Phillies Trades At The Deadline (PST Show #324)

The Philadelphia Phillies made some moves prior to the trade deadline to help put this team in a better position to get that wild card spot they're aspiring to. But will the new talent acquisitions help to get them over the hump? Joining us this week to get into it is Paul Boye, writer and contributor at TheGoodPhight.com. Paul will take us through what these trades mean for the team and how this season is likely to progress from here.But first, we read some listener feedback about the NFL running back position and college basketball coaching. (approx. 2:30)Then we had a discussion about what we're looking forward to and anticipating as the Eagles, Sixers and Flyers seasons are approaching this fall. (approx. 10:00)After that, we talked about some of the breakouts, talent and surprises at Eagles training camp thus far. (approx. 14:20)We then discussed how Alain Vigneault will use the Flyers goalies this coming season. (approx. 18:00)This week on the Highbrow Segment, we discussed why sports fans somehow have an expectation that the sons or daughters of famous all-star athletes will perform like their mothers and fathers. Why do we believe the kids of sports stars will and should be just as great as they were? (approx. 23:40)Then on the Lowbrow Segment, we correlated Philly sports athletes with an adult beverage. A very fun segment to listen to! (approx. 34:00)What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an in-depth discussion with Paul Boye from The Good Phight about where this Phillies team is heading after the trade deadline. What will Corey Dickerson's impact be in the field and within the lineup? Why would the Mets let Jason Vargas go to another team within the division? How effective will Blake Parker be coming out of the bullpen? How patient should we be with Gabe Kapler moving forward? All of these topics and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 43:00)
