The Phillies Pitching And Batting Need Consistency (PST Episode 580)

This Philadelphia Phillies team needs consistency with their pitching and batting. Yet, as we know, the sky isn’t falling. They are currently 7 games up in the NL East. This week, Eric Moratelli from ThatBallsOuttaHere.com at Fansided joined us for a great discussion about this team from a pitching and batting standpoint. Will we see more consistency in the future from this very talented Phillies team?
