Phillies Talk & Lineup Ideas
from Speaking of Sports · host Grimley Financial Corporation
Chuck and Ken are back with a lively baseball-heavy episode packed with Phillies talk, lineup strategy, and old-school sports debate. The guys break down Kyle Schwarber’s latest hot streak, debate how Bryce Harper should be protected in the order, and look at the impact of Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner as the season starts to take shape. They also revisit Ryan Howard’s standing in Phillies history and argue that his greatness still deserves more appreciation. Along the way, they touch on bigger MLB trends, including run differential as a measuring stick, before wrapping with a little PGA and golf talk. If you love smart, opinionated Philadelphia sports conversation, this one’s for you. http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPodhttps://www.instagram.com/speaking_of_sports/https://www.tiktok.com/@speakingofsportshttps://www.youtube.com/@speakingofsports
