00:00What's been to this point one of your biggest surprises for the Phillies,
00:04or what's been to this point the thing where you say, yeah, this makes sense,
00:07that's why they're 11 games over .500?
00:09Yeah, well, the biggest surprise is they fired the manager,
00:12because I just did not see that happening,
00:14because I did not see them hitting any sort of trouble like that
00:19that will require them to fire Rob Thompson, who did not deserve to be fired.
00:24Now, Don Mattingly's done a great job, and they have picked it up.
00:28I'm surprised by a lot of things.
00:30If I'm a Phillies fan, and I'm not a fan of anyone, but I'm a fan of everyone,
00:34I would be thrilled to be in the spot that they're in right now,
00:37because a lot of things have gone wrong this year,
00:40and they're still right there in the division.
00:43I think they're going to win the division, nothing against the Braves,
00:47but with their injuries that they have, Spencer Strider and others,
00:51I think the Phillies are in a prime position to win the division this year.
00:55I think they're starting to get going here,
00:57and they're starting to swing the bat a little bit better,
01:00and we know their pitching is really good when everybody's right.
01:04So I would be thrilled where I was, where I am, if I'm a Phillies fan.
