00:00as we set the table now for the Philadelphia Phillies. Last year, very good regular season,
00:05extremely disappointing end to the season with a playoff loss to the New York Mets. But the team
00:11looks the part. It's just a matter of can they stay healthy for the remaining parts of the season,
00:16which means getting your pitching staff through to the playoffs. Zach Wheeler, phenomenal. Maybe
00:21the one of the best free agent signings, which includes Bryce Harper in the history of the
00:24franchise. Christopher Sanchez was very good last year. Aaron Nola certainly be a quality
00:29number two pitcher. Ranger Suarez started the season last year on fire, ran into some issues,
00:34and now we're seeing, Tom, even in spring training, still some back issues to worry about,
00:39which flared up late to end this season last year, all throughout the offseason. So there are some
00:44question marks, but starting with the Phillies pitching staff, it should be pretty gold this
00:47year. I love it. I love it. I love the fact that they bring in Jesus Lizardo from Miami.
00:53Their lineup is awesome. Are we going to see inconsistencies with Nick Castellanos? Is
00:58Schwarberg still going to strike out? Yes and yes, and that's fine because they have the pieces
01:02around them. I think Max Kepler's a solid player. He may be a big splits hitter. He may not hit
01:06lefties well, but when you have the other pieces around him, you have the power and the speed of
01:11the top with Turner and Harper. You have everything you possibly want on this team. Like we check off
01:15every single box you could possibly need for a World Series champion.
