## Resource

Spencer and Sean break down a rough start to the 2026 season for the Philadelphia Phillies. After an opening day win, the Phils drop three straight, including an ugly 13-2 loss to the Nationals. The guys discuss the sloppy defense, Taijuan Walker's rough outing, Rob Thomson's ejection, and the early struggles of the Big Three. Plus, is it fair for fans to be booing Bryce Harper already? Finally, they look ahead to Tuesday's massive bright spot: the MLB debut of top prospect Andrew Painter!
