00:00Three in a row for the Fightin' Phils. Before we go any further, I gotta hear how it ended.

00:05A 2-0 deficit became a 3-2 win.

00:08First and second with nobody out.

00:11Ground ball, right side, into right field, a base hit.

00:15Here comes Schwarmer, out third, heading for home. Here's the throw to the plate.

00:18Not in time!

00:21Bryce Harper wins it here in the bottom of the 10th inning, 3-2.

00:28Awesome.

00:29It's the seventh dropout win of the year for the Phils.

00:39What an outstanding job by the Phils last night coming back.

00:43Listen to that crowd, I mean that's great stuff.

00:45So look, Harper I think the star of the game, Zach Wheeler, obviously any time you start

00:49only give up two runs, you know, you had a big hand in it, so too did the bullpen, so

00:53too did grit.

00:55Bullpen, grit, coming back and finding, how about Rojas with the catch?

00:59I mean that was, John, that was a pretty damn bullpen.

01:02Bullpen, Orion Kirkland got out there, did his thing, Hoffman, Estevez, Matt Strom, yes,

01:08they shut it down too.

01:10That was the type of win that carries, man.

01:12No, that's good stuff, man.

01:13That was the type of win where you saw Bryce's reaction, you saw Bryce was ready for that

01:20reaction way before the end of that game.

01:23You saw he was dialed in and that this team was performing with a different intensity

01:29against a quality opponent.

01:32Last night felt good when it was all said and done, but it felt good during the game

01:37because it was like, oh my gosh, wow, that's the Phillies team.

01:43It wasn't overwhelmingly like blammo, 12 runs, 11 runs, but it was good baseball for the

01:50most part and it was with our leader finally playing like a leader.

01:55Well, look, I mean they're two best players, probably their two best players last night,

01:59Harper and Wheeler.

02:00So, we'll take your thoughts on the Phillies, the 2-1-5, 5-9-2, 94-94, I'll tell you a lot

02:05of people you might not know, but it's not just three in a row for the Phillies, it's

02:098-12.

02:11So that sounds like the Phillies from earlier this year.

02:15A lot better.

02:16Right?

02:17Sounds a lot better.

02:18You know, recently, three days ago, we were on a bad mood, but when you just take a step

02:21back, when you take two steps back and you survey the last two weeks, you say, oh, my

02:28team has actually won 8-of-12.

02:31I remember what that felt like.

02:32Alright, so we'll take your thoughts on the Phillies who maintained with the Atlanta Braves

02:37last night.

02:38Braves win, Phillies win.

02:39So, 2-1-5, 5-9-2, 94-94 to get in on the fight and Phil's done a nice job last night.
