Summary

Chuck and Ken dig into the Phillies’ recent run and the big questions surrounding the club: Kyle Schwarber’s power tear, the best way to structure the batting order, Bryce Harper’s ideal spot, and what Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner bring to the lineup. They also make the case that Ryan Howard still doesn’t get the respect he deserves, zoom out to look at broader MLB indicators like run differential, and close with a quick PGA and golf conversation.
