In today's episode, Philadelphia Phillies' starting pitcher Ranger Suarez has returned to Spring Training from the World Baseball Classic after experiencing tightness in his throwing side forearm. With now two starting pitchers having early arm issues, will this be a trend for the Phillies' season following last year's lengthy run to the World Series? Next, why is it that some nations seem to value the World Baseball Classic more than the United States despite baseball being "America's Pastime"?

In today's episode, Connor discusses Philadelphia Phillies' top prospect Andrew Painter's UCL sprain and what the process seems to be to get the 19 year old phenom back into pitching form at some point this season. Next, is a sprain of the UCL actually worse than a complete tear in some cases? How could this injury end up causing more issues than a tear requiring Tommy John surgery. Finally, Connor wraps up with Off The Poll, where he questions what everyone's concern level over the Painter injury is. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In today's episode, Connor breaks down what his ideal lineup would be for the Philadelphia Phillies both with and without Bryce Harper as a healthy part of the team. He starts with where he would set everyone up as the team waits for Harper to recovery from Tommy John surgery, including an interesting positioning of the top 4 batters, and then shares his thoughts on how the lineup would shift with Harper returning, which would force some really good hitters to 5th, 6th, and even 7th in the lineup. Finally, Connor shares some thoughts on the lack of news on Andrew Painter and what it could mean for the young pitcher's potential injury. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the 2nd day of Philadelphia Phillies' Spring Training games which saw the Minnesota Twins visit Clearwater to face a top 5 in the Phillies lineup that consisted of starting Major League players. Trea Turner had a great debut, and it's something that we should get used to as Philadelphia Phillies fans this season, because it's what he brings all regular season as well. Nick Castellanos had a couple nice at bats; could this be the start of Castellanos bounce back season??

In today's episode, Connor recaps the action from the Philadelphia Phillies' first Spring Training game vs. the New York Yankees! Brandon Marsh's swing looks cool and compact following an offseason of work with hitting coach Kevin Long, Edmundo Sosa and Josh Harrison both look strong defensively as infield depth pieces, and some young prospects had nice afternoons. Also, Nick Nelson may be a part of the bullpen going forward, but he doesn't look much like a potential rotation piece, even with a potential 6 man rotation at points this season.
