The Phillies are often bad and sometimes good, but never boring. Matt Gelb and Bo Wulf bring you in-depth coverage of the Phils in podcast form all season long.
Bo Wulf and Meghan Montemurro talk about the great article that Meghan and Matt wrote on Roy Halladay's perfect game and how people that were part of it remember the game.
The guys are joined by a baseball writing legend, ESPN's Tim Kurkjian, in their ongoing quest to feel good about something. So they draft the things they miss most about baseball, but really, it's just a chance to have Tim tell everyone some hilarious stories. And he delivers.
Matt is back from paternity leave and he has devised a game to play with Bo: Are you buying or selling specific details from the rumored plans of baseball's return? We don't know much about anything, but some of the particulars sound a bit outlandish. Can all 30 teams really play in their home ballparks? Is this regional plan feasible? And, July 4? Really? Plus, Bo asks Matt about his recent conversation with J.T. Realmuto and the potential fallout.
Bo and Meghan discuss Meghan's story on the Phillies' 1982 trade that sent Larry Bowa and minor-league shortstop Ryne Sandberg to the Cubs in exchange for Iván De Jesús. We know how it turned out in real life, but ... Plus, an update on Meghan's OOTP Phillies season.
Bo and Meghan discuss some of the possibilities for a return to baseball and what it would mean for the Phillies. How would they handle prospects like Alec Bohm in such a hypothetical? Plus, an update on Meghan's OOTP stewardship ...
On this week's episode of "Everybody Hits," longtime Phillie Larry Bowa joins us. Bowa offers his thoughts on what he's doing to stay busy in quarantine, whether the Arizona/Florida plans would work, the best teammate he ever had and more. Plus, Bowa is anointed baseball's Commissioner -- what changes would he implement to improve the game?
Bo and Meghan welcome special guest Brad Lidge to talk about how he's passing the time these days, his memories of the magical 2008 season and which member of the World Series team he'd want to be quarantined with ...
Bo and Meghan react to the possibility of a sequestered season in Arizona and discuss the on-field ramifications of the season's uncertainty for the Phillies ...
Matt is joined by a special guest, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, to discuss his new book, "Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay." Todd takes us behind the process of writing the book -- the many complicated layers of Halladay, recreating stories with most of the characters being deceased, and the more than 100 interviews that fueled it. The book made Matt feel something he didn't expect to feel about Halladay. Todd shares how he discovered some of the unreported details of Halladay's career and life.
Bo and Matt are back to celebrate Opening Day with a mental wellness check on each other. What is keeping them sane? We sure would love to have some baseball right now, and if there is baseball, what should the adjusted schedule look like? Maybe it's a chance to get weird -- tradition be damned. Matt raises the looming J.T. Realmuto question. Then, Bo and Matt field their own Opening Day lineups of current household items. Bo chooses stuffed animals; Matt goes with whiskey bottles.
The world has changed and baseball doesn't feel all that significant right now. So, Bo and Matt are joined by Meghan Montemurro for a chat about their place in all of this -- how to write, what to write, finding the proper tone and whether a distraction is appropriate. They are asking for your help: Tell us what you want, as readers, from our Phillies coverage. Use the hashtag #EverybodyHits. Stay safe.
It's just another normal day in Phillies camp while the rest of the world confronts an epidemic. How weird is that? Meghan Montemurro joins the guys from Clearwater and sets the scene. Then, Bo, Meghan and Matt try to talk about some baseball -- namely, the fallout from the Seranthony Dominguez news.
It's the halfway point of spring training and ... the Phillies still have no idea who will fill most of their bullpen. Maybe that is OK. Maybe not. But Matt, down in Clearwater, has some ideas on how he would build his Opening Day bullpen right now. And Bo wants to know about Robert "Big Bob" Stock.
