Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia PhilliesAbout this episode
In today's episode, Connor reacts to the major news of Philadelphia Phillies reliever Jose Alvarado being suspended 80 games for a performance enhancing drug violation, also rendering him ineligible for the postseason. With a bullpen that already looked shaky at points this year, how in the world can the Phillies survive losing their most important reliever? Next, on a much more positive note, a recap of Mick Abel's historic debut on the mound yesterday that led to a sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates! Finally, a look ahead to the 4 game series starting tonight in Denver against the Colorado Rockies, another chance for the Phils to stay on their current hot streak.
