The MLB has pulled the plug on Spring Training, last Thursday abruptly ending the season upon the Covid-19 virus becoming more of an issue with the public safety and wellness of the players being cited. That's not the thing that Rich from the Phillies Talk Podcast wanted to hear as we was still a few days away from getting to the first Spring Training season that he's attended. What did he hear at the stadium? Nothing but crickets. Matt Veasey and I talk about the travels and tribulations of 'no baseball' once again.
A little bit about a lot of things on the show today. The podcast is now aligned with Matt's great new home on the web for Phillies commentary and information, PhilliesBell.com - we're excited to talk about it, and Matt will have a link to the show right on his site now! Spring Training barrels on, we're talking about a couple Phils in the mix with that. My trip to Spring Training is coming up, and I am excited to see this, I hear it's going to be 90 degrees in Clearwater when I arrive there, so bring on the heat! All of this and Steve Granado with a cool Chase Utley video he produced, which you can link to right from here.

It was a win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillie Phanatic is in the middle of a tense negotiation turned litigation between the originators of the theme of the Phanatic and the Phillies organization, will we still have a Phanatic after all is said and done? Oh yeah, the Phanatic just had a nice makeover, he lost some weight and picked up some color.
Join Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey from MattVeasey.com and on twitter @PhilliesBell as they talk Phillies, upcoming players on the field that we saw today and some '20 season talk.
It's another edition of the 'original' Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey talking about that special time of the year, the return to the pitching mound by the Phillies pitchers and of course (we don't want to forget them) the catchers. We talk about the starting rotation and what we would like to see. Rich is amazed at how poorly Jake Arrieta's first two seasons of the $75M contract has been.
Matt Veasey's story on the plethora of pitchers that the Phils have invited to this Spring Training has got to bear some fruit. Find Matt's article right here.
All in all we're both excited to see what the future holds for this ballclub. Joe Girardi at the helm, it's some new excitement around the clubhouse. Listen in and subscribe for much more.
