As the Phillies sit at the same crossroads, with the same Christmas tree of dashboard lights flashing for a third straight winter; I find myself instead deeply contemplating the contours of ‘Jack Fritz’s Milieu’

Makes Ruben’s show look like trash, not as good as Section 10 for the Sox, but maybe one day, only thing I will say is for the last month haven’t been able to listen at all on apple will just a temp unavailable notice. I live in Denver so I hope that I’m not getting a regional blocking, but thanks anyways great show!
Good listen

Average Listener DO

I do really like the show. I think it’s one of the more informed Phillies fanalyst shows but it’s become a much harder listen recently since Seltzer never lets Jack talk and cuts him off/finishes his thoughts constantly. It’s gotten worse and worse. I don’t know how someone in radio for that long hasn’t been given any feedback on it. It kills conversations.
