  • E77 Josh Goldman visits Austin, Bryce Harper's megadeal, and NL East power rankings

    In this episode, Josh Goldman joins us from our sister podcast The Popped Cast to meet Zac for the first time (no, seriously) and to banter about rival NL East allegiances. Josh also encourages Zac on the 13 years of Bryce Harper that lie ahead for Phillies fans, we talk about how Bryce's new contract is long enough to have its own Bar Mitzvah, and we break down the new power rankings in the NL East.

    Oh, and we tried calling Pete but he didn't pick up. Lame. Pete, consider this our virtual heckling.
