About this episode

The episode discusses the Phillies' poor defense and its implications, along with updates on the All-Star Game and comparisons to past teams.

It didn't lead to all 15 (!) runs the Phillies allowed on Monday, but another costly mistake in the field brought the question back to the fore: What can be done about the Phils' almost-historically bad defense? We also check in on All-Star Game news, think about the Derby, and find some eerie parallels between this Phillies team and another Dombrowski epoch.
