The first weekend of June sees the Los Angeles Angels come to Philly, (I am still calling them the Anaheim Angels) and of course Mike Trout who is the best player in baseball returns to the South Jersey hometown where he grew up!

Offseason musings on the Phils, waiting for the signal that baseball will start on time

This is the 2nd edition of Phillies Talk Podcast for 2022 - the start of the 16th season of podcasting by Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich again telling the listeners how the show started back in the day.

The Players Association will come back with a response to the MLB on Monday Jan. 24th, and hopefully it will be good news, a lot of news outlets are reporting it won't be a settlement but we'll have to wait and see.

Brandon Duckworth's birthday on the 24th, the show talks about that and then we take a look at Jayson Werth and Pat Burrell, and how they both made out after their time on the WS winning team in 2008.

The Phillies are retired numbers are talked about, I really think the Phillies have this right, don't retire everyone's number like the Yankees have for god's sake.


All of this and so much more!

First show of 2022 - still Locked Out!

First show of 2022 - still Locked Out!

It's still a state of baseball lockout, not what the fans of baseball need after enduring the 2020 shortened season by Covid-19 and then risking their own lives by attending a game or two or more in 2021 at the stadium and now the MLB owners decided to lockout the players and create a fiasco that better be straightened up soon. 

Should baseball fans flex their collective muscles by not buying any tickets when this is going on? This will put some added leverage on the whole situation, I know I won't be buying tickets anytime too soon. Should the owners even be able to sell tickets when technically there aren't any players? 

All of this and more on the first show of the year for the Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter for 2022.

Game 162 for the 2021 Phillies season

Game 162 for the 2021 Phillies season

It's time for another episode of Phillies Talk Podcast, the last day of the regular season for the Phillies. Disappointed that things just didn't go the Phillies way to get into the playoffs, but again, did this team deserve to have a change to win the NL East?

Phillies still have a chance at first place in NL East - last 6 games of season

Phillies still have a chance at first place in NL East - last 6 games of season

It's the Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter, the longest running independent podcast that talks about the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team.

A solo show this time around but there is plenty to talk about with the Phils still being a possible NL East Champ - just six games remaining and 3 of those games happen to be with the Braves, so if the Phillies can just keep winning, we may see them in the playoffs. 

A bit of a rant develops on the podcast, so be forewarned, this team could have easily coasted into the playoffs with the correct moves by management that were never made. 

All this and more on this edition of the podcast. Please be a sponsor of the show, for only the price than less of a cup of coffee, you can be a listening sponsor of the show!

Do the Phillies deserve to be 'buyers' at the trade deadline? Ownership gives green light

Do the Phillies deserve to be 'buyers' at the trade deadline? Ownership gives green light

It's the latest edition of Phillies Talk Podcast by Rich Baxter with Matt Veasey. We're talking about the Phillies chances to either catch the Mets or somehow turn this team around to get 10 games or so over .500 - is this team just spinning wheels?

Later on in the show, Rich and Matt talk about the trade scenario. Rich offers up a long shot of possibly trading Bryce Harper and get a boatload of good players for him, of course Matt explains that it is crazy to consider this, but with 3 years in, Rich says, he would part with Harp even though he likes him as a player. 

Bryant and Kimbrel to the Phillies? What would we have to give in return? Let's see how Dombrowski works it.

Phillies Talk Podcast - At the All Star Break July 2021

It's a mega podcast with Rich and Matt talking all about the Phillies at the All-Star Break for '21 - we did the show as the Phils finished out a win in Boston, thus putting the team in 2nd place at .500 - we could not have been happier with the win.

We talk about the All-Star Game, why did it move, and was it a mistake to move it. 

In this long show, we take a look at the Phillies for the baseball draft tonight, and who they need.

We reminisce about some old World Series memories that we have had, and tell some stories about that.

Wow, can't believe we are already at July 4th, one of my favorite holidays and an important one for the baseball season.

The Padres with their high-powered offense are in town, they got in at 4 am so they may be a little weary for Game 1 - but we have Zack Wheeler on the mound anyway, so all is good, isn't it?

Phillies Talk Podcast Memorial Day Weekend '21

Phillies Talk Podcast Memorial Day Weekend '21

What else can we say about this Phillies team as they have slipped to a few games under .500 now? Well, we can still say plenty. 

Girardi gets backed into a corner by the media, pro sports gambling is mentioned by the press as to why Joe G needs to be more forthcoming with the press? That's what they said. Joe said, not so fast. Who's right?

Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler, we are happy to have them both, who's the Phillies ace at this point?

The Phils come home to a 'full capacity' stadium, we wonder how many of the Phillies faithful will want to pay to see this team?

What do we expect from these '20 Phillies

We're about halfway into this '20 season, we saw some good, some bad, and it's certainly been all unbelievable . Despite the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Phils are getting this season completed, for that we owe them a great debt. 

The Phils have now sung to a winning streak which is always better than losing... but Rich and Matt try to break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of this season so far.

Phillies try to salvage bad 2020 season in August

It's a week left in the trade deadline... What do the Phillies do? They will not be adding anyone, I can tell you that. The team is snakebitten at every turn, is there still time to turn things around? 

What has happened to two Phillies players that use to play very well? Scott "Jet Pax" Kingery and Rhys Hoskins struggle to show a decent season in the batting department. It's concerning, and maybe there is a reason for it?

Interview with Todd Zolecki on his new book "Doc: The Life Of Roy Halladay" and MLB Talk

It's the Phillies Talk Podcast, we're back and happy to be the longest-running independent internet show on the Philadelphia Phillies. It's Rich Baxter and Matt Veasey talking with MLB.com's Todd Zolecki on the possible restart of a Spring Training for 2020 leading into the shortened season, and Todd's new book, "Doc: The Life Of Roy Halladay" - which I recommend getting for a great summer read on Roy Halladay.

We're also talking about our opinions on the 'what ifs' and 'when' of a start to a 2020 season, all of the negotiations involved and all things Phillies!
