Episode Details

The Philadelphia Phillies surge in August as Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott, Justin Crawford, and Bryce Harper ignite the lineup. Can this contact-heavy approach propel the Phillies deep into October and shake up the National League playoff picture?

Connor Thomas spotlights the red-hot bats fueling Philadelphia’s offensive turnaround, breaking down surprising stat lines and how adjusted plate approaches are paying off.
