Stubbs must go

Come on, be serious, “everyone” does not love Stubbs. The “good vibes” are long gone!
Stark and Solnis would have been great!

Didn’t need the cynical snarky rant at the beginning about Phils optimism for a pitcher who won 15 2 years ago and was bad last year. Stick that in the Dirty Inning Pod so I can ignore it more efficiently. Solo Stolnis!

I don’t think I’ve missed an episode since the Phillies signed Harper. John is an excellent conductor and consummate professional. Justin’s sense of humor, deeply steeped in the Simpsons, reminds me of my own friend group. I like Liz’s point of view on the Union and player’s rights. But what happened Friday’s episode? Was Liz drunk? I wouldn’t have been able to finish the episode were it not for Justin taking up the slack. I hope she’s ok. Keep up the good work gang!
Informative, funny, on target, and no screaming! 👍🏼

This is one of the best Phillies podcasts for staying up to date on the goins-on. John, Liz and Justin are all great and offer different things to the whole discussion. There’s focus on the Phillies, with some actual rational debate and nuance rather than the rantings of live sports radio. Even the tangents are enjoyable.
