Oh, but we were out of there in 2:14 minutes, barely enough time to settle into the friendly confines and get acclimated to what's going on around you.

That's baseball though in 2023, and it's a shame that it's happening. Baseball has never been on a 'time clock' but now the game feels rushed and no doubt much different than it used to be.

Goodbye Joe G, once you're a Phillie, your always a Phillie! Thanks for the memories. 

The first weekend of June sees the Los Angeles Angels come to Philly, (I am still calling them the Anaheim Angels) and of course Mike Trout who is the best player in baseball returns to the South Jersey hometown where he grew up!

It hasn't been so good at the friendly confines of Citizens Bank Park for the Phillies - they are just 10-13 at home going into today's game with the Dodgers. Can we avoid being swept?

Prior to joining Gary, I am talking Phillies with what they have been going through in the past few days, maybe the offense has sorted some things out a little. 

All this and a chat with Gary on his Mets Musings show, looking forward to talking with Matt on Sunday about the Phillies when they are up at Citi Field. 

I'll be with my usual co-host Matt Veasey for the Phillies Opener tomorrow, and I can't wait. I haven't been to the ballpark for a long time, it seems like 2 seasons, which is a record for me, but I stayed away in the Covid-19 times, not that it's over now even, but I'll be there for Opening Day!

The Players Association will come back with a response to the MLB on Monday Jan. 24th, and hopefully it will be good news, a lot of news outlets are reporting it won't be a settlement but we'll have to wait and see.

Brandon Duckworth's birthday on the 24th, the show talks about that and then we take a look at Jayson Werth and Pat Burrell, and how they both made out after their time on the WS winning team in 2008.

The Phillies are retired numbers are talked about, I really think the Phillies have this right, don't retire everyone's number like the Yankees have for god's sake.

All of this and so much more! 

Should baseball fans flex their collective muscles by not buying any tickets when this is going on? This will put some added leverage on the whole situation, I know I won't be buying tickets anytime too soon. Should the owners even be able to sell tickets when technically there aren't any players? 

All of this and more on the first show of the year for the Phillies Talk Podcast with Rich Baxter for 2022.

We're just getting started in this tremendous holiday season and hope to be back for another show before Christmas, so put up your feet, pour that hot cup of cocoa or tea and enjoy this edition of Phillies Talk Podcast!

Bryce Harper is up for vote tonight, at 6 PM we will know who the NL MVP is... of course we'll talk about that in the next show.

I also have to catch up with my co-host, Matt Veasey as well, which hopefully he'll be talking with us soon!

Have fun, give a listen and subscribe!

All this and more on the show today with Rich going solo again! 

A solo show this time around but there is plenty to talk about with the Phils still being a possible NL East Champ - just six games remaining and 3 of those games happen to be with the Braves, so if the Phillies can just keep winning, we may see them in the playoffs. 

A bit of a rant develops on the podcast, so be forewarned, this team could have easily coasted into the playoffs with the correct moves by management that were never made. 

All this and more on this edition of the podcast. Please be a sponsor of the show, for only the price than less of a cup of coffee, you can be a listening sponsor of the show!

Later on in the show, Rich and Matt talk about the trade scenario.

The Padres with their high-powered offense are in town, they got in at 4 am so they may be a little weary for Game 1 - but we have Zack Wheeler on the mound anyway, so all is good, isn't it? 

Time for Mom, Baseball, and Apple Pie, it's July 4th! 

How are the Phillies doing now?

Vince Velasquez has been a Phillies player for a long time, the Phils have stayed with him, but should they?

All of this and more!

Girardi gets backed into a corner by the media, pro sports gambling is mentioned by the press as to why Joe G needs to be more forthcoming with the press? That's what they said. Joe said, not so fast. Who's right?

Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler, we are happy to have them both, who's the Phillies ace at this point?

The Phils come home to a 'full capacity' stadium, we wonder how many of the Phillies faithful will want to pay to see this team?

The Phils have now sung to a winning streak which is always better than losing... but Rich and Matt try to break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of this season so far. 

What has happened to two Phillies players that use to play very well? Scott "Jet Pax" Kingery and Rhys Hoskins struggle to show a decent season in the batting department. It's concerning, and maybe there is a reason for it? 

We talk about the JT Realmuto contract, will the Phillies seal a deal with him before he hits the free-agent market? 

Interesting cardboard cutouts and fan noise please our ears while watching, what do you think? Rachael says Rich isn't selfish to want baseball this weekend featuring the Phillies, while Cory says, yes, Rich is the only one that thinks Phillies baseball should be played this weekend. Someone has to be right!

We're also talking about our opinions on the 'what ifs' and 'when' of a start to a 2020 season, all of the negotiations involved and all things Phillies!
