Phillies Talk Podcast

It's an action packed podcast on the Phillies leading into Hot Stove season, but some mixed signals surface, as rumors of Zach Wheeler suddenly becoming available, over 80 employees of the Phillies were laid off this past week, including 'Video Dan' - are the Phillies that bad off? What happen to the several billion paid for the TV contracts? 

We talk about this and more on this show, the longest running independent podcast on the Phillies. 

It's the Phillies Talk Podcast back just in time (when the clocks got turned back last night) for Fall. The Phillies have some serious needs, why did this team flop so badly? Matt Veasey and Rich Baxter is talking baseball Phillies style. GM search underway, maybe we'll need a new President. All of this including a little WS wrapup, and some schedule talk for '21.

We're about halfway into this '20 season, we saw some good, some bad, and it's certainly been all unbelievable . Despite the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Phils are getting this season completed, for that we owe them a great debt. 

The Phils have now sung to a winning streak which is always better than losing... but Rich and Matt try to break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of this season so far. 

It's a week left in the trade deadline... What do the Phillies do? They will not be adding anyone, I can tell you that. The team is snakebitten at every turn, is there still time to turn things around? 

What has happened to two Phillies players that use to play very well? Scott "Jet Pax" Kingery and Rhys Hoskins struggle to show a decent season in the batting department. It's concerning, and maybe there is a reason for it? 

Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey is back! But the Phillies aren't playing because of the Marlins, and their bout with the Covid-19 crisis... The first series in Philly doesn't go too well for the Phillies, but we talk about how bad the Marlins are with the infections on their team.

We talk about the JT Realmuto contract, will the Phillies seal a deal with him before he hits the free-agent market? 

Interesting cardboard cutouts and fan noise please our ears while watching, what do you think? Rachael says Rich isn't selfish to want baseball this weekend featuring the Phillies, while Cory says, yes, Rich is the only one that thinks Phillies baseball should be played this weekend. Someone has to be right!

It's here, July 4th Weekend, normally festive time of year for the patriotic among us. Plenty to be patriotic about this year, love your country and of course we love our Phillies, that's why we do the podcast. There's a pandemic still among us, the players are really starting to take notice now as it is affecting their own ranks now that there is steady testing going on. Where will that lead the season? Will we make it to the playoffs? All this with Rich Baxter from FightinPhillies.com (the home of Phillies Talk Podcast for many years) and Matt Veasey of PhilliesBell.com - follow him on social media everywhere at @RingTheBell - talking Phillies baseball.

It's the Phillies Talk Podcast, we're back and happy to be the longest-running independent internet show on the Philadelphia Phillies. It's Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey talking with MLB.com's Todd Zolecki on the possible restart of a Spring Training for 2020 leading into the shortened season, and Todd's new book, "Doc: The Life Of Roy Halladay" - which I recommend getting for a great summer read on Roy Halladay.

We're also talking about our opinions on the 'what ifs' and 'when' of a start to a 2020 season, all of the negotiations involved and all things Phillies!

We're talking about Jackie Robinson on April 15th on the Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey. When will baseball return? What will it look like? All of this and so much more on this week's edition of the show!

It's the latest Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter, Matt Veasey, and we're still waiting for something to break up the COVID hold that is disrupting our lives, and baseball. This week we talk about some history of the game with Lou Schiff from Twitter, find him @baseballandthe2 or just use the hashtag #baseballandthelaw - we're talking the anniversary of Sunday baseball games being legal in Philly and a whole lot more!

It's March 30th, around the world and around the USA, we are still on mandatory 'stay at home' orders so no baseball is going on, but Rich and Matt have carved some time out of our day to bring you an edition of Phillies Talk Podcast.
