Summary

Zack Wheeler is on a historic run in a Phillies uniform, but just how dominant has he been? Cliff is joined by Anthony Dabbundo to discuss Wheeler and the rest of the pitching staff (03:46). Which pitcher should the Phillies be more cautious with following the All-Star break? Should they consider bringing up a prospect from the minors sooner rather than later? Devon Givens joins the pod to break down No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe’s Summer League debut (53:42). What was the most impressive part of his game, and where could VJ still improve? Plus, Philly is getting a WNBA team! What should the name be? Drop a comment below with your suggestions. Email hot takes: [email protected].
