The Phillies Starting Pitching Is Stellar! (PST Episode 563)

The Philadelphia Sports Table | Philly Sports News & Views

The Philadelphia Phillies starting pitching has been stellar as of late. Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, and Ranger Suarez have shown us some great stuff thus far here in 2024. We’ll dive into what the Phillies starting pitching means to this early part of the season with Liz Roscher from Yahoo Sports and the Hittin’ Season podcast at WHYY/Billy Penn. Can they sustain this success?
But first, we started this week’s show by diving into the pay disparity between the NBA and WNBA. Are the salaries of WNBA players unfair? (approx. 6:20)
We then discussed the incredibly disappointing first-round series between the Sixers and Knicks, and how this Sixers team just hasn’t shown up. (approx. 14:35)
From there, we dove into some Listener Feedback about the Sixers and the Eagles. (approx. 26:30)
We then moved along with our discussion and gave thoughts about the new City Connect jerseys the Phillies have been wearing. What actually makes a good-looking jersey? (approx. 35:45)
What we threw down on the Table this week was a fantastic discussion and interview with Liz Roscher from Yahoo Sports about the direction this Phillies team has been heading over this past month of play. Specifically, the starting pitchers have mostly been a saving grace for the team. Can Johan Rojas continue to sustain his success at the plate? What’s the biggest concern offensively for this team as we head into May? Plus much more within this discussion! (approx. 48:50)
