The Phillies Regression Is Nearly Complete and Sam Thompsons Numbers Never Took A Backseat

This week we discuss the 2025 Phillies season and result. The Phillies won the division again, but despite the early exit, was it a successful season in any sense? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the 1990 World Series loss for the Oakland A's and its ending of the run for those A's teams. Those teams went to three straight World Series, but since they only won the single title, do we consider them a success?

Our Hall of Famer this week is outfielder Sam Thompson. A man of surprising power and run production, but was it enough to earn his spot in the Hall of Fame?

In our singlular parting shot this week discuss pitchers and their lack of field in modern baseball. Can these pitchers be saved and will they ever return to the glory of Gred Maddux and his 18 gold gloves?

Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials all featuring World Series Baseball 2, Miller Lite, and Canon Cameras.

Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.
