Chapter 1: 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.
Chapter 2: 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.

Chapter 3: 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.

Chapter 4: 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.

Chapter 5: 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. And the Spanish guys out there, uh, Ronnie Enriquez and, uh, Valente Bellozo. They just, they started calling them Pilon, which is bald and Spanish. That was just his nickname.
Uh, I like that. I like that.
Honestly, like that's like really the main one. I called him Gilbert one day on accident. Like, I don't know why that came out. So I just started calling Gilbert from there on out. But, uh, I think he was the one that we, we gave the most nicknames to. He said, you got me as Philly. Um, I like, uh, over on the, with the Phillies, you got Max Lazar, which spelled L-A-Z-A-R.
So I mean, laser just kind of works. Yeah. Um, Yeah, I mean, there's been a ton, but those are, like, the ones that stand out to me the most.

Chapter 6: How does Tyler Phillips handle the pressure of high-stakes games?
Yeah.
I mean, his name is Lake. You got the Great Lake.
The Great Lake.
That's his nickname, yeah. Oh, it is? Well, we don't say that, but, like, we see that all over, like, signs if people are at the stadium or anything.
Well, let me tell you, that's a perfect segue into, I'm going to wax poetic for a second. Just bear with me, both of you. So one of the things that I love doing about this podcast is I get a chance to meet people who I wouldn't necessarily get a chance to meet. Courtney, we wouldn't have got a chance to meet, you know, if it wasn't for this podcast a couple years ago. I cherish that.
I'm so thankful. And also with Tyler, so we met in Fenway Park. We did the podcast at Fenway. Now, a little bit of perspective of that, I'm standing around and I didn't know you at all. Zero. I didn't know you at all. None. Yeah. And so I'm sitting around, and I actually had interviewed Lake. I had interviewed Lake back the year before when he struck out Shohei Itani in a key time.
And like, oh, my God, that was interesting. You strike out Itani, and after the game, he was good. So I saw Lake, and I'm like, hey, yeah, catch up. Okay, we'll catch up. But I think I caught up with him in spring training. But then he disappeared. But I'm like – okay, you know, Tyler, you're coming off.

Chapter 7: What role does Tyler envision for himself in the Marlins' lineup?
I'm like, I heard you're sort of an interesting guy. Congratulations. Will you do it? He said, yeah, you're very nice. He sat down. And like I said, I want to come back to this is that this is one of the great things about doing this podcast is that I'm able to not only meet people, but, but actually, um, How do I say this? I'm able to appreciate people more than I would ever.
I appreciate your baseball reference page. I appreciate your Wikipedia page. But sitting down with you, I appreciate you. And, Cordy, one of the things, and you'll be able to sort of back me up on this, is that I came away from it, Tyler, and I'm like, okay, we have a lot of different people on the podcast, a lot of characters, a lot of personalities.
I felt like Tyler was the closest to the CEO of the podcast, the co-founder, my co-author, and that's Joe Kelly. I agree. And not the same, not exactly the same. So don't, you know, don't take offense or whatever it is.
No, I'd never take offense. It's kind of a legend to a lot of pitchers.
He is. But that's the thing is that he's, I think the biggest thing is, Cordy and Tyler, is that I come away with like, you're, you're about the business. You're about being a good pitcher, but you're also about just like, Hey, listen, we can just be ourselves, man. Like we can have a personality. We can, it's, it's okay. And that's for me with Joe, that's always been the case.
He's like, I'm a good teammate. I love the game. I take the game series. I like to look at different, the game in different ways, but also it is what it is, man. Like,

Chapter 8: What insights does Tyler share about maintaining mental strength in baseball?
I am who I am. So anyway, that's the best compliment I can give you, Todd.
Yeah, I appreciate that. I mean, that's something I learned this year. Last year being with the Phillies, you know, like I honestly, it's my dream team. I love that. I love the guys. 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.
He could jump on if you want.
Yeah, we would love to hear from Frank.
Okay, there you go. I'm sorry. He's trying to pour his own cereal, and he just poured the whole box out.
Hey, as a parent, that never goes away.
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.
