Stairs rips one into the night, deep into right, way out of here.

Swam on, get it, crossed, and the Phillies are going to lead it.

Harper, the swing of his life.

My name is Justin Clue. I write for baseball prospectus.

With me is Liz Rocher, the editor of the Baseball Research Journal for Sabre.

Hello, Liz.

Hello, Justin.

Another happy Friday here in Phillies country after a week of watching the Phillies while

face down on a couch late at night. The times get slightly closer to normal as the Phillies

move from Los Angeles to Phoenix to play the Diamondbacks this weekend. But the baseball

itself has not dipped in quality. The Phillies are winners of eight of their last 10, 15 of their last 20. And I don't know about you, Liz, even though they lost game three of this series against the Dodgers for Blake Snell just kind of erased the Phillies lineup for eight

innings or so.

I got to tell you, I'm not sure my feelings have changed about this team, and they are probably

as high, if not the highest, they've been all season long.

Strong, strong agree.
