Episode Notes

The Phillies took exactly 21 days to get back above .500 after being 10 games under on April 26th. Bob and Ant look at the most recent three games - a sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates - where the offense finally showed signs of life, and Cristopher Sanchez and Zack Wheeler turned the early-season Cy Young race in the N.L. on its ear. The guys also talk about the possibility of both Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber taking part in the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game, Dusty Wathan as a potential future manager, a couple of conundrums - in Aaron Nola and J.T. Realmuto, and the guys discuss something that happened this week in baseball that we may never see again in our lifetime.
