older brother as a superhero but older brother superhero everyone go check what's your instagram account again uh it's lips underscore 34 of course of course lips underscore i'm gonna have to switch that up yeah i gotta switch that was a high school nickname
Can we start there? What was the origin of your experience?
Honestly, it's very simple. We were sitting there in the cages one day during practice in the offseason. And one of the upperclassmen, he goes, dude, we got to come up with nicknames. What if we just went with the last four letters of all of our last names? Like, well, that's kind of silly. And then he started calling me Lips. And I was like, all right, whatever. Like, no, it works.
I've got to be honest.
How did Tyler Phillips transition from the Phillies to the Marlins?
Lips isn't a terrible nickname. It's not bad.
It could be better.
In professional baseball, the nickname, it's Philly. The Spanish guys, they couldn't say Phillips. The IPS at the end always tripped them up, so they'd go Philly, Philly. That kind of worked. When I was in Texas and then I went to the Phillies.
Well, yeah, you're a Philly guy. And you were born and raised South Jersey, right?
I'm South Jersey, yeah. So I'm like 20 minutes from the city. It's always easier just to say Philadelphia or Cherry Hill if you're on the Jersey side.
Court, do you ever have a nickname?
Either Court. I always still go by Court. People that know me really well call me Court. Sometimes Finn in the sports world, but usually Court.
Okay. All right. That's not terrible. That's good.
That's pretty good.
Both of you have, I had, I had the worst nickname in seventh grade of all time of all time. It was pusser. And here's, here's the reason why. Bradford to Buford to Buford. And then there's an old show with the character as Buford T. Pusser. And so somehow that became Pusser. That only lasted a year.
What challenges did Tyler face during his time with the Phillies?
I was able to pivot away from it. So thankfully, that was before social media because I would not have Bradfo. I would have Pussers.
Well, you now know I'm going to call you Puster from here on out, right? No, no, no.
That is not allowed.
It's crazy how nicknames come.
Who has the best nickname of guys that you've played with, do you think?
Um, well from this year we had, uh, we were in the bullpen. We had, uh, Cade Gibson. He's a ball. He's a ball guy.
