00:00I was thinking last night you know I lay in bed I think about the show there's been a lot
00:04of
00:04pushback from the fans that this Phillies team ran it back ran it back ran it back but then we
00:10were told from Dave Dombrowski Rob Thompson hey we got a good club we got a good team and I
00:15started
00:15to think in the Bryce Harper era is this the best opening day roster we have had yet and I
00:25know
00:25there's some fans at first blush may say what are you crazy but when you really dive deep and you
00:30look at the roster I'm talking about the lineup the starting rotation and that bullpen all put
00:36together is this the best Phillies team that Bryce Harper has been a part of on opening day what say
00:43you that's a that is a really good question I was kind of looking at it thinking about it and
00:49you
00:49know the reason why I think this may be I mean you look at the lineup and you're going to
00:54have your
00:54question marks obviously with a guy in center field but back in 23 I would the year they went
01:01up against the Arizona Diamondbacks had their shot they end up losing in the NLCS that to me was their
01:07best chance to win a World Series that's to start with now you look at the team right now and
01:13you
01:13have a you have a guy in Kyle Schwarber coming off a 56 home run season 130 RBIs you have
01:20Trey Turner a 300
01:21hitter at the top of your lineup I guess the question mark would go down to like a Bryson Stott
01:26and
01:27maybe maybe JT's not as good as he was in the past hitting and then you know what the Rojas
01:33and Marsh
01:34versus the center fielder and Justin Crawford right now I know there's some question marks but I think
01:40what really kind of solidifies things is when you look at the bullpen you look at the starting rotation
01:46I think this starting rotation is fantastic you think back to 2023 where were they looking for
01:53bullpen help Ranger Suarez so I mean you put all that together and I think you look at the bullpen
02:00that they have this year I think they could be the best in the league in the bullpen this year
02:04I think that's what makes them a better roster this year than any other year
02:08you
02:12you
