Phillies Nation Podcast: Episode 7 – Talking catchers: Chooch, Rupp, Alfaro

By Matthew Straubmuller on Flickr

The seventh episode of the Phillies Nation Podcast is live!

With Carlos Ruiz returning to Philadelphia this week, we talk catchers with Phillies Nation’s Kirsten Swanson and Brian Michael. Where does Chooch rank in Phils’ history? And are we OK with a full season of Cameron Rupp? Plus the week in review, and Aaron Altherr is having an awesome season.

The podcast is available on Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher, Spreaker and YouTube! (Links will update throughout the day Monday.)

Tim Malcolm

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
