Destiny Lugardo (@destiny_lugardo) of Phillies Nation and Leo Morgenstern (@morgensternmlb) of SI Phillies join Paul to bask in the glow of last weekend's Angels series before figuring out just how much to believe in this being the start of something great, and what needs to happen this month in order to keep it great (35 homers from Kyle Schwarber would be nice).

Phillies meme curator Ballin' (the pen name of Twitter's @inthephanattic) joins Paul to discuss her craft of Phillies content collection and creation, try to figure out why the "fun" element of these Phillies can sometimes go missing, and reveals the Beefy Boy of the Day in a pod exclusive (that has since been spoiled, but we're counting it).

Baseball Prospectus's Rob Orr (@NotTheBobbyOrr) joins the show to talk about his journey from the Phillies writing sphere to the national stage at BP, the Phillies' (mostly) successful 7-game road trip, and how we all can learn to love the Phils' prospect pipeline again.

Phillies Nation's Destiny Lugardo (@destiny_lugardo) pops by for a session on whether last week's Mets collapse "defines" the Phillies, the ever-tightening leash around Joe Girardi, looking forward to Rhys Hoskins's next slump breakout, and whether the West Coast road trip will be worth staying up for.

A quick bonus conversation with the Phillies front office leader on her rise from the Phillies blog world to one of the highest positions with the club. (Editor's note: Technical difficulties meant Paul needed to use a backup mic, which only kinda makes him sound like he's underwater.)

Paul and Matt relive the multiple personalities of last week's Rockies sweep and Mets series loss, try to reset their expectations for what a "good" offense is with this year's ball and run-scoring trends, and envision a time capsule to be opened in mid-June what Matt returns.

Matt and Paul revisit the infield situation (for the 4th, and definitely not last, time), come to some sort of grips on the inevitability of Ronald Torreyes and José Alvarado, and wonder how to get a request down to the batting practice DJ.

A rough first battle with divisional opponents leaves the Phils a bit bruised at 4-6, but bigger questions are lingering. When will Zack Wheeler be 100%? How soon is too soon to be making big lineup changes? And is Alec Bohm's fate really just to be another semi-failed Triple-A graduation?
