Bob and Ant try to make sense of the Phillies, who are the most unconventional good team, maybe ever. Thanks to their season-best six-game winning streak entering Friday, they are back within shouting distance in the NL East race. Is it realistic that they can catch the Atlanta Braves? The boys discuss. Also, a look at Aaron Nola turning into a phoenix rising from the ashes, a defensive assessment of the team after watching the new-look positional alignment, and Ant argues that Bryce Harper has been the catalyst for this Phillies turnaround on offense more than any other player. All that and more.
