Should We Be Optimistic About The Phillies In 2026? (PST Episode 653)

The Philadelphia Phillies season is just around the corner and Spring Training will be here before we know it. Baseball season is almost here! That said, there are questions and storylines we’re following when it comes to this Phillies team and what they’ll look like here in 2026. This week, Matt Davis from ThatBallsOuttaHere.com over at Fansided joined the pod for a conversation about the Phillies offseason and what this coming season will hold. It was a fantastic discussion!

But first, the guys gave their Super Bowl predictions and thoughts on the Eagles offensive coordinator search. (Approx. 4:50)

From there, they got into a discussion about the Flyers and specifically how Trevor Zegras has seemingly hit a roadblock. How should Danny Briere address this? (Approx. 18:15)

Then they dove into some NBA and Sixers talk. Giannis self-diagnosed an injury, which was bizarre. Quentin Grimes has fallen off a cliff, and what that could mean for the trade deadline. (Approx. 25:50)

What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Matt Davis from That Balls Outta Here about this upcoming Phillies season. Thoughts on the offseason hits and misses. What will the level of competition be as the Mets might truly be a contender again? Should we be skeptical of this team “running it back” or should we settle down and see what happens with this talented group of players? All of this and much more this week on the Table!
