Summary
Chuck and Ken dig into a brutal start for the Phillies, asking whether the club has already hit rock bottom and what’s really behind the collapse — from lack of slug and poor defense to shaky pitching command and growing pressure on Rob Thomson and the front office. They also break down why the Braves look like the class of the division, spotlight rising prospect Jesús Made, launch a new “Heat Is On” segment with a look at Nolan Ryan’s legendary velocity, and finish on a much brighter note with the Flyers’ surprising playoff energy.
