00:00This offense for the Phillies is atrocious, Ricky.
00:03I know you did enough last night to win the game,
00:06but if you look at this Phillies offense,
00:08first of all, they have not scored more than four runs since May 18th.
00:13We're going on 12 games now where they have not scored over four runs.
00:17They are tied for 29th in Major League Baseball
00:22out of 30 teams in runs scored on the season.
00:24They're 29th in batting average, 21st in slugging percentage,
00:3028th in on-base percentage.
00:31They have a negative 25 run differential.
00:35There's only three teams in the National League that are worse,
00:37the Reds, the Rockies, and the Giants.
00:40And they're doing all this even though they have Brandon Marsh
00:42who's in the top of the National League in batting average.
00:45Where would they be without Brandon Marsh?
00:47What's going on with this offense, Ricky, and how do they fix it?
00:51I don't know if there is a quick fix to this.
00:54What you're seeing is as a whole, I see a lot of guessing.
00:57I don't know, you know what, anybody could watch the game.
01:01But what I'm seeing is a lot of guessing.
01:04They're swinging at a lot of, they're swinging through a lot of fastballs.
01:08That's my biggest problem here.
01:10And I mean, you could take what happened last night.
01:12Turner had two hits, but he just, he's just hitting the ball where the guys aren't.
01:17It's not, one of his hits was 50.2 miles an hour.
01:20I mean, literally hit it to the pitcher and it was a base hit because of his speed.
01:24All right, you look at Schwarber, okay, he's going to get his home runs because that's what he does.
01:29But he was 0 for 2 with a couple walks.
01:31I think other teams are being very careful with him, which is why you're not seeing him kind of go
01:37off right now.
01:39Bryce Harper was all right last night.
01:41But, I mean, you think about this.
01:43Between Turner, Harper, and Marsh, that was two, six, seven hits.
01:47They had nine total hits.
01:49So there's six guys in the lineup doing jack.
01:52You know what I mean?
01:53And that's where you have to deepen your lineup.
01:57You have to be able to get everybody going in a positive direction.
02:01But I don't know if that's going to happen with this team.
