Phillies Talk Podcast

It's an action packed podcast on the Phillies leading into Hot Stove season, but some mixed signals surface, as rumors of Zach Wheeler suddenly becoming available, over 80 employees of the Phillies were laid off this past week, including 'Video Dan' - are the Phillies that bad off? What happen to the several billion paid for the TV contracts?  We talk about this and more on this show, the longest running independent podcast on the Phillies.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/phillies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/phillies/support

We're about halfway into this '20 season, we saw some good, some bad, and it's certainly been all unbelievable . Despite the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Phils are getting this season completed, for that we owe them a great debt.  The Phils have now sung to a winning streak which is always better than losing... but Rich and Matt try to break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of this season so far.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/phillies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/phillies/support

It's a week left in the trade deadline... What do the Phillies do? They will not be adding anyone, I can tell you that. The team is snakebitten at every turn, is there still time to turn things around?  What has happened to two Phillies players that use to play very well? Scott "Jet Pax" Kingery and Rhys Hoskins struggle to show a decent season in the batting department. It's concerning, and maybe there is a reason for it?    --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/phillies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/phillies/support

Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey is back! But the Phillies aren't playing because of the Marlins, and their bout with the Covid-19 crisis... The first series in Philly doesn't go too well for the Phillies, but we talk about how bad the Marlins are with the infections on their team. We talk about the JT Realmuto contract, will the Phillies seal a deal with him before he hits the free-agent market?  Interesting cardboard cutouts and fan noise please our ears while watching, what do you think? Rachael says Rich isn't selfish to want baseball this weekend featuring the Phillies, while Cory says, yes, Rich is the only one that thinks Phillies baseball should be played this weekend. Someone has to be right! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/phillies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/phillies/support

The MLB has pulled the plug on Spring Training, last Thursday abruptly ending the season upon the Covid-19 virus becoming more of an issue with the public safety and wellness of the players being cited. That's not the thing that Rich from the Phillies Talk Podcast wanted to hear as we was still a few days away from getting to the first Spring Training season that he's attended.

The Phillies are playing Spring Training baseball, we talk about that, as the first home game is going on in Clearwater, Florida. It was a win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillie Phanatic is in the middle of a tense negotiation turned litigation between the originators of the theme of the Phanatic and the Phillies organization, will we still have a Phanatic after all is said and done? Oh yeah, the Phanatic just had a nice makeover, he lost some weight and picked up some color.

It's another edition of the 'original' Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey talking about that special time of the year, the return to the pitching mound by the Phillies pitchers and of course (we don't want to forget them) the catchers. We talk about the starting rotation and what we would like to see. Rich is amazed at how poorly Jake Arrieta's first two seasons of the $75M contract has been.  Matt Veasey's story on the plethora of pitchers that the Phils have invited to this Spring Training has got to bear some fruit. Find Matt's article right here. All in all we're both excited to see what the future holds for this ballclub. Joe Girardi at the helm, it's some new excitement around the clubhouse.
