Why Taijuan Walker Deserves Credit From Philadelphia Phillies Fans For His Bounce Back Season

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies win over the Cincinnati Reds in their series opener in Ohio, and discusses why Taijuan Walker deserves a lot of credit for his season so far! After a terrible 2024 campaign, how has Walker been able to help stabilize things for the Phils this time around? And what else went in to a nice comeback win last night? Next, a look at some of the players that will be returning to the Phillies in the next week or so, and the corresponding roster moves that will have to be made to make room for them. Finally, a preview of game 2 of the Phils' series with the Reds, and another chance to see if Ranger Suarez can regain some form on the mound.
