Hittin' Season: A Philadelphia Phillies podcast

On Episode 47 of Continued Success, hosts Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher talk about who will be the odd man/men out in the Phillies outfield now that Bryce Harper is officially here. Will Nick Williams be traded? Is Odubel Herrera the long-term answer? What about Aaron Altherr and Roman Quinn? Also, the Phils are expected to challenge for the NL East title and are considered World Series contenders, ending a seven-year run of mediocrity that Justin & Liz take a few minutes to reminisce about. Also, did Harper seriously not take out a full page ad to thank Nationals fans? Some Natitude, huh?

(apparently, it doesn't), who is actually having fun this winter (Harper) and who is having the least fun (Jon Heyman). And maybe Scott Boras should just get his own Twitter account, huh?

The 1946 Boston Braves were ready to impress people. They tried to gut the Cardinals roster for talent and upgraded Braves Field in Beantown, including a flashy new coat of paint for the reserved seats. Days later, they had screwed up their home opener so publicly that they had to play the Phillies at Fenway Park. Join Justin and Trev as they ask the age-old question, is moving the Braves to Boston the only way to make them worse?
