The Phillies Ownership Is A Problem (PST Show #391)

The Philadelphia Phillies ownership is making the fan base crazy this offseason. Seemingly, John Middleton and senior management appear to be taking the 2021 "off" citing financial constraints. Joining us this week to dive into this perplexing Phillies organization is Ethan Witte, writer and contributor at TheGoodPhight.com. But first, we responded to some listener feedback regarding the Eagles and the Phillies. (approx. 4:00)We then moved into what may be happening with the NHL season, and what we're most intrigued about with this Flyers team as they prepare for the upcoming season. (approx. 13:15)Next, we talked about the moves made during the Sixers offseason that will most help and support Joel Embiid. (approx. 20:15)From there, we dove into how frustrating this Eagles offense is to watch each and every week. Is this the most frustrating Eagles offense we've ever seen? (approx. 24:00)This week, we're bringing back our "Up or Down" segment. Are the topics we get into this week - Jim Schwartz and the Philly sports podcasting scene - trending up or down? (Approx. 29:15)On our Lowbrow Segment this week, we're doing "Cohost Questions" where we can ask each other any sports or non-sports questions. (approx. 40:25)What we're throwing down on the Table this week is a great, in-depth interview with Ethan Witte from The Good Phight as we try to dissect what this Phillies front office is doing. Is it time for John Middleton and his associates to cash in their chips? If not, how may Middleton's role evolve over the next 5 to 10 years? Will Ned Rice and Andy MacPhail run the front office until a candidate comes to the forefront next year? All of this and much more! (Approx. 53:47)
