It’s our 2024 Philadelphia Phillies Season Preview! This year, excitement is in the air for this Phillies team as the bar is essentially set at the NLCS. One storyline after another is what we dove into this week as we head into the regular season. First time goes, Eric Moratelli from ThatBallsOuttaHere.com joined us for a look at what we can expect with various aspects of this team. Jeff and Erik then discussed how they view this team right out of the gate and which players will make a difference throughout the season.
But first, the NFL voted on a bunch of rule changes that will be implemented this year. We discuss them, especially the hip-drop tackle and new kickoff rules. (approx. 6:05)
What we threw down on the Table this week was an in-depth discussion and interview with Eric Moratelli from That Balls Outta Here to start off our Phillies Season Preview. How should we be viewing J.T. Realmuto at this point in his career, and what kind of production will be provide this season? A further look at the centerfield talent and how that position may take shape. Taijuan Walker looks far from ready as part of this starting rotation, so what should our level of concern be for his return and what we can do from the mound? Plus much more within this discussion!

As part of their Phillies Season Preview, Jeff and Erik made their predictions on which players will fill these categories: The Comeback Kid, The Rising Star, Who Needs To Bounce Back, The Breakout Guy, and the Dark Horse MVP. They also gave their division predictions as well as their Phillies regular season record thoughts. (approx. 53:25)
