The Phillies At The Halfway Point Of The Season (PST Episode 575)

The Philadelphia Phillies are at the halfway point of the season. They’re one of the best teams in baseball, and have been exciting all season. What might we see during the second half of the MLB season from this Phillies organization and team? This week, John Stolnis from The Hittin’ Season podcast at WHYY and Billy Penn joined us to break down a number of storylines. What should we make of the bullpen, Bryson Stott, and the impending trade deadline?

But first, we dove into some Eagles talk, and specifically what Nick Sirianni needs to do to keep his job after this coming season. (approx. 5:15)

We then gave a brand new Top-3 list: the top-3 aspects of Eagles Training Camp and the season that we’ll be keeping our eyes on? (approx. 9:50)

From there, we discussed the coming college football season, and how the dynamics within college football will be altering once again this season. (approx. 23:30)

Then we talked about the state of the Phillies farm system, how it has developed over time, and some of the homegrown talent in the minors. (approx. 34:10)

What we threw down on the Table this week was a fantastic and in-depth discussion with John Stolnis from The Hittin’ Season podcast and TheGoodPhight.com as we analyzed where the Phillies are at during the halfway point of the season. Spoiler - they’re doing great. Who is the “Comeback Kid” and “Underrated Contributor” this season? What’s been up with Bryson Stott this year? What has the bullpen optimized this year? Plus much more within this discussion! (approx. 44:30)
