Are The Phillies A "Stable" Team? (PST Episode 558)

As we look to the Philadelphia Phillies regular season, we’re asking the question: are the Phillies now a “stable” team here in the National League? The offense seems to be solid. The pitching seems to be solid. How will all of this play out here in 2024? Justin Klugh from Baseball Prospectus and the Hittin’ Season podcast at Billy Penn/WHYY joined us for a dive into what we can expect this coming season!

But first, March Madness is here! We discussed which tournament we’re looking forward to most: the Women’s or the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament. (approx. 6:30)

We then gave our thoughts on QB Kenny Pickett becoming the Eagles backup quarterback to Jalen Hurts. (approx. 12:30)

From there, we talked about how Flyers head coach John Tortorella benched the Captain, Sean Couturier, and what it means for the team. (approx. 21:00)

We then moved along, giving our thoughts on the Union’s uninspiring start to the season with zero wins and three draws. (approx. 28:55)

We then dove into aspects of the Phillies bullpen that we’ll be keeping our eyes on early this coming regular season. (approx. 37:10)

What we threw down on the Table this week was an in-depth discussion and interview with Justin Klugh from Baseball Prospectus and the Hittin’ Season podcast about this upcoming Phillies season and storylines we’ll be following. Intriguing arms coming out of the bullpen this year. Mick Abel’s development and progress. The state of Johan Rojas and what he may bring to the team this year. Plus, Justin has some amazing hot takes! Plus much more within this discussion! (approx. 47:20)
