In today's episode, Connor discusses the Philadelphia Phillies loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks last night that rests largely on the shoulders of the pitchers for the Phillies and the front office that continues to force Rob Thomson to have to go with a bullpen game every 5 days instead of having a capable 5th starter. Who should be in that 5th spot in the rotation? The Phillies actually do have plenty of options. Next, last night was an entertaining game despite the loss, and JT Realmuto accomplished one of the more rare feats in all of baseball by hitting for the cycle, plus Diamondbacks Manager Torey Lovullo made himself look like an idiot. Finally, the Phillies have brought back a familiar thing from last season's playoff run!
