The Future Episode: Pondering the Phillies Future with Matt Gelb, Pearson's Promising Future & Charlie Montoyo's Uncertain Future

They don't have a crystal ball, but they sure have the next best
thing; Drew and Stoeten welcome The Athletic's Philadelphia
Phillies scrivener, and possible seer, Matt Gelb to answer a very
simple question: What the f--k is going on in Philadelphia (10:45)?
Gelb eloquently lays out the timeline of events leading up to the
Phillies canceling all activities (13:30) and what the players are
doing now amid the shutdown (17:15). The trio discuss competitive
balance (20:55) and potential grievances spawning from this
uncertain time (24:15). After bidding adieu to Matt, Drew 1 and
Drew 2 (you decide which is which) react to Nate Pearson's
scintillating debut (31:30). The guys share their takeaways from
Pearson's first start against Washington, and chat about what the
future holds for the 23-year-old. Old Reliable's Twitter is ablaze
with "Fire Charlie Montoyo" tweets, but do they actually have merit
(46:30)? Where do the guys see Montoyo after this season? Lastly,
the bullpen has demonstrated its a potential to be consistently
good (53:15), and Drew is smitten by Teoscar Hernández
(58:30).Follow Drew on Twitter: @DrewGROFFollow Stoeten on Twitter:
