Watched the MLB video stream but listened to Scott Franzke and Kevin Stocker on the radio broadcast.  Really good interviews with Assistant GM Preston Mattingly, game manager Marty Malloy (Threshers Manager), Minor League hitting coordinator Luke Murton and Minor League pitching coordinator Travis Herbert.  Very informative stuff about the players and the development process.


Also check out the Phillies Player Development site on either X or Instagram - some really good videos of today’s action - both pre game and during the contest.
