Episode Notes

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies shutout loss to the New York Mets that completed a miserable sweep at the hands of their division rivals up in Queens. With a completely disheartening series now complete, is it time to give up on the Phillies as World Series contenders, or is that an overreaction to 3 games that ultimately may not make or break the season? Next, a very interesting comment from Jayson Stark of The Athletic about the Mets potentially having tells on the Phillies pitchers, and why it would be an organizational failure if it proves true. Finally, a look at the Phils' series with the Atlanta Braves starting tonight at The Bank and why there is more at stake than just stopping a slide in the standings.
