The Phillies’ Larry Andersen wants to get rid of instant replay reviews

With less than one week until spring training, several members of the Philadelphia Phillies broadcast team — Larry Andersen, Kevin Frandsen, Scott Franzke, Jim Jackson, and Tom McCarthy — recently connected on Zoom for the latest installment of their popular Friday Night Roundtable.
