Will The Phillies Get Out Of Their Slump? (PST Episode 578)

Will the Phillies get out of their slump? That’s the million dollar question as this team appears to have some recent momentum. But they’re still not firing on all cylinders as they were prior to the All-Star break. We dove into this team and what we’ve been seeing on the field with Tim Kelly from PhilliesNation.com. Can the pitching and batting get back to form?

But first, we discussed how Eagles GM Howie Roseman likes to get ahead of the market when it comes to signing free agent players. Which players do we feel he needs to target and give that contract extension to? (approx. 6:15)

We then got into some offseason Flyers talk, and specifically if this team may have a 1D defenseman on this roster? (approx. 15:05)

From there, we dove into the Philadelphia Union and how they’ve seen some recent momentum and an upswing after being at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Can sniff out a wild card spot? (approx. 24:15)

The Phillies haven’t looked great by any stretch, but it’s baseball, and we discussed how teams - even really good teams - go through slumps. (approx. 31:00)

What we threw down on the Table this week was a fantastic and in-depth discussion with Tim Kelly from Phillies Nation about the direction of the Phillies as they look to climb out of their slump. A look at Bryce Harper and Trea Turner as we assess what they’ve been doing in the batters box. Should Rob Thomson be held “accountable” for the slump? When might we see a 6-man starting pitching rotation? Plus much more within this discussion! (approx. 41:15)
