Phightin' Words: A Phillies Podcast

I liked this show a lot. I think they each have unique perspectives. I appreciate their honesty on all topics. However, you don’t know when the show is going to record The timely and valuable window of time I have to listen to a particular episode often gets ruined because these guys just decide not to record, record late, post late, etc. No show on Friday after Phillies lose to Dodgers on Thursday? Give me a break. I needed one that day especially and you acted just like the team you cover, you don’t show up at a big time. I’m just sticking with zolecki amaro and Salisbury

I had kept crossed up in the rotation for a few years now, listened to pretty much every episode. I don’t think anything has changed here with the new show, it is for sure solid, but I think I am at the point of taking it out of rotation. With the first episode in particular, felt like almost 30 minutes talking about Walker, 30 minutes about lineup construction and then just rotations good, bullpens shaky, this is it for this group of guy folks talk to you Friday. Feels like there is a lot to discuss going into the season and they chose some of the least relevant most played out discussions IMHO. More emphasis on hot button issues than thoughtful analysis and I think if I hear Bob say “Now I am not saying (X), but kinda (X)!” One more time my brain will leak out of my ears lol. Either the show has drifted towards more WIP feel or my preferences have changed. Good show, Anthony especially has an incredible love for the sport that bleeds through the speakers. Not for me anymore, but I still would absolutely recommend a listen as there is a lot to love if it is your cup of tea.
