"We're Not Wrong To Complain About This!" (PST Show #464)
The Philadelphia Phillies season has been consistent in one area - being mediocre. We're, once again, seeing a middling Phillies team without much traction. Can it change? Justin Klugh (@justin_klugh) from The Dirty Inning podcast and Baseball Prospectus joined us this week for a deep dive into this Phillies team and what we've been witnessing on the field. It was a great and fun discussion!
But first, we talked about the Flyers head coaching position and how this organization just hasn't been able to get it right for many years. (approx. 3:15)
From there, we got into some Sixers talk, specifically how it appears Tyrese Maxey is untouchable heading into this offseason, and Matisse Thybulle is not. (approx. 10:20)
Then we gave our thoughts on how Alec Bohm has been performing this season for the Phillies, exceeding expectations, and whether the fan base should apologize to him. (approx. 16:15)
What we threw down on the Table this week was an incredibly in-depth, fun and entertaining interview with Justin Klugh from The Dirty Inning podcast and Baseball Prospectus about how this Phillies team has been the staple of mediocrity here in 2022. Newly acquired talent in the offseason - Castellanos and Schwarber - haven't been able to move the dial, and this continues to be an issue year after year with free agent players. Girardi and his relief pitcher rule is insane. Is the starting rotation that mediocre? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 24:00)
