Episode Details

Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio criticize the Phillies for their "malpractice" regarding Andrew Painter's development and recent demotion to Triple-A. They evaluate the team's trade deadline strategy, suggesting that a weak farm system may force the organization to take on expensive contracts instead of trading top prospects. Hugh also makes a bold prediction that the Eagles will bench Jalen Hurts after their London game while doubling down on his controversial comparison of the quarterback to Rocky Balboa. 01:50 - Andrew Painter Demoted 07:00 - Phillies Managing Prospects 11:40 - Hurts Bench Prediction 20:20 - Rocky Balboa Analogy 26:25 - Supplemental Draft News 45:20 - Quarterback Factory Strategy
